dressed the Legislature, and the 20
600 women whom they represented,
| had on the members of that body, is
| plainly seen IN the passage of the IL
censo law over the protest of these
women Heretofore it has been said
that it was woman peculiar province
to PETITIoN-to PLEAD with men to
do right, and We have been taught to
believe thai our prayers and petitions
i would be respected: and many of US
have lailorcd year after year with that
confidence that at last these means of
entreaty would prevail-that the great
heart Of the people would be reached
by this strong moral influence that
in it elf is 4 POWER that our law max
ers are bound to respect. And, per-
haps, at no preceding session of the
Legislature has the sentiment and
heart OF the women of the State, on
! the temperance question, been so fully
brought before them as the one that
has just closed. This was not an Ell
fort of the Crusader" alone as such;
but we are glad 10 know that women
al every temperance organization. and
those not members of any society,
signed these petitions honestly beliey
ing that their silent voice of prayer
would be heard, and in the way that
popular opinion has marked out for
women, they could effect the legisla-
ton OF The State in favor Of truth and
sobriety.
But so far as action in favor of a
temperance law was concerned, their
opportunities and prayers were treat
ed with the utmost indifference. In
the debates on the passage of the law,
reference was scarcely ever made to
the voice of these 0,O0O women of the
State although In great many In-
stances. they were themselves the SUIT
fcrers in their own families from the
evils against which they demonstrated.
Their own hearts had been made des-
olate by the destroyer, and, in tones
of earnest, heartfelt entreaty, they
besought the men who had the power
TO make the laws, to protect them--to
save their loved ones from falling the
tempter's prey: but they did not do it,
They left the food, gates of iniquity
wide open to overwhelm, enpulf and
utterly destroy the victims OF the Ii
quor traffic.
Now let US look at this matter from
another standpoint; and a very few
words will be sufficient. Surprising
each of these 10000 women had held
a ballot in her hand and thus combin-
cd political with her strong. moral,
and religious power, would these leg
isiators have s.igmatized them as
merely women and children, and as
such had no influence that, as legisla-
tors, they were bound to respect? We
are Informed by one Of the honest,
true men OF the Legislature, that it is
to be seen palmer than ever that wo
man suffrage is demanded alike l'y the
moral and political necessities OF the
times, and the labors of the past year,
with its results, show clearer than
ever before that we cannot get law
that will protect the true interest of
the family in regard to the sale of in
toxicating liquors as a beverage, until
the wives and mothers of these I'M
fortunate victims are allowed a voice
in making the laws that the law max
ers are bound to respect

Crazy Gold Hun terS.

A Port Jarvis correspondent OF
The New York Sun writes:
Joseph Pilfo ID is an old French
man living in the town of Shanda
kin, Ulster county, near the Greene
i! county line. He and his wife are
both monoman q IS on the subjt ct of
minerals and mines. They believe
that the mountain at their farm
contains a valuable mine Of some
kind All that is necessary to de
monstrate the truth of their be
lief is. they say, to dig far enough
into the mountain. For fifteen
years the industrious old French.
man has been digging and blasting
every day, seeking the treasure.
He says lie don't know what the
| nature of the ore is that he is
working to uncover, but his faith
in the existence Of something in
the mountain that is some day to
make his fortune cannot be shaken.
Once he thought he had uncov
cred a silver mine. Analysis of
/ specimens failing to detect any
evidence of that ore, he went to
work again. He next announced
that he had struck heavy vein of
pure copper, and was nearly wild
with excite rent until his discovery
was pronounced worthless.
He is now certain that he is
drawing near deposit of gold, OF
coal, but which he cannot tell. He
has excavated hole through rock
one hundred and twenty seven feet
deep, and reached depth Of one
hundred feet Surface water re
tarded his work very much at first.
but at the depth of ninety eight
feet he struck seams and assures
through which the water escapes.
This singular minor works regu
larly and Systematically. -Four
times day, at regular intervals,
be fires blast in his mine. The
noise of these blasts can be heard
for three miles, although SO deep
in the earth.
Madame Pilford is no less en-
thusiastic over the prospect than
her husband. She says she would
not sell her interest in the mine for
$4,000

| COMMENTING on the political stu
alton and the possibility of a new
political party, The New Yorl
Evening Post says:
For ourselves, we think that
the country is safer in the hands
of the Republican party than il
would be in the hands Of the Demo
cratic party, measuring each OF
them by the standard of principle
I and duty which it manifests. Last
November, the people, weary of the
mistakes OF the Republicans,
turned to the Democratic party
and asked if i. would give the
United States better policy.
There has been no answer. Dis
mayed by the silence, they turn
| again to the Republicans and seek
to learn whether they have been
chastened by misfortune. If this
final question shall be answered in
the negative, the new party will be-
come possible, but not otherwise.
It is the duty of every earnest Re
publican to exert himself to give an
affirmative reply"
All talk OF organizing a third
party on a new party with any hope
OF controlling or beneficially affect
ing the next Presidential election
is simply ridiculous. Whatever
might have been thought of the
feasibility of such a plan two years
or even one year ago, recent events
have proven its utter impracticabil
ity The contest of 1876 will be
between the Republican and Demo
cratic parties, simply and squarely.
The Democratic party was never
better organized or in better disci
pine, and is not without strong
hopes of victory. It is in no mood
for compromises of any kind, and
will not bulge a hairs breadth
from the line OF battle it has as
sumed. Democrats have kept up
their organization too long through
adversely and defeat, and believe
themselves too near success now to
entertain the idea of abandoning it
or of relinq,lishing the least frac
ton of their party claims. They
are figuring for regular oldfash
toned, Bourbon, Confederate,
Democratic victory, and will steer
clear of all entangling alliances in
the shape of new party movements.
The next President will be either
the Republican or the Democratic
candidate, and any person silly
enough to follow off after an indie
pendent or third party movement
will simply have the satisfaction of
discovering that he has thrown
away his time and vote.-Ind. Jour
nal.

A funny joke, and all the more
palatable as its truth can be
vouched for, says New Jersey
paper, occurred a. prominent
church in that State It seems that
a worthy deacon had been indus
trious In selling new church book
costing seventy five cents. At the
service in question the minister,
just before dislnissing the congre
cation, rose and said: GAIL We
who have children to baptize will
pleas so present them next Sab
bath. The deacon, who by the way
was a little deaf, having an eye on
selling the books, and surprising
the pastor was referring to them,
Immediately jumped up and shout
ed: "All who haven't can get as
many as you want by calling on
me, at seventy five cents each
