GOOD GIRL
An Appeal from One of the NIniority-A Pro-
test Agninst Miss Anthony.

An Appeal from One e ,. The n,IorsyA Pro-
TO the Editor of The Tribune
for one am getting alarmed, and disposed TO
appeal, vainy perhaps Tor help. In the name
of the majority Of the women OF this land call
upon men to help us against our sisters. Is
there not some probability, daily growing
stronger, of the passage of the sixteenth amend
ment TO the Constitution If passed without
being first submitted to the women OF America
it will be an outrage.
The small, dissatisfied minority have not the
shadow OF a right to force upon us measure
which the most of lis heartily and earnestly de-
test If the men will only stand faithful, and
firmly refuse to let us be dragged into a work
for which we are wholly untitled by nature,
education, and tastes, the blessing the majority
of the ''fair sex" will rest upon them.
If these Woman Suffrage women only had n
single forcible, sensible argument TO urge in
proof that the ballot will be of any use to us,
one might have some patience with them. AS it
is, their empty, utterly prohtless talk about OPP
presslon tyranny, aud the like fills me with
disgust and horror, as am forced to fear that
see the approach OF the dreadful day. Al wish
every woman and every man would read DIR.

Stanton, or Miss Dickinson, would answer IL: I

lLiiOn style, but dnsacer all his arguments and
refute them if they can. ! think the work would
convert them. -.. DID.
In such a nation as this, where in most of the
States the laws are absurdly, and uujustly
almost in favor of women, this movement
seems to me the height of folly and uselessness.
For one, would quite as willingly be admitted
to the rights OF the bullet TO the rights of the
ballot. 'We have right to vote" has nothing
to do with it so far as can see. Perhaps we
have, so far as man is concerned, but we GER

The Indictment of Prince Bonapnrte.
By the AngLo-Amertean Cable
PARIS, Feb. 10.-The decision Of the High
Court, published to-day in the newspapers, is
more serious than reported before By order of
the Court dated on the 18th of February, 1870,
Pierre Napoleon Bonaparte is to be judged first
for having committed voluntary homicide on
the person of Victor Noir and that this was
preceded or followed by an attempt on the per-
son of Uric Fouville; second, for having at
tempted the homicide of Fouville. This order
places the Prince under Article 304 of the penal
code, the punishment being death. In the case
of eXtenuatiDg circumstances, the Court can
lessen the sentence by two degrees.
1t is reported to-day that the sessions of the
High Court will be held at Tours, in the Depart
ment of Indre-et-Loire. a. ut .... .I

from THE PLAINS.
Terrible sunerInEs from Exposure.

CHICAGO, Feb. ia letter from Fort Aber-
crombie says that Friday, the 11th, there was
the most tempestous storm on the plains ex-
perienced this winter. On that day, Charles
Warner, in company with six soldiers and an
Indian scout, left Fort Ransom Tor Abercrombie.
The soldiers and the scout were soon left behind,
and Mr. Warner heard no more of them until
Saturday evening, while stopping at a station on
the route. The scout came in badly frozen and
hardly able to talk, reporting that the
soldiers the day previous had got lost in
driving storm, and, unhitching the mules, had
camped out upon the prairie, all being more or
less frozen. The Indian covered four of them
with snow, the other two preferring to remain
in the open sleigh, and started for assistance.
He travelled that night and all the next day,
and finally arrived at the station, but 50 badly
frozen and exhausted as to have no clear idea
where the soldiers were left buried. His tracks
having been covered by the drift, it was impos-
sible to follow them back, and no search was
made for the missing men, and they are pro
badly dead. The same day two men chopplng
wood near Alexandria we're lost, and have not
since been heard of.

