The Domoerats of the Sixth Congressional District of Now York mot last cvening and nom- inated tho Hon. 8. 8, Cox for Congress, Senator Morton’s speech at Athens, Ohio, in which he declared that this 'ere age in Amorl- ean politics was the purcst that the world had over soen, does not scem to have been romarka~ ‘bly conyinein, Evanston, our suburban noighbor, seoma to bo emulous of Chicago in the way of scnsntions. Day beforo yesterdoy ithnd o dofaleation, and yestorday a serious fire, destroying one of tho largest stores in ono of the finest ‘blocks in tho town, and involving a loss of §25,000. The moat stirring local events yeaterday wore the burning of two planing-mills, involving & Loss of sbout £50,000 and throwing & large num- ber of workmen out of employment, and the shiooting of one gambler by another. The ro- gult in tho lattor caso wosnot &s serious s in $ho former, nlthough, o8 between gamblers and planing-mills, tho former might be spared moro opasily than the Intie: John M. Penrson, Esq., of the Raflrond and Warchouse Commissioners, arrived in this city yestorday, baving boon dolegated by the Board to fuveetigata the charges proferred againat tho Hough Elevator Company, of presenting fraud- nlent rocoipts for the shipmont of grain to tho Rogistrar for cancelation. If the charges nre substantinted, tho case will bo brought before the Grand Jury. Tho investigation takes placo to-day. Tho Indianapolis Exposition, which closed o fow days since, turns out to hove been a finan- cial failure, contrary to the goneral expectation. Tho result shows n losa of $88,000, which falla upon morchonts in Indinunpolis, who had guar- goteed tho enterprise. This uncxpeoted do- nouement has caused such surpriso that an in- veatigation will probably bo demanded. It was supposed from the very outsot to the close, judging from the reports of the manngers, thab the books would show a handsome profit, Tho sovonth onnual meeting of ithie Army of tho Tonnesseo was held at Toledo yesterday. Gen, Shorman prosided, and Gon, Logan woe the orator of the day. In addition to the sot oration, Gons. Belknap, ‘Shoridan, Pope, and others mode addresses, snd Gon. Grant eaid & fow words, The procecdings of the day bad no other significance then a rovival of tho war memories nnd o fightiug over of tho battles. To-day thero will be a military display, snd o Dbunquet at night will closo tho procoodings. The Freo Religious Association, which is now In seasion in New Yorlk, throws ita doors wide open to everybody, evango'ical or unovaogelical, and discusses all sorts of subjocts in o froe nnd easy way.

Boucher, and two Btorckeepers, Wobb and Schlsy, have mnow been suspended aud others nseigned to their places. The Gauger, instead of attending to his Autics, hos relied wupon the Storckecpers to moke his reports, and has proved himself to be in- efliclert and lazy, while both Storokeepera have kept their rocords arroncously, indulged. in sovoral flagrant violations of law,‘and onoof thom, in .addition, Las beon .consuming tho whisky In hia oharge. Afr. A. J. Poppleton,- of Omaha, is and has boen for some years an attorney of tho Union Puoifio Railrond. Ho has also boon somewhat intorested in politics, having onco beon a éan- didato for Congress. In the county election, which was docided day before yestorday, Mr. Poppleton espoused the cause of one of the can- Aidates for Shierif?, a man named Grebe, and wn- dortook to secnre his ‘clection through tho voto of the railrond employes. Ho addressod the fol- . lowing telogram to tho shops : E Oscama, Oct, 19, 1872, To 8. H. 2. Clark and T. I, Komball: Tho voto of the shops will probably decide tho elec- tlon, and it {8 safd it will go wolia’ ngainst Grobo for Shorlff, Ho bas sorved the road better tlan sny Sheriff wa have over had, Oan't you givo him that voto? I thiink yon should, if possible. If you ngree, instruct the proper partios to glve him the vote, and eend ma o copy of your telegram, # A.7. POPPLETON. This telegram was intercopted in the Omaha office and found its way to the opposition nowa- papers, where it was ‘mado public. Mr. Popple- ton camo out in o card and tried to explain ; but the fact that he wanted to coorce the shops to vote for Grebo becauso ‘‘ho bas sorved the rond boiter than any Bherift wo have ever rad" could not be rubbed out, and'tho result Is that Mr. Grobo has beon deo- foated, though his oleotion was conceded befors Mr. Poppleton’s dispatch wag made publie. An- other result was tho