THE DAILY GLOBE FRIDAY MORNING. AUGUST 49, 1878

State of Indiana for instance, to which you
alluded, has started off in the right dircc-
ton, so that from having had the worst
system of divorce of any state in the Tn
ion, 1t now has probably the very best.
While affording due relief TO all parties
really aggrieyed, Indiana has made it next
to impossible for discontinued husbands
and wives to obtain from her those scandal
lousy fraudulent divorces, for which she
has of late been so notorious. The inquiry
naturally arises, whether Vermont could
not proitably follow 50 good an example.
But II is not enough that VIC have good

vcXcd problem. 1t is safe to say that the
late collision practiccd by Mr. and Mrs.
Charles Sumner in cyading the spirit of the
laws Of Massachusetts while conforming
to their letter, does more to lower tho

ss DivOrce.S

Editm Rutland Globe - Under the
above heading, The GLOBE, in recent is
sue, defines its position on very important
question in social economy. While not
agreeing with it in every point, can most
cordially assent to the intimation that the
way to free love lies through easy divorce
Were it generally recognized that large
share of divorces result from essentially
the same motives that actuate free lovers,
agreat point would be gained for the sta
bility of the marriage relation. Most di-
vorces are the offspring of supreme selfish
ness. One of the parties, or both, are
tired of the restraints which the marriage
contract rightfully imposes and seek relief
therefrom in divorce. Instead of endeav-
Oring to ascertain the cause of this tiresome-
ness, which doubtless at times afiiicts all
but the most favored of married couples,
and removing it if possible they seek entire
release from the marriage bond in the
vague hope that new partnership will
prove more felicitous What is this but
the action of the free lover similarly stu
atcd. He or she tires of the present rela-
ton and proposes dissolution of it, for
the sake OF forming new one. This is
selfshness. unmtigated selfishness, unless
it he lust, in which case it is nothing bet
ter than the pairing of beasts
The true idea of marriage is that it is in
dissouble save for the gravest offences,
and even where the grave offence of adul-
terry has been committed it is better then
for the injured to seek the reformation of
the guilty party, if there be reasonable
prospect of success, than to punish by di-
vorce. So at least taught the late Mr..
Greeley, from whom on the whole subject
of marriage and divorce, moralists gener-
ally do not dissent. The marriage institu-
ton Cor sacrament, as the Roman Catholics
consider IT. is of all the institutions of civil
LIED society: the greatest conservator of
public morality. 1t goes farther in this di-
rection than the church, by reason of the
greater numbers that come directly under
its influence. Anything, therefore, that
tends to weaken the bonds of matrimony
tends to weaken society itself That our
too easy divorce laws do this is painfully
evident to every thoughtful person. Hap
PLY, however, the very looseness of the
laws and the still looser practice of the
courts in many cases, have caused reac-
ton, and legislatures are beginning to mod
lily and amend their divorce systems. The

A Delaware Mystery.

On Friday morning last, says the cores
pondent of the New York Sum- the body
of man was found hanging to a tree in
the woods near Newcastle, Delaware. The
body was suspended to limb about eight
feet from the ground, by two silk hand
kerchiefs, the face and head were swollen,
the eyes bloody, and the arms outstrctched.
AT first it appeared to he case of suicide,
but more recent developments give cause
for suspicion that the unknown was muir
dered
About o'clock on the previous Monday
afternoon stranger visited the place of
John Keigan, in Newcastle, and demanded
a drink. In paying for it he exhibited q
large amount in Canada bank notes. and
also asked the barkeeper, boy named
Frank, to feel the weight of a pouch,
which he said was filled with gold sover-
eigns. The boy says it was very heavy,
and must have contained about $4,000.
A little later the same man visited the tav-
ern of John McGovern in this village, and
there showed his bank notes and pouch of
gold. He was somewhat in liquor. To-
ward evening the same man, accompanied
by another stranger entered the saloon of
Lewis Smydt and called for drinks In
paying for them the first stranger drew
from his pocket handful of gold pieces
Both then went out and proceeded in the
direction of Wilmington.
Nothing was again seen of them until the
discovery of the body last Friday. Mr.
Rogers, in whose woods it was found testi-
fled that he saw the man near his place ON
Monday, and spoke to him, but received
no answer. Frank Kcigan was positive
that the dead man was the stranger who
had exhibited the gold. Net cent was
found on the remains. In one of the peck
cts was piece of paper with the name
Nichols, and stating that he came from

from Troy Pressl
A Pleasant Notice of Railroad
Men.

