011 CHARLESTON, TUESDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 7, 1869. THE MJLRRIAGE MOCKERY. More of th? Richardson Death-hod Nup? tials-The Practical vs. the Sentimen? tal Tl??-A. Heavy Onslaught upon Kcnry Ward Beecher. Th? Northern papers continue to discuss with much warmth the recent extraordinary death-bod marri ago of Rlclardson and Mrs. McFarland. The current of opinion among the leading presses, which, at first, was alto? gether with Richardson, seems fast veering ronnd In favor of the man whom he had so deeply wronged, and who was goaded to un? lawful vengeance. Nearly all tho Journals ?site in denounofng the conspicuous part taken by the Bov. Henry Ward Beecher In the final marriage mockery. Forney's Washington Chronicle takes this practical view of the case: 18 TUS MAB RIAOS VALID ? Mr. A. D. Richardson was a reputed stock bolder In the New York Tribune Association, and this gives to his recent marriage a rather practical aspect as far as the widow is con JL cerned, li we mistake not, a distinguished / American poet and writer once came into a valuable estate through a similar death-bed marriage. Tho operation of the law in these cases-the rights of dower and tenant by courtesy-relieves them largely of tho gla? mour of sentiment which popularly surround them. In this case, nnless Mr. Richardson has specifically devised his property by will, tho question of law will very likely be raised whether there was any marriage at all. If Mrs. McFarland was not legally divorced, then the ceremony performed by Henry Ward Beecher was void and of no effect Latterly the courts of Pennsylvania and New York have inclined against Indiana or Illinois divorces, and In several cases have declined to recog? nise their validity where delects In notices ware pro ven. "A. PCBUC OOTBiOM ON' RELIGION AND DE? CENCY." Under tam heading thc New York Sun thus editorially suma up the points of this remarka? ble case, and gives the notorious preacher of Plymouth pulpit a foretaste of universal public ion time nt as to his course: Tho Astor House, in this city, was the scene on Tuesday afternoon of a ceremony which seems to us to set at d afiance all those senti? ments respecting the relation of marriage which regard lt as anything Intrinsically supe? rior to prostitution. The high priest of this occasion waa Henry Ward Beecher, assisted by the Rev. Henry M, Field, D. D.. and the Ber. O. B. Frothingham. The parties wore Albert D. Richardson, lying wounded by a pis? tol shot upon abed of Illness, and probably of death, and Mrs. McFarland, alias Mrs. Sage, whom Richardson some time ago seduced from allegiance to ber lawful wedded husband. Ibis busband bad been guilty of a crime to? ward his wife-the crime of poverty. It was I i even said that, harassed by tho loss of his pro-1 ( porty and tbe conduct of his wife, he had somo - times taken to his cups, to drown care, and had occasionally been exasperated to speak harshly to toe partner of his bosom, although, on tbe other band, no charge of adultery was ever made against him, and lt appears to be uncontradicted that he was generally so do-1 ? roted to her that bis exceeding conjugal affec? tion attracted attention and elicited Troquent remarks from bis acquaintances. Mrs. McFarland was a woman of personal at? tractiveness. She aad her husband and chil, dren, tn tbe year 1S67, occupied apartments adjoining those ot Richardson, wno was a young widower, with children. As wo are In? formed, Mrs. McFarland got Into the habit of I going ont to lunch frequently, if not daily, | | with Richardson. After this had gone on for ?orno tune, her husband remonstrated with , ber against such a practice, telling her that it ' would give rise to scandal. She replied that j . abe bad not before reflected upon that conse- ! quence, and promised immediate amendment. Coming home earlier than usual tbe next day, , McFarland was met in the hall by bis wife, who . esme rushing suddenly and as if surprised from Richardson's apartments, and then by j Way of atonement she threw her arms oonrolslvely around him and buried him lu . shower of passionate kisses. They then went to bis room, whero ho gently re? minded ber that abs had broken her promise; she again promised reform; they spent tho night together, sod In the morning she con? tinued to cover bim with terms ol' endearment, finally begging bim, as he left, to return earlier than usual, assigning tis the reason of bar request