BILL passed the Pennsylvania Senate
last week which authorizes the cumulative
system Of voting in all the boroushs of the
ommonwealth at the elections for members
OF town Councils. Under the provisions OF
the bill voters may either distribute their
votes among the different candidates or cum
uiate upon one or more as they shall choose.
This bill IL IL passes the House will permit a
more general test Of this particular plan of
minority representation than has before been
possible under the usual mode OF choosing
officers. The most profound statesmen of the
time now favor the adoption of some system
whereby minorities shall be able to secure a
more just representation. Indiana has en-
bodied this principle in her fundamental law
and If it is defeated in Pennsylvania it will
be owing to the opposition of a Democratic
Senate to the proposed constitutional con.
vention.

DEATH OF FATHER TAYLOR. Father Tay-
lor, who was known and revered through New
England as the Sailors Chaplain at the Bethel
in Boston, died about midnight of Tuesday,
at the age of n years ard three months. He
died calmly and peacefully in the full posses
sion of his faculties after a confinement to his
house of about ten days. Father Taylor was
native of Richmond, Va, and spent considera-
BILE of his early life at sea, serving in the Span.
ish service against the French at one time and
becoming captive to An English cruiser. His
more important work was begun and continued
in Boston for almost sixty years, among the
seamen, for whom he manifested an abiding
love. The Seamen's Bethel and the Mariners
Home were among the material monuments OF
his activity; but doubtless thousands Of souls
have been saved by bis fervent and effective
preaching. Father Taylor was member OF
the Mas mic, Odd Fellow ana several other So
cieties, and occupied important POSITIONS I'd

Political Notes.

Annapolis, Maryland, which for five years
was carried by the Democrats, went Republ
can by large majority on Monday.
Only section Of the republican Germans,
led by Carl Schur's German paper in 81.
Louis, held out against the reunion of the
Missouri Republicans,-and their hesitation is
because of opposition to Gen. Grant.
The New York Evening Post shows how
little work or influence for revenue reform can
be hoped for from the democrats, by pointing
out the fact that the national democratic res.
ident committee of Washington, created to
distribute public documents and otherwise in
struct public opinion, is strongly protection in
its make up. Samuel ]. Randall of Pennsyl-
vania is the chairman, and he is as much of a
protectionist as Judge Kelley or Daniel J.
Morrell, while several other members OF the
committee are OF the same stripe, and will be
sure not to favor revenue reform documents.
The democrats have pretended to be very
anxious for revenue reform, but it is nolicea-
bic that they do very little to accomplish any
tnIn2 IN that direction.

The last report fiom Connecticut gives Eng

The Portsmouth Journal instances the re-
moval OF Senator John p. Hale from the
Craftsmanship of the Naval Committee by Sec.
retary Welles, and as precisely similar to
Summers case, and that Mr.. Hale also refused
to serve on another committee to which he
was appointed chairman. 1t is also stated
that when Mr.. Sumner was in Dover he call
ed, but Mr. Hale refused to see him, as Mr..
Hale attributed his recall from Spain to Mr..
Summers influence.
When the House of Representatives met
Tuesday morning, Speaker Blaine sent pri- |
vate note to prominent Democrat that If |
MIR. Cox or Mr.. Eldridge desired to announce
the result of the Connecticut election he
would recognize either of them for that pur-
pose. This was an allusion to the ardor of |
those gentlemen the day after the New Hamp-
shire election, when they desired to know of |
the Speaker if it would be in order to announce
the election news.

The Rights of Man.

This mart of the American Republic is
comparatively if not entirely destitute of
females who evince a peculiar, but not
highly admired strength ofmind byinsisting
that the rights of men be accorded to them
selves. Many of the rights .entailed by sui
frage are difficult and unpleasant, and
brief recital q them ought to be sufficient
argument with a woman against every plea
in favor of suffrage. Look, ladies, at the
list of rights accorded to man, and thank
your stars that such rights are not yours. 1t
is as follows: The right to fight; TO work
at the pillow, the sledgehammer,th bellows,
the anvil; to cut down trees; to build
houses: to dig canals, construct railroads,
make steam vessels, cast cannon, create
cities, climb the top of the mast when the
seas roll and the winds blow; to fIlrl the sail
that will save the lives of. forty female pas
sengers; to chuck coal into the furnace; to
feed the fire that heats the water that
makes the steam that urges the ship that
bears the husband that loves the wife TO the
house that love built in the city that men
built; to stand in the pitiless storm at night
and guard the slumbers of the town; or, in
the front of the battle, brave the assault
that would overwhelm ballot and bonnet,
and life and liberty; or, when the fierce
flames lick the chamber, to mount through
its terrors to save a woman who has tainted
with child clinging to her bosom; and not
to get the incest parts of turkey, or
chicken, or anything else, if woman is by
and wants them.

