From Ih y. Y. lit'lei'dxlrit'.
The BHHooiutioa of Frioml with Indians
hi a tiweot traditionary fragrance that is
likely to last. It 'loolcs ns if (reneral Grant
had done a wwe tltiug in selecting comtuis
Hioners from that body of Clirintiaiifl whoso
name BngueKtR kindncsH, and whoso princi-
Eles plodgo them to simplicity, sincerity,
oneHty, and peace. These good men whose
names are Benjamin llallowell, of Baltimore
Yearly Meeting; Franklin Haines, of New
York Yearly Meeting; John Dudley and
Joseph Powell, of Philadelphia Yearly Meet
ing have made report of their expedition to
isit the Indiana in the Northern Snperin
tendoncy in the State of Nebraska. There
are six reservations in the State. The Taw
ncea came first in order, their renerration
lying but about one huudred wiles west of
Omaha; next oanie the Iowas, Sacs and
Foiea, who oocapy ground in the extreme
bouthoaatem corner of the State; the Otoes
aud Missourias lie to the west of
these; the Santce Sioux ocenpy a reser
vation in the northwestern part of the State;
the Winnebagoea are on the Missouri river,
iut a short distance from Sioux City; the
location of the Omahas is adjacent to that of
tko Winnobagoes. All these six agencies are
under the care of Friends, each having an
agent who resides on the reservation and
who represents the care of the General Gov
ernment. The superintendent of them all
is Suinuel M. Janney, who lives at Omaha.
Thoso men, Mr. Janney included, were ap
pointed on the recommendation of the Indian
committee of the Frionds. They went to
work last May.
Evidence outside of the report goes to show
that these agencies work well. Mr. Janney
has made two visits to all the reservations
since his appointment. The influence of the
new agents is already seen in the greater
content of the Indians on the reservations,
their increasing willingness to work, aud the
disposition to adopt more and more the habits
of civilized life. Drunkenness is diminishing,
industry is becoming systematic; industrial
schools for the children have been instituted
and are found to succeed promisingly. The
peaoe-innking agents encourage the arts of
labor, in preference to those of war and the
chase; and already the Indians begin to ask
for implements of agriculture, in place of the
guns, ammunition, and knives they required
under the old dispensation.
From the unstudied narrative before us we
aio confirmed in the impression that maltreat
ment of every kind and degree ou the part of
Kcttlers and of Government agents has pro
duced a good deal, perhaps the largest part.
f the minery, dissatisfaction, and ferocity of
the savnges. To the inquiries of the dale
gates, complaints of knavery, thieving, vio
lence, bad or broken treaties, were the in
variable answer. What the red men wanted
was an assurance of the good fuith of the
overniuent. In some instances, ns with the
PawnocK, there was an inclination to be stub
born in their demand for something the
agents had no authority to give, and were
determined, if possible, to withhold; but they
yielded at length, on being assured that every
reasonable request should be attended to and
the influence of the authorities directed
towards their satisfaction. It was clear that
the agents were gaining power over the sim
ple creatures by their moral virtues. They
were winning contidence; and, backed as they
wore by the General Government, their words
were believed. Truthfulness and kindness
Lad been steadily making their mark, and
were slowly not so very slowly either
erasing the lines stamped ou the Indian dis
position by suspicion and anger.
Thus far the new experiment has worked
woll. The press and correspondents of
Eastern papers from Western cities bear their
testimony to the good already effected by the
Hew policy and its missionaries. Some of the
anticipations may be too sanguine; the sweet
Roulod Friends may interpret too generously
the moral and spiritual manifestations that
were exhibited to them, and build too much
on superficial signs of progress. Their faith
in human nature seems to be in advance of
their knowledge of human character. But it
is so delightful to Jiave any honest testimony
in regard to the dispositions and capacities of
the Indians, it is so pleasant to hear good
men speak hopefully of them, that we are in
clined to take their accounts literally, and be
lieve that all they prophesy will come to pass.
Surely, these fine Gospel methods will briug
it to pass, if the salvation of the poor Indians
is written in the book of destiny.
DIVORCES IN OTHER STATES.
FVom the X. Y. Times.
The question of the validity of divorces
obtained in another State has beon brought
prominently before the public by recent cir
cumstances. It may not be without interest
to see what have been the rulings of our
Courts on the subject.
