Grants Re-1lection scheme,

The huhlux programme has been
mapped out. Satisfied with the report OF
the Senate committee, the President will
send no special message on the subject to
congress The Radical joint committee of the
Senate and House cAucuses,i with Morton
and Butler at its head, will meet this morn
ing TO prepare a bill to be presented in both
branches Of Congress this afternoon, osten
sibly ITO protect loyal citizens of the Uulted
States in the full enjoyment of their rights,
persons, liberty, and property against Ku-
kldx outrages." Although nothing has yet
bsen done, 1t is supposed that bill will be
presented authorizing the appointment OF
United states commissioners to take cogni
mace of such offences, and to bring the
offenders for trial into the United States
courts and before Jurors that can take the
iron.clsd oath, The President will be EN-.
powered to employ the land and naval forces
Of the United States, at Gil times and places
in carrying into effect this new reconstruc-
ton scheme, and he is made virtually mil
i,ary dictator Of the South" Mr.. Sumne
called the attention Of the caucus to the fac
that people in the Northern States, too, wer,
deprived of their rights, and gave notice o
his intention to introduce supplemental
civil rights bill to remedy this defect. Tn
Radical caucus decided to legislate upon tn
Ku-Klux alone. The Democrats are pre-
pairing TO resist by all the means in thei
power this new bill Of denominations. Al

GAIL HAMILTON.

IF women were allowed to vote

would be the means of purifying
politics and elevating the standart
of morality among our officers ant

therefore, have better laws. snt
criminals would not be 20 often per

ment.
So says a Female Suffrage news

lieving Jew that I am, and read OF
eagerly through q column or more

ing upon the disasters Of our pres
ent laws, till I come to the conclu.
sion Of the whole matter in the fina
paragraph:
"When young women are permit.
ted to vote. they will net be long in
changing the unjust and tyrannical
laws which men bave made for them
and we mas Confidently expect that
they will soon find some way to pre-
vent intemperance and the sale OF
poisonous liquors, to shut up gam
ing-houses, and will prove that the
arm of the law can be made power
full enough to overthrow even the
social evil itself. And our legis-
lative halls viii not 90 often behold
such disgraceful scenes a. at present.
and our representatives will be
obliged to be moro dignifed and

the rapid success Of women in bring

HASTY MARRIAGES AND
DIVORCES.

Tho Providence Journal, in The
subjoined srtrls, throws out . sug.
gestiou which is worthy of considera-
ton by al who deprecate the fire.
quency Of divorces, and especially
by Legislators. 1t may also be Of
interest to those people, old and
young, who propose to enter into
the state of wedlOck:
The lowest view to be taken Of a
divorce is that it is the correction
Of . mistake. The court examines
and decides that two persons who,
after more or less acquaintance, have
made the most solemn possible con-
tract with each other, to live to-
gether for life, have discovered
something afterward which vitiates
the contract and makes it impos-
sible for them to carry it out. Il
decides not merely that tho contract
may be held in abeyance, but that
it shall be annulled, 80 that both
parties may form u new one with
somebody else, perhaps to renew
the mistake, and have it revised and
corrected again. Now it is certainly
q grave question. whether it is wise
and for the encouragement Of good
morals to be constantly correcting
such mistakes, instead Of obliging
the parties who have deliberately
made them to abide by them, as in
other less important contracts, and
and bear the consequences. But
it is also . question worth serious
consideration, whether it is not the
duty of the State to prevent as we'll
as to correct There 10 great facility
of divorce. But there would not be
20 much If there were not greater
facility of marriage.
The fact is, We begin 1t the wrong
end, and shut the stable door after
the horse il gone. II it were shttle
harder to get married, it would not
be necessary 20 often to be divorced
Once the intention Of marriage was
required to be made public, and
long enough before hand to arrest

and who is pefectly Indifferent on

And is there not shown, in the
construction put upon Mr.. Curtis's
words, an entire failure to compre-
hend their real scope ?. What sort
Of threat is it that has lain hitherto
behind every demand for the en-
largement Of the suffrage? In re-
covering from our late civil war,
we were sore pressed. On the one |
side was the danger Of putting the
ballot into the hands Of an ignorant
and inexperienced class, out of
whom intelligence, integrity, straight |
forwardness, independence had
been well-nigh crushed by genera
tions Of slavery. On the other side
were the ranks just conquered in
rebellion, whose monopoly of the
vote would be likely to betray the
newly-won states into the hands
from which they had been 90 hard
The danger from disloy-
atty seemed more imminent than
the danger of ignorance, and eman-
cipated slaves were entrusted with
the suffrage. Disaster to the nation
WAS the threat which lay behind
The demand for negro suffrage
demand made not 40 much by the
themselves as by the nation
which incurred the risk. The
threats which nave induced Eng
and to enlarge her suffrage have in
ike manner concerned the public
safety. A strong and resolute pop
ilace has made its wishes felt.
Armed mobs have alarmed the Gus
odians of the nation. Tumult, and
'iolence, and quiet fierce determin-
'tion, and despair born Of suffering
