British loyalty is strained to the utmost both
by the absence of the Queen and the scheme
for creating her an Empress. 1t appears para
doxical that the Crown should be most assaied

No one can rise from the perusal of Mr.
Charles O'Conor's remarkable address to the
Bar Association, elsewhere printed this morn
ing, without a profound consciousness that
one of our purest and most eminent citizens
has been brutally traduced, without provo
cation and without excuse. The only mistake
Mr. OConor makes in the matter is in dignifylng
the attack by making to it 50 conclusive and
crushing q reply. Character counts for some
thing, and he had.a right to assume that, with
out his uttering one word, New-YOrk
would decide between him and his as
saiants, by hustlng them out OF court
The time chosen for making these charges was
even more disgraceful than anything else about
them. Mr.. O'ConOr has but recently recovered
from prOtracted Illness, in which for weeks
his life was despaired of, and the whole city
waited for his last breath. Returning from
the jaws of death, he made his first appearance
In behalf of public charity, and his next in
the courtroom in aid of the prosecution against
our municipal thieves. That prosecution he
has vigorously conducted for years, bringing
to the rescue of New-York from the Ring
that had ruled her the best resources
of the foremost of our lawyers, and
devoting all these to the service of the
city absolutely without fee or hope of reward.
If such man, at such a time, can be met by
so wanton and baseless charge, what limit
shall anywhere be set to reckless defamation

Presidential probabilities are very fully dis
cussed in our Washington and Albany CORE
spondence, so far as Convention work is con-
cened. The Republicans, it is pointed out,
NAV be ranged under three classes; perhaps
the simplest designation for them would be:
Thorough Reformers for Bristow; Moderate
Reformers, for Blaine Non RefOrmers, Admin
istration men. On the Democratic side tho
divisions are not so manifest, though if SIM
liar classification were adopted, the supporters
of Tilden would, of course rank as the Thor
ough Reformers. What his efforts for reform
have gained and lost for Gov Tiden as can
ddate at Utica, is shown in the careful analysis
of his strength given in our Albany letter.
The absurd rumor is therein exploded, which
has attributed to the Governors supporters the
intention to initiate at Utica the Syracuse mis-
take of sending pledged delegation. In that
respect, at least, they are likely to learn wisdom
from their enemy's folly.

There is prospect of our mercantile interests
being unsettled as usual during the session of
Congress, by debate over the Tariff. Whether
ANYTHING will come of Mr.. Morrison's bill except
speeches and amendments and the consequent
uncertainty of business operations, may well
be doubted. The weakness Of the support OF
the measure is indicated by the circumstance
that the most sensible provision the bill CON
tained-a moderate tax on tea and coilee-had
to be stricken out before the Committee on
WAYS and Means would report favorably.

The jingle of silver is not far OIL. The
House certainly deserves credit for the prompt
ness with which it and its Committee on APP

rency bill coming from the Senate. The opera

time for the Centennial, and our foreign visit
ors will find that our citizens-at least as to
small change--fOllow the customs of civillza-
ton, and pay their way in honest coin.

Mr.. Dclano C. Calvin. who has just been

at the last election THE TRIBUNE thought best
fitted for the place and urged its readers to

they have done the proper thing. We believe
that Mr.. Calvin will make an excellent officer,

Perhaps there is nothing personal in it, but
the Senate has followed the lead of the House
in contracting Gen. Babcock's powers and
making his title of Commissioner of Public
Buildings and Grounds merely nominal. He
will no longer be allowed to control the funds

however, that Congress has any doubts; for
Gen. Babcock has himself assured lis that nc
is an honorable man, Notwithstanding the bur

that any one will be all right after he
once gets inside, no matter how cold it
is. AS the snow covers it entirely over
during the winter, the entrance is from
the top. Soon after leaving this cabin,
we came to the lava. 1t is utterly i'm
possible for me to describe the wierd,
wild, uncanny look this place has. 1t
is four miles across it, and nothwith-
standing the road is excellent consider

turned back, as it was down grade from

Spring (six miles from the junction of

having first to procure the raw material
of the sturdy mountaineer who lives
here.
Passed old Camp Polk-now the home
of Mr.. Hindman-about 10 O'Clock, and,
Notwithstanding it was Sunday, we re-
plenished our larder at his store. We
had intended to camp at Deschutes

fore we reached there, the balky horse
concluded that about halfway up a
steep grade was good place to camp,
and so we humored him. But we had
the consolation of knowing there some
mule teams behind us that would be on
early in the morning, and they would
have to get us out of the way before
they could get by. But wasn't 1 home

A Social Evil.

