FEMALE SUFFRAGE.-In the senate the negro
suffrage bill for the District of Columbia be-
ing under confederation, Mr., Cowan tdemo-

women to vote. He said it was coming to
that-thst woman. suffrage Is inevitable that
it cannot be resisted when demanded, as it
will be, by fifteen millions of American wo.
men when suffrage has been granted to re-
groes. 1t seems but reasonable that our wo-
men should ask to be considered at least as
worthy, intelligent and capable as negroes ;
but radical demagogues do not SO regard
them, they voted down the amendment

& ROCK ISLAND RAILRoAD.

We netios in the Chicago Times of The ed
inst. . lengthy article with rsfsrsacs to the
proposed railroad between Peoria and Rock
Island, in which the ground is taken that it
is not public policy that the road should be
built. The main argument to sustain the
position is that il does not increase the IA
cilisiss Of getting to Chicago and therefore
the soad oeuld not be made to pay. We
wonder If our Contemporary Is aware Of the
fact that there are few villages on the sea
board commonly called New York, Fhiladel-
phia, Baltimore and W Washington, whore pso-
pie in this region occasionally have business,
and that those points could be reached from
this region ct q saving of over 100 miles By
way of the Logsnsport & Peoria and the
Pennsylvania Central railroads if this road
was built, when compared with the distance
We now have to travel by the way of Chioagos
Such is the fact, and there is no finer country
in the whole northwest than that through
which the road would PASS The distance
from Rock Island to PEORIA lie about 90 milee
and there is NO road between these points
except the c. B. Q. R. R., and the county
seats OF the populous and wealthy coun ties o.
Henry and Stark are now ten miles from
any lins of railroad. -es
IL may be true,ss suggested, that Rock Is
land and Peoria are not towns of sufficient sig,
to warrant the building of such line of road
as is quietly suggested by our Contemporary
but we submit that they have right to spend
their money in that way ifthey see I'll and tbs
Chicago ought not to have her jealousy ex
cited by suoh an enterprise or to make AMI
fuss about it if she is NOS called on to furnish
the money. She has the biggest and tn
deepest holes in the ground of any town in
the northwest, in the shape OF her tunnel an,
her artesian we'll, and we submit that SD
might safely rest upon these laurels withou
opposing the efforts of her weak sisters Il
furnish themselves with inter communicate,
with one another snd with the rest of tn
world, without frss paying .ribu.s to Chica

Thad. Stevens is fishing for chance to de-
fend JEFF. Davis. A Washington telegram
to the Cincinnati Eaq,sirer. says:
Thad. Stevens took the bull by the horns on
Monday, and declared that JEFF Davis was not
guilty Of treason-that the magnitude of the war
rendered the idea Of any party 10 it having com.
mitted treason simply absnrd--and that he did
not mean to be apatty to any legislation look
ing to secure the punishment of any person
when the law, at the time the alleged offence
was committed was not sufficient for his convie'
ton. 1t is understood here that Thad
Stevens would not object TO act as one OF Mi,
Davis counsel, and defend him before the cour,
and jury on the indictment tor treason, aud
understand he will be engaged as one OF tht
counsel Of the Distinguished State prisoner.
