It ja, also true tiwiEvacuation Day did not witness the withdrawalof the la-at detachments of British regulara bonthe soil ol' the Thirteen Colonies. Qovernor'iIsland was OODUpted for a brief se,ison, and sev¬

eral poota in Maine weie retained for severalweeks. The retirement of tho red-coats fromthese final positions did not attract attention althe time, aad possesses ao historical Intere i.

The. Evacuation ot New-Yolk by the 1 latishforces n hundred years ap> this day is the l,i-tlandmark of thc American Revolution. Vii wedin the true relations which historic perspectivediscloses, it separates the heroic pei ind of roelatance to foreign tyraii'iy and Igpaaaloa from tincentury of National development mid paril'nprogress, which has matle American civili/atioithe marvel of the modern world.The New-York of 17*J3 oilers a som conti,,-!

to tho metropolis which in now preparing to cel¬ebrate thc one hundred Ih anniversary of Evucu_tion Day. The seven years of lt ritish otcu

pation had wrought a melancholy eh-BgS in idfortunes. A week after tim buttle of Loa-Jbland and the retreat of the American force:the Weat side of the city was devastated by linliom thu Hattory to St. Paul's. Two yearafterward there was mothal (lestrue)ive eonflitgration on the East aide. To these diausteii

were added commerrl.tl prostration, systematicneglect of municipal interest* under martial law,nnd startling losses in population, trade andinlluencc. Even the elements combined with

adverse circumstances to increase the sufferingsof the people ; for the winter of 1780 was one of

unprecedented severity, thc ice being bo thickin the rivers anti hailiOf that for weeks heavyteams crossed upon il from Staten Island nnd

(he Jeneya. Originally a centre of patrioticresistance to llritish misrule, New-York hadbeen deserted by thousands who sympathizedwith (he revolutionary Bteetiog of the 11,000 in

1770 or with thc operations of tho VipilanceCommittee of 1773. The protracted period of

Occupation naturally bred a spirit of ostenta¬

tious senility among Loyalists nnd habits of

sordid seltishiies- aiming tradespeople. So ob¬

noxious had the Tories made themselves lo hb-

erty-loving colonists that Sir Guy Carleton was

forced to poetpOM the evacuation for twenty-five days, in order to enable a thousand or more

refugees ta escape to Nova Scotia, lt was

therefore a forlorn and proetrata city thal wei-ooaaed Washfogtoa. Clinton and Knox and thc

Continental veterans from the Highlands on

QM day of the Evacuation. Its fame and its

fortunes bad been inpaired by seven years of

misgovernment, iiiilU.it> arrogance, bad tradeand tiaie awring treason.

ll is meet, therefore, that the metropolis.which reOOguiaeS Evacuation Day BB the BU-

lucine event of its history, should reflect, if onlyfor a Single day, upon the vicissitudes and suf-

fttringa of the New-York of the Kevolulion. On

laws aa (hose suggested le, Judge Barrett.There will probably also be a general concur¬

rence in his views as lo the .solemnization ofmarriages. The recognition and upholding ofInformal marriages based upon nure verbalagreements between the man and tho womandoubtless grew out of the disposition of thecollits io save offspring from the disgrace anddeprivations of illegitimacy.

Enan entering upon false or doubtful donesticrelations.What .ludge Harrell says of the abolition of

the divorce ansaaa tt thorp tha "partial di¬vorce"' has the support of the ablest legal andhistorical writers upon tin subject. Mr. Ban¬croft, tin historian, speaks of it aa "punishingthe innocent more (han the guilty." Maiqueen,tin English writer, considers it u uh u sort of11 insult rather than satisfaction to any man of

"ordinal, belinga and understanding." Mr.Bishop, in his work on " Marriage ami Divorce,"goes so far as to say that il ¦ may be deemed thou most corrupting devin BVOI imposed by seri-¦ ons natures on a blind timi pliant commun-

"Hy,*and to eaO t "this Hi-begotten monster.* of divorce o mensa et thoro, intuit- up ol pious'.doctrine and worldly stupidity," aud in an¬

other place, "this nuisance In the law."Thc real claaliiug of stnt-nieiit over Judge

Banett's views, we apprehend, will be in re¬

gard to legislation affecting absolute divorce.Probably a very large majority frill be unwill¬ing to yield the opinion that infidelity to themarriage vow should continue to constitute theonly ground for absolute divorce. Nor will theyconcede that in this aspect of the divorce ques¬tion they are illogical, or necessarily regard mar¬riage from the ¦ sacramental" or religious point.Thc legislator may well say: " I do regard mar-¦ ringo as a civil contract, both in the making" of it and its dissolution. But the chief consid-" eration for thc making of that contract is the'. iitlelity of tin- husband to the wife and of thou wife to thc husbauil. So far is it the chief" consideration in thc minds of all worthy men* and women ; so far does it transcend all other¦ considerations, that it may justly bc said to ex-" elude all others. Whcu, therefore, that con-

