Woman Suffrage in Maine.

The convention Just held Mt Augusta
TO form n State Woman Suffrage Con:
vention surprised even the friends OF
this movement by the large attendance
and great interest shown. 1t isvery
evident that the question is exercising
the puhlic mind and has gained
strength to an extent that most persons
are slow to admit. 1t is significant
TINT 1t has already passed from the
stage of Jest and ridicule to that OF re-
spectful consideration and candid Argu-
ment and when question like this
has reached such position it cannot
long be kept out of the political field.
Indeed, when such papers MS the Port
land Press and Belfast JournaI-repre-
senting both political parties - take
strong ground in favor Of the move
ment, il is evident tho question is like
" soon to become u practical one.
One Of the objects Of the convention
at Augusta was to present the subject
to the Legislature, and particularly to
the Judiciary Committee Of that body,
who have before them q resolve sub.
hitting to the people nh amendment OF
our State Constitution, striking out the
word "malc" from Article 8, relating to
the qualifications of electors. The
adoption OF such an amendment wonld
extend the right of suffrage to women
who are qualified TO exercise such right
in other respects. In order to submit
the ouestion to tho people, two.third
vote Of each branch Of the Legislature
would be required. As there are many
members opposed, or ut least not com.
mitted, to woman suffrage, who wonld
vote to submit the question to the peo-
pie on tho ground that many citizens
desire tho opportunity to test the pop
ular Judgment on the question, there is
q bare possibility that the resolve may
be reported and receive the requisite
vote to bring it before the people next

An Uneasy King.

When, in December, 1870, the crown
of Spain was presented to Amadeus, Mt
Florence, the pleased young man re-
marked ~ have before me smooth,
and hope happy, course to pursue"
Alas for the vanity OF human hopes !
Prim, who presented the name Of Amad-
Gus to the Spanish Cortes rs q candi-
date, was shot in his carriage the day
before the new King arrived, and died
the day that he landed. Amadeus
arrived in Madrid in January, 1871, and
forthwith assumed the duties Of King,
since which time he has found anything
but smoothness in his path, while he
has been shining mark for the con.
spirators, who have used his royal body
as n target or.their irregularly aimed
bullets. Spain was no easy country to
pacify. Isabella had been driven out
in 1868, md in June, 1870, she wrote
her formal abdication in favor of her
son, Prince AliOnzO. Immediately
after this, the crown was rendered to
Leopold, OF Hohenzollern, whose pre-
tentions Louis Napoleon disputed, and
on account OF which the Franco-G German
war, with all its disasters, was waged.
Meantime and all the time, there has
been perpetual Carlist conspiracy
either smouldOring in the cmbers or
bursting into full blaze. Amadeus
has had steady insurrection on his
hands, Cuba has been in n ierment, and
altogether things have gone quito awry.
Two weeks ago n Prince was born to
therOyRl pair. The cities were iubilant.
The North country was not. In fact,
the Carlists manifested their sense OF
the gravity of the situation by breaking
out into hostilities. The Immediate
cause of the present disposition of
Amadeus to resign is the persistence of
the Ministry and the Cortcs in keeping
Don ITidalgo in high office. The King
has not been able TO keep Ministry
together for any length Of time, nor
has he been on good terms with the
Cortes. In his New Year speech to the
deputAtion OF Parliament, the King
expressed very strong nnti.slavery sen.
timents in regard to Porto Rico, He
is far in advance OF the Cortes and the
Ministry on this subject. They mean
TO promise only and to daily and delay.
He is earnest in behalf OF Emancipa-
ton. II appears now ms II Amadeus
could do no better tllan TO abdicAto the
throne. Should he do so, Regentw
doubtless be elected, and Spain will
cast about for another sovereign.
There arc many monarchs and aspirants
out Of business in Europe now, among
whom n suitable occupant for the
throne ought to DO found. But no
Bourbon or Carlist will do, and the
Republic may yet be proclaimed aud
set up.
