IVAN" the Washington correspondents OF the
Springfield Republican, says: ITO tell the truth
douhtifthe House would have given its hall to
Mrs. Woodruff, ii no rule had stood in the way.
She does not stand very we'll IN this community.
Publishing weekly paper which runs her own
name up the mast head for the Presidency;
which 30 denounces certain measures before
congress that many people accuse il OF being in
the blackmsil business; advocating from time
40 time in her paper the overthrow OF marriage;
overthrow of the Bible, it il not singular that
Mrs. Victoria WOodmil should not be popular
in or ont of Congress" OF Mrs. Isabella Beech
e. Hooker he saws: every body admires her
and her course. She never Oyersteps the line
Of strict rroprety; whether on tue platform or
of 1t she lie modest and sensible, and she has
done more to commend the new doctrines OF the
female sutfragiStS than dozen of her associates
The only wonder Il how she can associate with
the Woodhulls and UiafiinS. 1 met her the
other day in the Speakers room, AMI was
struck by her look OF anxiety and care. One
eould see that ia her heart she is hungry tor
that beautiful home of hers in Hartford, and
that this lie she is leading here il a terrible
sacrifice to her.
