jluc ufiuifuiíu!, wil mei in taaie cuuvention at Bay City last Wednesday, nominatfcl Maj. Allen B. Morse, of Ionla, for associate Jnatloe of the supreme court; and Chas. R. Whitman, of Ypsilanti, for regent of tlie university, leayingtheother regent (nr the greenbackers, wlio met at Lansing the same day, to til 1 in. Which they did, and placed Moses W. Field, of' Detroit, upon the ticket, thus giving the people another dose of fusión. PROHIBITION. On the same day the prohibltlonists met al Lansing, and "made up in enthusiasm what they lacked In nuinbers," so said. Failing to receive favorable response to oveitures which looked toward the uniting of all foices against the common enemy, the republicans, they broke out in an entiiely unexpected spot, and by the aid of a few republican lawyers and the gentleman himself, put the Hon. Judge Thomas M. Cooley upon their ticket for associate justice of the supreme court. For regents they clung to their own faith, and srlected Mr. L. ö. Ellis, ot Manlstef, and Hev. F. B. Cressey, of Detroit, to beur the banner to i glorious defeat. A VERT sensible and Just resolution was that pasfcd by the evangelical association of Orejón, composed of ministère, which dtclured that ttiey would not perforin tlie marriage ceremony for a person who had been divorced for any but the scriptural cause, and Id no case for the offmidii.g party. Now take the power to solemnize maniates out of the hands of the justices of the peace, and the protest may be of some avail. By the way, the suggestion made by Judge Joslyn of this circuit, rceently, that the law be ehanged so as to mike it unlawful for any divorced party to niariy within tliree yearsaftertlie decree had been granted, is a wlse one, and ought to be adopted . We cali attontlon to thls significant faet, which can be verified by refcrenceto Tuesday morniug'g dailics. Twenty-one studenU graduated f rom tlio Detroil Medical College on Tuesday evening.
