Slurs OH Women.


Slurs on Women.
At a recent dinner in this
city, at which no ladies were
present, a man, in responding
to the toast on "women," dwelt
almost solely on the frailty OF
the sex, claiming that the best
among them we're little better
than the worst, the chief diff
ference being in the surround.
ings.
At the conclusion Of the
speech a gentleman present
rose to: his feet, and said: 81
trust the gentleman, in the ap-
plication of his remarks, refer
red to his own. mother and sis.
ters, and not to ours" ...
The effect of this most just
and timely rebuke was over
whelming, the maligner of wo-
men was covered with confu-
sion and shame. ,..-.
This incident serves to an
excellent purpose in prefacing
a few words which we bave
tor a long time had in our
mind to say.
Of all the evils prevalent
among young men, we know Of
none more blighting in its
moral effects than the tendency
to speak slightingly Of the vir-
tue of women. 9nl 10 a'''
Nor is there anything in
which young men are so thor.
oughly mistaken as the low es'
innate they form of the integ.
rity Of women-not Of their
own mothers and sisters, thank
God, bot Of others, whom they
forget are somebody else's
mothers and sisters. bar
As a rule, no person Sho
surrenders to this debasing hab
it is safe TO be trusted with any
enterprise requiring integrity
Of character. 9 i'A'i4ee- p
Plain words should be spoken
on this point, for the evil is a
general one, and deep rooted

less Or even lewd women, they
have no more right to meas
ure all other women by what
they see Of these than they
would have to estimate the
character of honest and re-
spectacle citizens by the de-
yelopment Of crime in our
courts. Iol ,og-- adj
Let young men remember
that their chief. happiness in
life depends upon their utter
faith in women, No worldly
wisdom, no misanthropic phil
osophy, no generalization can
cover or weaken this funda.

the record OF God himself for
tits nothing less than this

seal upon lips that are wont to

him to buy up enough votes to secure his
election. =

A reign of terror prevailed in all the int.

JoHNsoNITEs DISSATISFIED.
WASHINGTON, July 13.--The detection of
the Johnsonites to the Democratic party
since the New York Convention has been
marked indeed, but is reaching its flood
tide now. Among the latest of the many
prominent men of this class who have given
in their adherence to Grant and Colfax is
the Hon. Martin +. Conway, formerly q
member of the House from Kansas, and
now United States Consul at Marseilles. -
He will probably take the stump for the
Republican ticket. Postmaster General
Randall is another of the same class. but
while he has not yet made up his mind to
support Grant, he publicly asserts tha. he
cannot conscientiously support repudiators
or their repudiating platform. He advises
against the so.called third party movement,
as in his opinion it would not have half q
chance for success.
CONFERENCE OVER THE TAX BILL.
The Conference Committee on the tax
| bill met tonight and expect to complete
their deliberations tomorrow. The only
material points ON which there is any diff.
ference, is the tax on banks and the license
OF wholesale liquor dealers. They will
throw out the bank sections entirely, and
probably retain high tax on all liquor
dealers. Both Houses will probably concur
in the report of the Conference Committee,
without discussion.
NORTH CAROLINA MEMBERS.
Two more members took their seats TO.
day, and cast their first votes to take up
| the Tariff. 1t now takes one hundred and
one members for a quorum.
THIRD PARTY.
Some of MIR. Chase's friends are irving to
get up third party movement and run him
upon modified Democratic platform, with
some unobjectionable man for Vice Presi-
dent, and BY securing the balance of power
from the Conservative ranks, induce Mr..
Seymour to withdraw. Mr.. Chase docs not
| consider that he is so for committed to the
action of the New York Convention as to
prevent his running Independently if dsem-
ed advisable by his friends.

Frank p. Blair is a renegade politician
and a dishonored soldier. When the con-
test between freedom and slavery was ra-
giug in Missouri and Kansas, he took strong
ground as free State man and emancipa.
ZIONIST, and thus secured favor from the
Republican party which he speedily abused
by the most fragrant recreancy. His record
in the army is devoid of glory, and his per-
sonal conduct was such that Mr.. Lincoln
incurred great odium by adhering to him
which he did on account of the influence
of other members of the inevitable Blair
family. OF course, Forrest, the butcher of
Fort Pillow, and Wade Hampton, who de.
clared after the close of the war that he
would ''sooner live in hell than under the
United States Government" delight to
honor" this Democratic candidate for Vice
President. Albany Journal
