FEMALE SUFFRAGE.-After earnest agi-
tation by the friends of female suffrage
and being scoffed and laughed at by 9TH
ers, it finally begins to take a formidable
shape. 1t can no longer be treated flip
PANTY, for the question of the legality of
woman suffrage is to be treated by the
courts of at least five States, and will find
its way to the Supreme Court Of the
United States. IntMissouri, Mrs. Vir-
ginia Minor, of St. Louis, brings suit
against the officers of registration for not
receiving her vote when presented, and
lays her damages at $4,000. Mrs.
Sarah NJ. Huntington, in Connecticut,
appeals to the Supreme Court of that
State for redress for similar treatment.
Mrs. Mannette B. Gardener, in Michi-
gan, represents injured woman in like
way in her State. In Oregon, Mrs. A. j..
Dunniway and three others have the
same grievance. In New York the tables
are turned, and the State indicts Susan
B. Anthony and Others for voting lille
gally. These women all claim the right
to suffrage under the Fourteenth and
Fifteenth Amendments. Where there is
so much smoke there ought to be some
fire, and it is more than likely that a
question of great Importance is to be
brought to a direct issue. The question
is strictly one of constitutional law. If
it is finally decided that under existing
laws there is no suffrage for women, then
the whole force of the universal suffrag-
lists will be brought to bear directly in
favor of creating laws that will insure
what they claim to be their right. If the
courts decide that woman suffrage is
already fixed fact, the American people
have been robbed unawares Of an issue
on which quite number of political
campaigns might be fought Issues are
not so numerous that we can afford to
lose many in such way.

GAMBLING.

The Reese River Reveille learns that
an effort will be made to repeal the
Gambling Act at the coming session of
the Legislature. We were opposed to
the bill at the time of its passage, as vice
and crime are not legitimate subjects of
license and taxation; but the law is in
force now, yielding revenue to the
State of 49, 900 annually, and we are in
favor of its standing until the people are
tired of it.-[ Enterprise.
AS an abstract proposition the licens-
ing of gambling is wrong, but as the
matter was not agitated during the can
vass for members of the Legislature, we
do not believe our Solons have the
means of judging whether the people
really desire the continuance of the
present law in force. For that reason
we believe it improper to urge the re-
peal of the law. Furthermore. we have
very little idea that the repeal could be
procured, and the agitation of the ques-
ton could not fail to produce demorali-
zatlon by increasing the power and
force of the lobby, and throwing into
circulation, as direct or indirect brides,
an immense sum of money to tempt the
cupidity of any unworthy member Of the
Legislature. While we would not urge
repeal of the statute, something in ad-
dition to that now in force ought to be
enacted. The checks issued by the
banking game ought to have some stand
ing in law beyond the intrinsic valu. of
the ivory OF which they are made, since
they are always redeemed in coin when
presented, and the pilfering of these to
the amount OF $50 should subject the
offender to indictment and punishment
for grand larceny, and for any amount
less than $50 petit larceny. We never
believe in doing things by halves; and
as long as the people of the State are
content to allow the revenue derived
from gambling to offset its evils, we in
sist that if gambling is to be licensed
and recognized by the State as a legiti-
mate business, it should be protected
from the depredations of the "check
guerrillas, who invest nothing in any
game, and exc out miserable existence
by the most contemplate means. 1t
would be well also to make the borrower
of checks liable to the same extent as
though he had borrowed the amount OF
money at which the checks were rated.
The Supreme Court of this State Dust.
ice CARRIER dissenting) in case carried
up from the District Court of this county
decided that the license granted by the
State only protected the gambler from
the penalties of the common law. We
will not question the wisdom of the
Supreme Court, although we do believe
the law ought to be made to protec
those whom it licenses to carry on VIVA
the law makes legitimate business
whatever may be thought of the practic,
of gambling when viewed simply from 1
moral standpoint.

occasion. During the progress of the piece
a large detachment of the First Regi-

so disposed as to present the most
brilliant and effective military scene

Not n Deiauiter-Collector milford, of Nir-
ginia, wrongly Accused of a Deficit OF
Riclmond, Td., February 2.-Some
time about the middle of December last
there was published in the Herald from
your Washington correspondent list of
defaulting internal revenue officers. This
statement was full, and embrac d not only
actual defaulters, but many ex-reycnue
officers whose accounts with the Depart-
ment had not been settled up. 1t was
called for by resolution of Congress,
which was intended to find out all the
revenue officers connected with ''rings,"
and who were real defaulters I; but it sue
ceeded in accomplishing great deal more
than it designed for in the published state
ment the names of a large number who
were not defaulters appeared. Among
these | find the name of General John K.
Mulford, formerly United States Commits
sioner of Exchange, and late collector Of
internal revenue for the third district of
Virginia, against whose name the sum of
SD 300 is set forth as the amount for which
he is defaulter, and the official statement
published in the HaaM and extensively
copied in other papers does him an injustice,
as the following letter from the Commits
sloner of Revenue at Washington will
show:
''TREAsURY DEPARTMENT., !

"Sr, in regard to the statement made
to Congress by the Department, showing a
balance against you as late collector of in
ternal revenue for the third collection dis
trict of Virginia, would say that your ac-
count on the books of this office was ever
in a satisfactory condition that never at
any time was there cash balance against
you; that the balance shown by the state
ment furnished to Congress by the Depart
ment was the amount of the taxes out
standing in lists assigned to you for collec-
ton at the time you retired from office;
that since the statement was furnished to
Congress said taxes have been passed to
your credit, and your account balanced in
the books of this Department. | regret
exceedingly the publication, as in many
instances, as in yours, it was taken ad-
vantage of by persons malicoualy disposed
to SANDER honorable men. The statement
ought never to be published without pub
fishing at the same time the explanation in
regard to it that the Secretary made in
transmitting it to Congress.
