recommend them as sound attorneys and

Advantages OF Latin.

A very good member Of the General
Assembly of RhOad Island once moved
to translate all the Latin phrases in the
statue 50 that the common people could
understand them. The exquIsit folly
of such a measure wqA by no means OBJ
viOus to the grAs body of the Assembly.
It was quite as likely to pass as not. A
good solid argument against it would
probably have carried it through. The
late Mr.. Opdlke took the ground that il
was no advantage TO have The people un-
derstand the laws. They were not efraid
of anything which they understood. Il
was these Latin words that they were
afraid Of. "Mr. Speaker, there was q
man in South Kingstown about twenty
years ago, perfect nuisance, and no
body knew how TO get rid of hiR. One
day he was hOeing corn and he saw the
sheriff coming with paper. and be asked
what it was. Now if be had told him il
was writ what would be haVs cared
but he told him il was eapias al satis-
faciendam, and the man dropped his hoe
and ran, and has not been heard Of SINCE"
Nor has the proposition to translate the
Latin words IN the statutes.

women YOtlng in NeE JerseY.

During the debate Ia the Senate, few
days ago, on Cowan's amendment to
strike out the word "male" in the fran
chise bill for the District of Columbia
inquiry was made Of Frelinghuysen
whether women ever Yo'ed in New Jer-
sey. His reply admitted that they once
did so ''in local elections" But the fact
is that. for many years, women were re-
cOgniZed there as voters on preciesly
the same terms as men. Lucy Stone and
H. B. Blackwell, citizens of New Jersey
have made an investigation, the result OF
which is remarkable, and proves that pre-
vIously to l776 only men voted. but that
in l776, the original state CONSTITUTION
conferred the franchise on ''all inhabi-
tants' (men or women, white or black J
possessing the prescribed qualifications
of ESQ clear estate and Twelve months
residence, and this constitution remained
in forcssnlil 1914. In 1890 the Iegis-
lature. in an act regulating elections,
used the words ''he or she' in reference
to voters. In 1897, another act relative
TO elecuons repeatedly designates the vo
lers he or She" In The same year, 1897,
seventy FIVE women voted IN Elizabeth
town for the federal candidate. 10 1900
women generally voted through the slate
in the Presidential contest be tween JEFF.
ferson and Adams. In 1902 member
of the legislature from Hunterdou county
was actually elected, in a closely contes-
ted election, by the votes Of TWO or three
women Of color. In 1897, al q local elec-
,ion in Essex county for the location of
the county seat, men and women gener
ally participated, and were jointly i'm
plicated in very extensive frauds. La the
following winter of lS07.S, the leglsla'
ture. in violation OF the terms Of the con-
sututlon passed an act restricting suffrage
10 free, white. male, adult ciuzens, and
in reference 10 these virtually abolished
the properly qualifications OF zoo, thus
extending it to all white male tax payers,
while including all women and negroes.
10 1920, the same provisions were re-
pealed-aad renamed unchanged until
the adoption Of the present constitution
IN lS44.
i thus appears that women ana ne

one years. and tha; from 1907 until lS44

THE Louisville Democrat, in an ar
ticle on the business of that city,
makes the following sensible remarks
on the subject of advertising:
1t has long been a well ascertained
fact that those merchants, manufac-
turers and tradesmen of all descrip-
tons who advertise with liberality are
the most prosperous in business. Such
has been evidenced in our own city as
well as all others. The man who ex-
poses his wares prominently before
the public, through the medium of
the press, is certain to secure a large
portion of trade; while those who re-
frain, through motives of economy,
swim along the current lifeless and
inanimate. They emphatically save
at the spigot and lose at the bung
hole. The same is true of all persons
and classes who wish to communicate
with the busy, bustling world, and
promote their own interests. This is
the experience of all successful bust
ness men.

The Progress Of Reconstruction,

We published last week in full the
sensible letter of ex-Gov. Brown, of
Georgia, advising the acceptance of
the Congressional plan of Recon
struction by that State. The intelli-
gence which comes to us from Georgia
is that the letter is having very salu-
tary effect, and that strong party has
sprung up favoring the plan, and bids
fair to be the controlling party in the
State. Three of the prominent papers
the Atlanta Opinion, Savannah
Republican, and Macon Journal and
Messenger already taken posi-
ton with the Governor in urging
upon the people the acceptance of the
terms embraced in the new plan of
restoration. The Opinion utters a
magnificent truth when it says
The truth is, the people and the
press of this Southern J country have
been so long subjected to the dictum
of what is conceived to be the pop
ular sentiments or prejudice, or both,
that they fear to speak what they
think and feel. 1t was so during the
war, and is so yet. The time has now
come when men should speak out
boldly and fearlessly. The press,
particularly, ought ever to reserve
the privilege of speaking candidly.
1t may cost something to do this, but
it should be Done"
The Richmond Wing is also out
spoken in its advocacy of the i'm
mediate adoption of the terms of the
SHERMAN Amendment. The Jack
son (Miss.) Clarion, too, paper con-
Quoted by Mr.. BARKsDALE, formerly

pei the respect even of those who do
not coincide with him. "
These indications, even amid the

give occasionifor hope that the sober

effectual in clearing away the fgments
