what DID They Mean by It.

The readers oil the 1NTELLdEhCEA
will remember that Just before the close
Of the late session Of Congress, the Hon.
Scott Lord, Democratic Congressman
from New York, offered the following
resolution in the House, which was passed
by vote of 174to2:
"Bsu Rsslvsd, etc.,, That all attempts
BY force, fraud, terror, intimidation or
Otherwise to prevent the free exercise Of
the righ: OF suffrage in any State ss0t!d

ton or punishment OF the criminal or
criminals in any court having jurisdiction
il. imperatively demanded, whether the
crime be punish liable by fine or imprion::
ment or one demanding the penalty OF
DEATH
We have asked, az the caption Of this
article, what did this resolution mean ?
The Democrats-that is, many OF them
voted for it? What did they mean by
passing such a resolution? Was it po-
litical strategy or buncomb only, intend
ed merely for capital in the canvas
something to which Northern Congress
men could point in their speeches on the
stump, and say to their constituents
"Look here! We are just as much ii
favor OF preserving the peace 10 the
South as you are, and in order to pre-
serve it we passed the resolution offered
by Mr.. Lord, Democrat"
The Democracy passed the resolution
we have quoted for ornament, not for use
As Mr.. Riddle, OF Tennessee, would say
they are "hOist by their own petard."
Now that an election is coming on, and
the vote Of South Carolina is important
the Democracy ignore Mr.. Lords fesOlu'
lion entirely and howl over Grants des
poti.m. And yet even SO conservative
and non-partisau paper a. the New York
Nation is moved to make the following
comment upon the South Carolina sitna
ton:
"When one ia asked what the Govern
ment should now do, Of course an answer
ia yery difficult. That the whites II
South Carolina are fearfully excited, anc
are bent by fair means or foul on Kidding
themselves OF the degraded Government
OF the last ten years, and that the negroel
are unable to protect themselves, admits
we suppose, Of no question"
This means, we take it, that an emer
gency has arisen in one Of the States o
the Union such as was contemplated il
the Hon. Scott Lords resolution, anC
such as the ia members who voted for i
must, from their past experience, have
contemplated when they recorded them
selves in favor OF its passage. II tht
Democracy had been sincere in passing
the Lord resolution they would not nov
complain Of General Grant for carrying
II into effect. But they were not SINGER
they passed it for effect, not knowing
that trouble was so imminent in tn
South, and now they rspudiate it. 4
great political necessity is laid upol
them to howl, and so swallowing thei
resolution along with all the other croV
that they have eaten in this canvass, the!
proceed to howl over Federal usurpation

Women's Widening Educational Adyan-
tages.

There are gratifying evidences now
and then that woman's field of work
on equal terms is widening; the bars
are let down before mans traditional
preserves, one after another. The
council of the English Royal College
of Surgeons has decided to admit
women to examination for its license
in midwifery. This license entities
its holder to place in the Medical
Register, and gives the woman who
attains it a legally recognized posi-
ton as practitioner i'll one depart
ment, at least, of medicine and sur
gerry. Two years ago, there were
many young Russian women study
ing medicine at Zurich, because they
couldn't do it in their own country.
But things have changed in Russia;
there are, this winter, III women
studying in the st. Petersburg Acad-
envy of Medicine and Surgery, of
whom 102 are of noble birth, seven
teen daughters of merchants, twelve
daughters of clergymen. The asso-
citation of men and women at clinics
and the d~issecting table has been
characterized by entire harmony and
sobriety ; no such d~isgraceful demon
stration occurring as at Edinburg.
We note that, for the third time
within five years, the %convocation of
the University of London has urged
the opening of the University to wo-
men; voting by a large majority, at
its last meeting, that it was desirable
that a new charter be granted which
shall enable the University to grant
degrees to women. On a previous
occasion the Senate, whose concur
rent action is requisite, came to a tie
on the question, and only the prcsid-
ing officers casting vote kept the
doors shut. The conservatism of the
Senate is ascribed to the influence of
certain medical members, and accord
ingly the convocation added to their
vote in favor Of a new charter, a res
olution asking that such charter pro-
vide for the election of a larger num-
Der of Senators than heretofore by
the c~onvocation.

A Word About Marriage.

a physician writes the following
sensible advice: My profession has
thrown me among women of all
classes, and my experience teaches
me that God never gave man a
greater proof of his love than to
place woman here with him. Ny
advice is: Go, propose to the most
sensible girl you know. If she says
yes, tell her how much your income
is, from what source derived, and
tell her you will divide the last shil-
ling with her, and love her with all
your heart in the bargain. And
then keep your promise. My word
for it, she will live within your in
come, and to your last hour you will
regret that you didn't marry sooner.
Gentlemen, don't worry about fem
mime extravaganza and feminine
untruth. just you be true to her,
love her sincerely, and throw it up
to her frequently, and a more fond,
faithful, foolish slave you will never
meet anywhere. You won't deserve
her, | know, but she will new
know it. Now throw aside pride
and s~elfshness, and see what will
come of it.

That Bristow mule has kicked over
the newly elected Democratic United
States Senator from Kentucky, Mr..
james B. Beck. He was a member
of Congress when the mule claim was
under consideration, and lobbied for
it before the Committee ON Appro-
priations, which was an abuse of his
Congressional position, while Mr.
Bristow's services, rendered in his
capacity as an attorney and while he
was a private citizen, consisted only
in making a legal argument in court.
The Democracy seem fated in their
Investigations. Their old blunderbus
is more dangerous in the breech than
in the muzzle. A few Republicans
have been shot by it, but the DEATH
list of Democratic notables is much
the largersof the two.

Russian correspondents are not
allowed in Croatia, a province of the
Austrian Empire, as is shown by a
Viennese dispatch announcing the
expulsion of five of these parties
from that district. 1t is evident that
the affairs of Austria on the Turkish
border are being watched with so
critical and perhaps covetous an eye
by the Russians as to excite distrust
and jealousy on the part of the Aus
trian authorities.
