This is Leap year, and. according to
some authorities who uphold the ancient
Latin custom, it is not 20 be thought in
delicate or improper for the ladies to pro-
pose matrimuny. Mrs Elizabeth CaSes
Smith nails her colors to the mast" ia
defense of the position that ''it is right
proper and delicate for woman to choose
her husband, and this not only in Leap
year, but III all time. And She thinks
that the man thus distinguished hy her
choice viii feel himself euobled and sane
tilted. and will reward such woman with
teufold tenderness and reverence" Mrs.
OakoS Smith illustrates what she m ,ans
BY case One of her mothers New
England friends resolved to address one OF
two brothers whom She admired and loved
thinking him too modest to speak on nc
count If her supposed superiority in point
OF rank. Unfortunately She addressed
the wrong brother, james instead of John.
The wrong man was delighted. and not
being very sagacious nor understanding
the meaning of her question. "YouT name

explain the little mistake, and so she
married him, while his brother John, in

ties concerned were miserable through

OF such matters Mrs L. Oakos Smith
does not affirm, but il must be confessed
she gives her sex so;le very prudent hints.
though We fear they would sometimes be
in effect frustrated by such mistakes as
John for James
The fact is, that, as matters are now
and ever have been, woman not only has
the right, but exercises it, too, to choose
her own husband II she does not like
the one who seeks to marry her, she will
be very apt to let him know it, without
much necessity for explanation or oppor-
tunity for it, and if She does like him,
there are thousand ways more delicate of
letting him know it than telling him in
words, and she will find out some of these
and he will read them, if not hopelessiy

question would seem to be whether. when

Even Mrs. Smith does not seem to differ
from the common view here. She only
contends that "it is no worse for woman
to be rejected than for man to be so"
In this we differ from her, even in Leap

delicacy and usual good sense of Qeeen
Victoria, there is no part of the otherwise
admirable sketch of her early life of
Prince Albert that so inverts all natural

SUFFRAGE IL MICmGAN.-An address
to the Republicans in Michigan has beer
issued by the State Central Committee,
urging them to organize for the Spring
election, at which the new State Consti-
tuition is to be submitted for ratification
or rejection. They call attention cspe-
cially to the clause providing for equal
suffrage, saying:
This question OF equal suffrage is the
main question in the canvass Other
issues may be made to influence the result :;
but upon this question alone arc the two
political parties divided can neither
be evaled nor kept in the background,
The Democratic party has rallied, al q
pditH against it. and they must be met
by the Republicans as Il pdrtH We nei-
thcr ought to desire, nor attempt to dodge,
the responsibility Of this principle. The
Republican party placed it in the new
constitution; and the Republican party
must sustain IT. II is worthy Of our sup
port. l. is the logical and inevitable
conclusion Of tho Republican principles
and policy"

TREAsoN-Thc Richmond Dispatch is
excited over the idea that Sergeant Bates
who has, on a wager, undertaken the
task of carrying the national flag from
Nicksburg to Richmond, unaceompanicd
by an escort and unarmed will succeed
in his undertaking, and gives vent to its
feelings in the utteranee Of the following
reasonable sentiments:
Suppose that Bates reaches the termina-
tion CT his route without molestation, as
we conjecture he will, what will that
prove , That we love Radicalism That
we regard that as the law and canstitu-
tion That we are ready to lick the
hand thGt's raised to shed our blood !.
Nonsense. The South has not altered its
opinion Of the constitution, and its attach
ment for it, since it was adopted in Sc.
1t is loyal 10 the government formed and
administered according to that instru-
ment. 1t is ready and anxious to return
TO such government; and in tlat sense
is traly loyal, and opposed to the party
that has destroyed both. 1t has no atfec-
tion for Radicalism and never will To
the latest generation of the people in this
part of the Union, there will be cherished
an undying hate for that worst ism that
ever cursed this land Don't mis.nterpret
Bates trip.
The editor Of the Dispatch evidently
needs to be reconstructed"

a CLEAR STATEMENT. - The contro-
versy between the President and Gen.
Grant, is neatly end spicily summed up
by Wilkea Spirit Of the Times, in the fol-
lowing paragraph:
'One point is distinctly made out, not
withstanding all the contradiction and
confusion, and that il, that Gen. Grant
gave the President the required notice OF
his change of views, and thus left him
fully at liberty tSmake the game for HIM
self. Gen. Grant did not resign, on ac-
quainting Mr.. johnson with this change
of views, because that would have been
an active cooperation with the President
ial plans against the Senate but he de-
liberately placed himself in position to
be suspended and if Mr.. johnson had
meant anything more serious than po-
litical wrangle, he would have suspended
him at once, and tried the issue with Con-
gress on his own resources.
