THE WOMAN QUESTION.

It is a saddening fact that womans worst
foes are found in her own ranks. Men rarely
az Use each other unless the masculine short
comings reach point openly entitled to gen
eral and public denunciation; but women
have way of exposing the failings of their
sisters which will ever initiate against the
progress of their sex. Melancholy evidence of
this fact meets one on every side. Mrs.
Leonard, of Massachusetts,, has just come to
the front to tell how sly and tricky women
are, and now, from the depths of the tomb,
in letter from Heloise to Abelard, comes the
same mournful tidings. If, as Margaret
Fuller says, "The observations of women
upon the position Of women are always more
valuable than those of men, what dreadful
thing it is that the tongues of women should
be allowed to riot in criticism on their fellow
strugglers for political position and privileges.
IF women are indeed such a mass of corrupt
ing influence as Mrs. Leonard and others
would have ingenious mankind believe, let
every trembling masculine heart be thankful
that the country has held together as long as
it has. However, as aprecautionary measure,
let the following, from Heloise to Abelard, be
carefully considered:
"Such has ever been the baneful influence
Of women ON the greatest men. Hence the
caution of the wise man against us (Proverbs).
Eve, our first mother, drove her husband from
Paradise. Heaven gave her to be his help
mate, but she soon became his destruction.
Delilah was alone strong enough to vanquish
that brave Nazarene whose birth an angel had
foretoid. She delivered him to his enemies
When deprived of sight, he was no longer
able to support the load of misery; involved in
one common ruin, he expired with his enc
mics. Solomon, the wisest of men, so in
fatuated by a woman, the daughter of the
King of Egypt even, in the decline of life,
to become an idOlator. Job, that man of
piety, had to endure the severest of all his
conflicts from his wife. She instigated him to
curse God. The arch-tempter well knew what
experience had often taught him, that the
most certain way to destroy husband was to
employ the artifce of his wife"
In the face of all such statements, ancient
and modern, it would indeed be rash meas
ure to endow such destructive element as
woman with political power. Let the monster
be appeased with jewelry, seal-skin cloaks,
handsome equipages, elegant dwellings any
thing and everything which the horny handed
bread-winner can scrape together; but let not
the country, the gubernatorial chair sole rem
nant of mans grandeur before the fall be re-
signed into the hands of heartless, designing
woman. In the mere contemplation of such
ignominy, the most careless man cannot but
sbudder. o, woman! woman! take the pocket
book and the middle of the crossings, but
leave to mankind the helm Of state.

THE HOUSE.
The Chalmers Manning Election Case 10
Rest Upon Its Merits.
until Monday

The Chalmers Manning Election Case 10
Rest Upon Its Merits.
Mr., Holman, from the committee on appro
priations, reported the joint resolution makinga
further appropriation of 5000, 900 for the relief
of the sufferers by the Ohio floods.
Mr.. Browne, of Indiana, read telegram from
Richmond asking an immediate al2ropratiora
for the relief os the destitute and homeless PEG.
pie along the Ohio.
The joint resolution was passed.
The Chalmers Manning election case was then
taken up.
At3:30 the previous question was ordered.
Then Mr.. Curtin took the floor for the purpose
of withdrawing his resolution, and wound up his
recital of the reasons which led to this action
with the words with General Mannings full
consent and appreciation, bring him to the
Speakers desk and ask that the oath be admins
tered to him on the certificate of the Governor of
Mississippi" and suiting his action to the words,
he took Mr.. Manning by the arm and together
they stood at the bar of the House When Mr..
Curtin presented him and demanded that he be-
sworn as the representative under the certificate
of the Governor of a loyal and great State, i'm
mediately the House woke up and Mr. Calkins
was ready with the point of order that the
House had referred the case to the committee;
that the committee had reported to the House
and the report was now under consideration.
The Speaker said that he did not think that
there was any necessity to decide a question of
order, because the question whether or not Man
ming was entitled to take the oath of Office was
the very question which the House was now
considering and on which the House was about
to take vote. The chair would not undertake
to administer the oath of office to person claim
ing to be a member elect. The House itself was
considering his right to the seat.
Messrs Manning and Curtin thereupon re-
turned to their seats amid the derisive laughter
of the Republican side, which was increased at
the remark of Mr.. Bedford, Ring down the cur
tain the play is over"
The question REQUIRED on substituting the mi
nolity resolution for those of the majority and
a division on the resolutions being demanded a
vote was taken on the first, declaring that Man
ming holds proper credentials. This was re-
jected-yeas LOG, nays 140 The announcement
of the vote was received with applause on the
Republican side The second resolution declar-
ing Manning entitled to the seat was defeated
yeas 81. nays 157 The majority resolutions
were then adopted 100 to Sc.
This discharges the committee elections
from the prima face case, and leaves the seat
vacant until the case is decided on its merits.
Adjourned until Monday.

COURT MANNERS,

The Louisville Commercial, citing the recent
suicide of Martin Sellers, at Kendallville, to
avoid testifying in a murder case, remarks:
"There's many witness who has wished him
self dead after being bullied and badgered by
a privileged attorney" The humor of this
observation is lost in the fact that it is too
near the truth to be very funny. The man
ner in which the courts allow pettifogging
lawyers to insult, Islander and bully witnesses
is shame alike to bench and bar Too many
prosecutors feel free to malign and impeach
off hand any and all of the defendants wit
nesses no matter how reputable they may be
nor how sensitive to such brutal proceedings
1t is fact that the men most hurt by such
unprofessional badgering are the very ones
who, left to themselves would tell the whole
story without equivocation or mental reserva-
ton, and in exact accord with the truth, while
only too often the studied attacks of this class
of attorneys have no more effect on liar than
the pouring of spoonful of water would have
on ducks back.
A sensitive man, unused to such malevo-
lent methods is almost certain to contradict
himself under the unnecessary and indecent
inq,isition. The truth is lost, just as the ex-

and are yet divided in opinion as to whether she
is alive or dead. The body was taken from the

In the first edition of the novel called "Cape
Cod Folks" actual names of persons living in
that region were used, much to their indignation.
AS soon as the publishers learned this other
names were substituted in later editions, but
this did not appease the wrath of the persons
who chose to regard themselves as caricatured,
and several suits were brought against the pub
fishers. The case of the hero of the book,
Lorenzo L. Nightingale, against the FIRM is
trial this week in Plymouth, Mass, and attracts
much attention. He AYERS that he has suffered
and continues to suffer much annoyance on ac-
count of the libelous nature of incidents in which
he is represented as figuring. He is particularly
exasperated over the description of scene
wherein he is pictured kissing the school
mistress He says he never did it, and never
thought of such thing, and if the teacher was
in love with him he did not know it, and thought
she might have taken another way of telling him
So As this hool-mistress is supposed by
the people of the region to be the
writer of the book, though, as an
exception to the rule, she does not
use her own name Mr.. Nightingale, by this
testimony, makes matters rather interesting for
that young woman. The complainant further
declares UndJ OI HIS Ill ldltr eul-
tons to Lorenzo B. Cradlebow, so far from being
a relief, was source of increased annoyance, as
he was subjected to much CHAIR and ridicule in
consequence, and is now often greeted by
the offensive name of Cradlebow as the euphoni-
Gus one of Nightingale. For his sufferings,
Lorenzo demands a salve of $4,000. The pub
fishers plead that they were innocent of any
malice or intont to annoy, that the book was
its face fiction. and that even if the characters
were drawn from real life SO iatterng and ideal
