STRANGE STORYOF DIVORCE THE DE BEAUFFREMONT SUIT ENDED ruscts bibesco' roftmoar betohc the jWS OF FBAXCE THE CODE AS ITS OOJrEQCECES WHAT FRESIT COMPLI- CATIOXS MAT ARISE A MARRIAGE THAT I JtOT A MAREIAOE. Paris. Friday, Oct. 29, 18T5. yearly all the Journal have diecaseed the IP of Mme.

De Beaffremot with Prince Ooore Bibeaeo. And some curious legal Mist bare been rUed in connection with tbi tffuir. But before proceeding to extreme in the nutter the most eminent legal minds of Europe were consulted, and Prince George bad the best of advice in the matter. But the Trench Government is greatly embarrassed by th act, for wbile tbe Catholic are 'pushing it to take some steps for tile defense of the Vatican, which has been defied in this ease as well as tbe French code, any action hostile to tbe lady would pre rise to a diplomatic incident, and probably a protest from tbe Cabinet ot St Petersburg as well as that of Berlin. I is curious to exami ne the position of Mna.D Bibesco, as we must now call her, from the French point of view.

After a struggle of Mrea years Mme. de Beauifremont was separated from her husband, and aetennined to Bjarry Prince George Bibesco. She first ex-, hausted every means for carrying out her wishes la Franco. These failing her, she re-Bouacedthe nationality Acquired by her mar-ri2Saadhed herself naturalized as a Saxon. Sbs the obtained a divorce from the tribunal of Dresden.

This acquired, she could proceed at once with her civil minim to Bibesco. the legislation of Holds-WaQachia, to whicn country he belongs, permittiag divorce. Then came tbe religions eeremony. The Pope of Borne refused to sanc-tios the mar: lag and the lady then abjured her religion, joining the Greek Catholic Church to which her husband belonged. Hating been baptized in bis religion, the Greek Pope, residing st Dresden, himself a Russian, was ready to perform the ceremony if the Czar gave bis eon-seat.

Tbe Emperor of Russia made no objections, as everything was perfectly legal so far as tbe laws of bis country were concerned, and tbe religious marriage was performed. Then another civil marriage took place at the Walla-cbiea Legation in Paris, in presence of tbe representative of tbe Czar, who signed tbe contract But notwithstanding all this the lady is not married at all in France, though ber husband is. Tbe position of the Comtesse Valentine Carats de Chimay, late Princess de Beauffre-most, before the French code is very peculiar. This code does not admit the principle of divorce, nor the possibility of a second marriage daring the life of the first husband. 3.

The woman, even when separated legally from bed sod board, cannot bring suit at law without tb authorization of her husband, unless in certain special cases, after having fulfilled certain formalities. 3. The French tribunals claim that alone have the right to decide upon toe civil status of a French citizen, and that, therefore, the action of the Dresden tribunal is null. 4. The decree of 1811, always ta force, does not permit any Frenoh citizen to have himself naturalized in another country without tbe authorization of the Chief ot State.

This authorization is accorded bv letters patent sisie out by the Garde des Sceaux, signed by the band ot the President, countersigned by the competent Ministers, inserted in the Butt-tm 4m Loit, and registered in the oourt of the district of the last domicile of the party concerned. None of these conditions were complied-with by time. De' BaaufEremont, and hence, in so far as her second anion Is con-terafd, she is amenable to the French laws. Aad it is the same throughout the East and ether places where the Consular Corps of France baa special jurisdiction. This state of things has a number of legal consequence, the chief of which are 1.

From today Prince de Beauifremont can demand the piardisnibip of tbe two girls confided to the ears of the mother by the courts, even though they voluntarily elect to remain with the mother, or fly to her for refuge. 2. The separa- tion of body does not authorize cohabitation, or common life, with a third, and benoe there is ground for prosecution for 3. A criminal action for bigamy can also.be brought; sad this authorizes a demand for extradition from all countries where treaties are' in ioroe, ease the lady take refuge in them. 4.

In Oriental countries the Fren eh Consular agents wou'd-be obliged to act the moment orim- isal charges are entertained in France. If any children are bora from this anion, with Prince Bibesco, they will have the name of De Beaufiremont. unless the Prince gets relief torn the courts, as he doubtless would, and then these children will be illegitimate and cannot share in the aaocession of their mother. All tbe property that tbe Princess could or Aught inherit from Prmoe Bibesco, in, case of his death, would go to the: two children of M. Beaufiremont.

