WONIAN'S RIGHTS.

Ladies Make n Raid.


Ladies Make Raid.
JoneSviue (Hich.) Cor. Detroit Advertiser.
A secret society OF about 100, comprising most Of
the leading respectable women OF the village, has
been silently formed during the past spring, without
the knowledge of the other SEX for the purpose OF
taking measures to resist the evil influence of liquor
and gambling saloons. There are ten places here
where intoxicating drinks are sold including two
hotels and two drug stores The temperance lee
lures of "the Buckeye Broad Axe" had produced
much excitement here and the close of one OF these
lectures on Wednesday evening at 10 O'Clock fur
seventy to eighty Of these ladies, without the know
ledge OF any out of the society, left the lecture hail.
and silently marched to and entered one OF the bill
lard saloons. One OF the two ladies appointed to
speak quietly addressed the keeper saying that they
had in behalf of themselves and other ladies to
bear their testimony against the business OF the sa-
loon as injurious to themselves and their families
leading their husbands, fathers and sons into idle
and disspated habits and ruin and respectfully ask
ing for their sakes and the sake of society, that he
desist from the business and follow some other
Calling The phalanX then left and pro-
ceeded in a body to the other billiard sa-
loon and to one OF the hotels, uttering
limilar remonstrances and requests as before,
and then adjourned until O'Clock p. NJ on Thurs
day, when they formed in body, and proceeded to
the other quor-seling establishments, giving utter
ance therein to the same requests. This was the
grand army movement. On Friday and Saturday
we hear of occasional skrmshes made by companies
and platOOns, giving occasional calls. The exact pro-
gramme to be pursued by this society is unknown
to the other sex, only as it deveOpes in open acts
The effect upon saloon and grocery men was various
The ladies exhibiting no Violence most OF the keep
ers were gentlemanly in their answers and bearing.
Some stood pale and stolid some acknowledged
their occupation shameful and wished themselves out
of it some admitted the crime against their race,
but had felt obliged to go into it to save their busi
ness as others had done so some promised to leave
it as soon as they rcOud, with other apologies and
replies Probably these keepers will never be put
through more searching ordeal than that OF meet
ing these earnest women. Only two of the men
treated the ladies with indigny; one OF them wrote
an insulting letter. Notwithstanding the various
opinions on this subject the facts develop an ire
sstibe power in firm, dignifed, undaunted union
of the fair sex; that the sober Intelligent, and re-
sionate wel-directed and persistent efforts, oft re-
peated have greater power than all the liquor laws
ever enacted,

Horrible Scenes and Occurrences in the Illi-

Horrible Scenes and Occurrences in the Illi-
nOis State PenitcntiHry.
From the Joliet Signal, June s.
About ten days ago quarrel took place between
two COnViCts while their way to the quarries with
a gang from the prison under charge of guards,
which resulted in desperate fight with knives. Both
the combatants were wounded, and one OF them so
severely that he died on the following day.
But the boOdiest ARRAY yet occurred on last Thurs
day. AS the COnvicts were sitting down to dinner
quarrel occurred between two large and powerful
men. A few words passed. when both parties drew
forth large sharp-ponted knives and most terrific
and deadly struggle ensued They fought the entire
length OF of the long tables stabbng and striking
alternately, and We're not separated until they had
begun to fail from the loss of blood. The floor and
tables were bespattered with blood, and the
scene was one long to be remembered. They
were both taken TO the hospital and one of them eX
pired in five minutes His body exhibited no less
than half~a-dozen fatal stabs The other was dan
gerously wounded, but survives yet An inquest
was held over the body of the dead man by Coroner
Reese, but the jury could not agree upon verdict
Such is the condition Of affairs existing at present
in the Illinois State Penientiary. There is no sort
of discipline. The conVcts are allowed free license
to do as they please They knock down the guards
at pleasure, and commit murder among themselves
And what is unheard Of in prison discipline, more
than Onehalf OF the cOnvcts are armed with knives
and murderous weapons. This being the case, an
open revolt and the murder OF scores of innocent
men is momentarily expected. When we remember
that there nearly twelve hundred desperate men
confined in the penitentlary for crimes OF various
grades, and that more than one-haf OF them are
armed with deadly weapons we cannot help trem-
expected

THE FLORIDA RELEASED AND PUTS OFF TO SEA-
Considerable excitement was occasioned about
month since by the announcement of the detention
Of the Florida at Chester Pa. This vessel was de-
tanned from the fact that she suspected Of having
been purchased 10y the Cuban patriots to be used in
their effort to secure their freedom. For month
past she has been lying at the works OF Reaney,
Archambault & Co., under the surveillance of the
revenue cutter William II. Seward, the commander
OF which had orders TO detain her until further
orders Her owners have been able TO satisfy the
Government that her destination was not Cuba, but
her value that such is her course. Yesterday the
orders for her release received and at she
steamed down the river. II the bond is evaded the
Government, under the present International law,
can seize her in any port in the world.

GEARY.

s 6eeae enia hns na1sr GSv
Washington despatch OF June 10 stated that
Governor Geary was to succeed Mr.. Borie within
thirty days Secretary of the Navy. The State
Guard OF yesterday, journal edited by Wien Forney,
State Librarian, appointed by Geary, publishes a
statement which may be regarded an authorita-
tive denial coming from the Governor himself. From
1t we take the followng:-
We are authorized to pronounce this report en-
trey unfounded. President Grant has not rendered
Governor Geary any position whatever, nor has the
Governor asked for any position in the gift of the
President 1t is true that these two gentlemen had
private interview in Washington on Wednesday,
but it related entirely to private matters; the con-
versation OF friendly nature and no possible
interest to the public.
Governor Geary has long been a warm friend of
General Grant, and his feeling OF friendship for the
President has been fully recprocated. He has not
asked for any appointment, and is not now an appl
cant for any office at Washington His position q
candidate for the Gubernatorial denomination in
pennsylvania is well known to the people, and in
around loose, in waiting for any opportunity that
may turn up His delegates elected with the full
understanding that he will go before the people for
reelection to the chair which he now fills, and they
intend to nominate him in the convention in Phila-
delphia on the 23d OF this month.
The report that he is applicant for or has been
rendered position in the Cabinet is falsehood cut
out Of the whole cloth, and industrousy circulated
few days before the State Convention for the pur-
pose OF hoodwinking the people and confusing the
delegates instructed for him. But it will fail utterly
IN accomplishing the purpose for which it was
originated. A sufficient number of delegates have
already been instructed for Geary to secure
his nomination. He has very few enemies;
but these few actuated by the certainty OF
his nomination, and Strengthened in their
means and resources for CARRYING ON any further on
position, have now resorted to this miserable eXpe-
dent of defeating the will of the people by attempt
ing to confuse the councils OF his friends Stand firm,
and beware OF sensational reports expressly cacu-
lated to inJure his well-deserved prospects. John
W. Geary is candidate for but one position, and
failing in that-of which there is no possible likeli-
hood-he will be found in the ranks aboring as
Zealousy for the election OF the fortunate nominee
as any man in the Republican party.
