 We congratulate Senator Carpenter on. his late vote in favor of woman's suffrage, and the brief and emphatic speech by which he justifies it. He has thus reliev- ed himself of the suspicion of always go- ing for the winning side. Female suf- frage is not popular; there is too much justice and good sense in it to commend it to the many headed; but it will ulti- mately triumph, and that at no distant day; and then we hope the women will remember the gallant gentleman who es- poused their cause when he could gain nothing by it. The amendments was to give women the right of suffrage in the territories-was voted down by a small majority, in spite of Carpenters eloquent advocacy, amid uproar and merriment. These rude fellows have very poor op1n- ion of their mothers, wives and sisters. They may treat woman's suffrage as a Joke, but we can assure them that when it e&ecomes the law 1t will be grave joke to them. When feminine intuition is brought to bear on candidates, we shall havea better breed of congressmen.- F0sa du Lac, (Wis..) ConanaoaaaOealth.
