Yesterdays DEBATE.

Chicago, March, 9.-For some reason the
press report Of last night failed to give the
strong points Of yesterdays debate in the
house Of representatives, and it seems pro-
per to supply the singular omission from
the specials to the city papers, which gives
the following essential points Of the affair.
The bill under consideration was the one
to pay the ante deUum, southern mail con-
tractors t375,005 for loses bv the breaking
of the contracts at the outbreak of the war.
The republicans have maintained that, even
if these claims were originally just and
could be so proved. the contract has dsserv.
cd no indemnity, because they stole the gov
eminent property In their possession, vio-
lated oaths and conspircd 10 destroy the re-
public. The democrats and some republi-
cans held that these claims we're just, and
should bc paid.
Mr.. Reagan, former confederate postmaster
general, asserted that the southern post
masters we're directed TO account to the U. S.
for all moneys due the latter.
The evidence Of the confederate archives
and confederate laws, showed on the contra
ry that the confederate postmaster general
ordered the former United States postmast-
ers in the south, TO hold the United States
money; that that money was sub.e-
quently passed to the confederate congress,
itpayiug $500, 900 to these mail contractors,
for the same service on express conditions
However, that il thus the contractors should
ever recover from the United States thai
amount, or any portion Of il. they should
reimburse the confederate government or it,
representatives for this payment of $500, 900
that the contracton were paid. Eighteen
vouchers signed by the very men who ar,
now seeking relief in this bill for s300,00
are on file in the confederate archives
Here the effect was startling, the democrat,
were costounded. Reagan himscl VA

" l." L
A Part Of Chicago's Fame rested, not
many years ago upon the facility with
which divorces could be obtained in the
Cook county courts. But time has changed
all that, and last week q lawyer in hat city
was disbarred for publishing anonymous
advertisements Offering to obtain divorces
for trivial causes, without publicity and
without requiring the residence Of the party
In the State whose courts granted the d.
vorce. His defense was that he obtained
the divorces not in Illinois, but in Utah,
where they were lawful and valid. 1t
should be remarked as to this, however,
that the courts of other States have pro-
nounced these Utah divorces void whore 1t
has been shown that they were granted
without personal notice to tho parties in in
terest- But the decision of the Illinois
court in the case Of the lawyer who had
engaged IN this business is noteworthy. 1t
was to the effect that his advertisements
and circulars would fairly be understood as
implying that his practice was in Illinois
that they were n scandal upon the admins.
tration of Justice, in that State, and that
the author OF them, having committed o
gross breach Of his duty and obligations to
his profession, should be disbarred. These
are wholesome sentiments to como from n
State that did openly a few years ago what
the lawyer is now charged with doing by
implication.
