WOMEN AS VOTERS.

1t is even possible that the time IS no
far distant when women can exercise the
right to vote in a large number of the
States Of this Union. One thing is very
certain that the day is rapidly arriving
when many of the legal disabilities with
reference to property, under which mar
ried women rest, will be removed In
England an experiment has been under
taken to see how women will act when
vested with a certain legal authority 70
control education. Already this has had
its effect in this country, and a bill has
been introduced in the Senate OF Penn
sylyania, which, if passed, will render
tax-p.ying women of proper age eligible
to the Office Of Director of the public
schools of the State. The New York
Herald advances the idea that it possibly
may work well in cities that time only
can show how the innovation will work
on either side of the Atlantic, but there
seems no good reason to believe that ats
results will be such as to render return
to the ancient usage desirable. 1t is
possible that it may work we'll in cities,
where educated women with abundant
leisure are not hard to find; and GER
family the superintendent life and idle
energies of such women may as well be
utilized for the good of community as
allowed to decay for want of suitable
ways in which to expend themselves,

agent, struck him severe blow over the

freeing himself and retreated into the

The crowd fred several shots as the train
moved of, and threatened that il he

The Cincinnati Enquirer is not far
wrong, if wrong at ALL when it says that
if the troubles which have been caused
at the West Point Military Academy, by
the introduction of the negro cadetthere,
shall result in the destruction and aban-
donment of the school by the Govern
ment, it will be q very lucky cireum-
stance that the negro was appointed.
The Academy is nothing but the cultiya-
tor of military aristocracy that is
wholly opposed to the spirit of our insti-
tutions. The road to rank in the army
should be free and open to competition,
on the score of merit, as it is in civil
life. Our best officers have never been
to West Point.

FALsEHooDs, foul and fostering, have

cspt the indisposition Of the Southern
people to obey the laws of the nation;
and that they resist the collection Of

because they expect to profit pecuniarily

The principles of the Radical party
find apt illustration in a recent remark
of Indiana's Morton in the Senate the

minded the Senate that the resolutions
were passed by Democratic majority.
He seemed to consider that fact an
ample reason why he should disobey the
instructions of the people If the ma
jority were Democrats, the Representa-
