Woman SuGrage.

Mr.. EDIToR:-In the Ne1US Of April eth,
a correspondent asks few questions in
regard to Woman Suffrage. One would
suppose that, after all that has been said
and written upon The subject Of late, some
of the questions had already been salts
faetorily answered; but as the writer is
anxious to have them answered through
the News, will endeavor to answer them
as briefly as possible.
The first question, ''WOuld it elevate
woman ?'' is easily disposed of. I have
sometimes heard of women being called
"angels," by a certain portion of mascu-
line humanity, but have never heard of a
woman who thought herself this much su-
perior to tour husbands and brothers.'-
She simply claims to be his equal in men
tai and moral endowments. This, men
admit her to be, when they say that Cher
sphere'' is the household and school-roOm,
for surely no vocation requires a higher
degree ofinteIIectual culture than that OF
the teacher;-the person into whose care is
committed the instruction of future peo-
pie. Therefore, as women do not belong
to a class of beings inferior to the "lords Oi
creation" !" she needs no "right of Suffrage
to "elevate" her to their level.
"WouId it not degrade those who are
now the fairest ornaments to society,""
Pray tell US what is degrading" in
the simpls act of voting? Is it the people
she will meet on her way to the polls? L
she were an angel, it might be somewhat
degrading for her to walk the pavement
whereon the feet Of commen men were
treading; but being "onIy a woman,
perhaps she would not be more contami
mated by walking the street for the pur
pose of voting, than for shopping, visiting
or "promenading." Last Election day, {
great many ladies were on the street, ap
parently in pursuit of something of spe
cial importance to themselves, no one pay
ing any attention to the crowded side
walks. In the Post Office we met quite {
number Of young ladies, which suggested
to our minds this question: Could not on'
Of these tournaments to society" deposit
ballot as gracefully and modestly, as qui
etly and quickly, as she can put a letter il
the Post Office?
'swould it better the condition Of tn
Government -
It would perhaps seem like presumption

Sickness PreUdiling-Dedth Of TtOo Old
Citizens-A Defeated Candidate, and
his Movements.
DEAR NEWS - There has been con-
siderable sickness in our township and
some deaths. Mr.. Samuel Grant, an
old, wealthy and respectable citizen,
died on the 7tb inst, after an illness of
abouto three weeks. He leaves a wife
and five children to mourn his loss.
Mr.. Daniel Gibler, another old and
respectable citizen, died on the 9th
inst, at the residence Of his son, near
TayIorsville, with whom he resided.
He had been helpless for about year
past. He has gone, we trust, from
labor to reward.
Some of our defeated Democratic
candidates at the late election are tax
ing it very hard. One Mr.. D., who
ran for Assessor, and by-the-by got a
very respectable vote, (86 against 96)
claims that he wrote his name on ten
Republican tickets, which he says the
! judges cheated him out of. He walked
all the way to our town, TaylorsviIle,
to see if the Clerk would not count
these votes, and if not, he would con-
test the election! You see the point.
If they can MT rule they will try to
ruin. That is the spirit that ran us
into the rebellion.
1 would advise Mr.. D. to hold still.
AS it is the first time he ever came be-
! fore the public for Office, he should not
take it so hard. He was beaten fair,
and should stand it like a man. All
will be well with him if he is only
faithful. He has only got in the wrong
political pewJ 1 would like to give
him some encouragement, and will JUS
say to him, "Come out from among
the foul party, and join the Fifteenth
Amendment, and success shall crown
all your efforts. Good-by."