dischargo of two tolograph operatora who confessed to complioity in expos- ing the tolegram, Thoy have boen placed on tho black-list, and will bave to go into some othor lino of business, "If thoy oseapo prose- cution st the hands of the Telograph Com- pany, it will bo beceuse tho statates of Nobraska aro defective in not providing s pon- alty for tho theft of privato telegrame. This lively lttlo opisode, which furnished Omaba with & roal soneation, hss two morals, viz: Railway officials will do well tolot their em- ployos voto 88 they. plonse; and telograph’ operators had batter not divulgo the secrots of their officos. THE ELECTIONSB, Tither tho panic, or something olse, struck the Bopublican party in Towa and Ohio on Tues- day. Tho returns published this morning indi- cato that tho Anti-Monopoly party Lave carried ho formor State and the Democrats tho latter. Tho loss of tho formor Btatei if it Is lost, is 8 fatal and irroparable ono. Olio may be recov- ored from the sncient enomy, but Iowa, if gone, in gono forover; ‘and if not gono now, It will probably go noxt time. Pennsylvania has beon saved to the Republicans only by the stereatyped fraud in Philidelphis Oity. Tho Btato Sopators elocted in Towa this year will bo mombers of the Logialaturo which oleots tho noxt United Btates Senator. The Ohio Logialature chosen thia year elects o Senator, and, necording to presout appenrancos, will ro- turn Thurma e ] ‘WALL BTREET. The stook markot- “reacted™ yosterday, but is still in o very groggy condition. At the opon- ing thoro was o gaod deal of wild hitting among tho combsiaunts, nnd prices declined below the lowest figuro of the provious day. Judgo Blutchford dissolved tho iujunction which had tled up. sbout 100,000 shares of the Dird Grinnell stcok bolonglng to Vanderblly and his friends, and it was &t ono timo expected that this would como upon the strect in an avalancho, but, as it did not, a firmer feeling eneucd. It was discovered {hat Vanderbilt had mado an srrangoment with {ho banks, which had furnished tho money to Dird Grinnell & Co,, to carry thesa atocka for the prosont,—an arrangemeut very onsily mado, wo should judge, since the atocks wore nat worth tho monoy advanced upon them, Vanderbilt thon mado & push at tho market to carry up his favorites to thowr old figures, and succoeded por- tiolly. Thore was & roaotion backward at the close, aud tho market closed foverish snd aguish, The only notablo failure of the day was that of the old and roputable banking-houso of Gil- man, Son & Co., No. 45 Exchango Placo, 1n tho genoral money market greenbacks wero firmer and more sctive, the preminm ranging from 3¢ to 1 por cont, Gold foll from 103 to | 108%¢.

The mor« chanta roport collections easior and business improving, 8ales of flour, wheat, and corn on the Produce Exchange smounted to §825,000. JUDGE BLATCHFORD AND THE VANDER~ BILT BECURITIES, Tho oxcltomont oconsionod in Wall stroct by Judgo Blatchford's declsfon, enjolning a cortnin numbor of brokers from solling about $12,000,- 000 of Vandorbllt stock, pledged with them by @. B, Grinnoll & Oo. (who woro known ag Von- dorbilt's brokers),indicnles that thore was & gon- oral conviction in New York that plodgos, or col- Intorals on eall-loans, can be sold by tho holder in default of paymont of tuo noto to sscuro which thoy liave been hypothecated, Thoro is no doubt that thoro has beon o very goneral im- prosslon throughout tho country that bankrupt- oy procoodings could not effect this class of so- curitios in any way, Judgo Blatohford's declsion shotwa that this Impression is, to a certain dogroo, orroncouse If tho pledge bo bona flde, aud the proporty has boon hypothacated bofora the debtor hns become insolvent, its character as so- ourity for the debt cannot bo changod; but, nevertheless, a8 Judgo Dlatchford has held, it may bo called in among the othor nssots of the ‘baukrapt, and held subjoct to the -order of tho Court, at tho Intter's discrotion. Judgo BDlatoh- ford's dacision is not a now construction of the law. The same ground hag beon taken in many provious bankruptey casos.” Tho ronson it has attractod particular attontion is becauso so un- usually largo an nmonnt of theso pledges lns beon tied up in this case, and becauss the look- up of those &bauritios has oxeriod an fmportant influenco on the wholo of tho stock .mar- ket, Tho modification mado by the Cowt in tho -cass of Blako® Bros. & Co, who 1iold a largo portlon of the Grinnell cotlatorals, was ontirely