THE F0nRTH DISTRICT.

The first election ever held in this con.
gressional district, as now constituted was
in 1862. when the democrats carried it by
2,9lj majority. The district was made up
by the radicals for the especial purpose Of
sending Jack Grimshaw, of Quincy, to con.
gress, Adams county, where he resided be.
ing a strong democratic county, and there
being no way TO do it but to run the district
up into the northern republican counties.
In 1861, the republicans having the legisla.
ture, it became their duty to redistrict the
state, under the census of 1860, aud ia or.
TO swamp Quincy and the democratic counties
Of Adams and Hancock, they attached them
to northern counties and run the district up
high enough, among the republican counties,
to give them a majority Of ,2j2, making it
2jO miles long on the Mississippi river, only
4 miles wide in the narrowest place, aud
about 30 miles wide in the widest place
The district will average about $50 miles By
20, with very irregular lines. 1t was shame
full piece Of gerrymAndering, for the double
purpose of preventing the prominent demo.
Gratis of Quincy from going to congress, and
enabling leading republicans in that city, es.
pecially Grimshaw, TO go to congress. In
one respect the managers Of the scheme
have been and always will be defeated, No
republican from Quincy has ever been able
even to secure q nomination from his own
psrty-and never will. The republicans
of the four republican counties understand
their business, and they don't propose TO ever
let Quincy have member Of congress.

Mr.. Bes. never can stand First best" with
the women on this side Of the Atlantic, after
his r3cent argument in the English court
against woman suffrage. His strong point
is, the unbroken practice Of two centuries
and q general practice Of five centuries to
the contrary. He brazenly insists that the
sex is inferior TO the male sex "by the
law Of nature, by the law of God,
by the constitution, and by universal
practice throughout the world for six thou.
sand ycars' The pivot on which the wo'
man.suiTrage question is just now turning in
England is,-uot the claim Of justice and
right, az here, but the Interpretation Of the
law and the customs Of the country. 1t is
argued, for the former, that the reform act
does not exclude women when it uses the
word "men; aud this rendering it is at.
tempted " supper! by certain notorious ex.
holders, Only two ont Of the large number
of women in England who have been placed
on the lists Of voters have had their claims
fagoEabIy decided on, the other contested
cases having gone the other way. In al
cases the revising barrlsters have full author
ity over the subject. They cannot expect
however, to suppress question altogethe
which has suddenly forced itself into sucI
prominence in MI era of reform.

CHARLES H. LANPHIER.

Among all the candidates for office, this |
fall, except Of course our national and state
candidates, the democracy Of Illinois were
as anxious for the success Of Charles II.
Lanpeier, candidate for circuit clerk, in
Springfield, Ssngamon county, as any man
before the people. Mr.. Laupher, for a long
series Of yesrs-s quarter Of century
was either the editor and publisher of the
State Regis ter, or connected with the estab.
liShment, and as such the democracy of the
state beca me much attached to him. He
had industriously spent the best part OF his
life in their cause, and they were more espe-
ciAlly interested in his success when they
learned the unscrupulous and disreputablt
means using in Springfield to defeat him
1t is a shame to the democracy of Spring
field mot the county that they permltte,
themselves TO be humbugged into the COW
ardly desertion of true man for an unprin
cipled renegade who had no real claims upor
their support. We, in common with the
democracy of the state, rejoice that Mr.
Lanphier was not defeated and we sincerely
trust that the democracy Of Springfield will
vet show to their friends throughout the
state that they are governed by more honor.
able motives than controlled many of them
in the late election.
