Mr. Dibble’s Dnpression *oaver T:»« Ktsliery 8i»eeelies by —Woman Suffrage Defeated in t!»e Senate try 34 to HJ. Correspondence of the Aiken Recorder. Washixotox, Jan. 28, 1887. The United States Senate has done ayes to 34 nays, ators voted no with unbroken front; ihe 16 ayes came from the Northern and Western States. The Senate did right. We believe that only a small minority desire the right 1 suffrage for women. To re quire delicate ami refined women to Visit the polls in times of an excited election would be noth lug less than a revolting act of cruelty. If the right of suffrage were granted to women It would be exercised only by the baser elements of societi*, amt the people of the South would he the greatest sufferers, for it w-uld double the negro vote while it would make but a faint Impression upon tho aggre gate white vote. The sphere of wo man is distinctly marked by the band of the Creator. Her kingdom is tho home circle, and from this legitimate theatre of action her inllucnce pene trates every avenue of society and of public policy. It is a great mistake to sup|K>sc that because women do not walk into u dirty, noisy crowd on election day and actually deposit their ballots Hint they are iuconse- qucntiul factors ip the politics of thi> nation. The subtle influence of wo man is the controlling power in many elections, and nowhere is • it more keenly felt than in tin South. Who is it that docs not re member the important influence ex- erplsed by the glorious women of Car olina in the dark and stormy days o! 1876? The smiles and frowns of a good woman will ever be sources of Inspiration to noble action as long a.*- man retains the glorious image of his Maker. Force her into a promiscuous crowd to cast tho ballot and you take away her feminine attributes and de stroy her legitimate power. She has nothing to gain by a personal use ol the ballot, but everything to lose. God 1ms armed her with subtle weap ons that sometimes bend the strongest man like a willow waud, when h< would yield to no other power in na ture. She casts the ballot through he 1 husband, father, son and sweetheart and oftentimes she has effected hei purpose without her subject being aware of the Influence which was di recting his action. This is her power, this is her right, and it is far more potent than her personal use of the ballot. Let this continue so. Let hoi remain the queeu of the home eirch with all its attendant power. Let her remain the guardian angel of all that js pure and worth living for, and avoid tho contamination of the pro miscuous crowd on election day. By this means can she beat promote her own rights and privileges ami retain the pure and exalted sphere of action she was intended by her Creator to adorn. Obstructions to Progress. A tire occurred in Sumter, S. C , on Wednesday in the business centre ol the town which destroyed the law office of Gen. E. W. Moisc. but was extinguished before much other damage was done. While the fire was at its height a free fight is said to have taken place between the negroes about tho hose. The correspondent of the News and Courier says the fire was the result of gross carelessness and that the fire department lacks organi zation. Sumter also stands greatly in need of a water supply. These are the same difficulties that Aiken and many other interior towns are suffering from, and the sooner the tax-payers recognize the fact that such disadvantages are obstructions to pro gress and a menace to life and prop erty, Hie sooner will the remedy be applied. Sumter is a large and thiiv- ine town about the same sire as Aiken, and hoth towns should be properly protected against fire. It is folly to fold our arms in serene indifference and exclaim against the necessary ex penditure for carrying out proper measures of protection. One large lire destroys many times more dollars JluHi aU that the protective measures wouid cost. The people of Aiken can not spend their money in a better cause than in providing at least reas onable protection to life and properly by a well organized fire department and a proper supply of water. gratitude and glnd greetings in the new hopes of the New Year. The families in more than two thousand homes restored, the multi tude of the poor fed and sheltered, the orphan, the sick, the aged and the needy in their rebuilt hospital and places of refuge, will always cherish this gracious ajld universal giving, and in flic heart of this city the mem ory of it shall be precious as a charity, the fruit of widen is on earth, and its growth in heaven. To all our brothers far and near, who have been touched by our woe, our heartfelt wish is that a* unto us in this human springtime of peace and goodwill, so unto them may come in God’s good providence, “the charities that soothe, and heal, and bless.” Voted unanimously in city council, 2Sth, December 1880. Wm. A. CoiTKTF.XAV, Mayor. W. W. Simons, t.’lerk. The