THE SUPREME COURT on SUFFRAGE.


The recent decision of the Supreme
Court effirms that women are citizens,
but not on that account voters, referring
the whole matter to the State Legisla-
lures. OF course, then, men being citi-
zens, are not therefore voters. So this
point is settled according to the above
decision, that the right to vote is not
founded upon citizenship. On what
then is it founded? 1t must be based
on something. Let us 60 back little
and see il We can discover on what it
rests. Says one, suffrage is conferred
by the several State Legislatures. They
designate that Mr.. So-and-so may go to
the polls and vote. But other citizens,
of equal intelligence and worth, shall
not enjoy that privilege. Now, we ask
whence is this power derived of restrict
ing suffrage, of discriminating between
the right of American citizens. Are not
all Legislative powers derived from the
people? Certainly; that is ceceded.
Then We have it, in brief, that the
American citizen has the right to vote
when, where and how, or not at all,
only as his fellow citizens may permit.
That the fiat of bare majority, ami
hialates all claims and privileges of
minorities to the elective franchise, q
self-constituted oligarchy, if only in the
majority, can thus arrogate to itself all
privileges and rights! The supposed
rights of minorities as derived from Ma
ture, ARE no where; Republicanism as be-
ing based upon natural rights, delu-
sion dispelled by the dictum of an ire
sponsible majority!
Now we affirm that the above decis-
ion jeopardizes the privilege of the cleo
tive franchise by men, as now exercised.
If majority can permit men to vote
and deprive women, then majority can
permit women and deprive men, of vot-
ing at the polls, and it would be just as
legal, If the elective franchise, or in
other words the right of self-govern-
ment, is founded on the will of q ma
jority, and not on the rights Of
Nature. But let us push the argument
little further. Who had the right to
vote before Constitutions and laws were
founded? Somebody must have voted
before the making of laws, regulating
who should, and who should not vote.
Of coarse their rights were derived from
Nature, and thus all free governments
were formed to secure and defend the
natural rights of mankind, not to des-
troy or overthrow them. Our Supreme
Court instead of affirming these rights,
would rather leave whatever despotism
happens to be in power, full liberty to
continue on in its despotic work.
Thanks to the benefcent order of nature
it can be reconstructed. New judges,
actuated by the principles of right and
justice, will ere long occupy the places
of those who have so signally failed to
appreciate the rights of American citi>
zens. The cause will move on despite
their decision, which affects the women
as much as the old bred Scott Decision
did the slaves of the southern States.
With like result, we opine, it will but
hasten their final and complete enfran-
chisement. b. f. BRowN.

so far as the east and t4e lum-
Der trade are concerned, we can
only say the winter has been an
unusually dull one. Stocks have
scarcely been lessoned since last

all dealers throughout the south and

a stock for 1875, and that
very little re;,lenishing will be ne

Revival Of Trade.

The Albany, N. Y. correspon-
dent Of the Lumberman's Gazette
writes as follows concerning the
revival Of trade:
Nothing could be more crafty
Ing to business men at the present
time, than . real revival in trade.
but we fear that the present effort
to make people think that the year
Is to be bright one in all branch
90 OF trade, is not we'll founded.
Itseems very singular that where
- two or three weeks ago every
thing was 80 dull, il should now be
30 very promising. We have never
supposed that an improvement in
business could be effected by q
sudden resolution to have il so,
and that from O condition OF ex-
treme apathy, state Of unusual
activity could be brought about in
the space Of couple Of weeks by
certain newspapers, and copied by
others. Our idea Of improvement
IL that il nust Of necessity be
gradual work. Manufacturers
must start up moderately the num-
Der of idle men must he decreased
gra 'nally and Is they earn and are
bet er able to supply their wants,
the increased industries OF others
are required, and this in turn helps
the entire mass; but it must from
Its very nature be work of steady,
not rapid growth. You can never
Is'olve to make business good any
mDre than you can resolve TO make
men buy and consume; and you
can never do this until you place
them in positions OF ability so TO
do. We say you cannot resolve to
make business good. This is prac-
tically but not literally true; for
instance: II one hundred men should
contribute afund of money equal 10
one hundred millions of dollars.
and resolve that they will expepd
II for railroads, new steamships.
new canals, &c, it would be in
effect o resolution TO make business
good. But in the absence of such
action on the part Of individuals.
or a government, the same result
can only be brought shout grad
ually and by the natural develop
uent Of the necessity for these
new railroads, steamships canals &c.
Much harm may be done by
'aiking up an improvement pre-
naturoly. For instance: One
newspaper comments upon the sit (
istion, and predicts very speedy /,
'eturn to great activity ; one copies
rom another, and soon it is the
ak OF every one that business IN !
0 be good this year. Prompted q
y this, manufacturers talk M I
'rices they add one or two dol I
lrs per thousand to their lumber.
hree to five dollars per ton to
heir iron, and 80 on, and thus they c
heck in the outset any small i'm 8
rovement that may have existed. r

rices; the latter win surely follow :,
~ former, but il you reverse this G.
der, and advance the prices first, a
pom mere newspaper talk, your n
nsumers are frightened at once \.
d you defeat the desired end. !.
