Woman Suffrage In Missouri.

81. Louis has live Woman's Suffrage As.
socis,ion. The Democrat Of Monday Occur
pies two or three columns with . report Of
its meeting held on Saturday. A letter from
the City Assessor was read showing that the
property listed and taxed in the city belong>
ing to women, is assessed at $l4,499, 1870,
representing over two thousand tax pairing
women. Letters we're read from various
prominent individuals. DR.. Crary, editor Of
The Central Christian Adrocats, writes:
"My convictions in favor os granting the
suffrage to women have deepened from year
to wear. shall advocate the measure, and
contribute in every way can to iss success"
Hon. J. H. Sturgeon sent lengthy letter
strongly advocating the reform and replying
to various objections urged against ii. In
relation 10 the popular objection that for wo-
pool Of politics and make her as bad ~ some

snow If this objection be reasoned out ii
amounts to just this that the law>making
power must be kept in the hands Of :hose
bad, corrupt men, and that pure, good wo>
mar must not come in to take part for fear
she becomes as bad as the men. say to al
men that this is just the element W need 10
lift our politics out Of the mirs and give to
them that purity which every intelligent nan

danger of women beng degraded or Injured.
She viii elevate and give rs . purer and
higher order Of representation in all branch
es of the government, and vice and brutality
in all its forms will vanish before her pure
and humane power. It is, in my opinion,
the element we need to engraft intD our Po>
litical system at the earliest possible day, for
! feel that unless the engrafiing of this pure
element into our elective franchise shall re-
generate us, our form of government is in
danger of perishing. Ny own convictions
are that nothing but untold blessings will
aow from according to woman this right.
and that it will both ennoble her and man"

"MrLEs O'REILLr's" PoExs.-General
Halpine's sad and sudden death has given
m increased interest to has writings, which
in themselves are worthy Of note. Not By
birth son of this country, he became 50
thoroughly such by his own acceptance Of
her faith, aud his brave and enthusiastic de-
Tense of her flag, that he seems to belong to
US. 1t has been many times and yariously
said that the songs Of country are of more
importance than Its laws, aud perhaps Miles
O'Reilly's loyal songs did more to mould the
sentiment Of the people during the war than
can be measured. Il is said that "Sambo' 8
Right to be Kilt" effected an astonishing
change in the prejudice Of the Irish against
the negro, and made possible the admission
Of black soldiers into an army in which SO
many were Irish. Some of the poems iu
this volume are SO de!irately beautiful and
show SO much true poetic genius, that We
can but regret that General Halpine had
not devoted himself with more sarnestness
to its cultivation. This volume win bs to
his many friends . pleasant reminder of his
kindliness, his gentle consideration, and bis
faithful frendship.-BooK TABLE, Ha,pe, IS

Supreme j Judicial Court.

OCTOBER TERM-TAPLEY, j., PRESIDING,
FRIDAY.-No. 365-Benjamin +. Wentworth
v. Hartford Fire Insurance Co. Action upon
contract of insurance upon stock of goods
in the sum of $4,000, in a store at South Linn
ington, in York County, from the LIST of March,
1867, to the 1st of March, 1868. The goods in
sured, together with the store in which they
were kept, were burned on the 10th day OF
May, 1867. The case was tried at the last
April term; verdict $1825 20; set aside by full
court on motion, and is now being tried Sec
ond time. All the facts necessary to entitle
the plaintiff to recover were supported by evil
dence and admitted by the defendants attor
ney, except only the single ground relied upon,
fraudulent generalization of the goods in the
proofs of loss ''-an oves-estimate in guam
tity and price. There is a clause in the policy
that If the assured in written or verbal ap-
plication makes any erroneous representation,
the policy shall be void. The store for some
sixteen months and more before the fire had
been carried on by brother of the plaintiff
Henry Wentworth, as agent, who had full con-
troll in the purchases and sales and matter OF
insurance, under a very general authority and
ratification by plaintiff, who lives at Naples
in Cumberland County, some miles away from
the store. Henry says he understood the Co.'s
agent to reqnire of him a "new account o,
stock" once in three months; that with that
understanding he commenced to take an ac-
count about the LIST of May, and had got it
nearly completed, having upon it list of all
the goods excepting those in the cellar and
chamber; that this account was taken on
sheets; that from these sheets the statement OF
loss was copied and furnished the defendants;
that when these were called for by the defend
ants at the former trial, he certainly believed
he could produce them, but after the most
careful search is unable to find them and
knows not what became of them.
The defendants charge that his story about
the new account of stock" and miss ing sheets
is fabrication, and that the store did not con-
tain goods to one-half the amount insured or
one-third the amount returned in the proofs OF
loss.
Numerous witnesses testified on both sides,
and full history of the store transactions for
two years was elected.
This jury found for the plaintiff damages,
$2O6225
Defendants file motion to set aside the ver-

