The Latest English Scandal.
Springfield Republican.
The latest scandal in the English peerage
is the attempt of the heir to the dukedom of
Grafton to get rid of his wife. This person,
when merely Henry Fitz Roy, fell in love
with and married beautiful woman of bad
reputation known as Kate Cook. Presently
his father became seventh Duke of Grafton
and he was Earl of Euston. Meantime he
and his wife separated by mutual agreement,
and although he would have been glad
enough to get a divorce, there was nothing to
allege against her since their marriage. He
has now succeeded, it appears, in hunting up
a mythical s'Mr. Smith, who is to act the
part of Kate Cooks first husband and thus
relieve the prospective peer from his mar
riage bonds. To decent republicans it does
not seem at all uniting that woman of du-
bious reputation should become Duchess of
Grafton, for she will only share honors with
the mistress of Charles IL, who founded the
family-the very name of which, Fitz Roy,
bears witness to the heritage of dishonor.
