Women ns follticiau?.
Jb'rom the N. Y. Wation.
Whatever may be the result of the Inquiry
now going on aa to tke professions for which
women are best fitted, there can be little
doubt that greater aul greater numbers of
them will Lereafter take part in political
discussion, and that once they get the fran
chise they will Introduce into the political
arena a greater or leas number of questions
as peculiarly "women's questiona," and de
mand for them ppecial It'Ri.tlalion or special
treatment of eouie kind at the haudj of
the State or General (ioverumeut. We have
little doubt, too, they will exercise a
much greater inlluence on male opinion than
moat ot us imagine. No matter how freely
the profusions may be open to women, a very
large proportion of them will not follow any
protcPfion, but will live at home at leisure, as
they do low, aud if they have votes, will give
more attention to politics than they have ever
done more, probably, than the great body of
their male relatives; and will form opinions
which, whether good or bad, they will preach
with coufiderable vigor, and we dare say with
considerable elled.
It it", therefore, not a minute too pooh for
women who want to inlluence legialatiou,
either through the press or the platform, to
begin their political education; that ia, to
make themselves moderately acquainted with
the influences which regulate the con lac t of
men in Bociety, and with the extent to which
they can be suspended or directed by legisla
tion, as far as has been ascertained by human
espeiience; in other words, to make them
selves moderately acquainted with history,
political economy, and jurisprudence. Unless
they do this, we tear, so far from exercising
the "elevating and purifying influence" on
politics of which we hear so much, they
will simply increase the force of the
very worst element in politics; that is,
the element of blind and ignorant
zeal, which we, for our part, consider just now
only less dangerous to good government than
simple rascality. About the character of cor
ruption or treason there is no room for doubt,
and there is no difference of opinion. Von
have only to reveal them clearly to ronse
popular opinion against them. But we make
bold to say that if anybody will go through
history cgrefully he will fiud that what hu
manity has suilered from wicked and unscru
pulous conquerors or tyrants or knaves is a
mere trille compared to what it has suffered
from well-meaning ignoramuses and zealots.
If, theiefore, female politicians as Boon as
they appear ia the political arena are simply
going to reinforce the ranks of those who
make a mockery of reason and experience,
disdain to argue, and vote and make speeches
by the aid of an inner light of their own, of
which the rest of the world knows nothing,
and to treat the nature of man, as seen aud
known in the world, as if it did not form the
leading element in all the great social prob
lems, female politicians, instead of proving a
blessing to the conntry, will prove a curse.
It will not do to tell ns in reply to these coun
sels that the mass of male voters do not study
the science of politic any more than women.
All men, or nearly all men in this country
above the ignoraut laborer, have taken au in
terest in politics and been made familiar with
political ideas and political processes from
their very boyhood. They are, at least in
directly, trained to politics by the nature of
their studies at school and college,
and by the nature of their business in active
life. There is no man who does not find his
calling more or less ailected by legislation, aud
who doe3 not, therefore, give more or less
attention to political measures. Clergymen,
lawyers, doctors, merchants, farmers, "mecha
nics all become politicians, in a greater or
less degree, from necessity. Mjreover, it
is one of the familiar fact3 of domesUo life that
boys, from the time they begin to read and
observe, turn their attention to political
affairs, to wars, to laws, to revolutions, to the
fortunes of states and of rulers, just as regu
larly, and with as little direction fruin without,
as girls to dress and dolls and visiting and
cooking and ether incidents of household eco
nomy. Whether this difference be natural
or conventional merely, we shall not here
discuss. It is enough for the purpose of our
argument that it exists, and that nearly all
women of the present or next generation will,
on entering on a political career, have to
acquire by hard work even that amount of
fitness for the discussion of political questions
which most men acquire without any special
effort at all, by merely going on their way,
following their natural bent, aud attending
to their business. Of course there are, and
Will be, women who will be able to contribute
as much that is valuable to political discus
sion as any or all but a very few men, but
then the mass of female politicians will not,
without special preparation, be able to con
tribute anything at all that will not positively
do mischief.
