An Answer tj Woman Suftra Ques
tions. Rumo II. Anthony.
First. What are the fundamental
principles, snccintly stated, upon
which it is claimed our women ought
to have the right to vote 1
, The same exactly uoon which man
bases his right of suffrago j the one
for which Martin Luther fought, thn
right of private judgment ; the right
of self-government and individual
sovereignty t the principle that
"governments derive their just pow
ers from the consent of the govern
ed j" that taxation aud representa
tion mo inseparable ; the nssertion
of Abraham Lincoln that "no man is
good enough to govern another with
out bin consent ;" that this should
bo a government of the whole people
and Dot of half tho people.
The difllculty with those who ask
such questions as this is that they
fail to recognize in worn m an indi
vidual entity, but look upon her as a
subordinate part of man. Woman is
always thought of, spoken of and
legists t im for, simply as an adjunct
to man. Iu this whole question of
snfl fa,'j tho relation of the woman
to the home, the husband, the fam
ily, to society, is freely considered,
while tln-ro is never a thought as to
its effects upon tin woman herself
as au individual.
Second. What are the evils, if any,
suffered by women by reason of
their not having such a right 1
Disfranchisement is ever and al
ways degradation. In this country
men aredifi'anhHid only f r cause,
aud this cause is always attended
with humiliation. If women do not
fed lh degradation of disfranchise
ment, then this very fact is one of
the uinst prominent of the evils j to
make it impossible for a woman to
have any voice in tho levying and
the pending of taxes ; to deny her
the riuht of making the l iws or of
electing tho lawmakers or the of
ficials who are to enforce the law;
to refuse her nny participation in
municipal government, in questions
relating to the schools, or in decid
ing the environment of her family;
to I ill ber responsible for the con
dtui of grown-up clnldreu and for
bid I ev ll power to removo temp
tation fioni their pathway or to
m ike the community a lit placo for
them, as she made the home. In
the world of wago-earners, woman's
disfranchisement forces her into
subordinate positions at inferior
wages t or if permitted to occupy ns
high a position where she docs tho
same work as a man and does it
equally as well, it compels her to ac
cept less pay for it.
Third. What are tho evils, if any,
sullered by men by reason of women
uot having such riijlit?
It is not good for men to associate
with inferiors. It dxvelopcs in them
the traits of the autocrat ; it fosters
their self-esteem and cannot fail to
tnaks them more or less tyrannical
and overbearing. Women, in a sim
ilar position, wmild bo no better. It
requires a perfect equality between
tneu and women to develop the
strongest and beat characteristics of
both. Man thinks that woman can
more successfully lead him to nobler
things whilo she is subordinate. We
Iil'OW that when woman is given her
pet feet freedom we will have a
gi a ider race of men than the world
yci, ha J Been.

Having como (o the
bunny climes of Old Virginia for
a few day's rest ami recreation the
writer is not unmindful of his read
ers and his patrons. This saction
of tho country abounds profusely
with important history and a recital
of tho inoro important points of in
terest may not be out of placo at
this time.
Old Point Comfort, celebrated uot
only for its natural advantages of
climate and locatiou, but for its
great hotels and social hfo which
attracts so many eminent represen
tatives of all classes, is th fashion
able coast resort of the Old Domin
ion. Surrounded by the waters of
Chosopeako Bay and the Hamtou
I toads, withiu the iutlueuce of the
broad Atlantic, and in latitude in
suring evenness of temperature, it
eujoys the double advantage of be
ing both a summer and winter re
sort of uudesputed merit.
Old Point Comfort is a Govern
ment reservation, and conspicuous
among its attractions is Fortress
Monroe, the largest and strongest
forliticatiou in America. The Ar
tillery School at the Fort receives
of the WvutPoiut Military Academy,
who lind abundant timo outside of
thoir routine duties to enliven the
social atmosphere of the Point by
providing elligiblo partners in the
dauce aud promonade.
The marine view from the ram
parts of t lie Fort, embracing river,
bay nnd Uoads, dotted with sailing
and anchored craft, is one to be re
membered for its beauty aud rarity.
The surrounding waters provide
ample recreation for those devoted
to sailing and fishing, and in the
summer season the bathing ou the
sandy b.ty shoro is a feature of out
door amusement.
Hard shell road drivos and an elec
tric railway lead to the old town of
Hampton, two miles distant, where
the Soldiers' Home, Normal and
Agricultural Institute for Colored
aud Indian Youth, and the N iiional
Cemetery are always poiuUt nf at
tractive interest.
Norfolk, l'otsmouth, Virginia
Beach, Ocean Viov, aud Newport
News, are als'i i:iter"V ing pUco-i
for side-trips from Old Point only a
portion of which can receive mir at
tention in an article of this char
acter. We will coiiliu ir rem irks
more particularly to the points of
historical iuteresi conc.-rning theso
places. Dot llrfo' e Wn In IVt) tllU d)
scription of the Old Fort, wo desire
to cull the attention of our readers
to the fact that it was hero in one of
the casemates of the Fort, that Jef
ferson Davis was con'ined after his
arrest.
Portsmouth unit irliIU.
