FEMALE SUFFRAGE.

Female suffrage, it appears, is not
novelty in this country. Mrs. Stanton,
who ran for Congress in New York, has
published statement to the effect that
the Constitution of New Jersey author
lied women to vote from l776 to 1907.
Mrs. Lucy Stone, however, who appeared
to have made an examination OF the
Jersey archives, corrects Mrs. Stanton,
and says the Constitution Of l776, under
which women exercised the right to vote
in that State, continued in force until
1874. But previous to this time the Leg
islature, in 1907, passed a law which
prohibited all but white male citizens
from voting. She argues that this being
a mere legislative enactment, it was
violation of the constitution of that
State, and that all proceedings under the
act of 1907 were unlawful down to 1874.

marks Of great age, and doubtless having
beon preserved from decay by the exclu'

formed as to what course the men pur-
sued on making this singular discovery.
II is to be hoped and presumed they bur
led decently the remains Of this defnnct
Indian warrior, and carefully collected
the various articles found, as they are
full of interest to the antiquary and sa-
ran =,
We do not profess to be very well
versed in Indian lore, but we never re-
collect having heard that II was custom
airy for the red aborigines to bury their
dead in this way. 1t might be, however,
that this was an exceptional case, and its
development may furnish clue TO some
missing link in the chain Of history.
Were it not that it is unusual for bod
les to float up stream, we might venture
10 suggest that the bones thus brought to
light are the remains of the great discov-
erer of the Mississippi, whom history
records TO have been buried in this way,
some hundreds Of miles south Of this
city, in order to save the body from mu-
tilation by the Indians

A RAY OF LIGHT.

A plan, or plans, for the paci6catior
of the country, are said to be matured al
Washington. Any plan that recognises
the States of the South as equals with
those of the North, and does so control
the internal policy of the States so as to
place the negro population on political
equality with the white race, will find
warm supporters in this section. 1t is
impossible that these heroic, but down.
trodden States, will voluntarily accede
to the system by which the Radical party
proposes to govern them. A system
even worse may be forced upon them,
and they may submit with the best grace
they can command. But that they shall
consent to degradation, or invite humili-
alton, is impossible. To ratity the
amendment would be both. To ask
Lees army to brand him with a mark of
infamy, is to ask an impossibility, is to
insult its intelligence, question its integ-
rity and mock at its manhood. AS its
hero, that army will accept none other
neither Grant, por Sherman, nor Sheri-
dan. And so of all the Southern leaders,
What pleasure would the rank and file
find in voting and holding Office, after
they had placed stigma on the great
men of the South, and bolted the doors
of liberty against them By no act of
theirs, by no consent of theirs, will their
leaders be denied a right or deprived of
a privilege enjoyed by themselves. 1t
is not manly to offer them such propo-
sition. But it is becoming evident that
the extreme measures of the revolution
lists are in danger of defeat Already
there is disaffection in Congress. The
bill of Stevens has been referred to the
Judiciary Committee, and that amounts
to defeat. Bingham and Spaulding have
thrown frebrands upon the hearth
stone of the happy family, and created
dismay and confusion. They, and class
of radical members who open not their
mouths in debate, are denounced in the
Satanic press as traitors They will not
consent to the scheme of territorializing
the South, because they know that it is
unconstitutional and revolutionary. But
they will listen to other propositions,
and, it may be, though abating nothing
of their detestation of the South, they
hear an ominous sound in the distance
sound that may grow to roar-the SEN
timent voice of the people, reacting upon
the surface of Northern society They
probably discover that extreme measures
will ruin their party, and think it pru-
dent to jump off the train that bears
them These members, President john
son, and prominent men of the South,
may succeed in devising measures that
will command the assent of the South
and the appreciation of the North. AT
least, they may still further distract and
divide the great Radical family. They
may construct platform that all but the
followers of Sumner, Stevens, and that
smooth.tOngue viper, Wendall Phillips,
may stand upon. Inan event so greatly
to be desired, we pause at the enquiry:
What would become of the Southern
loyalists

Those who wait on US tell US that we

We desire popularity. We find that the
most popular men are the ones who in
vest all their surplus money in United
States Bonds, on which no taxes are
levied or paid. Then these bond-holders

is quite out Of place on such subjects
would consume unnecessarily valuable
time, and might elicit language and sen
timents which would increase this irrita'
ton that has already attained so great
violence at the North, and in the Fed
eral Government Itsuilices to say what
has already been said with sufficient
force and explicitness, that the adop'
ton Of these amendments would
be on the part Of any Southern
gentleman, an act Of selfdegtAda'
ton, would sink them below the grade OF
that most detestible class Of men known
as spies and informers, and State wit
nesses, whs profit by the punishment
and disgrace OF their own confederates.
Such propositions involve gross insult
and should be met by dignihed silence
and rejection. No consideration OF pol
icy-no apprehension ofperil or damage
can or will swerve the honest and manly
from such course. To employ argu'
ment in justification OF this action would
imply the existence of doubt or hest
fancy, of itself an unworthy reproach or
eusnicion

INFLux OF GRRMENs.

