A SCRAP OF TRUE HIsToRY-The Wash
ington National InteIkgepcer says truly it was
not Jefferson Davis that starved Union pris-
ouers, but the Government of Abraham Lin
coin. Davis did the best he could for them in
the exhausted condition of his country, and
warned their Government over and over again
they were suffering and it could not be helped.
He pleaded for an exchange man FOR man, and
then for an exchange of the SICK which he
eTen offered to send home without any return
pr Southern prisoners, but all appeals fell life
iess upon the cold ears of the heartless Govern
rnent. 1t refused to come to the relief of its
own suffering and dying soldiers, and preferred
they should remain in prison and help to eat
out the substance of the South. These are
facts, unanswerable, damning facts, and they
will rise up in judgment against the revilers OF
the South sooner or later.

The following is an extract from speech
recently delivered, on Woman's Suffrage, al

Francis Train:

loud cheers and some dissent.l
Woman should vote. Why should the plan
tation boor--the unlettered, ignorant African,
whose hair grows up and back into his head
ike the banyan tree-whOse leg is set In the
middle of his foot laughter who has nine
cubic inches less of brain in his thick skull
Fhisses7; who has only one hundred and fifty
pores to the square inch of cuticle, which ac-
counts tor us being able to smell him for half
mile laughter and hisses1; why should this
half savage of the backWOods plantations make
laws for Anna Dickinson or Harriet Beecher

Senators, or mine4 Applause.

Women will vote, every time, for that plat
form. Again, in our day, the moment man
can borrow enough money to settle it on his
wife, he goes in for the Bankrupt Law; hence
the woman needs votes to protect the property
that belongs to her husbands creditors Zap

ried to Miss Kyle, at the Union school house,
most of the neighbors being invited to be pre-
sent. In the evening while the newly married
pair were quietly spending the hours at the
residence of the brides father, crowd Of
about twenty young men arrived at the house,
called for Mr. Mather, and when he appeared
outside of tho house, captured him and forci-
bly, carried him off toward his own house,
about four miles distant. He begged to be let
alone and told them if a treat was what they
wanted, they would find a keg of lager at his
house, which they would be welcome to take.
They replied. that would not do-he must go
along He was carried about two miles, and
then promising to walk, was permitted to do so.
The party arrived at his house, his lager was
rolled out and tapped, and then commenced
an orgie which lasted till near daylight, when
Mather was permitted to go. The object of
the party was probably to have big sport at the
expense Of the newly made Benedict; but the
proceeding is better characterized by calling
it an outrage.
