THE CONSTITUTIONALIST
THURSDAY. MARCH 18, 1875^
MARRIAGE AND LONGEVITY.
Mr. Hebbert Spencer, the noted phi
losopher, contends that marriage per ne
is not conducive to longevity, in spite
of the fact that the ratio of deaths in
the two classes stands at ten and twen
ty to four. Taking; the Darwinian
theory of natural selection, as a basis,
he argues that orJQr those disposed to
long life naturally are apt to marry,
aud hence the cause has been con
founded with the effect. The London
Medical Record sums up the theory of
the English philosopher thus : “ Mar- j
riage is regulated by the ability to
meet its responsibilities. The qualities
which give the advantage here are
inteliectual and bodily vigor, pru
dence and self-control; these, too, are
the qualities which determine a pro
longed life or a premature death. An
even more direct relation is to be
found in the insticts which lead most
strongly to marriage. The reproductive
instincts and emotions are strong in
proportion as the surplus vital energy
is great, and this in turn implies an
organization likely to last; “so that,
in fact, the superiority of physique,
which is accompanied by strength of
the instincts and emotions causing
marriage, is a superiority of physique
also conducive to longevity.” Another
influence tells in the same direction.
Marriage is determined by the prefer
ence of women as well as the desires of
men, and, other things being equal,
women are attracted towards men of
physical and intellectual power, re
fusing the malformed, diseased and ill
developed types. In the operation of
these three elements, Mr. Seencer finds
all that is needed to account for the
striking difference of longevity be
tween the classes, and declares that
figures given afford no proof that
marriage aud longevity are cause and
consequence ; but they simply verify
the inference which might be drawn a
priori —that marriage and longevity
are concomitant results of the same
cause.”
This is, in our opinion, ingenious so
phistry. We believe that the instincts
leading to marriage are common to the
weak as well as the strong, and some
times far more powerful in the former
than the latter. Besides, by some law
of nature, the robust woman frequent
ly prefers the delicate man aud just as
frequently the muscular man yearns
for the woman who is made of “ spirit,
fire and dew.” Nothing, we suppose, is
more notorious than the extraordinary
matrimonial propensities of those of
either sex who are afflicted with a ten
dency to tuberculous disease. For our
own part, we believe that there is a
moral reason why a proper marriage
does conduce per se to longevity, and
that is the restraint it usually puts
upon a man in just such matters as
rush the majority of the bachelor
world to premature decay and death.
The following paragraph in opposi
sition to Mr. Spencer we find floating
about without credit, and this, in our
opiaion, completely demolishes the so
cial science theorist, who proposes to
reconstruct everything on the basis of
Darwin and his primitive baboon :
People marry, full of faith and hope, as
well as of love, or mayhap without love
they marry, they can hardly say why,
thinking that all will be well, and that they
will get da somehow. And they do get on,
most of tljem, somehow, and worry through
life, taking their share of the joys and sor
rows of cfarrlago; often sorely tried, some
times almost despairing, but on the whole
and in the end better for it, with a part of
their moral nature developed, of which be
fore the;*’ marriage they had no conscious
ness. an I w r hich would surely have remain
ed in a tfrpid and rudimentary state. Ex
ception;-apart, there are very few married
men and women who will not confess that
marriage has made them better as well as
happier, all their trials.
This is of .o reason why the proportion of
the married among the insane is smaller
than that; of the unmarried. And so also
t he physicians know that, with all its phys
iital trials, married life is better for women
than unmarried. There is something in
the fitness of things to the ends for
which tley were created. What science
seems tel establish in one decade may be
set aside by science in another, but a
greater man than Herbert Spencer must
arise to eonvince the world that marriage
is not in all respects the best state for both
man andi women.
Of colrse, if all the principles of com
mon seise and common prudence are
many marriages may not and
very likely do not turn out so well as
they should. And it may be also ob
served that if modern marriages are
more prolific of evil than formerly, it
is mainly because latter day philoso
phers h ive degraded the nuptial bond
and taught men and women who are
husbands and wives a deadly doctrine
which makes them false to each other
and to God’s law, false to civilization
and a higher nature, and more nearly
allied to the Pagan than the Christian
world. True civilization is founded
upon the purity and sacredness of the
family tie. If that become degraded, in
a marked degree, it needs no Dar
winian theorist to predict ruin to society,
nor need any ghost come from hell or
heaven to tell us that the path of de
struction to the State and the indi
vidual is that which departs from vir
tue and leads to legalized vice.
Legislative.— We fear that Legisla
tive bodies are growing into the pro
portions of a nuisance in many States
of this blessed Union. The Philadel
phia Times describes the closing
scenes of the rowdy General Assembly
of Pennsylvania with the following
head lines :
Disgraceful Scenes in the House—The Body
Adjourned and then Recalled to Business —
The Gas Turned Off—Bills Declared Pass
ed Without Reading and Without a Quorum
—The Farcical Treasury Investigation—Fi
nal Adjournment on Thursday.
These be the things that make a Re
public disgusting and a dictator possi
ble.
