TIIE UNITED STATES AND ENGLAND.
The following circular, which has been issued
by the Anglo-American Committee of which
Thomas Ilughes, Esq., is chairman, is enti
tled to the thoughtful consideration of all
who are anxious to promote good feeling and
friendly relations between the United States
and England.
The circular, which consists of an address
and a list of the noblemen and gentlemen
who have been placed npon the committee,
is as follows:
ADDRESS.
The Anglo-American Committee has been
forned for the purpose of obtaining the beat
securities for the maintenance of a friendly
understanding, ana ior me cultivation 01 more
cordial relations, between the United States
and Great Britain. It Is proposed to establish a
precisely similar society in the United States
ana in canaaa, ana 11 nas Deen ascertained that
tbere are many leading Americans who will
give their aid to this end. It is hoped that citi
zens of each country resident in the other will
join the committee in the place of their tempo
rary domicile.
1 he necessity for the establishment of some
inch society has forced itself on several of the
firomotcrs of the committee, who have been
tttely in the United States. The lamentable
ignorance of contemporary American history
which exisfa in England even amongst
othewise well-instructed politicians U too
notorious; and the case is much the same in
the United States with reference to Great
Britain. Upon all questions in controversy be
tween the two countries, the facts and arguments
which form the strength of the case on each
side are, for all practical purposes, unknown in
tbe other. It la fruitless to inquire how this
came to pass; it is clear that it is dangerous to
allow such a state of things to continue.
Hence tbe present effort, which the promoters
are confident may be made the instrument of
spreading sounder views, and of bringing to
gether citizens of each country outside of the
range of party politics.
The work of tbe English committee for the
present will be confined to the publication ef
carefully prepared statements upon the ques
tions at issue, which are specified In the Presi
dent's message, and to entering into corres
pondence with citizens of the United States
who may be ready to join In the work of hearty
reconciliation between the two countries.
It is believed that other methods of forward
ing this general object will open out, of which
the committee will be able to avail themselves
in due course.
Citizens of either country, who may be ready
to join In this effort, are requested to communi
cate with the lion. Secretary.

THE ROYAL MARRIAGE.
The I'omlnar I'dIob f the IHnrnnt. of Lome
Rid the Prince. Iuiiin
Scotchmen are proud of the fact that the old
est son of one of their greatest chiefs Is the
first subject in modern times who, openly and
with the full consent of the ruling powers,
should be betrothed to a princess of royal blood.
Several means of expressing their satisfaction
have been ventilated In tbe press. Among others
the proposal that a splendid palace should be
erected near Edinburgh for the happy couple at
the cost of the Scottish peers. This,
however, has not proved accepta
ble, probably from the fact that
the majority of the illustrious personages need
all the "gear" they have to keep up their posi
tion in society. The Marquis, It is said, has pur
chased a house in Moray place, Edinburgh, the
finest square of that city of palaces. This will
Erove a godsend to Auld Reekie, which of late
as descended to the level of a large provin
cial town with a society almost entirely profes
sional. With a princess for its centre Edlnbu'gq
will attract tbe aristocracy and wealth of the
country, if the winds do not prevail against
royalty and drive to balmier climes the now
daintily nurtured and anizlified" nobility of the
North. In the popular estimation Lord Lome
seems to be a fecond Prince Charlie. As you
walk past the shop windows ho meets your gaze
nt every step in picture and photograph.
You see him in the shape of a child's doll,
arrayedin full Highland costume. lie is already
celebrated in song, and his crest has become
public property as tbe favorite device of ladies'
brooches. There is another point of resem
blance between the young nobleman and the
Jacobite hero in the circumstance that the
former has for a rival some "wee, wee German
lairdie." It is said that the King of Prussia,
being very indignant that none of his dependent
sprigs of German royalty should have beon
chosen for the husband of Princess Louisa, has
indignantly protested against this marriage.
If this be true bis remonstrance has been un
availing. Workmen are at present busily em
ployed In preparing the chapel In Windsor
Castle for the approaching solemnity, which
will take place on the 20th of March.
CONJUGAL TRIALS.
Two Dlnrrlnaro and Three Divorce Suit Ite
Iwmb tbe Hame Parties,
The Louisville Chancery Court can boast of
laurels in the way of divorce suits before which
even renowned Chicago may lower her plumes.
