WOMEN.

We are reminded, in paper in the last
| number Of the Revue deS Deur M0ndeS, that
the present movement In favor of ''Wo-
mans Right" is by no means the novelty
which It's promoters would have US believe.

Emancipation of Won n" says tnat for
nearly four hundred years women have
found ardent believers in their absolute
equality with the rougher race of men.
Cornelius Agrippa, once great power in the
world of letters as long ago as 1900, published
his "Treatise on the Superiority of Women
to Men," which he demonstrated in
thirty chapters, by a cloud of theological,
physical, historical, cabalistical, and moral
proofs. In 1862 Ruscelii brought out
fresh book on he same side, based on the
Platonic philosophy, as Plato was under
stood by the theorists of the Renaissance.
Women writer's followed in he same path,
and notably a fair Venetian, Lucrezia Nor

ness and Excellence of Women, together
with the Faults and Imperfecti9ns of Men,"

ELEO CORAL yOEE OF TENNESSEE

The death of Mr.. Greeley before the cast
ing Of The Electoral vote, presented new
question to those Electoral Colleges that
had been elected on the Greeley and Brown
ticket The short time which intervened
between the sudden, most unex-
pected death of Mr. Greeley and the
meeting Of the Electoral Colleges,
prevented consul alton and to a very great
extent left each State to act fol itself upon
the individual judgment Of members of the
Electorll College. The Electoral College
Of Tennessee had reason to be more
embarrassed, perhaps, than that ofany other
S a,e, because of the death and absence Of
several regularly chosen electors, aud the
necessity Of having their places filed by al
ternaies selected on the spur of the mo-
msnt. Nevertheless they came up to the
work ike men, feeling the responsibility,
aud they performed 1t without jar OF totter.
Their voice was unapimous for Gov. Hen
6richs, Of Indiana, not that they desired to
give him prominence in the future or make
capital for themselves as the leaders of
what really seems "a forlorn hope," but be-
cause they regard him as faithful and cor
rect exponent of the principles of the party
which elected them over Grant consolida-
ton, Capitalization, monopolies and Rad
icalism generally. In addition, and as
complimentary, be was the only guberna.
toril candidate who made successful
trial run in the October elections.
There is at least one thing consol1tory in
the vote of Tennessee: the Democratic
electors took counsel Of themselves, and
then voted what they believed to be strictly
in accordance with political principle.

rHE sTrUATToN IN FRANCE.

The situation seems so critical in France
since the resssembling Of the National
Chamber that it may be worth while to noe,
before further explosions, the composition
of that turbulent body. At first sight,
there seem TO be four parties 10 France
Republicans, Bonapar.ists, Orleanists, and
Legitmis,s or Bourbons. Practically, how
ever, we find no less than six factions in
the Assembly. First we have the Extreme
Left, composed of Red Republicans, Social
lists; second, the Left proper, composed of
moderate Republicans; third, the Left Gen.
tire, still more Conservative in their views,
and ready Cor any compromise 10 keep the
peace. fourth, the Right Centre, monarch
lists who prefer Orleanism; fifth, the Right
proper, who prefer Henry v;
and sixth, the Extreme Right, who are out
and ous Legitimis5s, and believe in the old
.feuT de Us, the Pope,and no dynasty under
8 thous I'D years old. The first section, of
very extreme Radicals, numbers about 20;
they look up to Gambetts, and Louis
Blsnc is their parliamentary leader. The
Left proper numbers l60, and II. Grevy
may be taken as oue OF its Characteristic
men. The third, or Left Centre, has 140
members, under the lead Of Chanzy; these
call themselves Thiers Republicans, and
have been supporters OF the President
through thick and thin until this present
d
member, headed by Due de Brogle, Due
d'Audriffs5 Pssquin, and the Odeanists.
The Ri n proper numbers 40, while 90
Deputies sit on the Extreme Right,
under tho lead of Comte de Beauregard,
waiting for ChAmbord and bis lily white
hay. A summiOgiup gives $50 mOnarchists
against 230 pronounced Republicans, while
the i40 cfthe Left Centre may be said to be
on the fence. Like Theirs, they believe in
God aud monarchy, but they have been sus-
tanning the republic as the stdtu quo, be-
cause they see no5chance for monarchy ex-
cept through blood. The developments of
the past week indicate that these 140 of the
Left G ntre are becoming alarmed at the
socialist tendencies of their Republican
brethren, and are throwing themselves into
the arms of the moDarchists as the only per-
manens party of order. The absence of
Bonsplrtists in TIE assembly is significant.
Whatever plots the exile Of Chiselhurst may
have on foot, lie in another direcsion-the
army,
From the above it will be seen that no
party have majority in the National Leg
islature, AMI the hybrid regime of Theirs
must fall so soon IS any combination is
formed that gives a majority working in
unison. As the correspondent of the New
York Herald puts it, "Thiers exists By deal
ing with the six parties like juggler with
six eggs on six plates. He never holds
mJre than one party at time, and keeps
the rest spinning through the air." He
holds the opposing factions in hand by play
ing prejudice against prejudice, and passion
agains: passion, thus turning their forces
tainst each other, while be carefully keeps
up the appearance of mpartiality, first pat
ting one on the shoulder then the other,
now making eloquent concessions to the
one and bow to the other, from the tribune
of the Assembly.

The Laws of Health.

On page 865, section 1929, Code of Tennessee,
under the head of Offences against the public
health" the law is very clear against the sale OF
unwholesome food, and if we mistake not, there IS
also city. ordinance on the subject. Now, what
we are driving at is the apples that we see in
market every day. Surely they cannot be
classed under any other head than unwhole-
some food, and we feel assured every physician
in the city will bear us out in this assertion: We
think the matter should be attended to. Every
day We hear of sickness and death, and as o!
climate is in general healthy one, much of 1t
must be attributable to unripe fruit. The city
cannot afford to let this continue thus, to put tut
them in return fiji our homes with sickness and
our cemetery with the dead Some one may say
why do people eat them if they know that it is
unwholesome food? We answer why do men
drink the intoxicating beverage when they
know it is taking them to ruin? They see the the
strong, they enter, drink and go to ruin. Thus
it is with the unripe fruit they see the appetite
Graves, they buy, eat, get sick and die. But II
there is law against the sale of this kind of food
let it be enforced and thus prevent much harm

HOW Conner Mines Paw.

The Ducktown copper mines are daily manu-
featuring six thousand pounds of pure copper.
This, at forty-fve cents per pound, amounts in
the aggregate to 81. 7OO-deduct 20 cents per
pound for making and carrying the same to the
New York market and the net profits per day
will be 81, 500
Another fact connected with the operations is
this Scientific men say that the smoke that
escapes from the roast piles and furnaces at these
works is worth two hundred dollars per day,
The present mode of transportation by wagons
is so expensive that it would not pay to hus-
band the smoke, so as to make it remunerating.
Railroad facilities however, would justify the
taking care of the smoke and make it a source
of revenue to the company and the country
