advocate and agent Of social reform and
advancement. After all that is said, the rear
issue involved in this election Is SIMPLY
whether or not women shall have a larger liberty
10 do good, and that they may be so far enfIan-
clrsed ought to be the wish of every true man and
woman. There is little doubt that the medical
practitioners who oppose the admission OF wo-
men To the clinics will take advantage at the
philadelphia election of the votes OF their
children, and perhaps their wives. Let the
women and children who favor the admission
of womcn-students see that their votes are not
uncounted on the other side. And since they
cannot vote by proxy, let them be sure to at
tend the election on Monday.
We have examined with care two pamphlets
nut forth anonymously in the interest OF those
who oppose the admission of the women, ana
have searched them in vain for plausible ar
gument. There are many mistatements OF facts
evident TO the most casual reader. Beyond GER
tain weak efforts at satire, in which neither
wit nor point is apparent, and great deal OF
abuse Of the Quaker gentlemen who nave long
managed and largely supported the Pennsyi-
vania Hospital, we can find nothing that de-
serves to be stated or is worthy OF reply.
Very few of the large-minded persons VINO
were wise enough to direct their charity to the
noble purpose of supporting such an lnstitu-
ton as the Pennsylvania Hospital VIII DC de-
ceiyed by The speciOus reasoning OF these
pamphlets.
We publish this morning in another column
second communication from " A Mother" on
this subject. TO which we direct attention. III
10 n strono argument in favor of admitting
women to clinical lectures that IN time, their
presence will redeem those scenes from much
that is indecent and disgraceful. The ribaldry
and profanity on the part of male students,
and the display of beartlessness by the pro-
fessors, are often far more degrading than can
possibly be the exposure of the human FORM
1t would be a gross slander on our mems ma
ture to believe that the presence OF women on
such occasions will not after time curb tins
wantOn and wicked spirit.

THE RIVAL CHIEFS.

1t ought not to be matter of congratula-
ton, yet ii is, that the rival State Conventions
have selected men so capable and worthy for
Justices of our highest Court. OF the ten can
ddates thus placed in nomination, seven will
surely be chosen-probably the whole of one
ticket and two Associate Justices from the
other; but it is quite possible that four may
be chosen from one ticket and three from its
rival That there is Republican majority in
our State, we have no manner of doubt; but
the vote will not be full, and the Republicans
are mainly scattered on farms and in rural
hamlets, while the Democrats mainly inhabit
the cities and villages, so that three hundred and
fifty thousand of them can attend the election at
less than half the expense of time and travel
that is involved in bringing so many Republicans
to the polls. Then we have an exciting Char
ter Election in this Democratic stronghold to
draw out additional votes, with nothing like
it in any other County; while the day of cleo
ton (May ~ comes exactly when the farmers
are most busy with their plowing and seeding.
We hone to elect all the Republican candi-
dates but there never before was an election
held wherein the extraneOus influences were
so wholly one-sided as in this case.
The rival candidates flor Chef-Justice have
many points of resemblance. Each was origin
allv a Democrat; each adhered to the "Free
"Soiln or Barnburner' wing of the party when
il divided on the Slavery question, and with
that wing in 1S4S supported Van' Buren fol
| President Adams for Vice-President, and John
| A. Dix for Governor. We presume each voted
| for Pierce as President and Seymour as Gov
enor in 1862. But, when the Nebraska bill
once more convulsed the country and distracted
parties, Judge Selden took his stand .ga:nst
the measure, and has ever since been known
as a Republican while Dir, Church stuck to his

c,n1 His vote that year was lowest OF any
ON the Democratic State ticket; yet General
Apatby elected him, as he may do again.
Judge Seldcn has since served one year
in the Assembly, because he was wanted anu
he rendered most excellent service there Dut
he has usually declined political nominations
His proper place is on the bench, and there
ne has done his best work; there, we trust, he
is destined to do more SUCH
In 1863 Selden and Church were both candi-
dates on the State tickets of their respective
parties. The Republicans had been beaten IN
the preceding State Election by decided MAJOR
ities-Gen. Wadsworth for Governor 1922 by
Uoratio Seymour. The Civil War was still
raging; nearly One Hundred Thousand of our
voters, mainly Republicans, were IN the held,
and could not cast ballot; yet Judge Selden
was elected and Lieut.-GOv. Church defeated
by the following vote:
Judge Of Apped'S-Seldcn.. 3l3,327 Allen .2Si'OS'
ComptroHer-Robinson. 1926 Church .2si,8i6
selden's majority, 292f; Robinson's do, 29,697
Judge Selden had just previously gwen q dis-
senting opinion in the Court of Appeals, In
which opinion the Legal Tender act was pro-
nounced unconstitutional. We presume nine
tenths of the Republicans dissented (as we dld)
from his view of the question, deeming the
Legal Tender act essential to the success OF
tie National arms; yet so general and perfect
was the public confidence in the integrity and
patriotism of Judge S. that his vote fell but
1.C6j behind the highest on our ticket.
SO highly do we value independence and
fidelity to conviction in Judge that we shall
vote for Judge Selden the more heartily be-
cause of his Legal Tender opinion. We want
men on the bench who will obey their Con
sciences, even when they contravene our own
view of what is proper and necessary And,
while we have great respect for Mr.. Church's
abilities, we have never known him to do or
say aught calculated to displease or offend his
political associates.

