SENATOR OGLEsBY in his speech in
Connecticut told the people that al
though he had given some time to the
study Of political economy, finance, etc.,
he didn't know any thing about it, and a
number of the papers are making fun OF
the Senator for this admission; but the
Chicago Post and Nail comes to his
relief with the following quotation from
Daniel Webster
For my part, though like investi-
CATION of political questions, l give up
what is called the Science of Political
Economy" There is no such science.
There are no rules on the subject SO

IMMIGRATION.

In view of the fact of tie interference
of foreign governments, and the decrease
in immigration arising from depression
in business the New York Herald opposes
the policy of entering into a discussion
with the Board of Emigration. The
Herald thinks it would be wise for the
Governmental the State of New York
to take hold OF the emigration question
and have it conducted upon scientific
principles. 1t cites the plan of emf
grafton established by the Mormons as
the best in the world. 1t says:
"By the operations of Brigham Young
Mormon proselyte is taken from his
Welsh or English home. caught up in
the arms of the church and safely depos-
tied in Utah-his way protected, his
course clearly marked and every comfort
that can be given to a traveller bestowed
upon him. But by our system of en-
igration the practical effect has been that
in thousands of casee emigrants who
come to America to unite their fortunes
VIII ours LiiIOuSH CitiH8Hs"F GAY "'oP
ped into New York, plundered by run:
ners and ticket swindlers, and allowed
to find their way as best they can where
they NAV. Now, instead of wrangling
over head money and the fear of officers,
and twenty other tritling questions that
every day come bubbling up to us from
Castle Garden that have no possible i'm
portance to the emigrant, why should
not this whole system be reorganized :!
Emigration is, after all, national mat
ter, and to us there is no question: more
important. We think the time has come
for our State or national authorities to
take hold of this question, to do away
with the scandals and give us system
worthy of the subject and worthy of a
free and generous country"

Phonetic Congress.

The Gazette of January l, 1873 con-
tanned short editorial, suggesting that
a Phonetic Congress be held at Phila-
delphia, next year, during the time of
our Worlds fair. As but very few of
our exchanges noticed the suggestion,
and none of them, so far as we observed
copied the article, We renew the sug-
gestion, and respectfully but urgently
ask it as favor Of our exchanges, and
all newspapers "to whom these presents
shall come" that they either copy this
article, or say in their papers that at is
proposed to hold in Philadelphia, at the
same time with the Worlds Fair, next
year, commencing on the 10th of May.
a Phonetic Congress, or convention OF
all those who favor spelling the English
language as nearly as possible as it IS
pronounced.
We do not propose, at this time to 60
into any argument to prove that the Or
biography of the English language is
glaringly inconsistent with its OrthOepy,
and that for this reason it is exceedingly
difficult for a child or a foreigner to
acquire a tolerable knowledge of the
language. This everybody who has CIV
en- the subject moments attention
knows. Even those who have never
thought seriously of the matter before,
as they visit the spelling schools now
being held all over the country, and see
what poor work ministers and lawyers
and doctors and college professors make
of spelling words in everyday use, will
be convinced that it is time something
was done to simplify our written Ian
guage.
We call upon all the friends of Ian
guage reform throaght the country, to
agitate the matter through the press, by
lectures, and by private conversations on
all suitable occasions. And we especial
" urge upon the friends of the cause in
Philadelphia, New York, Boston, and
other eastern cities, that they take the
subject into consideration Immediately,
call local conventions, appoint commit.
tees tn call state and national conven-
tons if necessary during the coming
summer, fall or winter, and organize a
central executive committee with head
quarters in Philadelphia, whose duty it
shall he to put things in train to ascer-
tain who the friends of phonetic reform
through the English speaking world are,
and see that they are duly notified to
appear by themselves or their represen-
tatives in the proposed congress.
This is a reform freighted with more
good to mankind, because calculated to
do more to enlighten the world. than any
other that has claimed the public atten-
ton since the invention of the art OF
printing. Let the friends OF human
progress do all in their power to speed it
on to a glorious success yandotte Ga

The Supreme Court OF the United
States has decided that the Fourteenth
Amendment does not confer the right of
suffrage upon women. 1t has been
claimed that the clause providing that
"No State shall make or enforce any law
(which shall abridge the privileges or
immunities of citizens of the United
Z" States" entitled women to q vote, but
the Supreme Court has decided other
wise. According to this decision, mere
citizenship does not carry the franchise
with it, and the permission to vote Is
not right, but privilege.
