CorrespoatUnce between the Ret. Dr. LUleuinal and Got. L'a&er. . Ia the Cincinnati Gazette of yesterday we find the following card Irom Kev. Dr. Lilsentha!, the Jewish Kabbi: To the Editor of the Cincinnati Gazette : I have the honor of inclosing herewith a copy oi' the letter received from the Governor of . Indiana, regarding the divorce laws ot that b:ate. On the 14th instant I took the HbO erty of petitioning his Excellency to recommend ia ma annual message to the Legislature a -reform of tha divorce laws, as they now etaad on the ;, statute book cf Indiana. I stated how obnoxious and injurious these law3 were to the marital relations of all the States of the Union. I quoted the words used by the Probate Court

of this city, during a trial last cummer, declaring that these laws were an outrage aeainst society and cur civilization. I alluded to the indignation now aroused in the city ot New York by the Richardson and MoFarland tragedy; and I informed his Excellency, also, of the objection raised by the Rabbinical Conference of Philadelphia against these laws, when they declared allJcwish laws in this department to bo adapted to the law of this country. I was not aware that the Legislature of Indiana was not going to meet " till 1371. I had last year an understanding with Dr. E. Iligbee, member of the llo'se, by which a motion to that effect would have breu brought M.lv. w I W0".ilUu. rir plan ivas frustrated by tha abrupt adjourn

ment ot too same. As the cfovernor cheerfully promises his co-operation for this salutary change of the divorce hws, and as ' other prominent citizens of our neighi'Qrjjr Jjtate are willing to assist him in the carrying put of this proposition, there ia not ther Jeast doubt that the well-meant recommendation of the Governor will be aoted upon without delay by both House and Senate. Da. Lilienthal. (Cincinnati. Deeembtr 27. State or Ismana, FxKrircivE Pf.pT.I llTDIAXAPOLI, Dec. 2 , IMiJ. J Dr. Max LIHtmthal, Rabbi Mouud Street Temple, Cincinnati, Ohio: "DeauSir: I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your communication on the 11th inst., in relation to the divorce laws of this State, and suggesting the propriety of my recommending their amendment to the Legislature. In response thereto, I beg to Bay that you are mistaken in supposing that the General Assembly of this State will bo in session during thecomingmonth. On the coutrary.thero will be no session of our Legislature until January, 1S71, uilesa tome emergency, not now anticipated and likely to occur, should render it necessary tf call a special session. "I concur fully in your view as to thv necessity of a reformation of our laws governing the subject of divorcs, and shall in future, I have in the puf, labor to accomplish that end. ' "lleforo Governor Morton's election to the United State Senate, and while I wa3 presiding over the State Senate, I prepared a bill making the most radical changes in our divorce laws, and in ihe conduct of proceedings to obtain divorces. "This bill was introduced, and puss-id tha Senate, but did not pass the House. At the last session I would have introduced the subject in my message to the Legislature, but for two considerations, viz.: "1. The message was longer than I desired it to bo, without introducing this topic. "2. i hoped to be able . to gst the matter introduced and carried, with-

1 out discussing it in ttc message. " I shall not hesitate at the meeting cf the Legislature, if my life is spared, id commend this much needed reform to the attention rf tho General Assembly. "You speak of your conference at Philadelphia, adapting tho Jewish divorce laws to those of this country. Will you be so kind as to inform me what are tho regulations of the Jewish divorce laws, as modified by your Conference? In other words, what do the orthodox Jcw3 in this country recognize as valid catises for the decreeing of divorces? " I havo the honor to he, Very respectfully. Your obedient servant, din-d "Conrad Baker."
