WE print elsewhere a card IRON
Secretary Fletcher in regard to the
attack of the Knoxville Wing on
him, which we printed the other
day. We presume this will be the
last of this little "unpleasantness, y
much to the relief Of the Governor.
The tmae manner in which the Gov
ernor replied through the Wig to
the Seeretary's second letter, show
ed very conclusively that he had no
stomach for the fight which the
latter was ready to give him. The
truth is, the Secretary knows too
much of the secret history of the
Brownlow administration, of the
usurpations of the Governor, and
his utter disregard of law, and
neither the Governor nor his friends
will provoke Mr.. Fletcher to tell
what he knows.

GEN. GRANT, it is announced as
definitely decided, will not appear
at any Inauguration ball or recep-
ton notwithstanding the original
Inauguration ball committee are still
diligently at work endeavoring to
perfect a plan on which the .fete can
be successfully carried through.
The privilege of using the Treasury
building for the purpose has been
given by the proper authorities, and
now the more serious portion of
their labors lies before them-the
task of arranging the details and
specifying the classes and colors of
citizens that shall be permitted to
purchase tickets and engage in the
festivities. In the meantime the
political and social leaders Of the
colored citizens are on the alert to
prevent their rights from being Ig-
nored. 1t is claimed by some that
the reply General Grant gave the
committee when requested to say
whether he would attend the ball
was not regarded in the light of
decided refusal, and hopes are en-
tertained that if the matter can be
managed successfully he will yet be
prevailed upon TO honor the enter
tainment with his presence.

The female suffrage movement
is taking form and shape in Mis-
souri,. A st. Louis dispatch of
Thursday says that delegates of the
Woman's Suffrage Association were
received by the Legislature in joint
session that afternoon and treated
with marked respect John G..
Orrick, Speaker of the House, WAS
called to the chair, and made q
short speech, taking strong grounds
in favor of female suffrage and
making this a republican govern
ment in fact as it is in theory. Mrs.
John S. Phelps made a few re-
marks, giving an outline of the
reasons why the women demand
the ballot.
But the principal speech Of the
occasion was by Miss Phoebe W.
Cozzens, Of ST. Louis, who deliV
cred a long, elaborate, and very
eloquent speech, going over nearly
the whole ground in question and
making many strong points. She
was listened TO with unusual atten-
ton and frequently applauded.
1t. Gov Stanard, Senator Harbine,
and several other members spoke
and took very decided ground in
favor Of woman suffrage. After
the adjournment of the convention
the suffrage petition was circulated,
and Gov. McClurg, 1t, Gov Sta
nard, and some seventy or eighty
Senators and Representatives signed
it, which almost assures that an
amendment to the constitution
striking out the word male will be
submitted to the people as a sepa-
rate proposition at the next cleo

February. 1t had been previously
fixed for February ., but Judge
Black consented to a postponement
to accommodate Mat Carpenter,
who is counsel for the Governments
The question to be argued is,
whether the law passed by Con-
gress last year taking away the
appellate jurisdiction from the Su-
preme Court is operative in this
case, which was pending in this
Court at the time the law was
passed. The McArdle case, it will
be remembered, comes up &c
aarte from the lower court in
Mississippi, where he, as a
Vicksburg editor, was imprisoned
by Gen. Ord by virtue Of the mill
tary power conferred by the recon
struction acts. If the Supreme
Court decide that the act Of Con
gress is retroactive and unconstitu-
tional, as applied to a case already
panding then the court will have
an opportunity to pronounce on the
validity Of military reconstruction.
Ii was well understood at the time
the act destroying the appellate ju-
risdiction Of the court in hobeds
corpus cases was passed, that Con
gress intended to prevent a decision
on the great question involved in
the pending McCardle case.
