Wendell Phillips has published a long letter in the
Anti Slavery Standard coming out for Grant, as
choice but as resource and as one to be borne up
and the negro seid.' Il is declaration Of the
advanced Radicals that they get and do all they
want with Grant. In the letter, Phillips says: We
have little confidence in Grant He is devoid Of any
statesmanllke instinct The nation recognizes him
a tool. He has been drunk in the public streets since
January first The fact is patent the noon day
Only those unfit to be trusted with public Journals bats
passing themselves off for owls deny it. He is our

hood caunot claim any qualities which fit him for
leader" Still he supports him. just because he consid-

The LABOR CONGRESS AND TIE FEMININE SEx.-The
Labor Congress assembled at New York on the goth
ult special dispatch to the Louisville Journal states
that on the 23d ut, it greatly agtated by the ae-
ton admitting Mrs Stanton delegate. ALI would
grady have given her seat by courtesy, but large
portion thought it tacit Acknowledgements Of the
right of woman suffrage and too heavy load to carry
A resolution of compromise offered, and carried
