THE Chicago Journal says that the Rev. Mr.,
Conklin, who is now in Philadelphia, but re-
Gently resided in Chicago, refused to allow his
church to take up collection for the sufferers
in Chicago, on the grounds that he knew Chi
cago well, and in his opinion the calamity was
manifest indication of the displeasure of the
Almighty with the wickedness of the city, and
he did not therefore propose to NEEDLE with
the affair. 1t is quite probable that MIR. Conk-
ling is stranger to the Sermon on the Mount.
IT is said that in England machine has
been invented which reports speeches as fast as
they can be uttered. Perhaps it will prove a
perfect substitute for the reporter, but there
would be some shocking speeches if printed as
ueilvered. 1t would then be seen that the best
speecnes have double authorship, the speak
er and the reporter.

WOMAN SUFFRAGE in tie District of Colum-

WOMAN SUFFRAGE in tie District of Colun-
bia will be postponed for the present, the Su-
preme Court having decided adversely to the
women claiming political rights Washing
ton dispatch says that the court will, however
along with this denial of the right of suffrage
to women under the constitution of the Dis
trict, intimate distinctly and directly that the
privilege is doubtless secured to them by the
Constitution of the United States, and that is
only remains for the legislative power to define
and properly limit it to entitle them to full ex-
ercise. The court will not, however, hold that
the privilege of suffrage is natural right, but
that it is legal and conventional power TO be
exercised by all persons whom the Censtitu-
ton declares citizens of the United States.
The counsel for the advocates of women suf-
frage will appeal from the district to the feder-
al Supreme Court, and the problem is thus in
a fair way for adjudication by the highest and
final tribunal

WHAT the Tories offer to the workingmen
of England in lieu of political power is pre-
cisely what the opponents of woman suffrage
offer to women sugar plums. They offer
patronage, protection, consideration and afew
concessions of social privileges. Both women
and workingmen are far too shrewd to be i'm
posed upon by such impudence. With the
ballot in their hands they can compel a con-
cession of their rights, without suing to any
superior or holding them subject to ancthers
will. And they ask nothing but their rights.
They disdain to accept sugar-plums-espec-
tally from the very persons who have stolen
and who persistently withhold their whole
patrimony.

another Bubble Burst.

We copied a few weeks ago, from the Co.
lumbia Union, for what it was worth, o SEN
sation story about the Ku-Klux in York.
The story, as we expected at the time,
proves utterly false. Mr.. NJ. o'Conneli, OF
Fort Mill, resigned the Office of trial justice
voluntarily, because it did not suit him. The
citizens thereuron held a meeting, and APP
pointed a committee to select a suitable per-
son, whose name was sent to the Governor,
with the request that he would appoint the
nominee. This was the %oundatlo Of the
X. X. X. story in York County, and OF the
outcry raised over it in every Radical sheet
throughout the land. To he sure, q journal
is liable to be imposed upon in a matter Of
this kind, and an evil. disposed person may,
with malicious intent, send accommodation
to q newspaper, libelling q whole commu-
nifty. But when the truth to light, as
it has done in this case, ought not every
journal that gave circulation to the report
make amends by publishing the correction?
And yet, strange to say, we have net seen
the correction published in a single Radical
sheet. Lest, however, ONE Of our Repub-
lican contemporaries should have failed to,
see the correspondence, as published in the
Renia, we here append the most important
part of it; the letter Of Mr.. O'Connell him

something to the venture. Mr.. Ruskin out:

have nj liberty uponit, but instant obedience

Pay as o Go.

'.Foor Richard' r. yer said anything more
simple, more pithy, or that will commend
itself more readily to the attention OF all
classes than the mandatory quartette that
heads cur article. 1t is the first command
ment in the great moral law OF business, and
the great secret of true success in life.
Strange to say, its wisdom, justice and equl-
ty are never disputed; and yet there are
few good rules" so frequently infringed.
Moreover, we believe, that in America this
precept is more frequently set aside than in
the other portions Of the globe; and here,
again, nowhere so much as with us in the
South. Credit has always been too easy,
and the temptation to incur obligations, to
go into debt, so constant and,so~ insinuatinS,
that it was seldom resisted. The consequent
ces were most pernicious to healthy growth,
to true progress or prosperity. The years
produce, in too many cases, was discounted
consumed beforehand. This was the case
in almost every grade OF society, and natu-
rally bcgat habits Of extravaganza. Thrift
was considered decidedly %ungenteel. The
pennies were not saved, and, of course, in
many cases there were no pounds to be taken
care of. War came, with its social revolu-
ton. and o financial crash, thorough and
universal, was the consequence. The bank
rupJ law was brought into requisition ass
measure of relief, benedting the lawyers ana
enriching officials, al the expense OF the
rightful creditor, and in very many cases
demoraliziug the insolvent debtor. That
period also has now passed away. Our peo-
pie have taken a new start! But are they
any wiser: Do We pay as we go? Do we
conline our wants to the limits OF our means?
Are We frugal, economical, and careful
always to make both ends meet? We wish
we could answer these heterogeneous in the
affirmative. And yet have we had abuu-
dant incentive to economy. Short crops,
caterpillars, low prices, high aud numerous
taxes, demoralized labor, all contributed
their quota to keep us poor; even though we

paid cash for everything we used; that is to
say, even though we had not spent before
hand the little we made. But when % all
these drawbacks is added the item Of inter
est on ~sadvances, at thefate OF from 1 ITO
is, and even "a per cent. a year, can any
body, with a grain of common sense, be sur
prised that our condition does not improve:
Many of our disabilities are beyond our
control. We can plot and plan, and plough,
SOW and cultivate, but we cannot command
the rain or the sunshine. We cannot pro-
vide against %caterpillars in cotton, or rusti in
wheat. We cannot make the negro other
than he is, and we cannot always prevent
cotton or rice being stolen after it is made.
We cannot shake of an onerous customs
tariff, or q m%ultitudlnous internal revenue
Tax. Nor can we as yet help paying an
enormous city, State and county tax, be-
cause it is out of our power to make our
rulers either honest or competent. But we
can determine to live within our income, not
to go into debt, to deny ourselves whatever
we have not the money to buy. We can re-
solve to make. no 'sstore accounts" and re-
ceive no advances from factors. We know
that we shall be met with arguments in
abundance to show that our position is I'm
tenable; that credit is necessary; that the
lands cannot be worked upon any other sys-
tenn, and so on. We are quite prepared for
these objections. We have encountered
them almost daily ever since the war, and
yet we fail to see that those who have gone
upon the credit principle have advanced one
step toward a healthy s~elf-supporting, inde-
pendent existence. They have worked for
the factor, the merchant and the tax-gath-
erer, and are worse off to-day than they
were two years ago. Many are now forced
to try the other plan from sheer necessity.
They no longer have any credit. They must
either pay or do without. Necessity is a
stern teacher, but when her lessons are
needed they generally produce most sa!utary
results. II a farmer has not capital enough
to employ twenty laLorers, let him only hire
ten. II he cannot feed these even, let him
knuckle down to the work himself with such
members of his family as are physically able
to assist him-make a new start in life, as it
were, and by straiuing every nerve, by being
energetic, industrious and economical, be
may gradually retrieve his broken fortunes.
"Pay as you go' is a good rule in every
department OF life, and one that is rarely
violated with impunity.
