Governor Baker, or Indiana, In his recent
message, dwe!ls at length aud with great severity,
upon the facility with which citizens Of other
States, after a pretended residence In Indiana,
obtain divorces, and then retur to their homes
from which they 1ed for that very purpose. The
laws under which such schemes Can be carried
out, he says, are reproaca to the civilization Of
the age. and are IN violation Of the comfy OF sis
ter States. The Cove ernor recommends that the
clause OF the statute which authoriz divorces
for any cause that the cour mag deem sufficient

cruel treatment good cause Of divorce should be

cruel and inhuman or cruel and ba barous. He
also recommends certain changes In the practice
In divorce cases, which would render impossible
the colluslve or fraudulent separation OF husband
ana wife, and says that with such amendments
Indiana divorces would soon cease to be adver
tlsed In the Atlantic clies as marketable commod.
