TON AT MADIsC Nam ELOQUENT AND
PATRIOTIC SPEECH.
Hon. Matt. e.. Carpenter arrived at
Madison last Thursday afternoon AND
met WITH an enthusiastic and gratifying
reception. In expectation of his arrival
on the four o'clock rain large number
had collected at the Park Hotel to see
him. He was escorted by a committee
from The depot to the Hotel and went
directly to his room. He was waited
upon by committee and informed that
his friends wanted to see him. He soon
appeared and was loudly and eEthusias-
ticaly cheered. When order was re-
stored the Senator delivered az eloquent
and patriotic speech, in substance, as fol-
lows:
My FRIENDS: am happy to meet
you here this evening. I see around me
the faces Of those who have stood by
me IL trials ard storms, and / recognize
you as the true friends of the Republican
party, men who have steadied its ark
amid commissions and revolutions. Speak
ing to you as friends, it would be use
less for me TO deny that I should be
proud OF a reelection to the Senate
Proud of it as An evidence that the peo-
pie attributed my mistakes to political
inexperience and not to badness of heart
Proud of it as a rebuke to the lion-like
sanderers who contest my path, and
The ours who have howled behind nav
back.
Butt there is one thing far more lmpor-
tant than my reelection. That is, that
this contest, il contest there must be.

little bitterness of feeling as possible

all things be done with forbearance.

FIsK's FUNDS VANISHED. An Invent
ory Just made of The jim Fisk estate,
which ct the time of his killing was
reckoneG at millions, shows that, with
all claims paid ard suits settled, 1t is
$178500 worse than nothing The in
ventory put it originally at $1,000, coo
Half million paid out in the settlement
of claims. The worthless stock fund in
his possession aggregates $3.50 600 at par
value. His widows legal expenses have
been enormous, and only tie lawyers in
the case appear to have got anything out
of the dead mans pockets. His jcwelry
was valued at 5000. The legscieA to
his father and mother, and the Misses
Noise and Mrs. Hooker, his sister, have
been paid in part. Only $4,000 went IN
horse flesh, single horse, too. SIX hum
dred thousand dollars are tied up in law
suits. His mistress Josie Mansfield, sues
for $50, 900, and has just recovered $50, :
900. and hopes she may get it. Albert
Spreyers, the broker whom Fisk on Black
Friday, left as isk put it, "to carry out
bis corpse" sue@ for $500. 900, which he
bought in for Fisk's account, end went
crazy ebout it when the margin was not
forthcoming. In short, the great estate
has "gone where the woodbine twineth."

THE WOMEN,

1HE WOMENs
WHAT THEY THINK THEY HAVE GAINRD-NoT
IN THE LEAST DISCOURAGED.
From the time, still fresh in the minds of
niddle-sged persons. when there was no
rcmunerative occupations open to women,
when there was NO high school for girls
no college that would admit women when
women lecturers, lawyers, doctors, editors
and ministers were unknown, up to this
time. when all these things and many others
are free to women, the gain seems marvel
Gus. But the gain in legal rights Is even
greater.
It Is now thirty years since married Wo.
ran could not OVID money. even when she
had earned it by hard work. She could not
make will of any property she possessed.
She gave birth to child, and the law said
it was not hers. She could not make q
contract. She could not make a valid deed
of the land she owned She could not be
the guardian Of children-pot even of her
own. She had only the paupers' right, viz E:
the right to be maintained. All the hard
work of her hands and all The income from
her 5r ain belonged to the husband, who
owned, and was supposed to support her.
To-day wife can legally earn and own,
can buy and sell and will, can make valid
deed, can be guardian of children, and at
the marriage ceremony is not necessarily
required to promise to obey.
To Wyoming and Utah Territories women
are voters. In Michigan more than forty
thousand men al the polls cast their vote
for Wowan Suffrage. In many States wo-
men are legally elected and do serve on the
School Board Iowa has taken the Hrst
legal step to secure suffrage for women.
Three Judges of the Supreme Court In
Maine express the opinion that women may
legally serve as Justices of the Peace in that
State. In Congress. and in every Northern
State Legislature, the equal political rights
of women, are discussed,
Thus from the smallest Of all beginnings
through three decades, has the good cause
Oh w OLuhuS hiRubo SIOWu AAbO paw ~AS
power. Now 1t Only waits to be crowned
with Woman Suffrage.
To this end societies exist in every North
ern State, supplemented by county and
town societies.. by political clubs, pledged
20 secure the election of Legislatures OF
sucl men as will vote for the enfianchlse-
ment of women
An army OF women are leag1ed together
in solemn covenant to secure their rights
to voice in making the laws which they
are required to obey. The time cannot DC
far away when this will be accomplished.
As an incentive to activity, it should
never for 8 moment be forgotten that in the
different States the law mskes women the
political equals of paupers, idiots. lunatics,
felons of men guilty OF bribery, forgery
illegal voting, dueling, treason, and any
other crime or weakness which units men
to be trusted with the rights of citizenship.
This picture of gain and loss closes the
year 1874. May next the one end with bright
er color.

paign Of 1878. Let us not, then, by
local differences, by individual consen-
tions, or internal strife, frittcr away
that proud position. Individuals are
nothing, the party everything men are
Aothlng, measures everything. Espec-
tally Is it important that the great Re-
publican party should to-day present an
undivi1 led front to al opposition. The
condition of the South is such that the
welfare OF our party on whom God has
laid he responsibility of reconstructing
the South, is the welfare OF cur country.
In Louisiana to-day, such condition OF
things exists, that the accidental firing of
pistol might bring on an iodsorimi
nate massacre TIE three amendmu nts
OF the coastitution crystalizing the fruits
OF the war, can only be enforced by
legislation. The accession TO power Of
the Democratic party to-day would re-
suit in the repeal of all laws now in ex-
istence for that purpose, and practically
repeal those amendments. The rights OF
co'cred people in the South-ftur mil

and his election produced many good

Again, my friends let me thank you
for this kind reception. In this stormy
life there is little worth remembering
but friendships And I feel Tonight
that any one who, after years of SANDER
ing and abuse by an oppositian-misnam-
ed an independent press-who can stand
in the capital of his own State, surround

heads on them, is rather to be congratu .

The speech was received with applause
and then rush was made for the Sena

continued to call on him even after he
had gone to his room and to late hour.

the state prison, located at the capital of
the state, and no militia being at hand, aid
was requested Of and dispatched by Gene

whether the forming Of one regiment of
volunteer militia, and. placing our sole re-
lance upon them. answers these constitu-
tlonal requirements. Until within COM
paratiyely recent period, the militia of YER
mont was composed of all her able bodied
citizens, within certain ages, and they
were compelled to possess suitable arms
and be drilled at given times. Our citizens,
as we'll OF this state as Of others, had O rea-
sonable dread of standing armies--haye we
not the same cause to-day and placed
their sole reliance upon the militia. They
did excellent service too. When the en-

of the United States, was called upon 10

nobly discharged. When a revolt oc-

company of militia were promptly on the
spot and tho rebellion was quclled without
the firing of gun. II may seem strange
