Several ladies are in successful prac-
tice of the law. Mrs. Hapgood Nash is
the law partner of her husband in
Maine; Phebe Cozzins in st. Louis,
Miss Hewlett, in Illinois, and Mrs.
Lakewood, in Washington, are eaSh
admitted to the bar as regular prscti-
TONERS. Four women in Michigan
University are in the law department.
Dental Colleges in Philadelphia, Balti-
more, and Cincinnati admit women.

Women physicians are more numer-
GUS every year, and are as successful as
men. Indeed women's place in the
medical profession is 80 we'll established
that efforts are being made to give her
access to greater advantages for study,
as matter of necessity.
Training schools for nurses have been
established in Boston and New York.
In New Jersey women have been
made eligible to the effice of school
trustees, and several have been elected.
while in Massachusetts large number
have been elected members of school
committees. The Legislature of New
Hampshire voted that the women of
that State were not competent to vote
on school committees. One is not sur
prised at this, when we know that the
same Legislature passed law giving
any married man, whose wife had beeii
insane twelve months, right to sell
her real estate. The insane married
women of New Hampshire, whose rea-
son is restored after thirteen months,
return to find her property confscated,
and with no power to get it back. Is ii
strange that body of men who could
pass such law should think that women,
were not competent to serve on school
committees?
x * *r
The Circuit Court of the State of
New York, decided, in the case of Miss
Anthony and other women, who claimed.
their right to vote under the Fourteenth
and Fifteenth Amendments, that their
votes were illegal and fine was im-i
posed on. Miss Anthony. Thus the
law holds that to be crime, when done
by woman, which is praiseworthy and
right when done by man. -
Scribner's Monthly, the Churchman
and other conservative publications
have lately attempted to revive the fad.
ing idea of the ownership Of wives by
their husbands. But the great Meth
odist Church has stricken out the word
"obey" from its marriage service, and
all the Protestant sects, except the
Episcopal are fast following the exam
pie. And in many of our States, the
past year has witnessed important mod
ifications of the property laws for wives,
all in the direction of equality. in the
marriage relation. Nowhere has there
been any reverse legislation. The High.
Courts of Hindostan have affirmed the
right of widow to the Independent use
of property inherited from her deceased
husband. Everywhere, spite of DR..
Holland and the ChurcInan, the ten
dency is to equality of rights between
husband and wife, and between man
and women in all relations of life.

IRON MORE VALUABLE THAN GoLD.-It
is commonly supposed that gold is the
most valuable metal. This is mistake,
Iron, if properly manufactured, can be
made more valuable than it is possible
to make any other metal. We see it
stated in leading periodical that .
piece of crude iron costing dollar, if
worked into horseshoes is worth 81;
into tools, 81; iron casting, SAC; sow
ing needles, SIS; table knife blades
S700; steel buckles and buttons 5000;
steel fancy articles $4,000; shirt but

For the CITIZEN



DEAR CITIZEN Our village within
the last few days has put on IA more
tOwn-like appearance than it has ever
worn before. This change is chiefly
due to the fact that j. +. Simmerville
81 Co. have opened a tipping saloon and
family grocery, which makes two hOus-
es OF the kind that are kept here. Be
sides these confectionery is in Gull
running ORDER under the management
of Butler d Wells, cold, who boast of
AN extensive trade. Although two
drinking saloons do not speak well for
the temperance cause with tbs, yet l ven
ture the assertion that we have as few
men who indulge too freely i'm the cover
joyful as can be found in any other
village of its size in the State.
Business generally has been at low
ebb with us this fall, owing, no doubt,
to the low price of our "stple." We
are glad to note, however, that the last
week has brought about better feeling
with all classes in consequence of which
trade has revived. Had the low figures
that cotton was selling at two weeks ago
continued to be the ruling price, there
is no doubt but that many of our best
farmers would have failed To meet their
current expenses for the year, as crops
are found to be much shorter than eX-
pected six weeks ago. Should the price
OF cotton go to 10 cents, the greater pOr-
ton of our people will come out all
right. There are a few, of course, who
never pay out, ii their cotton were to
bring 20 cents.
A difficulty occurred near here on last
Wednesday evening between Green
Naugh, cold, and Park Petty Ia one
armed ncgro,) which would have ended
fatally for the former, had the gun
which the latter used been properly
charged. We learn that they had been
drinking ana hunting together the day
before their difficulty, and, TO all APP
pearances, were warm friends and
right bowers to each other. On the day
of the shooting they started out for an
other hunt, but when i'm the act of
starting dispute sprung up between
them which was continued till Naugh
grew very angry and boisterouS aud
TIN eatcned the use of his gun, where
upon Petty discharged one barrel OF his
gun full in Naugh's left side directly
over the heart, doing him, however, no
harm more than bruising his side and
breaking the skin in one or two places
Petty then set his gun down, as also did
Naugn whose gun was not loaded at all.
Naugh then picked mp an AK and rushed
at Petty, who took to his heels and run
about 800 yards, closely pursued by
Naugh, when the chase was given up as
a hopeless job-for Petty had just be-
gun To make the speed cha acteriStic of
race horse coming in ON the home
stretch.
We have yet TO hear from the washer
woman before we can report the full
extent of the damages done.
Yours truly,
Nov. 9th, 1872.