BRIEF JoTTINGs-It was mild and damp
yesterday until evening when rain began to
fall.-The receiving ship Vandalia is to be sent
to this port to receive seamen who are to be en-
listed here.-We are glad to learn that the M.
l.. A. have engaged Wyzeman Marshall and
young lady, a dramatic pupil of his of great
ability, to give dramatic readings for one of the
entertainments of their course.-Our readers
will be pleased to know that the Thomas Con-
cert was not losing speculation, and that Mr..
Thomas was so much pleased with the Port
land audience that he intends giving another
concert 10 about three weeks.-The fence that
enshrouded the post Office has been taken
down, and the noble proportions of the build
ing stand revealed.-A great ventilator was
hoisted on to the post office to-day, and a wag
inquired if that was the funnel to be used in
filing the Postmaster's demijohn.-It is now
understood that John, or Noah the I'd, is an
Italian Count in Disguise and that be has some
three hundred dollars or more in the savings
baut.-We are having very high and low tides
in the harbor now. Yesterday the cellars Of
the stores in the Thomas Block were inupdat.

To OUR Cry FATHERS We have a request
to make of our City Government in which we
feel confident we shall be supported by all OF
our citizens 1t is that screen shall be put
up in front of the entrance to the hall in the
City Building. 1t is a wonder that there are
not more people made sick by occupying seats
on line with the door, or just behind it. On
the evening of performance the door is con-
tinualIy opening or shutting to admit, or let
out people, and the draft is so strong that it
blows the feathers on the hats of ladies sitting
quite distance off. Now this evil can be rem
eded by movable screen to be attached to
the gallery Just in front of the door, which can
be removed when the hall is not in use for a
public performance. Any arrangement like
an inner door would be of no avail as it would
present no obstacle to the draft, but the screen
would be a perfect protection. We hope our
city fathers will Immediately take the ma tier
into consideration and they will earn the
heartfelt gratitude of the amusement going

Our Horse.Cars,

To The Editor Of the PTess:
In behalf of number of our citizens we take
the liberty of asking an insertion of this article
in your columns as we know of no other means
by which we can more readily state, what has
become crying evil, to the Directors of the
Horse Railroad Company, and urge their at
tention to the same. We first would ask if it
is absolutely necessary that the cars, especial
ly in the evening should be driven at such
high rate of speed that, before pedestrians
can get from their front doorstep to the curb
stone to signal driver, the car will be too far
ahead to make Signals of any avail. We have
seen other ladies, and we have experienced the
same misfortune ourselves, strive earnestly to
catch the attention of the driver and perhaps
succeeded at last only to experience the pleas
ant sensation of wading nearly knee deep in
mud before they could get safely aboard. Our
second grievance is the small car nuisance
which carry no conductors. Unless passen-
ger, or rather a wOuld-be passenger, has the
good fortune to be in front of the car as it ap-
proaches she may give up all hopes Of ride.
Tho driver has, or ought to have, all he can do
to look out for his horse without having a con-
ductor's duties to pc rform also. 1t is no doubt
cheaper in one seuse to run a small car with
only one horse and no conductor, but we are
certain that great deal of money is lost by
over-crowding the car and cheating the COM
pany out of their fares by many Of the passen-
gers. We know this latter case to be the fact
We have seen the small cars crowded with
thirty or forty passengers on stormy night
not few of whom did not put ticket or a
cent of m oney in the box.
We mention these facts with the hope that
the Directors will take some steps to remedy
the evil We are aware that the Superin.en-
dent seems to be anxious to do all he can to
accommodate the public, one instance of which
was the arrangement for the convenience OF
the concert-gosrs on Thursday night. By SO
doing they will earn the everlasting gratitu de
of MANY LADIES
