MRs. ELIzABETH CADY STANTON
ON President GRANr.-This lady is
not a friend of the President, if we may
Judge from the tenor of her remarks
before the National Woman Suffr &c
Association which met 10 New York
last week. When introduced to the
Association she was accorded very
warm and aatterins reception, aud pro-
ceeded to say
! want to make all the women to-day
understand the reforms we need in the
Church. the State and the family. The
world is done with royalty and aristocracy.
What we now need is the scientific educa.
ton ofthe people. Now the ballot is the
great power which regulates all our political
and religious affairs. Now that we are so
near gaining the ballot, am more con.
cerned about the use we will make of it
than how to get it, and that we do not use
1t better than some men. The ballot with.
out knowledge is like faith without works.
Cancuses are one Of its greatest evils. By
its means John Doe, in midnight debauch,
with half a dozen others, is able to foist
John Roe, without brains or capacity, upon
the Legislature. Mrs. Stanton continued !:
And now we have Grant, who, like Haman
Of old, is tearing his party to pieces--and
who, in 1872, will leave the White House,
rich and infamous, Applause and Kisses.
Mrs. Stanton--Of course the misses come
from the Democrats the Republicans be.

newed hissing) Knight mention Charles
Sumner as candidate for the Presidency,

port him. The question with him, how.
ever, has always been, what is rightY

The French Civil War.

There is no change in the military
situation ut Paris, except that the YER
sailles army is drawing nearer 10 'he
walls, and reiniorcements are being Sent
forward to strengthen the attacking
columns. On Friday the COMMUNISTS
attempted sortie in the direction oil
the Bots de Boulogne, but were driven
back with heavy loss. The batteries
continue an energetic bombardment,
aud have reduced the defence OF Fort
Vanvres so that it was evacuated on
Saturday by the insurgents and oceu'
pied by the loyalists. The garrison
escaped, but everything else 10 the fort
was captured. Mcmahon has issued a
spirited address to his troops, which, 1t
is believed, precedes the hnal attack
Within Paris the Commune are chang

banks, imprisoning priests and other

Monday the Loyalsts were SO close

The Next Governor.

No part has been taken BY this jour
nal in the attempt which has been made
through the press to forestall public
opinion in reference to the choice Of a
candidate for Governor, to be supported
BY the Democratic party at the ensuing
fall election. Letters have been sent
hither for publication urging the claims
OF certain gentlemen for that high posi-
tion, but We have refused to publish
them, because we would not favor the
aspirations ef any particular candidate,
believing that the representatives ofthe
party, when they shall assemble 10 State
Convention, will be competent to make
such choice from among the disiin
guished gentlemen mentioned 10 this
connection, as will be acceptable to the
whole party, without the interference
OF the superserviceable friends of the
severalaspirants. The gentlemen named
arc all known to the public. Their
moral worth. intellectual capacity, social
andpolitical position, fitness or uafitness,
are well understood. No adyentitious
aid is required to give the party iul.

DEATH OF AN ASTRONOMER. john
Frederick William Herschel, (only sou
Of the astronomer Sir Frederick William
Herschel,) whose unexpected death was
announced by cable on Saturday, was
born ut Slough, near Windsor, on March
Z, 1892. In 1850 he published his
" Outlines of Astronomy" a manual,
the value of which, in popular sense,
can hardly be overestimated. No men.
tion of his falling health has been made
oil late in the English journals. 1t is
probable that his iDcessant labors in
science, which in recent years have been
as severe as those of his yoath, have
weighed him down, and as he had passed
three score and ten, the strain upon the
vital energies proved all at once too
great.

Snow IN MAY.-Mr. William Krise
who resides between the Rocky Ridge
and Monocacy, and whose recollection
OF old events is unusually good, inform.
ed us the other day, while on visit to
this place, that on the 22d OF May,
lS00-just seventy-one years ago, his
father, Mr.. Abraham Krise, who then
removed from the Monocacy section TO
the Carroll tract above Emmitisburg,
found in going there, while the rye
fields were in blossom and two or three
feet high, there fell heavy snow on
that day, 22d of May, from Is to %
inches deep. His father often spoke
to him Of the circumstances, aud it
made solid impression on his memo

The Derlscras.s State Convention.

The Rockville Sentinel publishes
some judicious reflections upon this
subject, which we heartily endorse:
The 18th Of July having been fixed
for the assembling of our State Conyen.
ton, County Conventions should be
called AZ us early day as practicable.
to appoint delegates to said Convention.
Each county should select its best aud
most discreet men as delegates-such
as will be duly impressed with sense
of the great responsibility which will
rest upon them. The action Of this
State Convention may decide the polit.
ical complexion of Maryland for years
TO come. The candidates for Governor
and other State officers, must be men
far above suspicion. They must come
fully up to the old Washipgtonian stan