"siderution has failed, thc contract is broken"and tho marriage should be dissolved.and" then only."Thc question, of course, still remains : What

is best for society i Shall divorce still oontiimoto bc allowed for tho single cause; or shallother acts, such as those mentioned by JudgeBarrett, be recognized as additional infractionsof thc marriage contract t Hero lies perhapsthe chief significance of Judge Barrett's argu¬ment. This is a problem with which thenest Legislature will certainly be confronted.How deepaeated and widespread is thefeeling of anxiety and interest in the mat¬ter has been made manifest by tho gen¬eral expressions of opinion hy the press andpulpit since the discussion was begun by ThkTrihi nt., and the recent alarming increase inthc munbee of divorcee waa demonstrated.There is no oilier subject which so urgently de¬mands leg-dative action just now and that so

nearly concerns all homes. If the Legislaturewill take it up and deal with it iu the broadspirit suggested by Judge Barrett we may ho-x-much for the purification of social life.

A MAN1-8IDED QUESTION.Thc question, what la the most Important

branch of study, is not likely to be answeredconclusively', though many authorities are re¬

solved in I heir own ninds thal each Of them hasproved his view of tba case. Mr, Matthew Ar¬nold has just given his reasons for advocatingthe study of Greek ami Latin. ProfeaaOT Hux-1 y luis made a strong argument in favor of

physical science. Professor Max Mftllor, inhislectures on "What India caa teach us." ibu-not hesitate to express the opinion that thc-linly of Sanskrit is more profitable than anyother. And Pope Leo has declared, with allHie weight of his high tillite, that WttOCVClwishes io become a true scholar mu *t burn themidnight oil over the folios of St. ThomasAquinas and thc Scholastic Theology. Themodern languages are preferred by maa; com¬

petent judges, and ti,eir reasons for the pu lei-cine ure certainly not to be lightly eon-

teiniied. Hut when all these diverse opinion*-have been tillered, it remains to be noted, as a

fact possessing signiflcaaeo, that each advocatechampions the line nt study he bitnet lt has pur¬sued.3No'.v it is thar that when nun who have bc-co ne distinguished declare their conviction thatmoy owe their success to a particular line of

study, the fact, if indeed it be a fact, and not an

illusion, is import.int. And there can be no

question that Mr. Matt-gW Arnold, and Tro¬ll-->>i Huxley, and Pope Leo, and ProfessorMax .Muller, and Mr. Charles Francis Adams.ire each anti all m< ii of distinction. They have,also without doubt, helped thenselves to thisdistinction bj tin* studies which they now ap¬prove. Physical science has made the reputa¬tion of I'rolessoi* Huxley; scholastic theologyhas moulded the coin se of Pope Leo ; belles-lettit-s have occupied thegre.it talents of Mr.Matthau Arnold; Oriental languages and liter¬ature have engaged the attention of Mai: Mul¬ler. Hut all these eminent limn approach thcconsideration of the question before Us lintierobvious and almost disqualifying limitations.They an all. thal is to say, masters ol their own

specialty, hut they are none of them at all thor¬oughly acquainted with those studies whichthey undertake to depreciate. Nothing, indeed,can be more natural than that any tuan shouldpieter the studies to whicli he has devoted him¬self. Ii is inevitable that he should do so. Hutbefore the world can accept any opinion uponthia bead ns final, ll must discovei tome man

possessing an equally thorough knowledge olscience and belles huies au.t < bieulali ni umlscholasticism and modem laaguages, for so cn

cyclopa-dic a genius could alone be competentto institute un intelligent comparison betweenthe rival brant Ins of education. I'ntil we findso rounded and complete a genius we must ac¬

cept with cautious reservation all these one¬sided views of a many-sided question. And itwill help us to form a correct Judgment as to

the real value of such opinions if we observehow even the most candid specialists are in¬sensibly narrowed by their specialism. Thu,-,Mr. Arnold talks of Greek arl and literature aa

though there Imil been no world behind them.Vet it is now very well known that the Greekswen- liberal borrowers, and thal we must go Carbehind them if we desire to lind I lie oi igins ottheir science and their literature. And to in¬timate thal weean learn more of hum in iiatuicfruin the Greeks and Unmans than from our

contemporaries, ns Mr. Arnold seems to say, isto pul archaology above sociology ; tbe deadabove the tiring, thal late say, os a guide tomanifestations of life. Such ideaa are reallynot serious, no matter willi what authoritythey are advanced, yel equally indefensibleaasertiona and Implications can be lound in thothesis ,if jill who champion special courses ofstudy.Probably the question, which is the beat

course of study, cannot be answered, becauseim man living P088C0BCS the breadth and ful¬ness ol' knowledge to answer it comprehen¬sively. Bul the relatively beatcourse of studyfor every individual will always be thal withwhich his Datural tendencies are most in sym¬pathy; that whieh the most easily engages hisattention, enlists __\ energies and develops hiaIntellectual powers. Ami whatever this course

ol study may be, it may bc trusted, when so ap¬plied, to evolve from tha student the very bestrOBUlta Of which ha la capable.

The polygamous marriages continue in Utah lapits of Congress, and the Gentile papers succeedww and then la learning the facts.
