LOGIC.

The Legislature of last winter, contain
ed not one solitary woman-unless, in
deed, she was there disguished in the
legged garments some of them seem so
anxious to wear. And yet that Lsgisla-
tuFe passed stringent and effective Tenn
perance Law one that answers all prac-
tical purposes. New behold the Tenn
peranoe Logic herewith Female Suffrage
Is sought to be justified It is generally
said that the women are needed in the
Legislature to keep the Temperance Law
on the Statute Bookl The men have Vir-
tue enough to ,pass and put iu force q
good law; but not enough to back up
what they have done? That's Logic that
would astonish Whatsly. And yet is a
fair sample of the twaddls now rehesrsed
from the Nemsha TO Neosho in support
OF the Last Folly.

HON. I. s. KALLOOH.

Since this gentleman commenced his
fight in opposition to TIE female suffrage
movement, tie supporters of the meas
ure have been hurting slime at him at a
flu rious rate. Now, we do not suppose
Mr.. Kalloch is the purest man in the
world, nor do We believe he ia half so
bad as the female suffragsites try to make
him. We do not believe be has used IAN
guage il the controversy that warrants
the black guardism now being hesped upon
his head. 1t has not been over year
since we heard at least few who are now
besmearing him with epitLets, singing
pesns of praise to his craftsmanship, high
moral character, etc. The difficulty this
gentleman bad in Boston some years ago,
which grew out of his pulpit denuncia
tions of the proslavery party during the
bitter days of the Kansas struggle, is a
fruitful theme for both the male and fs-
male advocates of suffrage.
Speaking of these charges in the last
Ottawa Journal, he's goes fOr' his traduc-
ers as follows:
They have given US an opportunity of
self defense for which We have long
waited. and of which We propose to avail
ourselves. They supposed they could
scare US from the track by their bowls.
They have barked up the wrong tree.
We make no claims to perfection. We
admit, because everybody knows, that,
some twelve years ago, we were accused
of immortality. The accusation was not
proved. The charge was not sustained.
1t was made out of political malice. Our
prominence in the discussion of the Kan
sas question induced it, and this we can
prove. But if We were fit after that ac-
cusation to continue pastor of the same
church of which we we're accused for a
period of four years, never losing the
confidence of msmber Of it, and retiring
at last with a unanimous endorsement of
moral character aud worth; il we were
fit subsequently to be for three years pas
tor of the Laight Street Church in the
city Of New York; if we were fit to come
to Kansas under the appointment and en-
! dorse ment of the American Baptist Home
Mission Society; and if We have been fit
for the past four years to take prominent
part in the public aud political concerns
of this Slate, unobjected TO on account of
character, then we submit that we are fit

cination of female suffragel'

its warfare upon Female Suffrage, and the
Times has practically done the same thing.
The Hiawatha Sentinel is an earnest ad-

paper started in Miami county; the Kan

that side; the opposition pre- general

THE INEVITABLE.


The result of the late elections in haine'
California, Ohio and Pennsylvania will
make it incumbent on the Republican
party to consult svsilability in the selec-
ton of candidate for the Presidency, next
rear. The Neck or-NOthings aud the
Incompetents have had their sway to the
material Gripping Of the party BY engraft~
ing upon it all manner of "side issues"
whereby thousands were rApelled from the
party. and the flag of q thousand victories
wss trailed in the dust.
The men who saved the country on the
field of battle, are now. at the polls. its
controlling power. AS at Gettysburg,
Prairie Grove, and all the strifes of our
civil war. "as go the soldiers, so goes the
country" No civilian can concentrate
the colder vote in his favor. Among all
our military men there is one who stands
pre-eminent-the man who led our armies
to Victory, and saved country which
tie Dest uctionists and IncomPetents had
well nigh destroyed. That man is U. S.
GRANT Whatever our own preferences
may have been. heretofore. we feel that
row is the time TO throw them aside, and
unite upon our strongest man in order ic
make certain of victory for Republican
principles, which is necessary to save Tx
country from tie perils that threaten it OF
every hani.
While Grant is not OUT FIRST preference
we cheefully couoede his ability, frmues
and patriotism, and believe that the Gov
erument, under his administration, woul'
acqaire an iuvinclbiIity in the eyes o
Rebels, which would hasten Peace on th
! basis of 2 true Reconstruction.

We live in anomalous times for never
yet until the present moment, has the his.
tory OF our country been blurred with the
attempt of any political party to maintain
itself in power, first by proposing to set
aside the federal constitution, and next to
reconstruct the Supreme Court until .
partizan majority on its bench may be Sc
cured to sustain revolutionary policy
Never before in our country's history
would any particular party, however
strong, have had the audacity to proclaim
continents and purposes so aagrantly
reasonable in moral sense, if not in
legal one. And now that we are brought
face to face with the evil-now that we
may contemplate it in all its alarming pro-
rnrtions-why will the American people
regard the oansvr with such apathv p
Why will they, after so nobly wasung ,.a,s
a million of lives and three thousand mil
hons IN treasure to preserve our glorious
Union, now supinely view what is obvious-
ly fraught with so much mischief to the
welfare if not the life of the republic p
Why will they look on these bold move-
ments on the part of reckless Instructions
lists with stolid indifference? Have they
such sublime faith in the national integ-
rity? Or have they grown needless, at
last, of what they sacrificed so much to re-
tain? We cannot understand it. The
popular inertia, under such stirring cir
cumstances, passes our comprehension.-
