It is the foundation of ail'social blessings, and on it has becn reared all the feomplicated superstractures which men know as ‘waces and nations, Unlike most of tne | ‘deatares of complete barbarism and incipient | ‘civilization, the march of ideas but strengthened | Mtsknot. This is easily accounted for in three rea- sons. Firstly, because it is a necessary preceptor of | ‘Whe great iaw of order; secondiy, because of the | ‘care and tutelage which helpless infantile humanity Tequires, and thirdly, on account of its thorough ac- | cord with hygieate laws, Wherever it has been at- | tacked and its ponds weakened, society has been | Marked for a decline sure to follow; wherever, as in | Polygamic nations, it had been exaggerated, the | march of ileas was stoppod. The voluptuous ef- feminacy of the lower empire, the Court of Louis XV., the present state of polygamic nations of the | earth are all cases in point. And to America of to- | Gay it recalis the great aphorism of Montesquieu that | “more States have been ruined vy CORRUPTIONS OF MANNERS than by crimes.” Jt is generally strong, vigorous nations which are bold enough to commit crimes; | ations corrupt m manners, in social and domestic Felations are those past lheir prime, and Japsing, Urough a lisiess voluptuousness, into mere historic | names, The widespread feeling in America that the marnage state is simply one where convenience | may be sulted or SENSUALITY TEMPORARILY GRATIFIED, and then when the vitiated taste has been cl thrust aside. has worked and is working incalcula- ble mischief. Its evil effects are plain, not only in | the way in which the sub;ect is treated in certain { avowed free-love journals, but in the very bosom of the family itself. The law of divorce, which is of comparatively mod- ern date, may, der certain conditions, be anmecessary evil. The Church of the Middle Ages | which, asin the Catholic Churen now, surrounded the conjugal condition with the holiness of a sacra- | ment, and reserved the luxury of a divorce for Kings and Princes only. Tue progressive spread of freedom of 1Weas led to the @ nsion of the es and to v man, tor ath th heir wives g of the Roman Pon- , the Queens could not so | getrid of their maste: In the United Siates THE RIGHT TO DIVORCE on sufficient grounds has been conceded, but some States, such as Liinois, Indiana avd Connectieu Dave widened the gr ds on which it can be o! tained, until marrying and unmarrying has become the standard jest when these States are referred to. It is not necessary now to pursue farther ihe use of atyorce to the ill-natured members of a community, Dut to point out through the present case the facili- Ues to abuse it which the WANT OF A UNIFORM LAW on the subject place in the hauds of the unscrupu- Jous. Underthe present loose dispensation of the law there 18 nothing to prevent the recurrence of the case, and litte doubt but that there will be found many to risk the chances of perjury for gain the indw ce of passion. ne leage that a meav is within easy | Teach to relieve a er = woman of alife partner will of itself cause thousands of married couples to rusi to the “divorce lawyer” at | the first domestic diMiculty, which a littie time to | 00] would easily smooth over, and the divorce comes along before either has time to reflect. We can picture THE SWEETHFART OF THE FUTURE, ! althongh it costs a pang, saying to herself, “Well, if I don’t like Jake I’! soon divorce him.” Or we may see the prospective benedict of the present mutter- , Ing, “if that girl's friends don’t conie down properly | Tl diverce her ip a mont.” The legal tunctionary above referred to as;the aiverce lawyer, is at the lowest grade of the honor- able profession he disgraces. The ‘‘shyster’’ who | yye around our pelice courts and is the legal con- ant of half the felons in the city, is honest and | respectebie by nis side. He stands in the same re- latfon to the jegai profession as the abortionist does to that of medicine. or years tney have piled their nefarious game with scarcely a public suspension of tweir criminality, and few thought there | lay such a depth of infamy under the wording of their advertisements—“Divorces obtainsd in any State of tne Union with secrecy and despatch.” It was generally believed to be rather a dodge than a swindle, and not