NEW GROUND FOR DIVORCE.

A Virginia Judge OF the Court Of Appeals
Who BsIieyes Republicanism Good
Ground for Divorce.
WASHINGTON, D. e., January IA re-
markable opinion has been given in the
Virginia Court Of Appeals by Judge An,
derson, one OF the Judges, in the case Of
Latham vs.. Latham, TO the effect that Re.
publicanism is good ground for divorce.
In the case referred TO, Mrs. Latham
charges in her bill that her husband re.
quired her to conceal her want Of sympa.
thy with his political cause, and alleges
that the shock was so great 10 her when
she found, alter her marriage, that her
husband, whom as gil she had admired
and honored as one who had done his duty
to his native State in arms, and whom
she supposed TO be still true, had
in fact allied himself with whatare known
in Virginia as Radicals, that she could
stand It no longer, and was compelled TO
sue for divorce. In the opinion OF Judge
Anderson, dissenting from the majority
Of the Supreme Court, and overruling the
decree Of the Corporation Court at Lynch
burg, he descants in the following happy
vein: 1.-THE shock and modification o.
Mrs. Latham was to find that her HUSBAND
had not been true; that he had deserted
his friends and had gone over 10 the enc
my, and had joined him in waging upor
them war more cruel than a war OF arms
It was pertidy; the moral taint which sh,
felt attached to him, and which woult
likely exclude him from the best society
OF the State" And, therefore, this mos
righteous Judge thought the bonds o
matrimony ought TO be dissolved.

say how the matter will be voted upon.
As matter OF course there are some who
are opposed to it, as there always are when
money is to be voted for public improve
ment OF any kind, but at present it looks
as though majority OF our people werein
favor OF it, deeming that the building OF
the road to this point would add largely to
the best interests Of our town.
The machine shops, formerly owned by
Swartz & Sons, is being overhauled and
fitted up for the purpose Of the manufac-

Jones & Go. Mr.. G. W. McKim, who has
been engaged in the manufacture OF ma.
chinery here for the past twenty-five
years, will act as the foreman OF the new
concern, and that Is sufficient guarantee
that none but the best OF work will be
done.

do their utmost TO make the time real
social in Its broadest sense.
Our farmers, or those who have hardi-
hood to come into town, are complaining
OF the terrible bad roads leading into

The Boom OF the IIoosier Rivers, and the
Rain RtIlI Falling.

lkhiu bttll Ehilihk.
NEw ALBANY, January S.-All the rivers
in the southern part Of Indiana are at flood
height, and still rising. The rainfall con-
tinues, and came down heavier and more
steadily to-day than at any other time
since the commencement on the Sd. The
Ohio Is swelling from the floods poured
into It by the tributaries, and the bottom
lands subject to overflow will be covered
before the close Of the week. Blue, White,
Patoka and Wabash rivers are booming,
and ssme OF the old steamboatmen predict
flood in the Ohio equal 10 that OF 1865,
while others think that 1t will not exceed
that OF August 1875,
So far the railroads In this part OF the
State have suffered but little, but II the
rain continues day longer, as 1t now
bids fair to do, there will certainly be
great destruction TO bridges, aud tracks
will be badly washed. The weather con-
tinues very warm, the mercury to-day In.
dicating temperature OF 65o. So far the
present winter there has not been q snow
fall in this part OF the country sufficient to
cover the ground, and but one slight
freeze up OF the ground, and since the 24th
Of December It has raiued almost every
day. The farmers says this remarkable
weather has brought the wheat crop on
remarkably, and to-day It looks as green
and thrifty as Ia usual In the latter part Of
March. The buds OF fruit trees are con-
siderably swollen, but not sufficiently so
to greatly endanger them should cold,
freezing weather follow the pleasant warm
and spring.like condition.

Accident on the baltimore and Potomac
Railroad.

BALTIMORE, January "a collision oc.
cured this afternoon on the Baltimore and
Potomac Railroad, at Lafayette station,
within the city limits. The New York
limited express collided with the train
which left the Union Depot at 8 o'clock
for Washington. The engines Of both
trains were badly damaged, and the
tender OF the limited express was forced
back into the postal car, but neither the
passengers nor train men were injured
beyond a few bruises.
The accident occurred at point where
double track through the city merges
into q single track, and the south bound
train should have waited on the double
track until the limited express passed. By
some mishap the Washington train ran on
the single track about one hundred yards,
and before 1t could back was run into by
the limited express. The engineer OF the
south bound train says the air brakes
would not work.
