lUKl.SQ FOR U/S WIFE,
The n.An who remarked that the
course of true love never runs smooth
had evidently looked over his hand
carefully, aa the (inker-players say.
lie knew what he was talking about.
We are reminded of the tribute that
should ta paid to the genius of the au
thor of tli* statement by a very roman
tic case n >w before the courts in Gaines
ville. Jt appears that a Mr. T. J>
Field, H/ne lime ago, looked upon a
Mies JuLan, of Gwinnett county, and,
behold, the was fair and lovely
Field's heart was immediately
pierced by one of the
missiles that Cupid not infrequently
launches from his Alabama sling.
Field succumbed. Love’s sweet dis
content overcame him, aa it were, and
his mind became a pasture wherein his
drtstns of love wandered and browsed
at leisure, feeding upon thoughts of the
fair girl until satiety grew into raven
ous hunger, lie worshipped at his
kiew-found shrine with an assiduity
■hat could not hut compel success. His
fcrdor won upon the young lady, bu
| »t ti|*o» bar remomelees papa. The
d gentleman had no more ro-
anre in hia naturo than a last year’s
rd'n-n* st, and he gave Field to under
and that the space he took up in
sting srourid the house courting
old tie made otherwise available. Ir.
tort, tbe papa gave tbe young man to
ideia'-and that he didn’t come up to his
eal of a son in law, and, furthermore,
at if he lingered around the ranche,
e climnte would become highly insa-
brioun. Field didn’t linger, but oue
ue morning when the rest of the fain
ir were absent, he mads a raid upon
I me Juhau domicil, carried tbe daru
i eel off, rnmruonel a convenient
justice of the peace, and the twain be
came one. Their new found jnv, how
ever, was short-lived. Wbi'e they
were at the house of a friend er joying
the a. rial delights of what is known in
the Gw rgia vernacular as an '‘infair,”
the paps waltsed dowu upon them ami,
in the current language of the day,
tcoofied his daughter in. lirwoa
•trances ou the part of friends, entrea
ties on the part of the frown, and
tears cn the part of the bride were
ail of no avail. The old man was inex
orahle. He carried nis dang!.ter off,
placed her in close confinement, and
thus oracticaily bade defiance
the scriptural injunction which says
that those whom God hath joined to
gather shall no man put asunder,
ft it her than make a row, the husband
quietly submitted, thinking that per
haps the anger of the old man would
soon he cooled and hia opposition cease;
bm Field was mistaken— badly
taken, lie toamed around without
his mate for days and weeks, hut the
old man’s vigilance was equal to the
occasion. All advances, all endeav
were in vain. Some one wren rather
lightly that "love laughs at locksmiths.*
This was probably in the olden time,
for Field has long since discovered that
love do an’l laugh when there
irate fat her-in law sunning him
the trout porch with a shot gun across
his knees, aad a brindle cur in the
hack yard that wouldn’t wag his tail
if he had one. Growing impatient the
disconsolate husband lias eued out a
habeas corpus for the purpose of
bringing the case before the courts.
The case was to have before Judge K ce
in Cham tiers one da* last week, hut
was positioned, and it is mere than
probable that it will finally he carried
to the supreme court. The defense
a*ys Mrs. Field ia a minor, being only
seventeen years old; that she married
without lbs consent of her parents,
aad that the marriage ia void, for tl*-t
the license issued from the court of
ordinary waa issu'd neither by ti c or
dinary nor a aworn deputy. Ad this
the much-injured plaintiff admits is
true, hut ha claims lliat the aa of the
ordinary in recording the marriage
and litwnae gives legality to the cere
mony, aud ha cairns that the minority
of bis wife has nothing what
ever to do with the question of legal
ity. The Gainesville Georgian
allndmg to this aaye a feature of the
case ia lliat if these parties are not
; country
t>. bj I concerned —the property ol the peo-
pie—the value of silver has not raised
a hair’s bread!h sinoe the day it was
worth more than gold, and we main
tain that as soon as remonetisation
takes p’ace, gold will drop down to its
normal value, and silver will take the
place it held in our currency for eighty
years. ’I he gold organs say that their
favorite metal is the standard of values.
If so, it is a very pretty standard, that
fluctuates and varies in the markets
of the world every day. The organs,
if they believed their own assertions,
ought to quote the price of greenbacks,
instead of the price of gold, hot with
an inconsistency that ought to aston
ish themseivea, if no one alas, they s«y
day by day that gold ia worth 102. 103
or 110 aa the case may he. In this in
stance their inconsistency is creditable,
to aay the least, for they know that the
value of the greenback is based on the
public credit—on the confidence of the
people in their government—and they
know moreover that to eav the green
b*ck is worth ao-and-to in gold,ina’ead
of saying*hatg>!d is wirthao aad-so in
greenbacks,would he absurd. It ia to
he regretted that the instinct which
Mines them to quote the fi actuations
f their "standard” of value does not
come to their aid v hen they and their
followers engage in the senseless and
ilirgraceful crusade against silver.
ADRlASOPLE.
Whether the Tu rka evacuated Adri
anople because it was untenable or
tiecauae of the Russian demands,
not now an essential question. The
Turks dejiarted r.nd tbe Russians are
full pcr»*o««ion of the city whe*e
Frederick Ihibirowa once concluded
treaty with the Greeks. Its prox
imity to Constantinople, and the fact
that it holds the d«*I.-?atcs that are em-
{towt*r<*d to end tbe war, tnakea it the
scene of deepest interest at present in
the east.
The city is situated at the confluence
>f three important rivers, tbe Mari's*,
the Tuudja aud the Arda. It la 132
uhImh northwest of Constantinople,
miles southeast of Thill pop *lis, and 72
ini tee from the nearest summit of the
Rilkan range. La population baa h«*en
uisly CHtwna'ed at from IW00Q to
140,(Kk) inhabitants. According to the
moat trustworthy accounts, about half
of these are Turks, 30,000 Bulgarians,
and Greeks, and the remainder Jaws
and Armenians. The first view of the
city ia described by Von Moltke aa bs-
ing wonderfully beautiful, tbe whi •
mioaietsand tbe lead-roofed cupolas of
themoiqtH , iq bulbs aud caravanserais
rising in countless numbers above the
codlesM maa* ( f fl*t ink f« and the broad

