The Woman question in England.

According to the Liverpool Mercury the fe-
male sex in England are rapidly acquiring all
the rights enjoyed by men, and are fast max
ing their way into professional and industrial
occupations hitherto held exclusively by
males, and their full political enfranchise-
ment seems an event very near. The INey-
c,Ty remarks:
Lady doctors, lady oyerseers, lady clerks
to school boards, and lady voters at munich
pal elections have become, if we may use the
term, accomplished facts. The horror with
which our immediate prOgenitOrs would have
contemplated woman who practiced surgery
or dabbled in politics has to the present gen
Grafton only one aspect-that Of the ludi-
crous. And so far we have reason to con-
graduate ourselves upon the change which
has been effected. Not one of the evil re-
suits so freely prognosticated by the oppo-
nents OF the movement has been developed.
There are not yet many lady doctors among
us; but the experience derived from their
practice is, so far as it goes, wholly in favor
OF Urge accession to their ranks, and prom
ises sweeping change within the next few
years in the medical profession, so far as the
treatment ofwomen and children is concerned.
Tbs interest which they have taken in mn
nicipal atfaiis since they were permitted to
vote at the election Of town councillors be.
lies every anticipation Of those persons who
commended that they would either not exer-
else the privilege at all or use it preudically.
On the contrary, they have voted in many
boroughs in q greater proportion to their
numbers on the register than the men and
it has not yet been charged against them
that, as body, they voted on the wrong side
or laid themselves open to one-half Of the
serious imputations which have been-apd
not without good reason-directed against
voters of the other sex. The deeper we in
quire into the practical application of the So
cial and political privileges SO far possessed
by women, the more difficult does il seem to
us to exclude them any longer from the par
liamentary suffrage"
In regard to the latter subject there is a
steady increase of strength TO its friends in
Parliament. The representatives of at least
four OF the largest constituencies in the king.
dom voted in favor Of Mr.. Bright's female
suffrage bill at the last session. The vote
stood-yeas l43, nays DO. The House Of
Commons must have been almost petitioned
to death in favor of women suffrage last ses-
sion, for no fewer than si3 petitions, bearing
355, sol signatures, were presented. The Pc
titioners included twenty-seyen town coun-
sils, comprising Manchester, Edinburgh, and
other large communities. Many petitions
were also presented from local boards Of
health and boards Of guardians-bodies which
have had practical experience Of the working
OF women suffrage, having women rate-rayers
among their constituents.

To the People Of the State OF New
Jersey.

fELLoW-CITzENs: Experience teaches
that the science of true government is the
exercise of the fullest liberty, the admins
trahon of exact justice, and the extension Of
equal rights to every citizen, regulated and
protected by law. History has fully de-
veloped that governments cannot be perma.
nent, nor nations prosperous and happy, who
deprive the people, or any portion thereof, OF
their liberty, or their rights and privileges as
citizens, and true political economy has de-
termined that governments can only derive
their powers from the consent Of the gov
erned. Upon these fundamental principles
OF government the Republic was founded, OF
which our state is component part, and
upon which the Declaration Of Independence
was based. Acting upon these principles OF
government, the Constitution of the United
States has conferred upon all its citizens lib
erty and equality, and which has been con-
hrmed by the several States in accordance
with the law. In the absence of proper laws
for the regulation and protection of the rights
and privileges of the citizens of our State. a
portion of them have been, and are deprived
of the free exercise of their rights conferred
upon them by the Constitution Of the United
States and the State of New Jersey. The I'M
just prescription perpetrated upon this por.
ton OF the citizens of our State, is relict Of
slavery and barbarism, and mark foul blot
on the escutcheon Of the State, and ought to
be removed.
There is every reason why this should be
done and none why it should not Humanity
demands it, justice DEGREES it, liberty il not
perfect without it, the Declaration Of indie
pendence asserts it, and the Constitution
conters it. This unjust prescription, which
deprives this portion Of our citizens of their
rights, is obvious to all and one which they
have no power to control. 1t is also a no.
torious fact and one that cannot be disguised
that these rights are denied to no other class
of citizens, but because our
s. Fellow is guilty of a skin,
Not colored like our own,
We doom and devote him
Our lawful prey"
and take sides with inhumanity, court inius-
tice, give the lie to the Declaration of Inde-
pendence Of the original thirteen colonies, of
which New Jersey was an honored member,
and disregard the Constitution under which
the liberties Of her citizens are guaranteed
In the name of humanity, justice, and liberty
/ appeal to the Legislature of the State for
the regulation and protection by equitable
laws Of the rights and privileges Of every citi-
zen, and for the sake of the honor of our be-
loved Commonwealth, 1 appeal to you, fell
to give the strength of your re-
lgious, moral, and political power to the ia
vorable consideration Of such measures as
will secure the enjoyment of the fullest lib
erty to every citizen of the State, without dis
tinctiOn of race, color, or previous condition
Of servitude. JOHN d. BAGwELL,