The Chancellor yesterday returned the papers
of one with the simple Indorsement "dismissed,"
whereby hang several very well-developed tales.
It is the third of a series, all brought by the
same fair plaintiff against the same incorrigible
defendant.
M. L. II was sweet sixteen, when, in 1800,
she first felt "the need of a protector during the
journey through life," and listened to the soft
words of E. J. H . She knew him "poor in
purse," as she herself expressed it, but then he
was young and handsome. Hence, there was
soon the sound of marriage bells, and all went
merry till poverty came In the cottage door ami
fc'upld began his flight from the window. "He
only bought me one calico dress during the
whole time, and he didn't pay for that," was a
sad sequel to the nuptial pledge, "with all my
goods I thee endow.' So, followed by the ghosts
of scanty wardrobes aud unpaid board bills, Ed
ward bade farewell to his Elolee and carpet
bagged it to California.
These were grounds enough for divorce, and
on the 20th February, 1803, the Chancellor "gave
her back her heart again," with her co3ts "in
that behalf expended."
On the 25lh of March, 1SG3, the long absent
Enoch Arden had returned to Louisville, taken
out fresh license, and again entered into "the
gall of bitterness and the bonds of iniquity"
wuu ine object 01 ins nrst ana eariy love.
And then began the most extended bridal tour
ever recorded. The defendant, as it was after
wards asserted in divorce suit No. 2. "took me
to California, where we remained one year;
thence to Nevada Territory for six months'," In
which strange land the truant husband left his
doubly-wedded wife, and struck out for New
Mexico, she, through the assistance of friends
in Louisville, returning here again to seek a
dissolution of the chains in which she had so
unfortunately been a second time entrapped.
In this suit she was not so successful. It Is so
hard 10 loosen cords which have been twice tied
that we doubt if anything short of a Chicago
Chancellor can ever undo the knot. Edward
returned In time to protest against another dis
solution of the bonds, and putting on tile seve
ral letters, of which the following is a sample,
established so clearly in the eyes of justice that
tbe plaintiff did not consider herself "aban
doned," as alleged, as to defeat the suit:
My Darling Edward: I do wish we were living
together In a nice little home of our own; don't you
think we would be happy 1 1 expect to see the day
when we will live as comfortably as any of them.
It may be for years, but 1 hope not, Edward.
our darling wife, S .
Tbe second suit was dismissed May 20, 1870;
but, not to be outdone, suit No. 3 was filed Au
gust 25 following, which, we are sorry to say,
mtt with a like late. Louisville Conrier-Jour.
THE CABINET.
Tbe Humored Reconstruction.
A Washington correspondent writes:
There is emphatic authority to say that the
President entertains no idea whatever at preseut
of making any change in his Cabinet. Secretary
Fish has uot asked to be relieved from his posi
tion as Secretary, nor does the President desire
that he shall do so. Concerning tbe French
embassy the President says that Minister Wash
burne never stood higher In his estimation than
he does to-day; that be considers Mr. Washburne
a decided suc cess as Minister at Paris; that he
has exceeded his most sanguine expectations,
and that should he ever ask to be relieved, his
request would be granted only on the ground of
failing health, with which the Minister is now
affected.
It must be understood that while the Presi
dent is satisfied with his Cabinet, he cannot
answer for the intentions of the members. Secre
tary Fish informed your correspondent some
time since that he did not, when accepting his
office, intend to remain during the whole ad
ministration of President Grant. It seems to
be understood that he will resign early in March,
though it cannot be stated confidently that such
is his Intention,
QUAKER INDIAN AGENTS.
Probable Itelnatloo of Friend Haiunel and
Asa Jaooey.
The Loudoun (Va.) Standard says:
We learn from a reliable source that Mr.
Samuel M. and Asa M. Janney, who are now
occupying onerous and responsible positions
under the Government as Indian agents, con
template in a short time resigning the same,
their health ns longer permitting them to en
dure the trials and hardships lncidentlto a life
among the Indians. Considering their advauced
ages and naturally delicate health, it has been a
matter of surprise that they have thus far en
dured the well known border hardships. That
they have well and faithfully discharged their
duties is a fact too well known to the country
to need comment. Their policy has been the
jeans of saving millions to the Government,
and 11 rigidly carried out in the future will
prevent a repetition of hostilities by the Indians.