7. AU tbe clause of the mar- nageeontractaUh tbe latter are stl in force in French Jurisdiction. 8. If by chance the Priaeass should make up with her first husband be oould get an order from the courts to force to return to his domicile, and Prince Bibesco would -no legal remedy -o ground for opposition.) 9. Finally, vbile tbe Princess can be panned for adultery bar husband cannot be touched, but should Princ de Beauffremont ever be caught in Sax-wT afterward he oould be there pursued for Matempt of court.

These consequences might pe considerably, extended upon some minor souts, but enough has been give a to show fee legal aspects of this curious ease. Beyond 1-iestion Mme. de Beauffremont baa placed herself hi position of great diffloulty. but who say that the is wrong tor after what was Slid of ber relations with Prince Bibesco she to marry him or pass for bis mistress. The religious question is not lees delicate.

The benediction having been given by a Pnest of the Church of Rome, the Church, well as the French Code, claims that liens are indissoluble. The ceremony at tesden is counted as nothing, for no matter tuaj Greek Popes perform a sort of cere- the first marriage ia binding nntil the Poo that site in the Vatican dissolves in the God what was contracted ta bis name. tbe exceptional position of lime, de Beauffreoaont at this tim examined from a legal point view, and at Reseat I do not ar to touch upon its boarinympoo private and c'-aI km, a domain with which we bava Ktin to da.

It ia not vet known who tbe parties are that were indicted yesterday.

The court in pronouncing sentence took occasion to remark that hs had no doubt of the defendant's guilt, sod that tbe conviction was lost and aeeerved.

Joyce made a long and vehement speech. He claimed that whatever ac he bad committed he was guilty of no criminal intent. Be thought the imprisonment imposed upon him waa severe. He did not expect more than two years. NONE 6F HEX ICO WANTED.

THE RUMOR THAT THE UNITED STATES ARE ABOUT TO ACQUIRE MEXICAN TERRITORY FALSE. Washington, Nov. 13. The recently revived rumor that toe United States are about to acquire another slice of Mexican territory, by purchase or otherwise, is without foundation in fact. Mr.

Marisea), tbe Minister of Mexico, being inquired of in regard to tbe matter, declares in unequivocal terms that no proposition has been made to bis Government looking to such acquisition. and that no negotiations tor it are or have been pending. If made, tbe proposition woutd not be entertained, aa no measure of tbe cbatacter could receive tbe assent of any portion of tbe people of Mexico, and its consideration would be fatal to the continuance in power of any Administration. The rumor has probably grown ont of tbe private, unofficial, and verbal opinion expressed by members of the United State Commission to inquire into the outrages on tbe Texan border, to the effect that robbery and Indian raids from Mexico into Texas oould be stopped only by tbe acquisition of a portion of Northern Mexico for the readjustment of the boundary.

IBS DELAWARE ASD BOVSD BROOK RAILROAD.

Trenton, N. Nov. 13. The argument before tb Chancellor for a preliminary injunction to restrain th Delaware and Bound Brook Bailroad Company from erecting a bridge across the Delaware waa commenced to-day. Attorney General Vanatta contended that tb Delaware and Bound Brook Bailroad Company 'a claim to pot a bridge across th Delaware at Tardley-vitle, Penn-, near Trenton, was not valid, because tbe Legislature of New -Jersey and Pennsylvania bad not passed a concurrent sot.

He insisted tbat the General Bailroad Act did not coatain any section empowering any corporation to build a bridge across tbe Delaware. Tbe bridge is an obstruction to navigation, anda therefore a nuisance. The argument will be continued on Tneeday. Messrs. Williamson and Browning are on the side of tbe complainant.

Cortlandt Parker is also for tbe injunction. MASKED BURGLARS SEAT TO AUBURS. Utica. N. Nov.

Washisgtox, Nov.

11 The report of Commissioner Bnrdette, of tbe General Land Office, contains the following statement ot the business of hia bureau during tbe fiscal year ending June 30. 1879 Disposals of public lands by ordinary Acre rash tales. 743.061 Military bounty iand warrant locations under varioua acts 137,000 Homestead entries 2,358.057 Timber culture entries 464.870 Agricultural College scrip locations 9.432 Certified to railroads 3,107.643 Lands approved to States as swamp 47.721 Certified for agricultural colleges 22.321 ertlfied for common schools 142.3.8 Certified for universities. 16,454 Internal Improvement locations approved to States 8,614 Sioux half-bleed scrip locations 11,181 Total 7.070.271 Ditposala for previous year 9.530.872 Decrease of disposals 2,400,601 Total cash receipts noder various bes da.

