8I0OHRf.
For some time past political society. pu.Go
meetings and the plans Of political pipelsyers
have been greatly disturbed by the attempted
Introduction Of the female element into politics.
Women knock at the gates of political wig
vans and demand admission in the name e
the sex. They claim little rights for crime
line and none at all in the name of the Grecisa
bend. 1t is the right of suffrage they want,
and the right to scold every one according 70
the ''patriotic" inspiration Of their temper.
Some of them are married and have changed
their habiliments-in metaph0rical sense, Of
course-for those of the other sex. OtheH
are unmarried, but are periodically inspired 70
get husbands, although perhaps they are not
going exactly in the right way to accomplish
their ends by attending political meetings and
by abandoning the care of their kitchen utea-
sils and the darning of their brothers' stockings
to make speeches at conventions and edit
newspapers. The idea of this class concern
ing what they call the sphere of woman
appears to be q good deal mixed up. II We
were disposed to be unkind and heap Goals of
fire upon the heads of these ladies we might
recall the picture of Martha Washington with
her distaA, comedy and honored matron at
the head of her household; of the angelic
Quakeress, Elizabeth Fry, carrying to the pri-
son and the hospital the true balm of woman's
charity and devotion; to Florence Nightin-
gale in her camp and battle field
pilgrimages to the thousands Of women
whose voices are only heard by the sick
bed and in the garrets of the poor, whom
we call, appropriately enough, SISTERS" Of
Mercy and Charity; for if they cannot
claim relationship with these attributes
who can? None of these felt it neces-
sary to demand the right of making
speeches at conventions or joining in the
queue at the polls on election day. Think Of
Martha Washington, or Mrs. Fry, or Sister
of Charity, or any one of the thousands of the
sex, the wise and modest guardians OF our
households, maidens, wives and mothers, pre-
senting themselves as recruits in the grand
army of voters on election morning!
1t is astonishing that the class of women who
aspire to political influence should find any favor
with intelligent people or respectable news
papers. They are really becoming--and We
are sorry to be obliged to say so-as great .
nuisan g as the wicked men of Water street.
They force themselves into notoriety more pO-
litely, of. course, but if they persist in their
present designs to make public spectacles of
themselves they must be regarded as humbug
which deserves to reprobated and set aside.
The strong minded women are about to hold
national convention for the assertion Of their
''rights." We need not say that such gath
ering will become the subject of ridicule to all
sensible people, who, unlike some Of the news
papers, are not disposed to encourage these
poor women in neglecting the duties which
properly belong to their families, their sex and
their station, with the vague hope of obtaining
a notoriety which can only prove, mischievous
to themselves and to society.

GENERAL MEADE Bound FOR GEORGIA.
The administration, It appears, has resolved to
send General Meade back again to Georgia to
keep the peace. Under the circumstances this
alternative is, perhaps, the best that could be
adopted in behalf of law and order. We fear,
too, that in Georgia and other Southern States
General Meade and his cooperating generals
will find abundant employment ill after the
Presidential election.

Monetary and Commercial Prospects.


Monetary and Commercial Prospects.
The most notable feature of financial affairs
just now is the active demand for our national
securities at advancing prices, both at home
and abroad. Five-twenties have risen one per
cent in London and Frankfort within the last
three days, and from the growing investment
inquiry for them in Europe it is fair to suppose
that they will continue steadily in the ascend
ant. The home demand is also increasing and
prices on this side of the Atlantic bid fair to
advance more rapidly than on the other.
There is no more profitable employment to be
found for the idle capital Of the nation than is
afforded by these bonds, and ii is q good sign
that confidence in themtis increasing, and that
capitalists are beginning to appreciate the fact
that they are the cheapest as well as the safest
pect of Congress ever legislating upon the
vexed question as to whether they are redeem
able in gold or greenbacks, so that il is not
likely to be settled until the resumption Of
specie payments, five or ten years hence, fur
nishes practical solution satisfactory to all
concerned.
But because United States stocks are in
the ascendant it does not follow that gold
should decline in the same ratio, the two being
to great extent entirely independent of each
other Gold has declined rapidly this week
because the spectators, who seek to control
il, are operating for fall with the view of
buying at the decline preparatory to an upward
movement; and thus the market is kept in
see-saw state, and values of all kinds, but par
ticularly those Of imported products, are con-
stantly disturbed by the operation. The
inevitable consequence of the present artificial
depression will be an equally sharp upward
reaction, and all these fluctuations are mis-
chievous and damaging to the public credit as
well as to the interests of the people at large.
Money continues unprecedentedly abundant,
loans being made at three and four per cent,
and the indications are against monetary
stringency at any time this year, although
six per cent market is likely to be expe-
rienced before long. The bull ciqucs on the
Stock Exchange are awaiting themselves of
this condition of affairs to further initiate
| prices; but the public should take warning In
time and avoid the speculative railway shares,
as they are neither more nor less than pitfalls
for the unwary and may break down at any
time. The general trade of the country is
good and moderately active for the season, al
though disposition is shown on all sides to
avoid overtradng There is literally no specu-
lative movement in trade, and the large
foreign balances which have been allowed to
accumulate here in consequence of the glut
of capital in Europe are reserved solely for
employment in Wall street loans, and it is
partly owing to this accumulation that the
rates Of foreign exchange are at their present
rather low point. All things considered, we
have more promising future before us than
the political condition of the country would
have justified us 10 anticipating few months
ego.

