Mrs. Elizabeth Cady Stanton,
the editor Of the Revolution,
speaks of Susan B. Anthony, the
publisher of that incendiary sheet,
as ssthe Napoleon of the, women's
suffrage movement in this coun-
try.'' Of such women as these
the New York Star says: ''Pro-
fessional gabbists, peripatetic
scolds, whose own homes are up
side down, whose husbands are
either driven to desperation or
led sneakingly by the snuffing
nose-thesesare the so-called sWo-
men of America the agitators,
the women lowerers, the women
ISLANDERS, the women stabbers OF
New York, in the year of our
Lord, 1869. The real workers
among women have cause to thank
God every day of their lives that
women are not in place and do
not hold power; not that women
are not competent, but because
the best women are elsewhere oc-
cupied, and the worst women are
devils in temper serpents in dis
grlise, mean, cowardly, base and
cruel.' Severe, but not wholly
unjust. The mischief these stron-
minded women are doing their
sex, all for the sake of money and
notoriety, is incalculable.

AGENT.

California papers are received,
with full accounts of the recent
election in that State. The San
Francisco Herald says it was a
positive tidal wave, sweeping over
the whole coast, and leaving the
Radical party stranded and shat
tered, so that they can never
again enter into the sea of poll
tics in California. What is one
of the most observable features in
the result is that the Radical par
ty is broken into small fragments.
In the city of San Francisco it
did not emerge once from it's
SHELL, or show it's head. One
wing voted the Democratic ticket,
of the other wing vast numbers
staid away from the polls. The
party cannot in many years re-
cover such discipline as will make
it effective, without some great
over-powering blunder on the
part of it's adversaries. 1t has
fought it's last battle in California
for many a year to come; nor will
it even regain a sure foothold I'M
til it shall have changed its name
and it's principles. The Radical
Sacramento Union acknowledges
ga very general Democratic vic
tory" and the San Francisco
Morning Call independently calls
it "unprecedenteda and overwhelm-
ing" The State, it says, will
now be redistricted for members
of Congress. The Sacramento
Herald is frank enough to ac-
knowledge the overthrow of its
party.

The World does not like Carpet
Baggers, and gives them this dig:
Where the prey is, there are
the vu1tures. Those 1mpecun1-
GUS vuItures that make up the
reconstructed government of the
South are eager to have extra
sessions of the so-called Legisla-
tures-in Louisiana and Alabama
notably-not that there is any
need for such sessions, but merely
to get the big mileage and per
diem and chance to finger the
public funds. Some little in the
shape of taxes has come into the
several State treasures OF the
South since the adjournment OF
the so-called Legislatures, and
the loil are crazy to seize the
same.

THE WIDOW OF GEN. RAwL1Ns

The WIDOW OF GEN. RAwLINs
"A TOUCHING ROMANCE.-There
will be general feeling of SYM
pathy i'm the South for this aftlict-
ed lady. During the war she
resided at Vicksburg, Miss, as a
friend in the family of Mr.. Lum,
a prominent citizen of that place.
Her maiden name was Hurlburt,
if we remember correctly. She
was greatly admired and respect
ed by all of the Confederate Off
GERS who were visitors Of the
house. Pleasant and winning in
manner, the charms of her socie-
ty and her manifold courtesies
and kindness to all of them will
be remembered by those who
were among the many who were
cheered by her kindness and ele-
CANT hospitality. Among the
throng of her admirers was a
brave young officer belonging to
Withers' battalion of artillery, @.
S. A., who awakened a deeper
feeling than friendship in her who
was doomed to hear of his death
out on the lines shortly afterward,
during the last memorable siege.
When Gen. Grant, with the late
Gen. Rawlins as chief of staff, en-
tered Vicksburg, Mr.. Lum's house
was occupied. Here it was she
met her late husband, who touch
ed by her great worth and charm
ing qualities, subsequently offered
himself and was accepted. All
the Southern officers who were at
Vicksburg will bear testimony to
the undertaking courtesy of Gen.
Rawlins in his intercourse with
them, and his afflicted widow will
now have their heartiest sympa-
thy in her great bereavement.

