IeHtafe SUFFRAGE.

1t is now stated in the Philadelphia
4fssss that the English Com moner, Mr..
John Bright. has changed his mind on
the female suffrage question, aud has
just voted against measure favoring
the enfranchisement of women. As long
as Mr.. Mill lived, Mr.. Bright was one of
the strong supporters of the ballot for
women, which was, it is presumed, owing
to their close frie dship and intimacy
II this is true, it is time the Commsrci1l,
Of this city, had abandoned its female
Suffrage doctrines also. Tnee. Tilton
vent so far in his advocacy of women :
right to vote, as to write letter in
which he declared that he hoped to see
the day when a negress would occupy
the Presidential chair. 1t may be that
Tilton was a light to the editor Of the
Csmmerciul. as Mill was to Bright. And
now that Tilton also has faded from pub.
lie view, is it not opportune for the Com
mercsdl to give up its views in favor O
the right of negro women to vote in ou
state? 1t is a serious question sine,
there are lots OF white women who woulC
not vote if the right were accorded
them. Do give us your viewa, Mr.. Com
mereiol, are you still determined that
women shall vote in Delaware and with
cut regard to co or

The Commercial says the Government
will lose nothing by the defalcation of
the late Collector of the Port. We be-
lieve it said the same thing as an excuse
for Ktllsore, Day, Hillyard, Do,tgherty,
Lesots, W'ggins, Wilmer, Burton, ct. al.
But the results proved otherwise. In
some of these cases only part of the
security money was paid; and some of
the securities bave never paid up yet.
in the present case of Nolen the govern
ment has already lost considerable in the
shape OF interest. The amount at risk
IS said to be $1,000; but it may have oeen
rluch more. But it ought to have been
IN the treasury in 1872. The interest on
sum compounded would show a loss
about $500. But we believe it will
never be paid. One of the securities is
net worth dollar, and has been vnder
the hands Of the Sheriff, for some time:
while the friends of Doctor Jump assure
h1m, we are told, that he will not have TO
near the loss OF the whole amount Of the
security.
The daily gazette., 1876-05-02
Was BrisfosC's Negligence the
Cause Of Loss I?

The Commercial in its issue of Saturday
closes its voluntary defense Of Secretai y
Bristow as follows:
''If Secretary Bristow had known, last July,
that Collector Nolen was derellct as he Is
now found to he, Collector No,en would hav e
been removed, last July. That is Bristow's
way"
Now, we DO not suppose the Commercial
means to imply that if Mr.. Bristow's at :
tention had been called to the matter, by
his subordinates, &c. That would be
TOO thin"
The Secretary is responsible the
neglect ef lis under officers. 1t was his
duty to know lt-and it was in this light
that we said he did know of the defalca-
ton in July. And further We said he
knew of it in July because We under
stood one of the officers in our Custom
House said his attention was then called
to the matter.
We know it is matter of record in the
Custom House, and the Commercial may
satisfy itself, that the usual course was
pursued and the Department notified in
1872, that the brandy had been taken in
the wrecked vessels, and instructions
forwarded to Nolen what disposition to
make Of it to secure the governments $
right to duties. This being the case why
was the money allowed to be in Nolen' s
hands until this time? Does this not go
to prove Bristow's unworthin IS of his
trust

AN k1pLASAT!oN NEBDED-The Rrpab-
tiean yesterday published the following,
and We Join it in demanding an cxplana-
ton:
LKAKr.-The Coo,merc,ol states that
he French brandy which came ashore at
Dewes in 1872, lost before the sale 800
gallons, worth $1,000, and intimates that
zap. Lyons knows all about the Job. The
captain should rise and explain, Us such
our assertion is.
We hope Captain Lyons will 90 to
Washington and give that wonderful
man, Secretary Bristow, the facts in the
case, as he seems to be totally ignorant
Of the whole affair. 1t is little curious
that se should have stirred up things at
al. We have 10 doubt Nolen would
nave been very willing to vote for any
set of delegates for the privilege Of be-
inS allowed to continue In office until his
term had expired. Had Nolen and No.
LENS son and his Deputy, who were made
aware Of the detalcation as far back as
January, wanted TO play sharp game
they would have been blating Rristow
men; but report says they were for
elaine or Conkling. The Commercial,
however, which pretends to know all
about these party matters, declares there
g no division in sentiment in Delaware.
Will it explain.

THE HOTEL KEEPERS Of PHILADELPHIA
have made great mistake in raising the
price of board. The New York Hetel in
New York has been closed for want of
custom. The people there find it is bet
ter to patronize respectable houses that
charge but 81 and 50 per day, and will
not pay 81 and s.. The hotel keepers of
Philadelphia will experience the same
thing. They would have shown more
shrewdness by waiting until they were
compelled by the rush Ct customers to
increase their rates. There will be a
large amount Of pic.nicing done at the
centennial, and these high rates will be
an excuse for it.

CANirr BE True? We can hardly cred
it the statement in the following para
graph, which we take from the Repubi;-
cdn:
Rejected.-It said that the House In
vestigating Committee rejected the ap-
plication of f. J. Dougherty to testify in
regard to irregularity in the actions of
the U. S. officials in our city. They erred
in this if they wished to get at the truth,
rs any lamp that gives the faintest
glimmer of light Isl better than none and
Capt D., could testify to what he knew
and did at the bidding of his superiers or
associates.
Mr.. Dougheity was the Republican
candidate for Mayor of this city in 1872,
and was subsequently made Treasurer of
the Board of Health by the same party.
As a witness he should therefore, not be
objected to by the Republican committee
men, and certainly the Democrats ought
to be willing to allow him an opportuni-
ty to tell what he knows. We hope they
will do SO. Dougherty no doubt can tell
who employed the ballot-box suffers,
and Philadelphia repeatcrs, to come to
our city, andsproceed to Appoquinimink
Hundred to make fight and destroy the
ballots on the day of the election. We
hope this matter will be looked into es-
pecially as several of Republican Deputy
Marshals of Philadelphia were engaged
in the affair, and were no doubt paid out
of the secret sci ice fund By Grants
order. Dougherty is now on,the Centen-
nial police force at Fair Mount Park.