discrotionary with the Court, and it will bo noticed that, oven then, the supervisory power of the Court, or of the Assigneo, if ono shall be appointed, i8 in no wiso relonsed. Binke Bros. ure required {o make a aworn statement in respect to tho disposition and application of the ‘procoeds of all tho ralos thoy mako. Tho righta of licu~creditors are .defined in Boo. 42 of the Bankruptoy ack. A creditor hold- ing s mortgago on real ostato, or & pledgo on porsonal L:rnperty. may como in with tho other creditota for the balanco of his dobt after reduc- ing the valuo of tho property, and tho Assignoe may releaso tho dobtor’s right of redomption. On the othor hound, tbo law provides that tha'Assiguee ¢ may soll tho proporty. subjact to the claim of the creditor thereon,” It has.been held in various decisions, under this clauso, that acroditor holding such mortgage or pledge must prove his debtas ono holding sccurity, aud obtain pormission of the Court to have tho proporty sold, and that s sulo raado without such pormission may be sot aside by the Court. Hoving such power vested in it by law, it fol- lows ns a matter of course, that a Baokrupt Court has aleo the power to restrain tho salo of property undor mortgago ér plodge. In fact, tho law provides osprossly, In Sco. 83, that tho Court ** may also, by 1ts injunotions, restrain the debtor and any othor person, in tho mean- time, from makiug any transfor or disposition of any port of -tho dobtor's proporty not excopted by this act from tho operation thoreof, and from any intorferonco thore- with." As we hiavo scon, plodges and mortgngos are not excopted from the administration of tho Court. In fact, Judgo Blatchford's decision, as woll as others that have gono bofore, declares thot it 18 tho design of tho Bankrupt law to bring all tho properly into tho Banlrupt Court for admimstration, Thoe manifest purposo of this design 18 to protoct creditors from fraudu~ lont proferenco against them, which could bo ‘mors oasily worked out through mortgegos and plodgos than in any other way. | It does not necossarily follow that every pro- ceeding iv bankruptey must tioup tho collaterals plodged by tho debtor before ho bocame a bank- rupt, a8 it has donoin the ense of Grinnell & Co, In that caso thore woro $12,000,000 of pledgos, and dobts of 1,500,000 more entircly unse- cured. It was obargod, snd admitted by momo of tho creditors holding plodges, that thoy had demnnded and received additional col- Interals aftor tho debtors had becomo iusolvent. Sucl pledges, received after insolvency, would bo got aside and eold by the Assignee for the ‘benefit of tho crediters gonerally, and iv wonld o impossible for tho Court to soparate the bona Jfide pledgos from tho unlawful ones unless tho whols list woro brought into Court. Todo this it bocame mnecossary to enjoin tho eale of any portion of the collatorals. The meodification in favorof Blake Bros. scems to mean that the Court will relenso tho restraint ‘on the sale of thoe bona fide securities s rapidly ne thoy aro sopnrated from thoso “which will not hold in law, While, then, this power of a Bankrupt Court to enmjoin tho malo of collatorals sud Dbring them into Court, along with the other nsscts, appears to Do well ostablighed, tho eecurity of tho genuine and Iawiul pledges is inno wiso affected, and a col- lusion in bankruptey proceedings for tho pur- poso of locking' up personnl seouritios would be quickly rocognized and defonted. If thero Iy gpocial lardsbip In the right of a Baukrupt 'Court to koize collaterals snd hold thom for ad- ministeation, ‘it {a not tho fault of the Court, butof the law mado by Congrois. Novertho- lous, it is diffloult to percelve in what other way fraudulont preforences In bonkruptey procved- ings coutd bo guarded against and dofeated, Tho fraud of colluston for the purposo ot throwing collaterala into Court could bo shown np readily, and, in such eso, the OQourt has tho disoretion to relense tho seouritics aud authorize thoir salo, The principel intorest of the Spanish war news now centres about tho ancient oity of Car- tagenn, which has long beon the principal sea~ port and naval argenal of Spain, Tho city, as woll a8 the adjoining islaud, lsutrongly fortified. Although dilapidated and unhoslthy, it contsine numerous churchos and convents, sovoral large hospltals, observatories, Lalls and theatros, an arsenal, and docks for building mon-of-war, It Liss valuablo flshorles, largo glass-works, and numerous smeltiug-works operating