An early case is Jackson vs. Jackson, de
cided in 1800. The parties were married in
this State in 1800. They lived together hero
as man and wife till 1802, when the wife went
to Terinont, declaring that she went there to
obtain a divorce. She obtained it by decree
of a Court in February, ISO;!, and then came
uj mm oiaie, ine nusnana continuing
meanwhile to reside here. The decree of the
Vermont Court, besides divorcing the parties,
decreed to the wife $1."00 alimony, aud ou
this decree she sued her husband for that
amount. The Court, Spenoer delivering the
f ic. mr-j irrro ihji CUUOU Upon
to pronounce on the legal effect of the Ver
mont divorce, but they would give the wife
no assistance in the matter, becuuse it was a
plain effort on her part to evade the force of
onr laws, and thev i'vn i.,1o-miif. r ti. ,i
T J O " ' bUO UO
fendant. ;
The next case was Pawling vs. Wilson.
The divoroe was granted to the wife in this
case by the Legislature of Connecticut, the
Lusbaud, though living here, appearing there
ana contesting the question. I he Court de
, clined to , pass on the question whether the
divoroe was obligatory here, but cpoke of the
fact that the marriage was originally con
tracted in Connecticut, as making a marked
distinction between that case and Jackson vs.
Jackson.
The next ease was Borden vs. Fitch. Fitch
'married In Connecticut in 178 1. in ino7 the
parties separated, and the wife, in 1H08, prp
cured from the Connecticut Legislature a
separate maintenance. In 181:1 Fitch pro
cured a decree of divorce in Vermont, his
wife having no actual notice of the proceed
ings. In 1814 he married a MisH Bordun, in
thin State, concealing from her the faots as to
his divorce. In 1815, the facts being learnod,
Miss Borden's mother brought suit against
Lim for damages for debauching her daughter,
aud obtained a verdict for $:(K)0. The Court
frustainod the verdict, holding that the Ver
mont divorce waj absolutely void, because
Fitch's wife was not wilhin the jurisdiction of
the Vermont Court.
The nckt case was Brndshaw vs. Heath, de- I
cided in 1835. Mrs. Bradshaw fluod for dower I
as the widow of Thomas Bradshaw, whom she
had married In 1813. The defendant proved
that in 1784, in Connecticut, she had married
Charles McDonald, who was still living. The
plaintiff proved a divorce for desertion granted
to her by a Connecticut court in 1 7!lf. It ap
peared that MoDonald was at that time living
in this State, and had no notice of the suit
for divorce. The court held the same rule,
but with a suggestion that the decreo of
divorce might perhaps be binding on parties
who acquiesced in it.
The next cose Is Visscher vs. Visschor, de
cided in 1851. The partios were married in
this State In 184. In 184C the wife obtained
from the Court of Chancory a decree of sepa
ration, not a divorce. In 1850 the husband
obtained from a court in Michigan a decree of
divorce against his wife for desertion, the
wife having no aotnal notioe. In 1851 he
married again in this State, and his first wife
thereupon brought a suit for divoroe for adul
tery in such marriage, and the court granted
it, holding that the Michigan decree was void.
The next case was McGiffert vs. MoGiffert,
decided in 185!). The parties were married
hore in 18 In 1852 the husband went to
Indiana, leaving his wife hore, and in May,
185.'?, he obtained from a court there a decree
of divorce against his wife for desertion, she
not appearing in the case. lie then married
again in Indiana, and in October, 1855, re
turned to this State with his new wife. The
first wife then sued himfor divorce, charging
that such relation was adulterous, and the
Court grantod her a divorce.
The most recent case which we have found
is the case of Todd vs. Kerr, decided in 18(t.
Mr. Todd living in this State and his wife in
New Jersey, she procured in 1814 an act to
bo passed by thi New Jersey Legislature
divorcing her from her husband. He after
wards bought real estate in Brooklyn. lie
died in 18G2 and she claimed her dower in
the real estate. The Court held that the act
could not affect his interests, and therefore
did not affect her's, and decreed in favor of
her claim.
