ST. LOUIS, Jan. y, 1sII.
Governor Brown sent special message to the
Legislature yesterday, In which ne very ably dis
cusses the divorce laws and recommends the estab-
lishment in the State OF house or refuge for uve-
nile criminals, thorough geological survey OF the
State and a complete revision OF the revenue and
Insurance laws. The Governor seems 10 think that
adultery Is the only sufficient cause for absolute d.
vorce, and:suggests that this act be made penal and
when the evidence Of adultery is sufficient to justify
legal separation the guilty party should be punished
by the same Judgment that grants divorce.

him would restore the House of Orleans. He
has but to let loose the imprisoned legions
captured at Sedan, at Strasbourg, at Metz and
elsewhere to make secure once moro the posi-
ton Of Napoleon or Of the Regency. There is
another course yet open to him. This ruinous
war was forced on Germany because France
would not allow Hohenzoller to occupy the
throne Of Spain. 1t would be strange result
of this war, startling revolution of fortune,
peculiar revenge, If Leopold Of Hohen-
zollern should be borne in triumph to the
Tuileries and the throne Of st. Louis. Such
conclusion of the whole matter would not be
unworthy of the bold and dashing genius Of
Bismarck.
We are willing to hope with the French
people. Let us hope that they have gathered
some wisdom from their recent bitter expert
ence. If they do not show some signs of
common sense the world will cease to extend
to them either respect or sympathy.

The latest Dispatches from Franc,

The news from France to-day shows pretty
conclusvely that the people are anxious for
peace. The war spirit is evident In some
localities 1t is true, Lyons for instance; but
Lyons has not suffered as Paris, Amiens,
Orleans and other cities we might mention, and,
in all probability, il that great commercial
centre had been subjected to some Of tho
vistations that other but more northern
cities suffered from the ardor of that por-
ton of Its citizens who are 80 anxious
to prolong hopeless contest, might
be considerably toned down. Southern
France has not suffered at all In this war In
comparison with the ravages which have been
In the North. In contrast to the war spirit of
the South we find that the people Of the North,
Though astounded at the conclusion of an
armistice, have the courage to ad NIT that it
is the best thing that could be done under the
circumstances. The dispatches all agree in
describing the condition of Paris as most
melancholy. The desire of the German leaders
to mitigate the hardships of the people
Is praiseworthy. Until the arrival OF
stores, now on their way from England
Belgium and Germany, the capital will be
relieved from the German army stores. There
are still some movements going on by the
armies on both sides. Bourbaki's army is
enclosed on or near the Swiss frontier. A
portion of the French Army of the Loire, in
attempting to move further southwark, caused
movement on the part of a portion of the
Prince Frederick Charles forces, and they
destroyed the bridges of Blois and Abbeville.
