The advocates OF woman suffrage have
been endeavoriDg for several years past to
get In an entering wedge 10 the ballot in
Mass sehuSetts, and are probably responsible
Tor the recent Introduction in the legislature
or that state Of bill giving suffrage to
women taxpayers. The Baltimore American
calls attention 10 the fact that with all our
talk about democratic principles and insLI-
tuilOns, we are behind Great Britain and
some other European countries in the pOliti-
cal rights We accord 10 women, and thinks
that upon the abstract question whether a
woman who pays tax OF q thousand dollars
should have a voice IN saying for what pur-
Pose II should be expended there can hardly
De two opinions. Still another question
arises. III suffrage is granted TO a certain
class OF women in Massachusetts will the
excluded class be content? On this point
also there can scarcely be two opinions.

Details of the developments before the House
Investigating Committee duplicating the
Secretary of War or members of his house
hold, In the sale OF post sutlershiPs. Itseems
to be Understood that the bargaining was
originally made with Secretary BeIknsn's
late wife, sister OF his present wife. II would
appear, further, that the wrong doing origi-
mated, not in any greed for money for Is
own sake, but through the feminine weak
ness OF desiring TO make q more distin-
guished figure socially than the salary OF
the husband would Justify. It is the old, old
story repeated: another chapter In the his
tory Of Vanity Fair. One OF the most repre-
hensible features OF the act. so far as Secre-
tary Belknap is concerned, is the base in
gratitude IL shows on his part towards the
President, who from personal esteem and
confidence in his Integrity and capacity
raised him from a position OF comparative
obscurity 10 a place I'm his cabinet.

thanked Mr., Hunton for his courtesy
and kindness in opening the doors tc
the investigation, and said that on
Colonel Scotts testimony this case
must stand or fall. Thomas A, Scot
said he could explain not only
all the transactions with refer.
enco TO himself, but everything
about the seventy.nye bonds that this
was n correct aud proper transaction,
based on securities due To hlmself an1
with which Mr. Blaine had nothing
to do.
Colonel Scott was sworn, aud on be-
ing examined by Mr. Hunton, testified
that he formerly owned these seventy
dive bonds OF the Little Rocf aud Fort
smith Railroad Company, and bought
them year aud four months previous
To his selling them TO the Union Pacific
Railroad Company. He bought them
from Josiah Caldwell, who was nego.
tiating bonds Of that company, Mr.,
Caldwell belonged to Boston, but he
did not know where he was now He
understood, however that Mr., Cald-
well, during the panic Of 1879, went to
Europe after his failure in the West,
and II was there lo gave Caldwell
eighty cents on the dollar for the
bonds, The purchase was made In
1870 when he had nothing TO do with
the Union Pacific Railroad Company.
He gave sixty thousand dollars for the
bonds, aud sold them to the Union Pa
cihc Railroad Company, through Nor
ton, Bliss Il Co., for nearly sixty-four
thousand, When, In March 1871, he
entered upon the duties OF president OF
the company, the stock was low down,
ana everything connected with IL de-
pressed, but II was not long before
there was unmarked Improvement In
all It's affairs. He had believed the
company would give him n liberal
compensation for his services lie was
pressed for money, OF which
he wanted more than the mere
salary, and II was finally
suggested that the company should
buy these seventy-llvo bonds of the
Little Rock and Foit Smith Railroad
Company. He was to have the option
OF buying them back. The Executive
Committee agreed TO buy the bonds at
price fixed through Morton, Bliss n
Co., and the bonds went TO the Union
Pacific Railroad Company In this direct
way and In no other. His yearly sala-
ry had never been paid, that would DO
eight thousand dollars with interest.
He had rendered the Union Pacific
Railroad Company service Tor which
there was no market value. lie was
satisfied that II the Little Rock and
Fort Smith Railroad had been built,
its bonds would nave Oeen as SoOu AZ
those of the Union Pacific Roada re to-
day. lie repeated that this purchase
of seventy-hve bonds by the company
was in consideration OF valuable SER
vices rendered by him. The invest
ment in these bonds was because the
company wanted TO do an equitable
thing for him. The company did not
display the transaction on their books,
and never expected that 1t would be :
come n subject of investigation by a
Congressional committee.
Question-Understood you to say
that the Executive Committee, OF
which you were an ex-ollicer, bought
these seventy-tive bonds to oblige YOU
Partially to oblige me and
also in consideration of valuable ser
vices.

Renoyate the Body Polite.
New YORK, May l5.-About three
hundred prominent gentlemen from
various parts of the country assembled
at the Fifth Avenue Hotel to-day to
attend the political conference called
by William Cullen Bryant, Horace
White, Theodore ID. Woolsey and A.
II. Bullock. Carl Schurz, secretary OF
the Lodge, called the meeting to order,
read the call, and said that for eight or
ten years past the country was growing
politically worse. Leading and strong
men OF the Republican party had
made the country blush with shame,
and now this meeting was called to
decide what was best TO be done to
remedy matters. Carl Schurz thanked
| the audience for such large attend-
ance, saying II was II good sign when
gentlemen came forward oshow their
political independence. Parke Good
win, ]. i. Foster, Of Connecticut; John
| w. Hoyt, of New York; Martin Bre-
mar. of Massachusetts,, and Carl Schurz,
were appointed a committee to draw
up some difinite plan Of action and to
take such other measures ~ may be
deemed necessary aud report to the
convention.
DIR. Osgood, taking the stand, said 1t
was every mans duty, be he clerical
or lay, to heed the fact that mere poll
ticians have crept into Office, men
who are OF base and most damnable
class. We do dot like the White
House, for an unpleasant odor has aris-
en- all round it. While believing that
the present incumbent is not bad
man, yet his associates are bad, bold
men. He has placed men In office
who, by their mlsdeeds, have made all
honest men hang their heads. We
want u man In that Office. intelligent,
honest, capable, heightened aud fear
less. lApplause.l
The conference then adjourned an