accompanied in some places by unusual drought in localities most inviting to homestead and timber-culture settlements, to which causes mnst be added tbe falling on" of immigration and the general business depression. In the Judgment of tbe Commissioner there will be a Bteady diminution in the fnture in this class of entries, because in tbe locations most desirable for such settlement on account of the fertility of the soil and character of climate, ths lands have largely paastd to private ownership. Tbe building of railroads bss induced settlement to tbe full, aod perhaps beyond, profitable marketing of products. Tbe purchase of this land in private ownership will thus lie stimulated by ihe lack of desirable land for settlement which is now owned by tbe Government. The report discusses the problem of the management of tbe mountain timber lauds, snd points out many difficulties and many ends to be attained, without presenting a definite method of solution.

This land is not surveyed and sold nnder existiug laws, and settlers and miners who need timber are necessarily trespassers on tbe domain of tbe United Sta'es. No attention is paid to the preservation of a proper proportion of tbe timber, which ia necessary to prevent the too rapid melting of snows which supply the mountain alroams, which in their natural condition are gradually fed throughout tbe Summer. Timber on the Western mountains ia slow of growth, and when ouce cnt off may never be renewed. The dee true -tion of tbe mountain forests will greatly disturb the conditions of the water supply to settlements along the streams on the plains below. One suggestion is that tbe Government shall retain the title to these lands and fell the timber under ccrta regulationa and restrictions.

This plan is dismissed as impracticable, because it would be impossible to enforce the necessary conditions. The sale of the lands outright to the miners and settlers near is suggested aa better policy, because these people wonld be interested in protecting themselves in their methods of using the timber and cutting it away. Tbe ComoMS-sioner recommends a change in the Homestead laws, because of the new conditions unier which the law operates west of ths one hundredth meridian. The legislation heretofore has been controlled and referred to tbe conditions of the arable halt of ths continent. West of tbe one hundredth meridian to tbe Cascade Ranee the country presents very different conditions fir settlement.

The geological, climatic, and physical conditions are alt differ-ent. Agriculture, as understood ia tbe valley of th Mississippi, haa no existence. Irrigation ia necessary to production. Only tn limited areas can crops be secured without artificial methoda of watering the soil nnder a system which would Justify large expenditure and insure tbe utilisation of all the water reaching tbe Valley from tbe mountain streams, and but a mere fraction of tbe whole area can be made fit for tillage. Homestead lands cannot be honestly acquired except ia the inundated valleys of a few mountain streams.

Tbat cultivation and improvement required, which stand in the place of price, are impossible, and if attempted are wi'hout result. For the vast area of land arable by irrigation, sales should be authorized in accordance with the necessities of the situation. Especially is this desirable along the large streams, where association of capital is necessaiy for profitable tillage. Much larger portions of this vast region are unfit for pasturage. The conditions are here also different from tbe fertile belt.

The quantity of land required for tbe pasturage of any given number of cattle is very greatly in excess of tbe amount required in tbe fertile region ot tbe continent. The excellence of the nastnrago consists in the fact that the grasses, wnicb are of slow growth and thin, retain their nutritive qua' 1 ties throughout tbe year, and tbe range is limited only by tbe possibility of reaching suitable wintering places. Tbe system which restricts the sales to quarter seel ion a in fact, withholds from sal the largest remaining class of publio lauds. Here, too, as in the case of tbe mountain timber lands, tbe herders are compelled to trespass on tbe public domain, and conflicting claims of ruhta to range will arise hich will hereafter prove very troublesome. The Commissioner gives this question full discussion, and concludes tbat both private and publio interests demand tbat tbe body of surveyed land Within the "Central Plateau." ao called, not embraced in tbe first bottom of tbe streams, a nd commonly known In the region where situated as tb taeta land, be offered at the eartieat possible date for cash purchase, and be re after that portion remaining unsold be made subject to private entry sttl 25 per sere.

The recommendation of the Commissioner is emphatic tbat the policy be adopted of resuming tbe public offering of land west of the 100th meridian, embraced in tbe tmeia or table and pasturage lands. Tbe report will contain an important resume of tbe history of the grants of public lands to railroad corporations, and will be accompanied by maps showing all such grants. It will also be accompanied by rain chart and table for the desert portion of tb continent, in this report for' tb first time in a public document Commissioner Burdett gives aa intelligent discussion of tbe new problems of national development in the western half of the Continent.
