HoUsE-Rfpo,ts 0f Cammittse.-By Mr. Colby
Of Hartland, for the Judiciary committee, IN favor
Of the bill relating TO divorce, 1.-THE bill makes
habitual intoxcation, the joining of any sect that
professes 10 believe that the relation of husband
and wife is unlawful, or a refusal to cohabit for
three years, sufficient grounds for divorce.
The bill was supported by Messrs Field Of New
fame Colby of Hartland, and Child Of Hydepark,
and opposed by Messrs Myers Of Jamaica, Gray
of Coventry, and Stoddard Of Ferrisburgh.
Mr. Gleed Of Morristown moved 20
amend so that the bill would read 'or refuse
without justifable cause to cohabit for the space
Of three years." which was agreed to.
Mr. Robinson of Highgate, opposed the passage
Of the bill, Mr. Pingry Of Weathersheld moved
to amend BY adding to the bill the words "No di-
vorce shall be granted on the application ot the
guilty party" which was carried.
Nr Allen Of Rutland moved to amend the bill
by inserting provision that when either hus-
band or wife shall became drunkard after marri-
age it shall be ground for granting divorce to
the other party.
Mr. Denison Of Roysltcn called attention to
imperfections of thc bill which would lead TO dl-
ficulties and perplexities, and avoWed his oppo-
sition TO the bill.

Aox1rELIER, Oct. %, lsCo.

Dsar F,ss Press
The most earnest and interesting
discussion Of the session, thus far, came up this
morning in the House on the question Of the third
reading of Mr. Fields Bill relating to divorce.
The Bill provides that:
"A divorce from the bonds Of matrimony nay
be granted where either Of the parties is an habit
ual drunkard; or shall have joined any religious
sec. or society which processes to believe the
lation Of husband and wife unlawful; or refuses to
cobsbit with such ether. for the space of three
years"
1t was opposed as granting divorce upon new
Grounds. and grounds which we're calculated to
endaprer the sacredness AMI Importance Of the
marriage relation, and also as likely to be attend
ed with many practical difficulties in it. operation
a. for example, in determining wha. Is to be re-
garded as habitual drunkenness"
On the other hand, it was eontended that it was
almost precisely the same as laws which have been
found necessary and expedient in Massachusetts,
and New Hampshire; that in all cases contempla-
ted in the Bill the great objects of the marriage
contract were in fact nulliHed and that the hap
piness and best good Of the injured parties de-
manded divorce.
Several amendments were offered, but one Of
material Importance which provided tina. the hab-
itual drunkenness which should be ground for d.
voree, should hare become iaJdual after marriage
the significance of which, young ladies who may
be disposed to look with favor upon the idea Of
] l. H. l.
vicious men, would do well to consider. Pending
this amendment the House adjourned, and at this
point the subject will be resumed probably to-rror
ro,r forenoon. 1t is really measure of much pub
lie interest, and will call out considerable further
! discussion
hardly believe it will become g law. Two
or three other bill. in regard to Marital con-
tracts are before the Legislature, and one in par

woman her "aunt's son or uncle's son"

THE SUPREME COURT.

It certaioly may be set down to the credit
Of Vermont for consancy, that through
trrty fire successive annual elections by the
Legislature, they have retained in Office one
Of the Judges upon the Supreme Bench. The
additional fact (Which is utterly incompro-
hensible and in fact incredible to politi-
clans Of other States,) that he has been,
throughout that time, opposed in politics to
Predominant Party in the State, makes
t,e case no less remarkable Judge Rel
.eld was first elected in 1885 In 1852 he
,acceeded Judge Royce in the chief justice
ship. Recently it has been understood that
he had accepted lucrative offer from the
eminent firm Of law publishers, Messrs.
Little d Brown. Of Boston, to prepare some
law books for the press, and that he would
not be a candidate for reelection
The Legislature accordingly on Welnes-
day elected Judge Poland in his place,-a
promotion which is entirely in accordance
with the precadents, and rendered suitable
ifprecedents if had been lacking, by Judge
Poland's eminent fitness for the place
The election Of Hon. AsAHEL PECK for the
vacant judgeship Is, Of course. gratifying to
his fellow townsmen of Burlington, and Is
the more honorable to himself, from the
fact that the three Judges last elected, in
previous years. had been taken from this
side the mountain, and that other portions Of
the State on that account claimed the honor
for their own men. Judge Peck viii not
be altogether new in the duties Of his post
When, in lS49, the State was divided into
four judicial circuits he was chosen Judge Of
the 81 circuit. and filed the office for eight
years with high credit. At the re-organiza-
ton Of the Judiciary in 1886, the circuit
iudgeships were abolished, and Judge Peck
retired to private practice, now again t. lie
honored by an elevation to the Supreme
Bench As a sound lawyer and an impartial
iurIst he has already an enviable reputation,
and his selection for this position now con
lcrred upon him cannot fail to commend it
self to the favor Of the lar and the people Of
the State.
The supreme Court is now of one political
complexion, the six Judges being sound
Republicans.
