THE DIVORCE LAWS OF NEW YORK. From Theodore Tilton's Golden Age. There is but one ground for divorce in the State of New York. But we have repeatedly insisted that to limit divoroe to this one and only cause is to make a legislative mookery of the sorrows and sufferings of human hearts. And yet a correspondent thinks we ought not to meddle with so serious a sub ject, and begs us to let it alone. We cannot oblige him. There is do topio now astir on which greater courage of speeoh is needed than on this. To keep silent would be to re main criminal. Let us exhibit our meaning by referring to a couple of illustrative instances. We know of a high-minded, genial, and admirable gentleman, who a few years ago married a lady of good social position and many personal charms. But her temper had been inherited, by the Darwinian prooess, direct from the tigress. At times she would illustrate in a fearful degree the maxim that "anger is a short madness." In her rages she "was dangerous, and several times threatened her husband's life. Once, when excited to an unusual degree, she sprang at his throat, clutched him till he was black in the faoe, and -appeared intent on strangling him a catas trophe which was averted only by the pre sence of mind of a nurse who, on hearing the noise, entered the room, and seizing a bottle of chloroform which stood on the man tel, opened it under the nostrils of the infu riated woman and thus melted her into quiet ness and slumber. A family ooanoil was thereupon called, and a separation between the husband and wife ensued. This man, who, by all who know him, is esteemed one of the best of husbands, is now debarred by the laws of the State in which he lives from marrying another woman. Now, by what right do the law-makers of this State forbid this man to be divoroed from this woman and to marry another ? What just reason can be assigned for interdicting him from re building his broken household on a happier foundation? Why should our statute book condemn him to live a solitary life? What right has the body politio to interfere with his heart's wishes for some domestic peace during his remaining years? We con eider that the law which thus binds together this husband in formal marriage with a wife from whom he long years ago separated through fear of his life, partakes something of the cruelty of the semi-monster from whom he thus fled. Such a law we denounoe as unworthy of an enlightened civilization. It has no foundation in reason and morality, and ought to be repealed. Furthermore, we know of a woman who, gifted by nature with a more than common , ingenuity in delicate manufactures an arti san of rare skill in subtle fabrics is forced to use all ber earnings for the support of a drunken husband who never earns a cent for himself, who treats her with habitual cruelty, and who is sometimes not merely brutal but almost fiendish in the outrages which he at tempts against her person. This wife would gladly be legally set free from the clutches of this brute. Her life is made wretched by his loathsome presence under her roof and in ber chamber. The case is one which, to those who know something of its details, is of peculiar violenoe on the one hand and suffering on the other. But as this case exists, like the other, in the State of New York, there is no law on our statute book under which this woman can ask for a divorce. Now will our correspondent say that she is fairly treated by our legislators? Have they any right to impose this perpetual yoke upon this unoffending viotim? Can our State law justify itself before God and man for such an encroachment on the personal liberty of a broken-hearted woman? Why should not the statute give to this woman a release from her wretchedness, and permit her to marry a man whom she could love, and whe would be a blessing to her life, instead of chaining her perpetually to a wretch whom she loathes, and who curses her existence from year to year? These two cases which we have quoted are not parables but facts. Nor are they isolated or unusual. They are typioal of thousands of other such instances. Our society is full of similar misalliances. Skeletons like these exist in many a family, making what out wardly is called a home inwardly a enamel Louse. now in view 01 uiese gnastiy tacts, we want the law to cease from compelling them to exist. We want to open a gate by which the gentleman to whom we have referred in the first case, and the lady to whom we have referred in the Becond, can escape from their present imprisonment in the Castle of . Giant Despair. But the State of New York would have kept even Mr. and Mrs. McFarland in their bonds. The last-named and agonized woman had to nee to another commonwealth for the remedy which she was denied here. And there are ten : thousand Abby UoFarlands whose breasts are bleeding with just suoh sorrow as