Mis- Susan B. Anthony undertook to
test practically the 81 short cut = to woman
suffrage, which is based on the ground that
the constitution of the United States gives
to women the right of voting. She accord
lngly, with dozen other women, rendered
her vote for member of Congress in the 2sth
New York District, and it was received hy
the Inspectors of Election. For this She was
prosecuted under the United States law, for
Illegal voting. In his charge to the iury
Judge Hunt held that the right of voting
arises under the constitution of a State. not
OF the United States; that if the right be-
longs 10 any person, it is because he IS en-
titled to 1t a. a citizen of the State where
he offers to exercise it. and not because of
citizenship of the United States. The
Fifteenth Amendment pro, ides that no State
shall deny the right of suffrage on account
ot " race, color. or previous condition of
serrltnte. The question of sex, therefore
l. not touched hy thi, addition to the funda-
mental law.
The legislature Of New York has seen fit
t" limit the franchise Of voting to the male
sex IN thi> 'naetlnent there is no yiolationof

The Vienna Commission.

We have interviewed Major G S. Blodgett,
our returned Commissioner to the vienna
Exposition. with the following results
Major Blodgett is entirely clear in the be-
lief that Gen. Van Buren, has not been
guilty of any corruption or dishonesty and
that the worst charges that can be sustained
against him are lack of executive ability
and iniudicious selection Of his assistants.
He believes that % Gen" Meyer (where
this individual got the title of General, Maj.
Blodgett could not learn, nor much Of any,
thing Ito his credit, had been son the
make; had sold restaurant permits and
building contracts, and that he was an
altogether unsuitable person for the re-
sponsible place he was in. He remains at
Vienna, as does Gen. Van Buren,, and the
last Major Blodgett saw of them they were
walking, arm in arm, to the Exposition
building. He thinks the selection, for an
other assistant, of Stiasna, an Austrian,
who came to this country, and who has no
such character or standing in his native
country that he could be recognized by the
authorities there, a tremendous blunder.
He thinks there was altogether too much
of such bad management, throughout.
He believes Mr.. John Jay the U. 5. Minis
ter to Austria. to be at the bottom of the
row; that he is man who will ruin when
he cannot rule and that in procuring the
suspension of the entire commission III con-
sequence of the misconduct OF two or three
of its members; and in the unnecessary pub
licity given to the affair, Mr.. JAY course
was extremely injudieious; and has had
the effect to bring deep and unnecessary dis
grace on the American name in Europe
No charges were ever brought against
Major Blolgett. He did not arrive at
Vienna till day or two before the ex-
plosion, and was acquitted by all OF any
possible completely with the irregularities
or malfeasance, charged against others. In
willing to stay, however, to be pointed at
with suspicion, as a member OF the sas-
pended commission, and immensely disgust
ed with the whole business, he resigned and
came home.
In labor-saying machinery and useful ar
ticles, he believes the American department |
will present, after all, highly creditable
show, and one that will be surpassed by
no other nation, though the American dis
pla, will fall far short of what it might and
ought to have been.
Aside from his official annoyances, Mr..
Blodgett had pleasant foreign tour, saw
Berlin, Munich, Dresden, Stuttgart and
other German cities. with Paris and Lon
don, and came home improved in health

We hear Vermonters occasionally praise
the New York Civil Damages law, making
the seller of the liquor responsible in
damages for any injury to persons or pro-
perty in consequence of intoxicatiOn caused
by his rum las if it would be- great improve
ment on our present law But Vermont
has had civil damages law for nearly four
years.
The following is section of an act in
addition to chapter "a of the General Statues,
approved Nov. 9, 1869:
SIC. 3. Whenever any person in state of intoxi
cation shall wilIiully commit any injury upon the
person or property of any other individual any per-
who by himself, his clerk or servant shall have
unlawiuly sold or furnished any part of the liquor
causing such ntOXicatOn shall be liable to the party
injured for all damage occasoned by the injury
done, to be recovered in the form ofacton
such intoxicated person would he liable to; and
both such parties may be joined in the action;
and in Of the death disability of any person
either from the injury received as herein specified
or in consequence Of intoScatiOn from the Of
liquors unlawiully furnished aforesaid, any per
son who shall he in any manner dependent, on such
injured person for means of support or any party
whom such injured person may he dependent, may
recover from the person unlawfuly selling or fur
nishing any such liquor aforesaid, all DANA ge or
loss sustained in consequence of such injury in any
court having jurisdiction such cases and cover
ture or infancy shall he no bar to proceedings for
recovery in any case arising under this act.
Here is the principle of the Ohio and
New York law The latter makes the man
who rents building or shop for the sale of
liquor, Jointly liable for damages; but in
no other important respect is it any i'm
proyement on our own law. Furthermore
unless the new New York law is resorted to
more often than our own, it is of the least
possible consequence what its provisions
are. We can recall but one case of damages
awarded to an individual under our law
quoted above, and but two cases in whi:h
any suit was begun or steps taken toward
the recovery of damages under it. If there
have been others, we think they never came
to our notice, and we presume that nineteen
twentieths Of our readers have forgotten that
such law was ever passed in Vermont.
