FEMALE LAWYERS NOT ADMIssABLE-Mrs.
Belva A. Lockwood, the well-known female
lawyer, of Washington, appeared In the cor
ton to Judge Stuart for admission to practice
at the bar. The judge, after considering the
matter, decided that the act Of 1s49 did not
allow qualification Of females as officers, and
that fnasmuch as the position Of attorney was,
to certain extent, an Office, he would decline
to allow Mrs. Lockwood to qualify. Woman,
resident OF this state, are not eligible to the
position OF attorney at law, and he was unable
to see why the mere fact of non-residence
should qualify them. 1t is contrary to the
spirit and policy OF our state institutions for
women to hold public positions, and he would
not admit them to practice In this court until
either the legislature in express terms or the
court of appeals required it.

A PRIVATE LETTER FROM MEMPHIS.
The following extracts from private letter,
written by lady formerly resident Of this

wrote you, and were glad to meet him, and
then he came again once. and then again. AS
soon as the fever broke out here he came around
to ask US what what we intended to do. Hear

to use every prudent precaution. We sent three
times day to see how he was getting along.
Last night, at dark, we heard at the mouse that
the doctor said he would "pull through This

Street Distractions Winked at by the
Authorities.

Mr.. Edit0r:-Permit me to ask the authorities
whether the law to prohibit distractions was
intended to be enforced only on certain streets
and pavements. If not, why do they neglect
their duty? The distractions / wish to COM
plain OF are On Louisiana avenue, between 9th
and 10th streets This street faces our main
street, its foot-pavements being nearly so feet
wide and yet 1t Is almost impossible to pass or
walk on this wide pavement without the risk of
having your clothes torn off by the barrels,
benches, boxes, &C., that are carelessly strewn
over it. Some parties have erected permanent
half way across the foot-pavement. By what
authority was this done? Why, some Of the
dealers along this square make regular store
no stores; and some of those having stores
bring their goods out every morning and dis
play them, without regard to the rights of the
passer to any passage-way whatsoever.

be necessary to provide for the settlement of
three classes Of private claims:
l. Of the otc'ers Of Edsby's Point, and, on the
Virginia side Grdrelly Point-Tha titles being
undisputed, SO much OF the Land as may be ne
ceSsaIily taken should be condemned and fair
compensation given.
ttceen the Mall and the Arsenal-The claimants
say they own the lots on the north side OF
Water street, and that the wharf privileges on
the south side OF that street are appurtenant to
MED on behalf CT the United States, on the the
DRY that the United States Is the owner Of
Water street, and, consequently, the only rlpa-
Ran proprietor; that Water street and its ap-
purtenant wharveS were originally dedicated as
palt OF the permanent commercial front Of the
city; that it and they cannot be made the SUBJ
ever by the United States in trust for the pub
Tic as part of the entrance from the river high
way to the national capital. AS this whole
instance, at an early day, will say nothing on
its merits. All that need be said on the matter
in connection with our subject, Is that, what.
ever may be the result OF the litigation, Con-
gress should not leave any OF this most impor-
tant part OF the commercial front of Washing
ton City In the hands Of private parties, with
the right either to monopolize whaives or tax
our commerce for their individual gain. YES
sells visiting our city should pay no larger
amount of fees than are required to keep the
wharves in repair and other expenses Incidental
TO the wharf management. Our commerce
should be encouraged, not burdened. AS the
United States now holds many of the wharves
through their leSsees, 1t would not be very ex-
pensive to acquire the rest, and, If necessary,
by eminent domain.
III. Ofthe Claimants Of Ktdicelrs Flats.-These
gentlemen Il am told there are more than
twenty, but have never heard the names OF
more than two-very respectable citizens they
are) claim the ownership, under patent duly
granted, December G, 1869, by the United States,
OF forty seven and seventy one-hundredths
acres, lying in the flats south and southeast of
Easby's Point. They claim also the right to
enter (having taken all the necessary steps for
that purpose) all the rest Of the flats north and
south of Long Bridge to the point near the
mouth OF the Anacostia-fn all somewhat more
than one thousand acres!!
The first emotion of citizen, on learning that
Government Department has issued patent
for a part OF our harbor, is one of painful aston
isbment: his second is of thankfulness that DR..
kidwell and his associates, While they, so far as
appears, might have done it, did not take out
patents for the Mall, the White lot, Lafayette
square, and the Capitol grounds
In my next will try to show why they took
out patent for the harbor flats, instead OF the
other public reservations. w. B.
