The Woman Question.

In accordance with our well known lib.
eral custom, we to-day give space to two
articles which the publication of "Miss
Katie's" article of last week has evoked.
In our opinion the time has come when
this question has to be met. Let it be
discussed in the spirit of candor, fairness
and delicacY. We shall give both sides
fair hearing, not Disgusting our own
prejudices or opinions when We feel called
upon to ayow them.
A,propos of the question, we would here
say that Mr.. Stebbins of Hartford, Ct,
has published book, very racy, profuse-
ly illustrated and Astounding in arguments
pro and con, which every one who feels
the slightest interest in the approaching
contest should certainly read. 1t is writ
ten by L. P. Brockett, M. D., and is sold
only by subscription. An agent is already
in the field in this county. The price of
the book is $500, which considering the
richness of its illustrations and its store of
information, historic and otherwise, gath
cred from a great range Of research, is
cheap enough. Everybody will want it.

Miss Katie, please let me ask, if, be-
cause my little ones love dearly to hear
about "the old woman that lived in the
shoe," and / love dearly to tell it them,
that is reason my thoughts should never
stray from that same "old woman that
lived in her shoe 2" or in other words, is
woman incapable of thinking and talking
OH anything but household matters? Do
VIC not see men everywhere, working on
their farms, in their shops or Offices and
yet 60 to the polls, to deposit their votes,
at the proper time, and that without det-
riment to either their business or their
morals? Then why cannot woman do the
same
Did her Creator endow her with
those qualities ofmind and character which
would lead her to wish to enter, and fit
her for entering the polluted arena Of po-
litical life" etc.
Politics, the governing power polluted :?
the We y place we look for concentrated
justice, wisdom and purity,-that so pol
luted woman cannot enter therein! Then,
methinks, It's high time that woman, with
pure, noble, patriotic aud strong souls
should band together, shoulder their brooms
and clean out "that den Of thieves"
But follow that thought to its ultimate.
Woman must stay quietly at home, attend
ing to her own domestic affairs, not even
reading political papers for fear of soiing
her purity, using her influence around the
6rcside alone, while corrupt politicians
meet to make laws in den Of political
chicanery too foul to admit Of woman's
presence, and yet there they concoct laws
which must govern her life, however re-
voting they may seem to her purity. Let
me ask how can she Use influence for the
right and yet obey the wrong? .
"Will not all that is sweet and wom-
anly in her character vanish as she steps
upon the public platform Of political ac-
tioh ?"
Let me ask whence cometh purity of
soul ? Is it developed in woman because
she is guarded and kept in her sphere of
domestic bliss ? Then why not try that
same process of guarding and homestead
ing upon some Of our politicians, long
enough, at least, to enable them TO some
what purify the political atmospheric
This fear Of wonan's unsexing herself is
a weak, puerile fear as ever found lodg-
ment in ignorant or educated mind wo.
man cannot do that IF s'swest and wos
manly is her nature, she would be the
same even in the presidential chair Nay.

MONTPELIER A citizens meeting, to
consider further the subject of temper
ance, and hear a report from the commit
&c Of twenty, appointed some time ago,
was held at the Village Hall on Monday
evening. The report Of The committee
showed four cases of violation Of the pro-
hibitory liquor Law, prosecuted success
fully; one for the first offence, two for the
second, and one for the third. The lat
ter appealed to the County Court from
the Imprisonment part Of the sentence, but
promptly paid the fine.
The call for the meeting included thofe
who did not, as well as those who did, ia
vor the suppression of the traits. The
rum interest was ropresented by its attor-
ney, j. A. Vail, who advocated letting
the regular officers Of the law act without
any influence of public opinion upon them.
Remarks were made by Rcvs. j. Il.
Wright and s. Holman, W. W. Ferrin,
Esq, Geo. Bradshaw, ESQ, Hon. G. W.
Willard and others. 1t being suggested
that The counsel fees for the prosecution
Of Igor cases were to small to secure
their proper mana cement, Mr.. Bradshaw
proposed to make up, to any total alb
stinence lawyer who wou d undertake the
prosecution Of liquor trials in Montpelier,
what the legal fee lacked of being reason
able for the services rendered. His offer
was received with great satisfaction by
the meeting.
The following resolution was adopted :
KeSolUed, That the thanks Of this meet
ing are hereby rendered to the citizens
committee, and to the civil authority and
magistrates of the town, for their faithful
services thus far reported; and that they
be requested to persist in the thorough
execution of the law, as the only mode of
lettering offenders who respect neither
the law of the State nor the wishes and
welfare of this community, assured that
in SO doing they will be sustained and
protected by every good citizen.
On motion, the meeting adjourned, to

