We take back whatever we may have indis-

logical faculty. The ladies of the bureau
seem to have great deal more logical force
than they have any use for, and last Tuesday
they argued Cor rather didn't argue) the fe-
male warrior question with a surprising
wealth of invincible demonstration. Mrs.
President Henry b. Stanton for instance
showed:-
l. That there were a great number of fe-
male warriors in blouses and pantaloons in
our army during the Rebellion; but, 50 soon
as their sex was discovered, they were
drummed out of the ranks without any pay.
2. That notwithstanding the pugnacity
thus exhibited, women, when they became
voters, would be all for peace, and ''men
would no longer go out like wild beasts to tear
each others eyes out.
Does the lovely and logical President really
think that ''gouging" is recognized military
operation? We beg permission to ask, if
there is to be no war any more, of what use
will be the splendid military ability which it
Is Just discovered that woman Possesses? On

CUBA AND HER ALLIES.
Fronl Tie N. Y. Sun.

from the N. 4. sun.
The importance to the patriot cause in Cuba
of the recognition of its republican govern
ment, not only as belligerent but as afriend,
by Peru and Chill, appears to us not to have
been sufficiently weighed by those who have
commented upon it, The very wording of the
second article of the decree by which the Ex-
ecutiye of Peru proclaims the will and inten-
ton OF his people is highly significant 1t
reads, THE citizens, ships, and other pro
perties of Cuba which may serve the cause of
independence shall be considered as friends
of Peru"
The actual relations between Spain and
Peru prior to the publication of this decree
were those of suspended hostility, renewable
at the convenience of either party; and we
presume the Peruvian Republic considered
well the responsibilities of her position be-
fore thus casting her sword into the scale in
favor of the struggling patriots of Cuba.
If, as would appear TO be inevitable, active
hostlities are forthwith renewed by Peru
against Spain, or 0ice 0erSa, the assistance
which the former may render to Cuba may be