were even more demoraliz-d then than
now, and were so ax xious bra termiu-
ation of tlie war that a trea:y of peace
waa signed at Adrianople ou the 14 b
of 8*q»umher. By thi.- treaty Russia
obtaine«l large acoessieua of territory
io Asia and Euroje, including tlie
l»clta of the Danube; Moldavia and
Wa lachia, which together now form
and Waite of Connecticut. The two
latter were absent, but Butler dodged
Tbe clerk called his name twice, and
each time Ben declined to vote. Sam
Cox and Geo rye W. Patterson were the
only two New Yorkers who voted for
the hill. Messrs. Clyrner, Mackey,
Wright, Turney, Campbell and Rtyne
are the only Pennsylvanians recorded
in the affirmative. Mr. Kelley waa
absent. Every Ohio representative is
recorded. Messrs. Sayier, banning,
Gardner, dice, McMahon, Dickey,
Neal, Ewing, Sautbard, Finley and
Van Vorhees voted in the affirmative.
Mf-aars. Cox, Garfield and Townsend
voted in the negative. Alabama, Mis
sissippi. Kentucky, | Indiana, Texas,
Kansas, West Virginia
Nebraska and Colorado were solid in
the affirmative. Maine, New Hamp
shire, Vermont, Rhode Island, Minne
sota, Oregon and Nevada were solid in
the negative. Every democrat from
the south voted aye, while every re
publican from that section, except Mr.
Leonard of Louisiana, voted no. A
comparison of the vote to-day with
those on tne silver bill and on the re
peal of the resumption act, shows that
in every instance tue lines were clearly
defined between the greenbackers and
the coin men with two notab’e excep
tiona. Mr. Errett, of Pennsylvania,
who has been recognized aa a green
back er, voted against them to-day;
while Mr. Schleicher, of Tezwa, a hard
money man, voted for Mr. Southard’i
bill.
“/A SELF DEFENCE."
"Under these circums'ances,” says
the New York Trihuue, alluding to the
movement in favor of the remouetixa
tiou of silver, “it would be exceeding
ly unwiee for New York bankers to de
fer unnecessarily any steps necessary
for self-defence.” This is in tbe na
ture of a confts'ion. New York bank
era must not Gelay in their prepara
tions for ee f defence. 1 he contraction
of the currency, the scarcity of money,
the lack of confidence—(not in :
but iu the future of investments)—the
shrinkage in values, all contribute to
the gains of those who accumulate
steal of producing. If the signs of tlie
times are not monstrously deceitful
the "New York hankers” have need
to follow the adv.ee of the Tribune.

