spend $4,000 to enlarge the chancel Of
st. Johns Chapel to accommodate the

They now propose to spend 100000 on

SCHUYLER COLFAX
OF INDIANA.

It is done. Yesterday saw our stand
ard bearers sworn in for the official du-
ties to which they had been called by the
unanimous vote of the loyal millions oil
the-we were about to say Of the north
somehow that section north ofthe oldMason
and Dixon line is closely connected with
loyalty-but, loyal hearts east, west,
north and south, knew but one wish,
breathed but one prayer, and that was
for the triumph of the great principles for
which so many brave men went down to
sleep in the valley: the right OF man, as
MAN, to self government, and life LIBER-
rY and the pursuit of happiness" The
great party of progress, to which these
principles have been guiding star, saw
fit, and wisely, to place the helm of the
old ship in the hands of their tried SER
want and great,C captain, ULYSSES S. GRANT.
The contending elements met at the polls
in November, and the Right triumphed,
as it always will, sooner or later. Rever-
emily we say, Thank God !.........The fu-
ture is not overnight. Grave questions
are to be settled, discordant elements are
to be harmonized, the debt is to be paid,
and people already oyer-taxed but
with a clear conscience, and a consoling
knowledge of the rcctitude Of our political
intentions, good crops, Grant for Presi-
dent, and faith in God, we shall triumph
gloriously.
Gen. Grant was born on the 9th day
of April, 1922, at Point Pleasant, Cler-
mont county, Ohio, and is therefore nearly
forty.one years old. There is no occasion
for saying much about him his name is
a household word throughout the length
and breadth of the land. The people are
with him and for him. We hope to give
his inaugural message next week..

The Judicial Election.

We place at the head of our columns to-
day the names of LUTHER S. DIXON for
Chief Justice of the Supreme Court
and Captain WILLIAM WIGHAM for County
Judge of Iowa county.
We do not consider it necessary to
make any extended remarks at this time
in regard to the fitness Of these gentlemen
for the positions to which they aspire.
Judge Dixon has proved himself compe--
tent and impartial, and is regarded by the
bar of the State, independent of party, as
a sound lawyer, able jurist, and honorable
man. He will have no opposition.
Ex-Sheriff Wigham is too well known
by, and too popular with, the people Of
this county to need any introduction or
commentator. But this we will say.
He is deserving, and every way qualified
for the office for which he is q candidate.
As man he is agreeable. generous, intel
ligent, and upright. As Republican
(though we have always been opposed to
allowing politics to enter largely into judi
cial elections he is sound and true as
steel. Grant himself is not more so. As
an officer he has served faithfully and
honestly, and acquitted himself with great
credit. All-in-all, he is very popular
and good man, and we are certain that we
shall reflect the wishes of large majority
of the voters of Iowa county by raising
his name and giving him our undivided
support for County Judge.

FROM MADISON.
Women's Rights--The Female Suf-
frage Bill
MADISON, Wis, Feb. ~.

MADISON, Wis, Feb. ~.
Mrs. Stanton, Mrs. Livermore and Miss
Anthony have delivered their able and
pointed woman's rights addresses in the
Assembly chamber here, but am sorry
to know that in one case they have not
in the least helped the Assembly Female
Suffrage bill that is now staggering in the
Senate, and where, next Tuesday evening
I am not afraid to prophecy that it will
get death vote. The case is presented
by one of the Senators, who, before hear
ing the addresses, intended to vote for the
bill, but who will now oppose it, because
one of the chief arguments advanced in ia
vor of woman voting, was the necessity Of
counterbalancing the power ola foreign ell
ement that was styled ignorant and de-
PRAYED. He, as an adopted citizen, who
has literally shed his blood for his country
naturally feels indignant at the enforce
ment Of such an idea, and deems it his du-
ty and for his interest to vote against the
bill. att no 81 afa rE #
Miss Anthony, in her remarks, was al
so severe on sixteen Senators who voted
against bill giving women property-hol-
ders the right to vote at school meetings.
Miss Anthony, who, by the way, looks
sharp as scimetar and subtle as a file,
| would probably have reserved her injudi-
cious structures had she informed herself
of the fact that the Constitution of Wiscon-
sin especially prohibits any property quail
ification for voting, and that the Senator'S
in voting against bill allowing either a
man or woman to vote on such qualifca-
ton only, did the duty required Of them by
the constitution they had sworn to sup
port.
Much of what all the ladies said was
womanly, sound, elevating and true, but
there were portions of the addresses that
no politician anxious for the success of a
measure, would have given, and which
if omitted, would have left much more
favorable impression on the general mind.
regard all the ladies as formidable com.
petitors to meet with on the stump, and
if, IN the mutations of politics, should
ever chance to do SO, would much sooner
be with them than against them.

GEN. GRANT ON SUFFRAGE.-The Herald

States would ratify it. He belived that
