INSANITY A CAUSE OF DivoRcR.-An effort Is
being made, we perceive, to resuscitate the bill
which was introduced into the Assembly of this
State making insanity cause Of divorce between
man and wife, but which fell through In that body.
There has been large quantity Of Ink used In dis.
cusslng this question pro and con but the oppo-
nents of the measure, backed as they were by the
moral sense Of the community, succeeded IN pre-
venting Its passage. Not satisfied with tho result,
its friends are exerting themselves to take 1t up
again, and have 1t passed, il possible, during the
present session of the Legislature.
We have refrained from saying anything on thu
subject, because we were satisfied in our mind
that the community would not tolerate the project;
but now, that there Is an effort made to revive the
scheme, and carry into effect If possible, we can
not but throw our influence In the scale of what
we believe is propriety, and denounce the attempt
to nullify one OF the hottest contracts for such
cause. To modify the law in this way, would be
to take step towards destroying the marriage
tie entirely II this project were effected, others
would spring up which would still further impair
it. The end would be, dissolution of marriage
entirely, and state Of society which is dreadful
to contemplate.
Now we ask the frie nds Of the proposed mea-
sure if they can consistently urge this measure
We have no doubt that many suppose 1t would be of
benefit in certain cases but for one case ia which
it would have this effect, there would be hundred
in which 1t would work wrong. Will they then
push it! One thing, however, is certain-the
moral feeling of the community is opposed to 1t,
and heavy responsibility will attach to all who
favor it, In the event of Its becoming law, which,
however, We do not anticipate. We trust that we
shall Rot have occasion to refer to the subject
again, and hope that 1t will be consigned to OBJ
IivIon, fate which it well merits

sve scale, which had been prevented, revealed, or
detected by the Argus eyed police OF New York or
Phlladelphia. We remember that heroic period
Of our police history very well but since th-n,
some curious revelations, some unpublished cor
respondence, had come down to US, of secret
management in those wonderful revelations. Ia
fact, It Is generally supposed that In those heroic
t'mer, the ancient system Of police, like some Of
The systems formerly existing In Europe, owned
and controlled great majority Of the agents who
set the thieves, robbers, and burglars at work
against the banks and the community in general.
simply to enable them to get the large rewards,
and pass before the world as the very conservaors
of society and civilization. Of course, there Is
nothing OF this In the present system Of po,ce but
there Is. at the same time, some greatness thai
almost looks like hoaxing.
We should like to see the conspiracy to extor
$4,000 from VIM. B. Astor, probed to the bottom,
and bit lower, If possible.