Mexican Affairs.

Again we have news of fresh rising
against the government Of Mexico. This time
the famous Indian chieftain Lozada is on the
rebel warpath. He has, it is said, made large
purchases of Colts best firearms in San Fran
cisco, has laid in great quantity of provisions
and grain and has gathered all his armed fol-
lowers of the west coast at Topic, in the State
of Jalisco. General Escobedo, who went
back but recently to his telegraphic under
taking at San Luis Potosi, is again ordered to
take the field. But he will wait until the rains
and fevers that are so abundant in the terra
Cdliente have ceased, as both would prove
most dangerous allies of General Lozada The
report that General Marquee, of imperial
list fame, has gone to join the Indian leader
will probably turn out to be unfounded. There
is no doubt, however, that the bad feeling of
the people in Jalisco, caused by the treatment
of Governor Cuervo in Congress, will greatly
aid the rebels and make the approaching cam
paign more disastrous to the national arms
than either the Yucatan, Puebla or Queretaro
instruction did. The province of Lower
California and the States of Sonora and
Sinaloa are also much embittered against the
government and the people begin to envy the
prosperity Of the Upper Calfornians. Hence
annexation has become highly popular.

The Revolution in spain and Its Possible
Consequences.

Consequences.
Spain is evidently up. The rising, which a.
first described might have been a mere c1aeute,
proves, as now more completely chronioled, q
movement vital and vigorous with the impulse
of the whole national will. The people are in
it with unmstakable purpose, and thus it
cannot stop short with the accomplishment of
any mere Ministerial game, with the putting
of one man instead OF another in charge of
the government machinery, nor yet with any
such royal fiction as an abdication that would
permit Isabella to hold all the power of the
crown while she relinquished merely the name
of Queen. II has been common feature Of
Spanish politics that the Ministerial adven-
turers who were out played at revolution with
those who were in and by this means change
has often been brought about. and the an
nouncement ola change in the Ministry coming
30 patty with the early accounts of the disturb
ance and appearing so prominently as an
important event in the story cast some sus-
picion that this movement also was only
another of those games. II appears now that
the decree for the change of Ministry
was issued in the desperate hope of
quieting the disturbance by indicating the
Queens readiness to accept the national idea
if il could be compressed into the shape Of
new Ministry fact that indicates how en-
trely ignorant she was OF the state Of the coun-
try and the minds Of the people. The Queen
talks of change of names-some new name
for the President Of the Ministry, new name
to appear on the royal decrees-and the nation
talks of such changes in institutions as 60 to
the very foundation of the political fabric,
using the phrases constituent assembly" and
universal suffrage" and the expulsion Of
the Bourbons.' When the difference between
sovereign and people is so wide the two can
never come together and must fight for the su-
premacy. In such cases the only question is,
can the people get start against organized
power? This they already have in Spain, and
il seems hardly possible 10 doubt that the
throne must go down.
And what then2 The republic. Spain has
come 30 thoroughly TO associate the idea OF
monarchy with the Bourbon name and all
abuse and tyranny in government with mon

INTERNAL REVENUE FRAUps-BrNcKLEY ON
HANp.-Mr. Buckley, the Treasury Solicitor,
is on hand and has commenced his work of in
vestigation into the internal revenue frauds
in this city. It is reported, too, that Attorney
General Evarts came on from Washington i'm
mediately after having had an interview with
the President, for the purpose, it is supposed,
of aiding the investigation. All this looks
like earnest work. We may expect, therefore,
some extraordinary developments within a
day or two; for there is undoubtedly an enor-
nous amount of rascality to probe and expose.
Mr.. Buckley is on the right track, and now
that his back is up, from the scurvy treatment
he received at the hands Of the whiskey rings
and officials here, we hope he will spare none
of them and make clean job Of the business
he is engaged in.
