WOMAN NoTER.-On Saturday last.
Miss Carrie l.. Burnham. accompanied by
Damon Y. kilgore, Esq her law preceptor
and legal adviser also by the vouchers de-
manded by law, went before the Board OF
Assessors and demanded TO be registered and
assessed as a voter claiming To be a citizen
of the United States. and therefore entitled
10 the privileges and immunities of citizen
ship. The canyassers at first objected on
account OF her sex. Mr.. kilgore then read
to them the law, explaining that citizenship
was not confined TO sex. and that women,
from the foundation of our Government
had been recognized as citizens, and that
now, under the Constitution of the United
States, with its amendments, they were just
ly entitled to all the privileges of citizen
ship equally with man. Her name was then
registered, she having made the required
affidavit, and she received her certificate OF
assessment, which she took to the office of
the Receiver of Taxes, rendering Herewith
her fifty cents. With but little discussion.
Mr.. Beatty received her tax and gave her
tax receipt in his own handwriting. One
woman is ready for voting.-Phild. Press.

THE ST. LOUIS FAIR.
MIssfssiPPI Again Takes the
Sweepstakes ON Cotton.
Exhibitors coming to Mississippi State Fair

SOUTHERN HOTEL, ST. Louisa
October 7th, 1871. I
DEAR CLARIoN-The Eleventh Annual
Fair of the st. Louis Agricultural Associa-
ton has just closed, and as am seated to
give you few jottings concerning the same
| am no little perplexedhow TO begin and
/ how to condense the volume that might be
written about the great exhibition.
The "tidal wave" or some other calamity
at Manchac, interfering with the passage OF
trains, we only succeeded in leaving Jack
son last Wednesday evening at AZ O'Clock,
on freight train but, thanks to Mr.. Lyon,
the conductor, and the courtesy of Central
| railroad officials, in holding the train at
Canton, we made very close connection at
said place. We took breakfast at Jackson,
Tenn, and dinner at Colum bus, KY, and
then taking advantage of ticket from w
K. Allen, Esq, General Ticket Agent of
the st. Louis and Iron Mountain Railroad,
we arrived in this city on Thursday night
at 10 o'clock-thirty hours from Jackson.
The distance from Columbus to st. Louis is
nearly 200 miles. Passengers are saved the
steam boat trip to Cairo. A transfer loco
motive places the train on the steam boat at
Colum bus. After crossing the river, an
elegant dinner awaits you for the moderate
sum of seventy-ive cents. These are small
items to note, but they are worth remem-
ing.
On arriving in this city, we drove to the
southern HOTEL" but so crowded was this,
as well as every other hotel, rooms could
not be obtained. Finally, my friend Ash
and self were assigned to room "B''-a mil
linery store suddenly transformed into a
sleeping apartment. 1t contained not less
than twenty-nine iron cots, reminding one
of a military hotel, or of the celebrated
Groom 40,' of RagsdAle House notoriety.
We found a great many Mississippians at
the Southern, apd all were prompt to tell
us of the fine treat we missed in not being
present on Thursday-the big day of the
Fair. The crowd in attendance at the Fair
on that day was estimated at one hundred
thousand, the gate fees amounting to ST.
6l5. The total gate fees for the week
amouD6 to 500 us, against So, 206 last year.
Adding $22,047 for booth privileges, the to-
tai receipts foot up $SS,s22. Would not the
Directory of our Mississippi State Fair feel
happy in realizing one-fourth the amount?
Then your parks and pleasure drives and
walks would come in as the natural aux
iliaries of our Fair grounds.