The poet E. C. btetiman lost about
$10,000 through the frauds of Bmue
& Co. Mr. fctedman ia a member of
the atc.ck exchange, and borrowed
funds from Banner, who was an old
newspaper acquaintance, giving col
lateral securities largely in excess of
the money advanced. Banner hyp th
ecated these bonds or stocks, and
.Stedman lost the difference. There is
considerab’eaympathy expressed, even
in Wail street, for the unfortunate
poet.
The senatorial elections of 187S have
been held —five in number. Mr
Allison, a republican and silver mrn
hue been re-elected in Iowa, while
Calif--raia, Ohio, Kentucky ‘aud Mary
land have elected democrats— a gain oi

and one rvpublican have succeeded
two democrats and three republicans.
The elections of next winter will com

It is now slated that Airs. Lord and

It : s now stated that Messrs. Hill,
aine, aud some of the other gold
tampions have concluded to defer
their remarks until the silver bill is
taken up. They are prudent men. I«
always best to fall back and fortify
in tlie face of a speech like Mr. Vojr
hees’d.
“The Atlasta Constitution.” re
marks the Rime Tribune, "calls for
R-lief or Repudiation.” The Tribune
should be more exact in i's construc
tion of the remarks of iis contempora
ries. We demand relief for the people
in the shape of ttie remonetization ol
tbe silver dollar which unconstitutional
and surreptitious legislation has strip
I»ed from our currency, and we try
that if this relief is not speedily L
coming, the pe« p e, plundered and
outraged by the money power, will
in their might and rc ptidiale the debt
which has enabled tba bondholders to
become the oppressor# of all classes of
bu*ineea. We did not call for repudia
tion—we merely predicted it. In tbe
meantime, we advise the edi'or of the
Tribune to (amiliariza himself with *he
history of our bond legislation since
1865.
The editor ol tbe Rune Tribune
seems to be opposed to the r« mone* : z«

