THE INDIANA DIVORCE LAw.-The
Indiana Legislature, Just before its
adjournment, completely remodel
ed the divorce law of that State,
which has been a disgrace to its
statute books for twenty years.
What was known as the discretion
airy clause" in the former law was
fruitful source of abuse. 1t per-
mitted the granting of q divorce
for any cause deemed sufficient by
the judge trying the cause, and no
appeal on the question of separa-
ton was allowed. 1t resulted that
the fdt of any one of perhaps fifty
judges having jurisdiction in Indi-
ana was conclusive as to the issue
whether there should be 3 divorce
or not. In hosts of cases divorces
were granted without any good
cause being shown and the whole
system had fallen into the most de-
served contempt. The new law
takes away from the judges all such
discretionary power, and divorces
can only be granted for certain
causes, specified in the statute.
Heretofore the "non- resident" di-
vorces have been very numerous.
Under the old law any resident OF
the State could file petition for a
| \ -
mons required to be given to the
defendant, If q nonresident, was by
three weeks publication of notice
in weekly newspaper printed in
the county where the suit was
brought. Under the decisions Of
the court, a residence of single
day was sufficient to entitle the ap-
plicant to file the petition. 1t re.
suited that divorces were common,
ly asked for after a residence of in
significant duration, and without
any actual notice to the other party
interested. The system led to the
most fragrant and open abuses, ani
divorces obtained under these cir
cumstances have generally been dis
regarded by the courts of othe
States. by the new law, however

Some of the foreign papers have
chosen to ridicule that portion of
President Grants inaugural in
which he pointed to the tendency
towards republicanism in the world,
and presaged day of perfect har-
mony among the nations, when arm
les and naVies would be unneces-
sary. The London Noncomformist,
which represents much of the best
sentiment of England, treats it in a
different vein. "For ourselves"
says that paper, it seems to us that
no nobler language than this has
ever been held by the ruler OF a
mighty empire, whose power is al
most unlimited, and who has moth

INTERESTING FIGUREs.-The new
volume of the census shows q gain
of 124 per cent. in value of pro-
ducts in this country, and an in
crease of nearly ITO per cent. in
the amount of capital employed in
manufactures, as compared with
the returns of 1850; and it also
appears from the commercial sta
tistics of the first eight months of
1871 and 1872 that there is an in
crease of more than % per cent.
in the amount Of our principal ex-
ports. These results are crafty
ing, both as illustrations of the
growing prosperity Of the country,
and as an answer TO the alarmists
who exaggerate the consequences
of our large importations. The

ticles Of export is exhibited in the

Many OF our subscribers who
promised to pay US by the 18th. Of
October, have not done so. While
we are aware that the late money
panic, in connection with the draw
backs incident to the appearance Of
yellow fever in our great cotton
market, Memphis, retarded the in.
flux OF greenbacks to our county,
we have reason TO believe, now that
the regular channels of trade and
trafic are being opened, that money
will soon be as plentiful as leaves
in the adjacent forests.
We have departed from the rules
generally adopted by newspapers
and sent our paper on promises to
pay at an early day-fecling that
our paper was the property Of the
common interest, and that each and
every subscriber would not-could
not fail to keep his promise.
We would now tell them that we
need the money, and nothing but
our modesty prevents US from visit
ing our delinqucnts and demanding
our Just dues. 1t takes money to
run newspaper, although we have
known few instances where they
were run on chin-music; butin that
particular we are deficient. We
have our paper and ink to buy, and
our workmen to pay off every week,

Disastrous Fire.

This Saturday morning about
nine o'clock the extensive steam
mills and cotton gins of J. II. Ed
ring,on, Esq, situated just above
town on the river, caught fire and
in short time were completely
consumed. No one employed about
the establishment at the time can
give an account Of exactly how the
fire originated, though it evidently
commenced in the lint-room. 1t
was probably caused by the saws
of the new Pratt Gin striking
against the steel ribs of the same
while running AT a highrate ofspecd
thus producing sparks which were
thrown down into the lint room
the air Of which was filled with
minute prrticlcs of cotton, which
thus finely divided is as innamma-
bic as ni,ro-g ycerine or gun-cotton
The flames once communicated,
soon spread and within five minutes
the entire establishment was a sheet
of roaring. cracking flames. The
engineer had the presence of mind
to throw open the valves of his en-
ginc and the safety valve Of the boil
CT before he was driven.trom his post
by the advancing flames, and thus
prevented what is generally the
most disastrous feature ofsuch con-
flagrations, an explosion OF the
boilers. Fortunately but a small
amount Of cotton, so we understand
was IN the gin at the time, and by
concentrating the force at hand, that
stored in the warehouse and in the
ncighborh0od Of the fire was res
cucd from ITS perilous position and
rolled out Of The way. This is
all that was saved OF property
worth, at sunrise this morning,
some twenty thousand dollars. Mr..
Ward, the manager ut the Mills,
has cur deepest sympathy, next TO
Mr.. Edrington, whose lOss is just AT
this time Il severe blow to him.
4" Bad luck " seems to cling to and
pursue the former gentleman most
unrclentingly, this being the third
or fourth time that he has been
burned out within the past few years
and that too in spite Of watchful-
ness, care aud energy. The actual
loss in property destroyed though
heavy, is not so much as the dam
age accruing from inability to get
to market Mr. Edrington's immense
crops of cotton, now being rapidly
picked and requiring ginning and
baleing. The blow acquires addi-
tioual force from the strange mala
dy which is now conining Mr.. Ed
rington to his room, under the care
of skillful surgeons. Were he able
to be about, his wonderful energy
of purpose, indomitablc pluck and
fertility ofresource would soon haye
another establishment in running
order. We have no doubt that he
will do this "anyhow," and hope
that all who can do SO will lend him
helping hand.
