LATE AND LAME DEFENsE.

The almost universal denunciation Of
what is known as the "salsry steal" By the
PEOPLE of the country Of all shades of po-
Itical opinion, is producing its results. The
Washington correspondent of the Cincin-
natl Gazette says, March 80:
sSeverSl members who did not vote on
the salary bill have written to the officers of
the House, trying to induce the latter TO
believe they failed to record the vote accu
rstely, and that they were really present
and voted DO. A fact which stands in the
way of accepting such explanations is that
after the names were recorded The entire
list was read as usual at the desk, so that
members could make The correction at the
time, if any mistakes had been made in re-
cordinC the names. Several of those who
are claiming that the voted to save the bill
did not vote till after the call was completed
ard the bill had really passed"

womEN,s RIGHTS IN ILLINOIS.

What is known as the woman's property
law in Illinois, empowers the married To-
man to acquire, hold and dispose of property
m 70 enter into contracts aud sue or be sued
without tie slightest reference to her hus-
HIND: to control Der own actions, time and
earnings, as if she were femme sole com
,,,atelv emsncipated f:om the legal suprem-
COW If the husband. This legislation has
rosn,ted in q rather novel decision recently
announced by the Supreme SCourt
Of that State, affecting the re-
,.;blitv of husband for the
Its 81 his wife. A woman WHO had been
s,ondered by a married woman sued the
,,,,sb.nd of the offender for damages 1t
was declared by the Judge who announced
- decision of the courl, that modern leg
s.,o,,on had almost obliterated the common
w 90 far as the marital relations were
- o,noorne5. The wife having been emanci-
nated by legislation, the husband must not
T. Iost in slavery; he has no longer claim
mon her property, person or time' and this
reIieves him Of responsibilities heretofore
ovisting. In consonanca with this prlnci
do Il was decided that the HUSBAND Wa
not responsible for uiterance of Islander ,s .!
,ho wife, The justice of this decision lev
r;Il doubt; the principles OF Ia" unue
,vbicb husbands were liable for damages il
" Of this character, came down from
,ime when there was really an urgent ne
cessity for q crusade to secure a re'0Di'''l
Of the rights of women.

Tertiary. But he was kept there only q
few days, for Grant was quick to pardon
him, and it was announced, by way OF JUS
tifcatlon, that his action was based upon
the petition of aprominent citizens.a II is
now stated that all attempts have failed to
get from the Attorney Generals office the
names ofths sspromine1t citizens" at whose
request The President pardoned Brown, the
re1eater But the Philadelphia Aye says
some answer will hayeto be giSen next.
December to the resolution Of inquiry
adopted in the House Of Representatives
on motion of Mr.. Randall. The with
holding of the names is as illegal as It is In
decent. The recommendation for pardon
is in no sense private or confidential com
munication, but public paper addressed to
public officer, which he has no right to
withhold or suppress. But doubtless the
President is ashamed to name the scound-
rels of the 'Ring" whom be styled ''promi-
nent citizens Of Philadelphia" in pardoning
their accomplish in election frauds. 1t is
thus that criminals who violate the laws in
promoting the interests of the Repnbi-
can party go sunwhips Cf justice" Grant
is ready as soon as they are convicted to
pardon them. Jr-

PARDONING A "REPEATER."

A curious case showing the uncertainty
of Furnishing criminals under Grant has
been developed in Pennsylvania. A noto-
rious scoundrel named Brown was con-
victed in Philadelphia of repeating in
recent election there. This conviction was
secured, not under the State law, but IN
der the operation of that drag net called
the enforcement act, constructed by Con-
gress to operate in the South. 1t was
never intended that it should catch men
who "repested" and stuffed bsllot-boxes in
the North TO help the Republicans TO carry
an election, but it was sprung in Phiiadel-
phia and did catch one of these fellows
he was duly tried and convicted, mol
by court organised to convict, as in the
South, but by regularly constituted judi
! cial tribunal, and he was sent to the peni'

CAREFULLY PREPARED ARGU-
MENIS.''