SusDeDded.

We call the attention of our readers to
the Revenue Law, so far as the same re-
lates to the collection of taxes. This
law is much more stringent than here
tofore, requiring ali taxes for State and
county purposes to be paid within nine
ty days. At the expiration OF that time,
a penalty of ten per cent will be added
on all unpaid taxes. The Collector is
allowed 10 grant indulgence to no one.
After the ninety days, if he fails to col
lect the penalty, he is required to pay
the same himself.
At the expiration of four months, an
other penalty of tel per cent. is added,
making iii all twenty per cent. Then
comes distress warrants, sales and addi-
tiOnal costs.
Taxpayers should not neglect this
matter of seeing the Collector in due
time. Better to make some sacrifice to
meet your taxes than to pay these pen
aities and costs. There is no suspend
ing under the present law.

EB- The Virginius outrage, the prob
able war with Spain and the liberation
and annexation of Cuba, are the allah
sorbing topics throughout the nation.
They have almost OveTshadOwed the
commercial panic. Preparations are
being made by the Government for any
emergency. Old Iron-clads are being
overhauled, and the entire navy placed
upon a war footing, in anticipation Of
prompt and decisive action on the part
of Congress. Grant sees an opportunity
here to redeem some of his lost prestige
and popularity, and will doubtless avail
himself of it. If he can overshadow
the financial plumbers which led to the
late disasters, and restore his admins
tration to popularity with the people, it
matters but little to him about the cost.
What is a hundred or two millions OF
the peoples money to him, compared
with his lost prestige?

AtOnement and Indemnity.

1t is quite plain, even on the meager
information now in the possession of the
public touching the outrage upon our
flag by the Spanish naval forces, that it
is not an offense for which either expla-
nation or apology can suffice. We must
have, in Cuba, government that can
itself guarantee order and justice. The
Spanish Government cannot do this. 1t
has shown its incapaeity in the most
convincing way. There is no reason to
suppose that what it cannot do now it
will be any better able to do in the flu
ture. On general grounds, therefore, IL
may reasonably be asked to surrender
an office the duties of which it cannot
perform in Il way to protect the rights
of other governments. But, il object
ion is made, it must be remembered
that the Spanish Government has given
this Government ofiense which is ample
cause for war. 1t is for the United
States, not for Spain, to say how that
cause of war may be removed.

The Crisis i'm England.

We by no means consider that Eng
land has seen the worst of the financial
difficulties which are the necessary CON
sequences Of Che curtailment of her eN-
port trade and the deficiencies of her
harvests, complicated as these troubles
are with an unusually disturbed condi-
ton Of the money markets of the world.
We have lately had Irresistible confirm
alton of the truth that the interests of
nations united by commerce are idcuti-
cal. Commerce is league of strong
er kind than diplematists ever made for
the purposes of war. The prices of our
most important products, such rs grain
aud cotton, are supported by the English
markets. They would have tumblcd
much lower than they have done were it
not for the foreign markets, and the
same is true Of our securities, pLrticu-
iarly OF United States bonds. Ii Is,
therefore, matter for sincere gratitica-
ton that the foundations Of English
credit are still TO all appearances secure.
And our wish is that they may contin-
uc 10 defy the storms as long and as
proudly rs the ellis of Dover.

Keturning BusIness Commence


There is better tCne in trade, and
probably the worst effects of the panic
upon trade and manufactures have
been suffered. The freer movement of
domestic staples, although at low prices,
has enabled collections TO be made To
some extent, and importers, taking adj
vantage OF the current low rates of eN-
change, which in u measure compcnsa-
ted for losses in other branches of their
business, have been liberal buyers, as
means OF making remittanceS to their
creditors in Europe. This action natur-
ally had reaSsuring effect, and by con-
tributiug TO some reaction in cotton,
hrca, stuils and provisions, impaired
degree OF confidence and spirit TO the
market. IL Congress shall be content
with the revival of trade, and not at
tempt to inaugurate another period of
imitation and reckless speculation to be
followed by even greater disaster, the
latent energies Of our people and their
real wealth will soon re-eStablish the
business of the country; but with inca
pables In charge Of the public finances,
and reckless, jobbipg, Radical Con-
gress unkering trade for the next six or
eight months, mercantile safety must
continue 10 lie in prudence and
strength.
