A SENSIBLE/VlEW.—The New York Journal of C,birrincrec, while reminding its readers Ott General Grant was-not its choice . the Presidency; protests agabat o, t 'two forms'of opposition tt) his 'administration: It says: • " The one is represented by the New York Wor/dovinch before the inaugu ration openly avowed its 'enmity, and promised unceasing and uncompromis ing 'hostility, to the new incumbent, Without regard to his methods of policy, We not think that any measurellof _ party fealty requires of the most devo ted ,; party organ such a course of war fare against Onceessful opponent, and we believe that decent men of all par ties are thoroukbly disgusted with it. "The other is represented by the New York Sun, Which avows itself in sym pathy with the new administration, but now loses no convenientloppKtunity to 'misrepresent and degrade the President of its own choosing. We do not seek !'impertinently to pry into motive's; and we care not whether the distinguished journalist now editing that paper has been disappointed in the pursuit of .of flee, or only rebuked for uffering advice . which was not,asked or acceptable ; but we submit that the daily thugs at the Piesident now published in the Sun are contemptible in any aspect, and coining from a professedly Republican source, degrading to the party with which their author has'been so prominently connec ted. Of the two, the World's proposed opposition to all the measures of file z-td ministration," good and had alike, al though it seems to us to be time extreme of party immorality, is less despicable than .the course of the avowed friend who deals in slurs and intiendoes where he is afraid fairly to criticise or openly to denounce. If both _these nuisances may be abated for thd , remalnder of the year the reading pubbe will be of_ grateful." - itEMNRKAI3LE EXPOSMIT'E-01' CRIME. —One night in January, 18118.

He has the vigor and en ergy requisite to the discharge of the duties of the position, and we begin to hope that the system nay be fairly tried after all. The only miiitake.of the Con-_ vention was in refusing to make the salary $l5OO. Prof. Horton 11111 n o t have much margin left of his salary if he gives his time to the work. If you want work well done you must pay for it. '. Mr Fairman, the recently appointed Postmaster,at Elmira, took possession of the office Tuesday, evening, 4th Inst. He says that the retiring / Officers remov ed the names from the boxes before leaving, or defaced them, thus making it almost impossible to accommodate the public at once. We have known same pretty mean Johnson men, but that beats them all hollow. If there is anything to come out of that transaci tiou; at all disrepute, the stigm& cannot rest upon Mr. rairman. How like sheepticks these Democriitie place men stick_to the body politic. Mr. Post ought to emigrate to Baltimore. Under the head of "Pulpit Phraseolo gy," a correspondent • pf', the Chicago .Advance asks if it be pr , Oper for a min ister of the Gospel to saYA, hi the pulpit, "it is as false as twill" The editor opines that such phraseology is not nec essarily wrong, but may seem to sonic " a species of pious profanity." it strikes us that if it be proper for a min ister to use such expressions in the pul pit, it is just as proper' for him to use them out of it; and if it be proper 1'or• a minister_ to use such language, it is just as proper for anybody else to use it anywhere. , elco minister can speak thus with reverence. It is the language- of passion or indignation. Altogether, we have much respect for the Jew anti the Bramin, neither of whom (hire to speak the name of the Almighty. , The debt statement of the nation for April, just published, shows a decrease vet' the public debt0f56,399,499,03. This, added to the decrease in March $3,000,- 000,,and over, inak - es the decrease of in debtedness during the first two months of Grant's Administration nearly $lO,- 000,000. The people willtnot fail to ap preciate the gain to the treasury involv ed in this decrease of the debt, ast car ries with it a saving of $600,000 this year.. Mr. Boutwell seems determined to second Giant's efforts to economize. lie discharged 29S clerks in his depart ment during the month of Aprila saving of not less than.s3oo,ooo per an num. The people ask that tOw sin ecures shall be abolished, wherever they may exist. l'Co man has a legal lien upon the treasury as an office-hold er unless his services are needed. Too many men hrve received salaries of from $l2OO to $lBOO per annum, yet never put in an appearnmce save on pay-day. Gen. Grant will put down that sort of thing ho 411 deserve distinguished gratitude. MARRIAGE A.N.D DIVORCE Probably such of our readers as live beyond the borders of Pennsylvania will gaze upon the long string of ap plications for divorce, published else here in this paper, with ast i onish men t. "hey viii ask themselves if there be anytl ing fatal to the marriage tie in the cleat' mountain air of Tioga county ; or, it there is a sort of purgatory for mar- Jed\ people, out of which the HotalTa : Ole c, , 'mitt of Common Pas is lift i ins' }the ill-mated in response to their for mal and passionate prayers. _ Good 'people, let us answer your ques tion : The pure air, piiiy woods, clear waters, and occaional frosts of this lat itude and longitude are not, singly, or combined, fatal to - the marriage tie.— Thoug i lt there be seven ill-mated•peeple asking to be unhitched and placed in sitcau qui), it by no means follows that these fourteen people were wounded II:s Cupid, betrothed, and wedded in Tioga county. Thirty-six Miles north-of this point lies an empire. Some people call ft New York. Therein man, beim.;wiser than nature and statutes more pnerful than natural laws, thoSe whmit 'Squitle and Dominic join together are not easily put asunder._ Hence, the ill-mated, af ter the keen edge of wedded life has 1 1 crumbled off, and "fancy, roving free," like a bee sips the nectar of a strange •ilower, look longingly over the blight my line between the two States, and conclude to try We virtue of our climate and much prayer to the Honorable Court of Common Pleas. Therefore, not every application for legal coriVint to unmarry and remarry proceeds, from natives. Our laws are favorable to the rectification of little er rors of judgment and fancy which ren dernatried life a burden to many.