Women in Wall 6trcet-A New Phaso Of
rho Woman Question.

L
| A few days since our financial writer, whoss
observation is only equallcd by his gallantry,
recorded the fact that couple of fashionably
'ressed ladies made their appearance upon the
b,n " trottoirs Of Wall street and were conspic-
so,,a for extensive purchases and sales OF
stock, the transactions in which they con-
duc,ed - 'th sacoir faire of the routine of tho
c.oos rx., ,ange that could have been derived
or,v s.o,n =, intimate familiarity with the in
tricacies Of %. 'rations in that moneyed region.
W. have heon at the pains since to learn
further Of these q 'eculative daughters of Eve,
and have fallen ,no, the astounding discovery
thot woman in xtending her career
Of usefulness under the teachings of the
modern school of female progressonis's has
entered upon the novel ro'esslon OF STOCK
brokerage Here is sometfd. ng lor inc con-
sideraton OF Susan B. Anthon, ana her sister
apostles of woman's rights. Wit. what COM
placency must she and they regard the sue
cess which has 80 far attended ther efforts.
If Jfnessc is woman's gift, why not finance also
We all know the skill with which she aInlin-
listers the domestic exohequer. Why may not
her abilities take wider range? Woman has
made no mean mark in poetry and sculpture.
Why should she not distinguish herself in all
branches of the arts and sciences? If women
can regulate the expenditures of a households
and audit grocer's bill, why may she not man
age bank account? If she can keep q shop;
why may she not sell bills of exchange2 Why
should she be compelled to restrict her talents
to certain departments of business and be de-
street. she would be quite in her element. The
nursing of ''corner" would enjoy her maternal
skill. ''Calls' would be her delight.
The capacity Of woman for this new sphere
of business being conceded, some little difficulty
arises as to the specific nomenclature
1t would be her duty to assume. It is
the experience Of Wall street that all
who go there, no matter how unbiased at
first, gradually take sides with either Of the
respective opposing elements of the Stock
Exchange. Now our politeness prevents US
from conjecturing that she would become a
''bear" We are aware, of course, that there
are such things as female ursines but they
are confined to the kingdom Of the lower
animals. On the other hand, we are loath
to think that she could be so Hibernian as to
become ''bull." But this difficulty is one
which may be easily obviated. The question
of her status will settle itself in some way
when woman regularly takes her place in the
stock board. Meantime we congratulate the
brokers that their labors are to be shared by
the fair sex. How refreshing the time when
the bass and baritone OF "seller sixty" shall
harmonize with the tenor and soprano Of
''buyer thirty" and the halls of the Stock
Exchange shall exhibit variety of costume as
diverse as the floors of o ballroom. VSoo Ia

SMALLPOX The announcement is made
that from the first OF January up to the present
time there have been over two hundred cases
of smallpox below Fourteenth street and east
of First avenue This is the largest number
known for years in the city, but a diminution
of deaths is noticeable within the past few
days. 1t is pretty well established fact by
this time that the introduction of the foul
disease was principally by eG,isrants from
European countries.

In BAD ODoR-The Senators in Congress,
Pomeroy and Ross, and the Representative of
Kansas, at home among their radical brethren.
Resolutions have been introduced in the
Kansas Legislature asking these three wor-
thies to resign, because they were somewhat
ishy on Andy Johnson's impeachment, and
because in the way of jobs they have had too
many irons in the fire. Ross, for saving john
son, has had o hard time Of it, and his case
looks bad; but Pomeroy will probably escapa
as a champion of woman suffrage. Kansas is

LAW AND LUNACY.-The necessity for some
vent abuses in the matter Of contining persons
in lunatic asylums has been forcibly illustrated
heretofore by incidents in real life, and to-day
we have another case. The persistency of tho
criminals, if the story as told is true, in trying
to deprive the victim Of his liberty, would
most probably have deprived him ere long Of
his senses. Mr. Hustled proposes to intro
duce bill in the Assembly which will cover
the whole ground

Yachting Upon tho Ocenn-The Season O
1870.


