Make Mny ror the Wnmen, |,

The "strong minded insist that suffering
and suffrage shall go together. The New
York Express has brief word to say on
that line which is not without Its points:
The Radical Press of the West, which
are so fierce for negro suffrage, are making
all sorts of fun over the idea of giving suf-
frage TO women. If negroes are to vote
generally, women will not long be eN-
cluded from the ballot. Those who begin
innovations will find it hard to stop. 1t is
easier 70 break the dikes than to mend
them, and this the Radicals, by and by.
may find to be true, both to their cost and
their sorrow. The subject of woman suf-
frage is far ahead of the point reached by
and between 'agitation," 'gallantry,"
equality" ''liberty," &c, the few women
who demand all this, will in time carry
the day.

ACOurt Scene.

A very affecting scene occurred IN the
Louisville City Court, ON the 10th, between
father and son, named FosTER. The
young man was before the court, on several
charges Of forgery, and his father, whole
sale grocer was made the principal witness.
When asked ii he had not paid similar
checks for his son, he replied, bursting into
tears, that he had pad between $4,000 and
$4,000 for him. The heart of the old man
could stand II no longer, being compelled
to thus make public the faults of his son.
The scene in the court, as the stout man
shed tears like an infant was most sad.
Such an incorrigible scamp was not worth
one tear, but what win not parent dor

Said the Boston Herald, The other day:
at Is rumored that Chief Justice Chase
has been offered the Presidency Of the Pa
clfc railroad, vacated by the departure OF
General Dix for Europe. The salary X
$1,000 per annum."
To which the New York World appcnds,
with more facotious tone than the dignity
of the Chief Justice business would seem to
suggest that
Considering that Judge Chase Is now
presiding Justice on the supreme bench

ventiOns IN the country an active sehcmcr
for the succession to the Presidency and
that the Radical programme proposes 30

ships aud other political favors to party
pets--if the Judge accepts this new addi-
tiOn TO his duties. present and prospective
he will have his hands full"
We have personally known the now
ChiefJustice of the United States well on
TO thirty years-thc greater portion of that
period, we have known him well; and Il
gives us pleasure To tcstify-our testimony
based on that lengthy acquaintance, and
the facilities 1t afforded for us TO form q
profound Judgment of his morbid unwil-
| lingness to accept public office, only when
forced upon him, and there is no escape
how large his capacity Is. to perform the
duties of not only one, or dozen offices
but IL the public exigency should arise
and 1t seems as if one was eliminating that
way--he can fiji them al, from President
of the United States--which he would most
lprefer-down to township constable, or,
ward oycrsecrof the poor, neither of which
would he "throw over his shoulder" rather
than refuse doing duty for the public, for
whose interest he has ever labored, with a
diligence and zeal excelled only by his dis
lintcrestedness.
Knowing him so well, howcver-his
marked modesty, all through his political
career, when the several offices which he
has, ut various times, filled, when thrust
upon him--wc do not hesitate to cali the
attention OF the country to the proposition,
already made in Congress, to insist that the
Chief Justice shall take in charge the
finances Of the Government--shall not only
be Chief Superintendent of law, which he
now is, but shall he Chief Superintendent
VI lHltIIlal ittNtluts MlJnOuL WHICH MS
kind of law would be rather inefficient.
Probably the Chief Justice would rebel
against such onerous duties being added to
the large load already piled upon his UNI
willing shoulders, but we know how, here
tofore, gentle persuasion reached his, SEEM
ingly, inlcNible objections to taking office,
and how he ultimately gracefully yielded,
when convinced that the public necessities
demanded a sacrifice of personal comfort
and slight giving way of innate, proven
bal modesty.
Possibly, too, we are not disinterested in
this matter! Well, we frankly confess that
should the Office of Chief of Internal Rev
enue be forced upon him--and, of course.
force will be required-hc will have afforded
him all the facilities to trace out where can
be found that discrepancy in his cash ac-
count, which was left unexplained, when
he retired from the Treasury, of THmTY

Responsible parties put in n bid to fur

BILE lands up in Berkshire county. Mass, at

He has made good thing Of it, inasmuch
AS he had already drawn over $400,000 for
marble which another could sell at Sl25,-

"DAN SETcHELL," as he was popularity
known--one of the four great comedians OF
the American stage--is believed TO have
been lost at sea. He sailed from San Fran
cisco nearly year ago, for Auckland, New
Zealand, where he had an engagement to
play, and the ship Trieste, in which he took
passage, has not since been heard from. 1t
is possible that, with his fellow passengers,
he may have been cast away on some desert
island, but the mS1s probable conclusion
Is that he has persisted. ft

Fun Ahcad-'<Stand back and lei
the Coffin pass"

Under the caption of "Gouernor Coz 10
90 Orerboard,' the Cleveland Plain Dealer,
OF Thursday last treats us this nice little
dish of savory hash. Wewish it distinctly
to be- generally well and widely understood
that we are a SHCENCK man, in such an ius-
portant and interesting eXigency:
Governor Cox, of Ohio, is evidently des-
tined To be defeated for denomination by
the party which elected him in 1865. Ii Is
given ont that General Robert e. Schenck
will be Il candidate for the Goyernorship,
anticipating an easy victory over Cox tri-
umphant election by the people, aud an i'm
mediate promotion from the chair of State
to the Senate of the United States. Mr..
Schenck is evidently now the choice of the
Radicals for Governor. The eyasiVe, un-
manly and unsatisfactory course of General
Cox upon the question of negro suffrage Ia
the campaign of 1865, created against him
in the minds of the earnest Radicals the
most intense disgust, and they propose to
seek their revenge by cutting him off with
one term. We do not think General Cox has
force enough, or strength sufficient. To re-
sist the pressure TO that end. Besides the
i'll will of the Radicals, IA large faction of
the military wing of his party do not like
him, and will join in the crusade against
him. 1t is said that Adiutant General b.
X. Cowan seeks the Governorship as re
ward for his invaluable services during the
war against rebellion, and that ring
well known in Columbus us skillful mani
lpulators-haS been formed TO secure the
| prize for Cowan, even as against Schenck
and Cox. But Cowan Is a light weight,
and will give but little trouble. General
| ISchenck' desire to be Governor is prompted
solely by his itching for the Senatorship.
From pretended conservatism General
Schenck has sprung into the most ultra
radicalism. He seeks TO become more of a
JacObin than Wade, and rival that worthy
! in the esteem of the Western Reserve.
He will be the most prominent COM
petitor with Wade for the seat now
Occupied by him in the Senate. Schenck's
| friends claim that Southern Ohio Is entitled
to the Senatorship, and if he gets the NOM
ination OF the Radicals tor Governor, he is
master of the situation, and controls the
campaign, thus preventing a repetition of
the game played upon him in the Sherman
Schenck struggle. when the State Central
Committee managed TO put sherman in all
the radical counties of the State, where he
made 1t his business to secure the votes OF
members certain of an election, while
General Schenck was turned into counties
where Radicalism had no show, and he had
no opportunity to secure commitments 20
himself. The General then swore vengeance
both against Sherman and Cox, and he now
