WOMAN SUFFRAGE.-Senator Carpenter, of
Wisconsin, wrote letter to Theodore Tilt0n,
q short time ago, on the question of woman
suffrage, wherein he takes the view that suf-
frage is right and not privilege, and that it
is not conferred on women by either the Four
teenth or Fifteenth Amendment, and in the
concluding part of his letter he says that :" I
have no doubt, as far as these amendments are
concerned, of the power of any State to ex-
clude citizens from the right of suffrage for
any other reason or account than race, color,
or previous condition of servitude." In the
course of his argument, he further says that
''the Constitution, deriving its authority from
the will of the people, mast be construed as it
aOas understood at the time Of its adoption"
This is certainly "new departure" from the
Radical theory of constituting the Constitution.
The construction placed upon any provision of
the Constitution by the Radical leaders has
heretofore been the one best calculated to SUBJ
serve party ends; and whenever they were
unable by any system of logic, to justify their
course on constitutional grounds, they boldly
proclaimed that they were working outside of
that document and fell back on the ''higher
law" theory. Senator Carpenter, however,
finally confesses that "the Constitution must
be construed as it was understood at the time
of it's adoption" He virtually acknowledges
that nine.tenths of the legislation of Congress,
during the past ten years, is without any war
rant in the Constitution when such construc-
ton is gwen the various articles and sections
of that almost obsolete instrument. Mr.. Til
ton, whose recent disgusting and blasphemous
biographical sketch of the life of Mrs.
Woodruff Blood has convinced people of his
insanity, differs from Senator Carpenters
opinion. and insists that the right of suffrage
is bestowed upon women by the Fourteenth
Amendment and that the Fifteenth prohibits
any State from curtailing or abridging the
right except in punishment of crime. he
takes the opposite view that, no matter what
was the intention at the time of the drafting
or adoption of the Fourteenth Amendment, 1T
secures by its wording the right of suffrage to
women, and that therefore it is only through
force and by tyranny that they are deprived Of
the right. Congress will no doubt be again
beset at its approaching session for the passage
of decaratory or some other kind of act
recognizing women as voters; and the cause
of the Growing hens is daily receiving acces-
sions to it's ranks from such class of men as
Judge Underwood of Virginia, Ben Butler of
Massachusetts, and A. A. Sargent of California.

 Cheshire, which are more favorable te
 English than those of the other moderate,
 by twenty.three. The moderator of New Haven made statement in writing to the board from which we make the following extract: a4e :. j e.
