CETRALIZING DIVORCE.

A Movement for n National Divorce
Law.
Herald Washington special.]
A rather remarkable movement has
been set on foot here by Mrs. Admiral
Dahlgren, Mrs. General Sherman, and
the other ladies who are taking an &C.
tive part in opposing woman's suffrage,
the scheme being nothing less than to
completely outflank the suffragsts of
the Tilton-Woodhull school. These
ladies do not believe that the Constitu-
ton as itnow stands, gives to women
the right to vote, and they are deter
mined to deprive the others of their So
called Sixteenth Amendment b. occu-
plying the ground with an amendment
providing for a universal system OF di.
vorce. Their principal argument in
favor of this is that the Courts in other
States are obliged to recognize Indiana
divorces as valid, though they are gen.
orally obtained by fraud, the tribunals
of that State virtually absorb the whole
divorce business of the country, and i'm
peril the marital rights and property of
every woman from Maine to Califor-
MIA. This, they think, makes the ques-
ton one of such National Importance as
to require the interference of Congress
under constitutional safeguards; and
they desire the constitutional provision
they are seeking to be called the 10th
Amendment" They are goingto work
like real high-born ladies to encompass
their ends, and design having their
measure first introduced into the Senate
rather than the House, since the for
mer is a body of much more decorum
and dignity than the latter. What is
more, Mr.. Trumbull is to be asked to
take charge Of the amendment, both as
Chairman of the Judiciary committee
and as the best and purest of the Sena-
tors OF the United States. 1t is be-
leved that this measure will secure for
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 on the
suffragists by appropriating their favor
lite amendment is regarded as a good
stroke, and one that will put at rest the
agitation of question which few am
bilious women, by driving its best
friends into obscurity. have made dis
reputable 1t is not intended to make
the amendment too radical, and it is
only feared that it may be defeated by
the promoters Of the socalled reform
overlooking it and killing it. A lively
scrimmage among female politicians is
expected, and the movement cannot fail
to add new features to that lobby in
which women play such varied and i'm
portant parts.

HONEST GRANT.
The Sun APOIOgizes 10 the Presi-
DENTAL Land Pirate.

From the New York Sun, 3lst.l
We owe General Grant an apology.
In a recent article describing the man.
ner in which the President managed to
divert $65, 900 of fund raised for the
benefit of General Sherman, into his
own pockets, in payment for house
which he had just before sold to Mayor
Bowen for $4,000, it was said that
Bowen threatened to sue for the proper
ty, but was persuaded to give up his
contract on the return of the $1,000
which he had paid to Grant on account
Of his purchase, and for the further
consideration of a promise that the
President would make it all right with
him in distributing the patronage of the
District of Columbia. 1t was added
that this promise was not kept, which it
appears was a partially erroneous state
ment. The Washington Capital. edited
by Brevet Brigadier General Don Piatt,
in describing the same affair, gives this
account of the circumstances, which
may be safely accepted as correct:
1--WE know that previous to this dis
graceful transaction nearly all the offices
10 the District of Columbia were distrlb-
uted among certain friends of the Pres.
ident. DR.. Robbins, for example, and
we write advisedly, was selected to fill
the place of Postmaster. But in return
for the money realized in hecompli:
ance of Bowen, the slate was broken and
the places filled at Bowens dictatlon;
This Infamous business continued until
the people of the city rose in their
wrath at the Boweniripg, that, like Tam
many in New York, was sucking the
life blood of our city, and not only
threw these greedy, unprincipled men
out of power, but did it with such dem
onstrations of Indignation that Grant
himself forsook his pal, and from that
out repudiated his contract. o
What set OF fellows they must be
Whv, according to the Capital, Bowen
must be a meaner man than Grant

The distance from Tiffin to Lake

important Of which is the Toledo, Wa

Of the country passed over, forty
seven per cent is timber land and four
per cent. marsh; there are fourteen
towns with populations of from 100 to
5000 lying along or adjacent to the line
These towns are growing rapidly as the
country becomes more thickly settled
and the manufactures increase. The
estimated cost of construction for the
entire line is put at 81. 057 ,075, or $1S,-
ia per mile. The report concludes as
follows: =
II have thus described a railroad
line, and the country traversed by it, of
remarkably favorable features, in d.
rectness, grades, curvatures and cost.
1t will also be line that will command
an almost unlimited amount of traffic.
The existing east and west lines from
Chicago are crowded with business to
the extent of their present means Of
transportation, a business that is in
creasing in such rapid ratio that the
increase alone will furnish new outlet
with all that it wants to do by the time
il can be opened for traffic. 1t lie the
best line that can be obtained from
Chicago eastward to Central Ohio, both
tor passengers and freight, either on
their way to Baltimore, Philadelphia
or New York.
If you ask me why this line, which
is superior TO all others, has been al
lowed to remain 80 long unimproved, /
point you to the primstive forests of
hard wood with which the country was
covered, and their influence
in driving settlers to the more easily
subdued regions of the south and west,
and to the disposition and necessity
there has been Tor railroad companies
TO gather aid and influence by conduct
ing their lines through the towns and
settlements upon less favorable routes
for through traffic, causes, however,
which no longer exist.