that she had not had enough ot his society of late; that she was lonely, and wished to see more of him. In compliance with her impassioned wish, he did return earlier than usual, and found on hie table a note from his xnfe, stating that she had left him t Tn fact, - Richardson had taken her and his two children awayf?vm Mm and his home, whither he knew not. Subsequently, finding Richardson escort? ing ber borne from a theatre late at nighi, he fired a revolver st him, but Inflicted only a flesh wound. One of his children he afterward found ia Massachusetts. He succeeded in re covering possession of the child before tho Supremo Court of that State bj* aid of thu sacred writ of ?tabeas corvus. On the 12th of March, 1*69, Richardson pub? lished a card, containing the shameless state? ment-respecting a woman who was thc " I wile of another, man-that after the ID between Mrs. McFarland and her M tl came to be understood between her and-myself, ihat whenever she should bo legally she should become mywij i." Yet no bl? eut, reasoning human beirg can doubt, tba evidence m thc case, l ' at this separa was promoted and brou.- it about-and not unlikely originally suggest'-'i-by Richard? son himself'! Atlast, driven to frenzy b the loss of his fare than Ufa, and bv the c i temptation of ? wife, the mother of Ms children, reposing l|ie gnus of her seducer, he shot that seduc? er-who was armed at the time to receive bim-through tho body, Inflicting upon him a wound from the effects of which the seducor has since been fluttering between llloand death. We uss tho word seducer in its exact sense; we mean tbe man who led this woman from herself;for be who crawls, like tho ser? pent In Eden, Into a household and estranges from a husband tbs affections of a wife, is equally ber seducer, whether he himself bas marital relations with, ber before or after a mock religious ceremony. As the great and eloquent John Whipple said, "He who eaters the dwelling o? a friend, and. under thc shel? ter and protection of friendship and hospitali? ty, corrupts the integrity of his wile or daught? er, by the common consent of mankind ought to bo consigned to an immediate gallows." An easily misguided woman, led on by Rich? ardson, and cheered and encouraged bv hu Free-love allies, this wife and mother resorted ' to Indiana, wbere, forgetting her early plight* Sd faith, by the loose and easy process therein rogue, sbo prooared a legal divorce. f'Wlth bold. Irreverent brow, And loose, free step, her pervious wsy she trod, J>ownward sud on till she denied her God, And broke tho marriage vow." For had shs not rowed to take McFarland for ker husband, for better, for worse, until DEATH-nothing ?190-should part them ? But lt is said that her husband was poor, and sometimes harsh ! And so the Rev. Hen? ry Ward Beecher comes and marries ber to another man, to wit, this man Richardson ! And now, consider, married men of New York, husbands and fathers, by what frail and brittle tenure your homos are yours. It you fall In your business-and it ls said that nine? ty-five out of one hundred business men at some time fall-then the younger and hand? somer face of your widowed neighbor may charm away your wife; tho laws of Indiana will grant a divorce to the fair truant, and Henry Ward Beecher, with the Rev. Dr. Field, of the New York Evangelist, standing at his right band, and the Rev. 0. E. Frothingham to implore a blessing on the sin, stands ready to marry her to the first libertine who will pay -not In affection, but in gold or greenbacks tbe price of ber frail charms ! If it be said that poverty was not the only crime oftMcFar land, then rest easy, hasbands and fathers, at least all of you who never, in any moment of trial and vexation, have uttered one Impatient or petulant word ! yes, it Is the pious, the popular, tbe admired, the revered Henry Ward Beecher who comos boldly and even proudly forward, holding by the band and leading lust to her triumph over religion ! Who can read tbe narrative, and not wish that Plymouth Church were sunk Into the ground until the peak ot Its gable should so beneath the surface of the earth ! Asi Mr. Beecher was assisted by the Rev, Mr. Frotaingham, who blasphemed In u prayer to God which contained these words : " Father, ree thank Thee for lohat these two have been to each other, and for what they may be yet." Mr. Frothlngham may plead In his defence that he does not believe in the Scriptures ; but Mr. Beecher, who