carried this sufferer to Indiana to seek a divorce. A great multitude of her bruised and beaten sinters who have not exhi bited her courage suffer without a sign. And society, by imposing upon them an unjust law forbidding their release, becomes particeps oriminit in their griefs. This is what we mean by denouncing the existing partial and limited legislation on the subject of divorce. Our correspondent may think there is no just occasion to touch such a theme. We judge otherwise. Oar views on the whole subject may be distinctly summed up as follows: The law of marriage is, "Whom God hath joined together let not man put asunder:" and the law of divorce is, "Whom God hath put asunder let no man keep together, . u DO WE ACCEPT REVOLUTION? From, tk N. 7. World. If the radical interpretation of amend ments XIII, XIV, and XV were warranted. particularly that interpretation of amendment XIV which hnds ground in it lor the Ku-klux act, then recognition of the validity of those amendments would be acceptance of an ao complished revolution a revolution which lacked but time to blot out State govern ment, to expunge the Federal Government, to make prevail one consolidated centralized government. No suoh revolution in the structure of our institutions as the Grant Re publicans are attempting; can the Democratic party be brought to "aocept;" no such "sitaa tion will they recognize: no suoh "new departure" from the doctrines that are dearest to them win tney validate wltn even the as tent of fcilence. The Democratic party would oase to ba Democratic; it would have beguu to be (not a Republican party, but) a Or nut-radio d party tbe party of revolution, the party ( imperialism if .for one imUnt. if in oiij election, If in one Congressional distriot of any State, It submitted without indignant protest, without organized and determined resistance, to any and every such intolerable interpretation of the Constitution as it is. It was not alone Democratic Senators who said in opposing the Ku-klux bill it' was Senator Trumbull who said: "The question before us is really a question whether we will revolutionize our Government." This proposed revolution none but Grant radicals accept. Not one Republican of Democratic antecedents can aocept it. All Democrats at the North, and no Democrats more earnestly than the Democrats at the South, loathe and set their heels upon this plan for converting our Federal republic into a solid empire. More keenly than the North dues the South feel that under such an imperial State local liberties would be lost; more keenly does the North feel than tbe South that the lasting unity of such a monstrous inflexible State would b e impossible. In discarding the three amendments from the issues of 1872, the Democratic party sur renders not one syllable of any of its past authentio utterance of the rights of States. Northern Democrats deny, as they have always denied, that secession is such a right; and Southern Democrats accept the situation that war has ended debate. But every other State right defined or reserved in the Federal Constitution, asserted in Democratic plat forms, affirmed by the Supreme Court of these States United to these and all of them they cling, accepting no revolution which would melt them indiutinguishably in Grant's impe rial brazier. Thus the Democratio party could not and would not discard from the issues of 1872 the three amendments if they justi fied those usurpations which Grant and his party have cut the ties and laid rails for in the Ku-klux act usurpation of the State rights of police, usurpation of the State riuht to have the suspension of the habeas corpus writ kept within the legislative discretiou and not delegated to a candidate for re-election to the Presidency. Usurpation of the State right to make and administer all criminal acd property laws would be as well justified for the gate is left wide open if the XlVth amendment could justify the aotual usurpa tions of the Ku-klux act. But it justifies neither these nor those not one of them. We are aware that the Ku-klux act is en titled "An act to enforce the provisions of the fourteenth amendment to the Constitution of the United States and for other purposes," but not a whit the more has the act that or any other legal foundation. We are aware also what can be amrmed concerning the dubiety that should continue till the Supreme Court pronounce whether or no the Ku-klux act is thus well based, as in this passage from the Boston Advertiaer: "To put Its Issue In Its own words. The veant in the dough 1b what this Journal has sall about the Ku-klux law aud the purpose of Graut Republicans to blot out the States, ao as to leave practically but one government, with its political centra In Wash Df ten.' Now aa the Ku klux law was passed under autnonty or new provisions oi ttie constitution, by which the States have