WOMAN SUFFRAGE IN NEW YORK.

~
The work of extending the suffrage to
women is beset with difficulties. The first
and greatest obstruction TO success is the
indifference of women generally upon the
subject II the women of this country were
less than half as active in demanding the
suffrage as the Irish people in agitating
for the political changes they desire, they
would soon bear down all opposition 10 their
wishes. Another obstruction lies in the
abominable use made of woman suffrage in
Utah. There, as elseKbasA5-~-'y-Arzrrf
citizens can vote in national elections, but
the wife of a citizen becomes, in Utah if
not elsewhere, a citizen by her marriage
with a citizen. In this way an ignorant
Norwegian or Welsh woman takes the ticket
put in her hand and votes it with as much
knowledge of the import of the act as
boiler has why it is used to produce steam
for the engine. In the New York Legis-
lature spirited effort has been
made, during the present session, to have a
law passed allowing women to vote in that
hopes of success. The Legislature, however,
before final action, applied TO the attorney
general of the State to ascertain whether
they had the power to confer such a right.
His answer has shattered all the hattering
expectations by showing that the State con.
stitution expressly confines the suffrage to
ale citizens" and therefore women cannot
vote in New York without change in the
constitution; the Legislature is powerless In
the matter. 1t is shown, also, that any at
tempt to construe the word "male" 80 as not
to make it exclusive of females cannot stand,
for, if the word Citizen" excludes aliens,
then the word "maIe" excludes females.

CREATING A NEW SEA.

1t is singular to observe how far France is
distancing the rest of the world in engineer
ing enterprises. The Americans and the
English were supposed to take the lead in
such efforts, as their skill, inventive power
and boldness in undertaking well qualify
them to do. For some reason, not altogether
obvious, the French Guido them BOTH The
French constructed the Suez canal, while the
English, who were principally interested in
the result of that project, declared the scheme
visionary one; as for ourselves, it was out
side the sphere of our immediate interests.
The United States is more concerned than
any European nation in the construction of
the canal at the lsthmus of Panama, yet it
is the French who have taken up and are
carrying out that important work. The
French government has now officially
adopted the project that French en-
gineers have originated for making new
sea upon the bed of an old one, by
filling up the extensive depression that ex-
ists in the great desert of Sahara. A COM
miitse composed of forty-eight persons
from various government departments, six
teen members of the Legislature, and va
rious eminent military and civil engineers,
will next month commence active investiga-
tions upon the subject 1t is worth the read
er's trouble to refer 10 the atlas and see how
the desert of Sahara stretches from beyond
Tunis, now in possession of the French, to

most fruitful districts in Africa. Through
the low, marshy swamps south of Tunis and
Tripoli, an opening will be made to the Med

star-Roufe Trials.

WASHINGTON, May 16.-AttorneyGe General
Brewster was in court this morning when
the Star-route cases came up. The deputy
marshal reported that he had been unable
to arrest John w. Dorsey, and had no infor-
nation az to his whereabouts. Judge Wylie
suggested that perhaps Mr.. Dorsey might be
in court, and directed that his name be
called. As the crier called the name Car
penter rose and, to the surprise of the spec
tators, said John w. Dorsey was in the court
and had been in the city ten days. He added
that it had been Dorsey's intention from the
first to attend when wanted. Dorsey was
then arraigned, and pleaded not guilty.
Merrick said the government was ready to
proceed, but that the grand jury was now
considering the Rerdell case, and that if Rer-
dell was not tried with the other defendants
it would necessitate another trial of his case.
The hearing was then adjourned until the
25th instant, Judge Wylie reminding the
marshal that he was responsible for the per-
son Of Dorsey until bail was furnished.
j. w. Dorsey gave bail in $4,000.
