No MORE DIvoRCEs.-The Washington
Territory Legislature have "Resolyed" not
to grant any divorces the ensuing winter
A Memorial has also passed both Houses
praying Congress to amend the Territorial
Organic Act so as to deprive the Legislature
of the power to grant divorces. The Act
will, no doubt, be SO amended the present
session of Congress. Persons who have an
eye on prospective matrimonial alliances, had
better consider we'll their chances of making
permanent and agreeable matches, before
they take the final STEP as procuring divor-
ces hereafter is likely to be difficult mat
ter We think this step of our Legislature
good one, and mainly for the reason that
it will induce proper consideration on the
part of those who are Sin the Market" to
form no 'entangling alliances with the
view of getting divorce in case matri-
mony might not prove as pleasant as ex-
pected 1t will not only induce greater pre-
caution before marriage but it will also have
a tendency to Cancellation in domestic broils
where heretofore in some cases, the first
thing thought of was relief by the easy
means of divorce. And, any way, it seems
to be subject that should be left entirely
with the civil courts, where all the testimony
in these cases, pro and con, can be heard
and passed upon. 1t not unfrequently hap
pens that divorces are granted in legislative
bodies where the plea of but one party is
heard, and when the testimony is Of the
most trivial character.

We learn that in many localities government
officers and others are endeavoring to foree Vance
tickets on employees and detailed men.
Such are some Of the means employed to fcoerce
the people out Of their votes.
Gov. Vance set the example himself, by spotting
men engaged in State business for being against
him, and by ordering them 10 be discharged and
turned over to Camp Hafmes This was done in
Ra'eigb, and the fact Is well known here. The
Governor or the employer who is not willing that
men shall they please, but who endeavors to
frce them to vote certain way, is "a tyrant, and
does not deserve to breathe the air of afree coun
