A HOsPITABLE COMMUNITY

"The good people of Danville," says the
Episcopal Methodist, care deserving of all
praise for the liberal and generous manner in
which they entertained the preachers of the
Virginia Conference at its late session, held in
that hospitable and thrifty town. For our
selves, we can say that in all the years through
which we have been attending the annual ses-
sions of the Conference, we have never been
more comfortably and sumptuousy enter
tanned and, what was true of ourselves seems
to have been the experience of all the minis
tiers with whom we conversed. These was no
stint. The tables were loaded with every
comfort and luxury, every door was opened :;
the hospitality was unboanded. Nor can
we speak in less high terms .of the Chris
tan courtesy and liheralty of the pastors of
The different churches of the town, The Bap-
fist, Presbyterian and Episcopal Churches
were all thrown open to our ministers for reli-
gious services and the pastors of these
churches respectively were cordial in their in
tercourse with our ministers, and, apparently,
deeply interested spectators Of our Conference

ease. The mortality among the children is
! known to be very great.
| Deprivation might drive some Of these peo-
pie to desperation, and hence the fear of an
outbreak. Again the frsedmea in some pla-
ces had been deluded with the idea that, on
the first day Of January, the usual time for
hiring slave or free labor by the year, lands
would be apportioned to them by the Govern.
ment, and that they would become freehold
ers as well as freedmen. Pains have been ia
ken to disabuse them of this fase idea and

they must consent to hire out upon farms or
| plantations, or be left to their fate No re-

on their part. The African race in this coun-
try has always been patient and submissive to
authority, and there have been scarcity any
instances of any organized insurrection ON
their part, even at times. when opportunity
| favored it.
Governor Jenkins of Georgia, in his recent
inaugural address, bears witness to the fact
that the African, :" during all the years of his
ensavenent, has been .narvelously quiet, and
profoundly content with his condition
| Nor does the Governor doubt that, in their
changed condition, the freedmen will yield to
the necessity of subordination and dependence.
No less able" he says, than formerly to fill
their accustomed departments of labor they
should be made to realize that this is net only
compatible with, but an indispensable condi-
ton of their altered status If won to the
practices of honesty, sobriety, and industry,

can furnish, because of the thorough acquain-

To the Senate and House of Representatives.
The undersigned, women of the United States,
respectfully ask an amendment to the Consti-
tuition that shall prohibit the several States
from DISTINGUISHING any of their citizens on
the ground of sex.
In making our demand for suffrage, we
would call your attention to the fact that we
represent 100000 people-one half the
entire population of the country-intelligen
virtuous, natiye-born American citizens; and
yet are we the only class who stand outside
the pale of political recognition.
The Constitution classes us as "free peo-
pie" and counts us sohoze persons in the basis
of representation, and yet are we governed
without our consent, compelled to pay taxes
without appeal, and punished for violations of
law without choice of judge or juror.
The experience of all ages, the Declarations
of the Fathers, the statute laws of our own
day, and the awful revolution through which
We have just passed, all prove the uncertain
tenure of life, liberty and property, so long az
the ballot-the only weapon of self-protec-
tion-is not in the hand of every citizen.
Therefore, as you are now amending the
Constitution, and, in harmony with advancing
civilization, placing new safeguards round the
individual rights of 1000, 900 of emancipated
slaves, we ask that you extend the right Of
suffrage to women-the only remaining class
of DISTINGUISHED citizens-and thus fulfil your
Constitutional obligation to guarantee to ev-
ry State in the Union Republican form of
Government"
AS all partial application of Republican
principles must ever breed a complicated leg
islation as we'll as disconnected people, we
would pray your honorable body, in order to
insure domestic tranquility, that yon lcgislate
hereafter for persons, citizens, taxpayers and
not for class or caste.
For Justice and equality your petitioners
will ever pray,
