s,gs ABUSES OF DIVORCE LAWS INTEEEEssEE.

The opinion of Judge Turney on the
laws regarding divorces in Tennessee, COM
mented upon yesterday, suggest some fur
ther remarks upon the statutes on the sub
ject, which theother members of the Court
hold to be the law of the commonwealth.
00rWe have read very much in NEWSPAPERS
- concerning the iniquities of the divorce
Laws of Indiana and Illinois, but We
E7ia doubt very much whether any features of
the laws of those States are more 7obnoxi-
Gus to criticism than some provisions of
30 our Code. We propose to suggest some
that we deem Objectionable.
A wife, by the provisions of our law can
obtain divorce without the knowledge of
her husband, though he might live within
half mile of her home. Our Code pro-
q vides that upon the filing of apetition for
a divorce, if the husband lives out of the
county where the proceedings are insti-
tuted, process may be put into the sheriff's
pocket for three months, at the end of
which time, upon returning it to court
~ with an endorsement that the defendant
resides out of the county, it shall be held
good service and proceedings be prose-
cuted as though the defendant was actually
served with notice. A wife living in this
county, within half mile of her husband
living over the line in Blount county,
might thus obtain "a divorce without his
actually knowing anything about it.
Again, the code provides that a petition
for divorce may be filed in the county
where the separation of man and wife oc-
CURED. A wife living in Johnson county
on the Virginia line might under this stat
ute institute proceedings in Memphis
against her husband living in Bristol next
door to her home and obtain a divorce
from him without his knowledge In both
cases however prescribed causes for di-
.voree must lie shown The objections to
both these provisions are, that the defen-
dant though living near the wife, within
the State, has no actual notice of, the. pro-
-, eeedipgs and therefore is denied the priv
eliges of defence.
By another provision of our code wife
is entitled to divorce from bed and board"
and, from the bonds of matrimeny at the
discretion of the eourt''s if she can prove
that her husband 'has abandoned her, or
turned her out of doors and refused or neg
lected to provide for herr and this we be-
lieve it has been held whether the turning
.-.raout OfsdOors was permanent or temporary
The laws of the State give relief speedier
in divorce sthensin most any other cases.
In many instances divorce can be OBJ
tanned in nine days. We doubt if any
other State affords such speedy dissolution
of the marriage tie. 5r7la =

QUICK WORK ON A RAILROAD.

{ Some time ago we referred to the fact
that the gaugeof the Louisville branch of
the Ohio and Mississippi railroad, NIFTY
three miles long, had been changed on
Sunday morning from four to eleven
o'clock-seven hours. We further stated
hat ON the following Sunday morning it
was intended to change the gauge of the
whole line from Cincinnati to Louisville,
distance of $40 miles. Our dispatches told
us that this great work was done last SYM
day in seven hours. We find in the Gin
climate Enquirer the following explana-
ton of how the work was done:
To fully appreciate the extent of the work, it
must be borne in mind that both rails tor dis
lance of $40 miles had to be taken up, moved
seven inches toward the middle of the track and
then fastened down, making $50 miles of rail to
be raised and relaid. In order to perform THIS
IN one day. preparations had been going on tor
months. Two lines of inner spikes mad peeIl
driven marking the exact position OF the new
rail. Precautions had also been taken to faeiil-
tate further its swift performance by boring
holes also for the reception of the outer line OF
the huge nails. Every possible preliminary had
been perfarmed with a view to saving OF time
for the final effort 1T was only necessary SuH-
day to shift the rail to the required position, al
ready indicated, and the work of the hammer
sent home the spike. On many sidings and
curves the gauge had been. previously COM
pleted.
WE do not wonder that the outraged and
overburdened tax payers of New York, af-
ter being robbed of, their money and the
privileges ofmarching a protestant process
sion through their streets, by the Democrat
ic rulers of that city, should contemplate
some legal proceedings to stop the plumb
ering goingon SO openly that every intelli-
gent citizen sees it. The Merchants Ex-
change, a dispatch informs us, is taking
the initiative and we hope will press the
matter vigorously. This corrupt ring OBJ
tanned control of the city by the most start
ling frauds at the ballot box, and are now
violating every trust. reposed in them.
There must be a legal 0remedy for such
monstrous abuses of official power and we
think all that is needed to secure relief is
courage and united action. - q
We invite attention in this connection to
the article from the New York Times print
ed on our first page, which gives some
Startling figures and an interesting expose
of the manner some of these frauds are
perpetrated. L0-YTaUIT sou rt

by the conventions held since the war, do
now resolve: -.

amnesty. --.... =. -... -.
2. That the industries of the country
demand the abolition of the present mode
OF raising the revenue, by which portions
OF the Republic are oppressed and robbed
TO enrich monopolies and certain sections,
and the speedy adoption Of system by
which tho burdens of taxation will be
equally and justly distributed, and the
taxes actually paid may reach the Treasury.
q. That the preservation of liberty is
possible only through the States; and we
protest against every act by which the
States are deprived Of their just and con-
stitutional powers, and State tribunals
ousted of their proper and necessary ju.
risdiction and we are ready to Join in all
lawful and just measures TO reverse the
tyrannical acts Of the party in power,
whereby 1t is sought to strip the States Of
oil rights, and concentrate all the powers
OF government in great centralized des-
potism. -
4. we indorse tho address recently Is
sued by the Democratic members of Con-
gress, and unite in condemning all acts
by which unconstitutional and dcspotic
powers are conferred upon the President,
by which, with the use of the army and
navy, the suspension Of the writ OF hsbeas
corpus, the power to declare martial law,
call out the militia, and invade the States
without the request Of their Executives or
Legislatures, and other underlined means,
he can destroy the freedom Of elections,
the independence Of the judiciary and the
of the States.'' ss' 'f' @"

every form Of lawlessness, whether COM
mitted under the cover Of unconstitutional
enactments or by organized bands; and we
pledge ourselves, as occasion may arise,
to use every means to prevent the one, and
to have enacted such laws as experience
may demonstrate to be necessary to put
down and punish the other, and TO secure
to every person ample protection of life

industry hes been suspended, while Alsace
