war need not be considered in con-
nection with what, in short, may be
called the Southern Question, is good
Democratic doctrine, no doubt; and
/ therefore we are not surprised that
our cotemporary--0 mere orya7a-
adopts it. But nevertheless it is
false. Indeed, the question itself
had its immediate origin in the re-
suits Of the war. 1t is true that the
influences Of climate and habit,
along with an utter lack Of educa-
tional privileges on the part of the
! then slaves, had rendered the two
elements of Southern society inca
pable of perfect action; but it will
not be forgotten that it was not I'M
/ til the war ended that race troubles
/ began-that the Southern Question
of to-day, to be more broad, and of
/ the past twelve years, was one prac-
tically subsequent in its origin to
| the time Of Lees surrender.
When the results of the war are
impartially considered and weighed,
the character of the question, along
with the known and iuferential
knowledge necessary for its deter
mination, are in measure revealed.

difficulties in the way of the easy

former; and which, consequently,
must be taken into consideration
Indeed, inasmuch as that those of
the latter class were as truly the re-
suits of the war, and formed in part,
as it were, the adverse conditions
against which the national Govern
ment has had to contend in endeav-
oring to establish the others, they
appropriately ought first to be con-
sidered. What, then, were they

us a further reply through your columns,
that he viii approach the subject with a
better balanced head and purer heart, than
he manifested towards the writer at the
Old Folks meeting, in New Lyme. The
people Of New Lyme being desirous of hav-
ing the history of their town published in
book form, it was fully reviewed in the
presence of competent judges, who were
so well satisfied with the work that they
have had 500 copies published In book
form, many of which have been distributed
to their friends living at distance. Now,
Mr.. Editor, we submit to you and to your
numerous readers-who would be most
likely to be mistaken in this matter, your
Rome correspondent, who was at that time
but mere crying baby, or his honored and
highly respected sire, from whose lips the
words were taken down by that great his
torian, Joel Blakeslee, Esq? We cannot
yet believe that there is anything in that
history that would be likely to cause an
uprising of the spirits of our ancestral dead
who have so long remained at rest.

Peck, Jr., enters his protest against the
history of New Lyme as written by us, on
account of the erroneous statements which
he claims it contains, ''that do injustice to
some Of the old pioneers that are dead and
gone, and cannot stand up for their own
rights" We regret that he does not state
his objections to that history, but we sup
pose them TO be the same that were made
by him and his associates at the Old Folks
meeting in New Lyme in 1876, where a
portion of that history was read, and his
objections, as we supposed, were then set
tied. One objection was, that a bear claim
ed to be shot by Elijah Beekwith with a
rifle, was not shot with rifle, but mus
ket. We find that in referring back to the
earliest record of that event that the faith

the historian Blakeslee to say that Mr..
Beckwith came along with his gun and
shot the bear. The history further states
that the party Of emigrants of 1911, some

Crime Among WOmen-SmuggIing-
WOmen's RIghts-The Gamblers
The End of TIIdenfsm,
CRIME AMONG WOMEN.

NnAME AMON0 WOAENs
The removal of sixty-eight female con-
victs from the prison at Sing Sing to the
Brooklyn Reform Prison was curious and
instructive sight. When woman does
get bad, she is as much worse than man
as possible. The women were marched to
boat, and their profanity was something
wonderful. Their first exploit was an at
tempt to drown an obnoxious officer
which they nearly succeeded in doing-and
they sailed away singing the most horrible
travesties of The most sacred hymns. One
woman of sixty. named Elkins, is the
mother of eight children, all Of whom are
at this time in prison, and there has never
been time since the youngest was ten,
that five of them have not been in confine-
ment at the same time. The old lady was.
in her youth. pickpocket, and the most
skillful one IN the city, but of late years
her fingers lost their nimbleness, and she
has confined her attention to shor-lifting.
The little freedom of the boat reused all
the old enthusiasm. GLOW 1 wish was
out, she said, Couldn't | work the second
floors Of the stores on Sixth Avenue, where
there amt but one clerk? It's too bad!"
and the old harridsn sighed to think Of the
opportunities she was missing. One beau
tifuf girl Of not more than twenty-five, be-
longed to one Of the best families in the
city. she fell in love with moustached
pickpocket, who married her. her family
cut her of, she became an adroit thief her
self. and went down, as women do. like
shot. She became abandoned and utterly
reckless; her family count her as dead, and
she is one of the worst and most unruly of
the prisoners. Another is a woman of good
connections, who is a confirmed kleptoms-
MAC; she was well enough of, having a
husband in good business, who was very
liberal to her; but she could not avoid
theft. She would steal the most useless ar
tieles-things that she could not use, and
that were of no possible account to her,
Shop-keepers dreaded to see her come into
their places, for it became necessary to de-
tail clerk to watch her, and even then, so
expert had she become, she would get
away with some plunder in spite of them.
She was arrested great many times, and
was saved from punishment by her hus-
band going to the expense Of getting her
clear every day or two. Finally it broke

law take its course, 1t is with her an in-

The Mexican border troubles grow no
better The cattle thieves who make their
raid over into Texas, drive off considerable
quantities of stock, and making their flight
across the Rio Grande, are safe with their
plumber on Mexican territory. While Mex
can soil is inviolate, there is no way Of
capturing and Furnishing the maruders.
But some two or three years ago CO.. Baker
of the Q. S. army drove these marauders
back across the Mexican line and pursued
and punished them there. OF course this
is violation Of international rights, and
might result in war if too frequently re-
sorted to. Our Government was, in this
instance, invited to apologize, but refused.
There can be no doubt but the present ad-
ministration will inform the Mexican au-
tborities that these marauding expeditions
have got to cease or measures will be taken
that will soon put stop to them. The sit
nation, always bad along the Rio Grande,
is just now aggravated, as Lerdo, the ex-
lied President, is there, making prepars-
tions to invade Mexico and claim the Office
of which he has been deprived by his more
fortunate and successful rival, Diaz The
laBless followers of Diaz will use these pre-
parations as an excpse for crossing the
borders and stealing the cattle of the Tex
ans. The government of the United States
VIII Of course be compelled to resent this
invasion and plunder, and it is to be feared
that no mere protest or admonitions will
do. The Cabinet at Washington are con-
sidering the matter, and if no other mode
shall be bit upon to prevent the plunder of
Texas citizens, it seems quite likely that
Diaz will have to manage his lawless hordes,
or they viii find that the example Of Col.
Baker viii be followed and punishment in
fieted upon the robbers on Mexican terri
tory and at the risk of complications with
the Mexican government. It's due that
our border citizens should be protected in
their rights and property.