— The unhappy married of our neighbor north have only to reside In Penusyl vault), a year to entitle the party to the right of petition for a divorce. This is not to say that none of those applying at present are natives. Possibly they are all. -natives. Nor istl it to reproach them for parading their griefs before On unsympathetic public. While standing second to none in respect for the-ordi nance of marriage, we certainly do not hold to the extreme views pressed by many. Marriage, in thi country, among Protestants; is but a civil con tract, It - is-a partnership, "ostensibly for life, and not i effeeted by the angels, as many suppos4. In speaking of these matters it is best to drop formalism and humbug, and tell the'exact truth. The institution is intended for the protection of society by the legal establishment of families. The law which purlislics big A. flirty does not go farther in the reason for its rule than the matter of protec tion. A writer in a religious ,journal before us takes another view 9f the subject, however. He asks : -" Did not you once, in ' the presence of minister, and.friends, solemnly declare that you would love, honor, and obey until death l did you part?" Well, ,suppose the par= ties to a divorei• did fid promise; 'and suppose that the husband forga his proMitleAecatife a sot; beat his wife and starved hiS — farnily ; or suppose that either husband or wife proved infidel to the relation; What then? Will you force them tolive,au outrageous, shame-, ful lie, every - ilay and hour of their lives, because, forsooth, they . promiset, to do what they have not done, and dot not intend to do? What is that. but to make the relation a penalty instead of a mutual benefit? However, let us look at this matter of solemn promises to do certain things hi the future, and see if it will work in other cases. When a man or woman unites with a church, he or she prom ises, soletimly,to be faithful 'to the vows of a Christian, and to walk uprightly 'before God and man. Time passes, and the convert becomes a sot, an adhiterer, profane, neheat. Now what will the church do? Will it Say—" You prom ised once, in the presence of the min ister, of God, and a host of witnesses, to observe the requirements of a Chris tian life, to walk uprightly ,before God and men ; therefore you must remain in the church, willy-willy ?" Who sup poses that a possible proceeding? Now both cases are upon promises ; and thus far parallel. What is good and right in one is good and right in another. Is there any other point dis similar? The church was ordained by the Almighty; in the same way mar riage was ordained. Breach of vow in one works dismissal ; why not in the other? Let divest the matter Mill further of popular falsehood. What right have priests or rulers to declare that 0 odjoins any particular man and wom an together? In hosts of eases the dec laration is blasphemy; in most eases the pereoliciating knows nothing about - the-tifeumstances of the union. Thousami,S marry for convenience ; oth eribousands marry for position ; other thousands marry; because they agreed to ; and the balance harry because God made theta for each other. We ' don't propose to say how many belag in the last named class. But we have no hesitation about saying that none of those who marry for conveniimee, po sition, or to escape prosecution for breach of promise, are joined by God. They are joined by the statute of the state, or by sonic virtue bf the common Such marriages are not, as we be lieve, recognized anywhere else save on the earth. To talk about the sanctity of such unions is worse than nonsense.— To stickle aboU holding parties to their contract when they fight like cats and dogs, and render the relation hideous, is to stickle for the husks of things while the kernel goes begging. Now, after all we have written, it must not be s4apposed that we would make divorce bheap and easy. By no means. Divorce ought never to be granted to parties except upon the plain showing of necessity for the protection of the family interested. Parties with out children, who have tired of each other, and who ask to be released so that they may experiment elsewhere, do not deAerve much favor. In the same class we place those NA; ho do not need each other, and have separated amicably. But where the man is a sot, or a libertine, the law should in terfere to release the wife, so chained to livng corpse. And where the wife liestows her favors upon other men, the husband is entitled to release from the , contract. But - where both parties are 1 infidel the Courts ought to diyorce, with an injunction upon both not tei\ marry again, under penalty of ptinish- 1 went for bigamy. The deserted wife, who can show that she did not drive her husband away, ought to. be heard ; but the deserter ought not to be free to cheat another woman ; and vice versa. To sum up : We hold that divorces should be granted with a d view to the protection of both parties and society. The law has no right to wreek two lives on panetilio. It is always better for parties to divide than to lire in constant violation of the marriage vows; and better not 'only for parties, but for the community at large. The State (Marti, Harrisburg, pub lishes a list of the names of honest metiThers of the Legislature. One of the "e ••t writes to the editor that he has read the article containing the afore said list, and is struck with its justice. W. Forney neglects to mention the names of, out ! members Niles and E.traug—as among the elect. We pre sume that Messrs. Strang and Niles neglected to fee Mr. Forney before they left, as in all the State there is not a more "touchable" man than he. He oilers to revise the list upon application by the reprobated. We advise our members not to ask: it, or complain of the outrage. To be endorsed by the Guard after such an obvious bid for black mail, would damn any man, though be were pure as the 'driven snow. Mr. E. Pollard, of Richmond, is pre paring a life of Jefferson Davis, em bracing the Secret History of the Con federacy. Mr. Pollard was one of the most influential journalists in the Con federacy during the Rebellion, and is believed to be well advised of the se cret workings of the rebel chiefs. To Mr. Pollard, as to most men who know Jefferson Davis, the latter is far from being a hero. The history will embrace the conspiracy which began years be fore the war broke out, and cannot fail to afford valuable information to' all who want to understand the cause and result of the rebellion. The National Publishing CoMpany, Philadelphia, will palish the book, which will be well printed and bound. An agent is wanted for Tioga County.
