‘ AUGUSTA. Q-A,
SUNDAY MORNING, JUNE 6, 1869
THE ECUMENICAL COUNCIL.
The Ecumenical Council, called by the
Pope, will be of considerable importance to
the religious universe. It seems that the
Sovereign Pontiff has addressed invitations
to all Representative Christian bodies to
send delegates, and, in several cases, there
have been favorable responses from certain
communions long outside the pale of the
Church of Rome. We learn that a move
ment is on foot to consolidate the Greek
and Armenian Churches with the Church
of Rome, and this consolidation is expected
to take place formally during the session
of the Council. The Protestant Congress
of Germany refused to attend, and the
Presbyterian Assemblies on this side of the
water arc reported as ready to take a like
negative action. What the powerful Ritu
alistic bodies will do, we have not been
able to ascertain. There seems to be, no
doubt, that great changes are taking
place in the religious world, and, in
view of this fact, both Catholics and
Protestants look forward to the approach
ing Ecumenical Council with an in
'terest beyond tiiat ordinarily manifested
for gatherings of a similar character. As
religion has, even in this country, been a
tremendous leverage in political matters,
it .may not be amiss for intelligent
observers, lay as well as clerical, to study
this new movement and watch for its
results. Some Protestants think that the
Pope will take occasion to defeat and anni
hilate the opposition of Victor Emmanuel
by recommending a United Italy under a
Republican form of government, with a
Presidency vested in himself and his suc
cessors. We should think, however, that
theological discussions will be solely in
order, and that the prime movement has no
other object than an attempt at gathering
back to the Catholic fold such of the sheep
as have strayed away or the welcoming of
others who want encouragement to change
their shepherds.
This, at least, seems to lie the conclusion
of the liberal-minded of all creeds. We
trust the world generally will be benefited
by the convocation. Further than this,
we are not called upon to proceed. Our
civic rulers have failed to furnish the de
sired peace; let us trust that our religious
directors of all sects will evolve something,
even out of their sincere differences of
opinion, which will wake the world to a
higher charity and brotherly affection.
There is an inviting field open for the good
ministers of all denominations,and though
it is but natural that honest divergences
of .faith should exist, there is no reason
why a combined effort might not be made
by all pastors to check the rising tide of
hatred which is fast overwhelming the
gentle spirit of love, both within and with
out the walls of the city cathedral and the
country church.
“ Disjointed Thinking.”—The late Dr.
Rush, of Philadelphia, left $1,000,000 to be
devoted to a public library, on condition
that too much space should not be devoted
to the daily press, “ those teachers of dis
jointed thinking.” The Journal of Com
merce, thus pleasantly comments upon the
Doctor’s precept:
“We regret that the Doctor had not
tried own fastidious hand upon the
composition of editorials, amid the heat
and clatter of a busy newspaper office, in
order that he might have shown for all
time the pattern of a leader in which the
logical joints should move with the perfect
play of a wired skeleton, such as the Doc
tor’s skill in the higher walks of his pro
fession could have easily prepared.
“‘Disjointed thinking’ may be the fault
of a great many newspapers, as it is of a
great many of the most ponderous of quar
terlies and the most gigantic of folios in
the most learned of tongues. Very aggra
vated specimens of ‘disjointed thinking’
will probably find their way into the Phila
delphia Library, notwithstanding the dili
gent endeavors of the trustees, under the
Doctor’s will, to exclude it. Bar it out in
the shape ot newspapers and it will creep
in in the form of the gravest treatises on
theology, philosophy, law, medicine, and
the sciences generally. The only way to
insure its exclusion beyond a doubt is to
let in nothing but strictly mathematical
works where the propositions can be visi
bly proved on a blackboard.”
The Only Defect. —ln a late speech in
the Spanish Cortes, Oastelar, the leading
Republican orator, said that a Democratic
Constitution, without democracy, remind
ed him of the foal Orlando’s mare present
ed to him, having long tail, glossy skin
and wavy mane, and whose only defect was
that it was dead.
The Baltimore Statesman says Castelar
must have been thinking of the American
Constitution.
Chancellor Woolley.— We call atten
tion to the remarkable decision of Chan
cellor Woolley, published in another col
umn. His views on matrimonial differ
ences strike us as eminently proper, and
his opinion is honorable alike to him indi
vidually and to the profession he so bril
liantly illustrates.

