AUTOCRATIC POWER GIVEN* TO TERRY ES GEORGIA. -4 GOOD THING FOR BULLOCK. [SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO TUE NEWS.] WASHINGTON, January 24. The bill to admit the State of Virginia having passed both Houses, the President says that he will sign it to-morrow. Thc bill is as follows : v/ltereas. The people of Virginia have framed and adopted a constitution of State government which is republican ; and whereas, the Legisla? ture of Virginia, elected under said constitution, have ratided the Fourteenth amend.uent to the Constitution of the United States : and whereas, the performance of these several acts. In good faith, was a condition precedent to representa? tion of the State in Congress ; therefore, Be it enacted, dc, That the said State of Vir? ginia bc entitled to representation in the Congress orate United States, provided that before ouv member of the Legislature or the said State shall rake or resume hts seat, or anv ottlcer or said State shalt enter upon the duties or his office, he shall take and subscribe and file In die office of the Secretary of State of Virginia, for permanent preservation, an oath in the rorm following: -I, -, do solemnly swear that 1 have never ta? ken an oafn as a member of Congress, or ns an officer of the United States, or as a member or any State Legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer -or any state, to support the Constitu? te tion cf the United States, and afterward engaged ^ in Insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid and comfort to the enemies there? of. So help me God.-' Or such person shall in like manner take, subscribe and file the following oath : "I,-, do solemnlv swear that-1 hr.ve, by act of Congress or the United States, been . relieved from the disabilities Imposed upon me by the Fourteenth Amendment of the Constitution of the United States. So help me God:" which oath shall be taken before and certified by any officer, lawfully authorized to administer oaths; and any person who shall knowingly swear false? ly in taking either of such oaths, shall be deemed guilty of perjury, and shall be punished therefor by imprisonment not less than one year and not more than ten years, and shall be fined not less than $1000 and not more than $10.000; and In all trials for any violation of this act, the certificate of the taking of either of said oaths, with proof of the signature of either party accused, shall be taken and held as conclusive evidence that such oath was lawfully and regularly administered by competent authority.

The administration sent dispatches to General Terry to-day, fully endorsing all he had done. General Terry has submitted to the administra? tion, for Instructions, two questions in regard to the qualification of members of the Legislature. The first ls, whether he, as military commander, has authority to determine upon the qualifica? tions of members, after they have taken the oath prescribed by law, if in his judgment they were not capable of properly taking that oath; second, whether, when a person who has a certificate of election ls denied admission to his seat as being ineligible under the Fourteenth amendment, the person having the next highest number of votes should be admitted in his stead. Terry holds the affirmative of both propositions. The Attorney-General has considered the ques? tion, and the President instructs Terry to admin? ister the law as he understands lt. [This makes General Terry the sole judge of the qualifications of gie members of thc Georgia Legislature. The whole game is now in his hands.] [FROM THE ASSOCIATED PRESS.] WASHINGTON, January 24.

