WASHINGTON CONVENTION
OF THE
National Woman Suffrage Association.

National Woman Suffrage Association.
The Eighth Annual Convention
of the National Woman Suffrage
Association will be held in Lincoln
Hall, Washington, D. c., January
10th and 18th, 1877.
AS by repeated judicial decisions,
Woman's right to vote under the
14th Amendment has been denied,
we must now unitedly demand a
10th Amendment to the u. s. Com
stitution. that shall secure this right
to the Women Of the Nation.
In certain States and Territories
where Women had already voted.
they have been denied the right by
legislative action. Hence il must
be clear to every thinking mind that
this fundamental right Of citizen
ship must not be lef:: to the ignorant
majorities in the several States; for
unless it is secured everywhere, il
is safe nowhere. ;.
We urge allSuffrage Associations
and friends of Woman's Entran-
chisement throughout the country tc
send delegates to this Convention,
freighted with mammoth Petitions
for a 10th Amendment. Let other
proposed amendments be held in
allegiance to the sacred rights of the
Women of this Nation. The most
reverent recognition of God in the
Constitution would be justice and
equality for Woman.
On behalf Of the National Waman Suf
frage Association,

MIR. BoUCICAULT say that he can
make all the scenery in a theater
fre-proof at an expense of 500.
And here is the secret:
1.-The canvas and rope is soaked
In a solution Of tungstate of soda
for half an hour. This amount of
time is quite sufficient. After it is
dry it is primed with solution of
silicate of soda, when it is safe and
secure. The same application
will also make the wood
work partially fireproof, and, indeed.
il becomes SO for all practical pur-
poses. But we intend to use
another solution for the woodwork,
which is called the 'tungstate Of
molybdenum,' that being more efec-
tive and thorough. When the
scenery and woodwork are thus

no other effect than to eventually

Wedding Anniversaries.

Fashion has established the GUS
tom, OF late years, of celebrating
certain anniversaries of the marriage,
these being naRed as follows: The
celebration at the expiration of the
first year is called the cotton we'd
ding: at two years comes the pa
per; at three, the leather; at the
close of five years comes the wooden;
at the seventh anniversary the
friends assemble at the wooden, and
at Ten comes the tin. At twelve
years the silk and fine linen; at fif-
teen the crystal wedding; at twenty
the friends gather with their China,
and at twenty-five the married coup
lie that have been true to their vows
for a quarter Of century are re-
warded with silver gifts. From
this time forward the tokens of es-
TEEN become rapidly more valuable.
When the thirtieth. anniversary is
reached they are presented with
pearls; at the fortieth, comes the
rubies; and at the fttieth. occurs the
glorious golden Wedding. Beyond
that time the aged couple are allow
ed to enjoy their many gifts in
peace. Ii, however, by any posi-
bility they reach the seventy-ffth
anniversary, they are presented with
the rarest gifts to be obtained, at
the celebration of their diamond
wedding.
In issuing the invitations for eele-
brating these anniversaries, it is
customary 10 print them on a materi-
al emblematical Of the occasion.
Thus, thin wood, leather, cloth, tin
foil, silk, silver and gold paper and
other materials are brought into
use.
Of course. those who accept such
invitations, and partake of the hospit-
Rlities of host and hostess, are ex-
pected to contribute to the collection
of'gifts that will grace the accession.

that the career of Roscoe Conkling
in public life draws to close. LII
health will probably be The excase
for giving up his career as Senator,
but it is known by his friends that
Mr.. Conkling feels keenly the ham
pered position which he is put in
by his meager salary as a Senator.
After paying necessary expenses,
clerk hire and postage, he has less
than $4,000 year-about as much.
he says, as he could make in two
weeks as lawyer. He wishes to
re-enter the profession, and to add to
his personal possessions. Were it
not that there is Democratic Gov
ernor to appoint Senator in his
place he would probably resign at
once. But he may wait until the
close Of his term, in order to give
the Republicans a chance to recover
the State Of New York. At any
rate, Mr.. Conkling does not expect
to remain very long in public life.

