tee Of the Massachusetts Legislature on the suit
iect of woman suffrage made repor, TO the
Senate on Friday, signed by nine Of the ten
members composing it. The report examines the
subject at length, giving history Of the recent
movement, and stating some of the anticipated
results with the arguments for and against wo-
mar suffrage. The report concludes with the
recommendation Of an amendment of the Consti-
tuition to secure suffrage to women The article
Of amendment, which must past two successive
Legislatures and be approved by the people, in
order to take effect, Is as follows:
The word male Is hereby striker from the
third article Of the amendment Of the Constitu-
ton. Hereafter, women Of this Commonwealth
shall have the right Of voting at elections, and
be eligible to Office upon the same terms, c5ndi-
tons. and qualifications, and subject to the same
restrictions and disabilities as male citizens Of
this Commonwealth now are, and 10 others.
