thies and emotions so far as to come
out in favor Of the Mormon church
and polygamy, it does more to convince
the world that female suffrage is a
fallacy than all the arguments of a
dozen masculine minds. This is what
Mrs Saxon has done. She who sets
up to be re.ormer and the champion
of woman's natural rights, now con-
cludes that a plurality OF wives tends
to be for the protection and happiness
OF the sex. 1t is perfectly amazing
how some bright, sensible, pure
people absolutely go crazy on a hobby.
1t seems that Mrs. Saxon has been
entertained by one of Brigham
Young's fractional relics seventy nine
years old, who defends the system. Of
this old hag, in the course OF long
communication to a New Orleans
paper, she says:
"A man who is bitter hat,r of
Mormons calls her an old proouress.
| can understand this we'll, for she
strenuously advocates the plural mar
riage as furnishing the best condition
and protection for women and chill
dren, and argues with an ability and
skill that few can surpass, showing up
the evils Of the social vices in other
systems, in a way that proves her
study of all questions concerning the
human family. She is now seventy
nine, is a vOluminous writer of poetry
and church literature, and has GER
tainly the sweetest voice | eyer heard
from the lips of age.
Such nonsense and such monstrous
sentiments to come from the pen Of a
cultured, respected Southern lady.
She believes that women should march
up 10 the ballot box, vote, and if she
could vote, would cast her ballot in
favor Of man having as many wives
as he could support in other words
she would favor the Turkish harem
system, and if in her power, would
upset all society and with it every
hearthstons in the land. When the
leading exponent Of woman suffrage
comes out in favor of the Mormon
church it is proof stronger than holy
writ that there ia no immediate neoes,
sity OF an extension of the privilege to
approach the ballot box. There is
too much voting already.

0he Of the most sisnifcent results
appearing in therecent census bulletin

change has come over General Arthur, NOT

FkMALE suffrage has poor outlook in
the state of New York. GAru, in the Gin.
cinnati Enquirer, says on the subject
The Encouragement Of the state has
given an opinion which bids fair to ruin ut
terly the prospects of female suffrage in
New York. He says the state constitution
confines the suffrage TO males, and it can.
not, therefore, be given to females without
an amendment to the constitution. An
amendment to the constitution has to be
passed by two successive legislatures, and
then submitted to the people, and no pro.
posal to give women the ballot could sur.
