From the State House.
Favorable Repor: on Woman Suffrage
The River Fisheries-A DuH Day.

BosToN, March Is, 1872.
The committee on woman suffrage reported TO
the house to-day a resolve providing for a
change in the constitution. 1t is proposed to
strike out the word "male" therefrom, and al
low women to vote and hold office, under the
same conditions as men. Six members signed
the report-Messrs. Pike and Coe of the senate
and Messrs. Towne, Kelley, Gates and Mutt of
the house. Five of the committee were against
it-Messrs. Smith of the senate, and Keefe,
Hopkins, Thayer and Dresser of the house.
The house held a session of three hours
to-day. River fisheries was the subject
of a good deal CT talk. An attempt
was made TO modify the law of 1869, so
as to allow the taking of fish freely in the rivers
and spoil all the work of the fish commission
ers, who have been engaged for three years un-
der great difficulties in stocking our rivers with
shad and salmon. The house showed no dis
position, despite the efforts of some of the gen
tlemen who have constituencies in the Merrmac
river towns, 10 mperil the lives Of all the young
stad and salmon at this time. The bill to in-
corporate that pioneer peoples club-the Union
for good works in New Bedlord,-was sent to
keep company with your Peoples club bill on
the table. The house accepted with little debate,
the report of the liquor committee inexpedient
on the proposition to amend the acts of 1869
relative TO the sales of druggists. The other
matters in the house were of trifing importance
with the exception of the bill relative 10 the adj
miuistering Of oaths, Of which we shall hear
more on Monday, while in the senate there was
nothing of any public interest, the only notable
thing being the engrossment of the bill to cs-
tablish the third district court of southern Wor-
cester
Among the reports accepted in the house to-
day was one from the committee on mercantile
affairs Of 'leaye to Withdraw" on the petition Of
certain parties in Worcester to be incorporated
as a land and building company. The petition
of the trustees Of the girls industrial school at
Lancaster for an appropriation for a barn at the
institution, met a similar fate. Among the bills
ordered to be engrossed was one increasing the
salary of your assistant clerk of the county
courts, and the resolve in favor of the town Of

1t is not pleasant to hear of official rascality
anywhere, but since there is about so much of it
in the world, we find a certain satisfaction in
learning that it is not all in the United States.
Late French papers give accounts of curious
trial, in which one Janvier de Ia Motto, who
seems to have been a kind of French Tweed, was
the defendant. NJ. de la Motto was acquitted
as Tweed very likely will be, ifhe is ever BROUGHT
to trial, but there is as little reason to doubt his
guilt as that Of his New York parallel. He held
several official positions where his opportunities
for speculation were considerable, but it was as
project Of the Eure that he chiefly distinguished
himself by his irregularities" as one of his
ministerial defenders preferred to call them. He
was favorite of the late emperor and it was
for official delinquencies under The empire that
he was put upon his trial. Some Of the charges
against him were curiouslv like those which
Garvey'S recent testimony established
against the Tammany ring. For exam
pie, he borrowed fifteen thousand francs
of one Boulanger and paid him out Of the public
funds, taking receipt for the amount, as if due
for work on the parks. An aeronaut was paid
1000 francs for a balloon ascension, but before
he could get his money he was required to sign
a receipt for 1000 francs more, for building GER
tain terraces, with the construction of which he
had as much to do as with building the pyra-
mids of Egypt There were innumerahle charg-
es besides of forging and altering accounts. He
was acquitted, as we have SAID, apparently be-
cause he was personally popular, and there
seemed to be no special reason for singing him
out for punishment from among all the disrepu-
table officials of the imperial rule, although from
the evidence as reported, including his own adj
missions, it seems impossible to believe him in-
nocent of some of the worst charges. He did
not become rich by his plumber, as Tweed and
Connolly did. Perhaps if he had had so
copious a reservoir to draw from as the
New York treasury, with the priyi-
lege of auditing his own accounts he might
have accumulated a fortune Notwithstanding
his extrayagant habits. His expenses were, as
everybody knew, many times greater than his
official salary and his private means together.
Tweed aud his fellow thieves had only private
and amicable relations with the sheriff while
they remained in Office, but that lunctionary
had pretty frequent business with NJ. de la
Motto while he was project of the Eure. Within
two years and quarter, no less than one hun
dred and forty-three wrts were served upon
him Twice his rich friends paid off his debts,
amounting to more than two hundred thousand
dollars. Mr. Tweed, if his reading ever brings
this French official to his notice, WILL doubtless
pronounce him a poor creature, not altogether
destitute Of capacity, but inexeusable with such
opportunities, for not making handsome pro-
vision for himself, and especially for prelerring
to beg from his friends rather than to supply
his necessities by increased stealings

1t is pleasant to find one of our representa-.
tives in foreign countries well spoken OF in the
place of his official residence, and all the more
gratifying when, as in the case of Mr.. Cramer,
our minister to the court of Denmark, he has
been uureasonaby vilifed. Mr.. Cramer is a
German by birth, we believe, and has given
offence in Copenhagen, where Germany and
Germans are not in high favor, by making too
conspicuous the tastes and sympalhies derived
from the land Of his birth and early asSocia-
fions. The papers there express strong indigna-
ton because, as they say, he uses the German
language in papers addressed to the minister Of
foreign affairs and in various other ways con-
ducts himself az If he were Prussan rather
than an American minister But Mr.. Cramer
has at least one defender. The North schleswig
Gazette says that all this is merely political
partisanship, and proceeds to speak of him in
terms more Mandatory than we remember ever
TO have heard applied to him abroad or at home.
1t says: "He is a very harmless person, not per-
ceptibly fit for the position he occupies, but not
so black as the Danish press paints him." And
vet, so unreasonable are good men sometimes,
Mr.. Crameri Is not satisfied even with this praise.