Sudden Death of Mrs. Sarah M2ler-I
4 Coroner's Inquest Called, but not
Hold

Sudden Death Of Mrs. Sarah Miller
4 CorOner's Inquest Called, but not
Held.
DANvILLE, April 18th, 1870.
lfr. Editor Mrs. Sarah Miller, a
widow lady of some 73 years Of age,
and who was resident of this place
and lived by herself, was found dead
in her chair at about 81 o'clock on last
Friday evening.
From the best information which we
can obtain, she had been complaining
of feeling unweu during the day, but
had been about her premises as usual.
Preparations were made for her in
terment on Saturday, by her friends,
who entertained no doubt but what
the old lady had-died a natural death,
when the proceedings were stopped by
the summoning of the Coroner to hold
an inquest on the body. The Coroner
appeared on the premises, summoned
his jury, and physicians to make post
n1orten examination. Dr. Hoagland,
who we believe had charge of the ex-
animation, having examined the body
and finding no marks of violence there
on, wisely concluded that it would not
be proper to pursue the examination
further without the consent of the
friends, which could not be had, and
gave it as his opinion that her death
was caused by disease of the heart.
The evidence of some of the wit,
nesses examined corroborated this
opinion.
The jury brought in a verdict O.
death by the visitation of God in nat
ural way, and not by violence.
The friends objected to a Coroner's
inquest as entirely uncalled for, under
the circumstances, as they were en-
tirely satisfied as to the cause Of hel
death, and which the testimony on file
will show.
Who was responsible for it, we d,
not know, or their object, unless a pc
cuniary one. MEMO.

"Inatus, 10 ..RolIo.,

! STRINGTOWN, April, 1871
| Mr.. EDITOR In your issue of March |
oath, "Rollo" rams himself down hard
and fires himself off in wordy reply to
nv communication in the News of March |
10th, in which he displays a seemingly un-
ruffied front, but neglects some points, and
makes a few mis-statements, which I think |
he would not have overlooked if he had
not been so much "amused" C?) at my /
communication. Now, Mr. "Rollo," you |
say in the first place that you "did not say
a word about his schoolhouse," ," and further
that you "did not say one word, one way |
or the other, about the Stringtown School
House." In your first letter you said that
you had visited many schools this winter,
and had seen only one really decent school.
You know as we'll as 1 do, Mr.. "Rollo,"
that you visited the Stringtown School
House two or three times, and yet you
have the impudence to say that you did
not say one word one way or The other
about the Stringtown School House.
You also suppose, and endeavor to argue
from the supposition, that, as you had the
'sreverse" Of "slim house, the people
were not disappointed. Now, Mr.. "ROllo,"
those who expected anything solid or in
structive Uere disappointed : for when they
expected something Of the character Of
''Bingen on the Rhine," (Which was on
your bills, but you did not recite) they
u, were TegaLed with such tit-bits as your
"Lecture o on Queer People," or "Job
Squash :" but when we take into consider
alton that your gross receipts were in the
a neighborhood of five dollars, and that
}, your "reverse" of a "slim house" number
e ed about one-third as many people as our
4 ordinary evening spelling schools, we fail
to see the force of your argument.
y You also say that you were "frequently
applauded," and ask if sever knew an
e audience to applaud an actor in whom
g they were disappointed" Yes, sir, 1 have,
Il and have noticed further, that some ac-
! tors often mistake laughter for applause.
And as to "Kidd's Elocution" and your Sc
lectfons therefrom, you might have better
3 ed yourself, both in respect to the book it.
Il self and the pieces you recited- from it
/, But, Mr.. "Rollo,'' y-yols7bad- only told US
v that those ''yarns'' originated with yOH, we
4 certainly would have appreciated them
Just as ge did. Indeed you say they diC
originate with you, and were published il
u Harper's Magazine. Du tell
81 So then, Mr.. "RoIlo," as my "reply'
/, amused you, and you construed it as {
z .'gratuitous puff" I hope you are in {
~ measure compensated for your definition
= Shades Of Webster y Of a "dead-head,

Ol think, however, it would have been for
N tunate for you if there had been several o
the individuals in question present, fol
IL you would then have come nearer tn
I'd truth when you said you had the "reyerse'

By-by, "Rollo;" when next you come t
