Whilst it is quite difficult some
times to obtain q wife, it is not al
ways SO difficult to get rid of one.
The divorce laws of some States are
entirely too liberal. In Indiana, for
instance, to obtain q divorce is
reduced almost to a formal
application; but case has been
determined recently in Michigan,
which will likely check this evil.
The case was where a man was in
dicted for bigamy, and set up as his
defense a divorce obtained in Indi-
ana on complaint of his wife. The
validity of the divorce hinged on
the fact of the residence of the par
ties, and the jury returned YER
dict OF guilty. An appeal was then
taken to the Supreme Court of Mich
igan, which sustained the verdict
of the court below. 1t was held
that in divorce cases the State is a
party as well as the husband and
wlte, and no other State has a right
through its courts to rendera decree
Of divorce between citizens of Mich
igan without her consent. Michi-
gan has never given her consent,
and 50 this divorce, and all Others
of her citizens obtained In other
States, are void by the laws of the
State.

The Credit MobiIier.

tility principal; to buy up railway
companies, Tor instance, or any other
trading companies, by substituting
script and shares Of its own, in its
own lame, for the bonds and shares
of the company; to carry on the
business of banker and tock;jobber
on the limited liability principal.
This scheme, and all others of a
like character, were injudicious III
the immense risk which they entail
ed, leading to wild and reckless
speculation. The French Credit
Mobilier. after becoming all I'M
mense financial power in France,
went out like a flash in a specula-
ton one day, leaving thousands OF
trusting ones to mourn its untime'y
end, while the members of the Mo
bilier were richer than ever.
The Credit AIobilier in this coun-
try, now undergoing Congressional
investigation, is represented as some
what similar in its character to the
French, All the swindliug char
acteristics of the latter, at least, seem
to have been fully embodied inoms
Tie Credit Mobilicr was substan-
tally the Board Of Directors OF the
Union Pacific Railroad, though
claiming to be outsiders. In other
words, the Directors, under the
name Of Mobilier, did the swildling
business. The former entered into
a fraudulent contract with the lat
ter by which the Railroad stock
holders were swindled out of S20,-
100000. The Directors thought
they were hardly competent to do
the actual work ofbuilding the road,
and so they contracted with the
Mobilier (themselves) for building
it, that company being supposed to
be perfectly competent to build it.
The Directors owned certain lands
and bonds from the Government for
doing this work, and the Govern
ment held the first mortgage on the
road. In order to facilitate matters
and hurry up the swindle, the Di-
rectors sought to cash those bonds
as soon as possible. Congress was
persuaded to believe that a second
mortgage was better security than
the one it held, and passed pro-
vision by which the first was with
drawn and given to the Mobilier.
The bonds Of the Company were
then sold speedily and for a good
price, the Mobilier contractors built
the road, and the stockholders
awoke one day and found them
selves out about $4,000, 900. The
Directors were represented as feel
ing bad, but the Mobilier pocketed
the profits complacently. This is
our understanding of the natter.
The profits growing out of the
transaction were very large. A
share which originally cost 500,
paid in dividends a clear profit of
about 81, 800. 1t has been sought
to implicate quite a number Of our
leading Congressman III this affair
Grimes, Of Iowa, Hooper, OF
Massachusetts,, Patterson, Of New
Hampshire, Kelley, Of Penusylya-
ria, Bingham, Vice President Col
fax and others--but the inyestiga-
ton up to this time, Jan. 24th, has
proven no one we believe Of these,
or others charged, to have been
criminally connected with the Mo-
bilier. Blain was charged among
the rest. He and Coltax went be-
fore the Committee in person.
