Female Suffrage.

The question of female suffrage, which
has been agitating several of our States for
some time, was brought up in the British
House of Commons by John Stuart Mill,
on May Goth, in connection with the Re
form Bill. Mr.. Mill moved his previously
announced amendment providing for fe-
male suffrage, and it was debated at length.
In the discussion, after Mr.. Mill made his
speech supporting the amendment, it was
opposed by Mr.. Karslake, who urged that
it would lead to the enfranchisement of
married women !; by Mr.. Laing, who point
ed out that it must be followed by the adj
mission of women to the House OF Com
mons; by Mr.. Onslow and Lord Galway,
who pressed Mr.. Mill to withdraw it, as it
placed many admirers of the fair sex in a
false position. Mr.. Fawcett, Mr. Denman
and Sir G. Bowyer supported the amend
ment, which, on a division, was rejected
by vote of one hundred and ninety-six to
seventy-three, not one-half of the House

the Legislature a clear insight into the
wants of that institution, and the means
necessary to place it again upon firm

We were not surprised at the position as
sumed by some of the papers of the State

desiring an interference on the part of
General SIcKLEs to prevent the reassem-
bling of that body this summer, either by
direct order or by means of petition di-
rected to the Military Commander by the
members themselves. If there was no work
for the Legislature to do, and although the
purposes for which the session was appoint
ed were already provided for, we should
dislike very much to see the ordinary civil
administration interfered with by the mill
tary, and especially to have the Legislature
of the State, without cause, dissolved by
military edict We have seen the civil au-
thority too frequently subordinated to mil
itary power-one by one our laws have

Remarkable Prediction,

One OF our contemporaries rakeS UP the
following from the dusty closet of the past
which is remarkable prediction, and one
as truly in danger OF being verified, history
furnishes no parallel. The Raleigh Stan
dard of the Goth of April, 1850, contained
the following editorial headed Coffee, Cot
ton and Constitution, in which is quoted
this paragraph:
The New Orleans Crescent, speaking O.
the three Southern institutions, says:
eft is worthy paragraph to reannounce
the fact that three very important Southern
Institutions were simultaneously Inaugural
TED, two hundred and thirty eight years
ago-if Bancroft, the historian, be authori
ty on the subject In the years 1920 90
slaves not cotton were first introduced into
the colony of Virginia; in 1921 the frs
written colonial Constitution was ordained
and established in Virginia.
The Mr.. Holden of that date then says:
1t is, indeed, Il remarkable coincidence
that the establishment of these three "in
situations slavery the cotton trade, anC
constitutional Statute-the very basis o.
the national prosperity Of the South, should
have such chronological identity. And we
predict that as they were born together sc
will they die, if die they ever do. The
slave labor institution will go. as it came, {
few months in advance, and the crash Of
State Constitutions, of laws and statutes
will follow quickly, hand i'll hand with the
downfall of cotton and other agricultural
and commercial interests, Introducing the
nation to an era of anarchy, OF individual
social and political distresses The fact O.
mutual dependence, however, but increases
the stability Of the whole, and though i
would render their destruction more dis
astrous totality, it at the same time re
moves all danger of such occurrence.

There is an effort on foot in Norfolk to
establish steam communication between
that city and Tarboro'. The entire capital
required is $4,000, of which $40, 600 has
already been subscribed. 1t is desired to
raise the full amount to have the line in
readiness for the next fall trade, Ivy which
means it is expected that at least %, O0O
bales of cotton, which now finds its way to
other markets, will be brought to Norfolk.
There is much cotton produced along
the banks of the Tar in the counties of
Edgeeombe, Pitt and Beaufort, and the
successful establishment of this line will be
Of great benefit to the planters in that re-
gion. We dislike to see the produce OF
North Carolina going to enrich the people

while our own citizens waste time and op-
portunities in idle repinings, this result il

A curious case has just been tried in the
New Orleans courts. The children of a
blind mendicant having been enticed away
by some other professional beggars, the ia
ther brought suit. One of the witnesses
testified that nine out of ten who are led
about as blind have good, sound eyes. The
plan to make blind beggars is this: The
imposter secures piece of blue stone,
which, when dissolved in water, will make
fifteen men blind for four days. The lids
of the eyes are then batoed with the liquid
which acts as an astringent, and the beg
gar cannot see until the effect wears Off
The lids are tightly closed, and if they are
forced open there is a temporary film over
the pupil which, would deceive any but the
most skillful occulist. The judge senten-
ced the men who enticed away the boy and
the mother of the boy to six months in the
work house in default of 81 ZOO bond for
good behavior. It is interesting to know
that these 81, 900 bonds were given on the
spot One of the defendants had 1000
on his person and a certificate of deposit
for 1900 more.
