WOMAN'S SUFFRAGE IN PARLIAMENT. From the A. 1. World. Donbtlena the ''victory" for woman wool suffrage in the HouHe of Common will be the theme of infinite gratuUtiou by tho wif-frage-ftedking persona who are to assemble here next week in convention. But lest that body should, in the exuberance of its joy, go the length of enumerating its rhicenH of political franchise prior to their inenbation, it is proper to point ont to it that the bill which has passed to a second reading, in a thin House, by a vote in which, we in ty be tolerably confident, it advocates were re presented nearly in their full strength and its opponents by a very inadequate section of what must be their whole number, has not by any means become the law of England, and that, if it had, it is not at all the sort of measure which they are agitating for the en actment of in America. There is many a slip between the second reading in one House of Parliament and the final passage in both of a bill which appears to be socially so revolutionary, though in a purely political sense so nugatory, as this. The division indicated that less than half the House was present. There are possibly iu the whole House twenty thorough-going advocates of the extension of the suffrage to women. Of the remaining one hundred and odd who voted with them it is much more rational to believe, as the tone of the debate, bo far as we can catch it from the cable, authorizes us to do, that some were actuated by a wish to hear the subject debated, and others by a spirit of levity, than to believe that the majority of Englishwomen are pre pared to contradict in practice their own niott cherihhed prejudices for the sake of that logical analogy and that theoretical symmetry which the promoters of the bill seem to havu mainly in view in urging it. To predict that snch a bill will never, upon the compul sion of logic alone, pass a Parliament of the Englishmen of this generation is to hazard nothing. But what s'aould chiefly restrain the exu berant joy of our sisters is that the bill has recommended itaelf to such members of Par liament as have been persuaded to vote for it by the absence of all those properties which would, in their eyes, give such u measure its chief value. The bill does not alter or en hance the rights of married women at all. It leavesthe feme overt precisely where Bhe is left by the common law us having no legal existenoe independently of her husband. Virgins and widows can vota if the bill Bhould ever become a law; but matrons are left in their present predicament. Yet it is the woes of married women which bave formed the chief burden of the complaint of our own Equal Rights Associa tion and Woman's Parliament. These woes are alleviated by the statutes of this State to a mildness far beyond what remain the me diaeval rigors of the English law. And yet our own matrons those of them, that is, who feel moved to proclaim their wrongs through newspapers ana Irom plattorms although thus blessed above other women, uplift their querulous voices, as in the case of their legendary prototype, who was provided with ample comestible and bibulous, as they with legal, necessities and luxuries, and of whom it is nevertheless related that "This old woman would never keep quiet." What can we expect of the consistent seeker for suffrage in New York but that she should epew out of her mouth, as a thing neither cold nor hot, the bill ostensibly in behalf of her sex which had been introduced into Par liament, and denounce the mover of it, Mr. Jacob Bright, who made it a merit in his bill that under it "there would be bat one female to nine male voters," as a recreant and a traitor. We scarcely ever hear a complaint of the present system of things which does not pro ceed upon the oppression of wives by hus bands. But the heartless husband who figures so prominently in the lieoolutioa, and waine delight and occupation it is to lacerate, oppress, and trample upon the wife of his bosom, is left at liberty by this bill to pursue those practices with the impunity whioa now attends him. The married women have nei ther actual nor virtual representation under a law which extends the suffrage to unmar ried women. Nay, their case is worse than if they were left exclusively at tho mercy of men. For the unmarried woman, at the time she attains the legal majority of man, is already passing from the marriageable period of woman, and a few years more will convert her into an inveterate old maid; and nothing is more notorious than the persistent and vindictive persecution with which the ancient virgin embitters the life and maligns the character of the married of her sex. It is awful to think what would boconi) of our own champions of a stricken sex if suah a measure should pass an American Legisla ture. Two women are grinding at the mill of the Revolution. Miss Anthony would bo taken to purify the polls or to enlighten the legislature, and Mrs. Stanton be left to raise horrid clamors, despair aud die. The celibate would devote her faculties, as voter or as legislator, to wreaking her revenges upon the hated race of matrons. And the last state of that married woman would be worse thin the first. Let not our sisters be too forward to cele brate the Parliamentary friends who thus keep the word of suffrage to the ear but break it to the hope. LITEBIES. From the N. T. Tribune. "One-half