MEssRs. EpIToRs:-ln the Florida

ton, of Jan. 3lst, Communication headed
Marriage 10 it Sacred :" appears in
which the writer says the Senate OF this
State has done a good act in refusing to
be q party to the great scandal relative
to divorces; as he says courts have the
power over them. Now Mr.. Editor, you
can sec the motive in that article, al
the author Is interested in the courts
and so also il tho Senator who mad.
the proposition, so as to increase litiga
tion and thereby profit by it. We al
dsplore divorces as much al either o
them but as society is at present con.
stituted, l suppose We will have to have
divorces and if We have to have them
we should not make them money
making scheme for any set of men.
Many times unhappy marriages are
among the poor class, who are not able
to bear the expense of getting q divorce
through the courts, and enrich lawyers
who live off Of other peoples misior
tunes. The writer of the above named
article mnst think that the duty of the
Legislature is TO legislate for the bene-
fit Of the legal profession, and not fol
people. | believe it is the duty
Of that body to give justice to
the people in the cheapest possible
way, but know that does not suit the
legal profession, but it serves the in.
terssts Of the masses best, as the ends
Of justice are often defeated because o.
poverty.
Now here is our muyaa-Charsta, the
writ OF hdb edS-c0rpus, is but a travesty
on Justice under the present system al
it is only benefit to the rich for liber.
ty and lawyers to draw pay, but none
to the poor who have not the means to
heavily fee lawyers. believe divor.
cos should be granted for just causes,
only the gentleman quotes from scrip.
ture to sustain himself | think he
should aquaint himself better with il
before he quotes from it; as the scrip

fer him to deuteronomy oath Chapter,
and think he will find we are net re.
CURED to give small fortune to law
yer TO get divorce and if he thinks
people cannot tell the truth as be saws
without being cross questioned by an
attorney, he is very much mistaken In
human nature, as that method is no,
for the purpoee of drawing out the
truth but the opposite, in order to de.
feat Justice.
He is certainly in favor of subject
ing the creator to the creature if un
derstand him, as he says the bar of the
state could stop this illegal legislative
lobbying if they would. Upon what
meat do these Salons of the bar feed
that they have become so great. that
nobody has any rights that they are
bound to respect Does he forget that
he is In country with a republican
government, where the people are SOW
ereisn and the law making body is but
servant of the people and not of any
particular profession, where others are
Interested as well as the iawyers' Mes
