It presents tlio view with which tho friends cf tlui ilceoseil takciof tho wholo matter, nml us such, controverts boiim or tho ru in ira wlilrh tlio New York prcs havo giv en orlRln to. Wo nmko Iho followliiK ex t ics t A I iho ln)Wp,iper talk about free lovo nml l'cmrlorliin, 1h simply rUttctiluiisi. Tho (li . emeil wnn a laltlil'nl husband and father, . i I rcKardcil tho marriage relation In tho no light as tho Kreut liinss of thoso who 111 read this column, nml was inoro con k rvtitlve, even, than tlio majority as to tho induct and relation of miib.imN and wlvi a sui li, tliouuh ho did not hold that adultery 1m Iho only eaiiso for which ono may Justly seek n divorce, lint In this ho wni In luiiccmont with a largo class In tho couiniunlly who aro entirely above any .oisplcloii ns to I'rco love. Ills aciualnt aneo with Mrs. .Mcl-'arland finally wow lulu n warm, mutual regard, but wo aro able to btalo unequivocally, on tho testimo ny of both panics, that no feeling of this sort cxixtvtl till aricr n llnal separation bo tween husband and wlfo bad taken placo In tho prcenco of vilnowi and from that tune thcie had been but cry llttlo Inlcr eotirt, between them, ho seeliiB her only oii' c Huiueilmcs for a period of a year, as they bold Iclt Hint, until sho was legally divorced, their relations to each other n'i iild bo noil guarded, and abovo all sus picion ol reproach. As to this woman over whoso life now bangs so black n cloud, oven If sho wcro artrul or vicious, tho friends of tho deceased utterly icpudialo tho Ide.i that ho could liavo been entrapped, lie was n man or strength of purisiso and firm principle, and It Is Impossible for bis trlcuds, Tor n moment, to bollovo that tho responsibility In tho matter belong to her ralhor than him. N'ono of the parlies most interested aceito e ther trx1 deceased or bis wlfo of any Im morality In the o.isoj though thosonsatlon nl newspapers eeui to bo glad to nssumo lli.it thcro was the worst kind of Impurity. TIiofc mo t Intimately acquainted with tho alluir, Including as high-minded men and women as can bo found In New York, feel porli etly clear on this point. Whntocr the vile breath of slander may assert, 1 Irmly bcllevo her to bo n true, heroic, hd'li-iulnded, virtuous woman ; ami most uiiliesllatlngly glvo her tho heartlost sym paihv and tho niot cordial and helpful as sistance, especially In tlio great work of training up tho children of the deceased, upon which sho enters with a lixed princi ple nml earnest purpose. As to her divorce from McFnilnnd, Iho e:i o was conducted by Hon. Albert O. IVitir of lndiauapollJ and thcro is tho Hint positive, assurance that It any dlvorco Hnintid In Indiana Is legal, It Is this. Mrs. Mei'aiiand was thcro lor fifteen months, ind at tho tlmo she went was a citizen of M'isachuelts and not of New York. Whit respect tho courts of Xcw York ni.iy show t the awards of an Indiana court I do not pretend to know. When tho balancing .' the probabilities at tho A ".tor Houso bo gun to show agaln-t recovery, both parties wero exceedingly anxious to bo united lu marriage, that sho might bear bis name rod havo a real claim' to tlio euro of iliu ciilldrci. j saw no objection if legal ad vieo lutciy iscd no obstacle ; If such imped iments stood In tho way, neither party do stred that tlio thing should bo done. Ac cordingly tho legal counsel of both parlies wcro carofully consulted. They aro gentlo nien of long experience, and good rcputo In their profession, as well as of unblemished character, and they advised that the ccre monv should take place. a . The estate, of which exaggerated reports hae been published, consists mainly of Tribune stock, and after tho demands a gnltisl it aio met may perhaps amount to f..),000. Tho murderer is of Irish birth, though educated In this country; was eighteen years older than his who: has been accustomed to strong drink i threw tho stipportof tho family upon Ids wife, es pecially in recent years; and, long before .ho formed the acquaintance, of tho deceas ed, her lllc had becomo unendurable. That the deceased did proiror nssistanco to a much abused woman, carrying n load too heavy to bu borne, wo beliovo to bo tho whole story as to Ids error In tho matter. There was' but a singlo partition between mom and tint of -McFarland, and his direct testimony to tho writer was that loud talk of razors "and other expressions, os iiepliiUy on mm occasion which ho named, ' 1 dim i I'r.Mevo Ihnt.violcneo might 'at any time I.e. fxpuctotl ; nnel this accords preeW'lv with tho statements of bis wife, who Iw'llevcd her life to bo In Imminent danger, though sho relates that her hus band was accustomed at times to express the most eslr.ivagant regard and admira tion .for "iier, declaring that ho could never Inn m ber if Ue Knew tier, a qualification tho significance of which needs no explanation. .71 . t.ss.i vtirsitr ts i. is tits TV II 11.

