THE rLoTERIkL CONTEST.

Next Saturday the voters of Shelby
county will vote for Floater to repre-
sent Shelby and Fayette in the next
Legislature. According to the figures
and arrangements made by the Execu-
tive Committee, Shelby will be entitled
to fifty-three delegates in the Pictorial
Convention, her fractional population
not otherwise represented being about
three thousand. Fayette will have
eighteen delegates, her surplus being
about one thousand. 1t has been agreed
upon to give the Floater to Fayette
county, but in the convention Shelby is
entitled to be heard, SO far as making
the selection to represent the united in
terests of both counties. Several gen
tIemen from Fayette county are In the
field as candidates. The proposition
that Fayette shall not only insist that a
Fayette county man shall be selected,
but that the selection must be left to
Fayette alone, is ridiculous in the ex-
IRENE, since in the unrepresented frsc-
ton of population Shelby has three
thousand and Fayette only one. The
people of Fayette have no right or rea-
son to complain, since Shelby gives them
the Floater, and desires to assist in nom
mating and electing the best man.

woMAK,s RIGHTS AND WRONGS.

In these days of female suffrage and
freedom, when the woman claims all
the political and social privileges so
long usurped and selfshly enjoyed by
the monster man, what feelings of in
dignation it must create in the female
bosom to look back to the time when the
enjoyment of woman's rights was at
tended with some peril. Parton finds
the following among the statutes Of Vir-
ginia of l776:
Whereas oftentimes many babbling
women often SANDER and scandalize
their neighbors, for which their poore
husbands are often brought into charge
able and vexatious suites, and caste in
great damages Bee it therefore enact
ed by the authority aforesaid, that IN
actions Of SANDER, occasioned by the
wife as aforesaid, after judgment passed
for the damages, the woman shall be
punished by ducking, and if the Islander
be so enormous as to be adjudged at a
greater damage than five hundred
pounds Of tobacco, then the woman to
suffer ducking for each FIVE hundred
pounds of tobacco adjudged against the
husband, if he refuse to pay the to-
bacco.
The men Of '76 seem to have regarded
women as disposed to exercise more
rights than were compatible with the
peace of society and the toboeeo in
terests of their connubial partners. The
woman rights women can add new
string to the lash as they read this evi
dence Of mans barbarism and inhuman
ity TO woman.

WHAT citizen having the best interests
of the city and county in view can for
moment hesitate between Doyle and
Curry, the candidates for the shrievalty2
Colonel Curry is the Radical candidate
Of the negro party. Mr.. Doyle is the
candidate Of the white mans Conserva-
tive party. Take the negro vote away
from Curry and he would be left with
but few supporters. Colonel Curry is a
politician, partisan, and has always
stuck to the negro party that elected
him. The vail of mo politics in local
elections is for the purpose of catching
the votes Of good-natured Democrats,
who regard Colonel Curry as a good
fellow, socially. You cannot induce
Colonel Curry to publish a card to the
effect that he is a Conservative or a
Liberal Republican, To do so would
destroy his popularity with the negroes.
Those Of Colonel Curry's friends who
on the street corners proclaim his con
servatism, but say that he has to keep
his politics shady on account Of the
negro vote, had better get the Colonel to
announce his political predictions in
print. This is no time for double deal