The Northern and the Southern
Presbyterian Churches.— ln the General
Assembly ol the Old School Presbyterian
Church Norfcb, in New York, on Saturday
last, resolutions were read as follows by
Dr. A. A. E. Taylor, of Georgetown, after
which he made remarks strongly favoring
a union with the Southern Presbyterian
Church :
Whereas, The last General Assembly
acknowledge the separate and independent
existence of the Presbyterian Church in
the Southern States, and enjoined upon al I
subordinate courts so to treat it, thus ac
cording to its ministers and members the
privilege of admission to our body upon
tlie same terms which are extended to min
isters and members of other branches of
the Presbyterian Church in this country;
therefore,
Resolved, That this General Assembly
hereby convey its Christian salutation to
the General Assembly of the Presbyterian
Churches of the Southern States, and give
expression of its sentiments to Christian
fraternity and fellowship toward tile min
isters add members of the body ; and as we
inherit and hold with them the same an
cient symbols of faith, the same forms of
government and of worship, thus represent
ing before the world the same sacred prin
ciples to which our common ancestors wit
nessed, and which we have maintained to
gether in the past, and especially since we
occupy adjacent, and in many places, com
mon territory, we deem it due Id our Lord
and to the best interest of His Kingdom on
earth to express the desire that the day
may not lie distant when we may again lie
united in a great organization that shall
cover our whole land and embrace all
branches of the Presbyterian Church.
Resolved, That the stated clerk be direct
ed to forward a copy of these resolutions
to the stated clerk of the Presbyterian
Church in tlie Southern States.
The report does not state what was done

A Melancholy Case of Domestic Incon
geniality—Eloquent and Touching
Opinion from Chancellor Woolley.
The divorce case of Lucy Gray vs. Wil
liam M. Gray, in the Chancery Court, has
excited considerable comment in conse
quence of some of its peculiar features, and
the opinion rendered by Chancellor Wool
ley has given it more than usual promi
nence.. The opinion is peculiar, too. It
has few or none of the dry old phrases
common to the edicts of courts, and is
comparatively a novel piece of work. It
embraces all the facts in the case, and we
give it here entire:
LOUISVILLE CHANCERY COURT.
Lucy Gray l Opinion and order re
„ t manding to rules.
William M. Gray.) °
This case exposes and illustrates the ju
dicial error in granting divorces for trivial
or undefined causes.
At the first reading of the. voluminous
record I thought that, contrary to my idea
of ethical rules and civil policy, I should
be forced to separate two people who had
agreed to live together by every bond that
is sanctioned by all laws which men obey.
An earnest and able appeal in tlie writ
ten argument by tlie young and worthy
counsel for the defendant induced a second
reading of the record, and the case is alto
gether different from that which I thought
it was. I see it now.
In March, 18G6, a marriage was solemn
ized between two young people of good
standing in social life. The husband was
a physician, not more than twenty-five
years old, and commanded an unusually
large practice for one of tiiat age.
He was remarkable for his industry,
thrift, generosity and religious habits.
The young counsel who has defended
him so ablfklh. this case was his school
mate, and Imy much stress upon his ear
nest statement that the defendant was a
manly fellow while at school.
The respected minister of the church of
which the defendant was a member de
clares tiiat lie was and is a gentle Chris
tian, and a good citizen.
Six or eight witnesses of undoubted
character testify fully to the excellence of
the defendant as a man, and to his just
conduct as a husband. Looking at him
simply through the testimony of his wit
nesses, he not only does not deserve a
shameful decree divorcing him from the
wife whom he says lie still loves, but he is
au example for many husbands to follow.
The plaintiff was a young girl not more
than twenty years of age. Her father was
a gentleman in social rank, and possessing
a comfortable estate of seventy-live or one
hundred thousand dollars. Site received
an excellent education, and all her wit
nesses (not less than ten) describe her as
gentle, tender and loving.
The two young people married, worthy
then, and with a future that seemed pro
pitious. The husband had the consent of
his family, and tlie wife more than the ap
probation of hers, for her brother took ail
active part to secure the alliance.
They had but one child ; that lived long
enough for the father and mother to see
their images reflected from a common ob
ject of mingled love.
Scarcely two years had passed lie fore the
wife filed her bill in this court, charging
that her husband was cruel and inhuman,
and praying tiiat the bonds by which they
were united might be broken forever.
