This Territory, as is well known, is the only
locality in the United States where women
vote tho same as men. The idea that led to
its adoption was, first, that Wyoming, being
the youngest of all tho States and iferrito-
RES, should be progressive, up with all ad-
Vancement, and nevOr disposed to look back
ward; and, second, to- throw into politics an
element to aid In counter balancing the infm-
enc" OF tie roughs, thieves, cut-throats and
highWaYmen. who then constituted q large
share Of the population. SINCE that time a
fair trial Of the institution has not developed
sufficient or Importance in the voting Of the
women to prompt any one to move for q re-
peal OF tho law. / believe only one woman in
the Territory was eve elected to office by the
people, and now no offices are ever demanded
by the fair sex, except some stnecure places
ID III me Inc legislature where the pay
rendered. In the casting of votes the
women do not figure extensively
except on very rare occasions. There Is q
certain class. however, who always vote,
and, being themselves disreputable charac-
tors, they always throw their su1rages to the
worst men on the ticket. The publication of
politics is not to their interest In other
cases, the members OF some certain church or
other society desire one Of their number
elected to some office, and then the women Of
that organization turn out and cast their
votes solid for the designated man. Proba- |
bly, half the women in Cheyenne have never |
cast q vote since the first or second election |
after the law was passed. At first it was Gus
tomary for carriages to visit all the resi- |
dences on election days and convey the ladies |
to the polls in the interest of certain cand- |
dates, but that fashion is now almost @ dead |
letter There is a separate polling place for
the women to vote. and they are treated like |
ladies, being free from insults or iostling; SO
that mixing. with the mob cannot be tho
cause, Of their lack Of interest in elections,
put that politics is out of their legitimate
sphere. A & the aIOptiOn of the ueacI1re horc
has amounted to so little, your correspond |
ent can see little in it to praise or condemn |
except that 1t has given the INSCRIPTIONS
polltclans chance to use "the women of the
town" together with the variety women, to
further projects and men of the worst char
aCtcr.

noble earl, in the interests of parlia-
mentary government, to which he
is attached, and of the regularity of
the proceedings of our Government,
not to give the sanction of his au-
thority to this plan of discussing
what has passed in the Cabinet.
Earl Granville must rise to or
der again. / said not one single
world as to revelations made in the
Cabinet, but / have the right which
any individual member of your
LOrdship's House possesses, when
unparliamentary language is used,
to rise and protest against it. l
have not the slightest doubt that it
is unparIiamentary for one peer to
state of another-whether his late
colleague or not-that what he said
was not true, and / protest against
any other inference being drawn
from what stated.
The Marquis of Salisbury only
repeat my assertion, my lords, that
/ did not intend to make, and / do
not think / did make, any imputa-
ton against the veracity of the noble
earl, although, no doubt, / made
statement he made. That being
the case, my lords, l will now go to
the question of policy.
The Earl of Derby-My lords, /
wish to be allowed to say one word.
My noble friend has made a state
ment which, although l readily
accept his correction of the words
when he said he did not intend to
charge me with anything more than
an inaccurate recollection, appeared
| to carry the meaning considerably
] further. Everyone knows that the
business which is discussed at Cabi-
net Councils is not put on paper,
and, therefore, there may be cOnsid-
cradle confusion and doubt in ones
recollection of what has been said at
a Cabinet Council. But / am still
of opinion that that which / stated
an hour and half ago represented
truly what occurred. That / have
made statement according to the
best of my recollection / am sure
your lOrdships will not doubt.
(Cheers.) Foreseeing the possibility
of having to give an explanation in
connection with the subject, / have
made a memorandum of what /
understood to be the effect Of what
had been said with reference to it.
The Marquis of Salisbury-If the
noble earl imagines that what have
said at all impugns his veracity, OF
course / am bound to withdraw any
statement which may bear that in
depreciation. (Hear.) l made nc
such imputation. (Hear.)

