UNGALLANT.

Ungallant Boston conferred the right
of voting upon the women OF that city
in the last election for school officers,
and then deliberately defeated all the
female candidates on the ticket.
Not only so. bat the women them
selves, it appears, helped swell the ma
jority against the candidates OF their
own sex. The result seems to confirm
the current opinion that if female
suffrage was the rule, they wouldvote the
same way rs the male members oil their
families. The exception would only be in
the case OF a prohibitory liquor law.
For such measure they would proba-
bly vste solid-ii they were all married,
and Of course no unmarried woman
would so far compromise herself upon
the question Of age as to appear at the
polls.
This was the first time in the history
Of Boston that women have exercised
the fl2lL 10 VOC, ailiib't-li NAaS l"No'A'''
has been agitated there more than in all
the other cities Of the country. Only
about one thousand out OF the whole
population ayailed themselves OF the
"inestimable right"
The result of the experiment makes
two points prominent. The first, that
women, very naturally and very proper
", don't crave the right OF suffrage to
any general extent; and secondly, that
they "win more from sulIerance than SUI
irage." When voters consider that the
candidacy OF woman means an appealto
their gailantry, her chances seem to be
much better than when they look upon
her as competitor working by the same
methods and for the same ends as
themselves. Just rs was the case in
the acknowledgements OF the negro, the
masses were disposed to project him
when me was deprived OF suffrage, but
when he became their competitor at the
polls, ne also became, to a greater or
less extent, a political target.

Another Appeal 20 the Mayor Enforce
the Sunday Laws.


the Sunday Laws,
Correspondence Of the REGISTER.
Now that the attention OF the Mayor
has been aroused by the public demand
that the Sabbath ordinances shall be en-
forced, will he not 60 one step further
and inform your readers why it is that
so many establishments ON Market
street are allowed to keep open on sun
day, and why the crowds OF young men
who iniest the same street on Sunday
evenings, standing in groups and OBJ
structing the sidewalks, are not dis
persad2 This latter practice, with its
tobacco smoking and splitting, with its
profanity and insulting criticism
upon ladies' in passing, has grown
to be, through the neglect
or incompetency Of the city officials, not
only an ANNOYANCE, but an iusuiierabIe
nuisance. Hitherto the Mayor has sus-
tanned the reputation OF being an excel
lent officer, and we are sorry That IN one
case, at least he has been caught nap
ping. We like the Mayor and feel sure
that lie means to do his duty. All that
is necessary Tor the public TO do 10 Sc
cure proper enforcement of the city
ordinances, is to demandi it imperatively
and persistently, and it will be done.
Let every good citizen boldly and fear
lesslv do his duty. Let him stand up
resoiutely for maintaining the good or
der and decorum due to the Christian
Sabbath. Let us, at all hazards, have
LAW AND ORDER.

mort relative 10 the re-euacting OF Il
Bankrupt law. The report holds that,
in such re-enactment, there are two car
dinal features which should be- fully rec
ognized, viz: First, that expenses IN
Cured in the administration OF the law
should be reduced to the lowest possible
figure according to fixed schedule Of
charges; second, that all exemptions al
lowed 10 debtors should be particularly
specified in such law, and should be in
lieu Of all State exemptions. \ third
cardinal feature might be stated to be
that we do not need any at al! in a sea-
son OF rising prosperity.
