Mr.. Rogers, member from Arkansas,
stirred to ire dire our Department ladies'
BIZ big assertion, that numbers OF Them
obtained their places through improper re-
lations with members.
1t was in the course of the House de-
! bate to give the women clerks equal pay
with men for equal work. The philosop-
hc minded ladies', however, consoled
themselves that the debate, Mr.. Rogers
SANDER included, Injured to their advan-
tage. Mr.. Rogers irritated some men and
women into the woman's rights ranks, and
others were converted by the confession
Of Mr.. Dawes and other members, that
for woman's sake the salaries had better
not be cqualizcd. While men had votes,
and women no., the former would compel
the creatures Ct voters, Members of Con
grcss, ard such, to give them the places
now occupied by the ladies as soon as the
only obstacle to their invasion, the ccono-
myof lower salaries. was removed. '1Iet
us vote, then, said ladies who had never
said 50 before. Being constituents as
well as the men, We shall not only be able
to beat them off from our share of the
places at equal pay, but we shall present
reasons to be respected by our constituted
why they should think twice before they
volunteer to assign discrcdiiablc agencies
for our place-holding." a.#

Well, Mr.. Whittomore (mcmbcr from
South Carolina) convicted Of having sold
one military and tnc naval cadelsbp, has
escaped expulsion from the House hy re.
signing his scat. Having confessed to the
taking of money, he could not hope, even
with the help of Gen Butler as his coun-
sci, to escape in any other manner. That
he gave the money TO the poor Of his dis
iric;, if true, could not be allowed rs Il