The rule deducible from this series of de
cisions would seem to be that our Courts will
treat as void a divorce obtained in another
State, unless the divorced party appeared in
those proceedings, or was a resident of suoh
other State. It is very doubtful whether the
fact that actual notice of the proceeding was
given to the divorced party would mistuin it
without such appearance or residence. If
this is the law, is it too much to expect of
clergymen and all others who are called upon
to marry a person who has beon divorced,
that they will first satisfy themselves that
such appearance was made, or such actual
notice given, or at least that the divorced
party resided within the jurisdiction where
the divorce was obtained, lest they give sane-
iion 10 a relation wnicn our courts must de
clare to be adulterous? ;
THE MODERN DICK TUltPIN.
From t1i y. Y. Tribune.
Gentlemen of the road have become demo
ralized, we fear, since they betook themselves
to city practice. We would succrest to the
consideration of our too practical burglars the
old stories of the chivalry of Dick Turpi n and
ueniieman jacK. Alter tnose gallant outlaws
had robbed a travelling chariot they always
restored to the ladies their diamond rings,
asking sometimes the privilege of kissin" the
fair hand as they put them on. Very different
is ine practice oi our modern Knights of the
Itching palm. After the. late robborv of the
Beneficial Savings Fund in Philadelphia, in
their subsequent amicable traffic with the
directors and police for the stolen goods, they
not only demanded to retain all the cash
taken, but twenty per cent, on the bonds and
the diamonds. We do not scruple to say
boldly that tno diamonds should have been
returned. The rest was legitimate matter of
trade, but a woman s gear : It was a little
matter, but an opportunity for the gentle
guua oi burglars to snow their nobility of
boul, which unfortunately they neglected.
Their admission into society of late years.
too, renders it doubly incumbent on them to
act in these matters with a fine sense of deli
cacy and honor. Dick Tnrpin was liable to
find a pistol presented to his head by the un-
appreciative subjects of his light-fingered
skill, and if caught was sure of Newgate and
the rope. Our modern burglar, having gained
nis spoil, calmly awaits a summons to
friendly conference with the late owners of
the bonds, detectives being present merely as
mutual friends. The conference in the late
Philadelphia case, we understand, was of the
pleasantest description terrapin and a snug
glass of wine not being wanting. The parties
separated on the most amicable terms, in
deed, so impressed were our grave Quaker
brethren with their new acquaintances, that a
meddlesome editor, who gave to the transac
tion the name of compounding a felony, and
censured the Grand Jury for not talcina cog
nizance of it, was threatened with indictment
for contempt of court. The same 'jury, to
show their unimpeachable zeal, have just
made on expedition into the Philadelphia ive
Points to ferret out the keepers of ten cent
lodeiner houses. !
The bush; ess is move profitable a woll as
honorable thn lu Turpin's times. Twenty
per cent, for tireu weeks custody of another
man s bonds ia a satisfactory return for
slight investment of , trouble. No money w
reouired, and. as "e police eagorly assure
them, no danger is ih ourred. : So satisfactory
was it to the entW len concerned in the
venture in Philadelphia. tllllt they have under
taken several others sin. with equidly plea
sant results. . The lutoht, y ' believe; is that
of the Bovlston Bank- in Boston, hnd the
directors have already publish. a tUt ir invita
tionto a conference, where twt ntv P0: cent
will be offered, and we suppose terrapin and
tea, a more itsthetic drink than w in muting
the occasion, tho ancient craft of burglary
now having beon reoogni-d as one I ot tUe
liberal professions. " ,
Still, we insist if there bo any jewt lrv ia
the question, let it be returned. Begat u to
these little delicacies marks the true gen. le
num. Our friends of the drill and jimn. ,v
may find their intercourse with society mon 1
profitable aud pleasant without attention to
such tniies, but their' diameters will laok a
certain desirable chivnlrie glow. It hangs
about the memory of Turpin, alt hough,' owing
to the dull Bgo in which he lived, he was not
paid for robbery, and the man who traded
with him would have been branded hh com
pounder of a felony. The people loved him,
though the law with the old-fashioned pre
judice against theft persisted in giving
him a rcie instead of twonty per cent, j
THE RIGHTS OF CHILDREN;
from the K. Y. Motion. ,
Eighteen years ago Herbert Spenoer wrote
a chnpter on the rights of children. In this
chapter, which was considered wild and, revo
lutionary by some, in fact, a retlueiio ad ab
turdum of his entire social philosophy, tho
writer maintained that the law, "Every man
hr.h freedom to do all thut hn willu nrnviiluJ
he infringes not tho equal freodom of any
other man," applied an inuob t tuo yonng as
to the mature; that tho child had faculties to
be exercised; that it needed sope for their
oxei'cisr; that to obtain such scope it mint
have oomploto freedom freedom coexten
sive, and, consequently, rifzbts coextensive,
with those of the adult. In working out the
bearings of this principle Mr. Spencer dealt
hard blows at the roccived doctrines of pa
rental authority, rulo, and caio. lie more
man impuea mat the best thing parents coum
do for their children was to give thetti a good
letting alone. This chapter hns oTtea. occur
red to ns m connection with the reasontngs
about women's rights. It would seem at first
glance as if the extreme advocates of tho
righta of women to share, and share alike
with mon, in tho business affairs of so
ciety, were carrying out Mr. Spencer's doc
trine in good earnest. The children are to
have a good letting alone. The law of liberty
may bo trusted to look after their develop
ment. Ihe nrincinal ritrht being the right to
freedom of growth according to the natural
bent of their dispositions, the new order of
things will meet this requirement exaotly.
