GO ON, MADAM.

Mrs. STANTON, who ran for Congress
in the sth New York Congressional dis
trict, obtained just eight votes. Let this
strong minded woman not be dissour-
aged. The beginning of the Abolition
party was no more formidable than the
vote she obtained See what that or
ganization has accomplished. 1t has
carried the Government by storm,
brought on a civil war, killed more than
a million men, made five hundred thous-
and widows, and dissolved the Union.
Go on, Mrs. STANTON. Mount the fiery
stump, face the seas of upturned faces,
hurl your feminine ihunders at the
rascally males, WOO them, win thin,
beat them, drive them like cattle. At
the next election you may count on
double the vote you recently received.
Indeed, you may 60 as high as seven
teen. With this sort of progression
you may count on getting into Congress
within period of thirty or forty years.

FALLING STARS.
Partial Results Obtained-TheE x-
hibition Unavoidably Post
poned till next Year.

New York, November l6.-The Off
GERS of the Pioneer report that on the
night of the 18th inst. and morning of
the l4th a splendid display of meteors
was visible from the ship. The Pioneer
at that time was between thirty and forty
miles southwest of Montauck Point.
Prof. Loomis, of Yale College, writes
concerning the late expected meteoric
shower, explaining all that is known OF
the nature of meteorids, and says: On
Monday night, November 18th, COM
pany Of observers at this place counted
six hundred and ninety six shooting stars
in FIVE hours and twenty minutes, which
is about four times the average number
visible for the same period throughout
the year. On Tuesday night, November
18th. another company counted eight
hundred and eighty-one shooting stars In
five hours, which is about five times the
average number. On Wednesday night
the sky was overcast so that no observa-
tons could be made. We conclude,
then, that the number of shooting stars
visible about the 18th was very remark
able. Nevertheless this display is not to
be compared with that of November 18th,
1888, in which the number of meteors
was variously estimated at from ten
thousand to thirty thousand per hour.
The grand display, therefore, which it
was supposed might possibly occur this
year, has not been witnessed in the Uni
ted States, and probably not in Europe,
or it would have been announced to us
by telegraph. 1t may have been wit
messed in Asia or the Pacific ocean; but
if such had been the case, II seems prob
able that the number visible in the Uni
ted States would have been greater than
it was. The telegram in this morning s
Herald, purporting to have come from
Greenwich, is evidently spurious. 1t is,
therefore, probable that there has rot
been witnessed this year in any part Of
the world, display Of meteors at all to
be compared with the grand display of
1888.

Destitution Among Negroes-A Mother
and Child Die from Starvation

The reader will perhaps ask, where is
the Freedmen's Bureau ? or the colored
benevolent associations which collect
money from negroes every week? But
echo answers, where? We have not seen
either of them sticking out anywhere,
not to do any good. A terrible case of
suffering and death from restitution was
related to us yesterday by Mayor With
ers. About one week ago negro woman
and her two children we're carried to a
hut on Ann street by negro man named
Willis. The rent, which was $40 per
month, was paid by him in advance.
The woman was in delicate health, and
after placing her and the two little chill
dren in the dilapidated old shanty he
started off to bring the bedding and fur
niture, but returned no more. One of
the children took sick and the mother,
being unable to move, was compelled to
lie on the bare floor Of the howell and
watch her child die by inches from AFFECT
want and starvation.
The poor woman was unable to give
any alarm, grim death having already
marked her, too, for his own, and for
several days the helpless mother watched
the corpse of her dead child and the
agonies of the little living sufferer, which
she clasped to her bosom as il to rob the
grim monster Of his prey. BY some ac-
cident, negro living in the neighbor-
hood visited the house, and discovered
the shocking sight, and at once acquaint-
ed Mayor Withers of the facts. The
Mayor Immediately repaired to the hut,
and found the woman in the last agonies
Of death, with the dead child on one side
OF her and the living skeleton Of the
other in her arms. A physician was at
once called in, and every effort was made
to save her, but it was too late. She
died shortly after, relating the heartrend-
ing details to Mayor Withers. She stat
ed that the negro Willis was her husband,
and that he had cruelty deserted her and
the children with starvation staring them
in the face. The surviving child has
since been kindly cared for, and will
recover. The Mayor ordered the arrest
Of the negro man Willis, and he will be
held to a strict accountability for the ter
rible result of his heartlessness Mobile

THE ISSUE DECIDED.

The question may be asked of one hun
bred persons who voted the Radical
ticket, if they voted with the understand
ing that the question of negro suffrage
was to be decided by that vote, and at
least three-fourths Of them will repudiate
the idea Indignantly. Especially would
this be the case with soldiers. They are
almost to a man, opposed TO giving social
and political equality to the negro, and
had the point been made directly, in the
election, they would have answered nay,
by an overwhelming vote. The civilians
also take the same view Of the case by a
large msjority.-PeOria Democrat
We think, with all proper Difference to
the opinion of our contemporary, that the
triumphant party triumphed upon the
issue of negro suffrage. If an election
should take place tomorrow upon that
single issue, the Radical majority would
be still greater.

No Routs Of Advanced Guards.

