the New York Constitutional Convention,

petition asking the convention to abolish un-
Just distinctions on the ground of sex, in the
= new constitution. Mr.. Greeley, however, as
chairman of the commit ee on suffrage, report
ed plumply against the innova ton, and now
the Tribune proposes an entirely new plan to
"eleyate the sex. "a female legislature, ;" says
the Tribune, "a Jury Of women, we Gould abide
a legislature of men and women, a jury pro-
miscously drawn from the two sexes we
do not believe in" To avoid this awful COM
mingling of the sexes, the Tribune proposes to
have duplicate legislature, and assign to the
female branch all that relates to the family,
marriage, divorce, separation from bed and
board the control and maintenance ofchildren,
education, the iproperty rights OF .marred wo-
men, inheritance, dover ,&5c.y&oc., as subje cts
that could wisely and0 safely be- set ,lapart

10 avoid the contamination which might be
expected from political gatherings, the Tribune
further proposes that the voting be done By let
ter. /" Under this ,plan," as the Tribune says,
1.-THE invalid, the bed-ridden, the bereaved, and
eUen ths absent could vote as well as others ;.
No doubt! Anybody could vote under this

rather like the wide-awake Chicago she will