1 he parents being both out of the way, the
"little individuals" will be allowed to grow in
grace undisturbed. A doener elanco at Mr.
Spencor's pages, however, discloses the fact
tuat ne docs not propose to dispense alto
gether with parental supervision, but only
with certain old-fashioned, coarse, and unin
telligent forms of it. He says- to tho parents,
"Hands off. but he adds, instead of hands,
hearts. In a word, he vastlv increases the
responsibilities of mothers and fathers by
insisting that their influence shall be more
subtle and pervasive, and that, to this end,
their care shall be more steady, more con
stant, more intelligent, and tender. That to
this end acain. their characters must be of
finer mould, their culture more perfect, their
manners more Gracious: all of which is dis
couraging to the hope of foolish mothers,
that thoy are at last justified by stern philoso
phy in neglecting their children.
What will the extreme advocates ot the
rights ot women sav to this We aro aware
that before now critics have raised the objec
tion that the new reforms would, if carried
into effect, result in the neglect of children,
in their consenuont untidiness, nnruliness.
wilfulness, and lcnorance; further on. in
their viciousness and general demoralization;
and, ultimately, in the defeat of civilization
and the blighting of mankind. We are aware,
too, of tho reply which has been made to such
apprehensions, namelv, that they are ground
less; that the proper care of children does
not occupy nil tho time: that when other
duties are done, there is room for those of
the nursery; that women have brought up
largo families of children, and brought them
up well, "in tho intervals of business," they
themselves bein physicians, or teachers, or
artiuts, writers of buoks, editors of papers, or
tenders in shops; that, m fact, tho mental
freshening they got in this way was a help
rather than a hindrance to the faithful
performance of their domestic duties. To
these arguments there are several things to
reply, which, to say fully, our space forbids.
We may be permitted to entertain a doubt
respecting the truth of tho last assertion, if
laid down as a rule. We take the liberty to
demur in regard to the declaration that pre
cedes it, having seen something of the
households and of tho children belonging to
these discursive and enterprising mothers,
and seldom envyin? or desiring the same.
Wo could very properly nr."e the old saying
that, being exceptions, the women who
achieve such feats in administration at home
and abroad prove tho incapacity of women in
general to do the same thing, liistinguishea
ability furnishes no rulo for average, far loss
ior under-average, ability. A reform like
the one projected implicates all women
and nil children, as much those who want to
get rid of their offspring as those who want
to nurturo their offspring; the careless us
much as the thoughtful, the faithless as much
ns the faithful, the incompetent as much as
the competent, the vast multitude who need
to be kept at home and held to their duty by
every possible argument and inducement, ns
much as the exceedingly small number who
have faculty and spirit to spare for outside
pursuits, society is interested in tho mass of
experiences, not in a few special experiments.
The special experiments may succeed per
fectly, to the satisfaction of the most caption
critics, without at all affecting our judgment
on the main case. For all that appears thus
far, that judgment rends adversely to the
belriof that the rights of women, as interpreted
by the EeovlvtioH, for instance, are compati
ble with the rights of children to life, liberty,
and the pursuit of happiness.
