The jackson (MIss) Clarion has the fol-

son the 18th ult we published series of
resolutions adopted by the Board of Trustees of
the Orphans Home, expressing their dsap-
proval of the efforts of certain parties in New
York to secure certain lottery franchise by the
payment of $4,000 into the State Treasury for
the benefit of the Orphans Home. Just prior to
the time mentioned a representative of the New
York parties had made formal tender of the
money to the State Treasurer, who de-
clined to receive it, under instructions from
General Ames-the latter emphatically endorsing
on the application his disapproyal of lottery
schemes, even when conducted Ostensibly in the
interest of orphans. The New Workers, how
ever were not to be foiled in their benevolent
efforts in behalf of the children at Lauderdale
Springs, and have actually secured from General
sherman an order directing our State Treasurer
to receive the money when rendered This order
with the money, is now at Columbus, and will be
here in few days. In this attitude of the case
the trustees will, of course, accept the $4,000 for
the benefit of the Home. 1t will be paid into the
State Treasury for that purpose, and can be ap-
piled only in that behalf"

A POLITICAL view OF THE WO-
MANS QUESTION.

WHITTIER has gone into the womans rights
business. as was manifested by letter, pub
lished by us day or two ago, which he ad-
dressed to the convention of termagants now
in session at Newport. The great Quaker
noet thinks that lit is always safe to do right,
and that 'the truest expediency is simple
Justice" From all of which he infers that
''when the vote drops from womans hand
into the ballot-box, the beauty and sentiment,
the bloom and sweetness of womanhood,
will not go with it, This is about the truth
of the matter, albeit in different sense from
that conceived by the poet. If woman could
drop into the ballot-box, along with her vote,

THE NEW SOUTHERN ia CTTCS

The Louisville COu1jer-JOuTndI, which is
one of the ablest, as we'll as one of the
most earnest of the organs of the Demo-
cracy, and intensely anxious to reconstruct
triumphant semi-Rebel Democratic party,
warns its Southern readers of the dangers
of premature display of the old banners of
the organization. 1t plainly tells them that
it is their duty to fight as bushwhackers,
creeping behind stone fences, and skulking
through the woods, clad in such question
able garb that no man can tell positively
what cause they desire to serve, or whether
they are really seeking anything more sub
stantial than a quiet days shooting They
are to be conservatives or national Republi-
ans, Walker men in Virginia, Senterites in
Tennessee, Dentists in Mississippi, Hamilto-
mans in Texas, and lovers of equal rights
and impartial suffrage" everywhere, until
'they are safe at home beyond the reach
of the Congressional body-snatchers. Then
after the Southern Republican organizations
are thoroughly disintegrated, and the freed
men bewildered, the gray uniforms can be
donned once more, and the bushwackers can
again take rank as ''the pride and glory of
national Democracy" So runs the new book
of party tactics. Some of the recruits are
refractory, and the force Of habit instinctively
compels them to shoulder arms and discharge
their muskets in the old way but discipline
will be maintained nevertheless, and if the
Republicans hope for future ascendancy in
the South they must prepare to counteract
the new system of operations.

womanhood if she could inspire the politics
of the country with a measure of her bloom
and sweetness, il would be all very we'll, and
the experiment of female suffrage would be
well worth the trial. But the great danger
lies Just here: when our wives, mothers,
sisters, and daughters start for the polls,
there is great danger that they will follow the
example of their husbands, fathers, brothers,
and sons and leave their beauty and senti-
ment their bloom and sweetness, behind
them, and that the eternal order and fitness
of things will not remain undisturbed save
by the episodical apparition, here and there,
of an equivocal, unsexed Chevalier Deon.
But after all, the whole problem of the JUS
tice and expediency of placing the ballot in
the hands of woman, viewed from tho
womanly standpoint, is happily summed up
by the Quaker poet in the following sentence:
-''It is her right, as we'll as mine; and aohen
size asks for 1t, it is something less than man
hood to withhold it." Whenever the true
women of the country, the thinking and rea-
soning women, demand the ballot, they will
stand fair chance of getting it. But as long
as the agitation of the question is confined to
the ranks of the Anthonys, Stantons, Dickin-
sons, and others of that ilk, we are not dis
posed to follow Whittier when he goes over to
the enemy
One more noticeable point is made by the
poet, and that is contained in these lines:-
unsupported by more practical education,
higher aims, and deeper sense of the re-
sponsibility of life and duty, it is not likely
to prove a blessing in her hands any more
than in minors" The female suffragists here
have their full duty presented. Let them
turn their present attention to remedying the
educational, social, and moral deficiencies of
the mass of their fellow-women, and when
they have accomplished something substan-
tial in this direction, they will be at liberty
to agitate the suffrage question with show
of reason and prospect of ultimate success.
