Women voting i'm New Jersey.

During the debate in the Senate q few
days ago, on Cowan's amendment to strike
out the word "male" in the Franchise bill
for the District of Columbia, inquiry was
made of Mr.. Frelinghuysen whether women
ever voted in New Jersey. His reply adj
mitted that they once did so "in local elec-
tions." But the fact is that, for many years,
women were recognized there as voters on
precisely the same terms as men. Lucy
Stone and III. b. Blackwell, citizens of New
Jersey, have made an investigation, the re-
suit of which is remarkable, and proves that
previously to 1776 only men voted, but
that, in 1776, the original State Constitution
conferred the franchise on "dU inhabitants"
(men or women, white or black possessing
tie prescribed qualifications Of $50 clear
estate and twelve months residence, and
this Constitution remained in force until
1914. In 1890 the Legislature, in an act
regulating elections, used the words che or
she" in reference to voters. In 1897, an
other act relative to elections repeatedly
designates the voters as "he or she" In
the same year, 1897, rs women voted in
Elizabethtown for the Federal candidate.
In 1900 women generally voted through NJ
the State in the Presidential contest beiw cen
Jefferson and Adams. In 1902 member
of the Legislature from Hunterdon County
was actually elected, in a closely contested
election, by the votes of two or three wo-
men of color. In 1907, at local election
in Essex County tor the location of the
county scat, men and women generally par
ticipated, and were jointly implicated in
very extensive frauds. In the following
Winter of 1S07-S, the Legislature, in viola
ton of the terms of the Constitution, passed
an act restricting suffrage to free, white,
male, adult citizens, and in reference to
these virtually abolished the property quail
ication of $50, thus extending it to all
white male Taxpayers, while excluding all
women and negroes. In 1920, the same
provisions were repeated-and remained un-
changed until the adoption of the present
Constitution in 1914.
1t thus appears that women and negroes
possessed and exercised the right unqucs-
toned under the Constitution of New Jer-
sey from 1776 to 1907, 81 years, and that
from 1907 until 1874 they possessed the
right, but were arbitrarily deprived of its
exercise 81 years more This is. we believe,
fact unparalleled in the political history of
the world, and was probably due to the
strong Quaker influence in West Jersey,
then, as usual excrted in behalf of Equal
Rights. New Jersey enjoys, we believe,
the distinction of having been the first State
which conferred upon all its citizens equal
political privileges, without restriction of
sex or color.--Neio York Tribune.

FORTUNES IN THE SoUTH. An Arkansas
correspondent writes: Arkansas is not de-
sirable State at present, and twenty. five years
OF freedom will put q new face on the coun-
try, and investments of capital may now he

the old planters must sell, and others-disgust

Plantations of from 500 to 5000 acres are
offered at low fguers. One man below Pine
Bluff, late private soldier in the 18th Illi-

since the close of war. He came South with
out dollar, and now owns eleven hundred
acres of the finest Arkansas river bottom. He
has produced this year over a thousand bales
Of cotton. He says lie has not found the
slightest difficulty in procuring all the labor
he has needed. He has paid the freedmen
good wages, rewarded the fist class hands
with extra pay, paid promptly and fed well.

send every year to distant places for hands,
because they oppressed and defrauded their
laborers, who cannot, Of course, be induced
to remain with them the second year.

WHY PEOPLE co TO CHuRcH-The mo-
tives which induce different people to go to
church on Sunday, or any other day, are
very diverse, and in any particular case
rather difficult to determine. In the words
of a poetic correspondent, to go to spend an
hour of idle time, some to hear the new
organ, and some to criticise the preacher
Some go to show their bonnets, some to see
their friends, some to hirt "Some go to
gossip with their neighbors, and some as a
respite from their labors. Some go from an
inward sense of duty, and some from an
outward sense of beauty. Some go to church
because they're made to, and some go there
because they're fraid to [do otherwise, we
suppose. Some go to sing, some go to
sleep, some go to gaze, and some to weep
But of all this mixed and thronging crowd,
joining in the responses loud, how many of
them of Sabbath day, go there to hear, 10
heed and pray:" Echo answers-"how

First Ride ON a Railroad.

A story is told of an old lady who lived
near Rochester, who had never seen or tray-
elled on Il railroad. Wanting to 90 on a
visit to small town short distance from
the city, she thought she would try one of
the pesky things. So she went to the ticket
Office, carrying her reticue on one arm and
an old fashioned rocking chair on the other.
She bought her ticket, walked out on the
platform, put down her rocking chair, sat
down in it, took out her knitting and went
to work diligently. Steadily she rocked
and worked, trains coming in and leaving
as the car time came around. The old lady
made no attempt to get on the cars, but
kept knitting. .... ......-.--l
The day drew to close, and night came
on. The last train was about starting, when
the depot master went up and asked her if
she was going out.
Yes, Sir" replied the old lady. s
'lIadnt you better get aboard and secure
seat 2" said the depot master.
"ThanS you, sir, am very comfortable"
replied the elderly dame.
The train left. The master came round
again. MADAM, shall have to disturb
you it is late, the trains have all left, and
we must close the depot. Shall ! send you
to hotel 2"
SWELL" exclaimed the old lady, dropping
her knitting and holding up her hands,
"ain't the thing going to movea Here l
brought my chair from home SO as to have
a seat on which some pesky man couldn't
squeeze himself. I've set here all day wait
in for the thing to go, and here I've had
all my trouble for nothing. thought it
was long time moving. l declare that
these here railroads is the biggest nuisance
and hum bug as ever was !" and the old
lady, with bag on one arm and rocking
chair on the other, gave toss of her head
and marched off in high indignation.
She mistook the depot for the cars, aud
eXpected to travel in it.
