FIRST DISPATCH.
NASHVILLE, February 2S.-Kerr's d.
vorce bill, designed to make people be-
ware of wedloek, but, being ia, to bear
1t, and bravely, viii surely pass, and
there may never be Chicago In Ten
nessee. The bill was approved in sthe
House to-day on its second reading, by
an overwhelming majority. Since mar
rlages constitute the foundation Of the
family, and thus Of society and of the
State, and failure to wed il the disor-
ganization of society and of govern
ment, bachelors, by this Legislature, are
deemed worse than highwaymen, and
there may be an Gddeadun to this anti
divorce bill which may consign its au-
thor to Coventry.
