FoR THE LADIEs,-lnstoad of cult.
vating strong minded notions and con.
tending for a right TO divide their
time between the ballot box and the
cradle, women will find it an advant-
age to school their nervous system
and assure themselves against panics
even upon great occasions. The latest
blow at womans rights comes from
the Insurance companies, who have
concluded not to insure females against
accidents on railroads and steamboats,,
Tho excuse Of the companies is, that
when an alarm of fire IS raised on a
railroad or steamboat, the ladies are
usually thrown into such state OF
terror that accidents are almost sure
to follow; and that the losses in the
past, under this head, has been very
much grcater than the gains. Risks
against killing outright they still ac.
cept, while declining to insure against
partial injury, the seemingly arbitrary
action of the companies is regarded
with considerable disiavor by hus.
bands who have heretofore taken out
policies for their wives, so that, in the
event OF injury they might bo enabled
to pay nurses and doctors fees, with.
out having to draw on their bankers.

Mr.. Tweed has kept himself in hiding long
enough to find new bail, and having no need
of further concealment, appears once more in
the streets. For days he has been skulking in
holes and corners like an escaped galley slave.
He has not dared to enter his own house, to
eat with his own family, to sleep in his own
hotel, to be caught at his own office. His
chosen friends have been his pursuers. Ter
ence Farley. whom he picked out of the streets
and made rich man, has set the constables
at his heels. Jay Gould, for whom he COM
PEELED the Legislature to pass the Classiica-
tion Bill, and Gov. Hoffman with bushes
and apologies to sign it, has surrendered
him into the hands of tho law. Hugh
Hastings even has refused any longer to be
his surety. Douglas Taylor, whom he made
Commissioner of Jurors, with salary more
than twice as great as that Of the Chief-Jus-
tice of the United States, has proposed to turn
him out Of the Tammany Committee. His
boon companion, Sheriff Brennan, has Li.ed
detectives to dog his footsteps. Vulgar thief
and rogue as he is, there is something almost
pathetic in his misery. We can hardly refrain
from a thought of commiseration for the
wretched old rascal who, when the Nemesis of
many sinful years overtakes him, finds every
door shut in his face, and every associate
turned against him.
Mr.. Tweed has nothing to do now but to
stand at bay Men wonder why he does not
escape; but he is too closely watched. He
might have fed two months ago, but then his
fortunes did not seem so desperate. lie had
millions worth of property which he could
not bear to sacrifice, and why should
Tammany rhieftan, worth millions, fear
justice in the City Of New-Yorkf lie was
arrested in October on the Tlden complaint
Ever since then so much money has been
stilcd upon his appearance that he must
have found it impossible to leave the city, if |
H. bas actually tried. Officers have watched |
him day and night. During his recent conceal. |
men' ,'though the Sheriff and the sureties were |
doubtless ignorant of the place of his hiding,
they knew that he was close at hand, and |
that he could not get away. He lurked in |
Stables and other obscure places, because ne |

Mr.. A. N. Bliss and his friends succeeded, on
Thursday night, at the Brooklyn primaries, In
securing q position which throws upon them
the responsibility of giving shape to the or
ganization of the Kings County Republican
General Committee for next year. 1t may
possibly bo better for the party interest gen.
orally that this was the result, and not
sweeping victory; for, while it devolves an
important trust on certain few Of the newly
elected delegates, it holds in reserve for all
nobody having been totally vanQuished) an
opportunity to close up the ranks and present
a harmonious and decided front in the coming
campaign. The one danger Of confding too
much to Government officials ought to be
aYerted.

THE LESSON OF THIS WINTER.

For the last ten years, we have endured the
taunts and filings Of our friends on the Plains
and further West, because we clrug to pre-
judce born Of our New England training in
favor of shelter and hay for cattle in Winter
We did not doubt their assurances that they
had known largo herds to roam all Winter
unsheltered and unfed, yet come out alive and
hearty in the Spring. We only insisted that
the buffaloes generally come through a hard
Winter very lean and poor when they come
through at all, and We could not realize that
the progeny of stock that had been fed and
sheltered for centuries could endure more cold
and hunger than these rugged children of the
Plains. All was Of no use. What could we
know about cattle on the Plains compared
With the knowledge Of those who had lived
there for yearsf
Last Winter. cattle were frozen dead even
in Kansas but there waS not much snow fur
ther West. and most Of the herds went through
alive. This Winter is more prrsisicnty cold,
with snow after s"Ow covering and incrustng

II is fortunate that the first important con-
yictiou under the Ku-Klux law should have
been man Of local prominence and
general good character. Samuel Brown OF
York Co., South Carolina, is large
land-holdcr, formerly magistrate, and Old
enough to be free from tho temptations OF
mere wantonness and sociabiity. Yet it is
clearly proved that he belonged to band
which had committed at least one murder and
many outragcs. His punishment will show
his poorer and moro ignorant neighbors that
even lawlessness which Is popular is a crime.
New-York tribune., 1871-12-30

There are two views in which the suit just
begun against Fisk, jr., and Jay Gould, of
which we give an exclusive report this morn
ing, is highly important. In the first place. it
is the initial one of a series of similar suits
against these worthless which will go far to-
ward breaking up the infamous and corrupt
Ring of which, now that Tweed has resigned
his Directorship. they are the guilty heads.
In the second place, it will help expose the
loose practices in our Courts under which men
have been arrested under criminal charges
without proper investigation of the circum-
stances under which the action against them
is taken 1t will go far, we hope, to making
the Star Chamber practices of our Justices
from Supreme Judge Cardozo down to Police
Judge Dowling-odious, and eventually compel
their abolition. or the retirement of all who
hermit them.