an alarming consp:racy of outrage upon the domestic peace of every member of the , community. The present case has done much to develop the plan on waich ihe shame was worked, | bat ne Cr deal ot the blackest part is still lurking | behind the curtain. How many ‘ RUINED HOMES AND BLASTED LIVES lie on the track of the divorce demon will never be known, for even thie victims Keep up, | for shame’s sake, the boasted “secrecy tor | which the lawyer is id = along with | jus ‘‘despateh.”” Another advantage which the di- vorce lawyer offers is comparative cheapness. A | divorce under the laws of New York will cost pro- b bly $3,000, while he will relieve you of an EMBARRASSMENT IN THE SHAPE OF A WIFE from $150 up to the regular amrount, according to | the purse of the person who will profit () by the process. He has a regular machinery, which it needs but a word to set In motion, and withoutany trouble ou the part of the wife or husband hater the | sacred knot will be severed in at most a few weeks | trom the ume he really sets about the business. The | GREAT DIVORCE EMPORIUMS are Indiana, Illinois and Connecticut—the first State for choice, the latter to be used when the client be- | comes restless or is in aterrible burry. It may be | noticed that the “divorce lawyer’? is mostly sought | in preference to a regular wember of the Jegal pro- | fession, When ‘despatch’? is requisite. or when the } client, in aadition to the longing to be free of one | partner is penetrated with the desire to possess | another. This, indeed, might be taken te be the | true source’ of the demon’s _ business, | He takes the place of the valgar murderer of Shaks = picturing, armed with a dagger and wearing i uskins. He is the modern edition of the Medicis, and, did he live in the days of Urlan, David would mever have sent that unjertumate to battle with tie Philistines in the front rank. The divorce demon would have secured him his Batusheba for a small sum Without the ugiy stain of murder being upon his soul. The agenis are the shysters of the | profession iu their respective districts, wmo will | work cheap and have @ thorough acquaintance with | rogues and scoundrels to procure the NECRSSARY PERJURERS at @ moment's notice. The lax law finishes the chapter and, as in the present case, we find a judge undoing his own work With almost as Little ceremony as he made the decree. THE HISTORY OF THIS CASE 1s as foliows:—Lucius Randolph, a native of St. Charles, in the valley of Virginia, @ maa of roving tastes and a scattered history, separated from his Gret wife in May, 8569. He was then living near St. Louis, Mo., and was married the ist of ember, 1859. Two girls were the fruit of this marriage, but | the pair lived ubhappily and at lengtn a separation took place. Raudoiph went soon after to New Jersey, and was empjoyed as assistant roaumaster ou the New Jersey Southern Railread. In June, 1870, he went to Man -4., und there made the acquaintance of his present wife, then Miss Belle Simpson. Affection sprung up and became mutual, and Randolph, wishing to be freed from the hymenal bond of his first marriage, sought a | divorce. He was introduced to House, THE DIVORCE WAS ODTAINED, and on the 26th of-last December Randoiph married the being of bis aacillary choice. ‘ihe former Miss } Simpson lived previous to wer marrit with her mother and stepiather, Mr. and Mr: Weroa who were much opposed to the matcn. e girl bad $3,000 left ber in her own right, Wyckoft ibreatened, in case she weuld matry Randolph, to SUE HER FOR TEN YEARS BOARD. This threat hag been carried into execution, and the money is attached under legal process. Through his meams the divorce was anuuiled and Randaph was arrested for bigamy. He was brought from jail on the present charge. The facte aii lie outside of the pomts under which the present case is drawn, wut will make clear the various steps taken a3 evelved in the evidence towards procuring the bogus divorce. ns ° THE EXAMINATION. In New Haven, Coun., yesterday the case of the peeple versus Orsou A, House alias Marcus House, aulas Meore House alias Moore and Richardson was was brought up for examination. The regular City Police Court was found to be too smail smal! for we th which came to _ hear we Bg jourt up #Lairs was closem for the hear- a i ge obinso mn, presided.

