WHAT CONSISTENCY!

~
Only two short years ago the Demo-
cratic papers of our Country took issue
against the proposed plan of allowing
colored men the right of suffrage. Every
ching was said that could be said, every
thing was done that could be done to
defeat the plans of the Radicals. The
negro was called brute, a monkey; fun
was made of his thick lips and kinky hair,
the most horrible crimes in the calendar
Of human sin were related under glaring
headings as having been perpetrated by
him. No trick which could be resorted
to was left untried to deprive an injured
and down-trodden man Of his rights.
But everything failed. The right tri-
umphed, and wicked men were compell-
ed to acknowledge that they were defeat
ed. One would think. that under such
circumstances, they would stand back
and permit the conqueror to enjoy his
advantage, but 40, with the most un
blushing effrontery they step up and say
the negro has, through wonderful train
of events, acquired the right to vote, and
that vote should be, cast in favor Of De
mocracy. A democratic paper before US
says :4"Whether we like it or not, it is
too evident to be disputed, that univer-
sal suffrage is hereafter to prevail in this
country. There is no use In
trying to resist this tendency or attempt
ing to prevent this RESULT is sure to
come 1t then proceeds to urge upon
its party the importance of securing this
vote, and says: 'They (the Democrats)
have now an opportunity to show that
they are in favor of the policy of elevation
and not Of degradation, and they ought
to make the most Of it." Yes, they
favor the policy of elevating the worn
out, rebel-copperhead democracy and it
makes no kind of difference to them
where the votes come from if they can
accomplish the desired result Men who
two years ago, swore by the Almighty
that they would never cast another vote
if the negro was permitted that right, are
now laboring with might and main, to
have that same negro vote as they do.
Oh, wonderful democracy! Why, just
look at the quotations above: The
writer says in one breath whether we
like it or not" and in the next says ''they
are in favor Of the policy of elevation
and not degradation. As much as to
say I'VE have labored in vain to prevent
this consummation, for we hate the mig
gers, but now that the radicals have
given him the power, We must make q
virtue of necessity and humble ourselves
before the once degraded man, for thus
we may hope to be restored to the rule oi
the nation.
What foels Do you think the negro
cannot see an inch before his nose? Dc
you suppose he cannot remember the
democratic lash that tortured him only a
few years since? Trust him for that
The negro is not so big a fool as he is
who thinks he can get his vote by little
hattery. Go on with your dying old Wo-
man!

Whether women ought to practice
medicine, or law, or preach the gospel,
or vote, or hold office is question it is
not necessary now to discuss. But wheth
er they ought to have an equal chance to
compete with the opposite sex in these or
any one of the other common pursuits of
life, is question the arguments upon
which are all on one side. 1t is certain
that women do make worthy Office hold
ers, of which there are examples in 9th
er States. That they do make successful
doctors and journalists has been fully de-
monstrated. IF they can be successful
in these pursuits why not in others? 1t is
but fair to let them try the experiment,
and it is as unjust as it is ungallant to
deny them that privilege Experience
already demonstrates what the result
would be, and gives ample proof that
with anything like a reasonable chance
our noble American women will soon rise
to social position where they will have
better things to busy themselves with
aside from the paltry frivolities Of fash
ion, and where they cannot be ground to
dependence or starved into infamy.-At

OUR ARTIC POSSESSIONS.

The Russian treaty has been ratified
by the Senate. Our possessions now lit
orally extend from the Gulf Of Mexico to
the Polar Sea, incldding all the varieties
of climate from the tropics to the Artic
circle. Reliable intelligence concerning
our new acquisition from Russia is al
ready very much in request, and will be
read with interest. Prof. Baird, of the
Smithsonian Institute, who has been in
the Russian possessions between one and
two years, reports the following summary
of information as to its climate and re-
sources:
'"The climate and temperature of the
coast from Prince of " ales' Island to the
entrance of Behring Straits, during the
winter months is about the same as at
the City of Washington. There is little
snow and much rain. During the sum-
mcr months heavy fogs prevail
| It0aber-The whole country, we'll up
| the northern coast, is heavily timbered-
chiefly hard pine forests-the small trees
| extending down to the very shores.
| Islands, also, are heavily timbered with
| pine forests and dense underground.
| Others Of them are destitute of timber,
but covered with grass Of luxuriant
| growth
The .Soiz-On the west coast the soil
produces excellent barley, and roots such
as radishes aud turnips, and esculents
such as lettuce cabbage, &c.
| "-1nibsols-Furred animals, such as
sea otter, river otter, sable, fuyTed seal,
mink; black, silver, and red foxes, are
| found in great numbers; red Heer on the
south, and reindeer ON the north.