Mr. Speaker Jowoll, on accepting tho lionoi conferred upon dim, delivered a very ablo and practical address upon tho o vlls of long sessions and tho means of ro Juclng tho sessions to a icasonablo period, Ilia itmarks iiro very timely. Ho pro seuls the laso In a very forcible maimer, ttud his propositions aro so convincing that I hcctl is given to his suggestions, wo may expect thai Iho session this year will closo by the first of May. Wo commend to tho people of this Commonwealth u careful po rn al of tho statistics prosouted by Mr. Jewell, and we trust that ouo of tho earlier acts of the session will fix tho rate of com pensation.

A Wcslcrn paper In crowing over tho fact that tlio woman's rights move mcnt Is gaining moro ground In tho West than In tho Kast, gives uttornnco to tho fol lowing remarks : "Wltliln tho past two wcoks laws havo been unulo for tho protection nnd advance ment oT women, In tdrco widely separated localities of tho great West.

Tho city of Omaha now nbsolutoly prohibits, either In thentros or concert sa loons, all descriptions of tho popular ballet girl shows, known as "leg drama." And tho city of Sacramento dns passed nn ordi nance that no females shall bo employed to attend in tho beer saloons nflcr twelve o'clock nt night. This last will appear to many nn improvement so trilling ns to bo almost ridiculous. Hut softly ; It is a great thing for Sacramento to',do. Next tiling, sho will extinguish tho prclly waiter girl system entirely. Whllo Iho Haul produces ponderous niagazlno articles, holds con ventions, raves vaguely about "social sci ence," nnd theorizes In endless rceoiidlto disquisitions for tlio Improvement of civil and social affairs, tlio West quietly does tho work."

A'cw York Times. Ciun.iT Floods in Knoi.a.nd. Tho Lon don Times of Dec. 21 states that heavy rains which had provallcd for several days had causod great floods in many parts of Kngland. In tho midland counties they wcro vory dostructlvo, and In tho valo of Trent thousands of ncros woro submerged. At Isottingbani tho water In tho river reach ed within a foot and n half of tho highest point over known. Many buildings wero flooded. At Derby tlio Dorwent overflow ed Its banks and did an linmenso amount of damage. Tlio water was flvo feet deep In a largo number of dwellings and ware houses, and St. Paul's church was "block ed up" with water so that no service could bo held on Sunday. In Shropshire and North Wales tho rains produced floods al most unprecedented In tho present centu ry. At Shrewsbury, wlicro tho rivers Sev ern and lies Join, tho water submerged a vast number of house?. Boats, cabs, wag ons and rafts were In constant icqulsltloii to convey tlio pcoplo from tlio suburbs to tho centre of tho town. An Immense n niount or damage was dono to stock and property. AtMclverly, alow lying dis trict, tho cottagers wero entirely driven from their homes, and tho laud for miles presented a frightful wasto of waters, with only tho tops of trees dcro nnd llicro Inter spersed. Tho Injury caused by tho floods Is estimated at $2,000,000. Tin: Unqlisu Pnnss oil the Presi dent's Message. With really surprising enterprise for a London Journal, tho Times of that city published In Its morning edi tion of Dec. 7th, a cablo synopsis of tho President's message. A correspondent says : Tho messago has been, on tho whole, well received dore.

NlCKNAMr.s. Wo tako tho followliij very scnslblo remarks from tho Itcglstrar's report or tho births, marriages and deaths or tho city or Iloston for 1807 ! Ono of tho crying ovlls of tho day, as well as ono of tho most ridiculous, Is tho custom of adopting somo nonsensical np pcllallon In lieu of a proper given iinuie, and insisting on its being recognized on oycry and nil occasions. Theso names may not bo very oblcctlonablo In ordinary miliar lulorcourso with friends, but In a formal proceeding, llko that of marriage, such designations are entirely out of place. If parties may bo credited, nono aro now named I-.llen, Catharine, Kllzabcth, Caro line, and Louisa ; but In their stead wo have Nelly, Kato, Llzzlo, Currlo, and last, tho most silly of all Lulu. In vain Is tho Impropriety of being married undor any other namo than tho correct ono dwelt up on ; lu valu Is It ttatod, that though It may not bo Improper to uso thoso familiar np pollotlvos, It Is not rulvisablo that they should bo ontcrod on a publlo record, nnd thus Inour tho risk of soma future embar ossmonl, affecting, It may bo, iomo own er's title to real cstato or to a pension. ?firrtiiraffi William Cullcti llryanl Mys tho mo ment It Is clear that women doslro tho right or voting In political elections, Il should bo conceded to them, nsn tnnttor or slmplo Jiisllco) nnd It is doslrnblo that tlio subject should bo agitated, wero It only that whatever doubt exists on this point may bo removed. Hcv. Mrs. P. A. Ilanaford has accept ed n call to scttlo over a liberal society In New Hnvcn with a salary or $2300.