Mr.. Bigelow succeeded the late
Henry j. Raymond as editor-in-
chief Of the New York Times.
Some of the newspapers outside
of that city have taken the liberty
of criticising Mr.. Bigelow's man
agement. They think he has not
kept the Times up to it's old stan
dard. "Minor Topics''-a column
Or so of short articles-was an
attractive feature Of the paper
under the old regime. This Mr..
Bigelow discontinued at the start.
1t was said that Mr.. e. H. House
would cease to be the dramatic
critic of the Times at the end of
last week, and that the dramatic
and musical department. was to
be dropped from the paper.

The SOUTH AND COTTON.-A
friend of the editor of the Mem
phis Appeal, writing from the
Rhine, says:
Everything connected with the
South and that tends to an in
creased production of her great
staple is matter of vast impor-
tance Oh this side, and I speak
the true sentiments Of the Eng
lish and Continental cotton man
ufacturers, with many of whom /
have lately come in contact, when
[ wish this great enterprise God
speed.
There is no country that can
supplant our own South from her
position Of Chief Cotton Commits
sary for the world, provided she
can increase her production OF
the staple, and if she can do SO
by Chinese or any other kind OF
cheap labor, crowding out compe-
tition as well in price as in quail
ty; it is manifestly her duty no
less than her interest to avail her
self of Mr.. Koopmancha's propsi-
ton.

Another Continental Line--Begin-
ming Of the Southern Pacific Rail

|
Generals Rosecrans and Sedg-
wick we're advertised in San Fran
cisco to leave that city on the 10Th
instant for San Diego, the sea-
port at the southern extremity OF
the State of California, there to
inaugurate the work on the San
Diego and Gila Railroad, and Mr..
Seward was also to be present to
assist in the ceremonies Of break
| ing ground. Funds sufficient to
build the road to the GiIa river
have been subscribed. This is
| the beginning of the Southern
continental railway line. A COM
pany, headed by General Ere
mont, has been organized East,
to begin at Memphis, Tenn, and
thence to build road southwest
wardly, through Arkansas and
Texas, to Ell Paso on the Rio
Grande, thence across the table
lands to the ella river, and down
it's valley, or near it, to a junction
with this San Diego branch.
From the Mississippi river this
is much shorter route to the
Pacific Ocean than that of the
Union Pacific road; and as it
hanks the Rocky Mountains and
the Sierra Nevada chain it may
be built all the way over the
Plains. 1t is also below the re-
gion of interrupting snows,. and
the work Of building it and Of
running it when completed may
! be continued without the stop
page of day from wintry storms.
With anything like the enterprise
which built the Union Pacific this
Southern road ought to be finish
ed within two years, for there will
be comparatively little to do in
building it, beyond marking out
the line and laying'down the ties
and rails. When finished it win
be the main line for through trav-
! ell; but there will be work enough,
| not only for two continental
roads, which will then be in ope-
ration, but for one or two more.
In the building up of half a
dozen new States the Union Pa
cific will soon be an immensely
profitable line, and so with the
Southern Pacific in tapping the
undeveloped resources Of Western
Texas and of New Mexico, and
Arizonia, and of the northern
States Of the Mexican republic,
and the vine and olive lands Of
Southern California, the most
productive in the world.
In this connection it will be
seen that General Rosecrans is in
better business than he would be
in running as the Democratic
candidate for Governor of Ohio.
General Fremont, we believe, is
now in Europe raising money for
the main line from Memphis
westward. He only asks the
right of way and certain Territo-
rial lands along the line from
Congress-; for with these and the
liberal grants offered by Texas he
calculates upon building the road
without further assistance of gov
ernment bonds. We think, too,
that on this basis the road ought
to be pushed through with out
difficulty, considering the advan-
tages of the route, the lightness
Of the work and profits sure to
follow.-NeaC York Herald.

that, Notwithstanding the enormous