WASHINGTON, ID. Z. Nov. ., 1869.
The opposition journals here are de-
lighted, of course, with any prete1t for a
bit at she Administration or at anything
connected with it.
Have you seen anything about the dis
missal Of Mr.. Joseph A. Ware? That
was glorious windfall for them. And,
indeed, everything was 80 favorable to
their purpose that they hare succeeded
in making quite a noticeable event of it,
and even in misleading many of our Re-
publican friends here, for time, into a
decidedly indignant state of mind at, as i,
was made to appear, an anti-Republican
contempt for enc of the people and a tyr
annical abuse of power to Cypress him,
unofcnding and unheard.
What appeared in the papers was this;
An excellently written petition of Mr.
Ware to Sec. Boutwell, setting forth that
he was 4th class (sS00) clerk in the
Treasury Department (he was acting as
Solicitor of the 9th Auditors oifice) that
$50 had been deducted from his salary
for Is days absence in sickness that SAL
aries were fret by 1a,e, and he respect
fully submitted thnt clerk $ salary could
not be legally stopped fer absence that
dismissal was the only remedy in the Secs
retary's power against an unsatisfactory
clerk and citing legal authorities to sus-
tain the point, that his sieknessshad put
him to $50 extra expense, that he most
cmphatically disclaimcd any interference
with the Secretary's own mode of admin.
istering his Department, but simply, for
all the reasons set forth, legal and person
al, begged favorable consideration Of
his case. aanha
All which, you will think looks very
prepossesslng and TAR. And to read 1T
would impress you still more favorably,
with its cearness of method, mastery of
statement, legal lore, and withal perfect
respectfulness. Accompanying the publ.
cation of this petition was the announce

was dismissed on the self-same day on
which his petition was received! And

Reward OF Virtue.

While murders of all kinds, and under
all conceivable circumstances of aggrava-
ton, and upon all ages and both sexes
have been on the increase fearfully within
the past few years, the N. Y. Tribune
has been the loudest to cry out against
hanging the murderers. Under its teach
ings the most atrocious butchers have
gone free in many instances.
Last week, we believe on the same day
that Golf shot Harris, an assassin stepped
into the Tribune Office and coolly put a
chunk of cold lead through the abdominal
regions of Albert d. Richardson, ESQ,
one of the TriJune's editors. There was
faint hopes of Richardson's recovery at
last accounts. The same assassin attempt
ed Richardson's life once before and Rich
ardson refused to appear against him
Well, we shall expect soma unusually
pungent articles this week in the Tribune
against the barbarism of hanging murder

" WOinan's Sphere"

Great reforms are preceded by ridicule
as well as discussion. After the contest
comes the triumph. Slavery was much
nearer its end, than many thought little
time previous. Fealnle suffrage may be
nearer acceptance than many realize
There were more men in the Legislature
of Vermont than We supposed, willing to
do some justice to women in allowing them
to vote in school meetings. The question
10 to come before the people Of this State.
We do not anticipate that men sufficiently
appreciate woman to give her the ballot,
or even tina. she appreciates herself suf-
ficienty to demand it, The world moves,
however, as Calico insisted, and will not
cease to move although tyranny may de-
cree its inability.
Who gave to men the right of suffrage
who made this exclusively their sphere ?
whence does man derive the franchise ?
Woman are excluded from the ballot on
the wicked and ancient principle of might.
We are the ems" and we intend to keep
you out, men say, to women, we have the
power, you must submit.

ing home to maintain woman's purity have
on conception of the strength of the pure in
heart. Woman's purity is God-given
faculty, and the more knowledge she has
the stronger stands her soul in the right !;
there is.no danger that true woman will
ever fofsake home. Look at Mrs. Stanton,
the pioneer in the field of woman's rights.
Has she not been throughout the land
lecturing eloquently on the subject and
yet neglecting no home duty9 Where
will you find moro genial or domestic
woman than that same Mrs. Stanton? The
simple act of voting how can it mar wo-
mans sweetness any more than singing in
meeting?
"Shc must take time to inform herself
upon political subjects, " etc.
Of course she must and ought. Ii she
is a noble patriotic woman, worthy the
name of sister or mother she should talk
with far more pleasure on the subject OF
good wholesome laws, than of Eugcnia 5
last fashions or folly.
eff intemperance, crime and political
corruption cannot be restrained till the
time comes in which woman obtains great
CIR influence by having the right of suffrage
granted her, than shallwe look in vain for
that day to come"
Are you rot cruel thus to dash all hope
from the heart of Borrowing and fearing
sisters, wives and mothers throughout our
land? For, looking back through the
long vista of years, does not history show
that woman's influence in the relation of
daughter, wife and mother has ever been
arrayed against intemperance, crime and
tyranny, and yet has her influence there
removed these views ? Was there ever a
time that woman was better educated
than now 2-.was there ever a time when
she possessed greater or more widely ex-
tend influence than now ? and yet was
there ever a time when intemperance
brought desolation to so many hearts as
now? Then looking back through the
past centuries wherein woman has used
her home influence sill in vain, would it
not be wisdom to counsel her to try some
new path to remedy these evils?
But all other considerations aside, there
is this one great self-evident truth written
as law of the universe, "God made all
free and equal" therefore liberty should
be written upon the ballot-box, without a
forbidding word FOR color or sex. If we
follow where the God of Nature leads
there is no reason for fearing the result.
And though you and | love to be guarded
and supported, defying all efforts to arouse
us to anything nobler than fashions chan
gos, yet there are noble, pure-minded
American women who know the luxury of
independent thought, and their souls see
farther than ours; then why should we
try to blind their eyes with tho frivolous
things that put out our own-espccially
when God has written freedom for all ?