ton of Mr.. Hewitt's veracity, we
decline entering upon that as being
of no interest to mortal man.
Mr.. Tilden, then, was opposed to
the electoral bill which for long
time he has been supposed to favor.
Are we therefore to look upon him
as a martyr and victim of misrep-
resentation for these last eighteen
months, only vindicated at last by
Manton Marbles statement And,
so contemplating him. are we ex-
pected to gush with commiseration
and sympathy? We never were
much at gush, and, looking at the
matter in our own prosaic way, we
fail to see why Mr.. Tilden should
have allowed his views to have been
misrepresented all this time when a
single word addressed to a friendly
Congressman or editor would have
set him right before the world.
Next, how does it affect Mr..
Hewitt? We won't go into the
question Of veracity. Mr.. Hewitt is
exactly to the Democratic party
what Mr.. Stanley Matthews is to
the Republicans, a born jntriguer, a
man, like Macaulay's description
of Charles l., with an incOrrigible
propensity to crooked ways; mat
tiers that can be settled by one sen
tence of plain common sense are to
such men the material for spinning
interminable cObwebs of finely
drawn intrigue.
And now for Mr.. Henry Waiter
son; how does it affect him? He
has certainly corrected paragraph
of a section of a chapter in history,
that history being the most humili-
ating episode in our national annals.
For this we thank him, history be.
ing a speciality with us; but that is
not what Watterson has been after
all these three months. 1t was not
as a reViser of the United States his
tory that he pushed his controversy
with Hewitt so closely to the verge
of the pistols and coffee crisis; not
the past but the future was in Wat
terson's head at the time, and that
future bore special reference to the

1t won't do, neighbor, Mr.. TildeI

Terrible RaiIroad Collision

A collision, attended with an ap-
palling amount of death and suffer
ing, occurred on Wednesday, August
eth, on the Pittsburg, Cincinnati &
st. Louis railroad. A freight train
was run into by the fast line passen-
ger train at a point near Steuben-
vile, about a mile and a half west
of Mings' Junction, Ohio. We give
the two latest dispatches:
PITTSBURGH, PA, Aug. 1.-THE
fast line on the Pittsburgh, Cincin-
natl & st. Louis railroad, which left
this city at AT last night, met with
a terrible accident at a point one
and half miles west of Mings'
Junction, Ohio. The train was
composed of two slecpers, one hotel
car, one baggage, two postal ears
and two coaches, the latter being
occupied by emigrants. AT one
o'clock this morning, at the point
named, the fast train, which was
twenty minutes behind time, and
running at the rate of forty miles an
hour, cOllided with freight train.
The entire train, except the hotel
car and sleepers, was thrown from
the track and fearfully wrecked.
Eleven or twelve persons are re-
ported killed, and fifteen to twenty
seriously wounded. Nonames have
yet been received. All the passen-
gers in the sleepers escaped without
serious injury, the loss of life being
confined to the forward cars Occu-
pied by postal clerks and emigrants.

posted in the actual occurrences of
that neighborhood. We have no
idea who your regular correspond
ent is that has SO neglected his duty,
but must inform friend Atimo that,
had it not been for the intervention
of some of his friends, there would
have been one of the greatest indig-
nation meetings held either at Ed
mondson's or Searcy's Ferry that
ever assembled in this county. Here
was, or rather would have been, the
programme: The winds gathered
around their king and begged of his
majesty to allow them to assail with
all fury the frail vessel that was to
bear Atimo from the north bank of
the Cumberland to his native South
side hills. The ire Of the king was
deeply stirred because of the neglect
of Atimo to mention the little
breezes Misses Heggie and Ussery
that first placed the crown of royalty
upon his kingly head. Powhatan,
the noble warrior, stood upon the
southern bank, brandishing his red
battle-axe high in the air and swear
ing by the Great Spirit that if Att
mo should escape the fury of the
winds he would have his scalp. He
warned his beautiful daughter, Po-
cahontas, not to intercede in the be-
half of AtimO as she had in that of
Capt. Smith, for it would be in vain.
There were others, said Powhatan,
who deserved the same honor as had
been accorded himself, viz: Ben.
Orgain, j. r. Ussery, Jas. Scruggs,
Eddie Ussery, John Steel and VIII.
Ussery. Along the road, in a south
erly direction, were posted Aunt
Betsy and her associates, and be-
tween Miss Lucy Lyle and Lizzie
Ussery, two other important char
acters who were neglected, sat a
basket of red apples heavily charged
with strychnine, something like the
one old Mother Eve gave to Adam.
We feel confident, Atimo, that this
last trick would have caught you il
you had escaped the winds and
warriors. They seem to understand
your weakness, from the fact, ! sup
pose, that they know you to have
been originally a fruit agent, anc
you could not go back upon the
fruits of your profession.
But as we have said, some of you
friends insisted that the omission
was unintentional, hence all the fai
participants, the king and even the
savage warrior will cordially wei
come Atimo again to the Antioch
entertainment to be given in Octo
Der next. Respectfully, No. II.

