RIGHT TO THE BALLOT.

WONAE,s RIGHT TO THE BALLOT.
Ben. Butler has rushed to the re-
lief Of the woman-sufrasists, by IN
Producing a bill in Congress declar-
inr ONE entitled to the ballot
under the Fourteenth Amendments
This theory is in accordance with the
ideas of the WoodhuIl-Clafin wing
of the party. They insist that they
are now entitled 10 vote by the same
claim which authorized the negro to
20 t, the polls. Another wing. Of
the Lucy Stone order, doubt this
tlearv. and desire an amendment
expressly comforting the privilege,
These latter claim that the endeavor
10 get to the ballot through that
amendment is really an evasion ana
ToIra unworthy Of the great cause.

express enactment. which viii not

lar-tood that this anti-WooIhull

branch Of the society, and deadly
a1raeonistic to the WooiAuII, free
love o~rganization. Hence, perhaps,
their distaste 1Jr African scents, and
association.
The question oftherighto Of women
TO the ballot was lately decided al
Washington by Judge Fisher, lie
held that the Fourteenth Amend
nent conferred citizenship upon
women. but that the Constitutional
provision was imperative until sec
o2ded by a Legislative enactment
authorizing women oftLe District to
vote. Under this theory an amend
ment of the Congressional OrganI2
Act only was required to remove all
doubt on the subject. Butler how
ever. has taken the bUllby the horns,
and by his bill attempts to declare
the real intent OF the doubtful Con
st.tutionaI amendment. Il he sue
ceeds in getting his declaratory act

troversv. If not. the question re-
mains where it Is nOw-tO be Settled

A Novel and Cheap Motive Power.

II - now proposed 70 hEIug compressed air
into common Use a. motive power. u can be
fed to aid used instead of steam TO drive steam
engines OF the ordinary constru ction, and it,
value las been tested in working the drilling
nlachincs'in the Mont Gents and Hoosac tun-
nels. New Yorker believes himself able to
use chesply The power OF falling water to con-
dense air, which Is then to be drawn OF into
reservoirs. whence 1t is proposed to supply it.
through large air tight pipes. to machine shops
and other places requiring motive power at a
cistaT &c from the reservoirs. II this plan sue
ceecs at Rochester, where he first proposes to
try It, 1t is said that an attempt Will be made to
utilize the immense force Of Niagara Falls to
compress air which is to be conducted to Buffa-
10. twenty miles distant, and there turnad to &C
count as a motor. Some calculations, which
have been made, induce the persons engaged in
this novel enterprise to believe that the equiva-
lent OF a horse power which costs, when
steam IL used, about $50 per annum, can be
furnished by them at the reservoir OF com
pressed All for about sl2. When it il conducted
to distance the cost of maintaining conduct
ing pipes would be an added element of cost;
but this could not be very great. OF course, no
fires will be used with this motive power, and
the danger of destructive explosions will be at
ar end.

The Tax on Travel Between New York
and WaShfmStOm.

Immediately after the decision of the court
in Baltimore adverse to the exaction by the
State of Maryland OF One-ifth OF the passenger
fare on the Washington Branch OF the Balti-
more and Ohio railroad, that company reduced
the fare between Baltimore and Washington
thirty cents 10 each passenger, making il 81 20
instead of 81 50, as stated in The STAR at the
time; and an arrangement was made a fe1 DAYS
since with the Philadelphia, Wilmington and
Baltimore road, by which the Philadelphia
passengers will get the benefit OF the reduction.
Prom a disagreement, however, between the
Y. s O. and the roads North Of Baltimore en-
braced in the through line to New York as
to the prOporfioDate rate Of reduction which
should be made by each, through passengers
between New York and this city still have 70 paw
tax. The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad COMPANY
alleged that the other companies composing the
line between New York and Washington have
offered the Baltimore and Ohio Company 70 de-
Duct twenty cents from their aggregate local
rates, and to allow the Baltimore and Ohio Rail-
road Company full local rates if the latter will
cease TO collect the thirty cents tax from the
New York passengers This deduction wouId
leave the New York and Washington ticket
SIS instead Of a., a at present This offer.
We understand, Is refused by the Baltimore ana
ohio Railroad Company up to date they claim
ing. il i stated IN their defence, such general
reduction a. will make the through rate
$50. which they represent was the amouut con
teiuplated some time ago.

Ex-Sscretary Cox ON the Neutrality

Interior says:

President was OF opinion that the Shipment OF

luuonisis have as full power to buy and to ship

The Board OF Health seem 70 be in earnest in
their determination to abate the hog and COW
nuisance 1t appears, however, that some Of
the owners OF these animals, encouraged by the
singular leniency which has permitted them for
years to make the city hog wallow for their
benefit, are threatening to resist the enforce
ment Of the rule on the ground that the Board
OF Health have not the requisite powers. We
trust trey will end that the board have not only
the power to abate the nuisance, but also to
make them suffer smartly for their impudence
IN attempting to maintain it in the face of Law
and public opinion. The law prescribing the
duties Of the Board of Health sets forth that
1.-The board shall have full power. by resolution,
or otherwise, to determine what il may regard
nuisAnces or sources of disease within the
city Of Washington, and to direct the removal or
abatement thereof on notice to the parties Great
ing the same; or summarily and Immediately,
without notice, whenever they shall deem 1t
necessary for the Of life or security
OF health" Section OF the act also requires the
Police department to aid in carrying out the
orders of the board. We rather think the pig.
owners Will nnd that the law quoted above
meets their case.
