WOMAN'S RIGHTS-A CON

The Seneca County Courier contains the
proceedings of Convention of women held
at Seneca Falls on the 18th and Goth inst
The object Of the Convention was the declar-
alton and protection of Woman's Rights
They state their grievances very much in the
of Independence. Their Declaration of Sen
tinents contains the following:
The history of mankind is history of re
peatcd injuii les and usurpations on the part
OF man towards woman, having in direct OBJ
Ject the establishment of an absolute tyrany
over her. To prove this, let facts be sub
mitted to a candid world.
HE has never permitted her to exercise her
inallenable right to the elective franchise.
tie has compelled her TO submit to laws in
the formation of which she has had no voice
Having deprived her oil this first right of
n citizen, the elective franchise, thereby eav-
ing her without representation in the balls
OF legislation, he has oppressed her on all
sides.
He has made her. if married, in the eye
of the law, civilIy dead.
He has taken from her all right in proper
ty, even to the wages she earns.
He has made her, morally, an irreSpouSi-
bic being, as she can commit many crimes
with impunity, provided they be done in the
presence of her husband. In the covenant
of marriage she is compelled TO promise ODE
/ dience 10 her husband, he becoming to all in
tents and purposes her master-the law Civ

and to administer ch1stisement.

lie las denied her the facilities for obtain
ing thorough education-all COLLEGES being
closed against her.
lie has endeavored, in every way that he
| could, to destroy her confidence in her own
! powers, TO lesson her self-respcct. and to
make her willing to lead dependent and alb

The signers TO this document, who num-
Der some hundred, are decidedly of the opin-

GEN. TAYLOR-SLANDER re-
~ FL ID

Some time ago a story was fabricated
and set affOat that Gen. TAYLOR was the
owner of a large tract of land in the dis
puted territory between Nueces and the
Rio Grande, and that an agent of his had
been recently In Washington City pur-
chasing negroes TO stock 1t. This false
allegation has been industrIousv circula-
ted, and we think has been repeatedly
published or alluded to in the Enquirer
and in that paper of yesterday, it IS al
luded to as follows.
Gen. Taylor and the Prociso.-Our
neighbors of the Wing press, and Proba-
bly, other neighbors not connected with
the press, have iaboret painfully hard to
delude themselves INTO the belief that
Gen. Taylor is opposed to the extension
of slavery, and would not Interpose his
veto TO a prohibition of it in the new ter
rltories. We do not suppose they have
succeeded in this effort-Gen. Taylor :
Iocation-his $50 slavps-his recent pur-
chase of more land and more negroes to
stock it-the very atmosphere of slavery
with which he Is surTounded-all are
/ ponderous facts standing obstInately ar
rayed against this attempt at self delu-
sion."

The Bertrand, Capt Morrison, arrived
last night from fifty miles above the
mouth of the Yellow Stone, higher point
than had been achieved by any former
boat. The Bertrand left ST. Louis on
the lst of June; has made the trip, con-
sequently in fifty-three days-the shortest

has forbidden the traders 10 send goods or

outbreak of evil passion Is apprehended
unless some United States troops be sent
into the country this winter.
The traders going to the different out
posts are most likely to be waylaid and
attacked. 1t has been stated that the
cause of the late attempt upon the Mar

"REMINISCENCES OF. Q. ADAMS.

The Hon. John Quincy Adams concluded
his argument before the United States Su
preme Court in the Amistad case, with The
following touching rem iniscence:
May it please your honors: On the 7tl
of February, 1904, now more than thirty
seven years past, my name was entered
and yet stands recorded on both rolls, as one
OF the attorneys and counsellors of this
Court. Five years later, in February and
March, 1909, appeared Tor the last time be-
fore this Court in defense of the cause OF
justice, and of important rights. in which
many OF my fellow citizens had property to
large amount at stake. Very shortly after
wards was called TO the discharge Of other
duties, first in foreign lands, and in later
years, within our own country, but in differ
ent departments Of her own Government.
Little did | imagine that | should ever be
required to claim the right of appearing in
the capacity of an officer of this Court. Yet
such has been the dictate Of nv destiny
and appear again to plead the cause of JUS
tee, and now of liberty and life in behalf OF
many of my fellow men, before that same
Court, lii a former age, had addressed in
support Of the rights of property. | stand

was my associate counsel In the management

TORTOISE SHE'LL.

The following sinsularly bqrbarouS pro-
cess for obtaining the tortoise shell, is abstrac-
ted from an Indian newspaper, called the
Singapore Chronicle. This highly priced
aquatic production, when caught by the
Eastern Islanders. Is suspended over FIRE.
kindIed inme diately after its capture, until
such time as the effect of the heat looseDs
the shell 10 such degree that it can be re
moved with the greatest ease. The animal,
now stripped aud defeaceless, is set at liberty,
TO re-enter Its native element. Ii caught in
the ensuing season. or at any subsequent pc
Rod, IL is asserted that the unhappy animal
: subjected TO a second ordeal of Gre, re-
warding hls captors this time, however, with
very thin shell. This, if true, shows more
policy and skill than tenderness in the meth
Cd thus adopted by the ISLANDERS; it is ques
tioniess proof, TOO, of the tenaciry of life in
the animal. and must further be accounted q
very singular fact in natural history.