MILK FOR BdBES.

The Erening Post has n correspondent who
seems to be sadly in want Of information. He
quotes something said by this writer Of the
virtues OF Gypsum az a fertilizer, and adds:
"NOw, IL may perhaps be known, even ~ a political
economist, that Gypsum Is found Nova Scotia In i'm.

oned by Mr. Greeley is, in It's entirety reader
will find or page q, line C59 the following:

that there direct tax OF something Ike four hundred

Greeley 10 urgently advises the farmers 10 on their
lands for tho sole benefit Of a few mOHopOst who have
artificial manure factories.

Plaster of Paris" has at some time been i'm
ported into this country for agricultural pur-
poses; but we never heard of such importation,
and doubt whether it was ever made. And,
so true is it that "crude gypsum" in pieces Of
twenty to fifty pounds of the rock as quanied,
is the very form in which the article is not
only imported but distributed throughout the
country, that we never heard of any other. 80
far as We know, Plaster for farming use is
dl,raB ground or manufactured at the point Of
final distribution to its cOnsumers-never else
where. If any was ever imported in a
"groundn or "calcined" form, it must have
been for use in the arts, never for app!ica-
ton to the farmers fields.
Is It fair to impose on us the primary edu-
cation of men so grossly ignorant as this No
Monopoly ~ Who beside does not know that
the Tariff bill now before Congress is not
especially championed by Mr.. Greeley who
has from the outset proposed that the Tariff

but Congress is so much more likely 10 make
it worse than better that we have steadfasty
discouraged any tinkering of it.

CPUFLTY TO ANIMALS.

Since our City began to construct her great
Central Park, distant cities have WED with
public-spirited individuals in making her pres
ents of rare and curious animals and birds to
increase the attractions of that Park AS the
formation therein of grand geological collec-
ton formed no part of the plan of the Park,
it was inevitable that these gifts should be
badly provided for and many of them severely
tried by the rigors and caprices of our unfa-
milar climate. Many have consequently died ;
nearly all, we presume, have suffered; and it
is high time that remedy were provided.
We ask our rulers to appoint Henry Bergh,
or some other officer of his Society for the Pro-
lection of Animals from cruel treatment, to
fill the vacancy in the Park Commission caused
by the resignation of John b. Dillon. We care
not who may be the man, provided he be one
who will make specially of seeing that our
City's growing collection of animals and birds
be treated as humanity and decency conspire
to dictate.
New-York tribune., 1870-04-30

The campaigns of 1867 and 1868 against the
Indians of the Plains are partially described
in the Report recently furnished on the order
of the House of Representatives. In another
column we give an abstract of some of It's
more interesting portions. The narrative con-
ssts principally of two chapters in the misfor-
tunes of the Cheyennes, although other tribes
also suffered. There is a proverb about giving
dog a bad name, and there were Dog
"Cheyennes," so-called, who committed depre-
dations and outrages. In 1867 an army ap-
peared before a Cheyenne village, the object
being to strike terror by military display. The
women recollected ChivingtOn and fled. The
village was burned. Subsequent Outrages on
whites were always charged to Cheyennos."
The papers from the Indian Bureau indicate
wide variance of feeling between it and the
War Department. The Superintendent of In
dian Affairs declared that the dispatches de-
scribing the battle of the Washita," near the
Texan boundary, made him " sick at heart"
If his views were correct, that battle may now
be looked upon as a fitting prelude to the
Piegan massacre.