expressly delegated to Cou cress powers to legislate lor the protection of cer tain personal rights aud tbe prohibition of certain Mate interferences, which, constitutional provisions have never yet been lu any way before trie Supreme Court, we do not see how the question is to be de termined by decisions made before the Con stitution was ameBded. If the World Is honest In Its professions of acquiescence lu the Constitution as it is, it la impertinent for it to be now bringing laws passed in pursuance of the new constitution to ine test or judicial decisions uuder the old one. Whether by this process fairly applied it would succeed In making Its point Is Immaterial. Supposing It should, it would oe of no more practi cal consequence than if it should succeed, as it un doubtedly could, in snowing tuat the Ku-klux law does not conform to the Articles of Confederation adopted before there was any Constitution. The World's notion or appiyicg the decisions of the Su preme Court to what thai journal has said about the purpose of Grant Republicans to blot out the States so as to leave but one government, would be one of the most impudent of presumptions If It were not the most grotesque and farcical." The history of the fourteenth amendment is conclusive, without reverting to the test of judicial deoisions, which either prove our thesis, or else prove that the fourteenth ex punged propria vigore the whole Constitution and all thirteen of its previous amendments. Mr. Bingham reported the first draft of the amendment. To it was objeoted that it did authorize Congress to do what a radioal Oon- Kess (seeing no other hope of escape from 3ing power in '72) has attempted in the Ku-klux act. Republicans not wearing Grant's collar now, united witn . Democrats in de nouncing Mr. Bingham's proposal., It was never brought to a vote in either house. Af terwards Mr. Thaddeus Stevens introduced all of the first section of amendment four teenth as it now stands, except the first sen tence, and excluding therefrom the de nounced clauses of the original Bingham pro posal. That Congress now, in furtherance of a political scheme, has given a construction to Amendment XIV whioh obliterates this differ ence is no proof that Amendment XIV war rants the ftu-klax aot as tne tsmgnam propo sal might have warranted it, but is proof that the imperialists feared defeat even before Congress, then; and that when closer to the peril they dragooned their more scrupulous associates thus to attempt to avert next year's del eat. But "decisions made before the Cons tit a tion was amended" a fourteenth time do enable every lawyer, every publicist, every reasoning man of trained or untrained faoul ties, to Bee that the Ku-klux aot is downright usurpation, infamous in itself for the uses to whioh Grant may put it in the interest of his own dictatorship, but much more portentous for the revolution which it inaugurates in the interest of the imperialists and consolidation lets among us, of whom Grant is but the present file-leader. The first part of Amend' ment XIV confers United States and State citizenship according to birth, naturalization, and residence here, ihen follow three classes of prohibitions addressed to a State. Citizens shall not by a State have their immunities and privileges of United States citizenship abridged by the making or enforcing of any law; persons shall not by a State be deprived of life, liberty, or property without due pro cess of law; persons shall not by a State be denied the equal protection of the laws. Now, prohibitions precisely similar in legal effect to these were already contained in tne tenth section of the Constitution, whioh for bids a State making treaties, coining money, emitting bills of credit, granting titles of nobility, or keeping troops or ships of war in time of peace without consent of Congress. Tbe enforcement of those prohibitions has been easy, simple, and effectual under the warrant of the Judiciary aot of 178'J, section zo, wmcn gives me bupreme uonrt junsdio tion oi a case involving repugnancy or a State law to the Federal Constitution. In other words, the prohibitions upon a State in section 10 oi tne constitution have been in variably enforced by the judicial power, and the judicial power is abundantly competent to enforce the prohibitions upon a State of amendment XIV, But the Ku-klux act usurps to the Congress and tbe Executive the power of directly enforcing the proliibitious i t amendment XIV; and then to get leverage fur the usurpation prepares a, fictitious denial of its guarantees, a false aud fraud ulaut pretense of such denial which the President (a candidate for re-election) is to judge of the lutrils of. . . There needs no new decision of the Su preme Court to set the baselessness of the Ku-klux act npon amendment XIV. or upon any other clause of the Constitution, in a more