Beside him was his second wife, a plain-looking young woman of twenty-eight years, who seemed much in anxiety about his fate, She was only, Low- ever, witness in the case, alinough detained in ee Mr. Pardee, the City Attorney, opened the case by stating there were two cases against House—one Tor suborning persons unknown who personated Randolph in obtaining the divorcee, and other for suborning the one wio personated the bogus wit ness in the case of Barua A. Woon. The plea of not guilty was entered. ‘The first witness examined was Judge Miner, of the Superior Court, He testified as follows:— ‘Tue court convened Tuesday, December 20, and on Friday Charlies M. Fowler appeared before the conrt With two persons, who desired to be heard in the case of Randolph v aus Randolph, for divorce.

The man Who personated Wood pretended to serve the | notice upon ber, and on these very thin representa- } tions and a consideration of forty dollars he com- pleted the divorce, as Judge Miner testified, The principal witnesses was Randolph himself, Who gave his evidence in a flippant, easy manner Some ume during the month of Augast, 1879, int ed to House by Dr. Bristol, of 4 asked if he could obtain me a eivorce, to bum the circumstances connected with the ¢ he said he conid; I asked hts charges; he said § Dr. Bristol oned the ching with him, saylug that las aloboring mav and could not afford to pay so mach money, Whereupon he agreed ww obtain Said cure the saime said about three months; I told lim thaé it money, but would pay lum fifteen dollars per r out of my wages until the sum of $140 had been paid him; I wade him three payments, for which I have tell; I and I was particularly anxious aboat the divorce and ‘thought I might need assist ance; I walked into the office, saying, “louse, have you got that divorce ready for?” he 8, nave no “Well,” says I, “it is very re- as the time is ap, and I have made seve- ral proiises, and the divorce don't come;”? I had in the meaplume recetved several letters—prior to tnis tme—siating Mat the divorce would be ready ata certain time; I remarked to Mr. House, ‘*You son oi a b—h, I have a mind to cut your ears off tr lytugto me, u Thad my way,’ be says, “I can obtain you a divorce in Connecticut fer $i0J, but it will cost you $100 more ihan I had paid him; I “In two asked when he could obtain it; he said. pee ee two J verce will be ready; It that I would give him the $100 wnen h divorce; he sald, “Sign this petit will put it before a judge in © asked him to read it over—com adultery; I said, “Scratch that ou so; he remarked, Why? didh't she ever commit adultery said, “That 1s nobody's busimess but my ow: nave childven and do Wish them disgraced; I sued the petition—(pe ton shown bim)—that 1s my signature ora mighty good counterfeit; I got my divorce and paid $100 for it, He was cross-examined at great length, but nothing very material was elicited. The counsel on both sides argued and Judge Robmson finally com- initted House for trial on both charges in $2,000 bail foreach. He was locked up in dejault. The HERALD reporter bad a long interview with all the parties afterwards, but beyond the statements as alreauy given in evidence nothing of importance divuiged. Mrs. House seems particuiarly irate at certain newspapers which attacked her charac- ter. She produced a marriage certifcate in proof of her virtue. next Friday your Lecture by Rev. Dr. Isanc M. Wise—Christ Was a Patrict—He Was Not Slain at the Iustigation of the Jews. Steinway Hall was filled last evening with a large and intelligent audience, composed of dark-fea- tured and keen-eyed members of the male persua- sion, interspersed with a goodly unmber of light brunettes. Pursuant to announcement, at pre- cisely eight o’ciock the Rev. Dr. Wise, of Cincinnati, mounted the stage, neing