By Mr.. Garfield, of Angelme lie Pet
it Marin OF Briarhili. Trumbu!l county,
aad TAG others of Ashtabula and Trum
bull counties, asking that immediate
measures to be taken TO have The State
Constitution so amended as 10 insure TO

Mr.. Garfield said:
Mr.. President, I hold in nv hand q
peti ion,. n~umerousiy signed, asking that
measures be taken by this General AS
sembIy TO have the Constitution of the
State so amended. as to insure to women
the elective franchise.
In presenting this petition l ask the
INDULGENCE Of the Senate, while l make
a brief remark. Whatever may be the
ultimate opinion Of Senators as to the
measure here demanded, I trust that
every gentleman will concur in giving it
a respectful and candid consideration
The petition Of tie humblest citizen is
entitled 10 be heard on this floor, and the
greatest can ask nj more.
This is not the time to speak TO the
merits of the question here presented,
but 1 take occasion 10 say that The sign
els of this petition are not the dupes of
fanaticism or the devotees OF ignorance:
but for intelligence and patriotism they
rank second 10 none other among the
citizens Of the Stale.
There are, sir, seven hundred and for

principally from the counties OF Ashta-

Stearns County, Minnesota.
In perusing your. paper of the lfth
ult., l saw q statement which piade o u
that the people of Stesrns County were
on the point of starvation, or at least
there were about two thousand that
would require aid from abroad, and that
there was not one bushel OF wheat or
pats raised in the borders of The County.
About six or eight weeks since there
went some people from Sank Rapids and
vicinity. to Dubuque. and made a great
blow about the damage the Gfasshoppers
had done. and the scarcity Of provisions
de-, in Stearns County. but did not
let the people of St. Anthony and ST.
Paul know anything about it. They got
their news from the Chicago papers, and
the eastern mail. l suppose that those
miserable creatures called men did not
know whether Stearns County was in
Minnesota or Minnesota in Stearns Co,
but thought they would make sure and
get oui of the limits of the county to beg,
By going 10 Dubuque. But let me say
that there was enough, or nearly enough,
raised in Stearns County. of corn, oats.
de-. for the people in the County, and
there will be a large surplus Of potatoes
next spring, that will not be used.
There have been eight hundred sacks
of wheat. and some flour sent from Du
buque and hat neighborhood to ST. Paut,
for S;earns County. One Duchman
went from st. Cloud 10 St. Paul. and
got eight barrels Of the -four and took it
10 St. Cloud and tried 10 give some of it
away, but could not, So he rolled four
barrels into the street, and took the rest
of them home for his trouble. That is
the way they are starving in Stearns Co.
l was at St. Paul, and saw the wheat
stored up in a store house. and inquired
about it, and they told me that it was for
the people above Sank Rapids. in Stearns
County. That place is almost out of
the reach of civilization.
As for the Grassshoppers, they did
nearly destroy the entire crop. from one
to five miles back from the Mississippi.
but back of that the crops we're as good
as could be expected. taking into consid-
Grafton the lateness of the SPRING

County, as there are in Old Trumbull,
and other counties, that will need som
help, and but a few.

Of the heavy taxation and high rate of