PROSPECTS OF THE NATIONAL DEMOC? RACY. A Timely and Pregnant Article. The New York Herald prints a leader discus? sing the Republican party and the Presidential succession, the concluding paragraphs of which are these : "Looking at the division in the dominant party on vital questions ot public policy, at its vio? lated promises and shortcomings."at its reck? less extravagance, at its want of defined prin? ciples in the management of public affairs and at its Indifference with rogan! to supporting the administration it has chosen, we arc natu? rally led lo Inquire what prospect there is for perpetuating its power, and what chance there may be for the opposition party. There was a positive issue on tile slavery question-the oue. in fact, which bi iglit thc Repualicans into power-as there was, too. in the prosecu? tion of Hie war; but neither exists any longer. The Republicans, however, have used the slavery agitation and the war for political cap? ital long alter the questions wore settled anti until they are worn out. Tho people are tired of them, and look for other questions or issues that bear upon the present aud future. In this respect thc dominant party docs not meet thc wants and expectations ol' ibo country, for, as was said, fi has no positive policy* no 'platform Of principles, and no unity or cohesiveness be? yond that which the spoils of office (live. Who, then, is to govern this great country ? What party cnn take the place Of the one in power ? Are we to drift alonj; in tIiis negative way without principles or statesmen, or shall wc have a party with a defined policy, that wilt represent tlic sentiment of tile country ami thc living issues of the day ? The Democrats liare a good prospect before them If they know how to use their opportu? nity- if they will have the dmd past and take a new departure in accordance with established facts and thc spirit of the times. Theil mai/ elect the next President, though General Grant may be again Hie candidate of the Republicans. Even his popularity and glorious war record would hardly outweigh the failures of his ad? ministration, the shortcomings of the Repub? lican party and tlic desire ot the people fora change. The great Slate of New York lias taken the lead already in a political r?volution favorable to thc Democrats. In thc lust elec? tion for members of Congivss they gained con? siderably, and in many local elections they have shown signs of returning Ute. Although the Radicals have made extraordinary efforts to establish their power in the Southern Stales they have evidently overreached themselves. and there is little doubt that these States will be Democrat ic. A large part of the negroes will go willi the white people on political ques? tions; for they will see that their interests are identical, and it requires no prophet to tell us what party the Southerners will affiliate with. Judging from all tlie signs of the times, the Democrats hare a. good chanco for the Presi? dential succession three years hence. But they will lose that if they adhere to their old. exploded dogmas, and attempt to undo what has been accomplished by and in consequence of the war. Our Northern Democrats must ac? cept the platform and policy of the Southerners, with all the concessions to the' net/roes and the amendments to the constitution. ' Tiley cannot go back and succeed; for thc mass ol the peo? ple are opposed to a counter-revolution. H u\v ever much opposed before to some of the changes that have been made, they accept them now "nod want peace. Let the Democrats, then, drop the dead past; let them bc progres? sive and broadly national; and let them adopt a policy suited to the present and looking to the future, and they may secure thc Presiden? tial succession and "a long lease affjower. -TheGolos, of St. Petersburg, says: .

The New York papers,, f Saturday, are lilied with sensational reports of tho arrival ol Prince Arthur, and devote many columns to a description of his every wink and nod. Thc Sun, iconoclastic as usual, treats the whole affair as a piece of toadyism. We take some paragraphs from '-The Sun" report: THE ARRIVAL. H; R. II. Arthur, W. P. A. Guelph, K. C,., ar? rived in this city yesterday direct Iront Mon? treal. This fortunate young man, whose volu? minous name is announceirwith a tall at both ends, is the third son and seventh child of the Queen of ("t eat Britain, and is therefore ac? corded a position ol' prominence in thc world. He was born on the 1st day ol'May. 1850. He is n graduate of the military academy at Wool? wich, and is a lieutenant In the r?giment of Lord Alexander George Russell, stationed in Canada. He came out last tall to join his regi? ment, accompanied by a retinue suitable l'or a Prince. Thc expense ol' transporting this young lieutenant to his regiment was ?7.{.oon. thc bills for which, when" presented to the Chancellor of the Exchequer, were promptly repudiated, tho honest, burly old Peer re? marking that if tho young mun chose to travel in royal style he might toot his own hills. Whether the little account has yet been settled or not. has not been ascertained. Mrs. Guelph, however, ls reported to bc a wealthy woman, and is undoubtedly able to pay thc little travelling expenses of her minor children. ms TRAVELS. Through the courtesy of Commodore Van? derbilt tins scion of British royalty has travelled tims far in thc United States in regal splendor, though merely at the cost ol' first-class tickets for himself and suite. Thc Commodore sent his private car to Montreal expressly for the usc of thc yoting man. In this princely con? veyance U. R. Ii. found everything that even royalty could demand, as appears from the fact, that he rode thc entire distance from Montreal to this city, occupying twenty-two hours' time, without once leaving thc car. At St. Albans, supper was served him in the car. and at Troy, breakfast. TUE SUITE OF THE ritlXCE. Arti: ir's suite comprises Colonel and Hon John .-'ederick Elphinstone.