The Electoral College.

tract in the Senate the other day toI
show how utterly the Electoral College
comes shert of representing the body of
the people or the public sentiment Of
the whole aation in Presidential cleo
tioDs:
The following statement of the result
in The different Presidential electlonsI
from 1879 back to 1874 will establish the
Truth q wat we have said:
In 1872 General Grant received So per
cent Of The votes of the people; in the
Electoral College he received 81 per
cent.
In 1858 General Grantsrecelved 81 per
per cent oil the popular vote, and 73 per
cent. Ut the electoral vote.
In 1854 hr, Lincoln received IS per
cent. OF th. populcr vote, and 81 PEI
cent # the electoral vote
In 1860 Mr.. Lincoln received only 40
per cent of the popular vote; be re-
ceived 30 per cent of the electoral vote.
tn 1856 Mr.. Buchanan received only
45 per cent. of the popular vote; he -e-
celved SO per cent. of the electoral vote
In this election Fillmore received %
er cent. of the popular vote, and only
2 per cent. of the electoral vote; but
fourteen of his triends we've elected to
Congress.
In 1852 Pierce received SO per cent. of
the popular vote, and s. per cent, Of the
electoral vote.
In 1848 General Taylor received At
per cent, Of the popular vote and GO Der
cent. Of the electoral vote. AT this
election Mr.. Van Buren, received about
10 Per cent. of the popular vote and re-
ceived no electoral vote, but three of his
friends were elected 10 the House of
Representatives.
In 1874, Mr.. Polk received net quite
so per cert. Of the popular vote. He
receivg@t2 per cent. Of the electoral
vote.
To illustrate the operation of the dis
trict system, we will consider the re-
suits Of the elections for President and
for members Of Congress in the four
States of Pennsylvania, Ohio, indiana
and Illinois, from 1850 to 1872.
These States voted solidiy for Mr.. Lin
coin in 1860, casting "a electoral votes.
Al the same election they returned six
ty-six members of Congress, of whom
twenty-four were Democrats.
In 1884 the same States cast 70 elect
oral votes for Mr.. Lincoln again, and
elected the same year sixty-eight mem
bers of Congress. of whom sixteen were
Democrats.
In 1858 the same States threw IS elect
oral votes solldly for General Grant,
and elected sixtj eight msmbers of Con-
grss>, of whom TWENTY-FIVE were Demo-
Gratis
In 1879 the same States again voted
solidly, giving IS electoral votes to
General Grant, and elected II members
Of Congress, of whom 25 were Demo-
Gratis.
In these four States the Democratic
strength, as compared with the Repub-
lican, has been. about eight to ten, but
under the operation of the general
ticket system they had been wholly un-
represented in the Electoral Colleges;
but in the House of representatives.,
under the district system, they have
had an average of nearly one-third of
the members.
Take the State of New York alone for
the same period. In 1860 New York
cast her IS electoral votes solidly for
Mr.. Lincoln. Al the same time she
elected SO members OF Congress, of

why Promising Mining Camp Re-
mains UndevelOpsd.

A correspondent of the Silver CITY
Avalanche, writing from South Mount
ain, says: The hope that our camp
would rise like the Phoenix from its
sacred ashes Was, / regret to say, a
snare and a delusion. 1t is said that
the failure of the new company to com.
menee working here is due to the poll
cy of well known capitalist of San
FRANCISCO who owns controlling in
terest OF the stock. This individual
refused to PIT up his share of the
working capital, his reason, it is
stated, being that he intends to starve
the sons Of - guns out The boys,
howeyes, are determined that he shall
not succeed in his laudable designs,
and they will continue to 'hold the
fort" IL the future as they have done in
the past. SO long as there is game in
the mountains or the boys can go down
in the valley aud work for their Winter
supply of beef, potatoes and -four, they
will stand of" their benevolent
friend in Frisco. They are deter
mined to hold their own, come what
may. and as they have right on their
side they will not succumb. 1t is de-
plorable that one of the most promis-
ing camps on the coast must remain
undeveloped by the caprice of one
man; but there is an end to all things
mundane, and SO l suppose there will
be an end to our friends hostility, and
he will graciously ALLOW the camp to
start, If the money to work his interest
is put up by some one else

Committing sentences.

The Tuscarora papers say petition
is being signed in that town praying
the Board of Pardons to commute the
sentence of r. H. Crozier from death
to imprisonment for life. A similar
petition was circulated here and nu-
inerously signed in the Huff case. The
fac. that petitions of this character are
signed by nearly everybody, proves
that public sentiment is against capital
punishment except in rare cases.
Though the Board of Pardons refused
to commute the sentence of Huff by a
vote of three to two, it is now stated
that one of the tAree may reconsider
his vote and stop the execution. There
is evidently some grounds for this be-
lief as the authorities at Carson tele-
graphed here last Saturday for a copy
of his sentence.