We publish to-day challenge from Mr..
William Douglas, Rear Commodore of the
New York Yacht Club, and owner of the
American yacht Sappho, for an international
ocean race with any schooner yacht in Great
Britain or Ireland to sail against the Sappho
from Old Head of Kinsale to Sandy Hook.
Mr.. Douglas prefers to start on the 4th OF
July, the day on which the Cambria and
Dauntless leave on their contest across the
ocean; but he states that he is prepared to
sail on any day during the month of July the
acceptor of his challenge may choose. Mr..
Douglas also challenges any schooner yacht in
Great Britain to sail race from the Nab
Light to Cherbourg Breakwater and back any
day during the first week in June. These
challenges were published in the London Times
of the 9Th inst. We also publish note from
an amateur nautical member of Parliament to
the editor of the London Shipping and Mer-
camille Gazette, recommending that all yacht
men, captains, sailing masters or others feeling
any interest in the forthcoming race (between
the Cambria and Dauntless), to offer sugges-
tions as to preparations, on the prevailing
winds and currents, at that period, to Mr..
Ashbury, the owner of the Cambria. All
these movements indicate that the spirit Of
ocean yachting has received a renewed i'm
pulse among the yachtmen of England and
America,

shot by Mr.. Biddle several days ago, as made
to our reporter yesterday. lie charges that
Annie Raymond gave notice of his entering
tho house to Biddle, who rushed from a room
and shot him; that he had never quarrelled
with either, and was ignorant Of the cause Of
the assault, which is to him still mystery.
Such, in brief, is his story, and we give it
without comment.

sary whenever the Legislature meets that some

THE CoLoRED SENATOR FROM MIssIssIppI.-
W. II. Revels, the negro who was elected by
the Mississippi Legislature to fill the unex-
pired term to which Judge Sharkey was
elected, is carpet Dagger from Ohio. He has
only year to serve, and as he must of course
wait until the State is admitted he will hardly
have an opportunity to shine very brilliantly
among his distinguished confreres, unless it is
by his glossy complexion. But he will present
himself under excellent auspices. He will
come representing in himself not only trium
phant issue of republican policy, but he will
take with him q strong tenet of the democratic
disabilities. He ought to teach a lesson in
moderation and justice to Sumner and Butler.

Uniyersal Negro Suffrage.

The fifteenth amendment requires now only
he vote Of Georgia or Texas in order to be
proclaimed an article of the federal constitu-
ton, 'the supreme law Of the land" Within
week or two we expect this proclamation will
be made. What then? The amendment de-
clares that neither tho United States nor any
State shall make any abridgment of the right
OF suffrage on account OF race, color or pre-
vious condition of servitude and 1t further
provides that Congress shall have the power to
enforce this thing by appropriate legislation.
The States of Delaware, Maryland and Ken
tucky, therefore, in their next elections will
have to admit the right Of the negro to vote,
which they have heretofore denied him; and
If they fail to do it Congress will interpose.
And 80 with any one of the States.
The democrats have resisted this amendment
o the last ditch, and on the ground that it
gives to Congress the power to regulate the
machinery Of our elections in all the States.
We hold that it simply gives Congress the
power to enforce the equal rights of the colored
race in any case where State may refuse to
grant or fail to enforce them. This, of course,
may involve in certain cases an overhauling
by Congress of the State election machinery;
but we do not suppose that the amendment
will be construed, for instance, as turning over
to Congress the management Of the polls of
this city from the sachems of Tammany Hall,
unless they exclude Pompey from the ballot
box.
1t follows that tho policy adopted by the old
line democrats Of Virginia and elsewhere down
South-the policy Of recognizing the negro and
cultivating him as political ally-is the only
course now left for the democrats in all the
other States, and the sooner the Tammany
Regency act upon this idea the better it will
be for them and their candidate for the next
Presidency; for negro suffrage is fixed, and
there will be no getting round it.