in- troduced by Rev. O. B. Frothingham, of New York. Tne Rey. Mr. Frothingbam, in introducing the speaker, remarked that he believed there were many Christians in the hall; that Christianity does not welcome criticism, although Cnrist was a Jew and Paul a Jewisn teacher. Tue reverend gentie- mun stated that he himself was not a folluwer of the Jewish system of worship. The reverend lecturer selected as the subject of his discourse “Jesus of Nazareth,” this being the first of a sertes of lectures on the origin ot Chris- uanity. The revereud gentleman spoke Lriely as follows:— LADIES AND GENTLEMEN—In the rapidly ogress- ing period of the nineteenth century Datura! sctence assumes the place 0i transcendental puilosoptiy, bis- tory subjects science aud prose lowers above poetry. The history of religion embraces some of the most emi- nept minds of the age, and the fountains of the Gospels are familiar te all. He sbouid, in bis frst lecture, treat of the life andjreligious bearing of te wonderful man known 1n history as Jesus of Naza- reth and the revelations wuich well authenticated records have handed down. ‘the Oid Tesiament 1s a compilation written and preached by the PHARISEES, SADDUCEES AND PSALMISTS, whose works gin aii would make a hundred octavo volumes, These writings give the histury, religion, morals, hopes and views of the time in which Christianity originated, and the record of thesejtimes we take simply on the authority of history. The historian has nothing to do with mysteries and Miracles, angels or ghosts, he meets Nature’s freaks with arguments drawn from reason, and when reason fails nbistory ceuses, Jesus of supposed to pe the author of Christianity; but my investigations have convinced me of the contrary, Jesus wes an utuusiast, a Pharisee and a Jewish patriot. He Was 4 lover and ap admirer of Jewish lustitutions, and for bis adherence to Judaism ne was crucified by Koman authority. The existence of sucb @ per- sonage as Jesus has been questioned; bat this is urd; that Jesus lived and was @ power in vid n Mation there can be no doubt; and that he Was an enthusiast of no common order 1s equally certain. He was surrounded by associates of equally Mercurial companions, Tue question was asked, “HOW CAN THE PEOPLE BE ROUSED ?”’ Peter understood M, and immediately hastened to the mountatnons district: in the nortu of Judea, aud commenced to preach that Jesus was the Messiab. Jesus protested loudly against this ap- peal to popular prejudices; but the spark bad been thrown amongst combustibles, and against his will he was loaded with uonors, and was ied in ut umyh and greeted with cries of “Hosan- nao.” The earned did not believe in this Messidnic mania; demonstration was a failure and death awaited the Son of Man. After a few days He was captured and sacrificed as thousands of Jews were under similar circum- stances. Such was Jesus. He was a Jowish patriot, and therefore was crucified. He said He had been sent te the rescue of the Jost sheep of Israel, and the statement cost Him His life. He was opposed to certain Levitical practices, as were many of the PHARISEES WITH WHOM HE ASSOCIATED, but he adhered strictly to the Goctrines and prac- lces Of the Mosaic jaw. Jesus came to fulfil and not to abolish the law, and never advised the violation of any law, and had not the remotest idea of imtro- ducitig @ new religion. Tn the laws which Jesus latd down he sided totally with the Pharisees, and chiefly in this—that he laid down the duty ef charity as the foundation of all law. He said that the basis and object of the law was love. ‘sis doctrine touched the hearts and souls of thousands, and Was accepted as a precept of the highest authority, He told them to obey the Sanhe- drum. In this HE WAS A PRARISER AND RABBI. But he was also an ardent patriot.

