SOME Northern women presented d
memorial to Congress two or three months
ago claiming the right to vote und er the
fourteenth amendment, but asking legisla-
ton to enforce their assumed right, The
judiciary committee reported through
Mr.. Bingham, of Ohio, that if the four
teenth amendment guaranteed them the
right of suffrage, the courts were the
proper tribunals to appeal to for redress.
1t appears the question is to be thus
tested. At the election for Governor and
members of Congress, in South Csrolina,
on the 18th of October last, the managers
of election at Ladies' Island allowed five
negro women to vote The managers
we're all black. Rev. Kit Green and
Stephen Sheppard, ManagersOf Election,
were arrested and indicted under the en-
forcement act of Congress, charged with
neglect of duty and violation of law in al
lowing females to vote. At the February
term of the United States Court of South
Carolina, the cases came up before Judge
Bryan. The jury found the managers
guilty, and they were sentenced TO six
months in Jail and 70 pay fine of 5000.
The counsel for the managers, in due
time, presented his bill of exceptions, and
aud carried the case 10 the Circuit Court
Of the United States, to be held q,
Charleston this month, the ground of sp.
pal being that the Constitution and the
laws authorized females to vote,

"a mIsBRABLE DEsPoTIs a.

Apropos ofthe pending Ku-Klux bill, we
wonder IL bluff old Ben Wade would now
recognize these words of his, delivered
in the United States Senate on the 23d of
February, 1855: l
''Wby, sir, to yield that point is to yield
up all the rights Of the States to protect
their own citizens, and to consolidate this
government into q m SCRABBLE despotism. l
tell you, sir, Whatever you may think Of
il, If this bill pass, collisions will arise be-
tween the Federal and State jurisdictions
conflicts in which the States will never
yield; for the more you undertake to load
them with acts like this, the greater will
be their resistance"
These words were spoken Of bill that
was innocence itself, compared with the
pending Ku-Klux measure. The likelihood
Of Stste resistance has since passed away;
but the possibility of miserable despot-
ism" remains. Mr.. Wade has retired; but
r Ku-Klux Legislation has entered, and des-
potism s'ares Us in the face.

A LEAF FROM ROMAN HISTORY.

The policy of the sectional party
North, toward the conquered people OF
South, reminds us of on incident in old
Roman history. Every school-boy is ia
miliar with the Caudine Forks, couple OF
def1les in which Pontius Thelesinus, King
of the Ssmnites, entrapped the Roman
army. Mr.. Bell spoke of it frequently.
History records that Pontius asked his
aged father what he had best do with
his csptives. The old man replied,
Either massacre them all, and so
destroy the Roman power, or set them at
liberty and make them your friends.
Pontius, wiser in his own cOneeit than
his father, did not do either, but forced
on the Romans the CALLING humiliation of
a march sub jugasna, (from which Incl
dent. by the way, comes our English
wo,d ''gubjugate'D. Faithful history
proceeds to relate the utter destruction of
the Ssmnites by the Romans only forty
NIL eyears after. From this example we
VOL ID have you draw a lesson of the
past. We of the present would not, il
we could teach it.

The ST. Louis Republican, of Monday re
ports the death of well known steamboat
man:
At | P. M. yesterday, died in this city,
Captain John B. Weaver In the fifty seventh
year of his age. Captain Weaver came to
this city when quite a young man, and has
been ever since connected with our steam.
boat interests. We are not familiar with
the,events connected with Captain Weaver's
earlier career as q steamboatman, but have
been informed that, like many others who
have contributed to the growth and pros
perity of the city, while building their own
fortunes, that Captain Weaver had to strug-
gle hard against the currents OF an adverse
fate, and that he was truly the architect of
his own fortune. As clerk and commander,
the Missouri river for period of more than
twenty-five years. During the year lS69-70
he was president of the St. Louis and
Omaha Packet Company, the duties of which
Office he faithfully discharged. In connec-
ton with Captain Davidson and others, he
became one of the owners of the steamsg
John Kyle. In the autumn of 1870 he be-
came commander Of the Kyle, which posi-
ton he held for some months, and then re-
signed and devoted himself to closing up
his private business and the affairs OF the
companies with which he had been officially
connected. During the summer his health
has not been very good. Captain Weaver
had large circle OF very warm friends, and
the news of his death will be received with
regret by many who long years ago knew
and respected him.