the world," it is said, "knows not how the other half lives." Professor Francis Bowen, in his peaceful academio re treats of Cambridge, does not believe that the atmosphere of America will tolerate a livery or a four-in-hand. He points out that in the United States a man hardly knows what to do with a large income. "The cus tom of the country, the force of publio opinion is such, that be cannot make his personal expenditure equal to bis income, even if he wished. He must not keep a car riage and four, nor have a footman to hUu t behind his more modust equipage, nor clothe his servants in livery, nor adopt many others of the badges by which sum persons try to convince the world that they are people of consequence. Wo do not tolerate gold laoe, nor cocked hats, nor tall footmen with gold-headed canes." It is to be feared that Professor Bowen does not study society with that comprehensiveness which befits a phil osopher. A single promenade through Fifth avenue, in New York, iu winter, or through Bellevue avenue, in Newport, in summer, will occasion quite a revision of page !( of his newly-pntli-hed work on political ooouo'tiy "No umn must mutt" says one of those man philosophers whom Mr. Bowen de-p'uo-i. It is ptill more perilous to "must not." A good many contrive to do, amid immense applause, and vory publicly, the precise deeds which our political eoonomtst declares to be impossible. Carriagos and four are a daily spectacle; liveries are exceedingly common in our fashionable resorts, even if those pleasing sin have not reached the cbafte precincts of Cambridge. And if foot men do not "stand behind the more modest equipage-' it is because they are seated, with arms folded, in a "dickey, ,r and look a shale more miserable than if they stood up. Cocked hats and gold-headed canes, perhaps, are still to be imported the latter, possibly, awaiting the return of specie payments. But a livery is a livery, whether the lace be gold or silver. It is something, no doubt, to have simpli fied the patterns. General Washington's liveries, while turned up with green, were doubtless ns much more picturesque than ours as was the Continental uniform than the dark blue of to-day. The showy English liveries have never got themselves trans planted any more than tho court dresses or the judicial wigs. It is doubtful whether any native American coachman ever wore knee-breeches; if he did, he probably as sumed a brogue and swore only in Irish as he tugged them on. But the English and Irish wear them readily, and indeed rather enjoy tbem. We have known an unliveried servant in a family to demand them as his right, as serting that he had ns good a log ns Mike or Patrick, his seniors in command. Indeed, the arguments in favor of liveries, be they stronger or weaker, are as well understood by the servant as by the employer. If they are a token of suHordination as viewed from above, they are a mark of dignity as viewed from below. They imply a certain position of confidence. He who wears a livery has thus far kept what he calls "his character. " A drunken vagabond loses his livery. It is like the uniform of the private soldier a token of inferiority us regards his captain, but of dignity as regards civilians. To be stripped of his uniform is for a soldier the last dis grace, aud the same with the liveried servant. Then for the employer, the livery is a guarantee against dirt, rags, and fantastic neckties it furnishes a ready moans of identifying one's own carriage in a crowd, and it also helps domestic discipline. Livarios are very repressive, here again resembling the soldier's uniform. It was found during our war that the most troublesome recruits settled down to obedience the day they wore put in uniform. The trouble with these arguments is that Borne of them prove too much aud others are afterthoughts. An American do mestic is not in the position of a private soldier, nor is it desirable tint ha should be; that right of command, that ab solute authority which is needful for war would in peace be intolerable. Moreover, the millionaire and the fine lady do not, in America, put their sorvants in livery for the judicious reasons just assigned; they do it commonly became it is done in Europe. This is shown bv t no servile way in which they copy the usages of foreign flunkeyism that have least meaning here; ns where a retired grocer decorates his coachman's hat with the high cockade, which in England designates the servant of a civil functionary, or where a young lady rides in ine i htk witn a groom bearing an inexplie v ble belt, such as in England sustained the despatcn-box of a member of Barhament. We knew a young man of fortune, slenderly provided with wits, who returned from the grand tour with' a single piece of valuable information, namely, that Americans knew nothing about style, since they allowed their footmen to wear moustaches, instead of sternly limiting them, as in England, to side whiskers. The simple truth is, that most people put their servants in livery because they secretly wear livery and are flunkeys themselves. After all, the line is not so very hard to draw. In the present state of society "domes tic service," as it is called, is in some form inevitable. There can be no objection to an employer s providing the clothes for a man servant, or prescribing what the dress shill be with this one clear limitation, that