BEN. BuTLER's PuGNAcITY finds vent in q
proposition favoring declaration of war with
Great Britain. 1t is urged upon the ground of
policy-Inercenary considerations-or or drawing
it mider--on the score of economy. The con-
test would be almost entirely confined to the
sea, and as the trade and commerce of Eng
land would be destroyed, ours would be in the
same ratio, built up. II is q little difficult to
see how this could be carried on wholly on
one slde--that all the damage would be sus-
tanned by our opponents, while all the benefits
and advantages would be reaped by US. 1t is

forcible as to endangor the amicable relations

THE WoMAN's RIaHTs DocTRINE--about
which we have said little or nothing, willing
that, like many other things in this world, it
should play its full part in contributing TO our
enjoyment--is viewed in very sensible light
by our Senator SHERMAN, who writes to n
Woman's Equal Rights Association that he
has always favored the most liberal laws for
woman's rights, so far as property, business
omploynents liberty and social position are
concerned, but does not believe women or
society would bo Improved by giving them the
ballot; certainly he would not favor that untll
u majority of the women concur in demanding

work for women is among their own sex, as
"they now make the fashions and customs
which ostraclse 80 many of their own sex from
healthy and useful employments, promote cx.
travngance In dress, and make marriage dan
gerous experiment for young men without
means" In that reform the Senator sympa.

go for H. but his fear is shat the right to vote
would tend to disturb the harmony of society,

The Toledo Commercial, copying
what we had to say regarding the pro-
posei extension Of the broad gauge, via
Sandusky and Toledo, adds:
The HeraM evidently regards the pro-
posed Tifln and Crestline Road as the
rival of the Cleveland Broad Gauge ;
whereas the two are distinct and in the
hands OF entirely different parties. The
construction of the Lake Shore line
would tend TO promote the other, which
looks to connection with the Pittsburgh
q Fort Wayne and not the Atlantic &
Great Western Toledo, while preferr-
ing n moro direct line to coal than that
to Cleveland if but one is to be built,
would prefer that the two be built.
Hence, we hope to see the agreement for
the Lake Shore Road carsied ont.

FRED. DOUGLASS, JR colored black, is u
printer, and was assigned, lately, case in the
Government Printing Office, but the compost
ors of that office belong TO an Association, and
that body refused to admit young Douglass, as
a member, and therefore Superintendent CLAPP
was constrained TO refuse him work. We
know nothing of Mr.. Douglass personal or
moral habits but if they are not of as high a
standard as The white members of the craft
generally, they were perhaps justified in ex-
Guiding him, and il they are of higher stand

The Portrait Gallery of the Govern.
ment of Ohio.

Governor Hayes deserves credit for
his efforts to collect the portraits OF the
Governors Of Ohio, and preserve them
IN their proper room at the State Cspitol.
While in Columbus, n few weeks ago, Me
spent an hour looking at these pictures.
Those which have not yet been furnish
ed are: Saint Clair, Wor:hington, Eth
an Allen Brown, Lucas, Wilson Shannon,
Bebb, Ford, MedilI, Chase, Dennison
and Cox. Most OF the likeuesses ara
well painted; the very worst is that of
Joseph Vance. Tod's "cagle eye" and
Neapoleonic lock in the center OF his
forehead reveal the vanity of the man,
pow that he no longer lives to exhibit
it. Titlln and MeiGs are elaborately
dressed, like gentleman of the old school,
as they were: Morrow's portrait pro.
claims the study, solid character he had
earned. lie looks ike a Presbyterian
ruling elder, except that there is no trace
of bigotry in his face That of Near.
thur is the best executed picture in the
room. He is painted in the uniform be
wore while sitting with n court-martial
in Albany during the war of 1912.
Trunblc is plausible man who takes
things BY the smooth handle, and his
picture shows it. Vance, on canvas, is
himself-a Champion County farmer, of
good sense and good principles, who
rose, not by The arts OF popularity, but
by strength of character. lie contrasts
With Trumble just rs Morrow is a con.
trast with Tod. Mordeeai Barley has
the appearance of respectable man
who had read the National lntelligencer
regularly, and followed Joseph Gales in
full assurance Of faith. Reuben Wood's
portrait is good one, except, of course
being bust picture--it can give no idea
of his tall stature. His kindly heart aud
clear mind are reflected truly, and SO,
ulso, his inhrmity of will Corwin's pic.
ture had not eher been furnished. We
understand that II was to he painted
from likeness made in the Iast year of
his life. This a mistake lie should bo
handed down as he appeared in ls4O,
when his fame was that of the best
stump-speaker in the world, lie was
irresistible then. In his old age he
grew lazy aud his features were those
Of man who loved to take his ease.
