A treaty had been projected with i France, ; one of the provisions of which regulated the-tariff on certain artides.,:. This opened the door for " tdd pig-iam.!"- , It let him - into fresh fields and past ures new where he eould revel in stores of Kellian learning of statistics, facts and dates. "The privileges of the House of Represettativej4 were -attacked by such a treaty, aid tlie liberties bf the country were in danger." This will afford "pig-iron" an opKrt unity to employ himself for the wlrile session and he will be busy. . 1 .There wa a gang of about twenty negro men passed through this tity a ,;few days ago on their way to locate in Indiana ! .The "Aid Committee'" here furnished them wifli assistance. The plan is to en ter these negroes in small quantities at a time, and from many different points, so that the importation will hot attract such i marked attention.! Many -of the Kansas cxbdusters have been diverted to Indiana, where Republican voters are badly wapted. . The Supreme Court is in session: ' now ' and there is -before it a social question of intense interest. A negro man married a white woman in this city where such mar-, riages are recognized by law. The couple ,went to Virginia, where su5h marriages are not recognized, and were indicted and con victed. This is the case before the Su preme Court.-' . The decision does not essarily involve the constitnatidnality. of ,Us iJs proljHitm etftelv marriages: at4 - the fjburt will probably confine themseh'es to the. fact that the parties were not mar ried in Virginia and wilt probably decide that tlie parties" had vested marital rights fh one State which could, not be divested or made criminal by' the laws of another State.- And just here I would like to ask why South Carolina, under its present gov eminent still tolerates such unnatural mis cegenation? If the Supreme Court decide aS above hinted," all that lscegenators in North Carolina would have to do would be to cr.oss the line, have the'marriage solemn ized and come back and defy the .law and public opinion'- "' ! j Speaking of-lawyers the profession has ' come to be almost a mere :mechanical trade. The old time lawyers ; were of necessity learned men. They had to apply to the original sources of the law; and to-reason down to their particular cases. Not so the lawyer of the present day. Every branch rand every subject of the law has been separately and distinctly treated in I cobious works, where every existing, -au thorityis carefully collated. The Congres-,-1 .sional law library here affords unequalled facilities. All that is necessary to ascer tain what the law is on any given point is to consult these treatises with care and in 1 dustry. ; Your; great lawyer is no longer your -great man ; he is merely, an industri ous and careful reader. A lawyer of or dinary capacity, here, with the aid-of this library can give reliable opinions to lawyers elsewhere who are naturally his superiors, butiwho have not the same facilities. : ; The Greenback party has ' some of its ; strongest advocates and ablest men in In diana. They are stronger there now than in any Other State, and declare that they will "hold on o their organization.. This party embraces there more Democrats than.