h9 should require no man to wear anything which be himself would be ashamed to wear. In our most fashionable resorts yon may generally distinguish the coaoh men or footmen of people of sense by a plain suit of black or dark blue, such as any gentleman might wear in the street without attracting attontion. Already in England the upper-servants, like Morgan Pendenuis, wear no livery; and George Sand, in ber autobiography, points out with plea sure that French carriages are now generally luado with seats for the attendants, or with self-opening doors. Aristocratic follies, all ttie world over, are being gradually softened, rather than abruptly removed, indeed, the forms often outlive the spirit, as the backs of our carriages still bear the dangling tassels by which footmen once held on, and some times even the bulging boxes which onoe held weapons to assist highwaymen. We are advancing, certainly, though not yet so wholly rid, ns Professor Bowen thinks, of what Hood's old negro woman calls "our Pompeys and our vanities." SOME HINTS FOU MEMBERS OF CON GRESS. Fromihe AT. I'. Time. What reason can be assigned by Congress for delaying general amnesty ? The objects of the nation in repressing the Rebellion would seem to have been all accomplished, so far as force and intellect can accomplish them. The growth into harmonious relations with every part of our country, like all growth, mubt be a matter of time, and, although capable of being retarded, cannot be hastened beyond a certain point. Slavery, which made discord in our institutions, has been entirely removed from us so efiectnally that we cau safely declare its destruction the logical result of the war, even without the compact by which the South consented to its abolition. The readiness of that consent by all whose abili y and position gave them influence in tbe slave States, is an evidence that thinking men saw the destruction of slavery already accomplished, and that they regarded the consent to its constitutional prohibition as little more than the declaration of a truth they had no longer any power to ignore. It was an institution to which the enunciation of the principles involved in that four years' strife was fatal like certain reptiles which live in darkness, it perished with the light. With the consent of the South that slavery bhould be prohibited in every section of our country, we had nothing to fear from tht institution. It was dead already, ana this new compact was little else than its decent burial out. of siyht. That issue then was f flectually disposed of, and needed no further legislation. To secure the negro in his nowly Hcquired lights of manhood, the action of CongrebR bus been carriel to its fullest extent, und it certainly seems as though nothing which laws could perform had been left un done. Ti en followed the granting of pliti ch) reditu, .;nd thes are now (jimr.iatd by '1 e ('..! -1 i'l ti.i Itself. :in1 Umis m.jde pnati tully ili.tq able of 10 vocation. What more is to be demanded before we restore the rights of self-government to the Southern States without limitation f Is it that we feel called npon to exercise retribu tion for the crime against the nation of whioh tbey have been ruilty ? This is no part of the provinoe of human law. The infliction of punishment, though it must be governed by tbe strictest rules of justice, or it fails of its effect, has for its object solely the protec tion of society. Law is cruelty if it goes be yond this, except for the direct benefit of the wrong-doer himself. And even here we have examples enough in history of the most deadly wrong inflicted by means intended to rescue the so-called criminal from the path of error. The Inquisition is but one warning among many against attempts on tho part of Government to remedy moral evil. If we cannot be content with the retribu tion which their own deeds have brought upon the rebellious States the more espe cially as it has involved the innoaent with the guilty, and has brought to ruin those who would gladly have avoided the issue we must be unreasonable indeed. But tho most important point, and the only one now really left for us to be influenced by, is that of a common interest as citizens of a common country. Can we afford to leave an element of strife for an undefined period in a country where self-government is such an absolute necessity as in ours ? What gives us our power to legislate for the Southern States without being resisted almost without re monstrance ? It is the recollection of evils bo recently suffered as to be within the re membrance of all. With every year this re collection is less vivid, and in time it will be come a thing altogether forgotten as a lesson. The revolutions in Franco, recurring at almost stated intervals of a generation, are an evidence that a strong government is sub mitted to unhesitatingly only so long as the generation remembers the evils of anarchy from which that government has rescued them. These remote evils have not been felt by the men of the new era, and they perceive only the bonds which gall them. We are not disposed to look upon the gloomy side of the question, or to entertain fears which stand in the way of the freest exercise of duty. But we caunot ignore the fact that our Government is founded upon, not merely the sovereignty of the people, but the fullest recognition of tho voice of the