eminent Divine in the. Presbyterian

'John C. Breckenridge, to whom he
wrote several public letters before the
rebellion warning him -against the
constiuence of his course, and pre
dicting very nearly what afterwards
occurred. The letters were motels
of chaste diction; severe logic, and

treatment it received, that -of being
voted down. I f West Point Is thrown
open to the Japanese youths, it should
be thrown open to the youths of all
other countries; and if this is done it
could not well be reckoned in the fa.
ture an Ameriain Institution. Be--
sides this, if foreign pupils were al
low•etil to enter West Point, on condi
tion of paying their own expenses,
they would not be controlled by the
regulations governing the thstitu

the school. West Point belongs to,
this country, and we are in favor of
keeping possession of it as long as ehe

HERE AND THERE.
—Colorado has a balance of $55,000
in the Territorial Treasury and no
debt. The Governor in his annual,
mesgag,e, recommends, among other
things, the establishment of a bureau
of immigration, the abolition of the
grand jury system, better laws for
the collection of deLts. and the reduc
tion Of the'area of the Indian reserva
tion. -
—The President has been appealed
to by a large number of property'
holdersand others in New, Orleans
to put the•city under martial law.
He has within the last few days been
in receipt of a large number of tele
grams on the subject of the disturb
ances there, which he has referred to
Attorney General Williams for his
opinion. It is doubtful whether
martial law will be declared, but may
be the police and militia will be re=
strained from interfering with the
Legislature or Courts.
—Governor Washburn Wednesday
last delivered his first annual mes
sage to the Legislature of Wisconsin,
in which he alluded feelingly to the
relief afforded the sufferers by the
September and October fires In that
State, and gave a statistical account
of the moneyS - and supplies received
and expended therefor. Ho recom
mended the appointment of a Legis
lative Committee to act in conjunc
tion with the Relief Committee of
Green Bay and Milwaukee, to still
further help the needy.
-The "Ohio law" •is becoming
nearly as famous as the old "Maine
law" for the regulation of the liquor
traffic. The "Ohio law" provides
that the liquor dealers shalt be made
responsible for the injury done by
those who are under the influence of
liqUor sold by them. The courts
have the power to attach the prop
erty of the liquor dealers for damages
to the fullest extent. The law has
operated so . 4vorably that several
western states are discussing the ex
pediency of adopting it Illinois
and Minnesota will probably try the
experiment this winter.
:-The financial situation of New
York city is mit of the most hopeful
character Last Monday six mil
lions Of dollars of city bonds fell due,
and there is no provision to meet
the debt unless the Legislature pro-
vide immediately for the city credit
There is also a larger amount of ar
rears overdue. The city has failed
to pay the wages of the laborers and
for the material received on contract,
anti for the service of contractors, to
which the pubic. faith is pledged
The office of the Comptroller is.liter
ally besieged by laborers clamoring
for pay due for four months.