JUMBLE.
Washington, Jauuarv 23 —T *e fal
lowing is a summary of the spat be
tween Maine and Massachusetts in the
senate vesterdaj:
At the expiration of the morning
hour, the Rta'ue of William King, con
tributed by Maine to tlie natioral stat
uary, was accepted, and Messrs. Ham
lin and B : aine made addresses. Mr.
Blaine alluded to the remuks of his
colleague as to William King having
taen chosen by Maine for the distin
guished honor of her first representa
tive in the nations! gallery, because,
first of all, he was influenced iu erecting
the district of Maiue into a free and iu-
dependent state, and taid: The con
nection of the district with Mas**chu«
•etts had become exceedingly distaste*
ul - I might say, intolerable—to a rna
jority of our people, and a sentiment
amounting well nigh to rancor and
hatred could be sat'efied witn nothing
fees than separation. This dislike,
which waa mutual, and had been grow
ing for years, wss strorgly inflamed
‘ y tbe war of 1812 and the resulting
_ »litical difforeuces. Massacliusutts
was deeply hostile to war, und dia all
n her power to embarrass its prosecu-
mn. Marne stood firmly by the ad-
i in's*ration of Madison in upholding
the honor of the fl rg. The majority of
her people regarded the •attitude of
Matsichusetts toward the general gov*
enum n', (luring that struggle, as thor
oughly unpatriotic if not treasonable.
Partiiipaucy in the HaTtfo d conven
tion, orany sympathy with ilsaims.was
ooliticM dea'h and well-nkh social os
tracism to ary man in Maine The
contrary spirit prevailed in Massachu
setts, and the venerable Wm. W
Ridgeway, who represented the 5Iaine
district in congress, and voted for the
dec aration of war against Great Bri
in, was seriously threatened with
b violence as he passed through
Maumcliuscvts on his way homeward.'’
Mr. B’aine continued at some length
a similar strain, and concluded as
Bows: “Through all these trying
troubles and scenes, in which it was
necessary to control the public senti
ment of two pecples, it wss difficult to
slate—it is quite impossible to over
ate the sagacity, ability, addrpsi. th'
I'ce, in a word the leader ship of Wil
lmm King. Maiue followed him with
implicit faith, and Mssischuselts came
finally tu dread him af * r she had
hated’ him. Irfluencing the two popu
lations wi:h equal skill, governing one
through love and the other through
fear, he became finally c .uiplete master
of the situation, and finally attained
the cud f r which he had labored for
many years with patient fi lelity,
i*h commanding ability and with
consummate tact.”
Mr. Dawes —Mr. President, before
the senate pisses the resolution, it is
possible that some word; from Massa
chusetts may be pardoned. I know
that it is au intrusion to take the atten-
ion of the senate outside of the
rangemen's of the senators fiom
Maiue on this question; but l do feel
that it is not onty proper, but it is my
July, poorly as 1 may be able, to dis
charge that duty—to express, in the
name of Massachuset s, my great re-
giet that the eminent virtues and dis
tinguished character of the first gov
ernor of Mriue could not have been
pre-id on the records of the senate and
he evidences of that character aud the
estimate in which he was held by ali
ho knew him, gathered as well from
tbe records of Massachusetts as from
those < f Maine, presented heir without
alt*iiip'irg to rake up the embers of
already expired aud buried political an
imosity, that Ma» sichusetts, as well as
Maine, regrets, and that Massachusetts
has dune quite as much as Maine to
Illiterate. I would not abate one jot
of all that has been Raid by the senators
Irorn Maiue iu respect to the distin
guished first governor of that state,
unce a ciizn of my own state; but I
regrot to day there canuot be found iu
Maine any one who cann *t read the
istory of the times in which he per
formed so prominent a part, except
through the prejudices and bil'erncss
and li j ujiice ol the party animus
er luat disunguisl ed those days,

with the eulogies which the senators
f om the state of Maine have uttered in
regard to the distinguish, d public
character whose statute she has placed
iu the old hall of the house of represent
ititiv^s- Mr. Presid ut, the state of
Massachusetts does not desire to wipe
out her history from tbe anna’s of the
American people, or to rcreen any por
tion cf it from the judgment or knowl
edge of mankind. L ke other generous
and heroic natures,great in virtue,great
in courage, gre at in tbe largest benefac
tions to human kind, she is great
enough to have her faults and her fail
ioga known and to acknowledge 'hem.
Ii is true that there are s >me tnir ga in
the utterances of some of her leaders
during ihe w ar of 1812 which she re-gretn
to-day,and which sh<»u d be regretted.
What states would not like to wipe out
something of their history ? I regret
that the senator from Maine should
have been so disturbed by some re*
cant
Mr. Blaine -Mi. President, I do not
understand either senator from Massa
chusetts to dispute the exact and lit
eral truths of the statements 1 felt
called oj to make iu retiring britli
.he history of G av. King.
Mr. Dtwee -1 stated mat I did.
Mr. B trine—1 thought the senator
said he did not want mem now
Mr. D we?-I sta'ed that doubtless
lie senator Irotu Maine could p ca out

relations between Massachusetts and
Maine isolated instances atd isolated

much more a taste for than that which
__ abounded in all their history ot
generous at d high-toned fellowshi..
Mr. B.aine Then 1 have merely to
say, Mr. President, that every siate
meat,every quotation, every fact, every
incident in relation to G jv King which
I stated, is upon MiSiacbuaettft au-
horiiy; and to have given anything
like a’eketch cf Gov. King’s life with

