Politics in Petticoats.

Female suffrage is about to cease to
he a purely theoretical question and to
become an actual experiment. Wiscon-
sin has earned the honor, if honor it be,
of inaugusating the innovation. A res
olution to amend the State Const'tu-
ton for that purpose has passed both
houses of the Legislature, and needs but
the popular approval to become law.
The proposition must be submitted. to
a vote of the people, but its ratification
is accepted as foregone conclusion
Al the Presidential election next year,
therefore, we shall probably witness
The spectacle of fifty or sixty thousand
hedgeling voters in CATERS, garters and
chignons, tumbling to the polls in that
progressive State, to participate in the

well.known among our Catholic citi-
tens, died on the 10th inst. His name
has long been prominently connected
with the history Of Catholicism in this
country. His earnest and activs labor'
in his holy calling have gained him a
widespread reputation for ability and
zeal, and his efforts are universally ad-
mitred to have contributed greatly to
the progress aud upbuilding, of the
Church with whose interests he was
identified. In this city, as at his home,
he had hosts of sincere friends and
ardent admirers, all lsof whom will b<

A SIGHT TO BEHoLD.-Last Wednes-
day night, 81 o'clock, negro girl, liv-
ing near the bridge at the foot of New
Street, created quite an excitement. 1t
seems that her mother had stripped her
to her shift, for the purpose of correc-
ton, for some bad conduct. The girl
broke loose. her sister after her; up
street they came at railroad speed, the
fugative yelling "murder"-the crowd
shouting and yelling and her sister tear
ing the remains of her clothing off. In
this condition she broke into tailor's
shop on Main street, her sister at her
heels. Here was sight to behold. The
sister using her foot freely; the excited
crowd and sstonished occupants of. the
shop is described by witnesses rs rich in
the extreme! Deputy Sergeant Kurtz
interfered and took the girl home, to
catch "hail Columbia" from her indig-
nant mother. We hope this outrage,
this violation Of the military bill will
be attended to by the Radicals.-StaHn-

ERRAT1C yox PoPUu.-The enthusi-
asm shown toward the Emperor Of Aus
tria, in his passage through Hungary,
is singular phenomenon of human ma
ture. He has been cursed as the OPP
pressor of that ancient kingdom, and
the name of Hapsburg has been sup.
posed to be o stencil in the nostrils OF
the Magyars-whom we, simple Repub-
licans that we are, sympathized
with in their aspirations after lib
erty"-yet, no sooner does the
light of his imperial counte-
nance beam on them, when, To-!
all sense of grievance and tyranny is
forgotten, and the air is rent with
"Efjens" for the descendant of Maria
Theresa. The same kind of thing will
occur in Ireland if Queen Victoria were
to visit that country, even though it
should be in the very heat of the Fe-
nian excitement. The waves of popu-
lar feeling are mighty uncertain; but,
no matter how stormy they may be,
they generally subside under the in
fuence Of liberal expenditure of oil
or soft soap, or fat CANNON, nicely fried
down.

THE Coal BURNING ENGINEs.-.The
first meeting of special committee
appointed to hear and investigate COM
plants against the coal burning en-
gines of the Morris and Essex Road has
been held. A number of citizens resid-
ing along the line of the road entered
formal complaint, after which the COM
pany submitted plans which they have
adopted to prevent the escape of Goals
of fire or sparks liable to ignite shingles,
&C., in future. Alterations are TO be
made in furnace fues and those of the
smoke stacks, which will prevent acci-
dents by fire in future. A master me-
chanic was present who explained the
plan thoroughly to the committee, who
then determined to take no further ac-
tion in the matter at present, being
satisfied that the plan to be adopted by
the company will render all further ac-
tion on their part unnecessary.

what Loyalty Mean. in Tennessee.

what Loyalty Means i'm Tennessee
A SQUAD of about fifteen Radicals met
Gin hollow tree near Fayetteville,
Lincoln county, Tennessee, to nominate
a candidate for the Legislature. Among
other proceedings, says the Lincoln
county Neus, the meeting; recommend
ed james Mullins for Congress, and in
structed their delegates to vote for his
nomination in the Shelbyville Conven-
tion. The claims of our "Phat Phriend"
Tom Roane and other aspirants were
spurned by the meeting with contempt.
1t was objected to Mullins that he once
made speech to raise a Confederate
"war company" ''Pshaw~ says Nicks,
(the 'brains" of the Radical party in
Lincoln county,) that Oughtn't to
weigh agin Mullins, for didn't l raise
and drill Confederate war company
in 1861, and reckon nobody will dis
pute my loyalty, my qualification to
hold office, or my willingness to take the
iron-cIadest oath they can make" After
these sage, truthful and eloquent re-
marks, all opposition to the resolutions
instructing their delegates to vote for
the nomination of Mullins subsidized,
simmered down. and incOntinently died
out.
A motion was made by some in the
meeting to admit colored delegates to the
convention, but was opposed by all ex.
cept Bloom, who thought the time had
evidently come when the black man
should be "tinked shust 80 mooch OF ash
mein yater's sohn."