The husband answered, and declared tiiat
he always loved his wife, and that he could
not be cruel to her.
Her witnesses, not less than ten in num
ber, prove that lie was cruel, inhuman and
mean, and that she was faithful, suffering,
patient and tender.
His witnesses, almost as numerous, prove
that, he was affectionate, attentive, labor
ious, and loving his wife above all things;
and that she was a petulent, quarrelsome
and insupportable termagant.
Two of them go so far as to say that she
waved a white handkerchief from her win
dow to allure young men on the street.
How is tliis ?
The answer is easy. Tlie husband was
not cruel and inhuman. Tlie wife was not
petulent and quarrelsome ; and the story of
the white handkerchief should not have
been foisted by family passion into the re
cord, because it is false.
Had these two people been allowed to
live and love together they would still be
faithful to the vows they offered, which re
ceived a sanction higher than that given by
human law.
All her witnesses who prove anything are
her family, her physician, her family friends,
or the enemies of her husband’s family.
All of Ms are of exactly tlie same char
acter.
Eacli family seemed to think it was its
right and duty to govern and control plain
tiff and defendant, or to make them hate
each other and then separate. 1 never
knew two stronger swearers than the bro
ther ot the plaintiff and the brother of the
defendant.
Tlie tribes became hostile, and these two
people, so young, and so bound by every
thing t.o make man and woman love each
other, became the objects whicli were used
to gratify family rivalry, hate, and spite.
And now, without crime, but merely mis
guided, with affections withered, vows*
broken, and the future blackened, I am in
voked to perpetuate tliis shame, and let
the man go marry another woman, and let
tlie woman go marry another man. I will
not do it.
And I have not given the only reason.
The civil law is supreme on this bench.
Ts tlie Chancellor believe in other laws
which conflict with and are superior to the
civil law, lie must abandon his opinions or
his place. This is a place solely for human
justice according to human law.
But if discretion be allowed—and in cases
of divorce the Chancellor lias large discre
tion—then all laws can he consulted which
elevate mankind and advance moral civili
zation. Under such circumstances what
lie tiling becomes tlie law of the case. I
have my views, and, not now wholly let
tered by merely human statutes, I will en
force them to the honor of society.
Throughout the civilized world great
temples have been erected and consecrated
to the enforcement of a creed which de
clares that there are other laws besides hu
man which govern the sacred contract of
marriage, If I were to declare tiiat creed
to be true, I should go beyond my busi-*
ness. Were I to deny that it is true, I
should be unfit for this place. But many
wiser and better than I believe, and I must
be careful lest 1 offend a law higher than
that administered in this court, and usurp
a jurisdiction higher than mine. Better to
be careful in tearing asunder bonds which
may lie suable elsewhere.
To dismiss this suit might not be right:
The proper course to take is to leave a
locus penitential.
This is the Spring, and if they will go to
the grave of their dead child, they will find
flowers there ; and flowers suggest forgive
ness and love. They may yet obliterate
from tlie past all tiiat was painful, and ob
tain from tlie future all that was so bright
ly promised.
Let the case go to rules.
R. W. Woolley,
Chancellor jrro tern. '
A Lively Freight,—'The Spectator, a
paper published in Hamilton, Canada, says
that they had a lively time with a swarm
of bees, op a train at Princeton, a few days
ago. Some one had freighted the bees, and
when the train stopped at the above named
place, it was discovered that the wire
gauze placed over the entrance of the hive,
to allow the bees air, and at the same time
to prevent their escaping, had become
somewhat displaced. The bees had made
the discovery first, and resolved to
“swarm,” and make the rest of the journey
(to some Western station, whither they
Were being sent) in their own way. They
did swarm, too, about the cars of the olli
cials, who for some time made ineffectual
efforts to induce the saucy little creatures
to go back into the hive and be good. A
dozen or more passengers, who ran to the
spot to learn the excitement, got their eyes
bunged up as a price for their curiosity.
But all did feel sorry for one bright, blue
eyed beauty, whose nose suddenly assumed
alarming proportions. The train started
on, and the refractory little creatures, who
had refused to return to the hive, were ob
served on the wing a few rods behind the
train, doing their best to keep up, generally
coming in as tffe train stopped at the differ
ent stations, in time to sting the brakes
men.

