The evidence as TO the practical working q

For nearly two years after woman SUI.

whose votes she WISHED to secure for her

for him.
On the other hand. Judge Kingman, OF
the Territorial Supreme Court of Wyom-
ing, is quoted as saying
N airy all the woman voters go to the
polls They generally take an interest in the
selection OF candidates and it is very com
mon now. in considering tho availability Of
an aspirant for Office To ask, How docs he
stand with the ladies Frequently the
men set aside certain applicants for Office
because their character would not stand the
criticism OF women. The women manifest
q great deal Of independence in their pref
ly defeated bad nominations. Tne Oppos-
ton to woman suffrage at first was pretty
bitter but public sentiment has changed.
This change Of sentiment is 80 general that no
attempt To repeal the law would now avail.

Women sometimes hold Office, not very
often. They very often serve on school com
nIttecs, in some cases have been elected
county clerk. and IN several cases have
served As justices OF the peace. A jurors,
women have done excellent service. IL is
proper to add in this connection, however.
that women have not recently been empan-
neled a. jurors. In now country, where it
is impossible to obtain hired help, very few
women can be spared from their domestic
duties. 1t has been said that the delicate
and cultured women would shrink away,
and the bold and indicate come to the

OF the kind has happened.

Der Of the committee to have the lnyestlga-
ton conducted with open doors. Senators
Bayard and Herman supported the motion.
Senator Hoar replied, making the point that
it has been the universal custom IN
all similar Investigations held by the
Senate to leave the matter of open
or secret sessions to the discretion
of the committee ITSELF and that even
in the courts it is customary and necessary,
in order that the ends of justice may be at
tanned, that preliminary Investigations shall
be held in secret. Mr.. Eustis, of Louisiana,
and Ransom, of South Carolina, made sweep
ing denials of any untairness, prescription,
or intimidation at the South. That, ii these
Senators are correct, is the region in which
the d" right OF every voter to cast one IN
inundated ballot, and to have that ballot
honestly counted"-to use the words Of
President Hayes-is most fully exercised.
But Mr.. Davis resolution was also lost, IS
to 90. An amendment was moved by Sen
ator Conkling, as member of the Judiciary
Committee, in the absence of Mr.. Edmunds,
that the investigation be conducted by
special committee of nine Senators, instead
OF by the Judiciary Committee. Mr.. Conk-
ling expressed his belief that the inyestiga-
ton ought to take place, and thought the
matter of too much importance to be in
trusted TO a committee already oyer-burder-
Ell with other business. This amendment
was supported indirectly by Mr.. Blaine him
self, and adopted by vote Of 80 to IS. Mr..
Blaine will be chairman of the special COM
mittee, aud it is altogether likely that the
facts of the recent elections in South Caro-
lima and Louisiana, and other Southern
States, will be fully and fairly brought out.

The New Divorce Law .

By the old law it was enough for the one
party seeking divorce to have lived in the
State two years and in the county one year
before petitiOning for divorce. By the new
law both husband and wife must have lived
together in this State, and the libellant for
at least one full year, before divorce, and
one of them must have been resident at TIE
time the cause for divorce happened. The
causes Of divorce remain the same as under
the old law. bat hereafter the libellee cannot
marry another person than the petitioner for
the period Of three years, under penalty ci
imprisonment in the State prison for not
less than one, nor more than five
years. The law makes it more difficult
for people outside the State to come
into Vermont for the purpose of obtaining
divorces, ard the inducement to obtain e d.
vorce for the purpose of contracting another
marriage is in part removed by the provision
that the guilty party cannot marry for three
years We look for some reduction in the
number Of divorces granted, under the new
law how much, it is difficult to tell. The
Chronicle says; at is thought by those in
position to understand the opinion Of the
Legislature that much stronger divorce law
would have passed the House, and even the
Senate, but for the opposition of most Of the
LAWYERS, We have as vet heard no good req
son for the delay of the Senate committee by
