The people of Massachusetts, in
their devotion to the cause Of woman,
have manifested, it appears. zeal not
according to knowledge. The city of
Boston and many of the cities and
toWnsinEfhe state have elected wo-
men as members of the School Com
mittees. The City Solicitor of Boston
has been inquired of as to the legality
ofthis action, and has decided that
woman can not legally be members of
a School Committee. The Supreme
judicial Court has decided that Wo-
man can not be legally appointed to
or exercise the duties of Justice of the
Peace, and the City Solicitor says that
the reasons assigned in that decision
are applicable to the School Commit
tee question: If that decision shall
be sustained there will have been
numerous instances of loves labor
lost in7that gallant Commonwealth.

DISPATCHES from Washington rep
resent that there Is strong oppose
ton among the ultra Radicals TO the
confirmation of Caleb Cushing to the
Chiefs Justiceship on political grounds,
he having often declared that the re-
construction measures and the fiif-
feenth amendment were unconstitn-
.tional If, as is asserted, these meas
inres are a finality, fastened upon the
country 80 that no power can disturb
them, the opposition to man of such
transcendent abilities for opinions he
honestly entertained and fearlessly
expressed when these measures were

THE facts in regard to the manner
in which the negros, backed up by
Grants bay onets, haye governed
South Carolina since the war are alb
solutely startling. The taxable prop
erty has been reduced tWo-thirds !!
Ohio men, can you form an idea of
that?a The State tax, which before
the war was but little over half a IniI-
lion of dollars, Is now s., $40, 900. Thus
one-third of the property pays five
times as much tax as it all did in 1860.
The little item of printing now costs
as much as 1t did 70 run the Govern
ment previous to the attack on Fort
Sumter It has swollen from five
Thousand to five hundred thousand
dollars. Is it not about time that
some protection was extended TO the

be allowed TO confscate the property
under the pfetense of taxation Eng.

The rather unexpected declaration
of Congressman Dawes, one of the
most prominent Republican mem bers
in the house last week, that the per-
quisites of the President amounted, to
$50, GOO per year, has caused quite a
stir in administration circles. aud the
general expression is that he sshadn't

damaging facts. But the truth of his
statement has not been denied, as he
is Chairman of The Ways and Means
Committee, and should know all
about the appropriations recommend
ed BY it.
