Woman Suffrage.

Whatever differences of opinion may
exist, as to the right and expediency of
woman suffrage, 1t is certain the PROPOSE
ton is being now agitated more than ever.
Conventions for the turtherapce of woman
suffrage, are being held with more fire.
quency and new recruits are joining in the
tanks. Not only in the United States but
also in England, the subject is being ex-
tensivel, discussed, When the movement
is fairly inaugurated it will GO forward
revolutions never go backward" At
the late Womans' Suffrage Convention
held in Boston, Mr.. Garrison recounted
the progress of the anti-slavery agitation
and declared from his experience as re-
former, that the Womans Rights reform,
was passing through the regular stages
to sure and speedy Triumph. Senator
Wilson also in the same convention, gave
assurance that whenever the women of
this country ask for the right to vote, it
will be given them.
In this country suffrage has undergone
great changes within the memory of many
now living. Once it was required that
every voter should be possessed of free
lold estate to The value of two hundred
md fifty dollars No matter how learned
md intelligent the man offering to vote
he was denied the right unless he was a
and owner. At length the property quail
fication was repealed, and the right of
suffrage conferred on all white male citi-
sens. Later still the right of suffrage is
being extended to colored men, and doubt
ess will be uniformly SO within short
period. 1t can hardly be expected that
'he extention of suffrage will stop here
t is destined to be still more widely diff
fused.

Safe Business Investment.

1t has been satisfactorily demonstrated
that capital can be as safely and advan-
tageously invested for manufacturing pur-
poses in Kenosha, as any where else in
the western States The manufactures
which have been undertaken here with a
acknowledgements fcapital, and managed
with any degree of prudence, have succeed
ed well. The superiority of the location
of Kenosha for manufacturing purposes,
is obvious. No town or city away from
the Lake, has advantages comparable
to this In the manufacture of articles
requiring the use of iron or other heavy
metals, we have water communication
with the mines of Lake Superior this
gives an advantage over towns altogether
dependent on railroad transportation.
Any branch Of manufacture demanding
the use of timber, large quantities of lum-
Der or heavy material of any sort, has
decided preference in location here So
too, wood and coal, which are indespensi-
Bile to steam power, are more readily OBJ
tainable here our direct water commun-
ication with the timbered regions of
northern Michigan and northern Wiscon
sin, afford advantages which are denied
the interior towns. Coal from Ohio and
Pennsylvania, can be delivered here much
cheaper than in any western city, depend
ent both on lake and railroad transporta-
ton for supply. Added to the foregoing,
Kenosha has preferences, over some of the
larger cities on the Lake Shore. Real es-
tate property here is only fraction in
price, compared with Chicago; much less
also than in Milwaukee. Our facilities
for communication by railroad throughout
the entire west, are all that can be desired
Kenosha can never expect to become a
city of large mercantile trade; but the
investment of capital here for munufactur-
ing purposes, would be certain to produce
profitable returns, and make it town of
manufacturing Importance.

COUNTY SEAT, LAKE Co. LII There
seems to be a disposition manifested by
some of the people of Lake county, to
procure a removal of the county seat from
Waukegan to some central point in the
interior of the county. Ths people of
Lake county could not we'll do more I'M
wise thing, than remove the county scat.
Geographical centers, are of little import
ance in matters of this Kind. The con-
Venience of the people who are required
to attend the sessions of court, is of far
more consequence, than the saving of
few miles travel in reaching the county
seat.

OF the twenty-ene United States Sena-
tors whose terms of office expire on the
Alb of March next, the Democrats gain
IN three instances. and the Replicans in
five, the former being in California, New
Jersey, and Ohio and the latter in Con-

Patterson and Doolittle
The Northwest will be particularly
grateful at the shutting out of DColittle.
True, Doolittle is something of a success
In the line of cheap oratory. A rather
han, 1some man is Doolittle He knows
how to round his periods and modulate
his pleasing voice so as to succeed in cap
tivating the crinoline and the Jenkinses
of the galleries His gesticulations are
always in the true curved lines of beauty,
and, whether he bends his Senatorial arms
or his Senatorial legs, Doolittle may be
said to be in short, Grecian bender.
When he approaches within the noted
Napoleonic one step of pathos, he can
wipe his Senatorial nose with his Senate
rial linen, with the most astonishing eff
feet Doolittle comes very near, if not
quite, being an ass, nevertheless If there
were enough to him
''To points moral or adorn ale,"
we shoul say his unmixed failure might
teach the people to beware of mere CAB
in public men. Speech is SO far from be-
ing always silver, that it is very frequent
ly the most worthless "bogus," of no earth
ly account inthe long run, as in the case
of poor Doolittle. Chicago Post.

