FEMALE SUFFRAGE.

At tho last session of our State Legis-
lature an amendment to the constitution
was adopted which provides for striking
out the word male and white, wherever
they occur in the constitution. Before
this amendment can become part Of the
law of our land, it must be approved by
the next legislature, and then submitted
to the high tribunal of the people for their
confirmation Or rejection. The object
sought 10 be obtained by striking out the
word 'white" has already been accom-
pllshed by the law granting negroes the
right to vote The onl y remaining ques-
ton to De disposed Of is in relation to fe-
male suffrage. It is not new question,
nor one confined to our own State. 1t Is
agitating the public mind more or less
throughout nearly every one of the Nor
thern States, and many intelligent women
and philanthropic men are ready to take
the stump in support oftheir pet measure
Of reform.
The circumstance of the Legislature
having approved this amendment has
given its friends courage to press forward
the measure with hope of ultimate sue
cess. We believe, however, that they are
doomed to disappointment. The actor
of the Legislature on this subject canno
be taken as criterion of the popular sen
timent of the people Of the State. Prob
ably one-half of those members who vote(
for the amendment are really opposed tt
it, and merely favored the measure SC a
to allow the question to be discussed b,
the people, trusting in their good sens
and to the next Legislature to decide it
We are no advocates Of female suffrage
and can see nothing inviting in tina
political millennium Of strong minde
women, where the husbands rock tn
cradle at home while the wife attends tn
elections and engineers the political cam
paign.

He was in this city several days, and after

affair was very successful under the super

EpIroRs GATE CIrY "A circumstance oc.
Cured last Sabbath afternoon to which pub
lie attention should be called, if for no other
purpose than as caution to the proper city
officers to avoid, in future, q repetition Of
what was certainly great dereliction Of duty
A gentleman of strictly temperate habits and
of most respectable connections here, in
crossing Main street. above Tenth, slipped,
and, in falling, struck his head, rendering him
insensible. In this state he was carried into
. neighboring saloon, and German physi
clan gave his opinion that the fall alone was
the cause of the insensibility. Nevertheless
the proprietor Of the saloon sent for the po-
lice, and the gentleman was removed to the
calaboose. Here he was detained, without
IRE or food, for several hours Of that cold
night, when he was released aud taken TO
the house of brother-in-law He was be.
numbed with cold, from the effects OF which
he has not been able to leave his house since.
