An V.ftert was made in the House at
Harrisburg to introduce a joint resolu
tion proposing an amendment to the
State Constitution bestowing on females
the right of suffrage. The members
voted it down by a hearty majority.
How very unkind it was to refuse giving
the women a fair show at tee ballot-box.
There are but few unmarried men in
that body, so they can afford to be inde.
pendent on the subject of women's
rights, or perhaps, they see too much of
that doctrine at home, and don't care
about - giving it a wider range.