"TliW ac tion Is right. Let us havo no blasphomy uttered or Immorality Inculcated boforo our audiences, Tho purity or tho rostrum must nnd shnll bo preserved." Senator Cragln's bill for Iho suspen sion or polygamy In Utah, contains tho fol lowing clause: Marriage, so far as its val idity In law Is concerned In tho bald Terri tory, Is hereby declared a civil contract lo which tho consent of parlies eapablolu law or contracting Is essential.

Tho Chicago Times makes tho following comment on tho bill : Senator Cragln's bill forbidding a man to marry his grandmoth er is timely. Mr. IJocchcr's latest expla nation, to tt e cll'cel that ho considers It his magisterial" duty lo marry anybody of sulllelcnt age, teems to call for a law not only forbidding a man to marry his grand mother, but to prevent him from marry ing her in spllo of tho protest of his grand father. Slnco tho Queen of Madagxsear gavo In her adhesion to Christianity, tho pcoplo havo been adopting It In great nnmbors, nnd tho nngllsli missionaries Are calling earnestly for a largo increaso of their force. They say that between May, 1S07, and De cember, 1E03, 00,000 wero added to tlio num ber attending their services, and that tho number of soparalo congregations had, during tho same lime, risen from 02 to US. Tho current year bids fair to show even a moio remarkable Increase. Already 20 or 30 now congregations havo been formed slnco January, and somo of tho existing congregations havo been doubled within tho samo time. About 120 chapels are, at tho present time, being cither built or en larged. Tho simplest post ofllco in tho world Is to bo found on tho south extremity of A- mcilca. l or somo years past a small bar rel has been fastened by an Iron chain to tlio outermost rock of tho mountains over hanging tho Straits of Magellan, opposlto Terra del I'ticgo. It Is opened by every ship which passes through tho Straits, ci ther lo placo letters In it or to tako letters from It. Tho post office, therefore, takes caro of Itsolf, It Is conllnod to tho protec tion of seafarers, and there Is no cxamplo of uny breach of this trust having occurred.

Tho Cincinnati Luqulrcr, an other organ of tlio party, says tho Demo crats do not need numbers so much as brains In Congress. In 1601, a lawyer called al tho War De partment to transact somo official business with tho lato Mr. Stanton. After they wero through, they began to talk about their common profession, In which tho Secreta ry had won so many victories. "Ah," bald Stanton, "how I long to return to tho bar I Hut I am hero trying this cause against tho Confederacy, and must btay till wo enter up final judgment. Then I shall gladly retire and look after the affairs of John Doe."

Tho now Oovcrnor of Texas, (len. II. J. Davis, Is a native Southerner or whom his Stato and party may well bo proud. Whon forced to fly from Texas, oarly In tho rebellion, for Ids Union sentiments, ho went to Now Orleans and reported to C!en. Ilutlcr, then in command of that city. In stead or seeking for safo conduct to tho North, as many or tho rorugeesdld, ho ask ed for power to go back anil raiso n regi ment. Gcu. Ilutlcr commissioned him, and Cicn. Davis returned and put himself at tho head of n forco that did signal ser vice to tho country. Publlo sentiment lias changed somo wdat in Massacdusetts slnco tho following was written, forly-lwu years ago, by n lead ing editor or tho State, Joseph T. liucklng ham of Iloston : "Alclbladcs, or somo otli er great man or antiquity, It Is said cut off Ids dog's tall quid nuiies might not becomo extinct for want of excitement, Somo such mollvo wo doubt not, moved ono or two of our national nnd experimental philoso phers to get up tho project of a railroad rroin Iloston to Albany a project which ovory ono knows, who knows tho simplest rules In arithmetic, to bo Impracticable, but an oxpenso llttlo loss than tho market valuo or tho wholo territory or M issachu colts, and wdlcd, IT practicable, every per sou or common sense knows would bo as usolessasa railroad from Iloston lo tho moon," The appropriations undor which tho work upon tho now post-ofllco at Iloston has thus far boon prosecuted, woro $500,000 for tlio land and (200,000 for tho foundation nnd baseuiont.

Correspondents nro requested to forward $10, when, of course, thoy will hear nothing further from tho Institution. WiiatJudoi: HoAn Says. Tho Trio- uuo's Washington correspondent, after mentioning tho fact that Judgo Hoar reach ed Washington Monday night or Tuesday morning, nnd wns nt tho cnblnct meeting on Tuesday, says that ho had two consul tations with tho president.

In answer ton direct question ho bald: "Tho president will not withdraw my name. I shall, through my republican friends, insist on a direct voto on my nomination.