—James Fisk, Jr.. was' buried on
Tuesday, outside the picturesque
townsof Brattleboro, Vermont, fol
lowed to his grave by his comrades
in youth and his comrades in arms,
and with a quietude strangely in
contrast with the bustle of his life
aqd the hurry of his death. A funeral
sermon was preached by Charuain. n
Flagg, of the ninth regiment. The
earth was heaped over the. onstly
coffin -and the mourner slowly de
parted. Ashes had returned to ashes
and dust to dust, and the Princeof
Erie henceforth is only a name to be
mentioned in passing—a memory to
-smile at or be sad about, as the com
edy of his life or the tragedy of his
1 death may present themselves.
—The adjournment of the Court
before which.Mrs.'Wharton is being
I tried, from last Saturday until
Wednesday, was on account of the
•sudden death of the wife of one of the
jurors, whith occurred at ten-miles
distance from Annapolis. The law
would not permit the jury to disband
during the progress of the trial ;so
twelve were taken by the Sheriff to
together to the place where the body
lay. They remained there, at the
residence of the afflicted juryman,
over night, and on the following day
attended the funeral in a body, after
which they returned to their rooms
in Annapolis, the mourner being
obliged to leave behind him his
j young and motherly children.
—There is nothing like a good
lively neighborhood quarrel. It ex
cites a cheerful spirit of emulation,
and adds: incalculable value to the
language by increasing its stock of
choice epithets. It also encourages a
spirit of:invention, as was illustrated
recently in a feud of this kind in De
troit. The battle was hugging sadly,
when one of the belligerents brought
a parrot into requisition to keep up
the feeling, when the man of the hos
tile house ossed the door, the par
rot from its position in a frrnt win
dow made him uncomfortably con
spicuous by shouting, "You thief!"
and when the woman started for a
walk she was ihforined with the
most mortifying publicity that she
dyed her hair. This experiment
brought matters to 'a crisis at once,
and - the arm of the law was sought
for an injunction against the parrot.
--Thereis a town in New Hamp
shire, Alstead by name, which should
receive the immediate attention of
the Home Missionary Society. It
has, it is true, five churches; But
what tare churches with no ministers
to preach ; or pray to them? And
not a parson has Alstead. There is
one comparativelynlightened gen
tleman who wanted to buy a Bible
for his daughter, but in none of the
shops of the town was there a Bible
for sale. There was a minister there
at that time, and this anxious father,
calling upon him. Was informed that
the reverend person had only one
Bible but this he exp - 9ed his will
ingness to sell, remarking at the same
time that it had been little used !
We make these statements on the
authority of The Of.aborp' Trans
cript. The moral of the matter would
seem to be that in n - Small town one
meeting-house may 'be better than
five. What piety Aistead has should
consolidate itself.
—Springfield, has just had u
sensation. A former State official,
and, a man who has neenpkd high
positions, not only in the 'Common
wealth, but in the nation, has been
on a prolonged spree for some days
in her classic precincts. On Friday