glaring light. As prohibitions the latest are not merely similar, they are identi cal with the earliest. And their enforcement requires no new distribution of the powers of the Government, much less a bold Congres sional usurpation to itself and to the Execu tive of the sufficient, legal, and orderly power of the Supreme Judiciary. As for the Ku-klux assignment to the Exe cutive of the power whioh rests solely in the legislative discretion to suspend the privilege of tbe writ of habeas corpus, it is not pre tended that it has warrant in amendment XIV. It is unprecedented even in the history of this party of usurpation and revolution. For when to Pre' idi nt Lincoln a similar assign ment was made, there was at least the insuffi cient reason of existent rebellion to excuse if not to warrant it. But now there is neither rebellion nor invasion, nor the pretense nur the likelihood of any. Yet that power in the Ku-klux act is not only unlawfully assigned, but in its fourth section Grant himself, a candidate for re-election, is attempted to be made judge of when the "publio safety" re quires the suspension of the great writ of civil liberty. Henry Laurens was President of the Con tinental Congress in 1771). In 1780 be was sent as Minister to Holland. On his way he was captured and imprisoned in the Tower of London for fourteen months. When Lord Shelburne booame premier Laurens was brought np on habeas corpus and released. After bis release be was treated with great Kindness and respect by the British authori ties. He dined with Lord Shelburne. After dinner the conversation turned on the sepa ration of the two countries. Lord Shelburne remarked: "1 am sorry for your people." "Why so?" asked Laurens. "They will lose the habeas corpus," was the reply. "Lose the habeas corpus!" said Laurens. "Yes," said Lord Shelburne. "We purchased it with centuries of wrangling, manj years of fighting, and had it confirmed by at least fifty acts of Parlia ment. All this taught the nation its value, and it is no ingrained into their creod, as the very foundation of their liberty, that no man or party will ever dare trample on it. Your people will pick it nd and attempt to use it; but having cost them nothing, they will not know how to appreciate it. At the first great internal feud that you have the majority will trample on it and the people will permit it to be done, and so will go Aoar liberty! " May God forbid it: THE INTERNATIONAL ASSOCIATION. From the Ji. F. Tribune, The International Christian Moral Soienoo Association, to inaugurate which Dr. Cather of London has been visiting our principal cities during the winter and spring, held its first Constituent Congress in Philadelphia last week, and assumed permanent name and shape. The association professes, in brief, to be for the purpose of defining and manifesting the unity ol tbe Catholic Christian Church, which it very properly holds to bo the sum of all evangelical denominations; its work will also be the elevat ng and strengthening of its members, and developing tne resources and agencies of the Church of Christ. An annual Congress is to be held in each country, and an International CongresB once in five years, for the disous Bion of such questions as are common only to all Christian churches, out of whioh discus sions they propose to eliminate a catholio science of morals. To become a member of the association membership in some evan gelical church is required, and also, as is awkwardly expressed, "jealousy for the honor of Christ and the purity and efficiency of His church, and an expression of this by the an nual payment of $25 for clerical and $50 for lay members." This money is to be appro priated to "working the association, holding the annual congress, and publishing and dis tributing its literature. ' ' ' Now, here, to the eyes of a secular outsider, appears an admirable scneine, thoroughly pure and beneficent, and thoroughly unprac tical. Uow many castles in tne air built by devout people out of great ideas fall to pieces for the lack of a little of the adhesive mortar of common sense! Dr. Cather and other good men having no toleration for intolerance, pro pose to unite all Christ's people in that bond of spiritual love witn whion it was liis errand to imbue them. Bnt, in order tnat tne acolyte at St. Albans, and the itinerant Methodist in London, and the disciple of John Knox, should be made, with a throb of brotherly love in their hearts, to feel that tney nave alike but one hope in death or life, and that that hope is Christ, is it necessary to maintain a system of National Congresses to keep up an intri cate machinery of presidents, vice-presidents, secretaries, and executive councils, at what cost let the management of each individual churoh testify? The idea of each church in every nation sending up its delegates to claim universal brotherhood under