Aborns. —All who were interested,
last Sunday, in the woes of Mrs. Aborns,
which were expressed with such mas
culine precision and mathematical ac
curacy, can find, on our first page, a
plea for the husband, which shows that
there is much to be said on both sides
of a question, and even that “ brute ”
the husband —has hif fine points and
•xsusm.
ALCORN.
Among the Senators who turned
“ about faco ” on the Pinchbagk resolu
tion was James L. Alcorn, of Missis
sippi, who is a turn-coat of the deepest
dye, and a mere time-server who would
shrink ftom no abasement in order to
hold fast to the flesh-pots of office.
Since the mulatto man, Bruce, has
become his colleague in the Senate,
Alcorn has again grown wondrous
sweet upon everything that savors of
negro equality with white men. In
point of fact, it is plain tiiat Bruce
watches Alcorn’s conduct with micro
scopic vision, and is determined that a
single lapse shall consign him to the
limbo of tricky politicians who are true
only to themselves. The master of
Jas. L. Alcorn is. therefore, one Bruce,
a mulatto from Mississippi, upon whom
charges are resting of having bribed
himself into the Senate by judicious
distribution of palm-grease to the
corrupt black and tan elements of the
General Assembly of his State.
A few days before the final vote upon
Pinchback was taken, Downing, the
saddle-colored oysterman, delivered a
lecture upon Sumner. The same trick
that was essayed unsuccessfully upon
Mr. Beecher, in tempting him to intro
duce the notorious Woodhull woman
to the public, was triumphantly essayed
upon Senator James L. .Alcorn. He
was selected to champion Downing, the
colored man, and Downing took especial
pains to identify him as one who had
imbibed the most extreme Radical
theories of the advanced philosophers
of Abolition and social equality. Down
ing, nominating Alcorn as Chairman
of the meeting, at which he lectured,
characterized him us “ a very distin
guished gentleman, a native of the
South, who had so thoroughly em-
I braced the views of Mr. Sumner, and
who became so devoted to the princi
ples he advocated, that of all others lie
seemed to cheer and revive the droop
ing spirits of the great Senator’s last
! efforts in the Senate by his most able
and earnest advocacy of the most com
plete endorsement of Charles Sumner,
by the adoption of a Civil Rights bill
| complete in its security of all rights for
; all citizens.”
We think it a mistake that Alcorn is
credited with being a native of the
South. Wo have heard that he was
born in a Western State and came to
Mississippi at an early age. Be this as
it may, he was a large owner of slaves
in 1860-61, and, as Colonel of a regi
ment of sixty-day volunteers, is report
ed to have marched to Bowling Green,
Ky., with the black flag as his colors,
which so disgusted Gen. Albert Syd
ney Johnson that he ordered the ban
dit banner to be hauled down, and ex
pressed very contemptuous opinions of
the man who had it borne as regimen
tal colors, all the way from Mississippi.
And now the Colonel of the black flag
regiment of sixty-day troops ap
pears as the disciple of Sumner,
the intimate of Downing and the
defender of Pinchback. It is just such
demagogues to whom the South owes
her degradation far more than to the
“ Yankees ” and carpet-baggers. Mr.
Alcorn’s fortunes appear to flourish
like a green bay tree, but soon may
wither like a gourd, and at the hand3
of his dear negroes too. He is playing
a desperate game, and dare not lose a
single trick. If he should make a sin
gle false move the negroes would spit
upon him, and when they abandon him
he has no where to go except among
persons as miserable as himself.
Hawley. —Gen. Joe Hawley, one of
the reform Republicans, who is run
ning for re-election to Congress in Con
necticut, in a recent speech thus spoke :
“Third term is a sensation originally got
up by the New York Herald to bother
the Republican party. Grant and the
Cabinet probably looked upon it in that
way. Considering that it was only an
effort to tease him, the President shut
his mouth —and he is au obstinate man.
If he has finally, however, by injudi
cious advice, been led to indulgo the
hope of a nomination—why, it is one
of the most hopeless of all things, if for
no other reason than that he would
assuredly be defeated. It is as fully
imbedded in the minds of the people as
if it were written in the Constitution
that no man shall serve more than two
terms. [Applause.] It is useless to
talk about it. I certainly should be op
posed to the nomination of any candi
date for a third term under any cir
cumstances. [Applause.] Even in case
of a war, it would be better for Grant
to be in the field than in the Presi
dency.”
Perhaps Grant has a different opinion.
But if his nomination by the Republi
cans would only bring to them defeat
and disaster, it seems to us that no
Southern Democrat should prevent a
consummation so devoutly to be
wished.
8.-T.—The opinions of eminent men
in New York upon the great Brooklyn
scandal were recently sought by a re
porter of the Herald. Here are some
of the samples:
Daniel Drew.— (Vacantly). Young man,
I can’t give you a single ‘ pint.’
Gus Williams.—De funniest dings vot I

’ear the story about ’Awkins ?
Mr. Delmonico.—(Shrugging his shoul

Col. Bob Alston says that Beecher
