AT AN election held in New Jersey
last week, at which the women attempt
cd to exercise the privilege of suffrage,
they had regular old Fishtown scrim-
mage, black queans vying with their
white allies in their attacks on the bal
lot box and the men who held it. But
still there are white men, and, more
noticeable still, white men in Virginia,
who say that women must hold public
office. If they should, for stronger
reason they should be allowed to vote,
and then will come such disgraceful
affairs as the one referred to.

for doing so, by saying he thought it
better to trust merciful God with his
soul than the wretched Turks with his

WHEN General Malone was in power
in this State, one of his followers said
he had eaten one, and would eat two
bushels of dirt for him. Senator Villas
must belong to the same class Of men.
Because the President wants free coal,
Mr.. Villas now says free coal it must be;
though so late as the 18th ultimo he is
recorded as having voted against res
olution to put coal On the free list. Mr..
Villas either doesn't believe that people
respect him or his opinions, or else he
doesn't care whether they do or not.
