A UNIFORM DIVORCE Law.
Washington Cor. N. Y. Herald. Oct. %,

Washington Cor. N. Y. Herald, Oct. 18th.
A IA her remarkable movement
has been put on foot here by Mrs.
Admiral Dahlgren, Mrs. General
Sherman, and the other ladies who
are taking an active part in opposing
womans suffrage, the scheme being
nothing less than to completely out
flank the sufiragists OF the Iiiton-
Woodhpll school. These ladies do
not believe that the constitution as it
now stands gives TO women the right
TO vote, and they are determined TO
deprive the others of their so called
sixteenth amendment hy occupying
The ground themselves with an
amendment providing for uniform
system OF divorce. Their principal
argument in favor of this new meas
uro is that if the courts in other
States are obliged TO recognize lndi-
ana divorces as valid, though they
are generaliy obtained by fraud, the
tribunals OF that State virtually alb
sorb the whole divorce business OF
the country, and imperil the proper
ty and marital rights OF every women
from Maine to California. This,they
think, makes the question one ofsuct
national Importance as to require the
interference of Congress. under con-
stitutional safeguards and they de-
sire the constitutional provision they
are seeking to be called the "Six.
teenth Amendment" They are 60
| log to work like real hlgh.born ladies
to encompass their ends, and design,
having the measure first introduced
into the Senaie rather than the
House, since the former is a body of
much more decorum and dignity than
the latter. What is more, Mr.. Trum
bull is to be asked to take charge OF
the amendment, as Chairman Of
the Judiciary Committee and as tho
purest and best of the Senators of the
United States. 1t is believed that
this measure will secure to American
women all the rights they care TO
exercise in public affairs and save
them from the wrongs of such per
nicious legislation as is the disgrace
of Indiana. The flank movement or
the sutiragists by appropriating Their
favorite amendment is regarded as /
good stroke, and one that will put q
rest the agitation of a question which
few ambitious women, by drivins
It's best friends into obscurity, hav'
made disrepptable. 1t Is not intend
ed to make the amendment too radi
cal, and it is only feared that i may
be defeated by the promoters OF so
: called reform overloading it and Kill
|, ing it. A lively scrimmage among
| tho female politicians is expected
and the movement cannot fail to ado
! new features to that remarkable lob
by in which women play such varie,
and important parts.