Men and women and children have passed
from the condition Of cattle to the rank oil
rational beings. Numerous marriages have
elevated the family above the mire or a name
less promiscuousness. Paternity has replaced
illegitimacy. Churches and schools are OPEN
ed. Religion, before mute, factious, or dis
honored, has resumed its dignity and liberty.
Men who had nothing have acquired prop
erty; lands which were waste have become
occupied; inadequate populations have in
creased; detestable processes Of culture and
manufacture have been replaced by better
race reputed inferior, vicious, cruel, lasciy-
ious, idle, refractory to civilization, religion,
and instruction, has shown itself honest,
gentle, disposed to family life, accessible to
Christianity, eager for instruction. Those of
its members who have returned to vagrancy,
sloth, and corruption are not a reproach to
their race as much as TO the servtude which
had left them wallowing in their native igno-
rance and depravity; but these are the mi
nority. The majority labor and show them
selves far superior TO the auxliaries which
China and India sends to the colonists. In
two words, wealth has suffered little civili-
cation has gained much"
Compare these results, Mr.. President, with
your own knowledge Of facts and think you
will join my protest against the insinuation
of the carpet-bag Kentuckian, when you find
il weighed against the favorable opinion of
the distinguished author and impartial OBJ.

Ames and Alley appear in another suit before
the courts where their rasoality is exposed almost
if not quite fully as in the case with Col. Nc.
Comb
A legal controversy has been occupying the at.
tention of the courts in Virginia for some time,
between W. n. Mcveigh as plaintiff, and Judge
John o. Underwood as defendant, resulting from
the alleged cOnfscalion OF the residence of Me.
Weigh, in Alexandria, Va, and the purchase OF
the same by Judge Underwood, which acts of
cOnfscation were declared null and void by the
United States District Court for Virginia. Mr..
McVeigh, not getting possession Of his property,
brought an action of cjectment against Under
wood in the Corporation Court Of the city Of Al
exandiiA, claiming also immense damages.
Some very strange revelations have been made
in the progress OF the suii Ii was testified to by
Francis Dane, of Boston, that he and other credi-
tors of Mr. MeYeigl, after the passage of the con-
fscation law attached his property 10 prevent the
Government from eonfiscating it; they afterwards
sold these judgements TO Alley, Ames and others,
because, as Mr.. Dane said, they were assured by
Alley and Ames, then members Of Congress, and
Judge Underwood, then Judge Of the United
States District Court, under whose decree the
confecatIon sales were made, that the attachment
was worthless but they were willing to buy the
Judgment at q much less value than the property,
TO fall back on il the CoRiiscation failed In Mr..
Ames' words, he wanted these judgements to
plaster over the property. Previous TO the sale
under the conhscation Judge Underwood told us
that this was the first case in which property had
been con6scated in fee SIMPLE, and that Mr.. Viii
ting, solicitor of the War Department, had com
plimented him on that decision.
Dane further testiRes that the same palties in
terBsted In the conhscatiOn sales were present at
sale aud interested in The attachment sales and
that the property worth $4,000 brought S70O0.-
John Z. Balderstone, of Baltimore, testified that
the sales did not take place for two hours after
the time advertised, in order to give time Tor the
transfers TO be drawn TO Alley and Ames, and
that no bell was TuDg or any effort made TO at
tract bidders, and that pTioT TO the sale, Mr.. AL
lev insisted that we should not bid against him
The property was mostly bid in 10y Mr. Alley. i