A GENTLEMAN HY HIRTH AND EDUCATION. 9 Thc valet of the Prince is a gentleman by blyth and education, as his manner, dress ami carriage betoken, although our reporter was unfortunate in not learning his name. He very closely resembles, in ligure and style, sonie gentlemen Ly birth and education of this city. lu fact he is a nobly young man. with a penchant for French airs rather than those ol merry old England. AMERICAN TOADIES. American curiosity asserted itself on thc ar? rival of this party nt thc Thirteenth street sta? tion ol' tho Hudson River Railroad soon after noon yesterday, where a crowd ol' several hundred mon and women were assembled to gaze at them. These, however, were held in pretty fair subjection by the police during the alighting of the royal party. Mr. Edward Thornton, thc British Minister at Washington, and his secretary, met them at the depot. They immediately entered carriages that, were In waiting and drove rapidly to the Bre voort House, a few men in the crowd shouting after them, and two or throe ladies waiving handkerchiefs. Entering the Brevoort House, he was met by Mr. Walt.. the proprietor, who bade him welcome. Thc Prince bowed his thanks, and went up to the apartments prepared for him. THE DRIVE IN CENTRAL PARK. Mr. Archibald, thc British Consul, sent round at 2:30 two quick travelling carriages, and the party sallied forth to seo the glories ol' the worfd-celebrated Central Park. The carriage passed out of thc Park nhout 4 o'clock aiid passed down Fifth Avenue, und pulled up at thc Brevoort House at 4::i0. WALLACK'S. Immediately after dinner the Prince and party started on foot'for Wallack's Theatre pre? cisely at six and a half minutes to eight. At thc postern gate he was received by thc gal? lant and dashing Theodore Moss. He at once pronounced Moss the handsomest man ho had seen in this country. The Prince and .Mr. Moss subsequently exchanged n glass of goodly bourbon, and parted willi many mutual ox I pressions ol friendly regard. Alongside of the Prince sat Mr. Archibald. British Consul, who looked ns if lie bud been cut ont of n cheese? paring; Mr. Thornton, the British Minister, with lils usual gooseberry-fool expression; and I Mr. Trench, a sun of the Earl of Claticurty, and attach? of the British Legation. During thc evening tho Prince gave unequivocal ex? pressions of Jds admiration of Mr. Wallack's neting, and at thc moonlight march, bioko out sympathetically into expressions of enthu? siasm. Mr. Richelieu Robinson, one ol' the Fenian head centres, was in tho audience, but tho Prince was not molested. HOW THE AUDIENCE RECEIVED ARTHUR. The audience slowly departed from thc thea? tre, all seemingly reluctant tn move farther than thc inner doorway, until they had linear? er view of tho Prince, who, seeing that they were determined to awulHiis departure, finally, with iiis suite, worked Iiis way to the door. There was not the least sign of any demonstra? tion until lie arrived ?it ibo vestibule ol the theatre, when some ono sung out: "Throe cheers for Prince Arthur." Tito call received a thin response, but some ono who did not know his close proximity to the royalist, said: Where in li-I is tho Prince ? I'll cheer him." The Prince looked, and immediately thereafter the cheers were again proposed, ?ind they were given with a will. Arthur raised his hat. He then departed by tho Thirteenth street exit, escorted by Capt. Heddon with u small squad of police anil detectives, who surrounded the royal party, followed by a crowd. -A sad affair In Manchester, Conn., should bc a warning to school teachers against thc possible dangerous consequence of some punishments that t tat seem perfectly saie. The story, as told by a correspondent of the Hartford Courant is, in sub? stance, that a little girl, nine years old, attend? ing a public school in Manchester, having failed to recite her geography lesson perfectly on Thursday, was required on Friday to repeat the lesson fortliai day and the day before. She failed again, and, as a punishment, was required to stand on the door in a passage way, where there was a draft of cold air, while she learned it. She stood there foran hour, and afterwards was com? pelled to stand in the school room (Ive hours longer, till she learned Thursday's lesson, and for an hour more, trying to learn Friday's, ami was not released until some time after the other scholars had been sent home. She Is said to have been full of health and spirits on Friday morning; but on Saturday her legs began to swell, and she suffered intensely, soon becoming delirious, trying to repeat the lesson which was the occasion of her punishment, and begging of her teacher leave to take her scat. After a few days or this, agony she died.