to have the last controversy upon
point of this kind upon au occasion
such *s thi* ; hot I thought it came
with rather ii« grace if cm tne senator
from Massachusetts (Mr. Hoar) to
taunt me with trying t» ingratiate my-
re if with a oTurin c asb of senators,
he h*s himself been a great apos
tle cf modern reeoccitatnn, hankering
ior an embrace, aad representing the
idea of a certfcin political power else
where that every possible thin? should
be dote to aoucit Uvor in that direc
tion. I have tot myself been classed
exact.y in that line, End I do not think
that I am the one whe would step very
lar forward to create sm lea ou their
fai r*. Maine di i not make an unpa
ir? ,?> n.f.ord, !i MaawJ.neetta made
it, it is not the fault of the historian
or the speaker who recalls it.
Mr. Dawes—Will the senator tell ns
when Massachusetts, as a state, ever
made an unpatriotic record, either in
t iie war of 1812 or in the older war of
the revolution, or in any other war
w hich may have followed ? There
have b ren individuals in Massachusetts
- so there have been iu Maine—who
have not been patriots; but if Massa-
luis?tts ever made an unpatriotic
kc^rd, the senator from Maine, when
he charges it, should tell us wheu and
where.
Mr. Blaine—I will tell you—I will tell
you, now and here Massachusetts
r. fused to pass and tabled a resolution
thanking one of her own naval officer*
a victory because it was gained in an
unjust war. She refused to thank the
admirable and gallant commander of
the Hornet for capturing the British
man-of-war Peacock. That stands in
our own legislative j mri.als. If you
want the record, I can give you more,
graver intUures uulil the 6UUftets, and
for a senator from Massachusetts to rise
hern and pretend that his stale did not
brittle all over with unj>atriotic re- orris,
going clear up to the verge of treason,
and iu the opinion of some patriots ot
ihat day, stepping one point beyond, it
is a degree of bravery which it would
have been well to have shown in war,
and not resened to this day. (Great
laughter, and a voice on the deniocialic
side. “This <s rich.”)
Mr. Dawes—Mr. President, the extent
of the offence which the senator from
Maiue can bring against Massachusetts
in the war of 1812, was that she lacked
a disposition to publicly return thanks
Mr. Blaine - No; stop right there one
moment. Massachusetts refused to let
her soldiers march beyond the bound
aries of her own state, and refused
pointedly to the general government to
to resjHtud to a c*ril for her troops.
Mr. Dawes defended the stale, and
said: Massachusetts was opposed to
(he war of 1812 Her position then she
is not attained if, and she does not
undertake to belie history; but, sir,
with exteplions here and there, like
fcvery other state in this union, under
like circumataices, she was true to the
imion, and her gallant soldiers and sat*
iors laid dow n their lives in her defense.
Sir, it was not the war i f 1S12 that
troubled the senator from Maine, iu de
livering his eulogy upon William Kicg
That was not it. There was another
trouble, and it was atroub e which the
senator from Maine ought to have f *r
gotten. It w as the feeling between the
distinguished men in Maine and tbe
distinguished men in Ma aachusetts,
growing out of a discussion f *r years o .
i he question cf separation, that bred
til-nature and injustice, and intemper
ate ei*e*ch, and it was the last thing
that Ma.i-aehufcetis expecied when tbe
senatoi s from Maine were to present the
statue of her first goveinor, who when
part of M issachuaeita, was
honored and esteemed quite os much
by her pjopie aa by those of Maine. Jt
was tlie last thing that Massachusetts
xpeeled on such nn occasion that the
burden «i %he presentation on the pari
of (be senator from Maine (Mr. B!ainej
should be a raking up of all that in
temperate speech, aud quite as much
will Massachusetts be surprised as
Maine will be surprised that he at
tempts to justify it by holding up the
couise of M> ssachusetts in the last war
with Great Britaiu.”
Mr. B aine difcus3ed the relations
between Maine and Massachusetts re
gaiding the European and North
American railway, and then referred
to ti e Ashburton treaty cf 1873, say
ing Maiue was the victim of that trea
ty. He continued: "1 sty to the sen
ator from Massac'ausetts -aa I say to
the whole country—that if the Ash