has been engaged for seve? ral years past upon a Ufe of Christ, should have reminded him that our Saviour said : " I say unto you, that whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for tho cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery ; and whoso? ever shall marry her Hutt is divorced committeth adultery? _ HS TEL J. TIO KB IK BNQLAND. Dorsetchlr* Laborer* at Home. A Blue-book jost published in England con? tains some startling revelations as to the life of the Dorsetshire laborer and his family. Kr. Stanhope, tho Assistant Commissioner for the district, under tho Women and Children's Em? ployment Commissioner, examined, in the course of his inquiries, a number of the land? owners, clergy, farmers and laborers. The evidence given by some of the laborers ls pa? thetic. The following ls a part of thc story told by a shepherd's wife near Blantforl : "My husband is the shepherd. He has 10s. a week and the house, because he works on Sun? day. He has ?1 at harvest, and ?2 at lambing, (but he bas to buy fuel at lambing; sometimes ho doesn't go to bed for a night or two;) he has nothing extra for tho lambs he saves. My husband has to lind his own tools, even hi's shears for clipping; they all have to buy their tools; they say they used to be found; hooks for haymaking were not. I have known our boys to lay out 9s. on tools. "What potato ground we have Ls close to the house; it's more than 30 feet long, but 'taters, 'taters every year, they don't turn out very mnch. We can't afford to buy any more potatoes; when oura are out wc have to do without them. I have seven at home with me now. Last winter we got but a very little after we had our bread. We'd had a bag ol Sour, we gave ?3 for lt; that would last about three weeks. Shoes ls very dear; our little children's is 7s. or 8s., a man's ls 12s. Gd.; one of my boys doesn't wear out above one pair in the year, but they must bo proper good ones. I expect they'd wear them right out. and they wouldn't last without being soled and mended. That would be when they are shepherd's lads; after that they'd wear very much quicker." The shepherd's family get a little butcher's meat now and tben, but not from tho butcher. "Wo don't," s?id the shepherd's wife, "buy a 1 blt from Christmas to Christmas." This is how j they got It : "We sometimes get a bit of mut- I ton at 3d. a pound, when a giddy sheep is kill- ( ad off tho farm; lt ls good when sticked in ( elmo." Meat from the butcher comes only at [ Jhrlstmas. At other times "we live on pota- t ?cs, broad and pig meat, and are very thank- j ful if we can get a blt of pig meat; we often ( jit down to dry bread, fox harvest dinner ( ire send ont samo boiled- potatoes, a bit of j cabbage, and we put a blt of fat to tho pota- I oes. I don't know that butcher's meat ever j joes out to the harvest field. They drink I :ocoa at harvest. Wc never flavo a blt of j milk. They used to have what they called I :hickory, and we dranked a good bit of it. j But now it seems to have gone away. In the j ?venlng they sit down to what we'vo got, } sometimes a blt of bread; sometimes a bit of ] Dread, cheese and butter." The shepherd's 1 ,'amlly are housed and covered in this wise : j "Our third bedroom was put up the summer I >efore last. Before that time we had only two, ' ind wc used all of us to sleep in them; ut one 1 .Imo there was thirteen or fourteen of us. Ono . >f them is a tl dy I sh room; in tho other the j loor only opened for you to go in sideways, j 5own stairs we have only one room with a ] (replace, and wo have to dry all tho wet j slothes and sit there too. We have ono binti- J cet that was given us. Wo had one that wu ' cot from a man who came round; we paid for J t ls. a fortnight, we can't got enough money ! it one time to buy one." jj This witness said her husband's master was J i very good man; but (sho added,) "farm ?haps work so hard that they might as soon be transports.' They don't like being 'drove ibout' as they aro at farm work; they don't, enow what sort of work they may bo put to. t's slavish work, and I'vo heard many of tho leonie say they would go away if they could. , )ne of my sons is gone to America; and there's ji mr Jim, he says he'd bo away too if it wasn't r br his bad leg. They Uko to be good schol- ? tra, because it helps them to go away." printing. ?Sf T II E PRICE TELLS CHEAP PRINTING. CHEAP PRINTING. CHEAP PRINTING. CHEAP PRINTING. CH BAP PRINTING. OH SAP PRINTING.
