70 Those who have secretly
sinned most heavily against true
wOmanhood are the most rigid
and intolerant in their denuncia-
tions, and we turn aside with sad
ness, not unmixed with contempt,
from the pitiful sight of one wo-
man by her words or looks, thrust
ing a miserable sister deeper in
the malebolge of sin and despair.
We are no advocate for what is
called woman's rights, but there
is one right which we think, in
virtue of her womanhood, she
should claim. The right of her
own purity, which should enable
her to pity and assist the most
fallen of mankind, without expos
ing herself to Injurious srrmises.


Harsh judgements, we suppose,

pursues it's ceaseless round, but as
its course seems somewhat erratic

in connection with the disfranehisement Of deserer
Rebels and those who fed from the draft This clause
annexed on the demand OF three members OF
the Legislature whose votes necessary make out
the thrcehs required to submit the question 10 the

Of the Republican party, and rendered the whole
amendment unpopular. One prominent Republican
paper which had favored negro suffrage opposed the
amendment Many Republican papers felt obliged TO op

would amount to nothing. But believed IL would

Many Democrats who would have shrunk from openly
opposing negro suffrage fought boldly against the amend

given them. II both parties had started fairly on the
naked question of negro suffrage it is impossible 10 tell
what the result would have been IL is not improbable
that the amendment would have passed At any rate we
say that the Democratic Legislature cannot be

In the House of Commons on the 10th of
July there was an interesting debate on bill
for the better education of the poor. The bill
is only permissive in its character, and author
ises bOroushs and districts to form school
unions and levy rates for the purpose of main
tanning existing schOols. The Tories admitted
the unsatisfactory state of popular instruction,
but objected to the bill, which they thought
would deprive the schools of their seetarian
character, and prepare the way for the intro
duction Of another American institution. So
they preferred, for the present, to let the poor
people grow up in ignorance, and rejected the
bill
