OF the New York Tribune:
SIR: | can no longer restrain fror
4 protesting against the absurd and un
!. reasonable efforts of the dissatisfe,
few to tear the rest of us from uu
homes aod proper sphers, aud to laupcl
/ us, In spite OF ourselves, into the whirl
pool of political life, to sever us frou
sweet and sacred home ties, and sent
US out into the world to perform tn,
tasks allotted to man. After the,
have unsurped mans employment
what do they intend I? The bakiul
and cooking will never take care o
itself Ia the instructive story o
" Darby aud Joau," We see with wba
success the homo department was man
aged by man The author is silent
respecting Joao's success. Why ha'
no one ever flushed the witty fable
1t would be n promising task for some
wise poet, and particularly applicabl,
TO the present movement. As IN,
peaceful mother Of eisb; cherubs, con.
tent in the delightful task of rearing
the tender thought and teaching the
young idea how to shoot, | beg you tc
do oil in your poser to save US from
the Vaccinations Of our dissatisfied
unfortunate sisters. Forty years ex-
pericucc has taught mo to look with
pity on those who are discontentcd
with the 10, Providence designed
them to occupy, and ! honor the brave
women who have spoken in behalf of
the majority.
A JANEsvILLE (Wisconsin) cores
pondent Of the Chicago Post relates
au exciting scene which occurred in
the court room ut tho former place at
the close Of murder trial. lie says
The argument of counsel in thi,
case were prolonged until O'Clock
p. NJ to day 18th ull. Judge Lyon
then delivered his charge TO the jury.
instructipg them that according to the
law aud the evidence they must ei,hor
find the defrndeut guilty OF murder, or
of mapslaughtcr in the third degree
The jury then retired for delibcra-
ton.
An exciting Gene occurred at the
close Of the speech Of the Distric, At
torncy.-Mrs Roberts, the aged moth.
er Of the murdared man, who had been
quiet and attentive listener TO the
argument, arose and said that she de.
sired to make few remarks to the
jury.
The Judge requested her to sit
down, but she was persistent, and
the sheriff was compelled to interfere.
She took her seat for momcnt, and
tho officer stepped away, when she
again spraug to her feet, eZclaiming,
" lie killed my son, and will kill him"
rushed upon the old man Stowe, and
grasping him by the throat aud head,
caused the blood to flow from the
wounds she Inflicted. The sheriff and
his assistants interiered, and she
was forced from the court room, still
declaring that she would yet accom-
plish her purpose. 1t produced quite
a sensation among the audience for
brici period, but the officers promptly
restored order.
OSE of the victims of the Richmond
disaster was Republican member Of
the State Legislature. Ten years ago,
a Virginia newspaper would have
spoken Of him in the phrase still fash
ionablo with tho Pennsylvania Democ-
racy, rs Il "nigger." But times have
changed in the Old Dominion, as may
be inferred from tho annexed para
graph, taken from Richmond Jour
nal Of last week:
"Poor Bland, the colored member
from Prince Edward. who was killed
by tho dreadful accident on Wednes-
day last, had by his straightforward,
manly aud independent course attract.
ed the respect and confidence Of both
races. Had he lived, he would doubt.
less have been the foremost man Of his
race in the State. lie was q man of
excellent natural parts, aud availed
himself Of every opportunity Of seltim-
provemcnt. His good sense, good
principles, and sound and elevated
views of public duty, were copspicu-
ously displayed whenever he was
brought before the public. His death
is much deplored by the white people
Of the State as it is by those of his own
race.
THE Rev. Mr.. Smy,he, ofNew York,
who recently partook Of gin and milk,
and aitorwsrd confessed his sin, has
been roundly abused by the press, re-
buked by tho presbytery of his church,
and called upon to resign his pastorate
Tho Rev. Henry Ward Beecher and
the Rev. o. b rockingham, who of.
ficiated at the marrige Of Richardson.
the seducer Of an another mans
wife, with the victim of his machina,
lions aud Of her own wrong, asking
the blessing Of Heaven upon this
rnhallowed union and upon "what
these two had been to each other" and
who subsequently, gloried in their act,
and defended the conduct of the par
ties thus sacriligiously united, are still
pernitfcd To preach the gospel (as they
understand it), aud are defended by .
large portion Of the press. Comment
is deemed unnecessary Day
The Senate committee on military
affairs is opposed to the bill which
passed the House, declaring May 80 a
national holiday forever, u day to dec.
orate the graves Of soldiers who fell in
the late war.
