WOMAN'S RIGHTS IN MEMPHIS.
A Lady Receives q Registration Ger.
tifleate I'm the Fifth Ward.

Il AHeJ Receives - ke8hstFataOn Ger
tifleate in the Fifth ward.
From the Memphis Avalanche, Dec. 10.
Yesterday morning while Mr.. A. r.
DroesheF, Register Of the Fifth ward. was
busly engaged in issuing certificates to
'sfree American citizens" he was startled
by a voice that evidently belonged 10 the
fair sex, asking if this was 'sthe Registers
Office for the Fifth Ward?r Looking an
from his work Mr.. Droesher smiled raas-
suringly, and informed the lady that il
was.
swell, sir, wish to register?v
on J Ell! what, you want to vOte?r
u want to register, as l have right to
do, under the tenth section Of that chapter
OF the charter which governs Registers
Mr.. Droesher, in rather an astounded
state Of mind, looked up the chapter referred
to, which read as follows:
Sand be it further enacted, that the char
ter Of the city Of Memphis be SO modified
and amended as to provide that hereafter
al owners Of real estate situated within the
corporate limits Of said city of Memphis up-
on which taxes are assessed and collected,
shall be entitled to vote in all the municipai
elections in said city for city officers, wheth-
er said owners of real estate are resident
within the limits of the city or mott
This settled it, and asking the name Mr..
Droesher wrote down opposite number 355
In bis book the name of Mrs. Elizabeth Ave
ry MerTiweather. After seeing her name
properly entered, and receiving her certif-
cate, which states that sheis entitled to vote
in the fifth ward at any municipal election
in 1872, Mrs. Merriweather bowed, and
took her leave.
The ice is now broken, and il is expected
that all the ladies qualified will take out
their registration papers at once. With this
new element in the field, who can say who
will be our next Mayor?
