THE MINORITY REPORT.

The minority report, said to have been written by Mrs. Thomas Cowles, embodies
 the usual objections to the measure, most
 of which had been already answered in the
 majority report. To few of these we will
 briefly refer: - l. That. a majority of the women in the
 state do not wish to vote. If it was pro- posed to compel women to vote, this might be 2 conclusive answer; but the request is not that Mrs. Cowles, and others of like
 opinions, should be compelled to vote, but that Mrs. Hooker, and others of her views, be allowed to do SO. Was the Southern slave asked if he wished to be free before Mir. Lincoln issued bis proclamation? Was the freedman asked whether the majority
 of his class desired franchise before Con
 gress granted him the privilege? Not on- ly, therefore, is the demand that woman should vote that she wishes to vote before the right is conceded to her unreasonable. but it is unprecedented.
 3. ssWs contend, however. Isay the minoritvl
 that although the power might be safely and wise with other women, they labor under absolute dis
 abilities for the functions and roughness of pub
 lie life. These disabilities are not of mans deyis ! ing. The Creator himself, when he placed upon woman the duty of wifehood and motherbood. by the very fact of those duties, and the attendant
 limitations of sex made her unfit for constant and continuous public life, unless she abstains from being either wife or mother"
 All that the state has g right to ask of
 the "wife and metheb' is that about
 twice year it should be but once) she should do five minutes public work in cast.

n9. Thomas Donahue, one of the en- tertainers of our Legislature at Green wich, has been held to trial for the murder of Florence Scannel, on the finding of a Coroner's Jury. We do not believe our legislators need have any serious fears for the safety of their friend. It is so long a time since New York politician has been hung. and they have done so much mur- dering in the meantime, that we are in- clined to think, that as far as they are con- cerned, hanging is played out"

THE ROYAL FAMILY OF ENGLANb.---

HAD TO PUNGLE-Thc older settlers
will rccollect Fayctte McMullcn, former
Governor Of Washington Territory, and a
gentleman who for many years represented
one Of the Virginia Districts in Congress.
During the Governors residence in this
Territory he was induced to lend Gar6eldc
the SUM Of one thousand dollars, on what
proved to be q slow note. This was some
ten or twelve years since, and from that
day onward the silvercd-tongued orator"
ignored the Indebtedness. Recently the
old Governor met Mr.. Gar6cldc at Wash
ingtou, and after exchanging civilitics, in
formed him that he must pay tho note, or
else he (McMullcn) would take it out Of
his hide. The Delegate demurrcd,
squirmed, and in all manner Of ways on
deavorcd to got out Of the FIX, but the
Governor was incxorable, and so making a
virtue Of necessity, hc paid the note. In
the next campaign, VIC presume, Gar6elde
will have pittitul story to tell OF how he
was swindled out of thousand dollars BY
an old rebel, and how in consequence he
was for mouths without bed for his fami-
ly to rest upon. The Radical chief finds

Dia Stanton Commit Suicide:

The Lacrosse Democrat still persists in
its assertion that Edwin II. Stanton COM
mitted suicide. It says:
He diei il the third story of house.
No one was allowed to see the corpse. He
was not laid in state, as the head of the
War Department should have been--as
other men Of prominence are. He died,
and was kept from sight. And none of
those who called to see the remains of the
''great statesman" could obtain a view Of
the corpse. In vain did his friends urge
that the body be laid in state in the War
Department. His grave clothes were made
to cover up his face. He was a member of
the Episcopal Church. and that church de-
ries to suicides graves under its prayers
and protection. And to have made known
the manner of his death would have been
the casting him ont from church rites an1
Christian burial. And this would have
had great political effect, and so consul
tation, called at IL o'clock at night, was
held, and it was decided that the truth
must not be known.
And, again, why was his body taken up
quietly the week after interment and an
other put in It's place? Simply that the
manner Of his death might never be prov

This surely is not right. SO careless
have We been of the Confederate dead bur
led at Gettysburg that there is wide
spread feeling IN the South, which has
found expression IL n mournful cry, that
her deal ought to be brought back to less
inhospitable soil. Now. that the South
should wish to have within her bosom the
ashes OF those who died for her is perfect
" just This even they who will not give
those dead the credit of patriotic motives
can hardly deny. But it is discreditable
to the North that Wa should wreak our
vengeance on those who have expiated
their fault " or " mistake" or " crime 4"
by their deaths. And what is it but wreak-
ing vengeance on corpses, when those in
charge of the Gettysburg Cemetery say
that ''thcr charter only provides for the
iuterment Of the remains of those who
died in the defence of the Union" But
no civilized nation would hesitate to do
honor to it's gallant enemies-no. not
even the Cossack. The ladies of the South,
the soldiers of the South-among them
their chief-are gathering their mites 80
bring these ashes Of their dead home. 1t
will be lasting disgrace if we do not ren-
! der it unnecessary Z. World.
