DIVORCES.
Their Alarming Frequency and its
Cause.

A correspondent OF the New York Times
Is becoming alarmed at the immense num-
Der of divorces daily granted in this coun-
try, and the ease with which separation
from matrimonial bonds is obtained. He
moralzes on the subject thus:
This is bad, an ominous sign. 1t was
one of the signs which accompanied the
corruption of the Roman empire. The
looseness OF family ties is one of the worst
things which can occur to a country. This
is implied in the freedom of divorce. There
are thousands of people, intelligent, re-
spectacle people, whose doctrines on this
subject are perfectly horrible. They hold
that if a couple have not perfect affection
for each other, or there is some incompati-
bility in them, they are at perfect liberty
to get a divorce. On this subject one
would think we were not a Christian peo-
pie. It is one of the most solemn laws
of Christian doctrine, given by Jesus
when upon earth, that no divorce should
be given except for adultry And yet
our laws, courts and churches are con-
stantly violating this solemn doctrine of
Christianity. No divorces were allowed
N the primitive ages of mankind. It
crept into the Jewish church (said Christi
from the hardness of their hearts. Even
New York courts have been obliged to de-
ny the validity of Indiana divorces. The
effect of the Indiana laws was to make the
State good harem, in which the bashaws
might take and put away their wives at
pleasure. like to say something in ia
vor of sinners if / can, and / am glad to
say that South Carolina has one monument
to her glory, which will outlive the crime
of rebellion. South Carolina courts never
granted a divorce. That was reserved
for the legislature, and was rarely done.
For this defect in her social morals we are
largely indebted to the church The Pro-
testant church has not done its duty on
this subject. Who ever heard sermon
from the text. "Whosoever putteth away
his wife and marrieth another committeth
adultery" Our clergy are sadly deficient
in preaching upon the philosophy, practice
and duties of the family state. We ought,
at least, to preserve the church from the
awful decentralization which is creeping into
the political system.
On this the Express remarks:
The political system, in our judgment,
is not responsible for this license and free
dom. 1t is an incident OF the spirit of in
novation upon constitutional law which
pervades the land. Marriage is a con-
tract, and the most solemn of all con-
tracts; and before any judge or jury de-
eide in favor of divorce they ought 10 be
called upon to meet that provision of the
constitution which says that emo State
shall pass any law impairing the obliga-
ton of contracts To annul the act of
marriage not only impairs the contract,
but destroys it.