burton treaty were to be tried over
again, it would never go through tta
senate of the United States. Navei!
It would never be assen'ed to by the
state ol Maine, except under a com
pulsion that was moral at that time,
which would have to be physical if
tried again. Sj that we owe to Mass
achusetts at that day a loss of territory
*pd a reduction ot our prestige and
power, which nothing ever since has
made up to us in auy torm except that
most geueroiis conditional gift _ of
our almost hopeless claim—a Maine
railroad-it we could tag it through
congress. [Liughier.]
Mr Hoar—Mr. President, the sena
tor from Maine saw tit to allude to tne
as a person prepared to do every possi
ble thing, to use his phrase, "to brirg
about conciliation between the tw
sec.ions of this country that have here
tofore been iu c<*nU c .” The senator
does me groat injus ice. There area
great many things I never iiave pro
posed to do, even for that most desira
ble consummation. I never have pro*-
posed anywhere to abandon or forego
the exercise of a sing'e constitutional
authority for the protection of any
mail’s rightb under the constitution of
this country. . ,
It is true ihat if after eight years of
the a'lwmietratiou • i President Grant,
durii g most of which our party had a
two-thirds m j »rity in each branch of
congress afte? the ku-klux legislation,
mteuded to protect the homesteads of
the free, h d made its way through the
liouse of representatives against the
plottings from the speaker’s chair.
Mr. Blam i — What date does the sen
ator refer to 7 ...
Mr. Hoar—I refer to the ku-klux
lrg b ation of the year 1871, wheu the
senator held us against a dozen resolu
tions ,of adj mrnmeut, and finally a
message from President Grant, com
>elled the passage ol the ku-klux legis
aiion. .
Mr. B aine-1 have no very distinct
recollection, except that the eenator
from Massachusetts, then a representa
tive in the house, kept in very close
and confidential intercourse with tne
every step of tue whole proceedings in
regard to it. I remember
Mr. lloar-Not in any step of that
kind, and my votes and speeches show
the position that I took. I have noi
thought it expedient, when all the
states but one have passed from the
control of the republican party, tocon-
nue mere empty menace in the in
res’, of any personal amb.tion or can
didacies for high office. Mr. President ,
tnere h another p> sable thing which 1
should not be ready to do to accomplish
any political end, however desirable,
and that is to have mode such a speech,
appealir g to the bentiments, and to
such p*s?ion as the senator from Maine
took occasion to make upon this flx*r
in presenting the statue of its honored
lie knew that the applaue*
and tmileb aad at quiesce?-ce which he
was to obtain from his attack on Massa
chu.-:ette, he was to get from men wh»
din tike her, not inconsequence of any
want of patriotism in the war o: J812,
but in consequence ol her recent loyalty
and her service to the freedom ol the
human race on one side aud an honest
and pure administration of this govern
ment on the o her. Now, for the sake
of bringing about any political consum-
m&tion.I fcuould not feel prepared to do
a thing like that.
day, notwithstanding the eenator had
told me that he would make allusion
to Massachusetts.
The resol utio.i offered by Mr. Ilam-
liu, accepting the statue, was then
agreed to, and the sena'e went into ex
ecutive session, and when the doors
were re-opened, adjourned.

Mr. B.aine-One word simply. The
senior r-enator from Massachusetts (Mr.
Dawes) speke of tbe great surprise he
lelt at my remarks. I took occasion
yes ©relay to notify both seuatore that
m the presentation of Governor King’s

to take ti.e gentlemen in the least by
surprise ; I give them full notice.
Mr. Dawes—it is due to the senator
from Maine to aay that he «erved feucb
notice as that on both tbe senators
from Massachusetts, but we did not
dream that the senator from Maine waft
ca; abl • on an occasion like this of fall
ing into the line of remark which he did
pursue. He sought the records oi
Massachusetts most diligently to find
what there was possible in the treat
ment of Maine, or of the diatinguished
p-ifon in question, to justify auy allu
h;on to Mass chueetta otherwise than
in the feeiing which Massachusetts
attributed to her daughter, and there-
