Thk ladies are divided on the ques
tion of woman suffrage. On lact Thurs
day the 1 4 ill inet., a memorial against
female suffrage, containing fifty thousand
names of women, was read in Congress,
by Mr. Buckingham, of Connecticut.
Hon. A. J. Ackertnan, President
Grant's Attorney General, tendered his
resignation of tlio office of Attorney
General, to President Gant on the 13ih
inst. The resignation was accepted on
the same day. Hon. George A. Williams
was appointed to fill the vacancy.
An exchange says Alexander II , the
Czar of Russia, has signed the temper
ance pledge at the solicitation of the Em
press. Per contra : Somebody asked
Bismarck why old King William was
eo healthy. "Ach well," said the Pre
mier, '"because ho drinks no water and
wears red flannel next his skin."
Labor and Capital.
On the 13th inst , Win. U oarof Mas
sachuetts, of the Lower House in Con
gress, "lrom tbe (Jommtttee on Educa
tion and Labor, reported a bill providing
for the appointment by the President,
with the advice and consent of the Sen
ate, of a commission of three, to hold
office for two 'years, unless their duties
shall bave been sooner accomplished,
who are to investigate the subject of the
wage and hours of labor and of the di
vision of tbe joint profits of labor and
capital between the laborer and the aapi-
talist, and the social educational, and
sanitary condition of the laboring classes
of the United States, and how the same
are affected by the laws regulating com
merce, finance and currency. The com-,
missioners are to receive a salary of
$5,000 each, may employ a clerk, and
shall report the result of their investiga
tion to the President, to be by him trans
mitted to Congress."
Thus it will be seen that the question
of "Capital and Labor" has been brought
np for the consideration of Congress
Nowhere on the earth, and at no time in
tbe history of the people of the world,
has labor been so well rewarded and hon
ored as here under the Republic. The
American people are a laboring people.
There is not a place in church or State in
this country that may not be occupied
by persons from the ranks of labor.
The great distinguishing feature about
our system of government is, that it has
for its corner stone, honored labor The
millionare of to-day may be the laborer
of to-morrow. Change it, and the laborer
of to day may be the millionaire of to
morrow. The laborer may become a
capitalist, and a capitalist may become a
laborer. With all this similarity there
is a belief that labor and' capital are not
in accord with each other as they should
be.
Mr. Hoar's resolution has for it ol ject
an investigation of these two great levers
of society, and, if possible, the sugges
tion of a platform on which labor and
capita can meet and better understand
each other. It is a gratification to see
how credibly Mr. Iloai was sustained by
the leading members of the Repulican
party in Congress. It is a matter of
regret to see the Democrats in Congress
array themselves against the measure.
The Republican party is the laborers
friend.
Tammany la Prison and before the Court.
' On last Friday the grand jury of N.
Y., fonnd true bills of criminal character
against Tweed and Connelly, chiefs, of
Tammany., Tweeds prison for a time
was tbe Metropolitan Hotel. A despatch,
dated on the 16th, speaks of bis impris
onment at the hotel, and of- bis grand
drive to the Court Hwuse, and his re
ception there :
Uis excellency, Hon. Wm. M. Tweed
passed a quiet night at the Metropolitan
Hotel, where apartments were fitted up
in georgeous style for Lis excellency,
without regard to cost. Everything nec
essary for his comfort and convenience
and even luxury was obtained.
At nine o'clock this morning a mes
senger arrived at tbe hotel with a writ
ten communication to Hon. Wm. M
Tweed, asking at what hour it would be
convenient for his excellency to appear
at the court house. Mr. Tweed named
the hour of eleven, and promptly at that
hour a splendid barouche, drawn by four
white horses, appeared the private en
trance of the hotel, and shortly after Mr.
Tweed appeared and entered and was
drawn swiftly away, amid the applaudits
of the multitude assembled to catch a
glance of his excellency. Mr. Tweed
raised his hat kindly and bowed as tbe
swift coursers rapidly sped on their way
to their destination.
On arriving at the conrt house an im
mense throng was assembled, and as he
passed through the portale of the court
every hat was raised and every head
was bent as his excellency, attended by
the slieriff and suit, passed. He was
greeted here by many friends of Tam
many, and a perfect ovation took place.
The proceedings were looked upon with
a jealous eye by a few friends of law
and order, but their sympathies were
quickly withdrawn under the warlike
array which was presented by tbe noble
Democracy assembled. At 11:45 the
judges appeared and the court was called
to order.
Letter from an Old Jaekaaalaa Dtfieerat