Boston, Feb. 19.-The last night train from
New York did not arrive here until about
1'30 this afternoon, owing to the washing away
of the track by the heavy rain of last night.
CONCORD, N. H. Feb. 19-The storm cleared
off early this morning, and at noon the ther-
mometer indicated 20 above zero. Heavy thuu-
der showers are reported north of here. The
night train over the Northern Road was
detained for two heurs by the washing of earth
upon the rails in several places. The Suncook
Valley was washed as to prevent the running of
trains. The Merrimac river is rising fast, but
it has cleared off cold, and it is NOT apprehended
that the river will rise high enough to cause

THE DAILY EVENING SATURDAY,

IHB GRAHAM-MooHEY CoNTEsr.-The legis-
lative committee appointed to investigate the
claims OF Graham to contest the seat of Mooney
from the Sixth district met in Samson street,
below Eighth, at 10 o'clock this morning. Az
the beginning of the proceedings the question
arose as to the legality of admitting the papers
and ballots as evidence. The committee, after
prolonged deliberation, decided that the papers
could be so offered. The box containing the
papers as filed In the Prothonotarys Office was
with the proven facts. The ballots were then
offered. Mr. j. Alexander Simpson, counsel for
Mr.: Graham, offered to open the ballot-boxes,
which was objected to by the counsel for the
other side, on the ground that such procedure
was not contained in the specifications OF the
petition. This had also been the ground Tor the
objection to the papers being offered in evil
dence which the committee had decided TO
admit.
The committee, after again deliberating de-
cided to admit the ballots as evidence. The
counsel for Mr.. Mooney thereupon asked the
committee to adjourn for the OresenL, because
by this action the committee hal taken the sit
ting member and his counsel by surprise, and
time was required for consultation. The conn-
sci also stated that the proceedings in the early
part of the day had been unexpected. Some
fifteen or twenty citizens had been subppnaed
ae witnesses, and had been examined as to
which way they had voted at the election.
On motion of Mr.. BroOst, from Berks county,
the committee adjourned to meet in Harrisburg
next Wednesday to consult, and on next Satur-
day afternoon in Philadelphia to receive testi-
moDy.

THE INCONVENIENCEs OF THROUGH TRAVEL.
Travellers who use the through line from New
York to Washington are greatly Inconvenience
by the arrangements now in force on that line,
and are camorous that Congress shall adopt
bill chartering new airline railroad company,
that cannot be bought up or merged into exist
ing corporations. AS the present arrangements
are little comfort is afforded the traveller. In
Baltimore the sleeper is aroused by horrid
bawling sound that issues from tin Qorn during
the snail's-pace transit by horsepower through
that city. This is kept up for thirty minutes
during the trip between Camden and President
stations. The transfer around Philadelphia is
done amid humping and whistlings from dom
key-engines causing delay of thirty minutes
more, during which time it is impossible to
sleep. The managers seem to take little interest
in the comfort of the traveller. He is told when
he fails to get seat to stand up or go by some
other line. The regular car for Philadelphia
leaving Washington at 1245 in the day, is an old,
worn-out, broken-down sleeping car, which
comes down again at night to accommodate
sleepers. 1t smells like police headquarters
or Philadelphia court house. The same depot
accommodations used here now were considered
insufficient twenty years ago. Sometimes the
rear cars upon arrival of train at Baltimore,
Jersey City, or Washington are three hundred
feet ont in the mud and passengers are obliged
10 walk through it to the depot or go through
the cars, which latter is very disagreeable and
dangerous to aged persons. Those who reach
the train too late to buy ticket must pay 30
cents extra between here and Baltimore % cents
extra to go through Baltimore, and an addi-
tional extra charge on each of the three other
roads he passes over before reaching New York.
The same rule works both ways. In most cases
these extra charges fall upon poor persons who
do not know the requirements eXacted by the
five companies between Washington, Baltimore,
Philadelphia, and New York.

named William Snowden and Leonard Dill en-
tered into an alteration at Tenth and SAMSON
streets, during which Dill attempted to pick
Snowden's pocket, whereupon SnOwden drew a
pistol and threatened TO blow Dill's brains out.
An officer coming along, both were arrested and
taken before Alderman Morrow, where Snowden
accused Dill of attempting to pick his pocket,
aud Dill accused Snewden of threatening to kill
him. Din was held in $500 bail and Snowden in
500 to answer
