DunuouF, Iowa, March 1.-The pros
pect Of m early resumption Of travel on
the roads suffering from the recent snow
blockade looks more promising than the
most sanguine anticipated. The Illinois
Central opened the main line OF the
Iowa division to Sioux City last evening,
and will resume the running of regular
trains at once. They will probably sue
coed in opening the Minnesota branch
by tonight, by which time the Dubuque
and Southwestern road is also expected
to be clear to Cedar Rapids. 4

Gartee deliberately shot man named
Nicholas Benseinger on Thursday night
about eight o'clock. Gartee and Ben
seinger had been engaged in chopplng
wood together, and Gartee was boarding
at Bensenger's house. Jealousy is sup
posed to have been the cause of the bad
blood between the parties, as Bensein-
gers wife is some twenty years his
Junior, and Gartee an unmarried man
aged about twenty. Gartee decoyed
Benseinger out Of his house, and shot
him through the heart with a single
barreled pistol. He has confessed the
deed and is in jail Gartee claims that
Benseinger had threatened him, and
that he felt justified in taking the start

ADJUSTMENTS.

GRAND OPERA HOUSE. AS You Like
It, one of Shakspeare's most charming
creations, was produced last night at the
Grand Opera House. The play was
necessarily cut down and somewhat mu-
tilated, but yet the more attractive por-
tons of the comedy were presented.
The cast was good Miss LeClercq as
" Rosalind," Mr.. Davis as" Adam" Mr..
Wood as Orlando" Mr.. Fitzgerald as
" Jaques,p Mr.. Wren as "Touchstone,"
Mr.. Davey as William Miss Alexan-
der as Cecilia" etc. AS Rosalind
Miss LeClercq was charming indeed,
her faultless acting, graceful movements,
correct reading and appropriate gestures
creating the most pleasing Impressions
on the minds of the audience. There is
piquancy and easy grace in Miss Lee
Clercq's style of acting that stamps her
as an artiste-one who has graduated
with distinction in histrionic honors.
Her style Of acting is more Of the Eng
llsh than Of the American stage, and
this, we deem it, is an Improvement it
being fashioned after the most famous
English models, and being deprived Of
" Americanisms," which too often mar
good piece of acting. 1t is to the Eng
lish stage that we must look for superior
excellence and correct delineation.
Miss LcClercq presents an attractive
appearance and has well modulated
voice, probably not quite loud enough to
overcome the imperfect acoustics OF
the Opera House. In the forest scene
with her lover, Orlando" when she is
in the apparel Of youth, expressing her
love and yet concealing her identity, Miss
LeClercq, as "Rosalind," gave piece of
acting that, to our mind, has never
been equaled on the Memphis stage,
and came fully up to the standard
Of excellence claimed for her by compe-
tent aud accurate dramatic critics. That
shs is a lborough-going actress cannot be
doubted for an instant. She watches
everything, and directs stage movements
and prompts others with equal facil-
jty, yet does it in such a manner that it
escapes detection from all but the criti-
cal observer. II is to be regretted that
the Nardi-Gras and Lsnten seasons
have combined to prevent hundreds Of
our cultivated and critical theater-g oers
from attending during the week. twas
their loss, however, and one not easily
recalled. At the matinee 10 day that
sparkling comedy, London Assurance,
will be produced, and tonight Miss lie
Clercq will close her engagement in As
You Like It. Next Monday evening
Dominick Murray will appear at the
Grand Opera House
MEurHIs THEATER. - Last evening
Miss Isabel Freeman closed her engage
ment at the Memphis Theater in the
Octoroon. Owing 10 Miss Nelson's ap-
pearauce in ST Louis to fulfil an en-
gagement, the dramatic company at the
Memphis Theaier was compelled to
leave the city today for ST. Losis, in
order u support the justly celebrated
English actress. Who is said by Eastern
critics TO be the most beautiful woman,

THE DIVORCE QUESTION.

Colonel Kerr's divorce bill passed its
SECOND reading yesterday in the House
NV an almost unanimous majority, and,
notwithstanding the ridicule this great
reform has encountered, il will in all
probability become law. Those who
expect to apply for divorce on account oil
cold.feet, nou.afiinity or better prospects
elsewhere, had better file their petitions
in court at once, or forever after hold
their peace The proposed law strikes
At great evils which have become
cuAe and a shame in the land. Mar
r;age is the source Of virtue and purity,
and when looked upon as mere conve-
n;enee 10 be renounced at pleasure, or
for Measure, it loses all its sanctity in
the ewes Of the rising generation, aud the
pnion of the sexes becomes a mere ant
NAL instinct, resulting irst in free love
and then in free hate. The facility with
which divorces can be obtained in Chi
cage and other cities is prolific source
of misery. crime and disgrace. People
cat married with the intention OF throw
inc of the bonds of matrimony on the
slightest real or imaginary pretexts, and
these are easily found. The marriage
VOW is perjury, for it means nothing fur
ther in some States than the temper or
canriee of those who take it. They GER
,ainly make strong mental reservation
when they promise to love, cherish, :
etc until death. In the State OF South
Carolina divorce was never granted
before the war, and connubial happiness
and nublic virtue were the rule, and not
exceptional in that State. Almost the
same can be said of Virginia, the mother
of States and statesmen. Few il any
divorces were ever granted there up to
n recent date. The laws were stringent
on the subject; marriage was pract-
oally. if not religiously, deemed a
sacrament. as it is in fact by the
Catholic church. We have favored the
hill MS it is before the Legislature
from the first, and congratulate its au-
thor on a prospect of its final passage.
MANY of those who Lave Joined in the
weak opposition TO the law because II
seemed popular at the moment to do so,
and because it is easier at any time to
take the negative than to establish an
affirmative, will no doubt become early
converts in its favor after the work IS
done. In this era Of political and moral
dissoluteness it is favorable sign to see
single man battleing for pure princl-
pies, and the more encouraging when
sustained by such an intelligent body OF
representative men as constitute the
Legislature of Tennessee. Let us dis
card and forever repudiate the loose,
slip shod ideas and tendencies of the
age and stand by the ancient landmarks
of truth, virtue and integrity, without
which any people will sooner or later 60
into the decay that precedes the mourn
full dissolution of the State. The emf
nently proper measure before our law
makers at the State capital has there its
ablest aud most brilliant defenders.
Success to their faithful efforts.

CONGRESS- has netthe moral courage to
expel any of its own members for the
corruptions developed in the Credit Mo
bilier Investigations. The members are
heaping up wrath for themselves
They will hear of this in another
canvass. The masses of the Repub'
lean party, however misled by their
leaders, will repudiate the white
washing business with vengeance.
Already the mutterings of the people
are heard. The Republican State Con-
vention at Lansing, Michigan, passed the
following resolution on the 26th ult.:
Resolved, By the Republicans OF
Michigan in convention assembled, that
we have no apology or excuse Tor the
corrupt action proven against any mem
Der Of our party, but desire the fullsst
investigation, and demand the punish
ment Of the guilty, conscious that the
Republican party is strong enough to
purify its own ranks; that 1t cannot be
strong if it neglects its duty in this re-
speet: that il can only continue to com
mand the confidence of the country by
purging itself Of unworthy elements.
Still Congress will not take the hint,
or see the signs Of the times. The
present only is regarded. They have
disappointed their friends and disguste d
their opponents.