governed, and we have vastly extended the right of suffrage and made its uuiversalitya poli tical tenet. It makes a jar with our system to hold whole communities disfranchised, nor can that system long work with tho friction called for by such an exercise of power. Such legislation should be of as short duration as possible, and can be justified only by tha pressure of stern necessity. Where is that necessity? Our Government is the people's choice, and was never suited to the permanent enforcement of legislation distasteful to any considera ble portion of that people. The South can never be prevented from deeming that the suffrage they once possessed is a right, and the denial of it a stretch of the most ar bitrary power. We say again it matters not that they have provoked such action. The question is, whbther the interests of the whole country will bear its continuance. We call ourselves generous because we secure the amplest civil rights to every resi dent, and grant political powers to all comers with the least possible delay. This is not mere generosity. It is a wise appreciation of the necessities of our Government aud our institutions. How long will it be before we realize the inconsistency of refusiug those rights, even to misguided Rebels, when their efforts have been entiroly foiled, and they cannot stand in any other relation to us than that of fellow-citizens? "PEN-PICTURES OF POOR GIRLS." from the Baltimore American. "A Fkmalk Hrfohtek Ab lalles who go out of their 'sphere' expect to be criticized, aud are not afraid to Bee themselves as others see them, there can be no harm lu transferring the following pn plcture of a female reporter, who wus recently la professional attendance at a Woman Suffrage Con vention lu lavton, onto: ".Miss faille M. Joy represented the Boston rout Khe distinguished herself by her generally In dependent, dou't-carc-a-cent air, aud bv the number or books she carried under her arm and kept on her tabie. She walks with something of a masculine stride, and always carries a pencil in her haud. Hue haa the Bostuulo affection lor eye glasses, wears a sailer hat, and dresses neatly but plainly. As title Is not pre-eminently "a thing f beauty," I should think her chances of remaining "a Joy forever" are good.' "The photographer might have refrained from throwing 'that laat brick.7" We clip the above precious morsel from a recent issue of the Hun. The gallant young man who drew the "pen picture" was no doubt merely venting some personal spleen on Miss Joy for ''beating'' him in his own profession, but we think he might have taken Lis revenge in a manner that would have been leBB wounding to the young lady's feelings. It is not the first time in the history of jour nalism that jealous youngsters have solaced their wounded vanity by making ugly pic tures of their rivals, and we Bhould dismiss this malicious Bohemian and hid "pen-pio-ture" without a word of comment, were it not for the editorial suggestion that a woman is out of her "sphere" when she becomes a "re porter." There is a disposition in some quar ters to sneer and snarl at every woman who tries to earn an honest living outside of the ordinary avocations to which the Bex has hitherto been confined. When ever a youDg lady dares to compete with men in any of the pursuits of indus try which they have arrogated to them selves, she is compelled to encounter a storm of ridicule and detraction which few have the courage to provoke. Every peculiarity of dress and figure is mercilessly caricatured, and Bhe is fortunate if the purity of her character is not assailed. It is a brave woman indeed that dares expose herself to these poisoned arrows, which wound and sting, if they do not kill. No wonder that the timid and sensitive shrink back, aud choose poverty and misery in the stations to which an un reasoning publio sentiment has assigned them, rather than endure the gibes and flings which every unprincipled scribbler is at liberty to throw. No wonder that the few fields in which they are graciously allowed to glean are crowded to repletion, and that the sorrowful "Song of the Shirt" i3 repeated every day in the experiences of thousands of young women who are coinpellod to sew for a wretched pittance because they fear to at tempt to do anything else. It is no doubt very desirable that every woman Bhould have a husband and a home, and that the warmth of her affections and the Bkill of her hands bhould be expended in making that home happy, but in the very nature of things this canuot be. The number of women who do not marry is iuorjasiu every year, and of course thenumber who must earn their own support is increasing in tho same ratio. In a few years it will be impossi ble to restrict them to the employments to which immemorial custom has assigned them. The sharp necessities of existence will as sert themselves in spite of ridicula aud de traction. W ned more fdrls who dare to be pioneers in thee new fields. We commend the firmness and prudence of those young women in Philadelphia whom neither the coarse vulgarity of lecturers nor the loud bellowings of rowdy students could drive from the study of medicine. A young lady was recently admitted to the bar in St. Louis, and if her presence in the court-room shall induce a little more courtesy, a little less bullying of witnesses, a little more regard for truth and honor