woMAS suffrage met with a sad rebuff
from the Massachusetts Senate. Only
nine Senators out of thirty-oue came
out in favor Of the feminine doctrine.
We fear the ladies have been neglecting
this fruitful field. lie, Boston be imme-

the Women's Rights Conventions for
years to come be held somewhere in the
Old Bay State. Without this, women
can never have any rights; for until
they secure respectable recognition at
home, all their expeditions into other
lands will avail not.

How GENERAL GRANT WAS MIsTAKES
IN An APPoISrMEST.-A story which is
told about town will show how little
the President really knows whom he
appoints or 1t is said that the
Hon. ]. C. Hawley, Radical member
from the Fourth District, waited on the
President some time ago with the nn-
uouncement that he had come TO talk
q little about the appointments in his
district" The President said that he
was very willing to Nccede to the
wishes Of his friends; but, said he,
" Mr.. Hawley, there is one reques, you
must not make. | do not want to
remove jack G%rimshaw, Collector of
your District. He is good Republican
and an honest man, aud viii not have
him disturbed" Then says Mr.. Haw-
ley" Well, Mr.. President, | will no,
ask you to disturb Mr.. Grimshsw, for
the very good reason that YOU removed
him from office ten days since, and
appointed his successor, who has been
confirmed by the Senate. Chicago

THE MoRaoSs.-A correspondent of
the San Francisco Chroniei. writes from
Salt Lake on the subject of "sIncestu.
Gus Marriages." as follows:
Not alone is the evil of polygamy
confined to the sundering Of ties and
to the destruction of the fine feelings Of
the heart. Its evil influence extends to
the health os the body and mind of the
coming generations. If we credit the
asssrtious'of men of science, if we be-
lieve that marriages of blood relatives
bring i'll on the children of such unions,
the assertion Of the existence of this
evil among this people cannot bedenied.
| Men have been pointed out to me, who
have for their wives two sisters, and
they have raised children By both.
Another case was broughtto my notice,
| where the three wives Of Il man were q
| mother and her two daughters. Another
man was pointed out as the husband
of his half sister, she being the
daughter of his father by another wo-
man. Such eases, rs those quoted
above, are not rare they are common.
Who shall undertake to say, or even
imagine, what the final result Of such
licentious and incestuous marriages
will be on the coming generations
Who shall say what the result will be
il this custom continues if the Nor
mons are allowed to make women OF
less account than their beasts OF bur-
den, caring for them only in the ratio
Of the children they bring into the
world? All men must marry who be-
long to the church, MS soon ms they ar
rive at a proper age. The young meu,
as well as maidens. are taught TO be
strictly virtuors.

YOUNG MEMS PARTY.

At meeting of young men, OF which
| the son of ex- Governor Brown was Chair.
man, held at the House of Representa-.
tives last night, committee of five were
appointed to prepare an address to the
young men of the State, looking to their
representation in the Convention. :
Ndshriile special to the Sun.
This idea of a young mems party orig
mated, we believe, in the ingenious
brain of the blatherskite editor of the
Nashville Banner, who is continually
prsting about young politicians. The
object of calling on the young men
throughout the State, only urging
them to look to their representa-
ton in the Convention, is rather q
novel suggestion. We have never heard
of age being made test before,
save with candidates for matrimony, and
as we propose to send married men
to the Convention from this section, it
will scarcely be necessary to heed the
young men's call. The required ages in
this part of tie State for politicians we
understand to be between twenty-one aud
thousand years. IL a man was over a
thousand years old we might object to
his being o candidate, but would not
compromise on a minute less. The
kind Of delegates wanted, in the
Convention to assemble, are those
with brains. it matters not whether
