W0mnn's Suffrage.

The National Woman's Suffrage Associa-
tion came out particularly defiant against
the male kind in general during its session
yesterday. Mrs. Stanton, one of the leading
spirits Of the bright galaxy, thought that the
secession threatened by women (meaning her
self and assocates) had at last frightened the
press into respectful language towards
the Woman's Suffrage Convention. Another
lady, Mrs. Hallock, launched out upon
her favorite topic, the social evil; while Miss
Anthony, among other bright things, said that
women who were competent to obtain liveli-
hood wero competent to cast ballot. As the
best proof Of this argument she referred TO the
advertising columns Of the HERALD.
One speaker, Mrs. Middlebrook, talked
abou. organizing society for the prevention
of cruelty to women, as women. she said. are
more 10 need Of protection than even Mr..
BergA's protf9ss. Shs gave the eminently
gentle and feminine advice TO her sex to 60
to the polls, If necessary, armed with re-
volvers, In order to enforce their right to
the exercise of suffrage. Altogether the pro-
cecdings seem to have been very spirited, and
the Convention dissolved to meet again in
Washington and to establish new political
party, 'based on the declaration of 1776," il
Congress should refuse 10 como 10 terms on
the basis now proposed.

CAPAcIous as is the nav Of tie Pennsyl-
vania Central Railroad Company, still it has
failed TO engulf the State of New Jersey, or
rather the major portion Of that Common
wealth, which Ia controlled by the Camden
and Amboy mcnopolists. Jerseymen, how
ever, are under no obligations to the united
companies FOR not being made an ornamental
appendage TO the Keystone State; Camden
and Amboy was perfectly willing to make the
transfer, but the Reading Railroad Of Pennsyl-
vania somewhat interiered with the arrange
ment, and for the present Jersey remains an

In foreign war can afford to be generous,
and the victorious party in domestic war
ought to be generous. How else, looking to
the South, can we heal the wounds still left
open from the war? General Sherman, then,
is the proper man for the democratic party.
General Grant, and not only will the Union
supporters of the war be divided between
them, but the courtesies of brother soldiers
will prevail in the campaign between the two
parties. The violent hostilities between the
two parties and the two races will disappear
in the South for, as many Of the blacks will
be drawn to Sherman and the democrats, the
bitterness Of the whites against them will
change into better feeling, and the present
danger of war of races will be removed.
On the Ku Klux question General Sherman
will neutralize the popularity of General
Grant on the Joint High Commission; and on
the war and the issues of the war the two par
ties, with Sherman opposed to Grant, will
stand substantially on the same footing before
the people. Thus, then, upon the great fnan-
cial questions of the day, the democracy,
under the banner of Sherman, may, North and
South, secure the balance Of power in the
election. In short, if for the great Presiden-
tial battle of 1872 General Grant is the only
man for the republicans, General Sherman, of
all men, is the man for the democracy. Let
them try him, and the party will at once rise
to its feet, ''like giant refreshed with new
wine" North and South, East and West. Try
him, for the field is open for Sherman, and tho
coast Is clear.

ANOTHER RAILROAD SLAUGnTER.-A la
mentable accident occurred onsthe Erie Rail-
road yesterday, by which FIVE children lost
their lives and twenty adults were severely
injured. According to the report from Buffalo
freight train was delayed TO recouple an
emigrant car and caboose, which had twice
broken loose. Whils being recoupled the
second time, and just before the signal could
be reset the extra freight train came thunder
ing along the down grade, collded and
crushed everything before 1t. The result we
have given above. or course, responsibility
must rest somewhere for the worthless coupling
but tho difficulty always Is 10 find out who
Is responsible. AS the unfortunate creatures
whose children were killed were newly arrived
emgrants, they are not likely TO become plain
tifis in suits for damages; but we hold that
they are none the less worthy OF the utmost
care and attention from theralroad companies.
They should not be placed 10 cars whose comp
lings are so frail and unreliable that they
break twice within distance Of few miles.

wendell Phillips and the Ku Kiux.
Everybody knows that Wendell Phillips is a
common scold; but he speaks such incon-
ceivable nonsense with such earnestness and
such indescribable grace that his words
always carry some force with them At
the recent meeting Of the self-styled Reform
League at Steinway Hall he brought his
tersest sentences to bear upon the Ku Klux,
and If one did not fully comprehend the
belligerency of this stately male Kan
tippe he would be convinced that civil
war, with all the horrors of Paris and more
than the persistency of our late rebellion, was
upon us. Mr.. Phillips said President Grant
ought to arrest some prominent ex-Confed-
erate-some man of wealth and influence, pos
sessing the love of half the Southern people
and hang him within six hours Then, he said,
Ku Klux would be name only for nursery
legends; but if it or something similar were not
done, new rebellion would be instituted
and be suppressed again by the
North. This talk, Of course, Is mere
childish twaddle. Mr.. Phillips Is moth

