WEDNESDAY, MARCH 17*4875.
——
ELOPEMENT. f|
How many elopements and Clandes
tine marriages ever end happiEß.-' If 0 '
many, we dare say. Occasionallj* a
woman may be justified in defying qi
evading parental cruelty, but it is a
rare thing indeed that the result proves
the disobedient daughter to have been
wiser than father or mother in impet
uously selecting a companion for life.
Just now, we nave taken up two of our
exchanges which call attention toi this
matter, and thej may “point a moral
and adorn a taie.” Here, for instance,
is a paragraph in the New Orleans
Times: ...
KUNAWAY MATCH AND MIDNIGHT MARRIAGE.
At half-past 11 o’clock last night prepara
tions were on foot by a party’ of well known,
gentlemen to facilitate the elopement and
marriage of the daughter of a well known
merchant of the city, and a gentleman not
altogether unconnected 1 with the cotton,
business. The license, carriages and minis*
ter had all been secured, and were on the
eve of starting for the expectant bride’s
residence, when our informant having
finished a late supper, left the restaurant
wherein the arrangements were discussed.
He made no attempt to ascertain the names
of the parties, nor would the Times have
published them, had he succeeded. It is
hoped that the affair, so long as it went this
far, experienced no contretemps, and that
the Times may this morning tender the
youthful eouple its hearty congratulations.
A charming presentation truly of all
the accessories of a dramatic enter
tainment! A party of conspirators, at
a restaurant, eating and drinking be
times, while the peace of parents is
plotted against. What the issue of
their scheme was, we have yet to
learn ; but it is decidedly refreshing to
know that a tipsy reporter stands
ready, as a high-toned moralist and
public censor, to congratulate a man
upon stealing the child of a neighbor,
and felicitating a foolish girl upon es
caping from her father’s roof to bit
terly bewail, afterward, the treachery
of a man who has been false to his own
gentility.
Right hero we allow the Cincinnati
Gazette to speak further for us, on this
subject, by detailing a Kentucky ro
mance and its sequel, with appropriate
reflections upon the same :
Runaway matches may not be inexcusa
ble in all cases, yet with their ordinary
concomitants of haste [and disobedience
they are risky’. Those who nave been
through the process generally regret that
they have not been more patient and less
precipitate, and are by no means desirous
that their children should follow their ex
ample. That old Tory’, Lord Eldon, when
plain Mr. Scott, ventured on an elopement,
but when his son came of age, held him by
so tight a string that the young man fell
into bad ways and died, broken down, du
ring the lifetime of his father.
The noble lord passed from one extreme
to the other, and is not deserving of imita
tion in either ease. Yet there is a golden
mean that must approve itself to ail com
siderate persons. No man would like to
have a liar for his wife; y T et this unpleasant
appellation must be bestowed ou those
young women who keep several suitors at
tached to them by promises that must be
broken to all but one. Then, too, a man
wants to respect his wife. It is hard to
see how this sentiment can exist where a
girl deliberately deceives her parents,
climbs out of a window, or steals through
a back door, and undergoes more than
one risk from which every sensible, not
to say pure-minded, woman would shrink.
The folly of what may be called the Ken
tucky matrimonial system is just being ex
emplified in the Louisville Chancery Court.
Mrs. Belle Oldham wants a divorce from
her husband, to whom she w r as clandes
tinely married in February, 1874. She was
then, eighteen, old enough to have common
sense, if she was ever to acquire that im
portant endowment, and was living com
fortably, almost luxuriously, with her wid
owed mother. Yet she was persuaded to
leave mother and home, and go to Indiana,
where, by his false representations, a li
cense was procured. His engagements
were not kept, for he has provided her
only with a mean abode, in a dis
reputable locality; has treated her bru
tally, and has not furnished her with the
necessities of life. Sho has been compell
ed to apply to her mother for protection
and support; hence this petition. As tho
evidence is not before us in detail, we can
not say how deep are the grievances which
the unhappy woman has beea called upon
to endure. Yet, she alleges no criminal
acts on his part, except in getting a license
fraudulently’, and to this she must have
been privy in some degree. No doubt she
has found herself the loser by her rash step,
yet marriage is too solemn a compact to be
nullified except for the gravest causes, and
such are not Had they existed
they probably would have been mentioned.
As the case now appears, few tribunals
would accord a release from the nuptial
bond. One may sympathize deeply with
woes, even if they are the result of folly,
still, no woman of thought or judgment
could anticipate any other result than has
occurred, where disobedience and trickery
were the means adopted to evade parental
caution and the wise mandates of the law.
The safest plan is for daughters to
confide everything to their mothers,
and mothers to inspire such confidence
and be worthy of it. Ninety-nine hun
dredths of men intensely desire the
happiness and welfare of their chil
dren, and would make any reasonable
sacrifice to further their schemes of
bliss. What folly, then, for a girl, in a
whirl of excitement, to pit her passion
against the wisdom and experience of
her natural guardians ? It happens,
alas ! too often that the women who
elope are those who have least to com
plain of at home, except too much in
dulgence, and it usually turns out that
a secret and hasty marriage very ra
pidly brings to a pair of enamored fools
disgust, repentance and despair.
Pinchback.— The Nashville Union and
American says: “We must take it all
back. Hi3 name is not Percy Bysshk
Shelley, but Pinckney Bolton Stew
ard Pinchback. He was never a slave,
nor his mother before him, and there
fore was never lost on a hand of three
sixes nor won by two pair of deuces.
