OPINIONS OF THE PRESS.

TIE WoAAs's JouRsAL.--The friends OF woman
suffrage, who wish to keep the issue clear from
entanglng alliances with other reforms and the
endless host of individual whims and yagaries--
who would pursue 1t with the same singleness of
aim that marks the movement in England, and
the temperance and other special reforms in this
country, have established a weekly paper, the
Wonldns Journal, published in Boston and Chi
cago, and edited by Mrs Liyermore Mrs. Lucy
Stone. Mrs. Julia Ward Howe Mr.. VIM. Lloyd
Garrison, and Mr.. T. w. Higginson, assisted by
accomplished friends of the cause. The Wo-
mans Journal is q fair and attractive paper in
appearance, while the variety and spirit of its
articles, and the dignity, self-respect, good
humor, and earnestness of it's 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.

HORACE GREELEY,s BIRTHDAY,

The New York Ecesng Maiz gives a
very interesting description of the recep-
ton given by A. j. johnson, to Horace
Greeley, upon his sixty-frst birthday. II
was very brilliant and delightful affair.
Some four hundred of the most prominent
people in New York assembled to do honor
to one, who, more than almost any other
man of his time, unites in personal respect
and affection men of all parties. However
much any of us may differ from the veteran
of the Tribune in opinion, all of us concede
his grand simplicity of character, and re-
we're his personal worth. We quote from
the Mail some letters which will interest
our readers: ,'2E sral 4
The reception rooms were gracefully
decorated with flowers and feetooned with
rare trailing vines and creepers. A con-
splcuous object on the wall was Mr.. Car
penter's fine portrait of Mr.. Greeley, ap-
proprlately garlanded for the occasion.
Before the reception MIR. Greeley and a
lew OF his personal friends dined with Mr..
and Mrs. johnson, when the following cor
respondence was read: srsN ~.

LETTER FROM o. W. HOLMES.

DR.. and Mrs. Holmes regret that it is not in
their power to accept the polite Invitation of Mr..
and Mrs. johnson for Saturday evening. 1t
would be great pleasure to meet them and
their honored guest on an occasion SO full OF IN
tereet MIR. Greeley has reached n ''gr;tnd eli
macterc'' of deserved reputation, If not quite
mp TO that epoch in years. He has made himself
felt in journalism as one of the greatest powers
of the Time and added manly element to the
thought of the people among whom he has
passed his life of varied activity If he has ever
erred II has been in the pursu of an ideal OBJ
ect which it is better TO miss than not to aim at.
His yigor and courage, joined to the thorough
humanity of his nature, are so generally rccos-
nized as worthy of all honor, that if Mr.. and
Mrs. johnson should invite all the friends v he
would be glad to pay their respects to him, it
would have to be AN open-air meeting, whore
the warm hearts of q great multitude would fiud
themselves doing battle with tine cold winds of
February, as Mr. Greeley's enthusiasm was
fought against the GOODNESS and indifference of o
world which he has helped to make warmer,
truer and better than he found it. N

The Fundip 6 law Of 1871 stands, therefore,
on the sarne footing with all other laws
enacted by the State, 50 far as the right of
alteration, amendment, or repeal are con-

it, nor have any old rights been surren-

is all that has been effected, except that the
