licved to have shortened that officials

The following in an extract from
speech Of Mrs. E. c. Stanton, de
liveved at San Francisco recently:
The idea that woman is weak
inherently is grand mistake. She
is physically weak because she neg
lec,s her baths, because she violates
every law Of nature and of God,
because she dresses in a way that
would kill q man. l feel it my
mission to arouse every woman TO
bring her daughter up without
breaking her up in doing it. Our fe
m ale idea Of dress is all wrong. /
have conversed with good many
physicians, who tell me that it is
almost impossible to find a perfect
female skeleton. It's rare thing
to see a woman perfectly well. Blu
we can, if we choose, revolutionizt
this.

SHAME !--Our venomous co.emporary
of the Radical, is certainly not aware Of the
fact that by his repeating the ISLANDERS of
Senator Morton's vile copperhead enemies,
against his private character, he places him
self on a perfect equality with them, and
beneath the contempt OF any honest man.
His villianous insinuations against the Sena-
tors reputation, is only worthy Of one who
has become Injured to ieasting on the broth of
hell-slander and viItuperation and who, to
accomplish his petty revenge for imagined
injury, would thus play the role of the as
sassin Of moral character. But, when he
travels out of his way, and charges that the
"PALLADIUM is perfectly well aware of
anything that would tend 10 disgrace the pri-
vate life of our honored Senator, the editor of
the Radical will permit us plainly to tell him
that the Gather of lies" would be rejoiced to
call hin, an expert in the art of coming an I'M
mitigated falsehood, with the hope that it
would assist him in his degrading work II

We have made it speciality 10 refrain
from noticing The late P. Ms volumnious cat
erwaulings, and, in lieu. to bestow as much
comfort on him as we could, even recon.
mending to him the liberal use of Mrs. Wins
lows Soothing Syrup! But our efft rts, as
yet, have been futile. He has got the ilea
into his head, that Senator Morton, dispatch
ed hin, and that Judge Wilson had nothing
to do with his case Could we but get this
idea removed, we tn ink Isaac would become
reconcled ~ the situation, and never more
term bis removal, "a dirty job"
To relieve his readers, from the disagree.
able noise he is making, we suggest that, if
Senator Morton's influence and interference,
was as potent as alleged, and the pres
ent ". &. was as impotent as is charged,
isn't Isaac more indebted to the Senator, whom
he abuses, for his appointment in the place
of Mr.. Jones, than to his brother George, the
late d. c.? Reflect on the idea, Isaac, and
do not answer so important question hastily.
Surely Senator Morton's influence with Pres
ident Grant, was as potent then as now !?
Think, Isaac, and, assuage your grief!

Isaac pities the Palladium's "de-
ficiency in moral sense" because
it can not split hair on a gnat's
eye lash, and thus discriminate
between "puIient details Of abor-
ton cases" taken by his cotcmpor-
aries from the Police Gazette and
published, and the "purient' insin-
uations against some Of our most
worthy citizens, accusing them of
the same crimes, which he snaps
up fresh from the pen of some
vile slanderer and publishes in his
own aper! We pity his "defici-
ency in moral sense" as we'll as
