A lot of Growing hens are in Wash
ington worrying Congress again on
the woman suffrage question. They
want the various states to vote on a
sixteenth amendment to the constitu-
ton giving strong-minded females
the right to vote. These old girls
ought to quit showing to the world
that they are mad because they were
not born males.

Miss Mary Anderson, the greatest
actress on the American stage, who
is a Louisville girl returned last
week after a triumphant tour in
Europe and the eastern cities and
played three nights and matinee in
her home city. Proud must have
been the day to the young actress.
She left home few years ago to seek
a recognition of the wonderful tai
ents she possesses, poor girl and
when she returned it was in mag
nificent private car and on every
hand the populace crowded around
to welcome her whom they delighted
to call "Our Mary" Five elegant
rooms were set apart for her occu-
pancy in the Gait House, the finest
hotel in the city, and every 1irst-hooi
ticket to her performances was sold
days ahead of her arrival. Her debu
occurred at Macauley's theatre il
Louisville, Nov. q, 1875. She visit
ed that city last three years ago.

Louisville Tobacco Market.
GBy Clover 4 Durrctt.l

The sales this week on our market
amount to 334l hhds. with receipts
of 2270 hhds. The imprecedentedly
heavy snow fall in Southern Ken
lucky has had the effect of material
ly diminishing receipts. The offer
ings have presented remarkably
large percent of Tobacco in very soft
condition and the price for such pack
ages have been disastrous to sellers.
Prices have been lower this week on
all grades of tobacco and we find 1t
necessary to lower quotations as will
be seen below. The amount of rejec-
tons have been remarkably large as
sellers are not prepared to meet the
depression in prices. The following
quotations refer to new dark tobacco

The Penitentiary Middle.
louisville Post.l


The action of the Senate yesterday
in passing a bill giving Warden
South his back-pay and empowering
the Commissioners to appoint and
remove the Warden in future, is the
first CLEAN of light yet thrown into
the penitentiary abyss. The question
now universally asked is: "Will the
House pass the bill as it comes from
the Senate ?" have interviewed
number of the Representatives, but
all of them seem at sea about it. The
temper of the House, in the discussion
a few days since, showed that any bill
giving South his back-pay would
meet with an organized opposition.
The burden of settling the muddle
having been placed upon the House
by the action of the Senate, the re-
sponsibility may influence them to
recede from their position in order to
settle the annoying matter and get it
out of the way. South has number
of devoted friends in the House, who
will not see him fired out of the War
denship, and deprived of his back
salary too, even though he is not en-
titled to it. They are principally
what the Frankfort girls picturesque
ly term "Hill-billys," tough-grained
old fellows, and mountain men, who
have stood by the South family for
years.
If the bill containing the appro-
priation passes the House l feel justi-
fed in predicting that Gov. Knott
will either veto it or refuse to sign it.
In discussing the penitentiary ques-
ton few weeks ago, he said to me
in substance: "There is only one
way to look at this proposition to
pay South the back salary claimed.
If it is due him, then the Commits
sioners were wrong in removing him
and they and not the State should be
made to pay the money out of their
own pockets. If the Commissioners
were right, South is not entitled to a
cent"
This would signify that the Gov
ernors's mind is made up, and it still
looks squally for Barry South.
1 asked Mr.. Hoge, of the Mason 4
, Foard Company, what he thought
of the Senate bill. He said: II sup
| pose it's all right; at least l have nj
objection to it. hope it will be set
tied in some way"
q "If no conclusion has been reached
9 by the first of March will your com
pany return your convicts to the pris
on?'
, "There is no doubt of it. fifth
! matter is not settled by that time tn
, prisoners controlled by us will mos
9 certainly be returned to the peniten
h. tiary."

Minister Bucks Record.

WASHINGTON, Feb. Ill is curl
GUS how gross misrepresentation of
our foreign Ministers get into print.
The reports of the queer conduct of
many of our representatives abroad
which have been published of late
seem to have been untrue in many,
if not all the cases.
An assistant surgeon of the Navy
writes to a local paper denying the
statement recently published to the
effect that Minister Buck recently
committed a gross breach of etiquette
by appearing in a cut-away coat at
a reception in Lima, Peru. He says 4:
81 was in Lima on the arrival of Min
lister Buck and remained there until
November, and during that time l
often had the pleasure of attending
numerous receptions with the Minis
ter and his family. He always wore
the usual evening dress that any gen.
tleman would wear at reception in
/ Washington. 1 remember he gave
one or two informal receptions to hi
friends and naval officers in Lima
and very properly wore a Prime,
Albert coat, which your information
mistook for a cut-away coat, an(
jumped to the conclusion that he hat
no dress coat at the time. He ha
done more in diplomatic way Il

United States and Peru during tn
