Il Rev. PARDEE BUTLER, of Atehison County,
has gone off with the Liberals. He is evidently
tired of the men who rendered it possible for him
to live in Kansas, and sighs for the political COM
panionship of those who sent him down the river
on raft.

~ Scientific men are remarking upon the ex-
traordinary superabuntlance of electricity in the
atmosphere, this season. But the supply is regu-
lated by the demand. The immense number of
persons who expected to be struck by lightning
at Cincinnati, were sufficient to consume all the
electricity that the atmosphere could contain.

WILLIAM AND MARY AGAIN.

We publish to-day communication
from Mr.. John S. Wise, brother of Prof.
Wise, of William and Mary College, in re-
ply to our comments of Saturday, and the
information on which they were based.
If the facts be as stated by Prof. Wise's
brother, another phase entirely is put upon
the matter, and no one will be more graft
fed at the result of square investigation
into them than ourself. But we differ entire
ly with Mr.. Wise in what he regards the
province of newspaper journalism, that an
editor is, Micawber-like, to wait and see
what may "turn up" when charge of this
grave nature is preferred against the man
agemcnt of public institution in the State.
This might do for dead and lifeless news
papers, but not for the stirring active
journalism demanded for the times. 1t is
what newspapers are made for-to g,ue the
ne,cs and the editorial columns should not
be one whit behind the news columns in the
running comments to be made upon what
is transpiring in the busy world around us.
The fact is, such charges as we named
have been preferred against Prof. Wise and
the students of William and Mary, and had
we not given instant publicity to them, Mr..
John S. Wise, with all his commendable
gallantry shown Incidence of his brother,
would not have been one whit the ,oissr
about them than the old "man in the
moon" or the still older one in the Fran.
coma mountains. Ithas given him just the
opportunity he wanted, to leap CALAMITY in
to harness in defence of what he believes
to be truth and justice. Nothing is ever
gained by hushing up truth or falsehood.
Truth will always run its own race without
asking any odds in the start; but the sooner
lie is run down, after it gets the start, the
better. This, Mr.. Wise himself must see,
and, seeing, thank us for so promptly
bringing the subject to his and the public's
attention.

OPINIONS OF THE PRESS.


THE WoAAN's JouRsAb.--The friends of woman
suffrage who wish to keep the issue clear from
entangling alliances with other reforms and the
endless host of individual whims and yagaries-
who would pursue it with the same singleness OF
aim that marks the movement in England, and
the temperance and other special reforms in this
country, have established weekly paper, the
Homan's Journal, published in Boston and Chi
cago, and edited by Mrs. Livermore, Mrs Lucy
Stone, Mrs. Julia Ward Howe, Mr.. Vim. Lloyd
Garrison, and Mr.. t. w. Higginson, assisted by
accomplished friends of the cause. The No
ndn's Journal is a fair and attractive paper in
appearance, while the variety and spirit of its
articles, and the dignity, selfrespect, good
humor, and earnestness of its tone, will show
how profoundly mistaken are those who suppose
that folly and extravaganza are necessarily char
acteristic of the discussion of the question. The
Journal is indispensable to those who would
truly understand the character of the movement
and measure its progress.-Harper's Weekly.
