HIf Women Fight They Ought to Have
the Right to VOte"-HOw the Illinois
Woman Suffrage Association Divided.
From the Chicago Post. .a
Horace Greeley has been contending for some
years that women ought not to be permitted to
lay their hands upon that consecrated imple-
ment of civilization, the ballot until they have
borne arms If II. G. had on Tuesday evening
happened into room 20 by 20 in the Reynolds
block, where was assembled the executive COM
mittee of the Illinois Woman Suffrage Associa-
tion, his skeptcism on the subject of womans
capacity for fighting would have been most
effectually eXtinguished.
In that room, on that occasion, it was demon
strated to the blindest observer that woman can
fght-that she can fight like Bengal tgress-
and that the scene OF her contentious exploits,
when the occasion is woman suffrage, falls little
short of DoTe's Bedlam. If her right to vote is
TO be measured by her fighting calibre, most of
the women present at No 81 ought to be per-
mitted to cast at least thousand votes next
November.
Nearly all of the committee twenty-five
strong-Were present. They apparently came
well drilled and prepared for the contest-ive
men and twenty women; or, 70 speak more cor
rectly twenty women and five men. The cam-
paign began over the reading of the minutes,
and continued without cessation, scene of
tumult and angry recrimination till after mid
night, ending in violent rupture, and seces-
sion of an obvious majority for the formation OF
q rival society.
And such fun as 1t wasl Oushings Manual

INDUCED in Men and women stood on the floor
and contrAdicted each other in the most ap-
proved fashion. An officer was charged with
peculation. From eight to twelve o'clock from
five to ten combatants were frequently on the
floor at time, interrupting each other aud
clamoring to be heard.
1t was trying TO the chairman, and, in TRUTH
| trying to everybody; buL few seemed to enjoy
the trial, as frogs are sometimes said to laugh
during the skinning process. For hours the

| post Office heard an unusual noise, sprung his
| rattle, and called squad of neighboring police
around him. They consulted. Some thought IL
was a murder. Another wanted TO turn the
| firemen's hose on It, But at last they ventured
up the stairs and peeped timidly in. II was half
past II, and no heads broken yet. Finally mid
| night struck. Thirteen persons were standing
on the new carpet in a paCoxysm OF unquencha,
BILE rage, swinging their wearlsd arms and ana
hoarse voices. The chairman de-
clared the committee adjourned, when

LEAP FOR LIBERTY.
Daring Attempted Escape of a Thief-He
is Shot Twice Before He Surrenders.
The Albany EueniNQ ,IOnrnQL of Saturday

Daring Attempted Escape of Thief-He
is Shot Twice Before He Surrenders.
The Albany Euening Jonrnal of Saturday
says:-
About IL o'clock this morning an affair took
place in The vicinity OF the corner of Jefferson
street and Delaware turnpike, which caused a
tremendous excitement for time. The facts
are substantially as follows-Oficer Frank
Weis, of the Police Court squad, armed with
bench warrant, went to arrest Charles Keefe, a
well-known and desperate character, and an eX-
convict, on a charge OF grand larceny; The
officer proceeded to the residence of Keefe, No.
2 Delaware turnpike, but the latter seeing him
come, sprang out of a second-story in the rear
on q shed, and springing from thence to the
ground, made his way out in Jefferson street:
Weis dropped on his little game, however, aud
started for the corner of Jefferson, reaching 1t
just as the fellow emerged from yard and ran
rapidly down the street.
The officer called to him to halt, threatening
to shoot him if he did not. This had no effect
in decreasing the fugitives speed, however,
and Weis, pulling out his revolver, snapped 1t,
but from some cause 1t would not go off. The
chase was continued down Jefferson street to
Dove, through Dove, up Elm, round and down
Jefferson again In the same track, until at last
the fugitive ran into house on the Delaware
turnpike, short distance from Jefferson street.
this time, and took up position in front of th Q
house, while Weis passed round TO the yard In
the rear, intending to close in on and capture
him If possible without bloodshed.
Weis no sooner reached the yard than he
beheld his man coming out of the back door,
and called to him to halt. Keefe ran into the
house again, and Weis after him. Before the
officer could seize him, however, he made a
desperate rush, sprang out of the front door
past Van Buren, and started over towards
Madison avenue, at high rate of speed. Van
Buren called TO him to halt several times, but
he still kept on, when the officer, fearing he
would escape, fred two shots after him, both
taking effect in the heshy part of the right leg.
He continued to run for a distance of thirty or
fell. He lay so still and motionless after falling
that it was at first believed he was killed. but
he soon came to, and was taken in charge by
the officers who conveyed him to the Police
Court, when he was committed to jail.

the leader of the opposition instantly called
upon the frantic crowd TO meet in the afternoon
at her residence and organize rival State
society. And it was so. The gas was turned
OUT the voices gradually ceased; the policemen
tip-toed away confounded at the rare perform
ance. To sum up, insults had been freely ex-
changed, old hostilities had been strengthened,
and new animosities had been engendered; q
disgraceful scandal had been heaped upon the
cause which the combatants had promised to
promote, and all to decide whether the desk
should go into that corner. If we had time and
room tod day we should write upon this text q
satire upon human life.