upon the produots of tho rich Cartagons mines, which wero orlginally wrought by iho Carthagonians, and wore rediscovered in 1848, The old city, which was captured by Beliplo, 208 B. 0,, ls once mo §ho theatro of military and navs! pgarations, On Tues- doy tho lusurgent floot sailed out of S the harbor to attack the Govornmont floct, but, finding tho Intter proparod for battlo, turned nbont and sniled in sgain, Suco that timo things have beon quict—n quiot, howovor, whioh will soon be broken, a8 activo propara- tions aro boing'made by the Govornmont fora gonornl attack by son and land. DISOREDITADLE JOURNALIEM, Tho Chicngo Times of Tuosday bad & column or moro of specchos (which wero navor mada) of tho Diractors of the Unlon Nationnl Bank, alt to the offect that thoy would opon that institu- tion and rosumo business on Wednesday, Oct. 16, Tho Times wont forth to ita misgulded rondors with tho announcoment, soveral timos roponted, in hondlinos and otherwise, that tho bank would resume on ednos- dny. 'To malo nmsuranco dombly suro, it printed » mmpprossed clrcnler plgned by the oficora of tho bauk to that offect. Whau roally took placo at tho Directors' maeting was & vote to roopon tho banl on Tuesday, to suppress tho eircular, and to framo nreply to tho lottor ad- drossed to it by tho othor city banks lagt Batur- day. Tho spoechon put by tho Times fnto the mouths of tho Dircotors of tho bank wore nover madoat all. They woro pure fnbrications, as woro nlso tho specchos which it putinto the mouths of varions individunls at tho Clonring- Touse mecting, whoro tho reolution on the subject of smsll checks was adopted, which was magnifiod by the Times into » resolution of all the banke of Chicago to ologo their places, and waa thus sent abroad to breed panic among the couatry banks. It appears, from a genoral roviow of looal financial nows, that tho Times has, within tho short space of two weoks,— . 1, Had nil tho banks closed when thoy were all open 2. Had tho Union National Bank opon after it hnd closed ; 8, Mad tho Union Natfonal Banl closod -atter {t was opon; and, 4. Had ovoral columne of spoechos by émi~ nont financiers which wero never mado by any- body. BUBSIDY CLATM3 BEFORE CONGRESS, Tho Congreas that is to meot in Docomber will lave thrust upon its attention tho question of granting subsidies, and the application for thesasubsidies orotherschemos—which, however disguised, will bo subsidies nevertholoss—will bo backed by o lobby represonting a volumo of monoy for contingent rowards that is appalling. ‘Without protending to include all of them, wo | cail attontion to some of the more important ones: Boud eubaidy to the Northern Pacific R. R.$ 60,000,000 Bond subsidy to tho Southern Pacifio B. B, 00,000,000 ‘Assumption of debts of Southern States.., 375,000,900 Subsidy to Virgiuin & Jomes River Canal,, 6,000,000 Bame to Georgla & Alubama Cunal. ‘Purchase of Erio Caual sud ia enla ‘Purchaso of tolegraphs Refnuding cotton bux. . Oisims of Southern loyall Tn support of all thoso domands, the Jobbycan claim, almoet without an oxception, all the votes of tho Sonators and Roprosentatives from the Southern Statos. As a olass, tho porsons ropro- senting those States who aro nob adventurers aro in favor of the largeat disteibution of the largost possiblo amount of plunder, so long as their soction recoives any portion thoreof. Aat- tors hove not yeb progressad far onough ot the South to produco statesmen or men of principle. The carpot-baggora on the ono Land, and thoso who want to make the Unton repair the ravages of the War on the other, will unito and support any gchomo, or any number of schomes, to de- ploto the Treasury. Nor will tho lobby that wilk havo theso things In clarge be a Southorn one. The bonds of. all theso States aro in tho hands of Northern men,—those who have encouraged thoir issue, who have bought them on speculs- tion at ominal prices, and who in their present bankruptoy will bo willing to promiso liboral contingent dividends for votes to have thioso bonde assumod or guaranteed by the Goneral Government. In the vaults of various suspond- ©d banks aud bavkers at the North there aro novw lying tho bonds of all theso States. Theso bonds are worth from § to 50 conts on tue dotlar, with acoumulations of unpaid intercst-coupons. "Their assumption by the United Btates would placo thom at par, snd the holders ¢an well af- ford to promiss & distribution of 100,000,000 omong those who wll support the mensure. At lenat ono