A Brief Rectihcation.

Our able Republican contemporary. the
Globe Democrat OF st. Louis, proposes to
correct what 1t calls very incorrect state
ment Of q memorable incident Of the war;
and here Is the version which it sets forth
by way Of Improvement:
at was at the anal march and review of Union
troops in Washington succeeding the surrender Of LEE
The President and his Cabinet were on the grand
stand. and Gen. SHERMAN stopped and dsm mounted to
pay his rsspects secretary STANTON, like his asso.
ciates pronered his hand to she General, who how.
ever passed on without noticing either the hand or
its owner But Gen. SHERMAN did not then. or
at any other time. tell STANTON that he
nothing but ID clerk He used this Ian.
Ruass afterward in speaking Of but not STANTON
with another party to whom he was relating tho
Of his 'coolness' toward STANTON which the lat.
ters conduct in eountermanding orders issued by
SHERMAN to tho army in North Carolina"
This is not the truth. We were present
on that stand Immediately behind Mr..
STANTON. and heard and saw everything
that happened there; while to all the cir
cumstances relating to Gen. SHERMAN we
paid the most careful attention. Nothing
theatrical occurred, and there was no man.
Hesitation Of excitement ON either side.
When Gen. SHERMAN approached. Mr., STAN
TON did not offer his hand or make any
movement to offer it. He did not look par
ticularly at Gen. SHERMAN nor speak to
him. and SHERMAN had no opportunity Of
repelling any advance in word or
gesture. As SHERMAN passed along In front
OF him. Mr.. STANTON neither opened his
lips, nor smiled. nor in any way departed
from the entire tranquility Of his attitude
except to make brief and impersonal for.
ward movement Of his head, approaching
bow, in recognition Of the passage Of
general officer with other officers attend
ing him. That was all.
So many untrue reports have been set
afioat respecting this incident. that it Is a
duty to history to record the exact truth.

Not Constitutional.

The act of the last session Of the Legisla-
ture empowering the women Of this State
to vote for School Commissioners In the
election held this year. has been declared
unconstitutional by Judge WILLIAMS OF the
Supreme Court OF the State. He holds that
it is in violation of that provision of the
State Constitution which restricts the right
OF voting to male citizens.
The woman suffragists must be disap-
pointed at this decision. The constitu-
tional restriction had been overlooked by
them. as. strange to say. it was overlooked
by the members of the Legislature who
voted for the school suffrage bill. and by
the vigilant Governor who promptly gave
it his approval.
The women of this city were not required
to register as our School Commissioners
are appointed. not elected; but. In some
other parts OF the State. a good many
women had their names put on the regis
tration lists. After looking over those OF
the returns within easy reach we estimate
that more than twenty thousand of the
women Of the State have registered with
the intention Of voting. This Is but q
small fraction of the female population Of
mature years. The vast majority OF the
women took not the slightest interest in
the law OF last session. and we do not be-
leve that one-twentieth Of them would
have voted In case the law had been
declared constitutional. Stirring appeals
were made to them to register, to show
their appreciation OF the ballot. and to
make great display Of their power at
the first opportunity ever given them to do
SO: but these appeals fell upon needless
ears, Tho women OF this State thus gave
another demonstration OF fact often dem
onstrated before. that they do not care
about the suffrage. If one-half or one-third
of them had registered. there would have
been reason for believing that the demands
of their energetic champions were In ac-
cordance with their desires, and we might
have looked for proper or favorable con-
sideration OF these demands by the State
Constitutional Convention of next year. the
delegates to which will be elected in the
coming week.
OF course. IL the law is unconstitutional.
those women who took occasion to register
are illegally registered. and are not enti-
tied to vote because registered. Yet they
committed no offence in registering. and
the registry clerks committed no offence In
permitting them to register. because the
law under which they registered had not
then been brought before any court. or de-
clarcd unconstitutional.
One woman who has not been wholly dis
couraged by the adverse decision of Judge
WILLIAMS is Mrs. LILLE DEvEREUx
BLAKE OF the Woman's Suffrage League.
She believes that the demands OF the women
will become more energetic on account OF
the decision. THAT decision" she says.
