REroRM Is NEwARK.-It will be seen by refer
cnce to the Legislative proceedings of Thursday,
that a number of strong-minded women of this city
have presented petition in the Senate praying
the enactment of some law securing the legal
equality Of the sexes. This movement doubtless
owes its origin to the labours among us Of Miss
Lucy Stone and Mrs. Coe, both of whom have
made many proseytes. The subject is one of great
Importance, admitting Of much and elaborate in
yestigation, and we glad the Senate has refer
red it to n Select Committee, who will be likely to
give it an unbiased and careful consideration

CnleAoo.--From statement published in the
Chicago Daily Tribune it appears that the business
of that city during the past year has been charac-
terized by unprecedented activity, and has brought
moro real prosperity to that place than the previous

following article from the Mansfield Herald -
We have just been shown several specimens of.
gold taken by Mr.. Edward Hafetry, of Washington
township, from the sands in spring upon his
fam. lie had often noticed them, but had no
thought Of their being gold until lately, when upon

VIRGINIA COLONIZATION SocIErY,-The report of
tho Virginia Colonization Board, constituted in
ordinance with an act passed in April, 1853, is a
document Of considerable interest. 1t presents to
the Legislature facts and suggestions which are of
first Importance to the people of Virginia. The
Board has drawn upon the State Treasury for
So 800 to pay for the removal Of 1lG free negroes
from Virginia to Liberia In addition, the Colo |
nizaton Society has transported without State aid
l24 free negroes making total during the last
eight months of 240. This number, when eompar-
ed with the thousands in the State, may appear to
be small, yet it will amply suffice to prevent the
important and interesting fact. Quietly and almost
without observation the agencies now at work
in connection with the Board will keep down the
number and at the sare time build up new world
upon the coast of Africa. a.--Richmond Bulletin.

the language of lhe New York Express; Senator
Douglas has prepared his bill to go through the
House under the previous questionable streak
,flightning without word of debate on iP-and
"This may be called the second degree in this
lefarious scheme of wrong, and it is just about
lpon par with the first. The man who could
deliberately connect such measure as the repeal

making himself more conspicuous as an asprant
Or the Presidency is Of all others the man to seek
0 stihe the voice Of debate. His conduct in this
natter, he is well aware will not at present bear
he light-hence the previous question must be 6
allied, the parliamentary screw applied, and the
leasures hurried through Congress with the most
ldecent haste. When the scheme is consumated,
douglas calculates he can stalk abroad with the Z
ush of Victory on his brow, and silence all cavil
