The Waukesha Plaindealer learns that
Miss Della Schuyler, q young lady about
seventeen years old, was badly injured in
the town Of Summit, on Sunday. She was
passing by horse attached to buggy
and her skirts touched the animal, which
became frightened and began kicking; his
foot got entangled in her skirts, and she
was not released until her collar bone and
both legs were broken.
We earnestly and sympathizingly regret
the sad occurrence above recorded, but in
the name Of propriety, of sense, of safety
to personal exposure, to manning and to
Life itself, why will not the better half of
creation rise above the spread-eagle style
of embracing every foot of the sidewalk

raxation and Representation.

The proposed amendment which the Rsdi-
Gals are urgingupo the adoption of the South,
violates the feature in the Constitution which
preserves the j,tste mile" between these two
important elements which are to be adjusted
in all governments. From the slave popula-
ton two fifths are subtrscted in arriving at
the proper basis Of representation. In order to
balance this, the law of compensation is re-
sorted to to exert its just influences, and two
fifths are likewise subtracted from the same
population in arriving at the basis of direct
taxation. This constitutional preservation
of the .juste milieu-the proper tuttsimns ibis
in this difficult IN ntetlias reS-is to be violated
by this Radical amendment, by taxing the to-
tai black population, and reducing its repre-
sentation to the standard of the white basis.
In the language Of a contemporary, this vile
amendment takes the weights out of one
scale, and puts additional ones in the other.
Such is the Radical moral idea. The consti-
tutional basis of representation is now "the
whole number Of free persons" Unless we
make the negro voter the Radical pro-
gramme designs to restrict US to the three
ffths. In 1872 the new apportionment
takes place. .s9t,. .t<s..

A Logical Woman.

Mrs. Elizabeth C,dy Stanton, who does not
belong to the sensitive plant group of female
ioveiness, announces herself, through the
columns Of the Anti-Savery Standard, as a
candid ,te for Congress ii2 the eighth Con-
gressiona district of New York She carries
Mr.. Greeley idea that the franchise is right
and not privilege, to its logical extension,
and SO boldly proclaims her creed to be free
speech free press, free men, and free trade"
free women of course being understood. Mrs
Stanton speaks out with very masculine
tone, and makes point on Horace, which it
will puzzle that philosopher to evsde.
For if the franchise is a right to which the
uneducated negro is entitled by the jus dioi-
nam, newly discovered by the Radicals, then
as proposition i'll logic, and as question OF
expectancy, it seems clear that the educated
white women d the country ire equally emit
tod to exercise controlling voice 10 cleo
tons And, if Che Anti-SIavery STANDARD OF
the party whose exponent it is, can look for
ward TO d Mosaic Congress- as the introduce
lion of the Millenenm, we cannot perceive
why that august assembly siio4ld exclude
Mrs. Stanton, or Miss Anna Dickinson, or
Mrs. Stowe. The women vi the North re-
present its intelligence, its refinement aud its
good breeding, and while we know nothing
about Mrs Stanton's claims AS an exponent
Of these qualities, we are painfully aware
tlat Congress might be improved in these sew
eral particulars.
What she thinks of woman d rights in this
behalf, she declares as follows
In view of the fact that the Freedmen of
the South and the millions of foreigners now
crowding our Western shores, most of whom
represent neither property, education or civil
lzatIon, are all IN the progress of events to be
enfranchised the best interests of the nation
demand that we outweigh the incoming pau
perism, ignorance and degradation, with the
wealth, education, and refinement Of the wo-
men of the republic. On the high ground Of
safety to the nation and justice TO its citizens
! ask your support in the coming election"
For Our own part we have no hesitation in
declaring that the answer to her argument
from Mr. Greely's platform seems t. be i'm
possible; and we trust the fair "a aspi-
rant will receive an overwhelming majority.
The next thing will be an application at the
Masonic Lodges for the admission of the
strong minded female population, and in an
other generation, we shall expect filters to
give place to trousers and to hear the silvery
tones Of feminine voices rising above the de-
bates Of the National Bear Garden,

But, while the contest Of arms is over, there
is another contest in which we are now to
engage, In which we San know no surrender,
for, whatever else has been lost, we can MAIN
tain our moral and intellectual strength. In
the cultivation of science and literature and
the arts, and in the application of these to
the moral social, intellectual and physical
developments Of our people, we may show
that we have the po,oer and the tcW to rise
above the disasters OF civil strife, and main-
tain, in unsullied purity, our distinctive civil
ization and while We restore the ruin and
desolation around us and give new directions
to our industry, we may make progress III
greatness as a people, aud at the same time
preserve the principles of truth aud probity
and right.
1t is related by Carlyle that on one of the
last days in the lite of Frederick the Great, he
was sitting i'll his cabinet, with his young
nephew Frederick William by his side. He
was fond of the lad, for he was soon to sue
coed him on the throne of Prussia. Calling
him to him, he said, "My bog, translate tor
for me this fable ofLa Fontaine." This was
done with such readiness and correctness by
the young prince as obtained the King )
praises-praises to an extent to- embarrass
him, and drew from the little fellow the hon
est confession, ~ dill 1t Nth my tutor fe,o
days since" The King was So much delight
ed with the reply, that taking him by the
hand, he walked with him into the gardens OF
the palace, and stopping, at an obeIisk they
were passing, said to him, "See that tall COL
nmn, its uprfghtaess is its strs''gthi Remem-
Der this evening, my good Fritz: perhaps thou
wilt think of it, long after when am gone.

closing remark, the striking commentary Of
the King of Prussia on the Importance of the
supreme Lore oftruM and probity, and i'll the
words of this great monarch, say to you, that
in the formation Of your individual character
and in impressing that character upon our
own people, ever remember that CTS Up

touring mills in that city, with capacity
ranging from 100 barrels up to 500. These
turn out daily, or are capable Of ,loihg SO, s.
200 barrels of flour. Besides these there are
smaller mills capable of turning out daily all
additional 500 barrels, which swell the Ca

NokFoLK, October 10
United States.
SIR: In compliance with your request,
submit herewith the substance of the verbal
stateInont ! made you few days since in
answer to your question why no demand had
been made upon the Military authorities for
the surrender Of Jefferson Davis, in order that
be M light be tried upon the indictments founG
against him in the United States Circuit Court
at the term he'd in Norfolk in May last. Two
reasons have influenced me in not taking any
steps for removing him from their custody.
The one relates to his safe keeping, the other
to his own personal comfort and health. |
have never bad any doubt but that he would
be delivered to the United States Marshal for
the District whenever he should have demand
ed him on capias or any other civil process.
But you can readily understand that so soon
as he goes into the hands Of that officer, upon
any action had by me, his place of cqnfine-
ment would be one Of the State jails Of Vir-
ginia. At Fortress Monroe all necessary pre-
cautions can be and are taken to prevent his
escape. Over the internal police of a State
Jail the Marshal has no authority, and the
custody of the prisoner could not be secured
save at very great expense. Mr.. Davis is
now in as comfortable quarters az the most
of those occupied by the army officers at the
Fort. The location is d healthy one. His
family haye free access to him. Hp has full
opportunity for exercise in the open air If
his health be feeble, remove him to one Of the
State jails, and his condition, instead of being
bettered, would III all respects be much for
the worse 81 ..e4
His counsel probably understand all this,
and think will not be likely to take any
steps which would decrease the personal com
forts or endangef the life Of theif client.
l have the honor to BE-, most respectfully
your obedieut servant. l.. H. CHANpLER,
