Secretary FoIzer, in his ardor direct
ing the supervising inspector of steam
vessels to examine Mrs. Mary A. Miller
of New Orleans, as to her qualifications
as master of steamboat, he says he
knows of no reason why a woman, if
skilled, honest and intelligent, hardy
and prudent has not as good right to
command Il steam vessel and navigate it
as a man if she wants to. Woman hav
ing been pat on Gods footstool by the
Great Giver of all good things, has a
right to earn her bread in any honest
way she may elect, and no man has the
right to say her nay, no matter whether
she worUs in skirts or breeches.

ton directing tho committee on civil service to
investigate and report upon the discharge by
the sergeant at-arms of colored employe
named Dudley, who had been he said, a soldier
in the war, and an efficient employee. Mr.. Nor

building for the congressional library which
brought down upon him storm of objections.
Mr.. Morrill, asked unanimous consent to
make few remarks upon the bill and then let

was granted, and Mr.. Morrill, proceeded to read

senate by the president Consuls, Robert j.
Stevens, Victoria, b. c.; Eugene 0. Feehet,