A Memphis contemporary in its hot OPP
position to the Fuuding law says the Shelby
county members were "cut off and deprived
from making their carefully prepared argu-
ments" against that bill. 1t will doubtless
BE- a matter of rejoicing to the citizens of
Shelby TO learn that the anti fuDders IN the
Legislature from that county ha2 ''care-
fully prepared arguments" upon one sub
ice, before tie General Assembly. Per-
haps The merchants from Memphis
would have preferred that those
arguments" should have been upon the
merchants tax question in which they are
Sd deeply interested. Perhaps the Reform
Association of the Bluff City would have
preferred that those "carefully preraTed ar
Q ,ments" should have been fitted to relieve
them Of the heavier burdens of their nu-
merous courts. But all this dove-llke
thunder was choked in The delivery. A
Memphis constituency asks in vain for fruit
from its orchard of legislative representa-
tiyes.

a LAwTO PUNISH sTRIKERs.

The Illinois Legislature has recently
passed very stringent law to punish COM
binalions of either l2borsTs or employers,
who may combine to increase or depress
the prices of labor. The law Furnishes by
a fiue of $500 any person Eho shall, by
threat, intimidation or unlawful interfer-
ence, seek to prevent any other person from
obtaining work on any terms he or she
shall see ct. Combinations Of two or more
persons 10 deprive the owner OF
property of its lawful use or
management are forbidden, and
any persons who, By threats, suggestions OF
danger, or any unlawful means, shall pre-
vent any person or persons f.om being en-
ployed by such owner, on such terms as
the parties concerned may agree upon, are
made subject to penalty OF 500 line and
an Imprisonment of SIX months. A like
penalty is imposed upon persons interfer-
ing with the operations of coal mining. The
strikes among workman which are occur
ring so frequently Of late, will most likely
result in the enactment Of similar law in
other States.
A Massachusetts judge has just inter
nreted statute of that State as providing
similar safeguards for personal liberty. he
has committed for trial horse-shoer who,
being on strike, threatened and assaulted
a laborer who refused to join the strike
The law, the judge said, did not recognize
a right in one person, eiteer alone or IL
combination with others, to disturb and
annoy another, either directly or indirectly
to compel him 10 do any act whatever
This is a broad statement of a law so just
that, if it does not already exist, should bt
placed on the statute book of every State
Nashville union and American. [volume] (Nashville, Tenn.) 1868-1875, 1873-04-02

AN ingenious California statist has just
demonstrated by figures that mining is not
a paying business in that State. He takes
for his starting point the assumption that
fifty thousand people are engaged in gold
mirirg there, and that their wages average
$3.50 day. Giving them three hundred
working days in year, this would make
the cost of labor for the year S37,500,000.
The gold product for the year 1872, how
ever, was only s2O,OOO,OC0, SO that each
dollar actually cost Sl87R. The people of
California had better turn their attention to
wheat and fruit-growing or sheep raising.
These pursuits viii pay.

AMERICAN EXHIBITORS AT VI
EMMA


1t is asserted that there will be sos more
American exhibitors at the Vienna Expo
silion than were At that of Paris in 1857.
The total number of exhibitors is 500.
Over $50 firms contribute machinery that
will bes exhibited in motion and will occu-
py a spacs of $1,000 square feet. Twenty
five firms engaged in the manufacturing of
agricultural implements are represented
and will occupy space of aboas $1,000
SQUARE feet. Tennessee coal, iron, copper
and other minerals, it is believed, will be
favorably represented. We hope that fair
SAMPLES cut from our largest forest trees,
showing at once our magnificent timber,
and the valae of the soil aud and eli
mate that produce such plants, will
also fiud their way to this European
Exposition. There are no walnuts, oaks,
poplars, chestnuts, nor buckeyes in Europe
equal to some that grow in Tennessee and
other States. The climate Of Europe no
where has the vegetable power which gives
existence to our best crops of corn, cotton,
tobacco, fruit, and forest timber. D5fe-ts
in soil enc may cure by drainage, manure
aud tillage; but how will you make a corn
or cotton climate against the decree OF
naiure?

too much to vote against him. Ambition