Iliver and Harbor Bill. The river and harbor hill passed the House on Thursday, January 27tb, by an overwhelming majority; yeas 154, nays !)4. The bill is exactly the same as that icported l>3* the committee. Its passage is due to skillful parlia mentary tactics at a time when the bill seemed doomed to defeat. The Washington correspondent of the Xctvs and Courier thus describes the successful maiKKUvre. Tho friends of the river and harbor hid are to-night congratulating them selves upon the hold and quite un usual tactics they successfully em ployed to secure the passage of that measure in the House just as it was reported from the committee. Many gentlemen who favored it were about to despair, and tiie other business of the session was crowding it so closely that it would have been a difficult matter to hold a quorum together much longer, when the opposition made a fatal blunder bv introducing a substitute, which the majority adopted in committee of the whole and subsequently rejected when the matter came before the House for final action. Before the opposition discovered itserror the House had cut off'all further debate and ordered the third reading of the bill, notwith standing only the first six lines of the bill had been^ read. It was an unpre cedented action to take in connection with an appropriation bill, but the circumstances justified the means, anti the opposition are howling be cause they blindly fell into their own pit. . ♦- Senators Hamilton and Butler will look after the jetties in the Sen ate.

It is interesting to be reminded now and then that the American eagle can still soar, and that trie fire of our rev olutionary sires is not extinct. The belligerent o.ut'*rv of Senators Ingalls, Frye and Hale has furnished ample proof of this. Tiie occasion was debate ou tiie bill emiMiwering the President to close the ports of the United Stales against (’auudian imports, an a meas ure of retaliation, in ease great Britain persists in violating her treaty obliga tions by subjecting American fisher men to indignities and outrages in Canadian waters. .Senator Ingalls thought it was time to settle the fishery difficulties cither by negotiation or by war. The meas-j ure under discussion was distinctly one of retaliation. It was an eye for an eye, a fish for a fish, an insult for an insult. Countries had been inun dated with blood on less provocation. Senator Frye declared that the an nals of history—even of the Fiji Islands—might be searched without finding cases of outrages so brutal and inhuman. All these cases, be said, iiad been brought to the attention of the British Government. 'There was not a line in the history of England for the last 300 years that gave the slightest reason to believe that in tiie puisuit of gain, in the pursuit of trade, she would ever permit the right of j another to stand in the way of her progress Senator Morgan thought tiie law could be enacted without blood-thirsty threats, and Senator Vest advised eaution. When the cause of woman came up in the Senate Tuesday there were about a hundred Indies from all parts of the country—leaders in the woman suffrage movement—iu the Senate gallery anxiously awaiting the result. Senator Blair, of New Hampshire, woman’s best Senatorial friend, had promised to make an effort to gel the question up for debate at this hour. The pet measures of several Senators were in the way as unfinished busi ness, but they* gallantly voted against their own bills in favor of ihe ladies. Senator Beck was one of these. He had intended to bring up his bill pro derived from the whole conversation is that the President will sign the bill. Senator Butler on Friday hitroductd in the Senate an amendment to the river and harbor bill to increase the amount for Charleston harbnx from |150,000 to $450,000, including a pro viso that the amount appropriated shall be immediately available. Senator Hampton says it is doubtful whether either the Semite or the House will consent to go beyond $300.- 000 for Charleston harbor, the amount which was provided for in the bill which recently passed the Senate.

They ask Congress to agree that the following proposed amendment to the constitution may be submitted to tho various State Legislatures: “The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied on account of sex. Congress shall Itave pbwer, by appropriate leg islation. to enforce the provisions of this article.” Half a dozen Senators made short speeches for and against woman suf frage, and then by a vote of 34 to 16 the iireposed amendment was again rejected. The disappointed ladies tiie gallery repaired immediately to tiie Metropolitan church, where they opened their nineteenth annual con vention in Washington. There they discussed man in general and the law makers of the United States in par ticular in language suitable to their outraged feelings.
