Woman Suffrage.

Mr.. Bingham submitted a report to tht
House Judiciary Committee on the memo
rial of Victoria Woodruff and other
women claiming the right to vote undo,
the l4th and 18th amendments. This re
port maintains that the claim in the mem
orial is not a subject for the action of Con
gress, but for the legislation of state gov
ernments.

The Old Soldiers.

Concerning the law gra nting pen.
sions to soldiers of the war Of l8l2,
the Lynchburg News copies (editori-
ally) an article which fret appeared
in q western paper, and which CON-
tains the following paragraph
"It may be generally understood
that all enlisted or drafted mon who
served for sixty days or upwards are
entitled to SO per month but If it
is, then that general understanding is
a general mistake. At least nine.
tenthu of tho soldiers of the war of
1912 who live south of The Potomac
nro denied the benefit of the act.
Every soldier is required to talseean
ilon-clad oath before he can obtain
tho pension. He is required .e,
swear not only that ho gave NO aid
and comfort, to the 'rebellion,' but
that he had no sympathy for its cause"
Wo do not so understand tho law. Il
excludes only those who aided and
abetted the rebellion and that aiding
and abotting must have been of
practical nature.

shall not be wanting in any feasible

But to be perfectly candid with

viction, that while / do not apprehend

scrve the peace Of society, until some

dium of any such communications Us

Greeley as q Liar.

A correspondent, who does not
read the Tribune, is astonishcd that
we should accuse Mr. Greeley of false
hood, and asks for specimen. For
the satisfaction of our correspondent
we select the following at rsndom
from Tuesaay's Tribune, conscious
that it is doing injus ice to Mr.. Gree.
ley's peculiar talent. Tuesday is
not his regular day for lying, and he
was probably careless in elabora.
ting:
"There have been nc. less than
FIVE thousand negroes killed, because
of their color and their politics, in
the rebel States since Con. Grants
election"
We trust our correspondent is
satisfied. The specimen lie we have
given, while not in Mr.. Greeley's best
voin, is infamous, and heartlesp, and
malicious enoughto have emanated
red.hot from the father Of lies him
self. Greeley knew when he penned
it that it was o wanton, o malicious, o
fragrant lie, and yet no doubt he roll.
ed it as sweet morsel under his ton.
que. 1t is a marvel that any set OF
men who profess to be governed by
any moral or religious restraints
should allow themselves to bo led by
this hoary-headed old villain.-
