HENS N GENERAL.

The New York Tribune calls Judge
BrinkerhoR Of Mansfield "Republi-
can Of high character" Heis nosuch
thing. AS soon as he had got as high
an official position as he could reach
in the party, he discovers that he is
in his opinion too good for that party
and seeks something different. That
indicates something wrong. Again,
when a good, able Republican was
nominated to succeed him on the
Supreme bench Of the State, he imme-
diateiy sought for means to defeat him.
! Heis no Republican at all and as for
/ his high character meanness in politics
viii injure that as much as doing
wrong in private life would.
The President, declares the Southern
press, must not let his contemplated
reforms in New York blind him to the
need Of equally sweeping measures in
New-Orleans, Mobile, and elsewhere.
"The evidence against these latter
gentlemen is quite as conclusive and
almost as unsavory as that against
the Others, and the circumstance that
one Of them is a member of the fam
ily makes the Presidents duty and in
terest in the premises all the pIainer,U
says the Springfield Republican.
The Western Democracy don't like
the amendments to the Constitutions
that have been adopted since the war
and denounee them as "Radical usur-
patiOns and villainies." Here is how
the Connecticut Democracy look at
the question
ResOlUed, That the Democracy of
Connecticut regard emancipation,
equality Of civil rights and enfranch-
isement as established facts now en-
bodied in the Constitutions and deserv-
ing the respect Of good citizens Of all
parties.
Several trains Oh the Union Pacific,
long delayed by the snow blockade,
arrived at Ogden on Saturday. Pas
sengers arriving at Salt Lake, many
Of them sick from ;ong exposure and
harassing detention, complain bitter
ly against the Union Pacific Company,
declaring thatwith proper effort trains |
might have got through two weeks |
earlier. These trains were blocked on
Laramie Plains.
The editor Of the Baltimore Ameri-
can, who is an intimate friend of the
President, in an editorial, says office
holders who are true friends Of the
President viii stay away from the
Philadelphia convention, and will by |
such a course please the President. !
We think the proposition a very SEN
sibIe one. 1t is getting so now that |
office-holders NEEDLE too much with |
matters outside of their official duties. |
Its well to show gratitude, but when |
they assume, by their actions, that
the welfare of the party rests upon
theiT shoulders entirely, the matter
gets disgusting.
Collector Markell, of the Twenty
first Pennsylvania District, has re-
signed, and, the President has agreed |
that his place shall be filled by COM
petitive examination. The place is |
worth about $4,000 per annum, and |
any one who is a resident of the dis
triet at the time Of the examination is
Atthe Woman Suffrage Convention |
in Columbus last week but lew dele
gates were present. Resolutions as
follows were passed:
WHEREAS, To-day by the most in
telligent statesmen in the world that |
government is considered the nearest /
perfection which rests on the consent !
of the governed; and
"WHEREAs, Women equally with
men constitute the governed, and
therefore equally with men should
their consent be given to and their
viii be embodied in the constitution
and laws of the government under
which they live; and
ffWHEREAs, The ballot is the only
instrument by which the will of the
can be directly and effectu-
ally expressed, women with men
should have an equal right TO use it
therefore
aResolued, 1st, By the Ohio WO-
mans Suffrage Association in their
annual convention assembled, that
this organization was formed and is
now maintained for the one single
end of securing suffrage to the women
Of our state and our country at large,
and we invite all our people, regard
less of their religious faith or want of
faith, regardless of their political or
social OplRiOns upon all other subjects,
to unite and work with US until this
one grand object is secured"
Upon the resolution given q long
and acrimonious debate was had
Mrs. Swisshelm opposed it on the
ground that she was not with the free
lovers, and offered the appended as a
"ResolUed, That marriage is the
Of all human relations, an
distinction between mankind
and the brute creation, and that those
who would destroy it do but aim to
reduce the race to the plane Of the
buffalo,"
which was voted down, and the first
resolution adopted. The rest of the
resolutions are comprised in the fol-
lowing:
Pledging the influence Of the organ
isation to secure the election of dele
gates to the coming Constitutional
who will pledge them
selves to amend the Constitution so as
to constitute woman equal with men
in ali political and legal relations; that
it is the duty of the friends of woman
suffrage to use their best efforts to de-
feat the enemies Of impartial suffrage
and elect those who will make the en-
franchisement of woman a cardinal {
principle of his political action; also,
the labor reform party
Of Massachusetts for recognizing wO-
mans full rights of citizenship, and
in demanding equal compensation for {
wOmanis labor.
The whole thing was fizzle.
The Democratic party is emphatic
lily the party of Reform. When it I