Inthe Women's Pavilion at the Cen
tennial Exposition there is an exquisite
specimen of embroidery which elicits
the admiration of every beholder.
Sprays of vines and flowers wreathing
and INTERVENING in a way that rivals
nature, almost conceal bit of wall
which forms the background. But the
pictured fabric is incomplete-the
hands that so deftly aud patiently
traced the silken lines are mouldering
in the tomb-they were not permitted
to finish their beautiful task.
"HOw fine the stitches ~ "How del
icate the shading !" Chow much
time must have been spent over that
piece ~ are among the exclamations
heard from lady visitors as they inspect
this pathetic needle-wOrk. Are there
many among them who think of the
thousands of tOilers with the needle,
who, like the author of that fabric, are
weaving in fragments of their lives with
the minute stitches that necessity or
fashionable caprice cOmpels them to
make?
All around us are the pallid faces and
contracted shoulders of women who
must or will make
Band, and gusset, and seam,
seam anu SuSSeI, anu Ddnu,
Till the heart is sick, and the brain benumb'd,
As we'll as the weary hand"
For those poor unfortunates who are
bound down to their exhausting routine
by the iron chain of necessity our pity
is most hearty, and we deprecate and
reprehend the hollow, cruel convention
alism of society which affiicts and tor
lures those whose lot it is to sew. For
those many women, however, who bend
over the sewing-table day after day that
their children or themselves may be
braided, plated, and founceJ after the
latest styles, and make as good an ap-
pearance as their neighbors, we have
little pity, but a good deal of reproof for
their imprudence and sin in neglecting
this "weighter matter" of life, the
health of body and mind. Stop, stop
this folly-ye suborners and pliers of
the needle.

Work During the Year.

From the seventh annual report of
of the Executive Committee of the
American Woman Suffrage Association
we compile the following relative to
work in various places
The new year began with an effort to
secure Woman Suffrage in Colorado, by
a mass meeting at Denver, January 10th,
which was followed by the formation of
State and county societies and much
active work.
January 10th, Judge Kingman, of
Wyoming, was invited by the Suffrage
Committee of the Massachusetts Legis-
lature to report the actual working of
Woman Suffrage in that Territory.
Judge Kingman affirmed in very clear
and straightforward manner its practi-
cal working and the good results.
January 10th, Governor Carpenter, of
Iowa, urged Woman Suffrage upon the
attention of the Legislature of that
State.
February Sth, there was majority
report of the Colorado Committee for a
new Constitution against Incorporating
Woman Suffrage in it, but also a mi
nority report in favor of it.
February Goth, more than 5000 sigma
lures to petitions for Woman Suffrage
had been presented before the Massa-
chusetts Legislature.
March 18th, the Massachusetts, Senate,
by vote of "a to 16, passed bill to sub
NIT an amendment for Woman Suf-
frage to the vote of the men of that
State.
March 9th this bill was defeated in
fhn Hnnaa nv uOfo Of 1OT fo
In March, also, Judge Ryan, of the Su-
preme Court of Wisconsin, decided
against the right of Lavinia Goodell to
practice law in that Court. Miss Good
ell in a very able plea defended her
right. There is hope of an act of the
next Legislature by which Miss Goodell
will be allowed to follow her cases from
the courts where she is permitted to prac-
tice, to any court to which they may be
appealed.
In March, the Iowa House of Repre-
sentatives PASSED q Woman Suffrage
Amendment to the Constitution of that
State by vote of 54 to 40. 1t was de-
feated in the Senate by one vote-22 tC
%.
In April, Miss Crocker was elected one
of the four supervisors of the public
schools of Boston. She was the first
woman who ever served in that capa-
city, and the first to receive hesnug sal
ary of $4,000 year.
April 18th, the homestead of Abby
Kelly Foster was sold for taxes, because
Mrs. Foster claimed that taxation anC
representation should go together, anC
so refused to pay the tax till she coulC
vote. In l776, men gave their lives tC
defend the right to be represented a:
well as taxed. In 1875, the descendant:
of these old heroes sell at public outcry
the home of a brave woman who gave
her youth and middle life to rid the
country of the slave system, and now
in her old age, stands for the right to bt
represented as we'll as taxed. The Cen,
tennial Exposition waves its flags al
the same, and men cheer for the Decla.
ration, aud sell out the new one mad,
for the same principle to-day.