Upon few cities of tho United
States has the "mailed han I of
Mars" fallen with greater frequency
or violence. Under the direct 1011 of
the Uoyalist Governor of Viaginia
(Dunsmore) a British man o'war
bombarded and burned Norfolk
January 1st, 177"!. Both Portsmouth
and Norfolk were partially destroy
ed by the British in 177'.). Ports
mouth was occupied by the traitor
Arnold and the British force under
him in 17H1, and tho British agtin
attacked Norfolk iu the Spring
of 1M3, but were repulsed with
heavy loss.
St. Paul's Church Norfolk, a hand
Bomo structuro erected more than a
century and a half ago, stands sur
rounded by stately trees, its walls
covered by ivy, a connecting link be
tween the present nnd tho past. A
cannon ball tired from one of the
British Bhips in 1771 struck one cor
ner of tho old church, where it lodg
ed aud remains to this day amid the
ivy, which has been cut awav so that
the relio may bo seen.
On the Portsmouth side of the
river is situated the Gjvernmont
Navy Yard and tho United States
Marine Hosoital. Tho industrial
development of these cities within
recent years is phenomenal. -Their
miles of wharves are crowded with
shipping and swarm with busy men.
Hampton liuiula.
These coasts were ravaged by the
British during the Revolutionary
War and again in 1813, when the
thriving town of Hampton was laid
waste and the inhabitants subjected
to the most barbarous treatment.
During the late war Hampden
Roads was the base of operation for
some of the most important move
ments of the Federal Army. Here,
just in front of Newport News, all
the warships of every nation were,
in effeeU destroyed at one blow
their worthlessness far effective
warfare being clearly demonstrated
in tho destruction of the Federal
Hoot by the Confederate Merrimac
vor rguua as sue call in the South),
March, 1802.
It will bo remembered that the
frigate "Merrimac", was Buuk at
Norfolk early in the war by tho Fed
eral forces. Subsequently her hull
was raised by the Confederates and
covered over with railroad rails,
with a backing of heavy oak. She
was t hen armed and Equipped, and
on tho morning of March Hth nho
put out of Norfolk, steamed direct
I.v for the Federal fleet, then lying
off Newport News, nnd engaged" the
umuiMiauu, sinKiug tier in less
than thirty minutes. The command -trnftho
"Co i gress'" beached his
snip to avoid the fate of tho "Cum
berland." b,it the V.Merri mac's"
guns raked her fore nnd aft and
l-nally set her nfire. Aftor playing
havoc with a few smallor gunboats,
tho "Merrimac" attacked the ".Mm
nesota " The attack was resisted
stoutly until the "Mtaucsotu" was
run agrouud while ineuouvciiug in
shallow water to esciinp tho ram of
the "Merrimac," and. the .ngago
tneutof that day ceased, the "Mcr
riuinc" steamiug awsy to Norfolk
for the night. Thus he day closed
and tho world was Jriveii another
evidence of that woudetful iuventive
genius for which the American is ho
justly renowned, and of that spirit
and indomitable will which subse
riuently enabled the peoplo of the
South to take the industrial, com
mercial aud social wreck left to
them nt the close of the war barely
the hull of thoir former prosperity
and build upon it the maguitioent
structure which wo now behold.
The next moruiux the MMerrinia"
returned to the attack, but found a
most formidable and strange little
foo awaiting her. During tho
uight tho littl "Monitor" has
reached tho Roads from New York,
and, upon the appearance of the
"Mem mac," now came out from be
hind the ".Minnesota" to do battle
for the Union. The J
Hatllc nf the Kerrliunc U tha Hosllor
ensued. Never bofore. had such
strange craft ooufronted each other.
Each paused for noma moments, an
if to guage the povt;'f tho other.
Suddenly, as thou. U'a i,;vei sig
nat, the duel was begun, eauh craft
firing siiuult luoously. A "battle
royal'' it wast The coullict was
waged with a fierceness, persist uce
and heroism unequalo I in naval war
fare. The crowd of spectators who
had come out from Portsmouth,
Norfolk, Portress Monroe ami the
surrounding towns aud camps
watched the contest with the most
intenso interest, uucertam of the re
sult to the last. Tho Monitor, using
her a Ivautage of speed and free
dom of moveiueut. circled around
her foe, firing as she moved, while
the "Merrimac" answered no.v with
a broadside and again with one gun,
as the position of the "Monitor"
would admit of. Again and again
the "Men nunc" attempted to crush
the little ".Monitor" with her ter
rible ram, but each time tho greater
speed ami the lighter draught of tho
".Monitor" enabled her to evado the
attack. Such mauouvers at times
brought the antagonists so close to
gether that "their gnus almost
met," but there was no abatement
of the rain of shot and shell. For
four hours there was not a moment's
interval between the terrible thun
ders of the, guns i then tho "Meri
mac," h iving sustained some dam
age, withdrew from the light and re
turned toward Norfolk s the "Moni
tor" had demonstrated her power to
hold the "Merrimac" in check and
Washington was saved from iho de
struction w hich threatened her the
day before.
Leaving Newport News iu the dis
tance, Hamilton is soon described,
the domo of tho National Soldiers'
Home nnd towera of the Hampton
Normal and Agricultural Institute
being plainly visiblo from tho steam
er's decks.
