sg- The Waterbury Ame,ican answers
 what we should call the spherical argument against woman's suffrage. in the following nest style:-
 The great question for him, who would honestly consider this subject is: If the rights of women are not, or should not be, equal to those of men, how much less are they, and who has the authority to fix the limit? Different nations have had differ ent views on this subject, and the remark has become trite, but none the less true. that a nation condition can be judged by it's treatment of women. We can see our own advance over past ages, and naturally knowing of no better or higher, we .consids CT ourselves the acme of civilization; but it is more than probable that future gene- rations will look upon us as we look upon the lark. There was time when women were decried. by the lords of creation as mentally inferior, but the many names of those distinguished in literature, art, gov ernment aud science, has silenced this Cry
 The names of Browning, Herschel, Marti neau, De Stael, Stowe, Dodge, Hosmer, and hundreds of others as learned, as bril- liant, as successful as any men in. similar branches-have taught the world a differ ent story. Woman has advanced with civ ilization from being considered an inferior being, a plaything or a slave, nearly to 8 social position of equality with man. This is now considered liner spherc:"y Venera- ble !" John Todds" tell us her mission is 8 purely domestic one, her chief duty to stay at home and rear up children, that her nature will not admit of her having | anything to do with public questions-that she goes out of her "'sphere" when she dares to express an opinion on politics. But who sets the boundary over, which it
 is unwomanly to step? As the customs of different nations assign her to different stations, sometimes beast of burden, sometimes a slave, sometimes limited to the four walls of a harem, sometimes Q clerk, or cashier, 2or post-mistress- how shall we know that the limits zoe assign her are the true ones? We believe the day is very near when our nation will admit that justice knows no sex-that the rights of women are equal with those of men that arbitrary exclusion on account of sex. is but an application of the law of brute force, unworthy free, civilized and en- llghtened race. .t4 fssE5 ssxS9.a

the papers are so continually mentioning
as q part of u population ? I have
seen q yellow fellow" occasionally,
and have "heard tell" of the "yaller
gal" Go about the lunch houses and
you will see 3 " red-fseed F" man now and
then bat a green, blue, indigo or violet
colored man we hardly eve see these
prosperous times. With the greatest
Difference, then, [ would suggest that

Of the individual alluded to in future.
1t cannot be possible that the negro is

1T will be remembered by the readers
OF the APPEAL that Mr.. POLLARD, the

statement to the effect hat the most i'm
portant Of tbs archives Of the Coincide
rate Government were, by direction Of
ex-President DAVIS, hidden somewhere
known only to himself and the persons
employed in the work. A correspondent
name not given) of q Southern psper
denies this, and says that he himself had
under his immediate control the most
general, important and interesting ar
chives. Ia them was embraced the en-
tire political history Of the Contederaey,
from its beginning at Montgomery to
the disastrous close at Richmond. The
Confederate Congress had left it
to ex-President DAVIS to say when,
how and where these archives
should bs moved. Upon applica-
ton to Mr.. DAVIS, a few days pre-
vious to the surrender, as TO what dispo-
sition should be made of them, nothing
wcs done at that time; but on the sun
day following, the papers were packed
and went on the train with the fugitive
cabinet. There they we're lost sight of,
and the writer believes they are at pres
ent in Washington.
