Woman Suffrage.

The United States Supreme Court has
rendered a decision on the Woman Suf-
lage question, adverse to the claims of fe-
lnaies to the right to vote under the Four
tceuth Amendment TO the constitution. The
case arose in Missouri. where Mrs. Nir-
gina /. Minor claimed that since the adop-
tiou OF the Fourteenth Amendment wom-
al who i a citizen of the United States
and Of the State of Missouri is voter in
that state, notwithstanding the provision
uf The constitution and laws of the State
which couiinc the right of suffrage TO men
asone. The decision was unanimous. The
opinion Of the court was delivered by Chief
Justice Waite. The decision is that the
constitution of the United States does not
confer suffrage upon any one, that being
len for The States 10 do. Consequently
women must look TO the States for the
ii-ht To vote in election. In closing their
opinion the court says:
"Ccrtainly il the courts car consider any

years the people have acted upon the idea thst

From the Bankers Magazine Tor October.

An old crime, one cOmmite forty
years ago, has just been brought back u
the reccollection OF the people Of Vermont
by singular discovery, showing at once
the innocence Of the man who suffered for
it and the guilt OF another party. Some
forty years since. the story goes. Thomas
Emerson, president Of the old Winsor
Bank. was suspected Of r,bbing the bank
about so 600, the loss Of which caused the
institution to fail. He was tried and found
guilty and was confined in Windsor jail for
many years. On Thursday last Is CT.
Harlow was removing an old brick oven
in his house, which was formerly occupi-
ed by the cashier. Kittridge. he discovered
somewhere between forty aud fifty thou
sand dollars Of the missing money in q
brick vault under the oven. The people Of
Windsor now belive the cashier took the
money instead Of Emerson. who, though
an innocent man. had To suffer unjustiy
tor another's crime. Both Emerson and
Kittridge died several years since. There
is the materisl for q novel 10 this story of
wrong.

thar there have been large number Of APP
plicatiOns for space at the Centennial from
parties in the State, and the prospect now
is that Names showing there will be very
extensive and creditable, also,to the State.
Mr. Gilbert. acting on behalf of the Maine
Board of A Agriculture. will be able to show
nearly all the cereals and grasses of the
State. and perhaps something Of the woods.
Application for space for this display will
go forward this week. The site and
granite Quarries will be well represented.
and the exhibition of mill products will be
very extensive, the Lewiston mills having
made application for about 1900 feet of
space. So the work goes on.