WATTERSON, HEWITT AND TIL
Den.

For some months NIeSSrs. Waiter
son and Hewitt have been engaged
in a controversy which at one time
blazed out into the pistols and coffee
style of rhetoric, though neither pis-
tolls nor coffee came of it. The OBJ
ject of this controversy was to deter
mine what were Mr.. Tilden's real
sentiments in January, 1877, in
reference to the plan of an Electoral
Commission to solve the problem OF
the disputed Presidential election.
Mr.. WattersOn accused Mr.. Hewitt
of wilfully classifying Mr.. Tilden's
views by representing them as IA
vOrable to the commission bill when
they were in fact decisively and
infieXihly adverse to it. Here a
question Of personal veracity arose
between the two gentlemen, into
the merits of which it would now
be superfluOus TO enquire. We pre-
termit the question whether Mr..
Hewitt did really so represent
things and content ourselves with
the question what Mr.. Tilden's
views really were.
A statement was published in the
New York papers on Monday by
Mr.. Manton Marble, editor of the
New York World, backed by the
original kilograms distinctly estab-
fishing the fact that Mr., Tilden was
from first to last opposed to any but
the constitutional mode of settling
the question, which was by the
House of Representatives adhering
firmly to its constitutional preroga-
tives and throwing on the Repub-
Iican Senators the responsibility of
inaugurating the usurping President
by the autocratic intervention OF
the President of the Senate.
So far Mr.. Watterson may no"
he considered to have fully estaD-
Iished his case; so far, that is, as ne
is shown truly to have represented
Mr.. Tilden's views. AS to the ques-

FROM ASHLAND CITY.

EDITORS CHRONICLE: Will you
again give me a place in your
columns? Last Monday being
county court day, and the peo-
pie being anxious to hear the re-
suit of Thursdays election, many
of them put in appearance and to
the establishment of all, the Hon.
Jno. F. House, our able and relia-
BILE representative in Congress was
on hand to give an account of his
stewardship. Although there had
been some disaffection manifested
in certain quarters with regard to
his vote on the electoral bill, think
he satisfied the most skeptical on
that score, with perhaps one excep-
ton. There had also been some
misunderstanding about his action
in the Constitutional Convention,
on the qualifications of voting coun-
ty and municipal aid to railroads.
Col. House read the resolutions
introduced by himself in that body
and without any apology whatever
he said that they were right in
principle, and defended his ac-
ton upon that subject as fully as
upon the other proposition. The
people had sat quietly and listened
attentively to all his speech without
any demonstration, further than
marked attention and approval of a
trusted representative, but, when
he was explaining his action in the
Constitutional Convention, he re-
ceived rounds of hearty cheers of
approval, showing clearly that the
heart of Cheatham was with him on
that subject. / had thought to give
your readers a synopsis of his speech
but as l write hurriedly, in antici-
patton of the starting of the mail, i
will not do so. Suffice it to say that
his constituents are satisfied with
him, and are again ready to vote
for him in preference to any other
man.
AS general thing our election
passed off quietly. So far as our
county offices are concerned, we
have an entire new deal, except that
G. w. Maxey, former sheriff, was
reelected. We had another pri,na-
ry in which some 600 votes were
cast, out of an entire vote Of 1906 in
the county; the largest vote by over
200 ever polled in the county. G.
w. McQuary and G. w. Hiland
were the only candidates before the
primary; yet several other candi-
dates were voted for, though all 9TH
ers publicly announced that they
would not submit to 1t. McQuary
received, as I am informed, 406
votes; and Inland about so, as well
as / remember. / do not know
what the primary men propose to
do. Whether the one will take his
little more than One-fonrth vote and
call it a nomination and run on it,
or whether new shuttle, cut and
deal will be insisted on. We will
find out by waiting. Yours as ever,