unlimited liberation are not the days for him.
lie was gallant champion in the times when
mobs greeted his anti-slavery invectives and
replied to his abolition sentiments by rotten
eggs and rough treatment, and he would have
spoken better than Junius wrote had he lived
in the days of the Georges. The opposition
would have served to strike fire from his hardy
me.tle. But now there is no antagonlsm. No
one cares much what he says, and the world
laughs while he beats himself to death against
padded wall.
His charges, however, against the tyran-
grounded. These are the windmills against
which he ought to turn his lance with all his
old spirit and still present power. He can
say nothing against them that the people ara
unprepared to believe, and there are evils to
be dreaded from their rising power and con-
tinued aggressions that his tcrse English can
best denounce They offer an object for
new crusade, in which Phillips, acting
the part first of Peter the Hermit,
could finally take up the sword OF
Godfrey de Bouillion. We are glad to
see that the fearless champion has lost
none Of his miraculous power of invective.
Even upon so intangible an evil as the Ku
Klux he brought to bear q remarkable stress
OF invective, which would have been remark
ably effective had the facts borne out bis case.
In his crusade against the aggression Of giant
CORPORATIONS he has an object as worthy Of
him as the old slavery question and one that
will offer him strong and aggressive opposition
enough to strike ont oil the FIRE that 10 in him.
Let him, therefore, cease his crushing warfare
upon what Is at best weak enemy, and
strike with all his force at the most gigantic
and merciless enemy that now menaces free
America.

Rullol, the Murderer, ON Good and Evil-Hi.
Last Chance Removed.

Last Chance Removed.
The condemned murderer Rulloff has been,
at the order of Governor Hoffman, subjected
to searching examination by commission
of prominent physcians-Drs Gray and Van
derpool-with a view to finding out whether
the wretched man was sane or otherwise.
The appointment Of this commission is credit
able to the Governor of New York, since it
sets at rest any doubts that might have
formed in the public mind on the subject.
They pronounce him Ct perfectly sound mind,
and, indeed, he repudiates strongly the idea
Of lunacy himself. Now that this question
may be looked upon as settled, the query
remains, shall Rulloff, because of his philo-
logical attainments, escape the penalty Of his
crime any more than ignorant Jack Reynolds,
who believed hanging to be played out2 The
sentiment awakened by his scholarship has
created q scale of reasoning in his case
entirely apart from the nature of his crime.
There is little doubt that the account of this
striking interview with the physicians, pub
lished in to-day's HERALD, will heighten this
feeling in painful way. 1t may be prema-
ture to draw deductions from the subtle old
sinners carefully mystic replies, but they un-
mistakably point to strengthening the grip of
justice upon him. How many men have
studied tenfold more deeply than he, hun
gered mentally after the same intellectual
ends, wrestled with and been overcome by the
same doubts, and yet preserved their social
lives free from the terrible taints of per-
sistent crime which have blackened to
damnation the repute of his researches.
has refused, like the Peripatetics, to &C
cept anything not reducible to mathematical
laws but, unlike them, he boasts Of defying
what he cannot comprehend. The terms
good and bad gave him great trouble,
and finding them to express relativeness he
acted in defiance of both. Hc also boasts
that he always acted without any reference to
a God or an accountability hereafter. With
out wishing to force any belief on man, we
hold that when such man robs or murders he
is as accountable to society as any one holding
the firmest religious convictions. If, as in his
case, reason teaches him his unaccountability
In the taking of life, does 1t take away the
duty Of society to itself9 No perversion Of
the intellect, outside of lunacy, could allow
him to believe In right to murder His
sanity is established, and il, therefore, the
law for mutual protection says that the gal
lows is his lot, the duty Of the law-dealers
should be plain.

state Of things lasted. It recalls forcibly the
celebrated duel of the Earl Of Chatham with
Sir Richard Strachan, the epigram on which
we VIII De excused for parodyiug. since 1t
describes the Slight" to nicety:-
Coburn cornered wouldn't bulge pace
But waited smilngly for Mr.. Mace;
VIM" hnrr MI. Mace whose rage did wondrous slow
smirked and waited for the corncred Coburn.
AT the end of an hour and half CRY of
"Police! !" was raised, when, to the relief of the
sensible sloggers, Canadian justice Of the
peace and quaint little man with cooked
hat and straight sword" walked into tho
'ring" ard ordered them in the Queens name
to dispense, observing at the same time that
detachment of twenty Of the champion run
ners of the Canadian volunteers-the Queens
Own-were within gunshot, and would run a
Ridgeway race after them if necessary. At
this gentle hint the much obliged gladiators
put on their garments and left, their fifteen
hundred heroic friends being already half
mile of.
1t is curious TO think how long the
slight would have lasted had it not been
for the Sheriff in the cooked hat, who dropped
in like dream of old chivalric times with
his remark, Gentlemen, this can't 60 on
any longer" They would probably be there
yet. BY curious corollary they think of
having their next s'mill' on the same scale on
the prairies Of Kansas, to show the bowie
knived border rufians there the humanizing
influence of modern civilization on the most
debasing Of oil scoundrelly exhibitions.
Then they will exhibit their forbearance in
Alaska and wind up among the Ku Kluxes in
South Carolina, where 1t is to be hoped the
lesson will not be thrown away.
Thus ends the latest chapter in the decline
and fall of pugilism, with its sham heroism
and cowardly presumption, forming complete
REPUTATION Of the gladiatorial gories of pugna-
cious rufRanism. sr