OUR WkiUINVTON LETtER
WASHINGTON, D. C. Jan. 12, '72.
The firit week of Ccingress since its
rece-s. - closes to-day. It is thought
next seeks session will open'with a
reply In the Senate to Conkling's op
position to the one term policy, by
Mr. Sumner, strongly favoring it.
With the exception of a personal'
explanation of Senator Schurz in re
spect to a statement made ktr 4 , The N.
Y. imes of Dec. 2lst; there vlas but
little to note of interest in the Senate
proceedings of Monday—still Ims in
the House, save the Introduction of
bills and resolutions. Mr. Sumner,
as was anticipated, embraced the first
-•-• • rtunity to entertain the Senate
with reference to his civil rights bill
in shape of a memorial from the col
ored people of Washington praying
for its speedy passage.
In tne House, under the call of
States and Territories for bills and
joint resolutions fur reference, sever
al important bills were introduced
and appropriately referred. Among
them one in relation to bounties—by
Mr. Poland; one to regulate appoint
ments to office, by Mr. Willard; Mr.
Cox.offered a joint resoluthin recog
nizing the fact of belligerency of the
people of Cuba • in their war 'with
Spank--also • postal telegraph ; Mr.
MyerS, one to Wpm! ttJe collection of
the lucerne tax f' 71; and Mr. But
ler, of Ten nessee, to amend all'act re
lating to 1812 pensions.
Since Mr. Sumner, has presented
another memorial from thousands of
people in different parts of the coun
try praying the speedy passage of his
civil rights bill—Mt Wilson, a me
morial of the National Tetnperance
Mission, asking Congress to pass a
national prohibitory liquor law—Mr
Scott. Chairman of the Joint Select
Committee on Southern Outrages,
submitted a report under the sworn
statement of two gentlemen, setting
forth that Senator Clayton of Arkan
sas had made arrangements with the
Democrats of the Legislature of his
State by which, in consideration of
their supporting him for U. S. Sena
tor, he agreed to give a certificate of
election to Congress to Mr. Edwards
(Derr.) when Mr. Boles (Rep.) really
received a majority of the vote. To
this Mr. Clayton read from tnanu
script a denial of all the chargei made
against him . , and asksd that a special
committee be appointed to investi
gate the matter, which was granted;
and, from present appearances, he
will be able to vindicate himself in
every particular.
The apprenti, question at the
Government Printing Office is excit
iu,g a great deal of Interest among the
book-binders there. Through request
of the Superintendent, Mr. Clapp, the
apprentices iu the book bindery were
increased from six to ten. At that
time there were 100 book binders,
now there are 140. Mr. Clapp now
wishes a further increase, but,the so-
elegy opposes him and refuses to take
anymore, and on motion to abrogate
the rules of the society and leave the
apprentice question entirely with the
superintendent, the society unani
mously declines, claiming that neith
er the Government or any of its of
ficers have any right to dictate. Mr.
Clapp has mow out in a letter ex
plaining his position in the matter,
to wit : 'That the hook-binding As
sociation are imposing unjust and op
pressive restrictions upon this branch
of industry and thereby preventing
young men from learning useful
tspoacy etnd We IJUlt.c . = iutcrocAto of
the country are suffering thereby?'
' The civil service commission, or
rather the advisory board, is consid
erably bothered to know how to prac
tically carry their theory into prac
tice. Complaints are coming from
all parts of the countrylhat so little
chance is there of one getting a posi
tion under the Government, howev
er needy and worthy he may be, that
it is futile to make any attempt—at
any rate come all the way, to Wash
ington. The advisary board beim
been deliberating for the past two or
three days on a proposition to have
examining -boards stationed in the
different parts of thecountry for the
very especial convenience of those
who may wish to compete for a clerk -
ship. The commission. if is thought,
must have overlooked, in its delibera
dons, very many objectionable parts
which are now being brought forward
much to their dislike.
The resolution introduces_ In the
Senate on Wednesday by Senator
Carpenter stabbing at the civit ser
vim commission, or rather at its re
port, is considered a prelude to a gen
eral protest in Congress against it.
It is thought that if the Democrats
perceive that the Republicans gener
ally are disposed to oppose it, they
will favor it just to make a show.;
but if to the contrary they will op
pose it as a Republican measure,
which of course, they would, if -ever
in power, abolish instanter.
The Post-otlice Department will
soon issue a circular to Postmasters
directing them to receive mutilated
currency in payment for postage
stamps and stamped envelopes at
their full face. value when not more
than two-fifths of its original propor
tions are missing. The postmasters
will be required to forward such cur
rency by Adams express at Govern
ment expense to the U. S. Treasury
at Washington for redemption.
The Southern Republican Associa
tion, comprising members from all
the Southern States now residing
here, adopted in their meeting the
following resolution which indicates
clearly that the Sumner civil rights
bills is unqualifiedly endorsed by the
loyal South :
'-Resolved; That while we, the
Southern Republican Association,
are not prepared to questioner recom
mend the particular form -in which
the Sumner civil rights bill should be
adopted, whether as a put of the gen
eral amnesty bill, or as a separate
measure, yet, so far as it accords corn
plete civil rights and protection to
the citizens, we are in hearty sympa
thy with the measure, and give it our
cordial commendation."

