SUFFRAGE FOR WOMEN.
The First American Woman to Take
a Stand for the Rights
Of Her Sex.

When, on the oath Of June, the
assembly of 1878 was in session,
doubtless occupied with discussing the
affairs Of the province, their rights as
freemen, etc, they were startled by
the appearance of Mistress Margaret
Brent upon the scene, who demanded
both voice and vote for herself in the
assembly by virtue Of her position as
Gov. Calvert's attorney. Alas for Mis-
tress Brent and her appreciation Of
the rights Of her sex! The governor
promptly and ungaIlantly refused her.
The injured lady, as her only means OF
retaliation, protested against all the
acts of the session as invalid, unless
her vote was received as well as the
votes Of the male members.
By this action Margaret Brent I'M
doubtedly placed herself on record as
the first woman in America to make q
stand for the rights Of her sex. It Is
surprising to find how little this fact
is known. In so comprehensive and
authoritative a work as the history Of
woman's suffrage edited by Susan
B. Anthony no mention is made Of this
extraordinary woman. In fact, 1t is
L0GTe staten LudE q LEhoAueA0-A1lA =
dame, Mrs. Abigail Smith Adams, wife
of John Adams. of Massachusetts,, was
the first champion Of woman's rights
in America. In March, 1776, Mistress
Adams wrote to her husband, then at
the continental congress in Phila-
delphia: ST long to hear that you have
declared for indePendency, but de-
sire that you should remember the
ladies. 49,. If particular care is not
paid the ladies q. we viii not hold
ourselves bound to obey laws in which
we have no voice or representation"
We are not told how John Adams re-
piled to this ePistle from his fair
spouse. but we do know that IN the
famous Declaration Of independence,
where all men are declared free and
equal, the women received no more
consideration than did Margaret
Brent nearly one hundred and fifty
years before. - Caroline Sherman
Bansemer, in BarPer's Magazine.

themselves painfully many miles to the
rear, only to find a hospital that was
without tents, medicine, bandages, ice,
and many Of even the simplest necessi-
ties to "frst aid" No swhitewash" can
obscure these facts which first came in
the press dispatches, and are now be-
ing daily cOrrObOrated by private let
ters from our unfortunate soldiers
themselves.
Our army triumphed; but in the hour
Of victory the dreaded fever made its
appearance, spreading so rapidly that
the victims were soon numbered by
the thousand. The first duty Of the
secretary OF war, one would have
thought, was to place the army, or the
greater part Of il, on transports, and
remove it to its native northern home.
But no. The political demands Of the
hour had other calls upon the trans
ports, to satisfy which, they were hur-
ried home in order to carry an army Of
1900 men to a sO-called invasion Of
Porto Rico. This pleasure trip was Or
ganized, it seems, in compliance with
certain political demands, the right
eousness Of which appears to have com
mended them to the seeretary's good
military judgment. Meanwhile the
sick, wounded, and dying troops were
to be dispatched TO the interior OF
Cuba until the conclusion Of the Porto
Rico junketing trip would set free the
transports to bring home what was left
Of the Santiago army.
Our beloved country is just now pass
ing through 3 crisis which, in its pro-
found Importance, can only be linked
to the thrOes Of the revolution which
gave the country birth or the terrific
struggle Of the civil war. The demand
Of the American people at such q time
is that its high officials shall be distin-
guished by the purest and most IN
questioned patriotism. It has nothing
but scathing rsbuke for such question
able politics as are evidenced in the
recent publication Of the partial con
tents OF q private letter, IN the hope Of
working political injury to q soldier
citizen whose splendid qualities have
endeared him to the nation Scientific
American.

Of the existence OF this journal
The people OF this country have &C
ouirsd a reputation for remarkable
patience and longsufering; and We
think that never did they show it in
such a supreme degree as the present.
Il was hard for our citizens to surren-
der the very flower Of our young men
from their homes to be dispatched on
q fatal campaign in one Of the most
pestilentisl climates Of the world
But the surrender was made with a
loyal response which marks a truly
patriotic people.
All that they asked, the least that
they expected, was that the men who
had volunteered so freely should re-
ceive 1t the hands OF the country every
possible safeguard and support that is
known to modern science. The Amer
lean people never doubted for q mo-
ment that its army would get the best
Of food, the best Of transportation, and
the best Of nursing and medical care
in the field. In this expectation they
we're fully justified. They had voted
lavish funds to carry on the war, they
had given the administration q free
hand, in fact, in the matter Of expend-
iture, and they had every reason to ex-
pect that all that the government Of
wealthy, powerful, and resOurceful ma
ton could do to soften the rigor Of
war would be done.
As matter Of fact, they have seen
our army Of invasion subjected to in
convenience, hardship, and positive
suffeFings for which there is not the
slightest excuse, and which were en-
tirely due to the amazing incompetent
oy Of the medical and subsistence de-
partments. Everything. indeed, was
favorable, highly favorable, to the sue
cessful landing Of troops and supplies
and the keeping open Of cummunica-
ton. We had the complete command
Of the sea and abundance of ships for
transportation; the campaign was be
ing carried on at our very doors, and
the field Of battle lay but few miles
from the point Of debarkation- Yet, as
q matter OF fact, our troops had to 60
through the fierce fighting an Santiago
in a half starved condition, and what
food they secured vas often Of the
vilest description.

the lack Of ambulances, had to drag
