FROM WASHINGTON

ana earnest cabinet consultation to- day. The
principal subject Of discussion was the cond-
ton OF the public business. At the end OF
the conversation, the President announced
that after due consideration he come to the
conclusion that it would he proper for him
not 70 make . visit 20 the South. The condi-
tons of the business which ;Yll be created
by tie incoming Of a new administration will
be such as to require his presence, and that OF
the cabinet in Washington. For these rea-
sons he will not visit the Southern States in
March, as he intended if the public service

the Fourth of March, and a proclamation
will be issued probably Tomorrow. 1t seems
to be believed by all prominent officers of the
government, that the public business before
Congress is the appropriation bills, which
must Of necessity be passed and completed
before the Fourth of March, and thus there
will be TO reason for called session of both
houses.

ing the nomination and appointment to the

Quence Of wounds received during the late

gal steps in his behalf. 1t is asserted that
General Butler, who has taken an interest in
OBrien, will appear as counsel for him pro-
vided new trial is obtained.
The House Committee on Judiciary have
not yet met to consider whether there is suti1-
cient cause, from evidence before the Poland
Committee, TO prefer articles against any
public officers. According to the report,

its victim to hope for recovery, but is sure to
darken those hopes in the bitter ending. The

In the blessed enjoyment of that hope, her

Woman suffra ge In the Legislature ofIs12.
The report has been widely circulated by
the opponents of woman suffrage, that the de-
cided majority by which bill enfranchisng
women, passed the Senate of last winter, was
no true indication of the sincere opinions
Of the Senators, and that the vote was
only practical joke. The following
note received by member of the legislature
from Hon. Reuben Foster, President of the
Senate Of 1872, will serve to correct the
wrong impression that may have been crea.
ted by the report:
WATERvLIE, Feb. 10th, 1873.
DEAR SIR: Your favor of yesterday is at
hand. You refer to the vote of the Senate of
1872, on the bill granting woman suffrage in
the election of President and Vice President
of the United States. In reply to your In.
quiry, will say that always understood
that vote, which appears by yea and nay on
the Senate journal, to have been an express
ion Of the serious and sincere support and
opposition of all Senators voting on that
question. Had the House concurred have
no doubtthe bill would have had final pas
sage. Mos. truly,
II. Foster.
