We cannot but think such has been their real object in leaving home, judg- ing from their conduct in the past and the recent outrageous demand upon the foreign ambassadors at Petia, Tho End of Indiana Divorces. The glory of Indiana divorces is gone, The law which for so many years wis a beacon light of joy for distressed husbands and wives has been so amended that it offers now only the merest glimmer of hope to the would-be divorced. Three years’ bona fide residence is required ere a divorce for any cause can be obtained, and in case of the application being made on the ground of acts committed in another State, it must be shown that those acts are legal grounds for divorce in the State where they were committed. These are im- portant modifications of an obnoxious law, and in case they are rigidly enforced they will do away with the scandal and pest of Indiana divorces, which have for years beon the fruit- ful source of unhappiness and crime, not In Hoosierdom alone, but in nearly every State in the Union, The three years clause is in itself sufficient bar to all proceedings on the part of citizens of another State; for it is not likely that any one, whatever his or her grievance, will consent to live ip that State for three years in the hope of a release at the end of that time, unless, indeed, we except citizens of Chicago, who are not likely to have any pressing need for divorces which they can- not obtainathome. There is a hope springing eternal in the human breast which makes every one, whatever his distress, believe that some- thing will turo up ere three years to relieve him. The traffic in divorces in Ind‘ana under the previous regulation was a source of great profit to that enterprising State, and we can- not sufficiently commend her liberality and self-sacrifice in amending the law so as to put no more money in her purse. It is estimated that the transient custom alone was enough to run all her newspapers. It is probable, there- fore, that there will be some contention for the succession among other aspiring States. Illinois, which means Chicago, would carry the field without any trouble, but that divorces there have become so cheap, owing to compe- tition among her divorce attorneys, that they are not prized very highly or considered very substantial, and the higher priced and More elaborate article for the extravagant classes has notas yet found sufficient demand to make it a paying commodity, Connecticut has heretofore had a promising record in this direction, and Rhode Jsland bas quite recently shown an earnest and determined 4 day go far to entitle her to the succession. Massachusetts has shown reasonable willing- ness in the matter, but there are so many better modes discovered in Massachusetts of serving all ends without divorce at gll that, ex- cept for the benefit of strangers andthe profit that may attach thereto, it is not likely that ‘she Will present her claims very forcibly. Some of our enterprising States, therefore, have a gold placer before them which may equal the California mines or the Newfound- land seal fisheries in richness, The Legisla- tures or Governors ought at once to hold a consultation with some hero or heroine of divorce—several are at present prominent before the public—and discover just how the law could be made most satisfactory and at the same time how it could be made to work most profitably, Personal Intelligence.

The detachment of the Fifty-fourth regiment, Na- tional Guard, from Rochester, sent here last night by General Clark, commanding the Twenty-ffth brigade, on a requisition from the Sheriif of Monroe county, went into camp near the breach at ten o'clock last night. A large crowd of laborers were guthered on the opposite side of the canal and watched the process of erecting the tents, visible in the light of the hastily kindled camp fires. One excited mdividual shouted out, “What does that mean?’ and was answered by an- other of the gang, “It means more dirt and less talk.” A guard of twenty men was stationed in the village of Fairport, onc nule and a half distant, and the saie of liquors in the saloons there was prohibited.