respectablo psper in Philadolphia has already urged that the Unitod States owes n dobt of gratitude to Jay Cooke for tho millions he mudo handling publie seeurities during tho War, It has suggostod that tho nation can only pay this debt of gratitudo by a subeidy.in Na- tional bonds to the Northern Pacific Railrond, such a8 was paid to the Union Paciflc and was stolon by tho Crodit Mobilior. In support of this enormous job, thero will bo an oarnest ap- peal mado to tho Ropublican party 28 a party; it will also have the prayerfal and personal sup- port of o largo body of tho clorgy, and of that large numbor of Christian ststesmen who advo- cato any mossuro which distributes publio money sud omploys pious peoplo to haudle the funds. Tho James River Canal and tho Goorgis & Alpbamp Canal schiomos ato proposals that tho United States shall guaranteo the bonds thet may bo issued by private corporations to con- struct theso Impraoticable works, They will roceivo tho united support of the Southern Btutes, which support will be oxtended.to the subsidy of tho Northorn Paclfic Railrond, and any othor echome, in return -for .aid to pass theso through, Theso mensures will also have o largo Nortborn support, Al the bonds issued for those worke will have to be nogotiated and gold by Northorn bankers, brolters, and apecnln- tows, Ia faot, Wall streat is by far morainterast- ed, in a pecuniary sonso, {n thoso jobs:than sro the people of the South, With the latter it {s o sontimental question,—that, if thero is to bo & grand distribution of a thousand milllons of National bonds, the South may as well have o shinro fn it as not, In Wall street, tho question isone of plunder, aud the expectants of the plundor will bo the more vigorous supporters of the measures. For three or four years tho scheme of forcing the National Goverument to purchaso the Erie Oaual, or at least advance the money to enlarge It, has boen pressed upon Congross, O course, if Congress ia to go into gonoral system of building canals, this job of the Brie Canal canuot bo overlooked, but will go into tho omuibus schemo, which will contain all tho dosigns upon the Nutional Treasury. The rofunding of the cotton tax jsnow & voteran Job. The tax receipts haveall been bought up by speculators at a emall cost, aud tho presont holders can aftord to promise a libe oral percontago of the §70,000,000 for voteis to enrry it.

PUBLIO B0HCOLS AS REFORMATORIES, It has beon but o fow woeks sinco the Super- intondont of Pubtio Schools of this city congrat- ulated tho Board of Education and tho publio gonerally upon the fact that during the entiro sohool yonr 1872-8 there had not been a singlo caso of corporal punishment in the schools of this aity, and that during that yoar the order and dizolpline of tho achools had boen better than in any previous yoar. Tho attention of the Board lhios now been called to s cago of & toachor who infiteted punishment upon & boy, using for that purpose what is known as a raw-hide. The tnot of whipping snd tho uso of tho raw-hido for that purpose aro admit- ted. The boy rocelved one blow across the faco, which tho teachor attributes to tho nt- tompt by tho boy to ward off the blow by raising his arm. What tho offense of the boy was is not stated ; but it could not bave boon sorious, be- cnuse tho toachor did not resort to the romedy of suspension. ‘Wo do not proposo to disouss thiscaso, which is now on trial. But wo do desiro to call attentlon again to the groat mistake mado by teachers whon thoy act on tho assumption that the public achools aro reformatorios, and that it s any part of thelr duty to exorcigo the devil by tho use of tho raw-hide, or any other imploment, upon tho body of tho child supposcd to bo possessed. The publio schools aro educational establishments, and partienlarly for cbildron of tondor years: Eighty por cont of tho children sttonding theso schools aro under 10 years of age. A majority of thom are girls, Theso childron are not fit subjocts for o disciplino that includes floggiogin any shape. They should not be subjectad to it themselves, nor be compelled to wituess its in- fliction upon othors. Tho question of how refractory and immoral childron ave to bo treated is ono that admits of no difficuity. In o total attendanco of 30,000 children in & year, thero aro not thirly cases of this kind, When a boy or girl, by his or her conduct, bocomes offensive and demoralizing to the schiool ; whon he or sho by speech, act, or oxamplo I8 liable to destroy the discipline of tho gchool, or corrupt tho manners or the morals of the other children, all the teschor has tode isto exeludo the dungorous pupil. It 18 'Lis duty to do Lhis, - Ife hes no right to imperil the whole school by the prosenco of @ vicious pupil. 