The divorce business, which has
given Illinois, and Chicago in particu-
lar, such an unenviable notoriety
throughout the length and the breadth
Of the Union, is at last to receive its
quietus. The Revision Committee ii
vorce bill, which has passed the Leg
islature and is now a law, contains
provision that all evidence in such
cases shall be heard in open count.
With such q clause strictly enforced,
the popular joke about stopping in
Chicago twenty minutes for dinner
and ten for divorce" will necessarily
lose all point.

The case of Underwood vs.. McVeigh,
which was carried from the Virginia
Court of Appeals to the United States
Supreme Court by the LATE but not Ia
mented Judge Underwood, has been
dismissed for want of jurisdiction. The
meagre report of the telegram seems
to show that the case is not merely dis
missed for lack Of jurisdiction, but de-
cided on its plerits adversely to Under
wood, on the ground Of fraud. The
Virginia Court of Appeals, it will be
remembered, gave him scathing and
whitening rebuke for his frauds. So
the Judge carried up the case to the
Supreme Court, and tha5 august body
seems to have gone cut of its way to
rebuke him even in his grave

ROSIN.-The Rosin market during
the week which we review to-day has
been more regular, and prices have
been better sustained than any week
of the pr sent month. Strained has
been the grade which has been the
ruling feature Of the market, and for
this quality a good enquiry for ''spots
and futures" has prevailed. The mar
ket was steady in the early part of the
week, and prices were regular. 1t
afterwards opened tirmer and au adj
vance of u cents was obtained. The
recaipts by river and rail have fallen
off considerably, but the city manu-
facture for the past two or three weeks
has been very large and with limited
supply of shipping there has been
very little reduction OF stock. The
weather has been disagreeable and
rainy throughout the turpentine sec
ton of the State, and the new crop
has made but little progress, and it
will probably be a month later than
usual. At the Exchange" this week
there has been Il good attendance daily.
4 few speculative transactions in frl-
lures were recorded, but the bulk of
transactions were i'll the open market.
These, as far as reported, and the

\ curious demand has been made III
behalf OF VIM. NJ. Tweed. Judge
Davis, in sentencing him, verbally
made the mistake of naming the coun-
Nv jail as the place OF his confinement,
but he afterwards directed that he be
carried to Blackwell's Island, which
was done. Tweed's counsel now con-
tends that the literal sentence as pass
ed III on Tweed in court cannot be
changed by subsequent order OF the
Judge, and demands that he be taken
to the county jail, as originally SEN
fenced. The plea is said to be d novel