Thc Louisville Courier-Journal has the .fol? lowing: Thc revolutionary movements whfch are now going forward in France invest the Napoleonic dynasty with additional Interest. Prince Pierre Bonaparte, who has caused the pot to boil so fiercely, is a son of tlic great Empe? ror's brother Lucien, who was consider? ed tlie ablest of the family next after Napoleon. Tlie present Emperor is regarded by many as not a Honaparte at all, but tlie son of a Dutch admiral by Hortense Beau harnais, the "daughter of Josephine. Louis Bonaparte was forced by his brother to marry Hortense. He was in love with another woman, and withal a dreamy sort of person. Those who believe in the operation of a prin? ciple of poetic justice running the progress of history make mention of thc fact that thc grandson of Josephine, and not of Napoleon, now rules in France as proof that the "whirl? igig of time brings in his revenges." Jose? phine once said, "My progeny shall be su? preme." But Josephine was not the only woman who was ill-used by the imperial Cor? sican. Nor was she the only one who cher-' lshed hopes of a divine revenge through lier descendants. And hereby hangs a tale. In 1803 Jerome Bonaparte, then in command of a French frigate, landed In New York. As the brother ol Napoleon Bonaparte, he was received with distinction, and was most hos? pitably entertained wherever he went. While in Baltimore he met Miss Elizabeth Patterson, tlie daughter of a wealthy merchant ofthat city, and married her on'the 24th ol'December ol' thc same year. The ceremony was perform? ed by Bishop Carroll, of the Catholic Diocese of Ballimore, a brother of thc distinguished Charles Carroll, of Carroliton. The marriage contract was draw* up by Alexander Dallas, afterwards Secretary of the* Treasury, and was witnessed by tlie Mayor of Baltimore and several other officiai personages. After re? maining in tho United States about a year, Jerome Bonaparte and Iiis wife embarked for France in an American ship. In thc moatime Napoleon, to whom tlic mar? riage of his brother gave great offence, had or? dered that thc newly married pair should be permitted to land at no port over which France exercised authority. They, therefore, landed nt Lisbon, whore Jerome left lils wife, direc** lng her to proceed to Amsterdam, and went to Paris With the hope of prevailing upon Napo? leon to recognize his marriage, but this Napo? leon refused to do, at the same time upbraid? ing his brother for daring to marry without his consent. On arriving at Amsterdam, whither she went in the American ship. Ma? dame Bonaparte was confronted with Napo? leon's order forbidding lier to land. She then sailed for England, where she took up her residence at Camberwell, neat London. And hore on thc 7ih of July, 180o, was born her only child, Jerome Napoleon Bonaparte, now living in Baltimore. Napoleon had determined that his brothers should marry among the princesses of Europe, and all efforts to induce him to recognize the wife of Jerome were vain, and Jerome was at last forced to yield to the wishes of tho Empe? ror and marry tlie Princess Frederica Catha? rine, of Wnrtomburg. Madame Bonaparte mot her husbaud but once afterward, and then no word passed between them; It was in the gallery of thc Pittl Palace at Florence, In Italy. Thc Princess was loaning on tlie arm of lier husband when thc mooting took place. Je? rome started a?ide on recognizing Madame Bonaparte, and a moment afterward whis? pered to the Princess, "That lady is my for? mer wife." Ho immediately left thc gallery, and thc next morning quitted Florence. Although Napoleon declared tho marriage of Jerome and Miss Patterson null and void', he could never induce the Pope to so declare lt; and a few years ago, when tlie question as to tho rank to which the Bonapartes nf Baltimore wore entitled as princes of thc Imperial house? hold was up for decision, tho protest of tlic Pope against the decree of Napoleon was brought lorward. Soon after the birth of her son Madame Bo? naparte returned to Baltimore, where she has principally resided ever since, in the enjoy? ment of a largo fortune. She was about