Mr. Boutwkli. said in his late lec
ture at the Academy that the State of
Texas could hold the population of the
whole Union, even if that population
were as large as that of Massachuetts
And another estimate was that if the
whole of New England were as densely
popnlated as Massachuetts, it would have
10,500,000 inhabitants. Ex.

bis paper againt President Grant. The
reason is found in the fact that tbe Presi
dent failed to honor the application that
George sent in for an appointment as
Minister to Mexico.
Alexis was the guest of the Cana

THE Woman Suffrage Convention, in
session at Washington, recently, passed a
eeries of resolutions demanding suffrage
as a right, and because it is necessary to
render borne bappy, and cause a reforma
tion in society ; ask Congress to give
them suffrage in the District of Colum

iuc principles or mis society are ae
clared by a city paper to-be as follows
first. 1 lie fraternity of mankind, to
be regarded as a principle paramount to
the geographical boundaries of nations,
r cnnd l lie abolishment ot war as a
mode of settling national disputes, and
consequent abolishment of the death
penalty in any form.
Third. The federative principle to be
appLed to all States, and to be maintain
ed on a system of international arbitra-tion
Fuwth. The resumption by the State
(as the custodian of Mature) of all pro
perty relinquished by the death of the
proprietor, in order that it may be dis
tributed (through public sale and de
posited in the pnblic treasury) to the suc
ceeding generation.
Fifth- The abolition of all monopolies
founded upon special legilalivo charar-
ters.
Sixth. Universal suffrage.
Seventh. Marriage contracts to be sim
plified to a formal acknowledgement be
fore a magistrate: and
Eighth. The trade of public prositu-
tion to be prohibiten by a ngerous appli
cation of industrial penalties.
Lunch-Basket System.
An experiment known as the "lunch
basket system" has beci recently tried
on one of the railroads in England. It
is designed for the accommodation of the
traveling public who have no opportunity
to obtain refreshments on long journeys.
The contractors furnish baskets of an
ealy portable and compact size and form
well stocked with the materials for a
comfortable luncheon that is to say,
half a fowl, ham, bread and butter,
cheese, salid, a pint of claret or other
light beverage, plates, knives and forks,
glasses and napkins the price being
three shillings. The baskets, which are
made for the purpose, are provided with
every necessity and convenience, and in
side the lid is affixed a printed card re
questing that, as do deposit is required
nor charge made for the use of the con
venience in the, basket, all the articles
will be replaced in their proper positions,
and the basket delivered up complete at
the end of the journey.
Skve.ntkkn miles from Pineville, Mc
Donald county, Missouri, exists one of
the most wonderful caves known. Its
entrance is near Sugar Creek, and being
near the Arkansas line, it extends nnder
the battle ground of Pea Ridge, Arkan
sas. It has been explored to a distance
of eight or ten miles, and is said to be
thirty miles long, containing a great num
ber of large rooms, besides a river and a
lake of good clear water. The rooms.
as is common in caves is limestone rock,
are ornamented with most magnificent
stalactites, which glisten in the light of
explorers' torches as if set with dia
monds. This cave, which seems to rival
the famous Mammoth Cave of Kentucky
in extent and number of wonders, was
used as a place of refuge during the re
bellion, and upou its lake explorers found
an old boat left there by former occupants.
Altogether, this cave, if correctly de
scribed by those who have already seen
it is well worth a visit by the tourist who
is at the same time a lover of novel and
wonderful scenery. Prrtt.
Shooting Affray.
Richmond, Va., Dee 14. A shooting
affray occurred here at one o'clock to
day, which will probably prove fatal to
one of the participants. John Fuelling
is well known as a sporting man and
gambler, as is also his autagoni-t and
partner in business, Andrew Monteiro,
The shooting, which took place in front
of the post office, was brought about by
a dispute, during which Snelling knock
ed Monteiro down and kicked him. Be
ing told by a bystander not to strike
him, Snelling desisted, whereupon Mon
teiro raising himself on his elbow, drew
a revolver and shot his assailant three
times in the right breast. Monteiro then
attempted to cross the street, but before
he could do so Snelling, while almost in a
dying condition, drew his revolver and
deliberately aimed and fired at him, in
flicting a slight wound. Monteiro is un
der arrest' The doctors Bar Snellinsr
ill not live. The parties are well
known to the Philadelphia sporting fraternity.
Sunday a flock of eight or ten bun
dred antelope crossed the Platte, and
came through a gale that was left open
and ou Monday they came up the Delta
to the town limits. They even went
across Mr. Greely's lot, giving it a thor
ough inspection and browsing some of
the evergreens. Soon crowds of the
town hunters went out, and many were
killed. They crossed the Cach-ala-Pon
dre, and endeavored to escape by leap
ing the fence, but they bit the wire above
the poll and fell back. Yesterday morn
ing men and teams went out, and ante
lope meat became altogether too cheap.
Greeley Tribune, Dec. 6.
A Maine young lady, who endeavored
to put to a practical test an old legend
which promises a sight of her future bus
band to the spinster who goes down a
celler backward on the last tiight of Oc
tober, fell to the bottom of the stairway,
amid streams of kerosene and showers of
broken glass, causing a terrible racket,
and effectually spoiling her beauty.