Christ is touch ing and beautiful, we acknowledge. But do these discussions, in sober fact, contribute to unitv? Hieh Churchmen, and Presbyterians, and Baptists are precisely like other kinsfolk they are apt to love each other better when they live apart. There are few Christians, we think, who would not gladly have welcomed some practical method of bringing them near enough to all their brethren to feel that the same fire warmed their hearts. But how many can afford to pay $250 for a grand council once in five years where their great men may hnd out, as tney assuredly will do, how much tney disagree The ordinary Bpeotator might suggest that there were other bonds oi union than expsn sive organizations which are to begin and end in talk. Dr. Cather might take a hint from an old story whioh we all learned in our primers. A certain man finding that his sons, who were grown and gone from him, had be come enemies, brought them home and talked to them of the holiness of brotherly love for a long time, but in vain. Mom, and John, and Jacob, were men with creeds and habits of their own, and both creeds and habiti clashed. Then, as they were about to sepa rate, he led them to the house of their younger brother, who had fallen into want and wretch edness. One made haste to comfort him in his sick-bed, another brouqht warmth and plenty into the miserable home, the third took his children and pressed them to his breast. And as they looked at each other with tears iu their eyes, they remembered tbe old time again, and were once more oniy dovs and brothers If the "International Association" had plaoed before tbe churches some one demand for prauticul hearty help, they would have de veloped more "brotherhood" in one year's work than in a dozen councils. The world wants no new, cumbrous science of moral ethics. It needs but to see more plainly the pcinttd finger of its Manter at His needy chil dren, and to hear His words, "The poor ye Lute always with you." It is but a week or two since one of our brothers whom the world has maltreated cruelly was among ns, looking at onr wealth and civilization with gloomy eyes, and turning back to starvation and ignorance in his wigwam with that old loud and exceeding bitter cry of Esau to his God: "Hast thou no blessing for me, also, Oh, my Father?" The money required by this new association would build a church in every Indian villnge and Bupply every tribe with teachers. Yet tbe savage whom we hive wronged cries in vain for succor, while Christ's churches send up solemn deputations to assure each other that they are in verity His children. It is not yet too late, we are sure, for our friends to give to their under taking a more praotioal basis, and one whioh will be more acceptable to thoughtful Christians. THE TICIIBORNE LAWSUIT, t From the H. Y. Times. The Tichborne case continues to attract eager attention in London, and thu balanoe of testimony to exhibit that bewildering suc cession of contradictions, by which this re markable trial has from the first been char acterized. Before the examination of the plaintiff, tho putative Sir Roger Tiohborne himself, bis case looked extremely strong. Many credible witnesses had sworn point blank to his identity, and other corroborating evidence seemed quite impregnable. But now that tbe sharp counsel on the other side have taken the claimant in hand, his chances appear to be sensibly diminished. The confusion and inconsistency of some of his answers to questions, his strange illness, which has recurred more than once during his examination, his total ignorance of per sons with whom the true Sir Roger is de clared to have been acquainted, combine with other untoward incidents to give the affair a more dubious look than ever; and if, as is threatened, the Solioitor-General does in fact put in the witness-box the father, brother, and sister of Arthur Orton, the Wapping butcher, to prove that the claimant is that person, his hopes of enjoying the baronetcy must, to all appearance, be seriously clouded. Among other critical matters sifted by the plaintiff 's examination, that of his ignorance of French has been much dwelt upon. The defendant's advisers plainly rely much on this weak point of their opponent. A volume of Chateaubriand was lately produced in court, which tho witness attested to be his own. He, at least, believed it to be his own. It certainly had been the property of the true Sir Roger. Now, of course, one more readily forgets how to speak a lan guage, once having known it, than to read it. The test as regards speaking French had already been applied. In fact, the plaintiff and his counsel admitted squarely that he had forgotten all the French he ever knew. On this occasion ne was asked to real a page from the Chateaubriand before him. Ue replied, "I don't profess to do it." The Lord Chief Justice, in apparent