a Battle Creek correspondence says: son
the I'd inst. Capt. Amos Rowley, OF San Fran
cisco, Cal, came here on visit TO the relatives
whom he had not heard from in thirty years.
lie is a brother Of Spencer Rowley, who former
ly lived IN Barry county, and who died in the
army during the war. Amos Rowley left his
home in Georgia some thirty years ago. 1t was
supposed that he was shipwrecked and lost at
sea. as he was never heard OF until he unexpect-
edly put IN his appearance on the I'd inst. Ac-
cidentally he met In San Francisco Mr. Charles
Byrne, who married sister OF his brother 8
wife. From Byrne he learned that Battle Creek
was the dwelling place OF his brothers children,
and he started for this CITY, He has been
stopping with Mrs. Susan Robinson, corner Of
West and Champion streets, who is mother OF
his brothers wife, now deceased. Last Mon
day night he retired as usual. and on Tuesday
morning got mp about four O'clock It is sup
posed. to take walk down town, since which
time no has not been seen or heard OF. The
captain is reported to be quite wealthy, and 1t
is feared that there has been foul play. His
disappearance is certainly very mysterious,
The officers have been notified. and ii is hoped
that the mystery will soon be cleared up.

We have received letter from Miss Phebe
Couzins, in which she writes as follows con-
corning her recent "speech" at a prayer meet
ing in one of the st. Louis churches. We
commend 1t to the perusal of our readers
my tilt with the preacher has stirred the
mipist erial circles not little and am to be
challenged 1 understand to make good some
Of my assertions. But am so we'll fortified,
having all Scripture ON my side, that fear they
will come out OF the scrimmage not little DIS
comfited. You see 1t is impossible for them to
hold to their argument, If they go by their own
Interpretation of the scriptures. l have had
congratulations far and near, for the stand
took, showing that society is only waiting for
good leader. to throw aside all those old pagan
ideas which the Church imbibed concerning
women, and which has kept her in bondage
these many ages, and to recognize, as she
should have been recognized generations ago,
the grand mother Of the race AS equal with
man in all opportunity and ability, When
think OF what the Church has done to forge
theschalns OF dependence and ignorance upon
women, | am almost filled with contempt for
its slavsh submission to the teachings of those
men, the monks OF the earlier ages, who taught
and regarded women as the gateway to hell,
instead of coming out and preaching for her
the broad liberty OF Christ individual liberty
and individual responsibility. Christs creed
was, Love to God and thy neighbor his rule,
the golden one; his teachings. in honor to
prefer one another his charge, to cultivate all
the talents given u.s. lest we be found barren
fruIt,-lamps without oil,-hghts under BUSH
e and not on the hilltop. And yet see how
the Church has closed her mouth. and sealed
her lps,-barred Ter way to all intellectual
progress her right to the highest attainment,
because Paul, borrowing the old pagan Greek
idea that ignorance was badge OF virtue, and
intelligence a mark Of wee, handed 1t down to
be stumbling block, to those wilfuly blind,
throughout the generations. And then If their
teachings are true, they have been intoxicating
state or condition for eighteen hundred years
that Is utterly without foundation. For 1t was
distinctly taught, both before and after the
coming OF Christ, that the bruising OF the SER
pent's head through the seed OF the woman,
was to be the sign Of the removal OF her curse,
sUBJEcrIoN. And here with eighteen centuries
OF freedom already over her head, they yet
preach the old jewish dispensation and slavery
for her hail the dawn of womau's intell-
gent Interpretation of the Scriptures-there
will be some rafting among the dry bones OF
these old theological dogmas, when, armed and
equipped in the panoply of dignifed, intell-
gent noble womanbood, she win proclaim from
pulpit and platform and press, The earth is
the Lords, and am one Of the rightful heirs
to the fullness thereof" The day has gone by
when the old scarecrow and cry can be raised
against those who rebel from dogmas and seek

The St. LOuis Fire

Another crime against humanity has been
consummated. For long time it has been
in posse. The public will surely wake up
to their rights now, and see that all hotels
have abundant means Of egress-not when
there is no fire, but when the flames are
rising through the elevator, and when one
half the house itself is ablaZe with fire.
Suppose fire had occurred in this South
ern Hotel whilst the National Democratic
Convention was in session last June, and
its rooms crowded to oyerfowing. The
entire country would have been appalled, at
the result. But it needs no words Of ours
to arouse the sympathies Of VIrginians for
the stricken hearts now in st. Louis. That
city is full OF Virginians, and Of Vrginians
who are warmly attached to the Old Do
ninion. With them, Richmond cannot but
sympathize, and, il need be, aid the be-
reaycd amongst them.

WOMAN SUFFRAGE.--The operation of the
reconstruction measures informs the world
practically as to what would likely be the
effect OF woman suffrage. When some
sumptnary law was passed by legislature
elected by the votes of women and men in
petticoats, the real men OF the country
would refuse to obey the law, and the a,l-
thors of it would, like CHAMBERi.A,N, have
nobody to back them who had manhood
enough to carry a musket. Women's laws
and women's Governors wouldn't be able

A Relic of the Electoral Commission.

"A Relic of the Electoral Commission.
THE ARGUMENTS or THE COMMISSIONERS PUB
IISHED-TIIE REASONS THAT CONTROLLED
JUDGE BRADLEY
WASHINGTON, ID. c., April 10.-Thc Con-
| qressional Record, issued to-day, makes 4
Volume of los pages, covering the remarks
OF the members of the Electoral CommlS-
sio1r in the consultations thereof, as re-
duced to writing by themselves, in accord
ancc with the resolution of the Commission.
| Associate Justice Bradley, who was so often
specifically referred to by the press, took
the ground that Congress cannot institute
scrutiny into the appointment OF electors Ola
State 1t would be taking it out of the hands
OF State to which Improperly belongs. rms
never could have been contemplated by the
pcoDe of the States when they agreed to the
Constitution. 1t would be going one step
further back than that instrument allows.
1t is the business and jurisdiction OF the
State to prevent frauds from being pcrpe-
trated in the appointment OF its electors,
and not the business or jurisdiction OF Con-
gress. The State is sovereign power
within Its own jurisdiction, and Congress
can no more control or review the exercise
OF that Jurisdiction than it cam that OF
foreign Government.
The investigations made by legislative coin
mitteeS, in the loose manner III which they
are usually made, are not only not adapted
| to the proper asccrtainmcnt OF the truth for
such purpose, but are totally unauthor-
lied by the Constitution. AS methods OF
inquiry for ordinary Legislative purposes.
or for the purpose OF laying the foundation
of resolution for bringing in an impeach-
ment OF the President for unconstitutional
interference, Of course they are competent,
but not for the, purpose OF receiving or re-
| iecting the vote OF State for the pre-
| sidential office. They, arc: not made such
by any constitutional provision Or by
any law. Legislation may be based on
the private knowledge OF members, and
resolution to bring in an impeachment may
rest on eg-parte affidayits or on generalinlor-
nation, and therefore the evidence taken
| by committee cannot be deemed incompe-
| tent for such purpose, but is often OF great
service in giving information to the houses
and legislative bodies, and to the House OF
Representatives US the grand inquest of the
| nation. But the decision to receive or re-
! ject the vote of State is a final decision on
the right OF the State in that behalf, and OF a
most solemn and delicate nature, and cannot
properly be based Oh the dispositions OF
witnesses gathered in the drag-net OF con-
gressional committee. -.... -.u'. -.
