It seems that defendant was r. widower of lil'ty-two years, and had two daughters of a tormer wife, when he married the plaintiff, who was twenty-three years of age. lie communicated to the plaintiff'the fact, that he was the I owner of the real estate, before making his ofl'or ot marraigc, yet four days before the marriage and without the knowledge of the plaintiff, he made an absolute conveyance in fee simple of the real esA.! ... rpi. . r* ?. 1.^1 1 state in fjuosiion. i iiu v^uui l iil-ui that the conveyance was a fraud | upon the right ot the wife?that ^ its effect would he to deprive her of a -tight of dower, inchoate indeed and only consummate in the event of the wife surviving her husband; but still a subsisting and valuable interest which needs and should receive the protection of the Courts. This decision only follows the current of authority in a number of similar cases which hold that the rights of husband and wife will be equally protected against any act commited in contemplation of marriage, in fraud of the-marital rights. It is good law as well in Great Britain, as in the various States in the Union, and only conforms to the intincts of; nature and dictates of common -sense. The Richmond Dispatch denies ithat she is an advocate ot woman's suffrage, which is distasteful alike the men and women of the South ; but how much better is her position as a public lecturer occupying a situation which is alien to all the habits and instincts of her sex. Tho Connecticut Election. It seems to be conccded by the leading journals of both parties, that the Democrats have gained a great victory in Caneeticut, in thol election which came off on tljo ,oth in.st. They have elected Gov-| ernor Ingersoll, by a plurality ofj 9,482 against G,784, last year, and a majority over all of G,084, against 1,800 last year. Tlicy have elected also a majority of the Legislature and three out of lour Congressmen. All of this has been eflected against the whole power and influence of the administation,) who appreciated the importance of the contest, and hence spared no effect to secure the victory. The! Republican candidate for Governor Green and the rest of their ticket were in tull sympathy with he Louisiana policy and third term aspirations of President Grant, and hence the result may bo regarded as a rebuke to the present policy of the administration. It is so regarded by such Republican journals as the Tribune and Times, who attribute the defeat to the blundering policy of the administration especially in reference to Louisiana and the Civil Rights bill, whilst the World claims it as a Democratic victory over Republicanism. The Herald on the contrary thinks that the Democratic victory would have been much greater, but for the election of such a "dyed in the wool," Bourbon to the Senate as Mr. Eaton, and that the party must guard omiinct eiicli lklnnilnra if tlir?ir ??Ul>a.?v ~ would hope for success. Yet, their success has surpassed the anticipations of all, and affords the most abundant matter for encouragement. The Abbeville 1 Vt'.y.v and Banner, speaking of Dr. J. A. Stuart, of Ninety-Six, says: "He has taken the Press and liaiimo from it? earliest publication." Of course, 1 - III 1 x. 1 . pnysicians are uuu^cu iu uuve pu-i per to wrap up doses of medicine, and newspapers are cheaper than any other kind. Easy enough accounted for.?Pickens Sentinel. 0, sir; you are mistaken| this time*. The Doctor has nearly the whole of the numbers 011 file. Let that be as it may, however, the subscription has been regularly paid, and that is what we print it for. The Laurcnsvillc Herald thinks we are fond of "fat takes," and in this opiuion lie is rigur. we trust that the Herald may ucver have a "lean take", but wish for .him the greatest number of the "fattest takes." They are good. Marion has the bank fever. J Tiir: Court.?Our Court continued iu session until Friday evening of the past week, when the ijurors were dismissed, and the Court adjourned.

While many of our exchanges arc; urging the necessity of forming a State Press Association, we think! there is a greater need of an Edit-i or's Mutual Admiration Society.J The need of this society has been ! long felt and wo suggest that the loving brethren form such a so-j cictv at once. The representative) editors of two newspapers would, be sullicient to organize, open J books, and receive additional, names as they might be proposed. One great advantage in the socictv would be. that it would save the brethren from the necessity of blowing their own horns. A hint wonlil be sufficient to induce other members to speak all manner of good things for him, while the favored brother could gracefully acknowledge the courtesy, and at the same time disparage a competitor. The motto of the society might be, "You tickle me and I'll tickle you." The correspondent "L." of the Isiuraisvillc Hccald has unmasked himself, and we presume that he now intends for us to understand by the communication and signa-; lure mat tuc auinor is a "ijunuuc, and that "L." docs not stand for "Laurens" as we suggested last week.
