Judge Anthony, formerly of OHIO, his been
recently elected by "thc Democracy. of m
diana. a Judge in the Wayne Circuit. Ills
first term has just been he d at Richmond,
The Palladium speaks Of the new Judge ana
his Court as follows:
We feel ours Ives diyested Of all political
bias in what we shall! say of Judge Anthony.
Personal objections we have none. We
have known him for many years, nor
have we heard any thing to excite our OBJ
lection Of personal character. On. the
other hand, we knew him in early life, and
in manhood he has had the sympathy we
entertained for him in youth.
But he has attempted to hold Court in
this county, and we believe we but express
the almost anapimous opinion the bar and of
those who had business to transact in this
Court, that hc utterly failed to perform the
duties of the bench-that from his want OF
legal knowledge, the business was reta ded,
and an immense amt INT of it continued To
another term, in the hope that some change
would be made in the Court before another
session.
We are not disposed now to say any
thing as to the means by which his ection
was secured, and only speak of it as matter
OF du'y to the public, the conductors of a
newspaper protesting to be devoted TO the
public's interest.

CITY OF EVANSVILLE:
THURSDAY MORNING, ::::MARCH "a
Women,s Rights.

A memorial is being circulated in Massa-
chusetts, and numerously signed by those who
rank and file under such leaders as Abby KEEL
ly, Wendell Philips, Garrison and Rev. Theo-
dore Parker, praying the Convention, which
is soon to meet TO revise the Constitution, to
abolish all political and legal distinctions be-
tween male and female. The following is
one clause contained in the memorial: "The
undersigned, citizens of Massachusetts,, re-
spectfully ask that you will report an amend
ment to the Constitution, striking out the
word MALE wherever it occurs in that instru-
ment." The preamble, or address to the peo-
pie, assumes that Massachusetts has hitherto
led the way in most other reforms, and ex-
horts them not to falter in this, the greatest
of them all. True, the ladies of Massachu-
sets have. from the days of the revolution
until the present time, shown a magnani-
nous patriotic bearing towards all great ques-
lions, affecting their social condition, or that
Of others, even in foreign countries. During
that same period, however, il is but doing
them historical justice to say of them, that
a class of her citizens have been guilty of as
many ridiculous extremes as any intelligent
mass in the nation, including the hanging OF
Quakers, Salem witchcraft, and divers small
Ter offences, down to the Kissing Of the great
est of American statesmen at Fanuel Hall
for his fidelity to his country. The majority
of the members of the Convention are Goa
litienists, and the world need not be surprised
to witness some ludicrous attempts at reform
Yet it is hardly presumable that the charac-
ter and true position of woman will be de-
generated So low, by any set of men, as it
would be in the event of extending their
privileges to full political fellowship with
men.