eigh? teen yours of age when she first mot Jerome Bonaparte, and is now about eighty-five. Site was always a great admirer ot Napoleon, In spite of the cruel manner In which he treated her. It is said that she believes that lier grand? son will yet bc Emperor of Franco. Madame Bonaparte s son, Jerome Napoleon, now in his sixty-fifth year, luis lived in Balti? more since Iiis boyhood. He was educated tit Harvard College, whore he graduated in 182?. Ho afterwards studied law, but never practiced at thc bar. When quito ti young man lie mar? ried ti very wealthy lady, Miss Susan Mary Wil? liams, originally ?f Hoxbury, Mass., and lias since devoted his time to the management of Iiis large estate and to agricultural pursuits. His own fortune, added to Hint ol' Iiis wife, made him one of inc wealthiest mon iu Balli? more. He visited his father several timos in Europe, and tor many years received from him a large allowance. Ho is on good terms with Louis Napoleon, and has once visited tho French Court, accompanied by one of his sons, upon an invitation from thc Emperor. During tho reign of Louis Phillippe ho was permit? ted to romain in Paris tor a short time, but was required to assume his mother's name of Patterson. Mr. Bonaparte has two children, Jerome Na? poleon, who was boru In Baltimore in 1832, and Charles Joseph, born in 1852. Thc first named graduated at Wost Point at the age of twenty, and alter remaining a short time in the United States array, resigned his commis? sion and entered that of France as a sub-lieu? tenant. Ho was with tho French and English allies in thc Crimea, and received a decoration from tho Sultan of Turkey for his gallant con? duct at tho siege ol'Sebastopol. Mr. Bonaparte is said to bear a strong per? sonal resemblance to Iiis uncle, the first Napo? leon. If tho validity of his father's marriage with Miss Patterson were recognized by tue Court of France, lt would give him and his children precedence over his half-brothers and [ their sister, the Princess Mathilde. Hie childreu ol Jerome by his second wife. Efforts to se? cure such recognition have boon made on per? haps moro than ono occasion, but they failed, though how (ar they foll short of success has never boen known to the public. Jerome him? self, who died at a venerable oki ago a year or two ago, bitterly opposed all such efforts to obtain precedence for the Baltimore Bona? partes, and would acknowledge them only by the name of Patterson. Thc scrimmage now going on in Paris is pe? culiar. Tlie American Bonapartes aro Repub? licans, and so aro tho agitators in the Corps L?gislatif. It may alford some ol them au op porfunitv, and a Patterson may yet occupy Hie Tuileries" as Prince President just as Louis, a Beauharnais, occupied Hie palace in 184U. At all events thc story is worth retelling as more or loss apropos of transpiring events in Franco, In which the Bonapartes, their past, present and future, bear such close relation. Jerome Bonaparte acted badly enough to Miss Patter? son. Nor has his family done much better. It would be apiece or poetic justice if time should balance tho account. -One of thc fathers of the (Ecumenical Coun? cil, it is said, has been arrested and sent to thc prison of the Holy Office. The pretended prel? ate is accused of having assumed the name and titles of the bishop of a distant see, whether by consent of thc prolate in question or by an audacious usurpation, may perhaps be ascer? tained by a secret inquiry, but the result will probably never he made known. It is fancied at Homo that the culprit is a spy of some t'or viiru crovcrnment. WILD WOMEN. "Thc Witches' Carnival over a Bloody Tomb." ' [From the Saturday Review.] Thc economical objection to the indiscrimi? nate influx of women into the labor-market, whether as shoemakers, clerks, preachers, journalist"', or doctors, is found out to be thal they hardly ever become skilled artisans in any employment which they take up. In America lt has not boon found to answer to give employment to any decent-looking girls. They always pursue business as a stop gap, not as they work in life. They know that to mar? ry, bear children, and