MR. STEVENS CONFIRMED AND
SIMMER SNUBBED.

PARAN STEVENS, proprietor of the fremont
and Revere Houses, Boston; Fifth Avenue
Hotel, New York, and Continental Hotel,
Philadelphia. was nominated to the Senate
by The President to be Commissioner to
the Paris Exposition and was referred to the
Committee on Foreign Affairs, of which
CHARLES SUMNER is chairman. That com
mittee reported against the confirmation.
The Senate yesterday disregarded the report
and confirmed Mr.. STEVENS. This is an
other snubbing of CHARLES SUMNER.

MIR. SANFORD REJECTED AND
SIMMER sNUBBED.

HENRY SHELTON SANFORD, who has been
our Minister Resident to the Government Of
Belgium, residing at Brussels, for several
years, was recently renominated to the pres
emit Senate, notwithstanding he was not con-
frmed by the Senate Of the Thirty-ninth
Congress. Yesterday he came from the
Committee Of Foreign Affairs-CHARLEs
SUMNER, chairman-with q report in his favor.
This was deemed sufficient, in the judgment
Of the Senate, to condemn SANFORD, and,
after lengthy debate, which exhibited
warmth Of feeling on the part Of Mr.. SUMNER,
in behalf Of his friend SANFORD, sufficient to
cause honest Senators TO suspect that there
was something rotten in Denmark" or the
next place to belgium, the Senate re-
jected SANFORD. Now, the fact is that Mr..
SANFORD is very clever gentleman; has
made good representative abroad; has
entertained like q prince" rather than
like an American-not TO say an American
Senator; is quite liberal in his gifts, some say
to Senators wives, but Of that we know
nothing, nor care, because o Senator's wifi
is as good q woman as any other mans wife
II she only behaves as well. Mr.. SANFORD
we presume, has lived abroad so long that b,
has forgotten many Of our republican anC
democratic ideas, and has naturally faller
into the ways Of European snobbery. Thii
we hear about him from the best authority
1t weighed heavily against his confirmation
in the Senate; but the greatest obstacle with
which Mr.. SANFORD had to contend with wal

Csnvention.
The two houses Of the State Legislature have
been ct work since the termination of the
recess on the Constitutional Convention bill,
and there appears prospect Of speedy re-
cancellation Of all differences and final pas
sage Of . good bill. The Senate have made
their bill accord with that Of the Assembly, 80
far as the election Of one hundred and twenty
eight delegates by Assembly districts is con-
cerned; but the Assembly voted In favor of
the additional thirty-two delegates at large,
equally divided between the two political par
ties, by vote Of seventy-six yeas to forty-six
nays, while the Senate rejected the same pro-
position by majority Of one vote. There is
little doubt that the bill will eventually be
passed with this provision embodied in II, in
accordance with the recommendation of the
Governor, and in conformity with public SEN
timent. 1t would be well to add another
amendment, providing for the election of dele
gates in all counties containing more than four

would enable the independent democrats, the
taxpayers and all the friends Of q good city gov

judiciary in New York and Kings counties, to
unite upon ticket composed of responsible

Under the separate Assembly district system in
this city we cannot avert the election Of some
undesirable candidates, and 1t would greatly
increase the chance Of securing . delegation
composed throughout of citizens Of character

The WOrktngwOmeu's Protective UmIou.
The proceedings Of this institution, now over
four years in existence, have elected facts in con
nection with the position Of the workingwomen
Of this city which probably have not been
thoroughly understood and certainly have not
been very earnestly considered. 1t Is notorious
that this poor and comparatively helpless class
Of women are frequently and cruelty imposed
upon in many cases by those who employ their
labor and make profit out Of 1t. The sewing
girl is more hardly worked and more poorly
paid than any class in tho community; but
when, in addition to wearisomc labor by day
and night she has to submit to bullying en-
ployers, hesrtless Indifference as to her wants,
and often TO palpable fraud, her lot becomes
indeed hard one. 1t is In the latter cases
especially that this excellent institution-the
Workingwomens Protective Union--comcs to
her aid. During last year one hundred and
thirty-one complaints of imposition and de-
frauding Of wages were laid before the
directors, and the sum Of $441 was re-
covered for the poor complainants. This
amount, although not very large, was, no
doubt, q substantial benefit to the recipients.
and perhaps helped to stave on dire poverty
from some Of them.
An organization Of this kind deserves to be
sustained by the good and charitable. 1t fs Of
little use for philanthropists or philosophers to
deplore the existence Of what is called the
social evil. The best way to limit Its opera
tions Is to enable women to earn an honest
livelihood by paying them remuneratively for
their labor. There Ia more Of this vice at-
tributable TO poverty and the absolute neces-
sity for food and raiment than 10 any natural
depravity In the sex.