among lawyers, her countrymen will not be sorry that she has forced her way into a profession that sadly needs reforming. A few of the leading news pnpers in the North and West employ ladies us reKrters and correspondents, and although home of them, like Miss Joy, are compelled occasionally to look upon "pen-pictures" of themselves, done in Bohemian ink, we are not aware that journalism has suffered by their labors. We rejoice whenever a new field is opened up to women's industry, and we advocate their right to labor at whatever their hands are fitted to do. The unmarried women of the nineteenth century (with the exception of a few favored daughters of the rich) have the greatest of all earthly problems before them how to support themselves and we envy not tLe henrt of the man who would lay aught in their way. THE CODE OF HONOR. l'ri.m the Cincinnati Commercial. So much has been said in Kentucky and this city recently about duelling, or fighting with formality, and so many persons, who venture opinions on the subject with confi dence, are ignorant of the code, that it may be opportune to give a little authentic infor mation relating to the matter. Whatever may be said of the absurdity, barbarism, and atrocity of duelling, there is to be remarked in its favor that it is better than street fighting, if for no other reason because innocent persons aro not placed in peiil by it, and that it is calculated to miti gate the savogery of personal encounters. A few days ago there was in this city a case of "posting" in an anonymous news paper article, and this was supplemented in the night following by a private note, ex plaining to the person who had been "posted" as an exceedingly improper individual who the person was who thought he had done it. The following opinion of the bearings of tbe code upon this case is prepared from the highest authorities, by one who is perfectly funiiliar with them, and we presume its aocu racy in all particulars will not be disputed. 1. Any one "posting" an antagonist is presumed to recognize the "Code of Honor." 2. Posting is justifiable only as a dernier retxoj t, and when a demand for satisfaction has fuiled for insufficient reasons. Therefore, to "post" without previous challenging must be regarded as mere bravado. To say publicly that one is a "coward" without previously giving him an opportunity to show whether or not he is one, is manifestly gratuitous and absurd. 3. After receiving insult so serious as to require notice, the course under the code is first to demand explanation, and if not given, or unsatisfactory, then satisfaction. To post instead, with the view of provoking a chal lenge, indicates a purpose to obtain an unfair advantage, as thechallenged party would, by the reversal of positions, secure choice of weapons, ground, distance, etc. 4. Mr. Ilalstead is not required to notice (he tltji of Mr. McLean, as expressed in the editorial of the Enquirer of the 28th of April. Its mode and language are improper. Ad mitting that all preliminary steps to obtain satisfaction had been complied with, and exhausted, to post with a "we" is as ridicu lous as Mr. Weller's suggestion to Justice Starleigb, in the trial of Bardell vs. Pickwick, about the spelling of his name. The "we" might embrace all the editorial employes of tbe paper. A dozen or half a hundred per. tons might very safely "post" a single indi vidual. ". The private note of Mr. McLean to Mr. Ilalstead, apprising him of his responsibility for the Knquirer't article, does not in the least alter the condition of the difficulty, but only goes further to show that the article was written for popular effect, and not with a view of fighting. The rules for seeking satisfaction under the code are clear and well-defined, and would surely have been fol lowed by McLean had he meant business. His procedure, with men of honor, can only be excused on the ground of ignorance or unreflecting passion. SPECIAL NOTICES. jg5 BRANCH OFFICE, CONTINENTAL IMPROVEMENT COMPANY.

To vhom it may concrrn: All the leading medical authorities recognize the value of diflusive stimulants. Numerous eminent physieiaaa nd surgeons might be named who have advooated their employment In the treatment of a large olass of disorders. No Dispensary is considered complete without them. Tbey are prescribed iu all publio and private Hospitals, and administered by all bedside practitioners. , But tbe difficulty ha been to obtain iilcoholic Xiquors Fure. The pungent aroma of the fusel oil and biting acids pre sent in all of them can be scented as the glass is raised to tbe lips. Tbe nauseous flavor of taese active poisons is peroeptible to tbe palate, and a burning sensation in tho stomach attests their existence when the noxious draught baa gone down. Paralysis, idiocy, insanity and death are the pemioious fruits of such potations. Medical science asks for a pure stimulant to us as s specific whioh while it diffuses itself through the system more rapidly than am other known agent, ia brought Into direct and active contact with the seat of disease. It ia the property of the stimulant to diffuse, and by the aid of its peculiar nutritious component parts to Invigorate, regulate, counteract aud restore, and it ia by the happy union of the principle of activity with the prinolplet of invlgoration and restoration that enables a To accomplish benofioial results.