Naaa Beth Stab Tatbbh,
December 9, 1871. J
Afy Dear Mr.' Editor : I thought
that I'd get up to Court this week, but I
didn't It would have done me good to
see the sew Judge that our party helped
to elect. I don't bear of onr fellows
I talking of the amount of stock in him,
but the truth of the Batter is clear to all
that we bold quite a deal of it, for yon
know that without our belp yon fellows
never could bave elected him. I never
heard you crow over bis ' election, and I
suppose that was the reason. You didn't
want to make us fellows ''feel bad by
claiming it all to yourselves. There is a
good deal of Andy Jackson about some
of you fellows. Andy, you know, never
abused a fellow on the other side when
that fellow helped him. He never abused
a man for doing what was right. It was
right to ' elect Junkin Judge. ' I bave
just come from tbe bar-room of the "Sev
en Stars," where I heard a good deal
said about the new Judge, for there I met
some of our folks that represented Green
wood at Court thb week, and of course
when our fellows come home, all they talk
about for a while is what was said, seen
and done at Mifflin. It is as big a thing
for our fellows to go to Mifflin as it is for
you fellows to go to Harrtsbnrg or Wash
ington during the time the Legislature
or Congress is in Bession, and they al
ways come home if you felTows don't
feeling bigger than when they left, and
a thinking and acting as if the things
around home don't quite fit, that the af
fairs are too small for them, or they are
too big for their things around them. It
is a big thing to have a big feeling. Not
all people feel big, but the most do. The
Speaks -don't feel just that way, but they
have a sort of a feeling of pride for their
stock, and may be the best of it is like
the Irishman's potatoes, under the ground.
The pride of stock among the Speaks is
a sort of a family feeling almost as old as
the hills. It has run in the family ever
since that Speak that came over to what
is called John Bull's land, with the Sax
ons, and took from the Britons a big
piece of land and set himself np as
nobleman. Ever since that time the
Speaks are great people in England. It
is a mighty nice thing to be a big bug
over there A big bug over there means
big bug, but here in this country it
doesn't mean anything ; all the shines it
that kind of business in this country are
like the shines that that four-footed thing
tried when it wanted to swell itself up to
the size of an ox. You know it busted,
and that was the eud of it. Well, that's
just the way with our Americans who
want to swell np like the big bugs of the
old country, they generally bust. Over
there they can't bust, you know, for the
reason that the oldest boy of the family
gets all that his pap owned, and his old
est son gets what he owned, and that's
the way they keep np their big bug stock
Here a man may be as rich as a King,
and his oldest son and all the yonnger
ones too, may get to be as poor as Job's
turkey. Well, the younger fellows of the
family over there, they generally make
preachers or lawyers of, or get them into
thearmy or navy, or get them a fat gov
ernment clerkship." My great-grandfather
didn't happen to be the oldest son, and
of course he didn't get the estate. If he
had been the oldest son, you may bet
high that I wouldn't be writing for the
Sentinel. I guess I'd be a writing for
the London Timet. I'm satisfied that if
I lived over there I'd say, like Andy
Jackson, by the Eternal, these things
ain't for the good of the people, and they