1f the boy or girl is »o bad that nothing less than the uso of o raw-hide is officacious, then that boy or girl ia not fit to'be in tho school at mll, oud should be promptly excluded. But, whilo this is tho proper, sonsiblo, snd logal way of disposing of the difiiculty, somo toachers cannot contont themselves with adopt- ing it. Thoy conceivo that thoy are in somo way responsible for the moral reformation of tho roprobate, and, with the zeal of all beginners in roform, thoy put tholr faith in forco, They bave full confidence in flogging. They srm themselves with o.horse-whip, raw-hido, or cane, and, stalking valiantly among tho 8-year-olds, threaton tho annihilation of any one Who dare whisper, show restlossnoss, or botray auy ovidonce of discomfort or discontont, When o Doy rebels, and naturally, against this display of force, forthwith. tho tonchor applies tho raw-hido. Whereln ia the victory ? The man is strongor than the boy, and tho Isttor is beaton. That Doy and all-the othor boys attribnto tho triumph of tho toasher to his suporior atrength alono. No moral lesson is convoyed ; ou tho coatrary, tho childion, regarding it a8 & moro struggle bo- twoon a strong man and & woak boy, all thew sympathics are with tho weaker, sud, if thoy could, they would unanimously roverso tho result. That is tho inovitablo result of tho rafortnatory process, using tho raw-ide ng the roforming agent. What the Board of Education s «to dols to imprass upon tho minds of the tonchora that tho public schools ara not Roeform Soliools ; and thut boya and girla who aro proper subjects for tho disciplino of tho Roform Behool aro not proper porsons to atlend the public schools. THE DIVORCE SCANDALS, Tho porTect confidence of tho divorco shystors .that thoy sro able to rush through a deoroo swithout any roforonce fo tho morits of a caso, was fully illustratod for tho onc-thousandth ,thno by the case roported in Tuxm TRIBUNE of TPoesday, According to this statemont, a man who had o farm of considorablo valuo, and & fam- ily, cousisting of his wife and four childron, |went awsy from homo and mot o formor swoob- +hoart whom he concluded he would like to mar- ty. As o proparatory stop toward this acoom- plishmont, ko camo (o Chloago to gob adivorce, He had no difficulty in fluding a pro- fossional who agreed to obtsin n divorco for him without any veferonco to any residonco in Cbicago, or compliance with any othior of tho safeguords of thelaw. Tho attompt would probably have succeeded, as hun- dreds of othors of just a8 little merit havo suc- cooded bofore, if it had not been for a mere ao- cldent. Inatond of proouring some woman to ropresont tho wife, ae has beon dono in soveral cages, tho husbaud thought he could botray or bully his wifo into signing an sgroement for a roforence boforo a Mastor in Olancery, where tho onse oould be rushed through without dane gor of any inspoction likely to disclose its enor- mity. ‘The wife, however, camo on to Chicago, with & Dabo in bor arms, snd Btumbled sbout the Court-ffouse in s vague way untll she happened to moot u olork of tho Court, who asalsted Lier in finding tho odso eho wanted to Investigate, and an attornoy who, out of charity, undertook’ to defond hor rights. Shewas the ono who had _beon desertod, and who kad been oblized to bor row monoy to support hor family during hor husband's sbsence. It was his purpose to pro- curo o divorco, and thon soll out tho ’farm on which Lis family lives, loaving thom vo means of support and no rodross. . Tho worat fealuro In all these exposures of divorco frauds is that every ona of thom i dis- covory1 py mero acoldent,” Tho anfoguards pro- vidon by tho Iaw, and the practico of the Courts, aro not sufficlont fu themsolves to forret out tho frauds. How many of the swindlos aro suce cessfully porpotrated, in which tho Injured partics have no knowledgo of thom until it Is too Into to gock a romedy, and, how mauny divorcos aro grantod whioh should newer have boen al- lowod, on account of collusicin botwoon tho par- tios, It i not posaiblo to eay.} Tholist of decraos —on long na that of Don [Juan's conquests— would indieato that the nur Abor of thoso fraudu- lent divorces which esoapor accidontal exposure is vory Inrgo.