THE STORY OF A GOVERNESS IN ENGLAND.
A correspondent of the London Telegraph
vouches for the following as a true story :
“A few days ago I stood by the side of a
dying girl; her- age was seventeen, and
this is her history: She was the youngest
child in a large family. Her mother was
the widow of a clerk in a city bank, who
died suddenly, leaving his wife and child
ren destitute. Her sisters went out as
governesses; she remained at home until
increasing want rendered it necessary for
her, too, to make her own living. She
found employment as a daily governess.
She walked each day four miles to and
from her work, and received a lew shillings
a week. All day long she toiled, getting
no food until she reached home in the even
ing. Who does not remember tlie hot Bum
mer of last year? Through the glare of
that cloudless season this poor child starved
on. The feun withered up flower and shrub
and also withered the brain of the daily
governess.
“Day by day her strength melted away ;
at last she broke down. She could go no
more to the daily lesson; it was too late
now to give her food, kindly smiles, or
more wages. Her cry from morn to night,
as she rocked to and fro, pressing her
hands on her burning forehead, was,
‘Mother, mother, my brain is gone.’ One
day she was found with one hand copying
verses from the Bible, and with the other
had gashed herself with a knife. It was
then I first heard of the case. I advised
her mother to send her to ail hospital for
the insane. My advice taken. I often
went to inquire after her. I found the
place full of governesses, and all that kind
ness could do seemed to be done for them.
She soon became a raving lunatic.
“ One day I took two of her sisters to see
her. It was their first visit to the hospital,
and they brought some flowers to give the
patient. They were just in time to see her
die. In her cell, with an angel smile on
her young face, lay the little governess.—
Stic had fought the light of life to its bitter
end, and all was over now; and with a
look as though she blessed the world
which killed her, her young spirit passed
away to God.
“There was a post mortem examination.
Congestion of the brain was" the cause of
her death—hard work, they said, the cause
of tlie congestion. A little food, a little
kind thoughtfulness on the part of those
wh > employed her, might have saved her
life and the broken heart of her widowed
mother.
The birds were singing gayly, the sun
was shining brightly, as they laid her by
her father’s side in a quiet country grave.
There were few mourners, blit some poor
children and an old cripple, whom she
taught and to whom she read the Bible on
Sundays—her holidays—came some
miles to see the last of the little teacher.
“ Sir, in telling this story 1 do not cast
blame on any one, but I hope those who
read it, if they employ governesses, will re
member that human creatures are not mere
machines ; and if they see them fagged and
worn, will think of the story of this poor
child, whose soul now rests in a kindlier
world than tills.”
[From the North Carolina Argus.
Murder Will Out.
A gifted legal friend of this town gave
us tlie following account of a heartless
murder, and its final revelation, that took
place in this State, many years ago. A
man by tlie name of J—, of Wayne county,
North Carolina, sold a free negro (whom lie
had cheated into the belief that he was but
hiring) to a gentleman whom we will call
Brown, in one of the adjacent districts of
South Carolina. Some time afterwards
Brown discovered the fraud, and imme
diately wrote to J—, from whom he had
purchased him m Wayne county, that if he
paid back the money lie had paid him for
the free negro he would not prosecute him,
and besides keep it a profound secret. To
this Mr. J— replied he would gladly do so,
and urged Mr. Brown to come for it im
mediately, and closed by assuring him of
his gratitude that lie had spared his family
tlie humiliation of a public disclosure.
Mr. Brown, therefore, left his home on
horseback for Wayne county, and, upon
reaching the residence of Mr. J—, lie was
kindly received and sumptuously entertain
ed. Tlie money was paid over lo him, and
lie was prevailed on so spend several days
with the family and enjoy the sports ol (lie
country. After a pleasant sojourn of a
week he started for his home in South
Carolina, with the best wishes for his host
and family that he might have a safe jour
ney, and a safe return to enjoy their hos
pitalities. Several weeks after his depar
ture letters were received from Mr. Brown’s
family, making inquiry for him and stating
that lie had not returned to Ids home.—
Search and inquiry, however, proved fruit
less. Mr. Brown never returned. Mr. ,1
who Intel sold tlie free negro, never appeared
at his ease afterwards, but it was thought
to be owing to the unaccountable and
mysterious disappearance of Mr. Brown,
who had been his guest.
