Indiana Divorce Law.

l.
resided in the State one year. The
new law requires q residence of two
years; and, although the provisions
Of this section could be practically
ignored, % wore those of the form,
or statute, the additional require
ments effectuany provide against
frand Formerly non-rssidant de
fendants were notified of the pen
dencysof the action by. publication
simply; which mieht tin tt most
obscure newspapers, and wa svirtus
ally no notice at all. Under the
new law notice of the petition must
be printed in the daily papers, when
such are published in the county,
giving the. actual residence of the
defendant; divorces obtained with
out other service than publication
can be opened up within two years,
and until the expiration of that
time it is made unlawful for the per-
son obtaining such divorce to mar
ry again.
One section of the law provides
that s'divorce shall not be decreed
for adultery committed with the
connivance of the party seeking di-
vorce; or where the party seeking
such divorce has failed to file peti
! ton within two years after knowl
edge of the crime; or where the
| party seeking relief has also been
guilty Of the same" A most equit
able provision. Another makes j,
the duty Of the prosecuting attor
ney to appear in all cases Of divorce
that are undefended, and resist the
| petition. The issue of all marriages
prohibited on account of 'sconsan
| guinity, affinity, difference in color
or when either party has husband
or wife living" is to be deemed le
| gitimate.
The second section of the new
law declares that the issue of q mar
riage void ON account of the exist
ence of prior husband or wifi
shall be legitimate. The same sec
ton provides that 'sthe issue Of,
marriage which is void because o
/ q former marriage shall be deemet
legitimate if begotten before tn
discovery Of such disability.
| The eleventh section declares tina
snotice of petition of divorce shal
be published in daily papers, whe1
such are published in the county
and shall name distinctly the res
dence Of the plaintiff and defend
ant but provides for no publication
whstever where daily papers are no
! printed
4 The seventh section delares tha
when . person obtains . decree q
divorce without other notice tina,
publication it shall be unlawful 70
him or her to marry again until th
expiration Of two years, but pr
vides no penalty for the offence ,
committed. It is q question whetl
or the general law against bigam
Nnuld be applicable here, and
nok the omission is Q serious one.
The twelfth section seems to rer
der the seventh nugatory by d.
claring that : divorce granted fo
the misconduct Of the defendar
gives the same rights that woul
have accrued by death Of the othe
party. This would Include not onl
The right of dover but the rigl
also to marry again ct any tim

plans specifications. and proposals be sent in by
March 81 1873, and addressed to President OF Typo
graphical Union No. 6, No. "a Duane-st, N. Y" The
Committee the right reject all proposals
not deemed satisfactory.
]. MEYERHoFF, Chairman Committee.
W. A. BAKER, Secretary.
From the above announcement the public
will learn that the plan of erecting Printers
Statue of Mr.. Greeley is likely to be success
full. Assurances have been received from the
printing offices in various parts of the country
of a sufficient supply of type-metal for the
statue. The main point now is to secure
good model aud we believe better opportu-
nifty could hardly present itself for fresh and
original design. The work is of peculiar
character, and as it is to be a tribute to the
memory of q fresh and original man, there is
reason enough in this instance for guarding
against trite conventiOnalities of design. Of
course there is no danger that Mr.. Greeley
will be represented in Roman tOga, or
that the Committee will content itself
with any other outworn design; but the
Printers Statue of Great Printer
should. in its form as well as its
material suggest the profession of its sub
ject.
Various ideas of what the statue should
be have been suggested, and among others
that of representing Mr. Greeley "as jour
newman printer working at the case.n There
ia novelty in the plan, and should it be
adoDted, we shall not at least have another
jtatne of great man appearing rs if he
never did anything, and was incapable of
doing anything except standing still and
worth considering, and its consideration may
give rise to some other which will be deemed
even better. Let us see if we cannot at last
have a statue bearing the impress of modern
thought and energy-something which will not
be a lamentable anachronism.

AFTER TGATION. gBAT,

The facts are pretty well settled. They are
quite clearly apprehended III the popular
mind, and about them there seems TO be but
little more to be said. There is no light in
which they can be viewed, no isolation of
single facts, or possible Formulation of the
whole, no combination or colOring, or shaping
of circumstance and surrounding-in short, no
conceivable theory of the case that can leave
the names which have been brought into the
Credit Mobilier investigation without stain
Differing in degree, perhaps, as they differed
in acuteness and boldness, all of them, upon
their own confession. had guilty knowledge.
IL is useless TO talk further about that
That each of the members inculpated
either deceived the people in his own proper
person by evasion or denial. or stood by with
holding the truth while others deceived them
is now we'll known: Even Henry Wilson, who
seems to have been more sinned against than
SHINING in the original transaction, and to
have had, in the mere matter of receiving the
stock, no intention of doing wrong or
questionable thing, equivQcated and parried
inquiry as to his connection with it, and stood
by consenting while his friend Gen. Hawley
pleaded for him that he knew nothing of 1t.
Not one of them, except Speaker Blame, who
has so far escaped, but has been besnn rched,
more or less, in the progress of the iuqliry.
And hardly one of them who has not do,.e
himself most injury by his own testimony.
There have been, then, in these eases de-
grees of offending running from guilty COM
plicity in the deception of the people through
falsehOod TO perjury, and in this view we are
leaving out Of consideration entirely tls g9-

motive which an impartial observer can dis

In sudden fit Of indignation yesterday,
the Lower House of tho New-Jersey Legisla-
ture gave forcible illustration of the latent
bribery which turks in the practice of en-
bOdying in railroad charters provision grant
ing free passage to members of the Legisla-
ture. The Erie Company, it seems, kept its
agreement grudgingly and only partially,
whereupon the indignant members of the
Assembly refused the passes altogether, and
at once started upon its passage a bill COM
pelling the offending Company to pay into
the State Treasury the taxes it has so long
evaded. This action was nothing more nor
less than a confession that the free passes
were bribe to ward off hostile legislation
The State can better afford TO pay the mileage
of its lawmakers than to have its treasury
deprived of thousands of dollars of legitimate
taxation, especially when by so doing it can
introduce into its Legislature something Of
that independence of railroad dictatiOn which
it now needs so sadly. The spirit of revolt
against railroad rule which displayed itself so
conspicuOusly last evening when the merits of
the new bill were discussed cannot safely be
disregarded. The people demand freedom.
Let the Legislature grant this demand by
compelling all roads to pay their just proper
ton of taxes, and by allowing just as many
new ones to be built as there are men willing
to pay for them. If the new bill is to fail, as
seems to be the case, because its exact coun-
terpart has been introduced to check it, there
is another and better resort-a general rail-
