nocent of any wrong in all the matrlmonlh'

The legitimacy of offspring and the titles
to property in this country-tWo essen1'al
conditions to the safety and Wel-belne OF
society-will be seriously threatened it this
increased facility and promiscuousness Of
divorce shall be tolerated much longer. IL
will not be safe for anybody to trace BACK
genealogical record in the next century,
There are now thirty-eight States and seven
Territories in which the laws all differ more
or less, ranging from the strictest construc-
ton of the marriage relations to the broadest
avenues Of escape. Uniformity would
certainly be desirable, so that one might
know whether one is divorced or not.
Just how it is to be obtained short
of q convention Of States, We don't
know. It is possible that Congress
might set an example by passing general
law for the regulation Of divorce in the Ter
ritories and the District Of Columbia, which,
if it should nit upon happy mean, might
gradually be adopted by all the State Coy
ernments. As the religious and social re-
formers are certainly making no headWay IN
repressing the desire for enforcement, 1t Is
very evident that something ought to be done
in common statutory way to place some
uniform restrictions, or give some uniform
facilities, for this peculiar institution

THE LEGISLATIVE CONTEMPT.

The House of Representatives of the
State of Illinois has ordered that Mr. NEv1Ss
be imprisoned in the County Jail of Sanga-
mon County until he shall answer the ques-
ton who told him that it was r11mored that
member Of the House had taken $500
Improperly. If Mr. NEvHs answered the
question he would have betrayed the conf
dence which pertains to the profession, and
which is never violated The question de-
manded was not who the member was that
was accused, but it Was, Who told the co1re-
spondent that member was accused? If
the object of the House was to find the per-
son charged, that it might give him IN op-
portunity of denying the imputaion, all it
had to do, perhaps, was to call the roll, and
each member would be able to tell as much
as the correspondent could tell, and that
would be, s' + heard that the person accused
was Mr. -" The House, if not disposed
to subject its own members to such an un-
pleasant duty, might have summoned prob
ably every man and woman in Springfield,
from the Governor down to the smallest
bootblack, and each would have repeated the
same story, t'I heard that Mr. chad
taken 81, 800" The only man in Illinois
who has heard the story and is under an OBJ
legation not to give the name of his inform
ant has been selected and sent to jail for not

ber Of the Legislature could do just as well,

that since the 1st Of January last per cent

sale of 4 per cent bonds is suspended
for the time, but the Government will
in the meantime issue per cent certltl-
Gates, fundable hereafter into per cent
bonds, the money received for them being
applied to thepayment Of the old 1910 bonds,
bearing per cent interest aud issued IN
1864, and which amount to $194, 600, 900.
There is nothing, however, in the history
of national finances equal to the sale Of per
cent bonds since the 1st of January, 1873.
Over 1870, 100000 Of such bonds sold at par

Springfield was agog yesterday over the
court proceedings in the case Of The TR1B-
UxE correspondent, whose fidelity to truth
in writing of the members Of the House
caused his commitment to jail for alleged
contempt of that body. In the morning an
application for . writ Of ha6eas corpus was
made, and the balance Of the day devoted to
its argument Ex-Gov. PALMER, who appeared
for TIE TRIBUNE reporter, held that the writ
ly virtue Of which his client WIS incarcer-
ated was void, and presented cogent reasons
to support his claim- The other side WAS
represented by Committee of '' Managers,
appointed BY the House, and they
we're led to the attack BY Attor-
ney- General EDsA11. The hearing Of the
matter occupied the Court until late
Inst night, when the discussion yeered to the
question of admitting the prisoner to bail in

On the 4th Of March, 1869, the Secretary
Of the Treasury put the law providing for a
sinking fund in operation, and also began
the application Of the surplus revenue to the
purchase of the debt. The maximum of the
debt was reached in 1866, and, from Alarch,
1869, the dimlnution Of the debt continued
regularly until, On the LIST of July, 1876, it
WAS reduced to So, ,104, 18o,o 600, the reduction
at that time being $59s, s,G43, 900. or at the
rate of nearly $60, 600 year from the
time the debt had reached its maximum.
On the 18th of June, 1870, Congress au-
thorized the issue Of new bonds, bearing 8,
~, and 4 per cent interest, to be exchanged
for outstanding G-per-cents or gold, and. the
proceeds applied to the redemption Of the
G~per-cents. In July, 1870, the outstanding
bonds were of the following amounts and
character:
Total bonded debt. 50, Jos, 366 600
Bonds bearing per cent.......... ], ,9l3 SOL, 900
BONUS bearing per ccnG.-.--....-. 194, oo7, 00o
On the 1st Of July, 1876, these figures had
been changed to the following:
Total bonded debt. .....S1 69o o05 900
Bonds bearing per cent....--..... 9S6, 40 600
Bonds bearing pei cent -.........- I'll, 42o, QUO
It will be seen that in the sir years the
principal of the bonded debt was reduced
S408, ,463 900, and the annual interest on
$51G, ,000, 600 had been reduced from to S
per cent.
On the 1st Of January, 1879, the bonded
debt statement showed the following figures:
Total bonded debt. ....,....SlS 500 8l2 $50
Bonds nearing u per cent?. ..... 7;5, 10b, 200

Bonds bearing per cent..- ........ 1875, 700, 900
The per cent bonds included twenty
year loan made in 1861, which is not re-
deemable until after 1881, and amounts to
S1s9,321 $50, and some> smaller items, and
also $40 bonds to tbs amount of 1878, 1884,

gloonaily humorous facts in relation
to the shameful ones heretofore made

yesterday, and related the circumstances at
tending his forced and hurried flight to Can
ada, and subsequent return, to become, as he

His midnight sprees in company with Go1sES
were vividly described by the witness, and
the whole presentation was an appalling

calls attention to two notable but apparently
forgotten facts of Iowa political history. One
Of these was the refusal Of the Republican Con-
Veution of 1875 to say word in its platform cx-
pressire Of confidence in or regard for Gen.
GRANT. The other fact was : speech OF FRASR

which mildly approved the Administration Of

HIETORY OF TIE PUBLIC DEBT.

The closing call Of the $40 bonds of the
United States marks M important point in
the financial history Of this country. A
few facts will illustrate the wonderful history
of the credit of the United States during the
eighteen years beginning with July, 1851.
The debt Of the Uuited States on the Isl
lay Of July, 1861, was $sS, 400, 900, Of which
about $24, 100000 was on account Of the
Nar, then in its infancy. The growth of
ihat debt since then and its decline is mai
ter Of instructive interest. The aggregate
on the LIST OF July in each year was as fol-
