We understand that The late mono
maniaeal Legislature =, Iowa City reeeiv.
ed some very complimentary notices FROM
the lobby Members. The Lobby Legis
AZURE was composed chiefly Of members
Of the Bench and The Bar, attached to The
Supreme Court. Al one lime not single
bill could be passed Tor the incorporation
Of an Academy. Religious Society. Lyce-
nm. or Fire Company by our law makers
without having attached TO it that genuine
loco foca tail, y'rlep, repeating clause.
To .how the ahsurdl;y of this feature
OF modern legislation. some member ol
the Lobby introduced bill granting seve-
ral Divorces to persons therein naaed -
Another member offered an amendment
in The usual form, authorizing any future
Legislature 10 repeal said law. The
amendment was carried unanimously and
the bill passed in tina, shape. Bat this
was not The best Off, Another bill was
introduced ny q subsequent Legislature
repeating The above law. and after receiv-
ing in it. turn the addition Of the usual
tell. il was passed unanimously. On the
superstition that during the in.errcgnum OF
the Two Legislatures the parties had
scveraly mated with others more congen-
ial to their choice, as is usually The case.
Nha. mixing up Of spouses and their
better halves there would be-! Their titles
to each other would be far from CLEAR
and indisputable." Every one mus. see
the absurdiiy Of introducing the aforesaid
clause, They would proclaim i, to be
even unconstitutional. But il is no more
so in the one case than in the other. II
the Legislature grants certain privileges to
individuals, no future Legislature has a
right to abrogase these privileges, 50 long
as the parties thus favored fulfil their
engagements. II they have they have as
good Alright to attach the repeating clause
TO divorce bill as they have to any ether.
The Lobby, composed As j, was of gentle
men Of both parties, 50 decided un,n-
mou.ly.
The above action was tantamount to
"kiling two birds with one slone."-
They no. only cut of tina, tail, but they
also showed the absolute folly of the
Legislature in granting divorces. Ill our
former legislatures had declined interior.
ing with man and wife in these matters,
but our last Legislature took upon itself to
be wiser than their predecessors. and
granted some dozen or twenty divorces.
We hope the we'll timed ridicule Of the
Lobby may deter future Legislatures from
adding such absurd tells to bills, and
cutting the cords tina! legally bind man and
woman together.