Years afterwards, and not long ago, Mr.
J—, on his death bed, urged his frmily and
friends not to bury him in the family
graveyard. He was very vehement in this
request, but it was presumed to be but a
vaguery of his diseased brain, and his dy
ing wishes were therefore disregarded. His
remains were carried to the family burying
ground, and the grave-digger commenced
his work; but, when he had reached a cer
tain depth, his spade struck a solid object
—obstructions which, upon their removal,
proved to be the skeletons of a man and
horse, with the irons of a saddle; the iron
buttons, too, upon the skeleton were found
to be the same that Mr. Brown had worn.
Thus, even at the grave, before the clods
of the valley had shut him out forever
from the light of day, surrounded by those
who had met ter do honor to his memory,
without judge or jury, these silent witness
es, his own dread of the spot, the ghastly
skeleton, with grinning teetli and sightless
eyes, the buttons, the saddle irons, pro
nounced him, to the judgment of all pres
ent, a heartless, fiendish murderer. There
was no appeal from this decision. Os a
truth, “ murder will out.”
The South and Cotton.—The New
York World considers the speech in the
Memphis Convention by General Alcorn
(Seuator elect from Mississippi, and, in the
judgment of the Work 1 , “the acknowledged
leader of the Republican party in the South
ern States,”) the most startling speech de
livered in this country since the close of
the war. It produced, says the World, an
immense sensation in the convention. The
speaker showed that the Southern cotton
interest—which, before the war, used to
bring in $250,000,000, gold—has been demol
ished by the results of that collision ; that
since the outset of the war, a colossal con
spiracy, initiated by British capitalists and
manufacturers, and joined in by the gov
ernments and capitalists of other nations,
has been at work for the establishment of
cotton culture abroad and the breaking
down of the American cotton monopoly;
that this conspiracy has so fir succeeded
that, even in 18154, thirty-nine sources, ex
clusive of the United States, contributed,
for instance, to the supply of cotton at
Manchester; that Australia, Jamaica, the
French West. Indies, Greece, Turkey, Brazil,
Portugal, Morocco, Egypt, Italy, Austria,
Hayti, Malta, Japan, China, and Venezuela,
were amohg.the producers ; that the aver
age iibre of foreign cotton in fourteen in
stances, was equal, for average purposes of
manufacturing, to the American fibre; and
tiiat in several, in fact in most of the
countries named, cotton can be cultivated
and exported to England at cheaper rates,
than American planters can afford. Gen
eral Alcorn thus illustrates how the war
and the policy of repression pursued by
Congress towards the South, has paralyzed
an industry which furnished over three
tourths of the exports of the country. He
proposes as a remedy, which he defines to
be a national duty, the construction of
levees along the Mississippi. The uplands
at present available for cotton, yield from
200 to 500 pounds per acre. The rich bot
tom lands would yield from 1,500 to 2,000
pounds per acre. This enormous yield, in
his opinion, would enable American plant
ers to underbid once more the markets of
the world.

Mature Is tUe Great Physician.
This is now admitted, by the medical profession as
a fundamental principle of heating science. It is wise
ly provided by tlie human economy tiiat whenever
anything is wrong in tlie physical syslom tlie natural
forces of tlie body are brought to bear to expel the
disease. The great aim, therefore, is to strengthen
tlie natural powers. This has been kept in view by
the skilful compounders of HOSTETTKR’S
STOMACH BITTERS, which operates to give Iresh
vitality to all the organs of the body. The effect of
this medicine upon the stomach, the liver and the kid
neys, is prompt and decisive. The patient, who is
wise enough to quit drugging and try the BITTERS,
soon feels as If he had taken anew lease of live, and as
he eon'inues the use of the article, he is oyeijoyed to
find the streams of health corn sing through his irame.
ItJs prepared with great care, and its component
part s are entirely vegetable. It is free from tlie objec
tions so often urged against preparations of the kind.
Asa MEDICAL AGENT it has no equal, while its
pleasing flavor and healthful effects have made it a
general favorite. It is free fr m aU properties calcu
lated to impair the system, and Us operations are at
once mild, soothing and efficient. All who have used
IIOITKTTER’S STOMACH BITTERS attest its
virtues and commend its use.
Even fho-e who are in the enjoyment of perfect
health frequently have need to have recourse to lonics
as preventives of disease. We are never too well
