The Roll Of Dishonor.

From the Chicago Republican CRad.l, May IS
Below is a list of traitors to the cause of
Justice, whose names should be held in ever
lasting adherence by the loyal people of the
United States, and to be transmitted to their
pOsterity as a heritage of seorn and detesta-
ton. Each of them is political Judas who
has shown himself unscrupulous and mon
strous enough to hand the fate of his coun-
try over to the most Ubiquitous influences.
Patriots, remember the roll of infamy when
you proclaim your verdict on impeachment
at the ballot-box:
Joseph S. Fowler, of Tennessee.
VIM. Pitt Fessender, of Maine.

John B. Henderson, of Missouri.

Suicide. e. Mabry, of this county,
committed suicide, on Wednesday morning,
by shooting himself through the head with
pistol, killing himself instantly. HIS
wife and some visitors being seated IN the
parlor as his residence; heard the report OF
a pistol, and going into his chamber found
him dead-shot through the head and ear
His motive for committing the act can only
be ascribed to an aggravated attack Of dys-
pepsia with it's ever attendant horror-ioW
spirits.

wise our citizens to keep sharp lookout and
capture the laWless miscreants.

MICRO SUFFRAGE DEFEATED Is
MISSOURI.

The St. Louis Republican, in the
following, announces the defeat Of the
constitutional amendment providing for
negro suffrage in that State:
The returns received indicate the abs
solute reputation of the leading Radio
cal issue-negro sufrage-by the people
of Missouri Despite the trickery by
which the form Of the ballot was mOdl-
fled 10 unmeaning words; despite the
reDetitions of McClurg's piece and the
force Of his examples; despite the thun-
ders Of Drake and the appeals of Strong.
Fox and the Democrat, the voters Of
Missouri declare in emphatic tones their
determination to never cOnfiGe the desti-
MES Of this State to Africans, and, in
making this decision, unmistakably in
dictate the falling power Of the charlatans
and tricksters who have manipulated the
party Cor personal ends. One more step
forward and Missouri, repudiating the
Acknowledgement Of white men, the
reign of party hate and intolerance, will
take her proper place as the foremost
State in the Mississippi Valley-great in
agricultural wealth, rich in mineral re-
sources, but greater and richer than ali,
in people Of liberal ideas and govern
ment created by and responsible to a

APOLITICALL LAW SUIT.
A Democratic Editor SHes the Regis
IrRFs for $4,000.

From the st, Louis Democrat, Nov. 6.
Stilson Hutchins, editor of the St. Louis
Times, fled in the Circuit Court, yester-
day, a petition, setting forth that he is Il
Gree white male, over the age of twenty
one years" a,citizen offree Missouri, en-
titled to vote and hold Office, etc. That
Andrew Brown, Aug. Sendel and F. W.
Ortiz, registrars, did, on the 8th day of
October, A D., 1868, refuse to register
him as a qualified voter, notwithstanding
the fact that he is free, white, and a
male, and a citizen of the State of Mis-
souri,. The reason assigned by the afore~
said Andrew Brown ETC.. for not regis
tering the aforementioned free white
male, was that the said Hutchins refused
to subscribe, take, swallow, gulp down
and bolt a certain oath called the oath of
LOYALTY; other wise the iron>clad some
times called the rebel bane. Why he
refushed to take down this oath, we are
not told, except that he says it is unlaw-
full and not legally part of the constitu-
ton, but he demands the trifing sum of
| $4,000 damages for the refusal of the
registrars to write him down a qualified
voter. Colonel Glover is the attorney in
the case, and when it comes up it will no
doubt be argued upon the constitutional
points. In the meantime Mr. Hutchin
continues to run the Times, and is get.
ting large circulation for it.

WOMAN-s SUFFRAGE IN NEW JER
kEK


At an early hour on the Cd OF Noyem~
Der, Mrs. Hannah Blackwell, a highly
esteemed elderly lady, long resident in
ROseyille, and Mrs Lucy Stone, her
daughter in-law, both of them property
holders in the county and taxpayers,
appeared at the polls in ROseville Park,
accompanied by Messrs. Bathgate and
Blackwell as witnesses, and offered their
votes. The judges Of election were di-
vided rs TO the prOpriety of receiving the
votes of the ladies, one eff them stating
that he was in favor Of doing So the two
Others Objecting on the ground Of their
illegality The ladies stated that they
had taken advice Of eminent lawyers, and
were satisfied that in New Jersey, women
were legally entitled to vote, from the
fact that the old constitution of the State
conferred suffrage upon "all inhabitants"
wOrthS2j0. l nder hatcOnstitutiOnwOmen
did Ill fact very generally vote unit,
in 1861, by an arbitrary act of the Legs
lature, women were excluded from the
polls The new constitution, adopted in
1914, was framed by a convention and
adopted by a constituency, from both Of
which women were uncOnstltuhOnaily
excluded, so that they have never been
allowed to vote upon the question Of their
own disfranchisement The article in
the present constitution on the right of
suffrage cOnfers it upon white male citi-
zens, but does not expressly limit it to
such. It is claimed that from the alb
sence cf any express limitation in the pre-
sent constitution, and from the compul-
sorry exclusion of the parties interested
from its adoption, the political rights OF
women under the old constitution still
remain. Mrs. Stone stated these points
to the Judges Of election with clearne5s
and precision After consultation the
votes of the ladies were refused. The
crowd surrounding the polls gathered
abou. the ball0t>bOx and listened 70 the
discussion with respectful attention; but
every one behaved with the pOliteness
which gentlemen always manifest in the