SHALL WOMEN ATTEND CLINICSi

We are all the more concerned for the result
of the election at the Pennsylvania Hospital
on Monday next, in which the right Of women
students of Medicine to be present at the elm
ical lectures of that institution is to be deter
mined, since there is just reason for serious
fear that their Punishment from 80 clinics
there will be followed by their exclusion from
Bellevue and other hospitals throughout the
country. This would be deplorable result in
every aspect in which we may view it. The
issue is of Importance not merely to the young
ladies who demand the right to the most COM
prehensive instruction in the profession they
have chosen, but to society, whose security in
large degree depend on the thOroughness of the
medical educatin. which is sought. There is
cause to be gli 4, for this latter reason, that
society and pst the medical fraternity will be
called upon to decide the question at the
Philadelphia election. AS we are informed, the
contributors to the Pennsylvania Hospital who
are to vote on the issue are largely mothers
and their children. Any person contributing
the sum of thirty dollars to the Hospital is en-
titled to. vote for life in the election of its
managers and the decision of questions like
the one in issue. Many parents have made
contributions in the names of children still
minors, but these, we are told, are entitled to
vote, and we hope will vote in the interests of
society for the admission of women TO clinics.
The lady contributors have never heretofore
voted at all, but, for the sake of themselves
and their struggling sisters, we hope they will
do so now. There has been an effort made to
discourage them on the foolish ground that
for them to vote will give color to the charge
that the managers are encouraging "WOmen's
Rights We are not ourselves ardent
admirers of the class of ladies who have been
prominent agitatOrs for what are misnamed
"womens rights but We arc heartily in favor
of giving each and every one of the sex every
opportunity for acquiring an education that
makes her an independent, useful member of
society, and q positive. not mere negative,

The most interesting and vigorous debate
which we have had in the House this many a
day, was heard yesterday, on the bill to grant
land in aid of an Oregon railway. Mr.. Holman
of Indiana in most illogical argument against
all land grants, mentioned that ten million
acres of land had been taken in 1869, under the
Homestead act, but concealed the fact that
nine-tenths of the acres thus settled upon were
in the vicinity of the great railways which
form the attraction to Western emigrants.
This is a fact which cannot be disputed and
which we are surprised TO see ignored. 1t is also
a clearly demonstrated fact that it is to the
interest of the railroad companies which have
completed their lines by Government land aid
to sell at low rates to actual settlers, rather
than to spectators at high rates, and there is
evidence that the companies encourage actual
settlers. The Pacific coast ought to be deyel-
oped, and there is no better disposition to he
made of part of the public lands in that
State than by giving them away in encourage
ment of internal improvements.

The Erenipo Post sees fit to say that

IHe ECeHlng IOI sees III 10 SAY JudU
"The book of essays recently published by Horace
Greeley written the title states to explain and de-
fend the policy Protection, is amusing attack on
economical science, and much Of it reads like satire
the principles its author has always avowed its reason
ings being blind and its conclusions so e1travagan
that it is hard to accept them put forth in earnest"
The EUening Post may not have observed
that chap. 1S of the little book it treats so dis
dainfully is devoted to the prophecies which
have from time to time been put forth by The
EUening Post with respect to our several Pro-
tective Tariffs and their necessary cOnsequen-
ces, contrasted with the results actually real
lied. We think The Post will not deny that
said essay is uniformly courteous, that Its clta-
tions are correct and fair, and that the pre-
dictions they embody are strikingly at variance
with subsequent events. Could not The Post
be induced to meet the positions of that essay 7
Or does it conclude that its safest course is to
content itself with paragraphs like that quoted

THE NEED OF MEXICO.

Gen. Rosecrans, who has represented us
hclpfully in an important but neglected field
Of American diplomacy, declares that we baye
"no unequivOcal policy of political CONNER
"cial, and industrial fraternity" toward the
Western Republics. The General well knows
whereof he speaks. He has seen the great
wealth of Mexico idle or misused-he has seen
its people unaided and unblessed, wanting tho
stimulus of capital and the opportunities
of industry which capital affords. In short,
he has seen great country awaiting It's re-
generation by means of enterprise. Like a
practical man, he proposes that Congress shall
at last announce a policy of industrial fra
Eternity" by giving powers to such mutual
enterprises of railways and cooperating banks
as Mexicans and Americans may agree upon.
The General has learned somewhat from eX-
perience, we imagine, that the most eifectual
way to secure national concession from the
Southern Republics is to make national con-
cessiOns in return. The Mexicans have often
of late years been reluctant TO make barren
grants to foreigners, who came 20 trade
upon their necessities. We do not
wonder But now, suppose that
while we ask privileges we can offer privileges
by giving to Mexican enterprise the warrant Of
our laws with the aid of our money and ma
tional influenced Mexico will not twice ask
herself whether the United States will help her.
