Itisaverred “that the said marriage ceremony Was and is invalid and v and that no legal mar in fact took place between the parties.” ‘The bill charges: “That the complainant never legally consented to said marriage, and that such formal consent as was given by her was obtained by frauduient artifice and misrepresentation and by threats of such character as to absolutely deprive her of the power to give a rational consent thereto. That in addition to the fraud, misrepresentation and threats re- sorted to by the devendant, the complaint says ‘that the laws of the state of Maryl: forbid the celebration of any marriage ceremony without license, and @provides that no such license shall issue for the marriage of ding nt under the age of twenty-one years unless Lhe written consent Of the parents, attested by the signatures of two Witnesses, 1s" first flea with the clerk. ‘The bill further states that since the performance of the ceremony she has learned that the aefend- ant was only twenty years old in the month of August last; that no written consent of the parents Was dled, and no consent was obtained by defend- ant trom his parents, both of whom reside here.

The majority of the democrats Will start out to get as much tariff reduction and as little protection as they can. But they are Prepared to retreat sooner than take a defeat, Whenever they find that they cannot get What they would like they will compromise, ‘the best they can get. ‘They will follow this plan throughout, compromising as to every detail until they have ‘secured a bill ‘that can pass the House.

As to the surplus that fs already in the Treasury, it will be the adzainistration policy to let it stay as a bank account against necessary demande, and long as itis not growing larger It will not be dangerous, The chances are, however, that both Houses of Congress will pass é bill making pretty heavy demands on it.
