Etta Jane, July IT.?Mr. Editor:
Wo wish to correct a mistake which
occurred in our last week's, letter
and which does not fully represent
us or our views. The mistake was
ours?not yours, and we assume all
the responsibility. In rewriting the
articlo we omitted ono word interlined
in tho original manuscript which
did the work.
jQBRrf
In speaking of ministers, in ig st
rites, notaries an J other officials
who simply pronouuec the ni:iiri?ge
ceremony in the case of minors, we
did not intend to mako the sweeping
charge that they all sh mUl be in ihe
chain gang, unless they, in some
way, aided. abctte;! or connived at
such unlawful luarringe.
Wo g.vc the paragr iph as it should
have appeared iu print, and by its
sen?imunt we are ready to be judged,
ilore it :

Now we know full wel1, or bcli"ve.
that goo I designing officials of all
r>iiiks iuvo pronounced the rnirriage

to the contract when they had
the hc.it of motives in so doing.
They perhaps know that the par
tics were running away, were under

sooivr *o:n" one would "tie the knot"
the sooner they w-?u! 1 return home,
and with that view and fe ling inno- :

they had no legal right to do. These
are the fellows wc are striking at,