There were three musical entertainments given yesterday afternoon, First, at the Union League theatre, Webli gave a piano recital, which was par- Ucularly interesting from the fact that ne essayed, for the first time im this country, real classical music. He commenced with the “Moonlight Sonata,” a work caleulated to test his powers toa considera bleextent, His well known delicacy of touch and completeness in execution gave the opening adagio full effect, and over those tender passages he threw @ vell of poetry which breught out their charms in a strong light, We missed the peculiar beauty of Charles Hallé, who has made this unexampled work a special study, and who hangs with rapture over every measure in it, The little triple me movement which follows was rendered with spirit and grace, and, peculiar as itis, Mr. Wehli made it intelugiple and eloquent to all his hearer In the long and diiicult presto agitato the pianist was not sosuccessful, He did net phrase the passages with the distinciuness they demanded, and he gave a syncopated wiil, which occurs twice or three times in the work, Without the octave, con- trary to the score, Alter the @onata he | played a song without words, “The Bee's Wedding,” by Mendeissohn, Ohopin’s etude, in G@ fat, and his own “Silver Bells.’ All three were delightfully rendered, We did not luke the succeeding fantasia on ‘Martha,’ py Webh. As the bill says, “The tender melody, ‘The Last Rose of Summer,’ bursts upon the ear, and is encompassed by furious passages.’? Now this is | rather “rough” upon the tender melody, and consti- | tutes the weakness of the piece. Mr. Weill next | played a Bach lugue ana the two litle works ef | Stephen Heller waich he performed at Booth's, ‘fue best selection, aud the one in which he made a genuine success, was the maguificent transcrip. | tion of “ia Nueite de Portici’? by Thalberg. ‘Turee of ius own minor works followed, and concluded the concert.

THE HUDSON SLAUGHTER. Continuation of the Inqaest—Testimony of the Conductors of the Two Trains. POUGHKESPSIE, Feb. 18, 1871. The most important point in the Coroner’s investi- gation of the New Hamburg disaster to-day was the evidence of Conductor Cossum, of the express train, and Engineer Cernclius Roe, of the oil train. Con- ductor Cossum testified that his traim passed Fish- kill at 10:15 P. M., and his runniog time from there to New Hamburg was eleven minutes. He made that time, which would bring hun on New Hamburg drawbridge at 10:25 4. The engineer of the oil train testified that he left Poughkeepsie at 9:46 or 9:50 ”. M., and that his run. ning Wie w New Hamburg was thirty-four minutes. That would make him due at New Hamburg station at twenty-tnree or twenty-four minutes, and at the drawbridge at twenty-three and a half or twenty- four and ashalf minutes past ten o'clock, whicn would make but a minute and a half or two minutes’ difference between the arrival of both trains at the drawbridge, All the testimony is in, and the verdict will be given some lime next week, EUROPEAN MARKETS.° Lonpon MOnzY MARKET.—LoNpo: ‘eb, 18—4:30 P, M.—Consols closed at 2 for both money and for the ac- unt.

Porisvm.ie, Fen. 18, 1871. The suspension of mining operations in Schuyl+ kill county is assuming serious aspects, Business 1s suffering severely, and there are loud protests from all quarters against the leaders of the Working- men’s Benevolent Association, who steaiily re- fuse to give the feeling of the miners on the subject of resumption any consideration, The men have shown their willingness to resume work, and in several cases have gone into the min ¢8 but have come ont again, being threatened with personal violence if they persisted in working con- trary to the mandates of the tyrants who ride over them. There are rumors that the furnaces along the line intend to blow out rather than continue work under the present unsettled state of affairs. The Miners’ Journal, in a remarkable article this morning, gives the (general feeling of all business men. The follewing is a synopsis of the article:— No basis has been fixed for Schuylkill county yet. The coal operators will not negotiate with the comulttee of thee Workingmen’s Benevolent Association until they withdraw mauy of their claims with regard to action at the collivrien, ae. If they refuse, the operators will buve nothing t do with the association, but will ask the men to go to work, with the proffer of ample protection if they have to invoke the whole power of the government to do so. outside interests are now beginning to understand the cau: Of these suspensions, and they desire to uct without being subject to brutal treatment or having their property endan- gered by the torch oi a few bad men who surrouud them, Died.