DIR. DOLLINGER.

Address of the Professors of Munich Uni-
Versity to the Excommunicated TheOlo-
gian-Papal Infallibility Strongly De-
nOunced.
The case of DIR. Dolinger continues to attract
great interest. DIR. Dollinger receives the sup
port of the Bavarian Minister of Worship and
the greater number of the Catholic professors of
the Munich University-forty-f four out of sixty
two-have presented the following address to
him:-
In accordance with the other high schools of
Germany we protested, eight months ago,
against the resolutions which the Pope and the
majority of the SO called Ecumenical Council
attempted to force upon Catholic Christianity
on July IS, last year. Since then the work of
force inaugurated in Rome has been continued,
and at time when the German nation con-
quered on the battle-fields the first place among
the nations of the globe, the bishops of the Ger
man nation assumed the task of depressing the
consciences. In the service of unchrstian ty
ranny they have brought confusion and distress
into many honest hearts. Their object is to per-
secute the firm believers of their faith and to en-
chain us all much as il is in their power in the
irons of absolutism, which is meant to replace
the functions of reason and right, the traditions
and Holy Scriptures. Whittier will this begin
ming lead What will become of the Catholic
world and the Fatherland when it is no longer
permitted within the pale of the Church to
unite scientific culture (Betdung), sincerity of
heart, and liberty of conscience with religious
ness In these times of danger, when all eXte-
rior pillars of support are breaking, it behooves
the high schools to cling to the last and, with
Gods help, unbreakable plank of outraged
truth Upon you, above all, reverend sir, have
the eyes of the nation been directed. You have
fulfilled the general expectations by your declara-
tion of March % you have given pledge of the
sautary development; you have upheld the right
of free scientific examination and inserted a
page of the highest historical importance in the
annals of the Munich University. You had to
decide between humiiating submission, with
out regard to right and truth, as demanded of
you, and difficult but indispensable duty, and
the struggle, reverend sir. Defend yourself with
the shining shield of science, and may it be a
shield of destruction to all those who corrupt
Christianity. At this crisis of our Christian des-
TIMES we remember the question of the coura-
geous Gratry, sis God in need of your lie?'

of true hearts with us answer like you, reye-

The Beauties of Radical Rule.

The annual message of Gov. Cald-
we'll, of North Carolina, shows up the
enormous frauds that have ruined the
State. He says he can only approx
mate the public debt, but enough is
known to guess at the balance. The
Governor adds-without being able to
give the full debt-that, "to pay this
interest and support the State and
county governments, as well as to pro-
vide for the education of our children,
to say nothing of the payment of old
debts owing by counties and towns,
which in many instances is being en-
forced by the courts, will be such a
largo percentage of the income of our
people, that I am forced, reluctantly,
to conclude that they cannot bear the
necessary taxation without being de-
prived of their property, and in some
cases even of the necessaries Of life. y
suggest to Gov. Davis to procure
this message. 1t will in the next few
months apply with equal force to this
State. North Corolina is thus added
to the list of bankrupt States, and Tex.
as will follow soon. Let the Journal
give us another eulogy, upon the hon
esty and economy which has character
lied Radical rule in Texas.

A large number of extra clerks were
employed during the last days of the
Legislature, as it was pretended, to
catch up with the business. Some Of
these clerks, who had served fT only
a few days, were voted a months pay,
simply, We presume, as a compensation
for wearing the livery of the devil.
The hypocracy of the Twelfth Legis
lature is shown in the fact, that, al
though it made a pretense to cut off
the expenses of the State by reducing
the number of clerks as retrenchment
measure during the first days of the
session, still it has shown a prohigacy
of expenditure toward the latter part
of it by employing additional clerical
force to an extent by no means required.
We have it upon the best of authority
that $49 was paid to one man for en-
rolling a bill covering only thirty-fOur
pages of foolscap, or, in other words,
six days pay-rates So per day for copy
ing little over five pages of writing.
This, however, has been more than
equalled by the pay of some favorites,
who have received salaries as clerks,
when in fact they performed no duties
whatever. Such is Radicalism; such
the corruption in which we are en-
quilted. From every threshold the cry
of an outraged people rises up against
it. When will it cease?

