How woman suffrage Works in Kan.
Rak.

A Hoosier sees in Kansas many new
and unfamiliar sights, but none more in
teresting than that of the ladies voting.
They have the privilege of voting in all
matters pertaining to schools. As far as
my observation goes, the ladies here have
minds of their own. they neither vote
for the "handsomest man" nor the one
their husbands tell them to vote for, un-
less the candidate is, in their own opin-
ion, the proper one. Their votes cannot
be bought. They are universally on the
side of morality and temperance: hence
the workers in the temperance cause are
warm advocates of equal suffrage. Elec-
ton days pass quietly. If there is any
drinking or lighting done, it is not at the
polls. Everything is orderly there, not
wltnstahding contrary reports circulated
oy antl-sutfragists in the eastern States
Candldates keep carriages running for
the accommodation of the ladies, but a
great many walk up and deposit their
votes. AS the result SO far. has been
very satisfactory, even to the men. il will
probably be but short time until equal
suffrage is granted. The gentlemen show
their gallantry and faith in the ability of
the ladies by appointing them to office,
The enrolling clerks of the Legislature
are ladies, also large proportion of the
county superintendents, who in every in
stance, discharge their duties in man.
ner that gives universal satisfaction
Women are not so plenty here as in Indi-
ana. Perhaps that is the reason they are
SO well respected and protected. They
are scarce enough to be precious. In

The sad Condition of Presidential
Candidates.

Philadelphia Times.
Those who love to listen to the mock
ingbird hear some first-class ditties about
the Presidential candidates just now.
Tilden is a paralytic wreck; Thurman
will die of general goneness and gout be-
fore 1880; Bayard's constitution is up
torn by the roots through nightly squalls
of nine cribsful of children and fncessant
flashes of the tOothache, while Conkling,
the swell statesman, is likely to burst at
any moment. AS for General Grant,
that hero is as crazy as loon or his broth
er Orville-a fact which has Just come to
light. ''W. II. R,'' Washington CORES
pondent of the New Orleans Times, writes
to his journal, under date of the Sth
inst, that General Grants mind is seri-
ously impaired. The correspondent de-
clares that he has it from confidential
friends of the Grant family. The ex-
President, while in Germany, consulted
noted surgeon, who gave it as his opin-
ion that relief from all mental labor
could save the General from insanity.
There was a scandal about Grant in one
of the Spanish papers to the effect that he
was intoxicated while at the Escurial,
and this scandal was explained away to
the Spanish cou,t by an acknowledge
ment on the part of Grants friends of the
Generals lamentable condition.

Prior to the rebellion the Democratic
party said it was right, constitutional and
lawful to send the army of the United
States into every State north of Mason
and DixOn's line to aid in capturing fugi-
tive slaves. No Northern mans home
was safe in those Democratic days from
army intrusion if he gave shelter to poor,
painting fugitive who was trying to reach
British soil and freedom. The men who
constituted the class from which fugitives
came in those days are now freemen, and
entitled to vote. This has brought down
on them the wrath of the men who resort
ed to rebellion to make slavery perpetual
and universal. They resort to every
known crime to deprive the colored man
of the right and power of a free ballot,
and the entire Democracy declare that not
soldier shall be used for their protec-
tion; no, not even to prevent a riot at the
polls, organized to keep men from voting
Any number of soldiers to capture and
return men to slavery, but not one soldier
to protect citizen in his right to vote,
and to prevent him from being killed for
attempting to exercise this most sacred
| right. The Democracy was solid for
slavery, and now it is solid against liber-
| ty.-Burlin0ton Haa0keye.

THE Democrats of Cincinnati thought
for brief space of time that they would
be able to show that Jacob, the newly
elected Mayor Of Cincinnati, was ineligi-
Bile to the office, claiming that he had
never been naturalized. But Jacob was
able to come to time and convince them
that he had his naturalization papers.
Then they claimed that he was still ineli-
gible, because, as they claimed, he was
naturalized few days before he was 81
years old. This claim was set up on the
irresponsible authority of some publica-
ton made in relation to the Jacob family,
many years since; but Jacob has his nat
uralization papers, all legally made out
and d'recorded, and has been legally elect
ed Mayor of Cincinnati and has his GER
tifcate of election, and it is a little too
late for the disconsolate Democracy to
throw him overheard and put a Demo.
cratin his place.
