THE SUPREME COURT ON WOMAN SUI
FRA GE.-Chief Justice Waite has just de-
livered an interesting decision. The case
of Virginia L. Minor and Frank Minor
against Reese Happersett came before the
United States Supreme Court of the State
of Missouri upon writ of error. The vital
question was whether woman born or
naturalized in the United States, and sub
ject to the jurisdiction thereof, has the
right of suffrage as one of the privileges
nd immunties Of citizen. 1t is beyond
a doubt that women may be citizens by
b firth or naturalization; but the Court he'd
that the Fourteenth Amendment did not
increase the privileges and immunities of
a citizen, or necessarily create new voters
it m erely furnished an additional guar
antee for the protection of existing rights.
This is shown by the adoption of the Fiji
teenth A mendmenl in order 10 prevent the
suffrage being denied on account of race,
color or previous condition of servitude.
In the original States women were exclud-
ed from the suffrage; States more recently
admitted from time 10 time have had no
difficulty in entering into the Union, be-
cause they did not permit women TO vote
and in 1907 New Jersey Withdrew the suf
frage from women and the United States
offered no objection. The Court, therefore,
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES 'the Con-
stitution of the United States does not con-
fer the right of suffrage upon any one, and
that the constitutions and laws of the sew
eral States which commit that important
trustto men alone are not necessarily void"

Mr.. NoRDHoFF has been travelling
through the Southern States pretty extern
sively in the past six months. He went
down as correspondent of the New York
Herald, and in that character had access to
all sources of information and observation,
and we may be sure the democrats showed
him their best side, and the worst side of
the negroes. Mr.. Nordhoff has, on several
occasions, sharply condemned the conduct
of Southern republicans, and of the admin
istration, and has in some instances iusti-
fed doubtful courses Of the white demo-
Gratis. The Northern democratic and Sim
dependent press have been much pleased
with this, and have lavished the heartiest
enconiums on the truthfulness and Impair
TALLY of Mr.. Nordhofrs views on the
Southern question. They were not weary
of commencing his views to their readers.
Well, Mr.. Nordhoff has now got homo
from his Southern trip, and this Is the way
he sums up the political situation there;
at will not do for the democrats to get
into power now. There is ruin behind IT,"

THE EXECUTION OF PEMDERToN.-Geo.
w. Pemberton, the murderer OF Mrs. Mar
garet +. Bingham of East Buston, March
%, was hanged in Suffolk county jail at
Boston, last Friday forenoon. The murder
was one of the most atrocious in the Grim
inal history OF the state. Pemberton cali
ing at the victims house, late in the ailer-
noon, on pretense OF fixing the water pipes,
and, having decoyed Mrs. Bingham into
the cellar, brutally beating and strangling
her, and making his escape with a few
rings which he stripped from her fingers.
One Of these rings he tried 10 sell for drink
at Salem, the next morning, which lod to
mis- arrest, aud his guilt was conclusively
proved, the only defense urged by his
counsel being that lie was not responsible
for the act on account OF his long contn-
ued debauchery. His life in prison, up to
the time of his attempted suicide, a few
weeks ago. was more that of brute than a
man, but since that event, he has seemed
to undergo a change, and made some prep
aralons for his death, Rev. DIR. Lorimer,
his wife's pastor, frequently visiting him
and being with him during his last mo-
meuts, Friday. On Thursday night, he
sat in deep thought till nearly morning,
when he slept lightly Till long afler day
light. When the hour of the execution ar
rived, he walked forth calmly, and, even
when seated on the drop, expressed no
emotion He died almost instantly when
the drop fell, he neck being broken by the
fall of about 10 feet. His body was taken
down in about half an hour and given to
his wife, who buried it privately in the af-
ternoon. Jesse Pomeroy, the boy murder
er, and the two Jefferson Borden mutin-
same Jail, were within sound of the thud
made by Pemberton's fall, and while the
former was in excellent spirits, the mutln-
GERS were entirely unnamed.