can't be right. .We ought to change
them. You know, too, that old Andy
didu't like big bugs. No, sir, not him.
They tell a yarn about tbe great Andy,
how he fixed an English nobleman who
came to the hotel in tbe town where Andy
was. He turned up his nose at every
thing and everybody about the place, and
told the landlord that he must bave him a
room fixed up very different from any
thing about the bouse. Old Hickory
beard all this, and told the landlord that
he wanted him to pass the Englishman
over to him for the night. The landlord
agreed. Andy sent a man to sweep out
a corn-crib that stood near the stable,
and put a little stand iu it, and a candle
on it, and a chair and a bundle of clean
straw in the crib, and when all was ready
told the Englishman that he'd show him
to his room, and took him down to the
crib and opened the door. The English
man looked in, not thinking of a trick,
when Andy pushed him in, and hung a
pad-lock in the staple, and left it locked
till morning. I don't say that Andy did
such a trick. I only tell it to show how
he disliked swells and Frenchy fellows
and big bugs. Old Andy had what yon
fellows call dignity, but be wasn't a big
stuck np big bug.
All the Green wooden that saw the
new Judge kind o' speak well of him
the most of them are Democrats. They
say that there isn't nothing of the stuck
up about him but that be is a plain man,
just like us fanners, and that he likes to
talk to the people when he has time.
They said that be sometimes steps down
off of the bench and talks to the people
about him. He isn't so puffed up that a
common man can't talk to him. They
said that he has a way of showing up
the right side of a case, right along as
it is tried, and sometimes be shows the
true situation of the case by telling an
anecdote, and this is the only thing that
they didn't like. They couldn't find
anything else to condemn. They haven't
fonnd a crack in bis honesty or .bis abil
ity. And I tell you that was the way
with Andy Jackson. . Whatever odd
ways he had, ho was always honest and '
able, and the people knew that, and that
gave him a bold upon tbe popular heart.
I can never forget bow good our fel
lows felt the evening that I got to the
Fair over the news that I believe a dis
tinguished citizen of Greenwood town
ship brought to the Fair-ground, that
Junkin was licked by a few votee. They
winked, nodded and shook a fellow's
band till he thought it would come off at
the shoulder; and we fellows, that voted
for Junkin felt our upper lip getting stiff
and coming down over our under ones at
an awful rate We felt awful serious
then, but before the evening of the next
day we felt better, and then it came the
turn of the other fellows' npper lip to
hang down.
I must stop writing just here, for I am
tired, and it is getting late. I stayed too
long at the Seven Stars this afternoon.
If nothing comes between me and the
fair in my next, I'll write about it.

Seventeen Perseus Perish on the Prairie.
St. Louis, Dec 12. A gentleman
who arrived in Kansas City on Saturday
last informed the Kansas City Tim't
that on tbe Sunday previous a terrible
affair occurred in Saline county, Ne

miles from any house,, but three miles
from tbrm was a piece of timber land.
After unhitching their teams, the men
started for the timber to procure fuel, and
not returning for several hours, the wo
men left their children and started to
hunt them up. Tins is all that is known,
except that tbe next day the bodies of
seventeen persons, who bad perished
from intense cold, were found The chil
