FEMALE So FFRAGE.

At a recent election in the town of Passaic
New Jersey, dozen women voted. 1t seems
that, by the charter of the place, all property
holders have right to vote for officers having
charge and control of certain public improve
ments. There does not seem to be any valid
objection to this system. If the principle be
admitted that the right to vote on questions
involving the regulation or disposal of pro-
perty should be exercised only by those who
own such property, the principle cannot be
limited in its application. The doctrine that
the property interests of the individual are
safer in the hands of the individual possess
ing such interests than in others, applies
as well to women as to men. The only ques-
ton is, whether women desire to exercise
this power of control over their own affairs.
If they really wish to have a voice in those
matters which concern their right to their
own property, it would be unjust to exclude
them.
This is the argument used in the Passaic
case; and it seems to have been conclusive.
1t is not founded on the ridiculous theory of
a natural right to put piece of paper Into a
ballet-box, but on the accepted principle that
every person has a right to be consulted in
regard to measures which affect his property.
At present the whole difficulty in the suffrage
question arises from the complicated nature
ofgovernmeDt, and the undue Intervention Of
government in a mass of affairs which,
properly, are beyond the domain Of the gov
ornamental function. 1t seems to be praeti-
cally absurd and dangerous to commit the de-
cision of these difficult questions to numbers
of extemporised citizens incapable of forming
any accurate or rational opinions; and likely
to imagine that the right to vote means the
right to live without work, and to rob the in
dustrious classes for the benefit of the idle and
thriftless If government were simply en-

agency for the prevention of crime, and the
protection of we'll defined rights, there would
be no tro uble in settling the qualifications OF
voters. But even under existing circum-
stances, it would appear that white women
possessed of property, and having thereby
right to demand protection for it, are much
more entitled to vote than the ignorant, PEN
niless freedmen who have just been metamor-
phosed into citizens in order that they may
aid in the enforcement of system OF meas
ures destructive to all public and personal
rights.

A MUsEMENTs.

TIE OPERA-Beneft of Mr.. Ddmiani.-To-
night this exquisite singer will appear as Genndro
in DoDizetti's beautiful creation, Lucretis Bor-
gia ;" which signifies that the house will hardly
contain the lovers of music and good singing, who
will rush to prove to Mr.. Damiani that they wish
to repay him for the pleasant moments he has
so often given them. Besides the natural attrsc
tiveness of the opera, the appearance OF Madame
Audibert as LlcretiG, will add no little interest to
the performance. BY the by, Madame Audibert
favored us with a call yesterday TO inform us that
she will take her benefit on Saturday. On this
occasion our remarkable cotralt0, at the general
request of her admirers, will appear as La
Belle Helene, in 0henbach's opera of that
name. Paris will be personsted by Mr.. Sequi1,
the excellent comedian who, has but recently
resigned the lyric profession for the dramatic.
ChdLcGs, the good Chalcas, can ind no better
interpreter than in Mr.. Chamounln, who has
returned from his tour with the comic opera com
pany. The other part, will be filed by Messrs.
Gilbert, Tholer, Gautier, Mile Legrand aud Anne
lie and, Marie Hinri. Mile Amelie Hnri, the
dqdsdEde Orestes although retired from the stage,
has kindly volunteered her services for tue occs
sion. The progress Of the subscription for the
next opera season is most hattering. ANY body
desiring information concerning the plan can learn
sl the details by applying at this office to Mr..
Paul Waterman. The IMP ortance of sus aiming
the opera in this city is so great that we cannot
refrain from repeating to our readers that they
should hasten to subscribe in order to allow the
management time to make the necessary engage
ments in Europe.

One of the impeachment articles accuses the
President of trying to bring Congress into

The New York Times says that the President
did not succeed. Very likely, but his failure
was owing to the fact that the effort, if he
made it, was entirely superfuous Congress

HoMIcIDR IN claiborne PAKIsH.-We learn
from a letter from Homer, received by gentle
man in this city, and dated the sth inst. that Will
liam R Meadows, the black member of the late
reconstruction convention, who, with Mr.. Jasper
Blackburn, represented the parish of Claiborne,
was killed at his residence in that parish on the
night of the 9th. He was shot three times, BY
whom was not known. He will be remembered
as the person who introduced resolution in the
convention, which was voted down, toexpel from
this State Mr.. Davis. who was then on visit 10

A special dispatch to the Picayune says that
Mr.. Fowler, of Tennessee, is now openly
committed against conviction, and that two
more votes are needed to make acquittal GER
tain. This means, of course, two more GER
tain votes. Thus far, Messrs. Fessenden,
Trumbull, Henderson, Grimes and Fowler
have pronounced for the President, and Mr..
Norton is Regarded as sure. The uncom-
mitted Senators are MessTs. Van Wrinkle,
Sprague, Ross, Wiley, Anthony and Freling-
huysen. 1t is possible that all of these will
vote against conviction. The detection OF
Mr. Edmunds on the tenth and eleventh arti-
Giles seems to put a quietus on the impeach-
ment project as far as those articles are con-
cerned, for it is stated that the managers
expected to carry them only in case of getting
the two votes of Howard and Wade, and this
estimate included Edmunds.

The Tribune read Mr.. Fessenden and other
senators out of the Republican party, in an
ticipation of their vote against impeachment.
It declares that their treason is worse than
that of Arnold; which means that to abandon
the Republican party is worse than to betray
ones country. why asks the Tribune,
"is the Republican party ineandescent with
zeal )" why has every Republican news
paper and every Republican convention
pronounced in favor of impeachment
Simply, we may remark, in answer, in order
that Wade may become acting President; that
a voracious pack of hungry radical carpet-bag-
gers may be provided with offices, and that
Grant may be elected President next Novem-
Der. Only this, and nothing more-or less.
The whole scheme is project TO gain some
party advantage. If this were not its design,
why should Republican senators be expelled
from the party for opposing it
