The Woman Question.

3 The Question of female suffrage was
again debated in the Ohio Legislature
last week. 1t came in the shape Of
submitting an amendment to the voters
of the State, to strike the word "male"
out Of the constitution. Some Demo-
crat moved to amend by saying that
where the word "white" occurs in the
constitution it shall be held to mean
that no person is white who has a visi-
BILE admixture Of African blood. This
amendment carried. Then an effort
was made to divide the two PROPOSE
tions, and vote on each separately.
Here scene arose which ought to con-
vince the women that men only arc ft
for Legislators. The House became a
wild and roaring mob, and the Speak.
or, after vainly attempting to restore
order, tapped his bell, thus declaring
that the House was a mob, and that he
declined to further recognize it as de-
Lucrative body Finally vote was
reached, and as both propositions went
together, they were voted down. And
thus ends woman's rights in the Dem
ocratic Legislature for the year 1889

make a note of this7

The Portsmouth Tribune, in reporting
the court proceedings, gives the follow
ing:
"The case of Lockwood vs.. Lock
wood was specially set for this day ,and
the parties and witnesses being from a
neighboring state, was taken up before
the completion Of the criminal business.
Plaintiff replevined a lumber boat with
load from Defendant--the lumber be-
ing in this market for sale. An episode
toward the close of the trial broke the
dullness of the Court Room, and gave
US sample of practice over the river.
A witness on the stand intimated that
one Of the attorneys for Plaintiff, who
came with Plaintiff to assist on trial,
had made false statement in relation
to the character of witness; and there
upon the attorney threw cast-iron
pen rack at the witness No one was
hurt The Court accepted an apology
from each-the one had vindicated his
manhood, and the only damage done
was TO the pen rack, never was Of any
use." ....
Two'lawyers from an adjoining coun-
ty got into fight in our court some
two years ago. They fourished chairs
over each others heads for a time.
This case was also settled with an
apology.

cured between 10000 and 100, 900
acres Of land in Usage county, Kansas,

Topeka, the capital Of the state, being

be The finest and most productive sec
tion ofthe State. The Drych speaks OF
the land as being underlaid with coal, (,

Welsh are enterprising and industrious
enough to transform that part of Kan

BY D. MACKLEY

In speaking last week about the law
suit between Seel aud Morgan, am re-
minded of several trials which attend
ed when boy. l remember one at
Esq. William Corners, in Jefferson
township, between John Powers and
John Walton Mr. Powers was an
uncle of Vinton Powers, and Walton
resided on farm joining the farm OF
DR. McNeel. remember that during
the trial Walton and Powers looked
very solemn, and it was evident that
there was bad feeling between them
In fact, l think that people who went
to law in those days were more actua
ted by bad feeling than love of gaini
hence there was more litigation about
trifing matters then than there is at
the present time. In this trial be-
tween Powers and Walton, Elihu John
son was the attorney on one side, and
David Boggs of Gallia county on the
other. He was known as Judge
Boggs think he was associate Judge
for Gallia county under the old consti-
tuition. Boggs was very corpulent
man, and like all fat men, he was jolly,
and loved to laugh. When he laughed
it appeared to originate away down in
his stomach, or lower, and you could
see him begin to shake like great tub
of jelly, before you could hear the laugh
begin to come.
| cannot now remember what this
trial was about, but | remember just
how the litigants and their attorneys
looked. Both attorneys made speech
es, and remember hearing Johnson
remark, after Boggs had taken his seat;
II cannot understand the Judge, for
the life of me-" Then Boggs' belly be-
gan to be agitated, and soon the CUR
Cling laugh came up from the abyss be-
low.
The ntigants at trials before justices
of the peace often quarreled, and some
times fought. was at a trial before
my brother-in-law, James Kelly, who
resided on the hill just north west Of
where Portland is now situated The
trial was between Harry Sinner and
Joseph Cummins. Sinner was a large,
noisy, fussy man. Cummins was a
small, lean old man, but as W Try as q
cat, and as brave as lion They had
a terrible quarrel during the trial, and
each used every effort to get the other
to strike him. Cummins held his head
towards Shiner,and dared him to strike.
Sinner stepped back, making great Zap
parenD preparations, when persons
present interlered doubt however
whether Sinner desired very much to
engage the old man,
At one time there were numbers Of
petty prosecutions commenced before
Esq. Conner, and small fines assessed,
There was a neighborhood quarrel, and
one party would provoke another to
commit breach of the peace, and that
would lead to an arrest and fine
This would cause retaliation, and the
thing ran along in this way for weeks
The justices in those days, at whose
offices l attended trials when a small
boy, were John Horton, William Co.
mer, John Shumate, Joshua Perry
James Mcdaniel, William r, Lloyd and
John S. Stephenson. Several of these
men are dead, Mi. Conner and Mr..
Horton are yet living in Jefferson
township, and John S. Stephenson is
now an acting justice Of the peace in
Franklin township. r. ...
