tional government, in town, village and
county affairs, and in the support of free
schools. We do not desire a system of
taxation based upon an equal and exact
representation, because we do not wish to
change our republican, democratic institu-
tons for an aristocracy. We do not mean
to say that there should not be some kind
of representation for taxation. We have
only cndcavorcd to show that there could
not, from the very nature of our institu-
tons, be any such thing as taxation based
upon a perfect representation. We have
not touched upon the right or wrong of the
question, but have taken the laws and facts
as they exist, and have argued therefrom
that the "Smith sisters" have not suffered
greater hardships than are daily being
endured by thousands of others all over the
country
But is it right to impose taxes without
some kind of eprcsentation-thati is with
out the right to vote thereon? This ques-
ton is easily answered. 1t is not right, it
is not in accordance with the genius of our
institutions, and is directly in opposition to
one Of the great moving causes which led
to the Declaration of Independence. There
must. however, be an exception to this in
the case of minor children A certain age
must be fixed before which Il person can
not vote 1t would be ridiculous and alb
surd to allow children of six or eight years
old to vote, even, if they were owners of
property upon which they pay taxes.
There is law in Ncrmont-we do not
know how it is in other states which pro-
yidcs poll tax upon every male resident
Of the state over twenty-one years old.
Until within a few years, these persons
upon all questions relating to taxes. A
law has since been passed by which an in
divdual not citizen of the state that is
not a legal yotcr-cannot take part in
school district, town or village affairs, or
vote in reference TO taxation, no matter
how large tax he may pay and all of
them, over twcnty-onc years old, are taxed
as Of two hundred dollars worth of prop
crIy. and also, in addition for the property
they POSSESS. This is taxation without re-
presentation. is all wrong and should be
rightcd. So, without going into the gene
raj question of woman suffrage, we believe
that widows and other females, of pro.
per age, owning property and paying taxes
thereon, should have the right and priv
ilege of voting upon matters of taxation.
The day is not far distant when this. at
least, will be conceded. 1t ought to have
had its origin in republican, democratic
America, but England has, already,
'got the start of us, and granted this priv
ilegc to all women who are placed on the
rate bill'-that is who pay taxes. The
reform thus having commenced, and this
concession made, it will continue to spread
until the principle is established through
out this country. This will be the enter
ing wedge-and what then?

TEL, DUEG.LO.

Since the notorious Richmond duel, be-
tween w. Page McCarty and John b. Nor
decia, in which the latter was killed. the
custom of duelling seems TO have revived
at the south By the laws of Virginia, the
killing OF another in duel is made murder
in the first degree. Under this statute, Nc.
Carly was indicted for murder and the con-
clusion of the trial was reached Saturday.
The verdict of the jury was involuntary
manslaughter," and the murderer was fined
five hundred dollars. Was there ever such
a travcsty of justice? What will be the
result in Virginia and, perhaps, throughout
the whole south ? Here are two men who
have quarrel, no matter what ii is about,
and through the urging of pretended
friends, a challenge to fight a duel passes
from one to the other. Real friends inter
terc and attempt to stop the meeting but
without avail, because Of the snecrs of
"A so called aristocracy and chiyalry, and
urged on, too, we regret TO say, BY young
ladies who profess to he respectable. They
meet, each armed with rcyolvcrs, and each
determined to take the life of the other.
Even without statute making il murder
in the first degree TO kill another in Il duel,
are rot the facts and circumstances Of this
duel, rs well rs OF every other where one
of the parties is killed, sufficient to insure
II conviction Of prcmcdilatcl murder
McCarty, armed with a revolver, takes de-
lOcratc aim AT Mordccia intends to kill
him, fires with that intent, and does actu-
ally Kill him, yet Il Richmond jury pro-
uuunccs it 'nr0,nHt1y manslaughter a"
How can that be ''inyoluntary' which is
voluntary, deliberate and intentional; The
Richmond jury having established the pre-
oeAent, there is too much reason to fear
that il will be followed throughout the
south Already. we are informed. another
duel is on the tapis-bctwecn Jefferson
Davis and Henry s. Footc. There has
been, for years, n feud between them,
which, it is said, ii to he settled at the ps-
tolls mouth. The principle Of the matter
aside, We doubt if the people of the whole
country would much regret to see these
two men engaged in mortal combat, If the
survivor was sure Of punishment in accor-
dance with the laws OF the land, But this
consideration has no weight. The princi-
Pile is the same no matter how obnoxious
the parties may be. Dueling was only
prevented in Great Britain by the trial,
conviction and hanging of the survivor,
We need the same lesson in this country,
unless we are to relapse into barbarism.