Goldfish abound in eXnasstless numbers.

coast l&nge Of mountains. The geogra-
! phical developments are the same on the
westesn slopes. Native copper has been

! Rev. Horace Bushman, of Hartford,

tant cod fishery on the southwest coast,
while the harbors are numerous and val
liable. As to some of the reasons which
make the acquisition desirable, he says
''What is more important than all, it

on toward the northwest, and finding the
climate soften as We near the coast, we
strike one or two rivers, certainly one,
that cuts the Rocky Mountain range down
to.its base, and opens gate to let US
through, and then DETECTING to the
southwest we strike the coast south of
the great promontory of Alaska; or, if
that is impossible, we go down to the
slope of the great River Kwiehpak, navi-
gable itself for thousand miles, and en-
ter one Of the bays south of Behring's
Straits. The advantages of this route.
whether we strike the coast north of
Point Alaska Or south oft, are, first
that we encounter no mountain passes
second, that we have midland supplies of

and, fourth, that having line which is
very nearly coincident with the great cir

found. Ii it should turn out, as it ap-
pears quite probable, that we can reach
the coast at the southernmost point OF the
territory in question, our line of road will
be a great deal shorter than any other,
and will come to its terminus in about
the same latitude as Glasgow, and hay
ing about the same climate.

The reason why so many marriages
occur after great war, is that bachelors

Marriage ola Divorced Husband to his
HOuSekeepeF.
[Ircn, the New ALBANY Ledger, April 1l.l


We yesterday announced the marriage
of one DIR. Wight to Miss Chamberlain.
At the last fall term Of the Floyd Circuit
Court, this man Wight made application
for divorce from his wife, the principal
witness against the wife being the woman
Chamberlain. Judge Bicknell heard the
evidence and refused to grant the divorce
administering to the man Wight a severe
and merited reprimand for his proceed
ings in the case.
Wight, however, determined to marry
his swift witness Chamberlain, again
sought divorce in Huntington County,
where he obtained it, the court hearing
by the woman Chamberlain. Having his
divorce in his pocket, Wight and the
Chamberlain were married yesterday.
Wight's wife is a hopeless invalid: at
least she was SO much an invalid as to no
longer be dble to satisfy the desires Of
her husband. The other woman probab-
" filed the bill much better. Wight
married his first wife when she was young
beautiful, and in good health She is yet
possessed of good looks, Notwithstanding
the affections which have lowered over
her. She is lady of rare accomplish

puSed wealthy at the time of her mar
rage. But after serving Wight for thir-
teen years she was put away by divorce,
because she was an invalid.
At the wedding yesterday, this divorc-
ed wife stood beside the woman that was
to usurp her place-stood there like a
living corpse-like a smitten, withered
hower-as bridesmaid bridesmaid of
the witness against Ter in the suit for di-
vorce; the only witness. If she stood
there voluntarily, we have in her an ex-
ample of woman's devotion such as we
never before heard Of If she stood there
through compulsion. the curse and blight
of the Almighty will follow the husband
and his new made wife formerly his di-
vorced wife s nurse J, to avenge the wrongs
of the wretched woman.
Wight and his wife and his divorced
wife left the city in company together
yesterday. IF the husband and the wife
nave any feelings Of humanity left, this
injured woman's pale face viii haunt
them like spectre wherever they may
travel;

A Speck OF Rebellion in Caldwell COun-
ty. Texas.

The San Antonio Texas Daily En-
press, Of the I'd instant, gives the follow
ing account of an affair which has just
occurred in Caldwell county, Texas to
which small garrison Of United States
troops had recently been sent, at the urg
ent request of the Union portion Of Its
inhabitants:
Saturday last, it having previously
been reported to Lieut.. Plumner that a
gang Of halfdozen desperadoes were
organized with the avowed purpose OF
taking the life of certain Union men of
that section, Lieut. Peterson started with
about fifteen men, to arrest the gang, who
were reported to be at the house OF a
Mr.. Burnes, on York creek. As the
soldiers approached the house, they were
fired upon by the inmates, and one man,
guidef Auiherson,-o of San Antonio shot
through the body. supposed inoftaiiy ana
another-a soldier-severely wounded.
The fire was returned, old man Burnes
killed, and one Of his sons shot through
the body. The affair was regular en-
gagement, the troops having to light Tor
possession Of the house-the rut1ians re-
treating only when whipped. The house
was found to be regularly arranged tor
siege, loop holes, &c.
ssI'he gang which Lieut.. Paterson dis
persed were avowedly organized for the
purpose of putting down Union men,
They had only day or two previous way
laid Lieut. Lilly, and leveled their guns
upon him to kin him, when others rode up
and the Burnes left. Verify, an excel
lent class of persons, whom our Governor
requests to get up demonstrations refus-
ing charges contained in the appeals OF
Union men.