On an appeal from district court,
the Supreme Court of Texas has
lately made a decision, in which ad.
ministrators and executors who set.
tied their trusts in Confederate money
are deeply interested. The decision
was based on the following facts:
An administrator, during the war,
obtained an order from the Probate
Court to sell the assets of his intes.
tate for cash. Under such orders he
made sales for Confederate money,
whic he paid to such creditors az
would receive it. After the war had
closed, the Probate Court permitted
him to resign his trust and settle his
account on Confederate money re,
turns and vouchers.
The Supreme Court decided that
the Probate Courts orders and iudg.
ment were not only erroneous, but
null and void, and that the admins.
traitor would be held liable in legal
tender for the value of the property
sold, and that the creditors could re-
vive their claims, so paid in Confede|
rate money, against the estate

Advertising AphOrisn,s.

Judicious advertising always pays.
If you have good thing, adver-
tise it. If you havn't, don't.
If you don't mean to mind your
own business, it will not pay to ad-
vertise.
Never run down your opponent s
goods in public, Let him do his own
advertising.
It's as true of advertising as Of
anything else in this world-if it is
worth doing at all, it is worth doing
we'll.
We don't recommend advertising
as the best way to get a wife; but We
know that it is the best way to get a
good trade.
You can't eat enough in one week
to last whole year, and you can't
advertise on that plan either.
A large advertisement once, and
then discontinued, creates the i'm
preston that the man has fzzled.
A constant dropping will wear a
rock Keep dropping your adver-
tisements on the public and they
will soon melt under it like rock
salt.
Large type isn't necessary in ad-
vertising; blind folks don't read
newspapers.
If you can arouse curiosity by an
advertisement, it is a great point
gained. The fair sex don't hold all
the curiosity in the world.
People who advertise only once in
three months, forget that most folks
can'tremember anything longer than
about seven days. American News

Governor stOckdaIe,s Remarks.


We call the attention of our readers
to the synopsis, in this number, of Gov
ernor Stockdale's remarks on the prop
osition of the Gulf, Western Texas and
Pacific Railway Company. The spe'
cial registration necessary to taking
the sense of the county, on this propo-
sition, commences on the 10th instant
and ends in ten days thereafter. 1t is
therefore important that our people
should carefully consider the views
presented by Gov. Stockdale. While
we are not prepared to endorse with.
out qualification what he advances,
there can be no doubt in the main OF
the soundness of his propositions. Our
shortest way to deep water lies over
this road, and without railroad compe-
tition we must find ourselves at the
mercy of monopolies.
Again, this road would prlhg US ID

We call attention to the remarks o.
of Gov. Stnckdale, hoping that every
one concerned may consider the matter
we'll, and, being fully apprised, find
themselves prepared to pass theil
judgement upon the propositions.

Speaking of the opium sale in that
city, the New Haven Palladium SAYS:
''Some of it, it is true, is used for
medicine, but far the larger amount
is used to satisfy the cravings of the
opium eater. There would be a
somewhat startling list of names
could there be published the names
of those who are in the habit of using
opium. Some time since one of the
first temperance lecturers in the
United States delivered a lecture
here, and had but an hour before
sent his laudanum bottle to be filed
at the druggists. Here is a subject
for reformers to consider.

APoIitIenI sInnder.

'sThe condition of the Southern States
unhappily is not such as all true, patri>
otic citizens would like to see. Social
ostracism for opinions sake, personal
violence or threats toward persons
entertaining political views opposed
to those entertained by the majority of
the old citizens, prevents emigration
and the flow of capital into the
States lately in rebellion p President
Grants Message.
Every one who has any observation
knows that the position taken in the
above excerpt is utterly false. In
South Carolina, where the controlling
influence is ignorance aud RadicaIism,
such has been the case, but in all the
Democratic States there has been a
gradually increasing prosperity since
the war. Into Texas both a foreign
and native emigration has been con.
stantly flowing, and those who come
among us to make legitimate liveli.
hood know that there is everything
else but ostracism. Such q charge is
a base injustice to Texans, people
who have ever worked to secure and
maintain immigration. Such is the
expression of a partisan and sectional
President, conniVing at the injury of
the Southern States. The liberality of
our people to those seeking homes
among us is proverbial. We desire
them-people from all States and
nations to settle among us. Let them
come on; our lands are broad, soil rich
and teeming with wealth, and there is
room aud welcome ior strangers from
everywhere. We inquire not into their
political views before we offer them the
hand of fellowship. All we desire to
know is that they are honest, and not
political emisaries sent among Us to
assist in the present wholesale rob-
berries which are being perpetrated.