For the past six months great progress has been made, considering the obstacies met with, and great engineering ability 1s manifest in the mode adopted to accomplish the endin view. The obstrac- tion is an extension of the rocky ledge which passes across the upper end of Manhattan Isiand, and which crops out in 80 many forms thereabouts, necessitating #0 much blasting and hard digging for the streets and cellars between the Park and the rivers on either aide. It passes the narrow, crooked channel of the East river just above Blackwell's Island, causing, by its resistance to the rushing tide, the swift counter current and whirling eddies which have always made that channel so dangerous aad have given it the ex- pressive name of Hell Gute. The most dangerous portion of this hidden ledge 1s where Hallett’s Point jus out from the Long Island shore, reaching, by a gradual slope, some 300 feet tnto the narrow channel before it attains the depth of 80 feet beneath low water mark. The current runs here at the rate of from five to eight knote per hour, and when the tide ou some portions ot the rock has risen to the depth of but two feet ita force is so great as to sweep a strong man instantly off his feet. It 4s this rock against which the engineers directed their frst efforts. They began the work by sinking a shaft close to the shore, some 60 feet broad, and extending out into the river about 100 feet, sem{-eliptical in form, and shielded on the water side by a cotier dam or miniature levee 10 feet high, This shaft was exeavated to the depth of 30 feet below low water mark, Out from it, on a level with its bottom, they are now engaged in working what are termed “tunnel headings.” 10 in number, in every direction under the river. ‘These are 10 feet in width at bottom, are arched at the top, and have an average length of 300 feet. ‘Their height i» 18 feet at the junction with the shaft, but running to a point at the extremities. At intervals of 50 feet, one beyond another, are these to be excavated, galleries running entirely around, so as to cross every one of theae tunnel headings. This will leave but a honey-combea shell, the crust above —as thin as the work- men dare toleave it—being supported by what may be termed “pillars,” or the portions of the rock left standing by the intersection of the heaaings and galleries. The pillars are to be plerced at last by excavations, in the extremities of which the powder for the last grand explosion is to be placed. All these pillars being connected, they will be fired, and what remains of the rock, it is expected, will be blown into pieces £0 smail that it will not be didicult to raise and remove them by large steam dredges. But the object is to leave ag little for the final explosion and the subsequent dredging as possible, It is far easter to remove all that the workmen dare to by the present working under the rocky roof. The crust which remains above the tunnelling is 10 feet thick, but it would be imprudent to make it thinner, as there 1s great danger of opening seams in the rock above, through which the water would run in and flood the works Though this work ts comprised within #0 small a compass it te really gigantic in its nature, ns the agsregate excava- tons are about a mie and a half in length, or, accurately, | 7956 feet, of which 3,00 are headings, 2,275 galleries, and 2,877 powder chambers, In alluding to this subject the Mer- cantile Journal of a late date says:— Great difficulty results from the extreme hardness of the rock. Some iséa of this can Le formed from the tact that in many places to sink a bole one inch and a bull in diameter one foot in depth will biuut from 20 to 25 drills of the best English steel, The drtiling for the shait was done by steam, but thus far (or unti! within a very short time certa, hendings have been driiied entirely by hand. however, to introduce compressed alt many places of shaliow driliing, and pi hardness of the rock, the ferwara progress of the headings has been much less than was attained in the Mount Cen tunnel. There it was from one and a halt to three fect per day; bere, as yet, it has only been about eight feet per month, For blasting here power only ts used; out this is'ot three times, or more, the ordinary force. Other explosives have been tried, but hot with sulligient success to. war! their adopiion,” Too great a foreo in the upper portion of the yock involves ihe danger of opening the aeains 80 a8 t0 allow no hole is required than that of power. e wane water to come througb; in other parts deep enough to utilize a greater force In the blasts 60 or 40 charges are fred nearly at tl time, a gong being previously sounded to gt workmen. “Suge idmbers, bound together are bung as “‘curtains” at'the opening of each tynnel to Vent the detached rock from tying into the alr without.) So great 1s the force, however, that these urtains often swuag out or 10 feet, — as One hundred and seventy-Gve men are employed on the work, fifty or more working for eight hours at atime, and Testing sirteen hours. It will probably require two years to complete this gigantic undertaking. Marine Disasters.
