In canvass made of the 80 women in
Royaltown, VT, IA women wish female
suffrage, 81 don't wish it, and IA didn't
have any choice.
Several ladies of our city are in favor
of the voting business. We are not al
lowed to mention names, but the reason
they give us for demanding the fright" is
that they may learn who of their female
chums are foolish enough to to expose
themselves to public ridicule! We are
sorry to notice than "Jennie June' Mrs
Croly, one of the finest writers Of gossip
and sense, well mingled) was an actor on
the "boards'' of Mrs. Elizabeth Cady
Stanton, in one of her late demonstrations
of female pantalooncy. Jennie would
have known better if she had called on
reflection to guide her. Mrs. Cady S., in
her long harangue to "ladies only" in
GLIDING, of course, lot of Solomon's 'all
is vanity and vexation Of spirit" men, de-
nounced Clay as an adulterer at Washing
ton while Mrs Clay was churning butter at
Ashland; slightly anathametized McFar-
land for interfering with spiritual afiinities
by shooting Richardson, and closed with
a reference to Humboldt, Dickens, john
Stuart Mills, Charlotte Bronte, Charles
Dickens and others, who had erred in their
fancied affinity. Her argument, in brief,
was that jury of women should settle
all cases of domestic dissension and the
parties be absolved from marriage VOWS in
case they were mad at each other. We
heard, long ago Of juries of women but
they were called for different purposes
than separation of man and wife Ben.

man of our early Republic, is called IL

We have a notion to clip from the N.
Y. Tribune of May 18th, the whole
lecture Of this old termagant, simply to
convert that portion Of our lady readers
who have dreamed that the way to edu-

roughness which necessarily attaches to
man in. his business and social circulation.
The Capitol Bill.
Gen. Hendricks paper, the Ottumwa
Courier, administers the following scath-
ing rebuke to the republican portion of
the last general assembly. As the gener
al is enc among the leading republicans of
the state, his remarks are all the more cut
ting:
'sIn despite of the deliberate action Of
the last republican state convention; in
direct contravention of the wishes of nine
tenths of the tax payers of the state, a
legislature which was almost unit
against the measure when it assembled,
has finally been soft soldered ,honey-fugled,
coaxed and leased by the cunning arts of
willy women, and seduced by the equally
potent and more substantial consideration
Of mercenary men, to deliberately vote to
saddle upon US in this very pinch and cri-
sis of our financial affairs, the intermina-
BILE and intolerable burdens of taxation
necessary to erect gorgeous capital at
Des Moines, for the benefit of real estate
spectators in the neighborhood of its
proposed locality, and to enrich the greedy,
hungry pack Of eormorant contractors,
who expect to handle the peoples money
in constructing it."
But in connection with the above casti-
CATION of the legislature by leading
radical paper, it should not be forgotten
that this same General Hendrick was one
of the prime movers in getting this cor
rupt legislature to appropriate fifteen
thousand dollars to defray the expenses
of soldier-politico meeting at Des Moines
during the canvass this fall. He is as
deep in the mire as the balance are in the
mud. He has helped to take from the
treasury the most unjust appropriation,
among the many. that was made by the
last assembly. The whole radical party
of the state have forfeited all the conf
dence the people ever placed in them.
They have taxed people more heavily
than those of almost any other section of
the country. Yet they tell us that the
state is out of debt. Where does the
money go? Into such appropriations as
the SIS, 900 for soldiers meeting, $780,
600 for state capitol, $4,000 to pay in
terest on a debt they tell us we do not
owe, and thousand other unjustifable
appropriations burlington Argus.
