A Novel Convention. A convention of a

problem of the '-docial evil," which, with the
'liberal divorce system, is srettinjr to be a para-
mount quvslioo m the West. lbe cunvcution,
bj a voJeof'27i toloj, voted to recouimend the
amending of the "municipal code,r so as to allow
boards of health to "regulate" houses , of ill-fame.
The proposition to '-license" .was stricken out.
The desiirn is to try the effect of thej European

Everybody Jiaa heard the term ' "morgsuatIa
marriage",' and many people suppose that ratxC
risges of this kind are a "pecies of concubroi,,
in which the ktugs and princes of, jEurcpo art!
fond of: indulging.- This is not the etae, how-
ever, A morganatic marriage is just as biodiog '
upon the parties as any other marriage. ThtJ
term U derived from the German
31orgCDgab,
which means dowry
It signifies s taatrimo-i
nial contract io which one of the parties is great?
superior in- rank to the other. If it be the bride
that is of inferior rank, she agrees that she and'
her children shall bo entitled neither to the rank
nor to" the estate of her husband, and that the
dowry wbfch is settled upon her at.the time of
the marriage shall be accepted iu Jiea of all other -
privileges. If the man be the iuferior he gifet
assent to similar conditions.. In the bridal cere
mony tho party of superior. rank gives the left
hand, instead of the right, to the otherwhence
hese marriages are sometimes styled "left .
anded." . ! , '
One of the most famous marriages of this class
was that of r rederu k vViuiam the j Third, or ,
Prussia, to the Countess Augusta, of Ilarrach, t
upon whom her husband conferred Qie rank of ,
Princess of leigniti a giarriage coorunlimatcd
in 1824, long after the death of the king's most. ,
legitimate spoils,' the 'beautiful Queen -Louisa.'
The princess of Letgnitz is still Hving4-a widow , t
since 18 10.' Another morganatic marriage was J
that of the late king of Denmark, Frederic the "j.
Seventh, who, after beiug divorced ;fronl two v
priucesses, married morgan atically a plain dress-
uiaker by the name of Itasmusson, with ' whom'
he lived happily till his death. lie first encoun
tered her under very singular circunistancc. It
is the custom of Copenhagen, when ei large fire
occurs, for ono of the princes to attend , and to'
take the command of the detachment of troops
whieh is always, called out to keep order while .f
the firemeu eudeuvor to extinguish the conns
gration. , J
Frederic, the crowned Prince, was rtnea per-'
forming his duty when his eye caught sight o&
a dressed wax figure in a window ofj a dress- '
maker's shop, in tha second story of a, burning,
building. In the hurry ant, excitemcjit of the '
moment he mistook1 this lay figure fon s living
person endeavoring to escape from the window.
Leaping from his horse he plunged ;into the
buildiug'nnd ascended the staircase. " On his
way through the rooms, he discovered the owner
of the dressmaking establishment, who was be
wildered in the smoke, and whom he conducted ' '
to a place of safety. Tjhis was the woman whom ' ;
he subsequently married, giving her the title of
Countess Dan ner, and settling upon her a large ;
dowry. She survived him only a year two. , '
Among the existing - members of princely, .
houses who have contracted this kind jof mar- :
riagemay-b ineutiooed . Prince 'Leopold, of '
SaxoiTy Prince Charles of liavaria, sndj Prince 1
Alexander of W ortemburg. . It is a son of tbt
last named, an ofispring of his morganatic mar
riage, who, under the name of Prince Teck,
married Queen Victorias - couain, the '
Princess 51 ary of Cambridge. , A singular in-
stance of a morganatic uuion is that ofj Prince "
Kdward of Saxe-Weimar, who is married in this -manner
to a daughter of the nreud Duke ef .
Richmond, while another English nobleman, the
Duke of Hamilton, wedded on terms of jpcrfect :
equality a princess of the grand ducal houso of
Haden, whose rank is certainly ns high as that .
of Prince 'Ed ward. ' I

' The Reason Why. ; T V; :
From Sack's Washington Letter to the Cincinnati
v',,;'. ' Enquirer. ji
L People mnst not misunderstand the motives of
Congress in refusing to grant a general amnesty,
and preferring to pass bills every now and then
giving pardons to specially named individuals.
This course is pursued for a purpose baser and
more viie than mere politics. Not slone that
they are thus enabled to drum up recruits for
the Republican party in the South, by. excluding
U "ho lean to the Democratic party from the
Drivileire of amiiestr. The chief ohiecti-ia te i
keeD otien the door for oorruntion and britarr.' 'l
A general amnesty would yield no money- in- J 1
dividual amnesties can be, and oiten are made a
source of revenue to the men who deal them out.
1 cannot say poniivkly that any member of" Cm
grcss n.is.ueen p.ua Uirctiiyior sceunng inn in -j
seruon oi a name iu an amnesty . dim, put I can
say that persoi.s have paid as hfgh as ?1Q0 for,.
that privilege. .The money is" paid to Ihe itv- '
Cucntial friends of Iauieal numbers of lbe He-'
construction Committee ; and I take it that tkia-
state bl ahairs is n t entiroly unknown to those
members. Men come here from the 'South to get
neir .aisauuuies rcmovca.
They .want Ube
