Pennsylvsnia-claiming to be in earnest. al
though he was supposed to be loking-moved
as an amendment 10 the District OF Columbia
franchis bill, a clause giving females right to

as follows Messrs. Anthony, Brown, Foster,
and Wade, Republicans, and Gessrs. Bucka-
lew, Cowan, Nesmith, Patterson, and kibble
Democrats. Several Republican Senators vot.
ed against the amendment, not because they
had any objection to giving females the ballot
but because they did not desire to complicatt
the question before the Senate.

The case was appealed and the judgment re-
affirmed. MIR. Fincher is now undergoing his