The Committee of five appointed
by Secretary Boutwell last month, to
investigate into the internal working
Bureau of Engraving and Printing,
caused the suspension of work in that
bureau for several days, which gave
nearly eight hundred employees a
few days play with their usual day's
pay. Nothing was d Isvovered by the
Committee to impair the-confidence
the friends of Mr. MeCartee had in
him. Shortly the Lynch Committee
is expected to visit this department
and if the programme laid out Is
carried out, it will require one hun
dred counters ten days to do their
work, suspending the labors of- not
only the eight hUndred in 31ceartee's
bureau,, but will effect in other bu
reaus dependent upon the printing
bureau for work, four ()rave Wm
drede. It is hoped for the benefit of
the tax payers that some other meth
od may, be devised - to satisfy the
anxious minds, and that the employ
ees may be kept at work.

NATIONAL REPUBLICAN CON
VENTION.
To be Held June sth, at Philadelphia
WASHINGTON, 1). C.. Jan. 11, 1872.
• The Republican National Cominit:
tee, appointed by the Chicago Con
vention of 18G8, met in this city to
day to fix a place for holding the
next National Convention. Ex-Gov.
Clotlin, of Massachusetts, presided.
After a general exchange of opinions'
the question was taken on selediug
the first Wednesday in June as the
time fur holding the Convention. It
was agreed to—ayes 22, noes G.
On motion, the Executive Com
mittee decided to hear what delega
tions from cities had to say as to 'tick
place of holding the Convention. It
ways announced that propOiitions had
been received from Buestpn, Louis
ville, Cincinnati, Philadelphia, Btil
timore and Washington.
Dr. Luring advocated the selection
of Boston.
Mr. Wetherell presented the claims
of Philadelphia, which, together
with the State of Pennsylvania, re
quires political stimulus. Pennsyl
vania, he mid, Ores twenty-six elec
toral votes, which it Wall important
should be secured for the Republican
party. Ile stated that the hotel
keepers had given a pledge that they
would not charge extortionate prices.
Representative Stephenson, of
Ohio, presented the advantages of
Cincinnati as the place fit.the meet
ing of the Convention, it not only
Rettig utzuroa uzpietritotteattS rat tty ,
all the people. Among other rea
sons given by him was the fair distri
bution of the sittings of the National
Convention. The Republimn Con-'
vention had been held in Philadel
phia once; in the east twice; in the
west twice; but in the center never.
The sitting of the Convention in the
center must politically affect the cir
cumference.
Delegate Chapman recommended
Wic4hingtoti.
Ex-Senator Henderson gave rea
sons why, St. Louis should be select
ed. Some in Missouri have their
preference for timid, while there are
preferenees for others, but whoever
.may be nominated will be supported
by the Republican party of that State.
.The holding of the Convention will
`add something to strengthen the Re
publican party.
Uri motion of Senator Potneroy, the
Executive Committee proceeded to
vote by ballot for the place of hold
ing the National Convention. The
result was: Philadelphia, 18;
3 ; St. Louis, 2 ; Boston, 3;
Louisville, 3.
The Executive Committee decided
that each State shall have relegates
to the Convention to doublet he num
ber of Senators and Itepreseotativi,
and two for each organized territory,
Intluding the Territory of the Dis
trict of Columbia, which shall have
a right to vote.
CALL FUR THE CONVENTION
The following is the call adopted
by the Committee :

Interesting -Qpinion of Judge Shore
wood—Fondle Citizens Not Voters
Under the Law.
In the Philadelphia Court of Nisi
Prins,: Judge Sharswood delivered
his opinfon in the case of Mrs. Burn
ham against the election officers of
her precinct for refusing her vote at
the general election of last October.
The .plaintiff claimed that she was
duly qualified in all respects accord
ing to the constitution and laws of
Peimay I vania, while the defense held
that she was not a freeman in the
fuMsense in which that word is used
in the coustitution. Judge Shans
wood 'ruled that while the provisions
of the'phith article of that instrument
—ennitnonty called the Declaration
of Rights—extended to and included
both sex, and that when the 'words
"man" or " men " are therein used
they 'comprehend also women, and
while: : it is equally clear that a wo
man who is born in this country or
naturalized, as she may he under the
acts'of Congress, is a citizen as fully
entitled to the protection of the gov
ernmenteas a man; and with a right
fully to§any all
to to citizens, itthe privileges which
properly be long does
not fellow that ilia elective fnuichise
is one, of their privileges. Th is is ex
clusively regulated by the constitu
tion, -which has excluded many citi
zens from it by reason of age, non
payment of taxes.non-resideflc e with
p
the Commonwealth and the elec
tion district ior a certain period or
time. Neither had the amendments
to the constitution of the United
Stet** any bearing on the question,
sincethe right of the plaintiff to vote
was not denied or abridged "on ac
counter race, color, or previous con
diZr servitude." The only ques
ti s, whether the wonl " free
man'!' as employed in the constitu
tion of Pennsylvania, was intended
to confine the elective franchise to
maletitizens; After an exhaustive
examination of the laws ; and prece-
ilenk- bearing on the subject, the
Judge said that the uniform construct
tion of the provincial charters and
constitutions in which the word was
emplOyed, as well as under the con
stitutions since the revolution, has
been in accordance with the doctrine
that Pone but males have the right
to vote, and • that Pennsylvania had
a uniform and uninterrupted usage
of nearly two hundred years showing
that Women were never intended to
pos.sess the elective franchise. Judg
ment was therefore rendered for the
defendants.