RIVER News.

The river continues swelling slowly at
this point, with "a inches on Harpeth
Shoals. Weather cloudy, and cold, indicat-
ing snow.
FIRST STEAMBOAT ARRIvAL.-The Ella
Hughes came into port yesterday, the first
boat of the season. She had one passenger
and a small lot of iron. As to her future
movements no determination has been ar
rived at by Superintendent Dix. Capt.
Strong was in command of the Hughes and
Fayette Spillers at the wheel.
Fayette Spillers, the star gazer, and shoal
observer, reports a very decided improve
ment at Harpeth Shoals from the recent
work under Government contract.
The lower Missouri packet f. Hensley
was sold Saturday by Capt. Christ Nor
schell, of St. Louis, TO Capt. William Bas-
sett and others, of New Orleans, for Sc, 400.
The E. Hensley goes on the docks tor thor
Ough repairs, after which she will be taken
South and placed in the lower coast trade.
Capt. John B. Davis proposes to put
boat in the trade from Searcy, Arkansas,
to Memphis, and make weekly trips, if
shippers will guarantee to give him
their cotton at 81 so per bale. The Adams
line charges g per bale. At Augusta the
merchants held a meeting, offering their
cotton at $3.50, and other freight at reason-
able rates, to any boat that would agree TO
take it at that rate through the season.
The St. Paul Pioneer Of the 23d, says:
''The season of navigation for the year 1871
is practically closed. The Nellie Kent has
gone into winter quarters here. The Charlie
Cheever brought up the last Of the freight
which had accumulated at Prescott, yester-
day. 1t was the intention of Capt. Sanders
to send the Cheever through to st. Louis
but the rapid fall Of the water during the
past twenty-four hours induced him to
change his mind, and she viii winter at this
port"
The Louisville Ledger of Yesterday saws:
The river is still falling slowly here, with
five feet four inches in the canal and three
feet four inches down the Indiana pass, and
two feet four inches over the the rocks.
| The dispatch from Pittsburg yesterday
morning says the river is falling slowly,
with four feet five inches water in the chan
mel.
The st. Louis Times of Sunday says:
Fall in the river here during the last
twenty-fdur hours, eight inches. 1t was
thawing yesterday, and prospects are good
for big river, unless il should turn sud
denly cold. The thermometer last evening
stood at thirty-nine, with wind from south
east, and a perceptible sprinkle of rain.
Business was good, and receiving boats fill
ed early at advanced rates. Flour to New
Orleans ruled at sixty cents a barrel, and
pound freight thirty cents hundred. News
from above is more favorable. At Keokuk
yesterday it was thawing, and the ice is
getting rotten. Heavy snow covers the
earth from St. Louis to the extreme North
west, and few days warm weather or a
little rain would give fine boating stage Of
water.
ST. LOUIS, Nov. 2S.-The steamer Sallie,
which sunk opposite Cairo to-day, was
owned by the st. Louis, Arkansas and
White River Packet Company, and valued
at $4,000; insured for $4,000.

railroad Tuter.Marriages.

In its issue Of a recent date the New
York Handels-Zeitlulg an able and reliable
financial German journal, has this to say
about the absorption of railroad interests
South, now being made by the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad Company, to which corpora
ton it is expected the Alabama and Chatta-
nooga Railroad will soon be sold:
"The Pennsylvania Railroad company,
which has already of late absorbed great
number of small railway corporations, is
projecting TO extend more southwark in
order to purchase some of those already
finished, as well as those railways in pro
cess of completion. Their principal inten-
ton is directed towards the purchasing OF
the Alabama and Chattanooga Railroad
with its first mortgage of $4,000, and a
second mortgage of $1,000 per mile, and ii
seems that the judicial proceedings, lately
undertaken against this road, have the OBJ,
iect to effect the acquisition of said road
under favorable conditions. If this project
can be accomplished, an uninterrupted rail
way line from New York to Mobile, New
Orleans or Vicksburg, would be the result
and the route would then be open to con
tinue the line over the contemplated South
ern rOute TO California