His father, plain John Pinchback, had
fifteen children by his dusky mother,
Mrs. Steward, of whom Pinckney and
Napoleon Bonaparte were educated at
a Cincinnati high school, where a sis
ter of theirs still lives. Such is the
“true version, - ’ as given by a corre
spondent of the Cincinnati Commer
cial”
Arkansas.— The President has di
rected ail Government departments to
recognize the Garland Government in
all its relations with those departments.
PROSPECTING THE SPHINX.
The Baltimore Gazette, in a very able
article, excludes that though the
Democracy*; received a eheck jn New
President Grant rwas |nbe
Teeiglent <if a <|aeided sl#p iu|the fsj|e,
*incjjthe c§jth<i|Gra#,e
Stale had, : tn ttoffir platfokn, ddfiouneed
the third term. Our Baltimore con
temporary also admits that Grant will
not yield at once to this premonition of
defeat, and then adds : “ The moment
vtetflry is despaired of, he will break
with his party and denounce them -as
ingrates aod cowards, just as he did
whep the Arkansas resolution passed,
and the Force bill failed. Then, wc ask
our jubilant Republican friends, his
soldiers withdrawn, being no longer
needed for his own purposes in the
Southern States, and they gravitating
tq democracy, what becomes of the
chances of' a Radical victory in 1876 ?
With Grant and a third term, they
confess they are beaten. With Grant,
angry and revengeful as they very well
know is his nature, against them, no
one can doubt they will be beaten.”
According to the Gazette, therefore, if
Grant should force a nomination, he
will be beaten by a solid Democratic
vote, and the sullen apathy or open
hostility of the Blaine-Wilson wing of
the party ; and, in case Grant should
fail of a nomination, he will turn about
and compass the destructipn of the
Blainf. and Wilson faction.
Admitting the sagacity of the Ga
zette's argument, the people of the
South must perceive the wisdom of
masterly inactivity on their part, in
order to encourage this promised
breach in the Republican ranks. A
prominent effort on our part, to dictate
a policy or get ahead of the music, will
only end in patching up a truce be
tween the rival factions of Radicalism
and make our campaign in 1876 all
the more difficult and problematical.
We should reflect that, no matter
what Grant may have done in the past,
he has within him possibilities of
friendship for the future, w’hich grow
out of his ambition or the necessities of
the case. If the points made by the
Gazette are correct, instead of the
South’s trying to prevent the White
House Sphinx from securing a third
term nomination, we should aid him at
least by silence. It is not a little sin
gular that just as the Democratic Ga
zette writes in the fashion above indi
cated, that ultra rabid Radical sheet,
Harper's Weekly, turns its batteries
upon Grant, and foreshadows a grand
movement of the Republican party to
get rid of the third term incubus.
Here is the Democratic opportunity of
triumph, in a divided opposition. The
South should watch the game with at
tention, but, by no means, make a re
conciliation possible through foolish
ness in speech or action.
CRIME IN NEW YORK.
The New York Express has an ad
mirable condensation of the first annual
report of the Board of Justices,
embracing the time between November
12th, 1873, and October 31, 1874 ; and
from this record we get a very excel
lent idea of the detected crime that
stalks gigantically abroad in the
Northern metropolis.
Before the Police Courts of New
York city, during the time above speci
fied, 84,821 prisoners were arraigned,
of whom 60,213 were males and 24,608
females. Of this host of criminals,
35,565 were discharged, either on ac
count of police blunders or failure of
parties aggrieved to prosecute. Elim
inating the element discharged, the
startling truth is revealed that of the
49,257 held to answer, 16,345 were
females, the larger number of whom
were arrested for crimes against tempe
rance and decency. To the fell spirit
of intoxication must be attributed more
than half the causes of sin and pun
ishment, the list of. “ drunk and disor
derly ” being 27,208 males and 13,574
females. This statement only includes
those drunkards who “ violated public
decency,” and does not embrace the
thousands who get drunk and contrive
to keep free from a row and out of the
gutter.
It is shown that 71 per cent, of crime
in New York city can be directly traced
to the abuse of spirituous liquors.
Confronted with such a fact, well may
the moralist exclaim, as Cassio did,
when repentant:
“ O thou insidious spirit of wine!
If thou hast no other name on earth, let’s
call thee Deoil!''
Defalcation.— The New Orleans pa
pers are filled with defalcations by
clerks. One man has swindled his
employer out of $12,000 ; another has
been proved “ desperately short ” $lB,-
000; and still another is a rogue to the
tune of SIO,OOO. Gambling and fast
women are supposed to have absorbed
those funds. Commercial honor in all
parts of the country seems to have be
come a rarity.
Sam Ward. —The King of the Lobby,
who is a very accomplished man and
makes all his money by giving good
dinners to Congressmen, sent up to the
retiring Speaker Blaine’s desk a large
morocco case, containing a massive
silver tankard of the old English pat
tern, inscribed thus:
JACOBO O. BLAINE.
Person® populi, gerentium mod
erator! ter desiguato, virtutis, sapi
entiseque expert® viro. D. D. D.
S. W., Yestibuli Bex.
CALENDIS MALiTII, 1875.
The last heard of Sam he was writing
poetry and regretting that Congress
was too big to manage.
Life Association of America. — St.
Louie, March 13.—Agustus H. Weber,
Jacob F. Shiefer aud Joseph Clough
policy-holders in the Life Association
of America, filed in the State Insurance
Department an application for exami
nation of the affairs of that company.
They allege that the annual statement
of the company, filed on the sth inst.,
is incorrect in several important par
ticulars ; that the company is not near
so strong as represented ; in fact, that
it is not doing business enough to pay
expenses ; that it has lost the confi
dence of the people and is hopelessly
insolvent, and ask that a receiver be
appointed.
