 appear to be similar irregularities if the cash
 fer were suddenly taken away. W. R. Smith,
 of Augusta, told me that If he had been killed
 on the same day there would have been $20,-
 900 which his bank directors could not have
 accounted for. There are good many small E transactions which cashiers carry in their
 heads and make no memorandum of. It is
 very hard for a man to leave the world so
 suddenly and not have an opportunity to clear

 remarkable opinion has been given in the
 Virginia Court Of Appeals by Judge Ander-
 son, one of the judges in the case of Latham
 vs. Latham, to the effect that Republicanisn, is good ground for divorce. In the case re- ferred to, Mrs. Latham charges in her bill that her husband required her to conceal her want of sympathy with his political career. and al leges that the shock was 50 great to her when she found after marriage that her husband, whom as girl 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 what are known in Virginia of Radicals; that she could stand 1t no longer, and was compelled to sue for 8 di- vorce. In the opinion of Judge Anderson dissenting from majority of the Supreme Court and overruling the decree of the cor poration court of LyBchburg. he descants in the following happy vein 'sThs shock and modification of Mrs. Latham was to find that her husband had not been true that he bad desarted his friends and had gone over to the enemy, and had joined him in waging upon them Q war more cruel than @ war of arms. It was psrfdy, the moral taint of which sbe felt attached to him, and which would likely ex- clude him from the best society of the State, " and, therefore, this most righteous judge thought that the bonds of matrimony ought to be dissolved.

The ad- dress, among other items of encouragement notes that there was proof that the determi- uaIlOn or tne women 70 vote TOT gooQ can0l- dates only had it's effect on the nominations of the political parties, and says it is now pos sible to anticipate that the days of mere office seeking arc near an end, so far aE the School Board is concerned. If we may believe g correspondent of the Milwaukee News, the experiment of allowing women to vote in all matters pertaining to schools has been 8 suc- cess in Kansas. Says the correspondent: ''As far as observation goes the ladies have minds of their own. They neither vote for the handsomest men nor the ones their hus- bands tell them to vote for unless the candi- date is, in their opinion, the proper one. Their votes cannot be bought. They are uni versally on the side of morality and temper ance hence the workers In the temperance cause are warm advocates of equal suffrage. Election days pass quietly. The enrolling clerks of the Legislature are ladies, also 8 large proportion of county superintendents, who, in every instance, discharge their duties in 8 manner that gives universal satisfaction