National Christian Convention

A National Christian Convention, was
held last week in the city of New York
which was largely attended from different
States. The New York Tribune says the
result of the three days session of the
Convention was as follows j. g5f
GLOW to reach the Masses, that the
paincipai reason why the Gospel has not
been universally difused was the lack of
effort on the part of the wealthy churches
and influential Christians. AS remedy
for this sherteoming, it is urged that there
be good congregational singing, free
CHURCHES, better preaching, shorter ser
MONS more enthusiasm, less show, atten-
ton to the poor, education Of women for
the Church and for the missionary field,
daily religious newspapers, and irst-class
religious literature.

SO as to allow the people to vote directly

is again being discussed, Congress

rule of suffrage throughout all the States,
and to regulate the election of all officers

for these officers in thesame manner as for
any other officer. The Intervention of

complication, and is destined ultimately
to be dispensed with

has been suspended for want of proper

Gen. Butler proposes introducing early
in the next session of Congress, bill for
the correct registration of voters in cities,
providing for complete registration at
least thirty days before regular election
and for public posting of the list at
least fifteen days before the election. This
list shall give every voters name in full,
and place of residence The bill to be pre-
sented, will embrace several other import
ant provisions, calculated to guard the
purity of the ballot box.

Thanksgiving.

To-day, Thursday, having been deslg
mated by authority State and National, for
the annual observance of Thanksgiving,
the Methodists, Baptists and Congrega-
tionalists hold union service in the
Methodist Church, commencing at IL
o'clock A. NJ Sermon by Rev. W. w.
Macomber.
The good people of the United States
never had greater cause for thankfulnesS
than now the nation has been delivered
from threatened revolution, and late des-
perate attempt to displace the defenders
of the Union from power, aud to put the
reins of government into the hands OF ex-
rebels and their sympathisers. The coun-
try, through the Providence of God, has
been saved from these calamaties, and the
people now confidently look forward to a
season of Peace. 1t is fitting that every
church, of every name in the land, should
in assembled audience, and with united
hearts, send up the voice of praise
Strange, however, as it may sound, there
are churches in the States of the North,
within whose walls has never been heard
an expression Of thanks for the removal
of the curse of American slavery. The
separation of husband and wife, of parent
and child, and The auctloning of human
beings in the market, to be transferred to
the deadly miasma of the rice swamps,
never elicted q word of condemnation in
these consecrated sanctuaries. And why
this singular obliviousness to the greatest
crime the sun ever shone upon? Simply
because the church is too sacred a place to
speak of down-trodden, crushed and bleed
ing humanity Under pretense Of taeo,
four millions of human beings were chat
telized, and reduced to the condition of
things, therefore the church must not
plead the cause of Gods poor,for so doing
would be preaching politics p Out up
on the Christianity which is too circum-
spect-tOo precise to be Christ-like.
Away with the Christianity which dare
not to-day render thanksgiving and praise
for the emancipation of the millions from
bondage, to the God-giYen heritage of
freemen, for fear of Decorating the church
sanctuary. The Great Teacher ever took
sides with the poor and oppressed, aud
denounced the oppressor. He ever re-
joiced with those who came off conquerors
over wrong and wickedness. Why should
His professed followers be more fastidious
than He, as tO the time and place for ut
tering great truths for humanity?

Haytien News.

New YORK, April 15-The Herald's spe-
cial from Hayri the 4th, says a bloody bat
tie had taken place near gGouaves. The
Government forces amounted to 600 men
with two cannons. and the Cacos numbered
1000. The latter lay in ambush, and after
routing the Government troops retook the
towns of Monbin, Vallieri, Perche, Rignon,
Raphael and Michel. They captured many
prisoners and the enemy's cannohs. The
commanding General, Victerien Chevalier,
is missing. General Augustuqe Monies,
brother of the late General Leon Monies,
reviewed the Cacos two days after
wards, and found them in excellent
order. Their headquarters are at the
town of Michel, covering the most impor-
tant point. A decisive struggle is at hand,
and it is expected that a change in the
Government will take place after Easter.
President Salnave's exploits have been ex-
ceedingly exaggerated. His reported cap
ture at Fort Tiberele is doubted. Salnave,
when last heard from, was at Guaraminthe
making tour before returning to the capi-
tai. Reliable advices inform US that there
was an open rebellion at Gouayes, but we
have no details. q - s-h----f --7i- l'A
