Political Disabilities.

The Wellsburg Herald. in quoting
with commentator from our editorial
article of wednesday on the subject Of
political disabilities, indulges these re-
marks:
Our views on the subject are probably
we'll enough known; at least they have
been stated often enough, and we are
sincerely pleased that similar ones are
coming into vogue among our Republi
can contemporaries. A policy of the
kind suggested would do more TO
neutraliZe the vindictive, bitter feelings
of the disfranchised masses than any
other that could be devised, and would
cripple etfectually the demagCgues, who
in the name of Democracy arc con
stantly appealing to and stirring up
that bitter feeling OF vindictiv v9ness TO
accomplish their own promotion and
purposes. 1t is now about all their
stock.
1t should always be borne in mind, rs
has been suggested, that these measures
of Disfranchisement were measures of
self-prOtection,in in war times, never pun
ishment for offences committed. On
this theory, both the enactment and the
repeal are justitiable, even in the eyes
OF those upon whom they bear most
heavily.
AS to the Constitutional Amends
ments, while there are certainly incon-
gruitieS enough to be recti6ed, the un-
dertaking to rectify them now, by con-
vention, is in our opinion of doubtful
propriety. Five years hence will be time
enough.

BROOKLYN Academy of Music yesterday.
From II report of the Secretary 1t ap'
pears that during the past year contri-
buttons to the amount of So. $50 were
received, and $50. 200 expended. Rev.
DR., Leonard Bacon was reelected Pres.
ident, The evening meeting was large
lv attended, and addresses were deltv-
cred by Rev. Ray Palmer and T. Dewitt
Tallmadge.
At an evening session of the Equal
Rights Association, held at Cooper In
stitute, Mrs. L. g. Stanton presiding,
there was fair attendance. Interesting
addresses were made by Madame An
neka, German, and Madame De Hari
cant. a French lady. Mrs. Ernest1ne
Rose said she did not think the present
name of the association sufficiently ex-
pressive of its objects, and proposed II
be called the Woman's Suffrage Asso-
citation. The proposition elected good
deal of discussion, but was finally al
lowed to drop without any definite ac-
ton having been taken upon it. Sub
seouently speeches were made in favor
of Woman's Rights by Mrs. DR.. Black

Early yesterday morning Deputy
Sheriff Van Bruhland, q private watch
man, uet6CLeu luEe6 thieves SlSAlIuE

dock. in Hoboken, and fired four shots
at them. One of the thieves was seen
to fall into the water and sink. The
others escaped, but shortly returned,
probably to look for their companion.
They were again fred upon, when one
was heard to exclaim, II am shot"
They again escaped.
U. s. Marshal Barlaw expresses the
opinion that no regular organized,
armed and equipped expedition has sail
ed from this port for Cuba, since the
commencement of the Cuban troubles.
He believes that many men since the
commencement of the insurrection
have taken passage from this port for
Cuba, perhaps to assist the rebels, aud
much war material!has also been.shipp..
ed to the island; but the men all
went ostensibly as passengers, and war
material ostensibly as freight iregularly
consigned; that most of the men went
singly or in small parties, and the war
material WAS sent in small guam
titles by various vessels, and that
is all the truth there is in the sensation
reports about Cuban expeditions.

OF Nelson Campbell, who lives near
Glover's Gap, in this county, met with
a frightful accident by which she is
crippled for the remainder OF her life.
It appears that the child, who Is but six
years of age, was playing in the yard
with her brother, who is one year her
senior, and by chance they found an ak
commenced to amuse themselves; the
the little girl selected stick and held
1t on the ground, while the brother used
the az in cutting little bits off the end,
and in making II stroke the ak glanced
and struck the child's wriet. severing
the hand at the wrist joint. DR.. F. A.
Rymer, of Warrington, was called, and
after the wound was dressed the little
sufferer rested easier, and at last ac-
counts was doing we'll. This is GER