Female politicians, however, thus far, with
three or four exceptions we wuuld willingly
make the number larger if we could have
not given, on the platform or in the press,
much, if any, indication of either thought,
Study, or experience. They show, indeed, an
ardent interest in the growth of human happi
ness aud virtue, but about the means of pro
moting them through legislation they seem to
be In a Btate of simplicity not far removed
from thut of very small children about their
fathec's capacity for proouiing money. We
would refer anybody who thinks these re
marks too severe to the history of the
agitation about Ilebter Vaughan, the woman
recently sentenced to death for inanti
cide in Philadelphia. The woman found
her husband had committed bigamy in mar
rying her, and refused to prosecute him
after he had deserted her. Auother scoundrel
then committed rape upon her, aud she re
fused to prosecute him or even tell his name,
lest it should hurt the feelings of his wife;
and she then murdered, or appears to have
murdered, her newly-born child, and has
been convicted for it. Meetings of women
have accordingly been held in New Yotk, in
which the laws under which the woman has
been condemned have been made the subject
of wholesale reprobation by female orators,
and the conviction denounced with as much
fury as if the woman's story of bigamy,
and the rape which the victim refuses
to prove, made it in Borne mysterious
way the duly of the Governor to treat
the infanticide as really a bUmelej act
and the woman as nimbly an object
of commiseration, and as if, moreover, it was
Lis duty to accept the findings of the meetiujj
in this ebullient state of mird as a guide for
Lis official conduct. Ho proof of anything, be
It remembered, has bden offered or proposed.
The sole object of the meetings held seems to
have been to embody line moral sentiments in
a petition, anil to give the petition the fore of
apolitical demand. It-wasliid lw:i, too,
amongst other things, 1 1 u t there was
something peculiarly uionstrcin ia award
ing a womau under such chcum ta'ices
the treatment" that would be accjrdl
to a man, thus surrendering the doctrine of
the equality of the sexes on which the womau
suffrage movement is based, and accepting the
doctrine on which its opponents rely most
firmly, that the very peculiarities of woman's
moral and physical constitution, which so
often in life place her at man's mercy, make
it improper to throw open the professions and
the ballot-box to her. Moreover, a dernaud
was made by some Fpeakers tout He3ter
Vaughan should be tried by a female jury
that is, by a Jury telected from the claos of
the community least accustomed to weigh evi
dence, most strongly moved by its passions
and prejudices, and in a case appealing with
peculiar force to these passions and prejudices.
We do not tay that cases of this kind should
i:ever le tritd by female juries, but we do say
Hat we Lope the experiment will not be tried
till women have acquired experience in the
art of drawiug iufereuce3 and greater
contiol over their emotions than the
gnat body of th sex now dis
play. Moreover, thpy accused th convict's
couutel, without a particle of proof, of having
betrayed and deseited her, aud, to cap the
climax, tent off a deputation to Philadelphia
in tuich complete ignorance of the f.tcts of the
case that, vi lieu it got there, it found that
everything they wanted to have done had
been done already on the motion of benevolent
people in that city, who had gone to work in
a bileut, Christian, aud efficient manner, with
out a hall, gaslight, or speeches or "commit
tee on resolutions." The New Yorkers now
owe the Philadelphia lawyer a public apology,
which we trust they will make, and make
haidgcmely; we Lope they will not imitate
too many of the reformers by pretending that
they never heard of Lis vindication, or by
treating his denial of Lis guilt as simply a
fresh proof of Lis depravity.
The sum and subatance of the whole mat
ter is tlib and it is as worthy the attention of
male as of female humanitarians that the ex
periment they stem disposed to try of the
direct application of the moral law as evolved
at public meetings through legislation to the
regulation of society, without regard to the
dibturbing elements introduced into all Doliti-
cal and Bocial problems by human nature, by
uauu, irauiuou, prejudices, weaunesses, vices,
and ignorance in other words, without regard
to the lessons of history and the facts of
human life is sure to fail. It has been tried
in various ages aud amongst various races,
and Las always ended in confusion and dis
aster. It is but another form of the theocratic
government over which everybody now laugha
or mourns. What Providence clearly intended
the politician for is to take men and women as
they are their vicss along with their virtues.
tbe things in which they differ as well as the
tilings m wtich they are alike and haviDz
made himself thoroughly acquainted with the
history and results oi legislative experiments in
otntr 8ges ana places, do what he can. not to
recast their character, but to place their char
acter under favorable inlluences while leaving
free play for their individual tastes and ener
gies. For instanoe, when he comes to legis
late on the relations of the sexes, he must not
fix the position of woman as if she were simply
a weak man, and as if he had never heard of
such offenses as seduction or rape or bie&mv:
and then when such offenses are committed
begin to rave against those who commit them
as if they were unheard-of monsters, for the
possibility of whoss existence, like the pari
cides at Rome, the lawgiver was not expected
to proviue.