New YoRH, November l6.-The Ere-
ming Express says the most active prep
arations are now being made at the
Roberts headquarters for grand move
ment against Canada During the late
fortnight some of the leading military
officers of the organization have held
consultations in relation to the martial
programme to be adopted when the
Fenian forces move from their respective
States across the frontier The result OF
their deliberations is at present pro-
found secret; Generals ONeill and
Spear and President Roberts, frankly
avow that the new movement means
work against the British authorities in
Canada. 1t is said that the discipline of
the next army of invasion will be far
superior and more effective than that Of
which the detachment OF Lime Stone
Ridge was the advanced guard. 100000
have already been enrolled under the
title of Fenian avengers, who have
pledged themselves to be ready at any
moment to prevent the execution Of
Lynch and other prisoners. These men
have been divided into regiments and
brgades, and when all the men deemed
necessary shall have taken this pledge
operations will commence.

OFFICIAL CORRESPONDENCE.
Letter from Sir Frederick Bruce.

WASHINGTON, November l6.-The fol-
lowing letter from the British Minister
was received to-day by the Secretary OF
State: 80,
WASHINGTON. November Is, 1866.
SIR: have the honor to acknowledge
the receipt of your note of the 9th ult,
relating 10 the sentences of death passed
on J. Lynch and ]. Mcmahon in Canada,
and stating the views entertained by the
Government of the United States, and
the various considerations of law, policy
and humanity which might be expected
to arise in the course of the trials OF the
individuals concerned in the raid com
menced on Canada last spring.
Immediately on the receipt of that note
transmitted copy of it to Her Males
TVS government, and l await their IN
structons before entering at length upon
the several and weighty subjects con-
tanned in it.
The course pursued by the Canadian
Government in bringing these cases be-
fore the regular tribunals of justice, thus
securing to the prisoners the full protec-
ton which the law affords to the ac-
cused, and the readiness shown by them
to communicate all such documents to
the Consul of the United States as may
throw light on the justice Of the SEN
fences and the regularity of the proceed
ings, will, / trust satisfy the Govern
ment of the United States that, while
indicating the majesty of the law, the
authorities do not conduct the prosecu-
tions in any vindictive or harsh spirit
am, moreover, authorized to state
that the whole question of the disposal of
such of the prisoners as may be con-
victed has been referred for decision to
Her Majesty's government, who will Ger,
tainly be animated by desire so to deal
with it as to secure peace and harmony
between the population living in such
immediate proximity and separated by
long frontier so easily traversed.
have the honor to be, with the highest
consideration, sir, your most obedient
and humble servant,

EoUEsra1sN1sM EXTRAORDINARY.

Gen. O. 0. Howard, in q recent lee
ture delivered in Newark, N. D., on
"Christian duty to the South, said the
actual relation of the North to the South
is that of the conqueror to the con
ouered. Some preferred milder terms,
but this is the actual state of the case.
He thereupon argues that something
more than magnanimity is required,
and that strict exactions are proper.
This paragraph we find in an exchange
paper. HOWARD is a respectable soldier,
no doubt, but is baby in politics. The
party Of which he is considerable light,
has adopted the idea that the structure OF
this Government is consolidation. The
States are not sovereignties, aggregated
for specified objects into general gov
eminent, but only so many geographical
divisions of an entire and unlimited gov
eminent of masses. The Union, is
union of people, not of States; and the
supreme authority in all matters resides
at Washington. The authority of States
is only local in its character, and is per-
mitted from motives of convenience. 1t
may be withdrawn at the pleasure OF
Congress State constitutions may be
overturned, judicial decisions annuled'
and statutes abrogated by the central
government. In word, the territory OF
the United States is under one absolute
government, located at Washington.
And vet we hear such men as
HOWARD talking of conquest and
subjugation. Conquest of what Z
Subjugation of what? If part of an
entire body offend, does another part
wage war upon it, conquer it and hold it
in subsection? If the foot offend, do the
hands put it in a pillory, or condemn it
to 20 uncovered, unprotected, that 1t may
be punished? What would be thought
Of the sanity of one who should condemn
his feet to the penalty Of walking with
out shoes upon frozen ground, because
they had given him some offense, or Of
one who should burn his fingers for a
similar reason? Would not everybody
say he was mad, and should be taken
care of Such madness could not
perceive that punishment of one
part of the body was punishment
of the whole. 1t is precisely
an with the HowARDs. The South--a
parts conquered by another part, and
held in subsection for purposes of pun
ishment There is just as much sanity
in one case as in the other. 1t is no
more possible to punish the South with
out injury to the whole country, than 1t
would be to punish part of ones body
without harm to the whole. The idea of
consolidation and subjugation acting in
harmony, is monstrous absurdity. They
are essentially antagonistic, and can
never become reconciled Subjugation
includes the idea of former independ
ence. A former independence does not
include the idea of consolidated gov
eminent which carries with it general
allegiance. What political equestrian

Legislation on Sepulturc.

WASHINGTON, November l6-In order
to ascertain the facts in regard to the &C

sage of an act to remove the remains OF
deceased Union soldiers from the State
cemetery at Austin, which has excited so
much indignation that Col. j. NJ Moore,
chief of the Government burial corps, en-
tered into correspondence with u member
of the Senate from that State. From the
statement Of this gentleman, and through
other sources, il appears evident that
there has been a Misrepresentation as 10

lative action in the premises II seems
that this cemetery was set apart by the
State some thirty years ago for the

State, and that none have, pre-

United States troops, been admit

public citizsas TO whom the State
assumed to give the rites Of sepulture.
After the occupation of Austin by the
