it is simply a question Of time. and must
come. In 1850 there was cast $50 votes on
the subject of negro suffrage, and only one
man voted for it; and he was so ashafI ed
of his position that he will not acknowledg &c
that he voted as he did to this day. Had
the State been canvassed. az it should have
been, the affirmative vote would have been
much larger. The friends Of woman sui.
frage have not been inactive. bu, they
failed to confine their attentio to Michi.
gan, where the first trial was to be
made. Being present at the polls all
day We were able to see how the
voting was done. There were three
distinct ballots-the general ticket. con.
tanning the State and county officers, the
woman suffrage ballot. and the ballot
on constitutional amendments. The last
proposed an amendment on the old cons.i'
tuition, but, not having been sufficiently ex'
planned to the people. were voted down.
The ignorant and the vicious, as we'll as the
foreign element, voted mo" to both woman
suffrage and the constitutional amendments,
while by no means all the intelligent voted
for them.
The tables of the ladies were we'll patron.
ICED by both parties. and there were not a
few cases where voters refreshed themselves
several times at the ladies' expense and
then voted against them. Among the ladies
there is a general feeling OF satisfaction at
the result. It was new work for them. and
they were net altogether at home in it. An
other time both they and the voters will be
better prepared.

election day one Of the lower offices at the

with evergreens and hung with pictures.
Coffee. cold meat. and other refreshments

One column day is fair average on the
New York press for an editorial writer, and
this could be written in few hours; while
three articles per week is the usual stint for
the leader writers on the London Times.
Horace Greeley's literary labors, vast as
they were. did not occupy many hours, and
much of his time was consumed in seeing
visitors, reading and travelling; and even
then he died of OyerwOrk. as did Henry J
Raymond, though he too always took long
periods of rest after his spasms of severe
work. Samuel Bowles. by the aid OF
stenographer, gets a full days stin. Of edi-
torial writing and correspondence in few

from about zen 10 five o'clock. while much Of
this time is given to receiving visitors and

A Missouri Slave Set Free.

A few days since black man. resident
of this city. had occasion to visit a certain
part of Ray county, in this State. and while
there IN search OF work chance threw in his
way the opportunity to aid in the escape Of
slave to whom the sweet words of free.
dom had never been spoken. But. on the
contrary, he had ever been made to believe
that he was still the property of his master
and was compelled still to work unceaslng.
" from morning till night with the lash as
his reward for stopping a moment to rest.
The furnished details of this case may not
be undressing and serve to show that,
though eight years have passed since all
slaves in Missouri were declared at liberty,
there still exists, IN certain obscure portions
OF the State. the same rig id discipline
added to the same system of slavery that
has long since been declared a crime and
violation of the laws of the government.
Five years ago there lived in Boone
county Mrs. -, a lady of means, who
owned at the close Of the war large mum.

OF them by law. she bound One-a boy of

she was free to do, but as the boy. by law,
In no way belonged to her, she had no right
to give or sell him away. But she did SO,
and about three years since Mr.. re-.
moved to Ray county, bringing the boy
with him. Here, though but a child, he
was at once placed at hard labor on large
farm, and made ever to believe that IN
every sense of the word he was slave.
Becoming acquainted with the colored
man from this city, he was soon informed to
the contrary, and at once resolved 10 free
himself Of the detestfnl rule. After TWO
days hiding in the vicinity, he was enabled
to escape. and with the assistance of his
fescuer. reached this city few DAYS since
IN safety. When he arrived here he was
almost naked, and but for the kind assist.

Tor the earning of his own iivlihood. He

article is not written for the purpose of ask.

that even as far North as Missouri, there is

progress which temperance reform has
made In the past halt century aud the out
lawry of the traffic. We have declared as
a people that rum traffic is Illegal. and.
following our example, more than three
iourths oil the State have pronounced in
some way against the sale of liquor; and

reputable business. Prohibition has be-
come the settled policy OF the State, and
no one will undertake to change il. Pub
lie sentiment says that the law shall be en-
forced. The people are coming up to this
point more and more. After two hundred
wears OF license, the community has settled
down into the conviction that to license
such traffic is evil and nothing but evil
lie called attention to the Importance of
public meetings in elevating the sentiment
ot the people. the education of the children
into the principles of total alb finance. and
that the pulpit should raise its voice, and

jcct.