Wanted A I'ew More liuuilred Thousand
aiggcrs.
from the K. Y. Ilcrald.
Our President in Lis massacre to Cencrre33
indicates a somewnat filibustering spirit when
he sayp, "I am satisfied that the time Las
arrived when even so direct a proceeding as a
proposition for an annexation of the two re
publics of the island of St. Domingo would
not only receive the consent of the peo
ple interested, but would also give satis
laction to all other foreign nations." Is
this a grim joke on the part of our Execu
tive ? The radicals Lave had such a dose
of African blacking that their opposers now
wish to surfeit them to the point of reaction.
To annex St. Domingo is to add to our trou
bles, and increase our population by half a
million of negroes fully educated to revolu
tionary turmoil. They would make au excel
lent element for the carpet-baggers to work
upon. A large aristocratio faction predomi
nates there, and a grand duke will black your
boots while Lis duchess does your washing.
Congo is also well represented, and our mis
sionaries will find an excellent field of labor in
the correction of voodooism and fetichism ex
isting among these native?. Altogether there
are numerous arguments ia support of this
broad uigger view of our President. Let us,
by all means, annex the island.
Congress and the Message.
From the If. Y. Times.
W wish Congress would bear in mind that
it takes two to quarrel. The President's
Message is a document as well calculated to
provoke a saint as could well be concocted,
liut Congressmen would Lave proved them
selves to be saints more effectually if they had
refuFed to be provoked. That the message of
the Prefideut of the United States, sent into
Corgress in pursuance of his constitutional
duty, Bhould be read to that body is a matter
of course. That body is not responnible for
its character. It cannot be hurt by its temper
or tone. Congress is not, or ought
not to be, so sensitive as to make
its reading painful; or if it is, the cou
rage of Congress ougtt to be equal to the
emergency. If an Indian chief can be rid
dhd to pieces with arrows without llinching
if a Christian martyr can sing psalms
while being burned at the stake and if a
denizen of Delaware or Sing Sing can endure
tbe tortures of the whipping-post without
becoming Insane, Congress ought to be able
to submit to the reading of the President's
message without unseemly contortions or
other indications either of rage or pain. The
message certainly is scurrilous, but Congress
did not write it. It was designed to be
oflensive and Insulting, but it is not
necessary for Congress to regard and resent
an insult as a personal wrong. Congress has
a dignity, both official and personal, that re
lieves it from that necessity. We concede
that Congress is not obliged to listen to au
offensive documeut if it were, there would
be no merit in doing it. But we think it
would have been wiser, more becoming, and
more dignilied to have done so aud then to
Lave txpressed, just as freely and as formally
as it should see fit, its opinion of its character.
The resentment actually shown looks too
much like petulance just aud natural, per
Laj s, but unseemly. It looks like the act ot
a man btung by a wasp,r a child teased into
writh by a malicious comrade.
Preparing for Kesuwptioii.
From the A. Y. Times.
The commercial intelligence of the country
Las been well represented in the deliberations
of the National board of Trade, for some days
in session at Cincinnati. Party politics Lave
Lad no inlluence in its proceedings. The
deli gates pretest Lave represented the varied
busim-ss interests of all Kectious, aud the sub
jects that have engaged their attention Lave
been toucidc ed solely from the practical
I point of view, and with strict refereu to
I their bearing upon legitimate enter
prise and prosperity. The resumption of
specie payments has been discussed at
I nrnnl 1 I. - .... 1 . ,. .
ieiiKiu, nun iil8 reiauve merits aua
feasibility of the plans most geurallv advo
cated have been carefully balanced. The con
clusions eventually anived at, therefore,
reprtseiit the matured judgment of a body
whose experience predisposes it to reject the
speculative and to accept only that which
seems most likely to divest au uupleasaut
process of unnecessary embarrassments.
