Lawrence, Mass, had one case of
woman suffrage on election day, and
the character of the case is a good ar
gument for giving the voting privilege
to all her sisters. This case occurred
in the Fifth ward, where a strong-will-
ed woman, whose husband proposed to
vote the Democratic ticket, took him
by the arm, went with him to the polls,
and when his name was checked by the
inspectors herself deposited for him a
Grant and Colfax ticket.

WHICH WILL He GET ?-The Ku Klux
Democracy ofTennessee are debating among
themselves whether they shall take mp An
drew johnson for the next candidate for
Governor, or let him retire to the domestic
solitude of Graenrlle, there to run for al
derman the next opportunity. We hardly
know which to condole with as the matter
now stands-the people ofGreenville, or the
peaceable citizens of Nashville. If the De
mocracy succeed in pushing Andrew into
the gubernatorial chair, it will be hard on
Nashville, but relief to the quiet, secluded
borough in East Tennessee but if alder

The History of a Tin Box.

The Washington correspondent of the
Tribune relates curious history of a GER
tain tin box which was deposited by Mr.. Stan
ton, Secretary of War, with General Spin
ner. Treasurer of the United States, soon
after the close of the war The box was said
to contain $4,000 in gold. About year
ago certain National Bank suspended,
with heavy Indebtedness to the Govern
ment. A United States Quartermaster who
had got into trouble in his official capacity
owed this bank $50, 900, and the box depos-
tied with General Spinner was said and be-
lieved to belong to him. An attorney was
employed by the Bank. and after year :
labor with the Secretary of War and the
Secretary of the Treasury, and after full
discussions of the matter at various meet
lngs of the Cabinet, an order was at length
obtained, on the 1lth inst, to have the box
opened. Gen. Spinner then summoned
number of witnesses who in company with
Gen. Hardee. who was detailed to be pres
ent by the Secretary of War, and the tri-
umphant attorney, proceeded to the vaults.
The remainder of the story is thus told by
the correspo ndent:
. The box was brought out from a dusty
corner for INSPECTION. It was locked and
sealed, but there was no key. After some
delay lockSmith was secured and the box
opened, and found to contain an old calico
dress, and womans shawl and waterproof
cloak, labelled as follows: Taken from
the person of Jefferson Davis at the time
of his capture by Colonel Pritchard of the
L. S. A. - Gen Hardee at once departed
for the War Department The attorney has
gone to New York, and General Spinner is
still laughing at the .greatest joke of the
season.

The Deseret NesOs announces the ar
rival at Salt Lake City of 10000 first
and second readers for the schools of
Utah, printed in the new Mormon al
phabet. This is device for shutting
out the influence of Gentle books, and
newspapers, which will be Greek to
those who are taught only the Mormon
alphabet. But it will no more answer
the purpose than the scheme of confn-
ing the trade of the Mormons to their
own sect, adopted at their late annual
conference.
