American social circles. For our

wiIl-aid rot ours. We fell into
thus habit, rs t" women, ly sense
OF fair play pressing upon us tho
fact that such is tie treatment
awarded men. ii II Senator NAV be
shot out of Il friends house from the
muzAc of louhlc-hamcled shot

with honorable men and delicate wo.
mon, why may not Il poor actress
select tue father or fathers of her
children and live? Mind. we arc
no. advocating any such immoral
conduct. We would that all women
were like Susan i. Anthony, who
sat virtuouslv on i'ilton's knee, &C.
cording 10 Bessie Turner; and that
all men were chastc as Whitclaw
Reid. Rut il this may not be-if
this sad world CT ours will go its
wicked ways-we believe in accord
ing women the same freedom given
the men. We notice that somo of
the New York papers give Sarah
Bernlardt notice that she cannot
reXpect to be accorded the receptions
and countenance here of good So
ciety. The trouble attending this
moral guardianship Of our first class
the upper two dozenis that Sar-
all comes to us with the endorsement
of the English nobility. Our upper
two dozen take color from tho ac-
knowledSed arstocracy of the Old
World. We speak from II point of
observation that entities us to hear
ing Our upper few--to use plain
language care cent as to
how many children by unknown
fathers II woman may have who has
been smiled upon by the Prince of
Wales and the titled people of Eng
land. We have seen IL second class
actress, whose past was covered by
obscurity, petted and praised in the
most eXtravagant manner because
she pretixed Countess to her name.
We have seen u woman VIGOROUSLY
provided for by an eminent Euro
pean diplomat leader of society
here. We might multiply iIlustra-
tons, but two are sufficient. We
have no wish to assail or underrate
tho moral tone of our fashionable
class. We recognize it rs high
very high indeed but not so high
and potent rs its snobbery. We can
assure Sarah, with her several fami-
lies, that she has nothing to fear"
WE "Cooperheads" an emf
nent authority now styles our party
assocates-tind much amusement in
noting the efforts made by the rival
factions Of the Republican party to
capture Gov. Newell. He is liter
ally between two fires. The Boilers
lay claim by Il sort of right of dis
covery, while the simon-pure parts
ans expect him to step into the ranks
by virtue of their superior might,
which in all cases in their vocabulary
means right. The former have our
sympathies inasmuch as they have
been fighting with us to abolish the
odious rule of corrupt ring, but a
feeling of friendship for the Govern
or, even on such short acquaintance,
restrains us from advising II course
which would lead to his ruin. The
edicts of the " Federal ring" consti-
tute the political law, to which oil
must bow. Intellect must acknoWl-
edge its imperious will, and honor
and fame won on a thousand battle
| fields politicaD are as nou.h', where
they conflict with its peculiar ideas
i of duty. They are literal wheels OF
Juggernaut in crushing the victims
under it's ban. The only safe thing
for the Governor to do is to como
