WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?-A Boston paper
has the important information that "a society
is soon to be organized in New York, to be
composed Of none but orderly citizens, whose
motto is to be strong pieces Of rope and plen-
tiful supply of lampposts." In response an
evening contemporary Of this city says lyon
are right, brother. Wc have good authority
for saying that such an organization already
exists, and will soon put to the. District Attor-
ney few questions touching certain untried
murderers," 80. These are broad hints at o
vigilance committee; but wc suspect that our
"orderly citizens" who are too much absorbed
in their private business affairs to take any
active interest in our city elections, will hardly
be able to spare the time for the services re-
quired Of q volunteer committee Of safety. As
for the few questions to be put to the District
Attorney, what il the Citizens Association
good for il it cannot attend to this business2

TUE LATEST INTELLIGENCE FROM MEXICO is

TUE LATEST INTELLIGENCE FROM MEXICO is
Of the stereotyped pattern. Revolution con-
times and is spreading, the insurgents having
combined and presented SO formidable front
as to compel the retreat Of General Escobedo
and the government forces. Meanwhile
Jnarez was busy preparing for the struggle,
which promises to be severe one, and one
likely to end in his overthrow. Many promi-
nent officers were joining the revolutionists,
thus making the situation wear graver aspect
every day, as all of the numerous generals"
in Mexico have partisans who follow them into
every rebellion, quite Indifferent as to the
merits Of the cause they espouse. To add to
the troubles already existing, movement is
now progressing in favor of the independence
of the Northwestern States. In aid of this
plot meeting was held in Tepio on the
fifteenth OF last month, when declaration
favoring the independence Of these States was
publicly announced. This adds another to the
many evils under which unfortunate Mexico
now struggles.

NATIONAL ReLlGl.u; REFORM.

meering was held last evening In the Twenty
third street Presbyterian church in favor Of the
Christian amendment to the constitution, to the
effect that reform was needed in the laws because the

tanned reference to Him in the oath prescribed
The resolutions set forth tnat tho nation failed to
character OF Its providentia constitution, wnicn was
Christian, not Jewish, Mohammedan, pagan or

WoMEN's RIGHTS IN MINNESOTA. bill
proposing an amendment to the State consttu-
ton giving the women the right of suffrage has
passed both houses Of the Minnesota Legisla-
ture and will probably be signed by the Gov
ernor. When the amendment is submitted to
the people the women will have the right to
vote upon it. This puts the issue fairly and
square!y. If the women of Minnesota want
the suffrage they can vote for it, and if they
do not vote in Minnesota we can take it for
granted that they are merely flirting with snf-
frage and won't accept it for better or worse, no
matter how often it proposes or is proposed.
In Utah the women would not vote when they
could, and we incline to the belief that if they
had the suffrage oil over the country they
would not use it. 1t would therefore be as
we'll to let them have it, and probably we
would hear no more about it. Then Miss
Anthony's mission would be ended, and we
have her word for it that she would agitatc no
further. 1t is the best thing, therefore, to let
the women have tho suffrage, il only to quiet
them.

In THE STATE LEGisLA,~Rs yesterday two
bills Of more than ordinary impos,ttancc were
disposed Of. The Senate passed the house
bin abolishing the Court of Special Sessions Of
this city, and it was sent Immediately to the
Governor, who, according to promise made
Colonel Murphy, signed it in the afternoon,
thus making it law. The bill abolshing the
Contracting Board and contract system on
the canals was also passed by the Senate, with
on amendment prohibiting the Canal Board
from entering into any new contracts for keep
ing the canals in repair. The radicals made
their last struggle over the section authorizing
the appointment Of patrolmen, but, as might
be supposed, failed to have II stricken out
In the Assembly the Excise bill for the State
was passed after numerous amendments had
been voted down.

the Prince, and balls, levees and parties, Off
cial and private, and what with tho trials of
members Of Congress for the sale of cade.ships,
they have had merry winter in Washington !;
and, with the near approach Of Lent, balls and
receptions seem to be the genera order of the
night. The example Of the White House in
enjoying 'the goods the gods provide us" is,
in short the Washington fashion, and General
Grants dinners and receptions, they say, re-
mind the old stagers Of the good old democratic
times of General Jackson.