During the year 1866 there were, a
Northern paper says, in round numbers,
just about as many immigrants into this
country at New York from Germany as
from England and Ireland together-i e.,
one hundred and six thousand Germans
and one hundred and four thousand Irish
and English while from all the rest Of
the world there we're less than fifty
thousand. There were sixty eight thou
sand Irish to one hundred and four thou
sand Germans; and these figures at
New York include about fve-sixths Of
the whole immigration into this country.
There never was such a tide Of immi-
grafton as this German flow Of families.
Many Of them are possessed Of property,
and not q small proportion have through
tickets to the Far West Almost all OIL
them are strongly Democratic, in the
European sense Of the word. Many o.
them 60 to Missouri, and their presence
there has been so far the controlling ele
ment that, but for their influence, th'
State would have gone with the rebels
German soldiers saved large sections o
that State at the outbreak Of the re
belliou, and in the most critical perio'
Of the war. The unsettled condition o
Europe, and especially the tyranny O
their rulers, have brought great nun
hers Of them here.

sheridan's Order .

II is stated that the New York Times
sharply criticises Sheridan's order that
the friends Of the late rebel Gen. John
ston should not give the body civil es.
cort to the tomb. Viewed in the light OF
policy, il was undoubtedly most unior-
tunale movement. No more certain
method could be taken to arouse the
slumbering and dying fires of hate in
Southern bosoms, than to offer indignity
to their dead. Ii has never been found
that the denial Of decent sepulture to the
remains of fallen enemy, has been the
means Of making the survivors friends:
1t has never been proven that a refusal
to allow the friends Of distinguished
enemy to follow his remains to the grave,
has been applauded by nations who were
uninterested as spectators, and we may
expect from this order, unnecessary and
cruel the result always flowing from acts
of that nature
How often do opposing forces do
honor to brave enemy who has fallen
in the deadly strife, by attending his OBJ
sequies 2 Until human nature is
changed, the heart that forgets in death
the injuries that the living inflicted
that forgives to the departed the blows
that would have been punished in the ac-
tive body, will be venerated and loved,
and military edicts will not prevent the

SPEAKING OUT.

The Washington Union closes an
article upon the present political situa-
ton as follows: This is no time to
mince words. We are on the eve of a
tremendous epoch. The Republic must
live, the Union must be preserved, the
Constitution must remain intact. If all
other means fail, there is always an ap-
peal to the God of Battles, and the
Last Resort is always open to free
an enlightened, and a brave people, to
maintain and preserve their Constitu-
tional rights.

In allusion to the officials of this State,
the Peoria Democrat says; We're the
people of that independent spirit which
animated the fathers of the revolution,
these law breakers would tremble before
their just indignation. With very little
change of epithets, the language of Holy
Writ could be applied to the people OF
this country: The prophets prophesy
falsely, the priests bear rule by their
means, and the people love to have it so !

A FIGHTING EDITOR.

Some time since, in a spirit of fun, the
Chattanooga Union advertised for a
fighting editor" Some fellow presented
himself for the position, and the Union,
still carrying on the joke, accepted his
services. The publisher of the Union
was surprised few days ago by being
sued for forty-fve dollars by his fight
ing editor" for services rendered. The
case was tried by some Dogberry of
Chattanooga, and the proprietor of the
Union compelled to pay six dollars to
his fighting coadjutor and defray the ex-
penses of the suit.

A Singular Discovery.

From the ST. Louis Republican,
Two men were engaged hauling out
drift wood on the Illinois shore, nearly
opposite the arsenal Some distance
from the bank of the river they observed
large trunk of tree, which, as 1t APP
peared sound, they determined TO gain
possession Of, if possible, and, after some
difficulty, they succeeded in bringing 1t
10 shore. On examining the large log,
they noticed one end was partly split
open, and that it appeared as If 1t had
been stuffed or filled up with moss or
leaves. or some substance Of that char
acter The curiosity Of the men was ex-
cited, and they went to work, and by IN
serting wedges in the crack, succeeded
in splitting the log open, when they
found that il was hollow on the inside
and that the cavity was partially filled

The complaint is made that more Off

States Government than either that Of
England or France. The French Gov
eminent offices at Paris employ 1856

London employ some hundreds more.
The United States Treasury Department
