COMING RoUND.---Ther West Ten
nessee Democrat, at Huntingdon,
comes round to the idea OF not plac-
lug any Democratic candidate for the
Presidency In nomination in 1879, In
the following emphatic manner:
We care not what politicians and
demagogues may say, the indications
are very clear that the masses Of the
Democratic party at the South, In the
border states especially, are OPP
posed to setting up any Democratic
man OF straw for the North to knock
down 10 1872. They feel that owing
to the blunders of northern leaders
and the passion engendercd by the
war not having subdued, it Is useless
to put forward o candidate on any
platform, and are content to see them
run the machine themselves. All
that we ask, Is that good man BIZ
selected, one who will reform the
abuses that have crept into the ad-
ministration Of the govern ent, and
restore 1t, as far as possible, to its con-
|stitutional limits. Weare for any man
for President who will administer the
Government ECONOMICALLY
and HONESTLY.

Peter looked at her with a malicious
grin, and the poor child, realizing the
full extent of her long-pent hatred for
the man who had wrecked every hope
and ambition of her life went off into
commissions.
Dinner was not again thought of that
day-by Peter or his wife.
Ellen was laid upon a bed in the
font room of the wretched cabin, and
though she would sometimes recognize
dear Aunt Betsy rs she reclined in her
chair beside her, she took no note of
other surroundings, except to shudder
and go off into renewed convulsions
whenever her glimmering reason would
enable her to recognize her husband.
Evening came, and good old Aunt Bet
seyGraham was carried home to leave her
couch no more. A few weeks passed
rapidly away, and her remains were de-
posted in the church yard, where a plain
white board was planted at her head,
on which were inscribed the precious
words, "He giveth His beloved sleep"
Ellen gradually recovered from her
severe indisposition, and resumed her
accustomed duties; but to Peter Dowd
she showed no signs of recognition after
that dreadful day.
Readers mine, who have thus far fol-
lowed Ellen Dowd through her sad
life-vicissitudes, there are happier days
i'm store for her. You shall hear more

THE RIGHT OF LABOR.-The Assem-
bly, of Illinois refused yesterday to pass
the following harmless Senate bill: Be
it enacted, etc, That no person shall be
precluded or debarred from any occupa-
tion, profession or employment Except
military on account of sex: Provided,
That this act shall not be construed to af-
feet the eligibility Ofanypers9n to an cleo
tive office. The object of this bill is to
open to women certain privileges from
which they are now debarred by a med
iaeval state statute, built in days when
women were good for nothing but scul-
| lions and farm hands. There are dozens
/ of towns in Illinois in which the highest
convenience of the people will be served
I by giving to women the power of be-
coming NOtaries Public. There is no
town, or county, or city in Illinois which
can, by any. human possibility, be in
iured by the passage of this bill. 1t is
merely a bill to enforce the naturalright
of women to earn their bread in any
way they honestly can. 1t confers upon
them no right which they do not al
ready hold in justice and equity, III
merely asserts that the State VIII no
longer keep her appointed gifts Tor one
half of fhe peOple to the enforced eX-
cIusion of the other half. The bill SIM
pIv enables every Individual IN the
State to earn a living in whatever way
that individual chooses. Its prlnelpaI
effect will be to permit women OF intel
ligence and education to be Notaries
Public and to practice law. Any man
who in our day refuses these two simple
rights to qualified women is a man born
centuries after he should have been in
his grave. He does not belong to this
age or to this nation, and he has no bus
iness in the Legislative Assembly of Ill
inOis. Under the State constitution
and the charters, women are eligible to
any appOintive office, but they are ex-
eluded from the practice of law and all
emOlumentsunder it. Every university
and law school in the country, which
has reputable name, admits andinyites
them to qualify themselves for the pro-
fession. Is the State of Illinois to re-
fuse them the right to practice it, after
l they have spent years and money IN
fitting themselves?
The bill has nothing to do with SUI
frage. It cannot offend any mans sense
of justice. 1t ought to be reconsidered
and passed. Chicago Ere1ing FoSf-

John Weiss has made good sugges-
ton. 1t is that we should have a spec
iaI court of divorce, on whose bench no.
bic natrons should sit by the side of ac-
complished men, to throw the instinct
of wifehood and the subtle judgment of
the woman into their grave balancing.
We have held this opinion, and are only
too glad to have it set forth by so clear
and sharp-sighted a thinker as Mr..
Weiss. Were special commission for
divorce, consisting of an equal number
of men and matrOns, appointed for each
county, to consider every application in
secret session and render final decision
or send a recommendation to a higher
court, we should have a nearer approxi.
nation to justice in 4 matter of the
greatest delicaey and difficulty, and be
saved the disgraceful and demoralizing
publication OF the reports of divorce
trials.-IIItOR's Golden Age.
