represents Abraham Lincoln ut long
table, surrounded by his cabinet. Let
history record that this first feminine
seat in congress was bought by Mrs. O.
Thompson, OF Boston, for the sum of
81, 900. Only u temporary seat, but
proves what women will do when they
have incomes like Senator sharon, and
the resources commanded by other dis
tinguished statesmen, who are found
in either branch Of the congressional
service. II Is not claimed that Mrs.
Thompson has q ''seat"-she Is merely
entitled to the privilege of the floor. ~
But this means that she can occupy the
"iloor" ut either end OF the capitol SO
long as she Is permitted to live. There
are always plenty of chairs. She has
exactly the rights OF a delegate of a
territory. We will suppose that Susan
B. Anthony or Cady Stanton had bought
the seat instead Of Mrs. Thompson.

Of Judge Field, that his letter of re-

really regretful. In fact, we are told,
1t was simply n brief declination, with
out any expression of feeling toward
Shepherd. But 1t is admitted that
Beverly Tucker, who has hitherto been
the most active and efficient promoter
Of Fields campaign, was present at
the banquet and made a very eloquent
speech in honor Of the great public rob-
her and boss OF Washington.

made on the body Of Hart, but no evil

appointed, consisting Of settlers resid-
ing on lands not within the railroad
grant, and unconnected with the league,
to endeavor to effect compromise

to permit the commission OF no overt
act, but will continue TO hold their
homes at any cost.