surprise, said, "Jo you mean to say you can not read i rench in i rencn, not to translate it lo wnicn answer was made, "No; I have quite forgotten the lancusce. I can't read my own letters." On this tbe foolicitor-ueneral expressed nis re gret, Baying that was precisely what he had been about to ask tne witness to do. ine Lord Chief Justice appears to have conveyed to the claimant at tbis juncture a distinct idea of prejudice against him, for presently we find Sir Roger, or Arthur Orton, remonstrat ing to tbe court as follows: "Your lordships is very sharp upon me. I feel in duty bound to say so. Since I have been in this box the other side have required no counsel at all. Your lordships seem determined that justice shall not be done me." To which the Chief Justice made the caustic reply, "I must trouble J you to be more decent in your observations, and to answer the questions promptly. ' It, for tne Base oi hypothesis, it is assumed that the claimant, while astonishingly well "coached," is in truth an impostor, it must be admitted that the latest developments lend great plausibility to the theory. So long as the examination refers to things in which he is manifestly well up, tne claimants re plies are reasonable and coherent; but when taken out of his depth that is, when inter rogated, through the ingenuity of counsel, on topics that he might be presumed to be equally at home in as with others with which he is acknowledged on all sides to be familiar ne nounders and excites suspicion. The following, . for example, looks exceedingly equivocal:- ' . The Solicitor-General Can you give me the name of any book you read with your tutor ou your tour? Witness I den't remember what they were : they were the general books read In that day. Q Just tell me one. A. I dont remember, o. Can't you give me the name of a single book, you read wltn your tutor? A. 1 can't Just now. C But now la the time. Can t you give me tbe name of one or them? A. They were the general books. O. Can't you give us toe name oi a single one? a. o. u, The ordinary school-books; you were there, you Know, until you were niieen or sixteen? a. jnoi quite so long as that ; I did not commence Latin and Greek until I went to Stonyhurst. U. You have sworn your tutor taught you a little Latin? A. 1 don't think he did ; he taught me reading, writ- book; he was my only tutor, and was with me four or rive years. C Can't you recollect anything else he taught jou7 A. 1 can't remrmoer anytnlag but grammar. Q. Did ouread any history or France or of England? A. I can't say; 1 read several books 1 can't give you the name of a single book: he taught uie arithmetic;! don't think tnat I got be yond simple division; I only went one tour with my mother." , . We are aware that it is explained that Sir Roger is an exceptional person, that he drank card for some time, tuat he has been wounded, end has experienced, from various causes, cerebral derangement, yet it is somewhat sur prising that his memory Bhonld be so clear and accurate to the minutest detail about other things that happened at the same time and so obscure and unsatisfactory about this, Other extraordinary complications have been brought forward, on the other hand, in the examination, which appear bo totally useless and, if considered as fabrications, for the plaintiff's case so absurdly prejudicial, that to many minus they will confirm be. lief in his identity. Thus, he swore most positively to the seduction of his cousin with great reluctance, it Bhonld be said the lady Bitting meanwhile in open court, and gave a leng history of connected, circumstances, which the defense cannot ap parently upset. Such statements as this, and others not essential, it would seem, to , the establishment of his case, and at the same time offering numerous vulnerable points of attack, the claimant advanced, and stood elaborate crops-questioning upon, with per fect freedom, and we cannot help thinking that all this is incompatible with tLe theory of imposture. On the last day of the examina tion, the report of which has oome to hand, the witness begged to be excused from going on; "I cannot be responsible for any answer that I may give to-day," he said, "lam in Buch in tense pain." A consultation then took place between the Court and counsel, and the case was postponed by agreement until Thursday, June 15. So far, the interest of the trial has been kept np in a manner not short of amaz ing. The n.obt ingenious novel writer could not have devised a plot in which hopes and fears, probabilities and doubts, should be more artfully adjusted and balanoed; and we fancy that the cleverest of lawyers no leas than thn Ipnnt f ntnllinanf nt Inrmnn mint, be perfectly mystified, so far, as to whether this A 1 : . . . . it n mi l cucruirio uiainiaut do indeed Oir iwoger xicu borne, Baronet, or Arthur Orton, the Wapping butcher. , .