Radical rr..er,p.i.n Of working


A thousand men are walking the
streets of Portland, Connecticut, asking
for employment, who we're discharged
by Radical employers for daring to vote
the Democratic ticket at the late elec-
tion in that State. The Hartford Times
thus speaks of the effort made by the
Radical party to control the working
men, and its effects:
In Portland the most shameful coer-
cion Of workingmen has for years been
practised by the Republican employers.
Men were told by open proclamation
that they would lose their situations il
they dared to vote the Democratic tick
ct. That shameful course gave the
town last year to the Radicals, but they
met some difficulty in repeating the
programme this year, for the working,
men organized q Protective League,
and announced their purpose to vote.
Most of them did vote; and they carried
the town, gaining 60 or 20 votes.
> For this assertion of their rights as
freemen, the quarrymen were notified
by the quarry owners that their services
will not be required for the year to come.
But this prescription proved too bad
dose even for the Republicans working
men, on whom the quarry owners re-
lied to continue work. These men, on
learning of the shameful treatpent to
which their fellow workmen had been
subjected, acted like men. They threw
down their picks and drills, and told
the owners that they would no longer
work.
We have chronicled the fact that the
Republican managers of the factories in
Rockville have discharged fifty of their
employees because they voted the Demo-
cratic ticket. They put it on the ground
that they were members of the Rock
vile Workingmen's League; and say
they will turn away every operative IN
the various mills who belong to that
league. They have at the same time
added an hour day to the hours of Ia
bor-making twelve hours; and cut
down their wages ten per cent. This
infamous prescription of men who diner
with them in politics, shows how insin-
cere the Republicans were in claiming,
before the election, to be the friends
and champions of the workingmen. 1t
does not COW down the workingmen so
much as those New England slave
drivers expected it would; for the names
of fifty new members were enrolled on
the league the very night following the
day of this prescription. Many OF the
discharged men have dependent fami-
lies and need assistance.

Protection for Children.

The Massachusetts Senate has passed
= bill providing that no child under
ten years Of age shall he employed in
any manufacturing or mechanical es-
tablishmsnt, and that no child between
the ages of ten and fourteen shall be so
employed unless he has attended school
six months during the year next pre-
cedng such employment, and shall
have lived within the Commonwealth
the preceding six months; that no child
under fifteen shall be employed more
than sixty hours week; that persons
offending, either owners, agents, super
inteudents or parents, shall forfeit for
each oifense $40.
This legislation became necessary In
consequence Of the inhuman working OF
children by the pious philanthroplsts
of Massachusetts,, whose sympathy for
. negroes at the South knows no bounds.

Remnp tic Incident.

A singular and rather romantic Incl
dent was related to us yesterday. A
Young lady living in Corydon, who had
hy life of dissi patton and prostitution
lost the respect of the decent portion OF
that community, and who it was also
believed had given birth to negro
child, after finding herself an outcast
and an abandoned woman, resolved to
leave the place where she was stunned
and despised, and lead in the future
life of rectitude and of virtue. She
removed to Ohio. For a long time
nothing was heard from her. But
finally, an Ohio paper was re-
ceived in Corydon, announcing the
marriage of this young lady to the Hon.
Mr.. The paper complimented the
happy bridegroom upon his good for,
tune in securing such an accomplished
and also handsome wife as Miss -.
For while this marriage was the sub
iect of much gossip in Harrison county.
In few months, however, it ceased TO
excite any interest, and would have
been forgotten entirely, had it not been
for visit of the Hon. Mr.. and Mrs.
- to Corydon. Husband and wife
took the stage for Corydon at New Al
bany, and seemed to enjoy themselves
very much in each others society
during the ride. At Corydon the stage
stopped at the hotel, and they got out the
husband requesting nice room. The
landlord, who recognized in the wife
the abandoned woman of Corydon in
other DAYS, refused to give them q room.
Husband demanded an explanation and
the blunt old landlord gave il to him by
relating history Of his wife's carser in
Corydon. After this the husband was not
anxious for room, but took the next
conveyance out Of Corydon, leaving
that Village and his wife behind. Since
then he has not been heard from in CO.
.rydou. The wife, finding herself aban-
doned by her husband, again gave way
TO the tempter, and is now heart-bro-
ken, degraded woman.