The Board has decided, by a three-fourths
vote, that it is expedient for Congress to de
termine the time at which lenuuptlon shall
take place. The time, however, is uot indi
cated ill the resolution adopted. By a similar
vote the action of Congress is invoked to com
pel the national banks to accumulate tbe co!d
they may hereafter receive in the shape of
interest on nonaa deposited with the Govern
ment, and a proposal to impose the came
policy of accumuintion on the Treasury is
sustained by a majority of the delegates. Em
phatic approval is also given to the principle
of a measure legalizing gold contracts; whiJ'j
an opinion ia expressed adverse to the re
demption of bonds until after specie payments
f-hall have been restored.
Except upon a single point that relating to
ihe fixing of a time for resumption it will be
seen that the majority of the Board hold opi-'
uiccs identical with those of the Times. The
hoarding of gold is regarded as an essential
preliminary to resumption, aud the uude
sirableness of allowing the banks to sell their
gold is clearly recognized. Business meu
averse to ha3ty action and to a discrimination
for which there is not even a plausible reason,
are not willing to encounter the responsibili
ties of resumption unless the national banks
fully 6hare the preparedness of the Treasury.
Their demand for permission to buy and sell
for gold at pleasure i3 equally j'nst, and we
tiust will not long remain unsatisfied.
Our u1Ional Disgrace.
lYom the N, Y, Tribune.
The fact that barely twelve weeks of An
drew Johnson's Presidency remain to be en
dured should console U3 uuder many afllictious
and reconcile ns to many haidships. Plead
as we fairly may that the great party which
be has betrayed never meant to make him
President, while tbe party he Las treacher
ously served and fawned uion despised him
too heartily to think of accepting him as a
candidate, the Republic ha3 been shamed as
well as Econrged by him from tbe hour
wherein he reeled into the Vice-Presidency,
and will be till the place that knows him
shall know him no more. We have had bad
men in high office before; yet we are confl lent
that no man but Andrew Johnson was ever
chosen Vice-President of these United States
who c ould have provoked the scorn of Christen
dom by such au exhibition of native depravity
as is made in the following portion of John
son's last message:
"Our national ciFilit. sljouUI be sacredly ob

the other ndvau i nu;o. derived from their Invest
ment, would utl'ird to the pubiic creditors a
fair aud liberal comuonsHtiou for the uso of
their capital, and with this they should beeat
istied. The lessons of the past admonish tne
lender that It Is not well to be over-anxious lu
exetinn from the borrower rigid compliance
with the lottcr of tbe bond." 1
Comments by the Tribune.
Mr. Johnson has probably borrowed money
in Lis day, and may have done so when his
debts were so heavy, and Lis prospects so bad,
tnat nis note was not worth half its face. Let
us suppose him drawn into a difficult law-suit,
which involved all Le was worth. He applies
to a thrifty neighbor for $5000, being in abso
lute want of that sum to prosecute his suit to
judgment. The prudent capitalist inquires as
to the security, aud is pointed to the estate in
litigation. "Yes, but if you lose the suit, you
will have no estate." "Well," Le responds,
'if I lo3e the suit, you must lose the debt;
but if I win it, I will pay you double."
"Agreed," says the capitalist; "I will take the
risk." So Le borrows the 5000, and ;with it
wins the suit. How much does Le owe"? How
much ought Le to pay r Your answer decides
whether you are honest or a villain.
Bo far, we have admitted the truth of John
son's fundamental assumption; but that as
sumption is false. What the nation owe3 its
creditors is precisely what it agreed to pay
ihem no le3, no more. But the great mass
of them paid for their bonds the full sum
specified on their face often more. True,
they paid in greenbacks; but those greenbacks
had cost them their full amount in gold. It
was the debtor, not the creditor interest, that
profited by the depreciation of our currency.
