THE NEXT LEGIsLATURE.-The tenth session Of
the Legislature of this State is soon to convene,
and we have the gratifying knowledge that the
financial condition of the State is far better than
could have been reasonably expected, considering
how matters stood but a few years ago This
being the case, aud consequently one source OF
legislation which has in the past diverted the
attention of our legislators being partially St
of, it is to be hoped that many statutes which
have for years almost disgraced our State should
receive the serious attention of our legislators
No State has made more charitable provisions Tor
the pecuniary misfortunes of its citizens than
ours. Our constitution makes it obligatory upon
the legislators to provide liberal homestead
exemption which has been done; ample provision
is made for redemption under execution sales, as
also exemptions from execution; Notwithstanding
all this there has been for years in corruptlng
oneration an Insolvent Debtors law, which is
little better than an inducement to the commission
of frauds and perjures; we have hardly read a
weekly paper in the State which does not contain
in every issue either an insolvent debtor S notice
| to his creditors, that he is petitioning for the
DISCHARGE Of his debts, or the proceedings OF a
court in which insolvent debtors are discnarged
indeed, Of so frequent occurrence has this pro,
ceedino become we venture the estimate, that
were all the discharges Of insolvents in all the
courts of the State collected together, their
number would equal that OF onehalf the popula-
tion of this State Debts contracted, and legal
and moral obligations incurred, at one fell oath
are obterated, and discharges obtained with
| such facility, that in many instances the knowl-
edge of the existence Of this law and the easy
manner of obtaining its benefits we fear have
induced the more reckless portion of our citizens
to contract debts with view to their ultimate
discharge in this manner In view Of the many
provisions to shield and protect the unfortunate
by our other statutes, the time has come when
confidence and stability should be infused into
the dealings and business relations Of our citizens
Several attempts have been made to repeal en-
trely this unwhoesome law, which have failed.
If nothing better can be done, let our Legislature
at its next session so alter and modify this statute
as to enable none to be discharged but those who
have by real misfortune been forced to the humll-
iaton of taking the insOlvent debtors oath.
Several Of our Executive messages have recon-
mended this course, and it is astonishing that
previous Legislatures have been deaf to the sound
and logical arguments which have invariably
accompanied these wise suggestions.

plains why divorce applications are so common

An attractive marred woman arrives here with
her husband, and she is instantly surrounded by
band of heartess admirers, who are only in
famed by her personal charms, and animated by
mere animal instincts but they surround the
poor moth with blaze of adulation, and artful-
ly accompany their professions of regard with
ill-conceived inuendoes against the husband,
which either gradually weans her affection from
him, or imbues her with spirit of vanity and
desire for display, which the husband is unable
to crafty. A vile and degrading system of es-
pionage is then established over the husband, and
his every act distorted or magni6ed intoa crime,
which is carefully, but artfully, retailed to the
wife, either directly or through some convenient
and INSCRIPTIONS female go-between. After e.
nough Of this kind OF evidence hes been collected
to make out a case, the deluded wife is informed
that there is no trouble in procuring divorce

THE STEAMER FULTON Cry SUNK AND A TOTAL
WRECK-Itoelre Lives Destroyed--Loss about $50 OOO
AS the steamer Fulton City, Capt. Brickle, on her
way from Pittsburg to this city or st. Louis was
passing Burlington Island about five o'clock last
Thursday morning, just at the foot of the island
she struck stump, knocking hole in her bottom
and causing her to fill rapidly so much so that the
cabinpassengers barely had time to leap from their
beds and hurry to the hurricane roof. She went
down In few minutes-some say three or four-in
fifteen feet, which nearly covered her decks
Twelve persons on deck--eight men, two women
and two children-were drowned. 1t is supposed
that they lying asleep in their berths, and the
boat sank suddenly that the first ntimation they
had of danger was the rushing upon them of the
water, from which, in their narrow limits they had
opportunity to escape. We could not learn the
names of any of the lost, but believe nearly all of
them were foreigners.
The boat was new, having been built less than
twelve months ago, and owned by Captain Brickle
and Captain Martin. She was loaded chiefly
with iron, but had considerable -four and other
freight, all of which was lost Had it not been for
the iron many more lives would, no doubt, have
been destroyed, as the boat would have careened,
and the cabin slid off.
we have no data to judge of the loss, but con-
ciude, as many OF the passengers were deprived
less than S3O,O00. The boat, we understand, is
fully insured, which is fortunate, as she can not be
raised
The cabin passengers were relieved from their
position on the roof, whittier they had gone for
safety, by the Melnotte, on her way down, and
arrived here by that boat yesterday evening.
The officers, we are informed, behaved with be-
coming cooness and to this is attributed the saving
of the lives of many Of the passengers. . -

them, lone woman, had her pocket picked of

had little child with her, and her anguish at being

was heart-rending. Her manner soon attracted the
attention of Conductor SHIELDING of the Central

the abolition OF serfdom involves. Nearly half the
population of Russia is in state of serfdom, and
there are thousands of Russian mobiles who have nc
other resource than what they derive from the

serfs, owning neither houses nor land Nearly fifty
thousand mobiles possess small domains, with from
one to twenty peasants-the average may be taken
at hfteen peasants Both serf and lord are in
