Unrestricted Suffrage.

To TIE EVENING STAR:-what is the oues-
ton be'Ore the bOU-e? To me the whole sub
ject seems tOgsy.
Is it suffrage or no suhfageR This subject is
ss old as Rome, and he's been cpssed and dis
cusCed al HdUseum.
The ts1atiOn and representation principle
was pretty fhoTou ghly ventilated about a hun
dred years ago. As Americ IN citizens we occu-
by the Pc sition day We did then; and II free.
holders assert Their right TO the ballot, be it.
But the clemor seems to be iOr HRreSrl tcted
suffrage. The term is misty. Is it intended II
inclu0e the whole population-men, women and
children! Does 1t include men and women over
a certain age? Why exclude intelligent women
and irclude ignorant men? Why include men
in their second childhood and exclude those IN
their fist?
But wtst is all the noise about? Oh. we are
told. the people claim the exercise of their in
allenable .yilege, go dear to sil freeme"-the
right of suffrage.
Well, why moi? Let our Commissioners an
Propriate twenty thousand dollars for putting
into me- ton al the beautiful machinery Of regis
uation, (see act OF legislative Assembly u H.
quidate expenses of registration aud eiC ction
appropriating SIS sos IS therefor, approved Au.
gust Il, hi, y you can see the items of ex-
penses; ii is pleasant reading for ia xpayers) lei
the city be thrown annually into a regular eIec-
tion turmoil, with all its accompaniments =
conducive to T0rals; let US have the primary
meetings, the midnight carousals OF pot-hOuse
politicians, and then on the day appointed take
our stand in line and exercise the freeman's
right to vote. For whh? Fer delegate 70 Con
gress 'cho has no rOte otter he gets there! Have
we not had enough OF this farce? Will Con-
gress again subject Us to this humiliation? God
forbid.
l know it is common to decry the honesty,
intelligence and patriotism of Congress. 1t NAV
be obnoxious TO criticism; yet, Judging from
those have met, am inclined to the opinion
that rue average wisdom OF that body will COM
pare favorably with the average intelligence OF
the voters Of the District IL unrestTcted suffrage
wes pTact.ced. The edyantaye in NV onirjon
would be on the side Of Congress.

MAeHiNGTON, December - 4. 1874.
Editor - ne ECsRiHg Star.-Sir: As A s.hooi
teacher Of girls, ana, II you Nill permit the
expression, 80 lover OF my kind hesrtily
support the excellent ideas thrown out by yo1r
correspondent, "Semi-O OCCASIONAL, !" IN reference
p girls being taught 10 school how 70 a. ~ snd
that material be supplied them bV the SeBsvo-
lent-cisposed 10 make into suitable clothing for
!. hne oeseI Sug poor oi me city rhst the plan
INTO enect, VIII endeSEor 70 Illus rae
fnsty. Long experience IN my profession has
convinced me that the teaching OF sewing 10 ths
glrls 10 our schools Is an absolute necessity and
OF much more importance than some 81 the
studies upon which undue yAlue A. sst Fhs
knoHleSge of bow to sew is o. great q necessity
70 aiEI ss bow 70 SPELL the ignorance OF
one isss mortifyiDg as the sbseuce OF knowleass
OF the other Osly a few days sgo the cheek o(
one OF my pupils was msuteled with a blush
because she had to confess, poor child, that she
knew not bow 20 do q trining biz of seginz
demanded by immediate and urgent necessity.
ana abe is but sample OF hundreds OF other
girls otherwise well informed and Proficient i'm
al their studies, and who are misersbly Ignorant
Of how 10 handle needle; who do not know
how TO sew on button Is this ss Il should beP
Most assuredly not. Some wall say, " there are
a great many things girls should know that
cannot be taught in school" Most sssuredly
there are, but that "a no reason why they should
not rave the opportunity TO learn some things
not found in nbooks-pre-eminentiy sepinq-that
is an absolute necessity, and which, In nine
cases out OF ten, they cannot learn to do a.
home, because their mothers time is occupied
opportunity, her daughter mas 10 ssget" her les
sons for the morrow, and 90 it goes that the
child grows up without knowing how 20 helD
herself OF Others In this important particular.
In my humble judgment, short time during
each school session could be devoted 70 sewing
by certain grades Of pupils, without injury in
the least TO the regular course Of studies ss nov
prescribed, and which would 70 far 70 remedy
the difficulty have attempted 70 portray and
which every woman 4 am sure will agree with
me should be remedied; and this can be done n
the trustees Of our public schools viIl only say
the word. Many, II not all Of my fellow female
teachers VIII, am sure, second their efforts
most willingly, ana % bring about an improved
condition OF affairs that will prove as advan-
tsgeous as IL certainly will be agreeable 20 all
concerned.
Secondly. What sn inoalculsble amount OF
good teacher and pupil can tn US accomplish
Messrs. Trustees, please do let us give this ex-
pertinent q fair trial, and know ne shall sue

sill thus be benefited, but the Thousands OF
school children under your fostering care twill
rise up and call you blessed" Very respect