Hundreds of thousands paid off iu greenbacks
ihtir mortgage and other debts uioh were
contracted when the currency was at par with
gold paid them ell with mouey obtained
by the sale of their products or their
labor at prices greatly enhanced by our
currency depreciation, livery one can call
to mind instances where farmers and others,
who had for years been struggling to meet the
interest on the mortgage given when they
bought their Huds, Lave been able to wipe out
tbat mortgage by the proceeds ot two or three
crops sold during the latter years of the war.
Creditors complained (not unjustly) that they
were thus paid oil too easily, aud wereau
ewtred, "Lend your mouey to the Government,
and j ou will fie paid your bonds iu gold; so,
what are you grumbling at t" They did lend
it uot millions only, but hundreds of mil
lions and thereby was tb Union saved. And
now a President of the United States tells the
public creditors that, if they are paid seven
teen years! intertst they may think themselves
lm-ky, though they never see a cent of the
principal.
The man who makes this suggestion is a
villain a biaeu, reckless, shameless vil
lain. He Las slepish confederates who share
Lis knavery but lack his effrontery. The
people have set their heel hard down on the
whole tribe in indorsing the Republican plat
form of 18GS through the election of (iraut
and Colfax. Repudiation will gain nothing
by Johnson's indorsement it will rather re
ceive a darker smirch from Lis well-earned
infamy. How naturally a traitor to those
who tiusted and honored Llm lends himself
to every form of baseness was already known;
but the truth has received a fresh illustration
in Johnson's crowning infamy.
It is extremely desirable that we 6bould
begin forthwith to fund our past due Fiv
twtnties at a lower rate than six per cent.;
but Johnson and Lis fellow repudiators seem
resolved tLat we shall never be able to do so.
This message will compel our people to pay
many millions in six per cent, interest which
they could have saved had our President been
content with the pyramid of disgrace Le had
already so laboriously erected. Only twelve
weeks more and the country will be rid of him
forever. It is Lard; but we can endure him
twelve weeks longer. Thank Heaven that Le
has power only to disgrace as I
A Chicken mnl Celery Convention.
Front the JV. r. World.
The annual meeting of the Pennsylvania
Anti-Slavery Society met iu Philadelphia on
Thursday. As there is no slavery in this
country, excepting the subjugation of intelli
gent, tax-paying white citizens to their black
barbarian rulers at the South, or the slavery
of inoranoe bo prevalent in the fichoolhonse-
iess rtepuMican eonnties in this state, or the
t-Iavery which compels white children to work
iu tLe Massachusetts factories from twelve to
liftten hours a day, we Kliould conclude that
the fret h war of a nti slavery was to bd waged
r.ga:i.et Cuba, or against the savagery of
f luvery which the free Republio of Liberia, iu
Africa, is new trying to suppress, if the
Aitti-,Kliv(ry IShnulanl, which publishes
the call for the meeting, did not en
lighten us as to the fresh wrongs which
threaten our own colored man and brother.
The freedom of that unfortunate aud trouble
some individual, we are told, is not yet con
summated, aud "the present condition of the
country, the testimony to the fearful peril
of the colored population in the South which
is constantly borne by themselves and thair
friends who witness it, urges U3 by the
strongest motives to work mightily for the
consummation of their freedom." Bat how
is this mighty work to be performed ? II ip
pily, we are informed. It is by the support of
the Standard, and the Stuwhird, we are told,
can only be supported by lavish contributions
of "coffee, tea, sugr, oysters, celery, boiled
chickens (for salad), eggs, butter, cream,
bincuits, cake (especially home-made
cake)," which the announcement says "will
be gladly received," not by the colored suf
ferer, but by the Standard. Here is some
thing as yet undiscovered by Uie or Soyer
er Blot. Mr. Wendell Phillips is to assimi
late vast quantities of cold boiled ohickens,
celery, and home-mado cake, anl forthwith
the freedom of the colored population of the
South is to be finally secured. Much salad
for Phillips is more suffrage for the negro;
cold-boiled chickens for the Standard are the
consummation of liberty and happiness for
Sambo. As tbis collection of chickens aud
celery seems, then, to be the immediate object
of the Anti-t-lavery Convention of this year, it
will be curious to see Low this chicken and
celery collection will ultimate result in the
consummation of the freedom of the colored
man.
