and whether defeated or successful in
the present contest, it will still hold
strongly fortified ground Ex-Gov. Foote OF
Mississippi the Senatorial rival and profes-
sional assailant of Jefferson Davis, makes the
most remarkable of recent contributions to
this cause. He holds that universal suffrage,
containing the principle of WOmen's Rights, is
necessary to virtuous politics. MOnstrous
(" half notions of bygone age of barbarism," J"
writes this enlightened ex-Rebel, "yet sternly
81 and unanimously deny the right OF suffrage
and he proceeds TO argue that the women of
the land are, at least, as reasonably
and morally qualified to elect our Government
as those who now so often elevate to the
"highest places of civil rule the drunken, the
corrupt, the imbecile, and the prohigate" We
take this expression as a clear conquest OF
moral sentiment, creditabe to Woman's Rights
and TO Mr.. Foote. He has thus accepted the
situation in its fullest aspects, and VIII yet
have o vote if Universal Suffrage can help
him, or the enfranchised hand Of woman take
him out of his political quagmire.

rREASON IN CIVIL RAR.

The ". Y Times demurs to our late article
on this head, which Gt says@
Takes the bold ground that the conflict between the
Rebels and the Union was ,cd not rebellion; ana tat
the individuals engaged IN 10 cannot thereiore' po pun
shed as traitors"
The Times proceeds:
"This Is the ground which Mr. Thaddeus Stevens has
held from the beginning and 1t is now SAID tnag 0nei
Justce Chase also holds it The AttOrney-General
Is reported have said that the concession TO the Rebels
by the supreme Court Of begerent rights was m eect
rebels but must be regarded when subdned as prison
Of war 4 this be true 1t not only ends md al sga al P6e
Government on good many other points
The Times certainly puts us in very good
company-how accurately in all respects, we
do not say tBut Mr. Thaddeus Stevens
is pretty widely known as an eminent
lawyer as we'll as statesman-One accustomed
to speak his mind on important topics-and we
certainly have understood him to hold and
maintain substantially the true ground on the
general subject. Even his late COnfiscation
speech in Congress expressly discaimed and
reprobated the idea of subjecting the Confed-
crate chiefs to the legal penalties of treason.
But, since The Times has seen fit to mix In "
to this controversy, and to assert that there is
"not the slightest analogy between the two
"cascsn of our Revolution and the late strug-
gle, we will thank it TO quote Mr. Webster
dictum, and show ,chy it does notibear on the
case in hand. Here is what he says of the bat
tie of Bunker Hill:
"The battlo of Bunker Hill attended with the most
important effects beyond its immediate result as mill
tary engagement it created state OF open,
nIlic war There could no,c be Longer question of
proceeding against indriduas, guilty Of treason or re-
6eiion That fearful crisis was past The appeal now
Law 10 the sword the only question was whether the
sprt and the resources OF the people would hold out till
the object should be accomplished"

The rather Bourbon-like order qf Gen. Ord,
directing the blacks nOt to take part in poll
tics is equivalent to the advice given TO a
swimmer not to go near the water Gen. Ords
obligatory counsel is rightfully opposed
by a prominent loyalist of Mississippi,
the substance of whose views we give else
where. 1t is Gen. 0rd's plain duty to assist in
building up a loyal party in Missouri, and when
he uses the military arm of the Government
to overawe the blacks at the expense ol
their franchise, he shows that he has
unlearned the lesson of the war. The white
and black loyalists of Mississippi arc anxious
to make party, and Gen. Ord seems desirous
that there shall he white party, and none
other. If this be the case, he should by all
means be removed.

Womanhood suffrage is now progressive
cause beyond fear of cavil. 1t has won fair
field where once it was looked upon as an airy
nothing, and 1t has gained champions and con-
verts without lumber. The young State of
Kansas is ftly the vanguard. of this cause, and
the signs OF agitation therein hardly allow
doubt that the citizenship Of women will
be ere long thoroughly recognized in the
law of the State. Fourteen out of
twenty of the newspapers Of Kansas are in
favor of making woman a voter, and Gov.
Crawford, ex-Govs Robinson and Root, Judge
Schuyler, Gen. Richie, and Lieut.-GOv Green,
are the leaders of a spread Impartial
Suffrage League. which has among its orators
Mistresscs Stanton, Stone, and Gage. The vi

Philadelphia has built new hall in honor
of horticulture, and for the convenience of
music which she claims is the largest in the
United States. The boast is not idle, for the
Philadelphia establishment measures IS by 200
feet and covers $1,000 square feet whereas tile
largest of our other music halls that of Boston,
occupies but iO2O8 feet. Of the architectural
merits of Horticultural Hall we hear nothing,
and suppose that it will copy in full the utili-
tartan example of most other halls which do
grievance TO the senses, and be as blank and
unlovely as possible. We have not yet attained
the high art of building frst-class temples of
music, or the virtue of being willing to spend
money for them; but this will appear in time.
Our neighbor city may rival Boston by erect
ing grand organ in the new hall, and thus
give music general accommodation unequaled
by that of any other city in America.