HERZEGovINA.-The Herzegovinian in
surrection is awakening interest in peo-
pie and country which for a long time
have attracted but little attention outside
OF Turkey. Herzegovina, having an area
of nearly $500 square miles, and popula-
ton of nearly 100000, is situated in the
northwestern part of Turkey, separated
ftom the Adriatic Sea by stiip OF land
belonging TO Dalmatia. 1t was the ancient
Illyrcum, and large portion Of its inhab-
itants are nominally Christians, who trace
their faith back TO the preaching of the
Apostle Paul. About $50, 900 OF the people
belong TO the Greek Church. and the re-
mainder are Catholics and Mobammedans.
The country was conquered by the Turks
about the commencement of the eighteenth
century. The immediate cause of the re-
cent revolt was oppressive taxation. This
year the exactions were heavier than usual,
but the people were less able to make pay
ment, and they were driven by their dis
tress into open resistance. Herzegovina is
geog raphically surrounded by friends
Crotia on the north, Bosnia and Servia on
the east, and Montenegro on the south,
WINE tue lunaDltaulS Ol Ddluldlla nave
sho wn decided sympathy with the insur-
rectionists. Bosnia has never been easy
under the Turkish yoke, and has from
time to time revolted; Montenegro,
neutrality-suspicious. State, has always been
foremost in strifes against the Turkish
power; Servia, probably the most impor-
lant of these provinces, after numerous in
ternal connections, obtained a semi-inde-
pendent condition about 1873, and is ruled
by native prince. There can be little
doubt that sooner or later the Turkish rule
win be thrown of of Herzegovina. Mean
while the Sultan has appointed Grand
Vizier who is a champion Of absolute gov
eminent, although assurances are given
that no vexatious oppressive acts will be
allowed in the name Of the government.
I'm fort unately past experience has taught
the Herzegovinians that Turkish promises
are seldom made good; and there is little
reason to expect that such assurances will
have any permanent effect.

The Boston Globe on the Ohio elections:
1.-THE Republican ticket is elected by fair
majority, and Bill Allen and Sam Cary,
with their rag money phantasles, are sent
to the rear. 1t was hard days work, but
the men went to it propped up by two forces
which seldom meet defeat-confidence and
a just cause. The fight was not for suprem-
acy in State matters alone; il was for hon
est government, cool judgment, and a
sound currency. With the defeat of the
Ohio inflationists sinks into obscurity that
heresy which has vaunted itself so inso-
lently in Pennsylvania and other States be-
yond her borders. This victory for hard
money has a national significance, too; it
defines the policy of both parties on that
question, and its effect will be felt in the
councils of Congress during the coming
session. The Republicans, and all honest
hard money men in Ohio, have done their
duty well and nobly, and they have given
to the Republican party of the country
new courage, fresh strength and hopes of
final triumph which can as easily be real
lied as was the victory of Rutherford II.
Hayes. Now for Pennsylvania

THE LANGMAID MURDER AT PEMBROKE,
N. 1.-THE evidence against William Drew
as the murderer ofJosie Langmaid at Penn
broke, last week, is daily accommodating
and the belief that he is the guilty party is
fast gaining cTedence. Although he ac-
counts for his whereabouts, a portion of
the morning on which the crime was COM
nilted, part of his statement is corrobor-
aled only by his father, whose reputation
for veracity is no better than his sons. An
intimate acquaintance OF Drew's says he
was in the habit of carrying with him a
large dirk knife, with blade four or five
inches in length, with which the work of
decaptation could easily have been done.
The most damaging testimony yet pro-
duced, however, is the statement of a Miss
Lake, schoolmaie of the murdered girl,
who says that Josie told her, in 1874, that
Drew had insulted her on the road 10 school
one morning, with vile proposals, and
threatened to "ehop her ID head of" if
she exposed him. This statement has Gre
ated a decided sensation among the already
excited populace. There Is little doubt
that the murder was committed by some
one perfectly familiar with the neighbor-
hood ana not by tramp as at first suppos-
ed,
