woNAN's Rfohrp.-The friends Of Woman's
enfranchisement and equality under the lawsj
have now the sihews Of war in theit hands for d
vigorous campaign. Some friend Of the cause has
deposited with Wendell Phillips $4,000, to be dsed,
principal and interest for its Advancement. The
expenditure of this SUN under the wise ndminis'
tration to which it is submitted, will no doubt 70
far in regenerating public sentiment, and efeoting
q change in the unjust and shameful legislation Of
the northern states especially at this time when
from various parts of the country attention is turn;
ed to the question.
la Erie, Pennsylvania recently, Judge Galbroath
has been giving q series of lectures on the subjeot
which were well ATTENDED and received by the poo.

should think them able.
In Michigan the question of the admission
Of women to the state University, though decided
against by the faculty, seems to be demanded By
the people. Governor Wisner in his late message
insists that the women of the state ought to en-
Joy the privileges Of the University on equal terms
with the men.
The New York Tribune speaking Of this subjec.
says.
"The Normal School, of course, welcomes TO
it's halls young women as well as young men The
University as yet opens its doors to males only
A pressure in favor of a more liberal and Impair
tial rule begins to be felt, and the demand is back
ed by Gov. Wisner in his inte excellent Message.
| think l am correct in stating that the Faculty Of
the University form the chief remaining obstacle
to the admission Of women, and i judge that their
resistance will not be protracted inveterately. In
fact, when il is conceded that the education,

NAL School Is proper and unexceptionable, il is
manifest that there is no remaining ground on
which to justify the exclusion Of girls from col.
leges-that the argument is exhausted, and that
only time is required to insure the inevitable 70,
suit. At present., the position of the anti Pro.
gressives is that a Female Department be added
to or created in the University-devoted, we must
presume, to the incubation of female Greek, phi,

not be distant"
We fDd the following among the news items Of
the papers:
'The citizens of the town of Bloomington, in,
Douglas county, Illinois, have recently passed an,
ordinance emitting women to an equality with,
men, as voters"
In INDIANA, numerously signed petitions have.
been presented to the Legislature for q change Of
the laws SO as to grant equal property rights to-
women with those enjoyed by men and also for
such a change in tho Constitution as to grant
women the elective franchise. These petitions were
presented in person, in the House of Representa-
tives by Mrs. Mary F. Thomas, and Mrs. Brid-
sail. This courtesy was not granted, however,
until after a warm debate in which the usual
amount Of slang and ridicule was INDUCED in by
those lordsof creation who were jealous lest the
unjust power they 2ossess should pass from
their hands. The speaker of the house left his
chair to advocate the granting of this courtesy,
and in reply to the aspersions of some Of the
members, spoke in terms of the highest commenr
dation Of the ladies who appeared as the repre-
sentatives Of the petitioners. The result indicates
a rapidly changing public sentiment among the
people.
