Couldn't Wait.
tChicago Times.l

Not so particular was the couple that
awoke Justice Morrison from his midnight
slumber on the same date. He had them
admitted, and when the gas was turned on
to a full head he saw before him a young
man who held the hand of younger
woman. They were both confused, and
only after many bushes and stammers did
the justice divine their mission. 1t was
matrimony, of course. But the young maD
had failed to procure his license and was
told to come another day. The young man
whispered to his divinity and she put her
hands to her eyes and turned crimson.
Then the young man came over to the JUS
tIce and whispered in his ear: tits mighty
cold tonight, yer honor; would it make any
difference just for one night, jidge, yer
honor? And 'on our souls Wen get the
papers in the mornin'." They went away
with smile apiece on their faces, although
the justice AYERS he told them they must
wait

The following is an extract from debate
in the Packard legislature in Louisiana, as
telegraphed to the Cincinnati Enquirer:
Dinkgrave wanted to know whether War
moth thought that Nichols or Packard was
elected. Warmoth said on the face of the
official returns to the returning board itap-
peared that Nichols received about
10000 majority. The board reported
majority of $500 for Packard. He
did not know by what means the board ar
rived at the result. He was not prepared
to admit the legality of the means used by
the board to produce the result which they
did. When it was explained to him how
the result was reached, he would then be
prepared to say who had been legally
elected governor. When all the MEM
bers of the legislature who were
elected should declare in Joint assembly
who had chosen the governor, he was ready
to recognize that man, be he Nichols or
Packard. Mr. Mcmillan said his advice to
the legislature was to keep its hands off the
question. Louisiana is an interested party
1t is her vote which is in dispute. 1t would
be in bad taste for the legislature, under
the present circumstances, to take any part
in the matter

HOUSE.

The house was called to order at $50 by
the speaker. The reading of the journal was
dispensed with.
The following reports were received from
standing committees:
By Mr.. Carver, from the committee on or
ganization of counts, reporting back III. b.
212 recommending that it do pass. Also re-
porting back III. b. 205, with amendments,
recommending that it do pass. The report
was non-concurred in as regards the latter
bill
By Mr.. Adams, from the ways and means
committee, reporting back H. b. LOG,
recommending that it do pass.
On motion of Mr.. Craft H. b. $40,
which is the new election bill, was read a
second time, and referred to the committee
on judiciary.
Mr.. Kennedy, of Rush. moved to recon
slider the vote by which H. b. 49, by
Mr. Henderson, was passed The motion
was entered on the minutes.
The special order for the morning was the
consideration of the resolution declaring
that il Is the sense of the house that the
fourteenth and fifteenth amendments to the
constitution of the United States confer the
right of suffrage upon all citizens alike, re-
gardless of sex. Mrs. Mary A. Livermore
had been invited to speak on the question,
and before the resolution was submitted to
the house for action, it was decided to hear
her views. Mrs. Governor Wallace, Mrs.
Many Thomas OF Richmond, and Judge Carl
ton and Mr. Gering addressed the house
briefly, after which Mrs. Livermore spoke
for about an hour. The following is syn
opsis of her address:
The speaker maintained that man was
neither woman's inferior nor superior; that
the constitution needs no change to give
the woman the right of suffrage; that she
thought little of the movement
being made to obtain woman suf-
fraSe through the fourteenth and
fifteenth amendments to the constitution.
The great questions of intemperance and
social evil will never be properly dealt with
until the power is delegated woman to vote
and express her sentiments upon these mat
tiers. The refining influence that woman
would exert if given full scope was dwelt
upon at length, and in describing woman's
devotion and love the speaker affected many
TO tears in the audience. Women ask that
whatever rights men have they
may equally enjoy. We ask not
to be put under the foot of man, for it is
not safe for any one class to legislate and
dominate for another. 1t is complained that
women are extravagant and don't manifest
the seriousness and dignity that belongs to
American citizens. If you hedge up the
way to grand work and noble endeavor,
don't complain if woman fall into something
small and undigniied Reference was
made TO the emancipation OF the negro,
and comforting upon them unsolicited the
right OF suffrage. and the conclusion drawn
that If such an ignorant class were volun-
tarily given this privilege what an injustice

MACNAUOC At BpURGES.


PARIS, July 229.-President MacMahon has ar
rived at Bourges, where the Mayor presented an
address. The President, In replying. said his
sole aim had been the maintenance Of peace
abroad and constitutional order at home. His
Intentions and acts had been u1fsrepresented.
There had been no violation Of the Constitution
or interference with the liberty Of conscience, or
the jeopa1dizing OF foreign relations. "The
public good sense at home and abroad
has estimated these scaluunies ut their
true value. They will not discourage nor pre-
vent ME from fulfilling lny task with the help
OF the men who have hitherto been supporters
Of my policy. am confident the nation will
respond to my appeal, and will choose repre-
sentatiyes who will terminate conflict which,
If prolonged, corld only b. hurtful to the coun-
try's interests and check the pacific develop
nlent Of its greatness" Ailuding to foreign
affairs, the President said France had done all
in her power to iocaize the war in the East.
Peace, he said, is the French policy.