We had the pleasure, on Wednesday, of
meeting the genial superintendent of the
Harlem Extension railroad, Mr.. +. c.
White, of Bennington. 1t is noteworthy
that the best railroad managers in the
country spring up from those who COM
mcnced railroading in humble positions
MIR. White, years ago, was subordinate
on Massachusetts, road subsequently, he
accepted position of little greater re-
sponsibiity on the Troy Il Boston, and
continuing to attract attention by devotion
to his duties, his carcfulness and his rei-
ability (for this is the distinguishing char
acteristic of successful railroading he was
appointed to the position which he now
holds, one that requires not only very
thorough railroad experience hut executive
ability of high order. Years ago when
MIR. White was conductor on the Troy q
Boston road, Mr.. II. John Clark NOW con-
ductor) was brakeman. Mr.. Clark is
probably as widely known to the travelling
public of this section of the country as any
one person. We might instance his case
as another worthy of note Less than
twenty years ago, when mere boy, Clark
(whOse father was railroad man
before himD sought employment and
was for a time n laborcr ON the tracks.
Steady advancement attended him, and
from laborer to fireman, brakemen and con
ductor was steady graduation. Mr.. Clark
is probably one of the most experienced
conductors in the country. He can run an
engine, repair track, or manage n train
and be at home in either position, Speak
ing of the Troy and Boston road reminds
us of another young man who has dug up
from an humble position. Superintendent
c. w. Moseley some years ago was an Of
flee clerk for the Central road. lie trans
fcrred his allegiance to the Troy and Bos-
ton, displayed rare ability, became Presi-
dent Robinson's chief clerk, and finally
was entrusted with the large responsibility
of the superintendent of the Troy and
Boston road. In this position has he ever fail
ed to meet the expectations of his friends
and perhaps he has signalz9d his ability t.
a greater degree in his present trying posi-
ton than in any other. We cursorilS
started to say a word of remembrance fOi
Superintendent White and have gone fur
ther than we intended. There are hos
of other railroad men, well known to GU
citizens, whose career is equally interesting
and instructive. Of these we may spcal
at some other time.

\ meeting was held in Saratoga Tuesday

\ meeting was held in Saratoga Tuesday
evening. to listen to an explanation
from two members, both colored, of a
committee, appointed by the republicans
of Louisiana, to present their side of the
case to the north. From a report of the
speeches, published in the So'"togion, ii
would appear that they succeeded in show
ing that which no one ever doubted, name
" that the election in that state was
fraudulently conducted, and that white re-
gisters refused to enroll colorcd republicans
as voters The conclusion at which they
arrive we believe to be true-but it does
not follow from their argument-th that the
republicans are entitled to the offices. A
different class of arguments or an addition
to their present number, as well, perhaps,
as change in the manner of presenting
them, would benefit their cause more and
produce better impression. If this is all
these men can say for their cause. our adj
vice would he ''silcnce."

THE ACCIDENT AT THE WHITE Noun
rAISs.-Messrs. V. p. Noyes, of Burling-
ton, and julius NJ. Noyes of New York,
who returned Tuesday night from the
White Mountains, were in a coach near by
at the time of the shocking runaway acct
dent, on Monday last, and gave much as
sistance to the sufferers. The unlucky
coach was one of the morning stages from
the Crawford to the Profile House, driven
by Jerry johnson, an old and careful driver
When going down the Whitcomb hill, in
Bethlehem, about two miles from the Sin
clair House, pole strap broke, and the
team of six horses became unmanageablc
and ran, upsetting the coach which had q
full load of passengers and baggage. The
accident happened at a little before noon
Some think the brake on the coach gave
way first. The horses ran about quarter
of mile, when they came to turn in the
road which threw the coach over. II is
quite probable that had the road been
straight, the coach would have been kept
right side up until the team could have
been stopped. Young Reeves, who was
instantly killed, was riding outside. A
large trunk fell upon him, and completely
crushed his head Huntington FreS Press
