Thurlow Weed the bosom friend of
Secretary Seward in his last letter on
the situation, has the following:
81 did not, three years agv, mistake
or magnify the evil of abolition in
iluences; nor, though tiercely denounc.
ed, did shrink from the duty of warn
ming the people. What then was only
prophetic is now history. Abolition
influences in congress and in the cabi-
net have doubled TIE millions of dol
lars and deepened the rivers of blood
spent and shed in a war which, SO long
as such influences and counsels sway
the government, promises nothing but
an inglorious termination.

THE WAR In VIRGINIA.-The only
reports from Grants army, in the pub
lie dispatches, are, that all is quiet,
and that there is no change in the sit
uation; but a note from the agent at
New York of the Associated Press ap-
prses us that the Washington htelH-
gencer of Saturday morning announces
that Grant has made some movement,
the telegraphing of the nature Of
which would be contrary to the injunc-
tion of the War Department. There
are rumors in general circulation that
the campaign against Richmond is
about to be abandoned. The censor
ship of the telegraph prevents us from
assertaining the truth of these re-
ports; but the fact that large number
of empty transports went down the po-
tomac few days ago is significant
Under date of Washington, Aug. Z,
1864, we have news that the rebels sue.
ceeded in mining under one of our
forts near Petersburg, and blew n por-

small. One Colonel was mortally
wounded. The enemy made no charge
after the explosion occurred. No 9th

A SIGNAL VICTORY

The advocates Of woman suffrage
have won an important victory in
the decision of the Illinois supreme
court that the woman suffrage act
Of that state Is constitutional. True
the decision was by q majority vote
and along party lines, but all the
same 1t clears the atmosphere in H.
linois and is generally welcomed as
the natural settlement of question
which has agitated political life in
that state for many years. The de-
cdsion is found to have considerable
influence on the movement in other
states, and also In other countries,
because Illinois Is the most populous
state In the Union to give the ballot
to women. To be sure the constitu-
ton win have to be amended to con-
fer full suffrage on women, but
that In time will be certain to come.

SAFETY FIRST

This lis the aM-important topic OF
the day In every quarter of the globe
In all lines of endeavor. Right now
We rise to call attention to the out
side stairs leading from the Opera
House. This stairway is an old
wooden affair that Is about to fail
to the ground from the burden of
its own weight. The railing Is SO
loose that if a person leans against
it. 1t Is liable to be pushed out and
let the person to the ground and the
result would probably be fatal.
What about this stairway In case
of fire? Children will be showed out
under the railing and the jam would
surely bring the flimsy thing to the
ground, probably killing many and
crjppling as many more for life.
These stairs are menace and
should be condemned and replaced by
a new iron stairway.

GUARDING OUR RURAL MAIDS

A movement Is on foot among clut
women of the United States to have
railroad trains supplied with chaper
ones, whose duties will be to safe.
guard our rural maids and youthful
matrons from the attentions and
Establishments of strange men while
travelling alone.
The move Is a wise one and should
be fostered and encouraged, 1t Is
needed and we are for 1t.
And now We bow down in gratitude
to these noble high minded club wo-
men for their SOLICITORS attitude to-
ward our country lassies.
But there is seldom an ointment
without dts fly.
From casual reading of the move
ment as exploited in the daily press
1t would appear that young women
from the country are the only ones
who are sufficiently unsophisticated
as to be unable to care for them
selves while separated from the MAJ
ternal apron strings, while the wis
dom of the city bred girl makes her
immune from insult.
Or at least that appears to be the
opinion of the wise ones of clubdom.
Now in order that we may not be
outdone In generosity, and that our
rural light may shed Its rays afar,
we humbly suggest that our good wo-
men inaugurate movement for the
protecting young girls Of the city
from the polished human vampires
who make practice of preying upon
Young innocence abroad.
Surely our sisters of the city are
worthy OF some measure OF protection
slight though 1t may be.
