On tho completion of tha rallway this oxpectation was realized, and tho competition which has grown up by the cor uclion of rnilways ‘crossi it at various, points, and forming, in connection with L rallwoys, direct lines from all ssctions of Atlantie ports, was not suficlent to serlously affoct ita grain trailic until tho last year, The digastrous firs at Chicago in October, 1871, had Joft us but ono grain mmhnuufi which was fillod corly in January, restricting grain shipments to Chicago u; 41 the openling of navigation in April.

Tomporn= xy Mnintennnco and $200.for Logal Sorvicen U On tho Blako caso heing called up, yosterdoy morning, on tho chancory side of tho Buperor Court, bofore Judgo Gary, his Honor rofarred to the nuthoritios cited on Baturday. Mr. Horvoy callod his Honor's attontion to the fact.that the now odition spolon of on Saturdny would not bo Toady till noxt month, and his Honor ssid ho ox- poctea his docision on tho polnt now raisod would bo givn In timo to bo includod in the new adition, and tho counsol said porhaps the edition waa boing dolayod for tho opinionj nftor which liitlo bit of logal joviality; st the expouse of tho - dliatery odl- tlon, tho Court flnished his considoration of tho authoritios, and slowly dolivored himsolf of his ideas on tho mattors submitted. His Honor ssid that tho quostion of tho juris- diction of this Court was alroady sottlod, and thoro was nothing to bo anid about that. Tho sab that had given tho jurisdiotion provided that tho Court should mao nn ordor whoro necossary for monoy for tho prosocution of tho suit. Fhore- foro, it woyld not bo ot all necossary for him to rofor to tho quoation of juriudiotion, sinco he had no doubt whatevor on tho point. What had to bo decided wns tho question as to tho meaning of tho languago used respecting what money was nocossnry to tho proscoution of tho suit; forinstanco, wos it nacossary that the plaintit should live in ordor to prosecute ?-and did the term * monoy necoesary to proscoute” includo ‘morioy to live, lifo being nocessary in order to prosccute. Mr. Horvoy thought tho torms woro synono- ‘mons. A . Tho Conrt eaid not nocosearily o, Tho com- plainant muot live. If sho intonded to pros- ceuto, sho must live, aud if the Jaw contemplat- od_giving hor tho ‘maans to prosceuto, it wos difficult to 800 how sho could A0 so without sho was socurod also tho means ‘to live. That was Do tho mattor prasontod itself to him, 8o far a8 Do hind considored it. * M, Horvoy—Sho éan livo withont alimony. Tho Court—DBut sho cannot livo without ali- mont. ; 3. Horvoy—Yos, but alio could got hor ai- iment by arning it. This was practically sn ap- plication for alimony. Sho (Alra. Blnke) sppliod to tho Court for monoys for pecial purpoo. Tho statato allowed alimony whero tho dofund: ant Em\'ud to bo in the wrong, but where ho Lad not boon proved to havo committed o wrong it did seom unreasonablo to construe the statute to maan that 1o must pay. - Tho act of 1667 gave Juriadiction to tho Court to_allow moncy to tho complainant for tho prosccution of tho suit. It avo tho Court jurisdiction to allow her moneys for tho purposo of living,—nn ho read it,—it it could be shown that sho o liviug apart from Tior husband, through no fuult of horown, and it hor lsbaid could bo proved to possoss amplo moans, 1o understood that to mean- hat she was not o bo compelled to prosouto Lior suit out of hor own earning, after sho hnd succoeded in showing thab the dofondant_was gwlty of ox- polling hor, or whatover tho Court should con- pidor good catiso. Lf tho sok did not monn this ; it tho meaning was not Lalioved to be 8o clearly exprouse that it was not -necessury touso any other words, how eney it weald linve boon 0 lavo sdded » word, nnd solled tho mattorl Wit woa tho grammatical oonstruction o bo placod on the pliraso? It was not to givo hor mouess to Iive, but lo givo hor monoy to prosocuto, 'and, whilo tho suit iu 0 trunk Tilinols to tho .| in progress, tho husband shall poy tho costs, If thils Gourt should coustrue tho law to bo that ihe dofondant could bo mado to puy for tho mafntonnce of tho complainant, tho courts, already ovorcrowded with litigants, would Lot como overwholmed with suits for mlpnmtn main- tonance, and the complainnnts would not, In all cases, bo found too anxious to proceed. It would be an casy way of pmxn&; on idlo exigt- enco fora lady to marry, and, on tho first caprico, leave Lier husband, ‘and, by reprosenta~ tion to tho Court that sho hnd no menns of sup- port, obtain & maiutenanco until cho thought proper to prosecuto tho suit. It would bocoma an fntolorablo_ovil that no court should oncour- ago. Tho councol ropresentod tho caso from numorous points of viow, and concluded a longthoned argument by praying the Court to be carcfal in a construction that might open tho door to » grent deal of fraud and irouble. The Coutt enid ho must consider the intent of tho statuto to bo thnt means for prosccuting suite must includo the means of Living. He re- viewod tho casos cltad on Saturday, snd_thoy strongthonod Lis opinion ; the Tiglieh Chane collor holding that it would bo timo-to give an ordor to tho wifo whon she progonted horscl at the hiouso of lior husband, and ho_oxpellod hor. 1t paymcnt dopondod upon expulsion, it Accmod tl:at at any timo tho pay could bo atoppcd by the husband consing thooxpulsion. Tho powors and privilogos of matriod women had boon vory much changed and incroned; their ocarnings aro their own, and it hnd lecomo quilo o sorious _quostion, . although ono mot necessary to bo decidod thoro, how far thoir in- creasiad rights might affoct this quostion of di- vorce. It hud not beon tho thoory of the law that the man having sbundant mesns to support his wifo should conipol hor to manual labor in ordor to proscoute suit againnt Lim for divorce. Tt would bo no answer, in such o suit, to sy that tho woman was n ablo-bodied worran, and that sho must earn bor living. His Honor re- forrad at considorablo- longth to tho argument of tho counsol, aimply, onlarging in dofail on tho viow of his remarks at tho start forashndowod, conoluding by stating tht ot tho prosont state of the prococdings, when tho only ovidonco producod was that tho marriago oo- currod, and that oxpulsion of the wifo from Lomo liad folloswod, and innsmuch as sho is with out monua of support, ho must grant her o ‘monthly llowanco upos whick to livo, which Lio would placo at tho minimum, and » peoial al Towanco for legal oxponscs. Tho question of how much i would bo woll to allow for monthly oxponros was lightly dis- cunsod, tho dofendant stuting that **ulio lived on 26 & month lnst wintor;” aud His Honor finally fixed tho amount at €50, that amount to b paid immadiatoly, and n similer amount on tho firut of avery subjuquent month, For logal oxponsos, §200 was allowed, tho Judgo stating that it cir: cumstances required It tho amounts would hava to be incroasod.