keep the house is the female raison d'?tre and that ledgers, watch? making and compounding medicines are merely taken up in default of a legitimate business for life. The best proof ol thc inabili? ty of women to compete with men would bc to give them every facility in the competi? tion. They would never excel or equal men, because their heart is not in thc business. The only result would bc to encumber every business and every profession with a crowd of camp-followers never capable of acquiring ex? cellence in their calling, simply because the calling was unnatural and artillcial. We arc led to this view that, were it not for the social disorganization that would ensue, and- for thc degradation of every department of real work which must follow when lt ls encumbered by a horde of unskilled outsiders, lt would be well to test woman's assumed capacities to do all manly things by experiment, alter reading some recent proceedings of the Woman's Rights advocates, ? or Wild Women as they call them In America, which have reached us from New York. It might have been thought that the recent Richardson tragedy would have suggested to the women's advocates a little hesitation as to thc practical success of their agitation. Whatever other lessons the homicide of Richardson by the In? jured-husband, McFarland, might bc supposed to teach, the event at least showed that some? what awkward results might attend the new views about the emancipation o? women. Even if we were to admit, which wc cartalnly do not admit, that there was no criminality in the re? lations between Richardson and Mrs. McFar? land, yet it ls undeniable that she permitted herself to act out all that ls olalmed as women's rights. She deserted h qr husband; she wanted to marry somebody else if she could get a di? vorce; she did get what ls called a divorce in the free and easy Indiana courts-Indiana be? ing known as the Unyoking State in the Union. We all know what came et this. Mrs. McFar? land had no cause for divorce recognized in any civilized community. In New York she had not the shadow of a pretence for asking to be divorced. She had no adultery, no cruel? ty, no desertion to complain of. She only wanted to marry somebody else, and openly acknowledged her intention to do so. She had formed a connection with this paulo-post-ni ture husband which was highly objectionable, and regarded by everybody as adulterous. The husband took thc law into his own hands, and shot the expectant bridegroom dead. The incident attracted, as well lt might, the serious consideration of "the Woman's Rights Convention of Public Safety. An organization called the National Woman's Suffrage Asso? ciation held an extraordinary session on the event. It might seem that a society embodied for a special and single purpose, to get the suffrage for women, had nothing whatever to do with thc affair of Ricbarson. But logical con? sistency ls not in the linc of thc women's ad? vocates. They did somehow connect Rich? ardson's homicide with the question of female suffrage, and this they did by passing a resolu? tion which ls too good and feminine In argu? ment and expression to be lost. ''Resolved, That the brutal and murderous attack of Mr. McFarland upon A. D. Richardson is In a great degree attributable to the slavish and debasing condition of woman by the stat? ute and common law of thc State of New York, and tho pcrpicious Influence of the New York Tribune on the divorce question and the moral rights of woman." From which we gather that an appeal for thc suffrage means a claim to assimilate thc divorce laws of the whole American Union to thc law, or licentiousness, of Indiana; and that thc moral of thc Richardson case, accord? ing to the woman's advocates and their friends, is that thc only person to blame In the whole matter ls the hnsband who could not exactly accept the doctrine of bar? tering wives. This view was brought out In the discussion of the resolution, which was moved by Mr. Poole, who observed that "people must be taught that neither sex has any property qualification In the other," which observation immediately and not unnaturally "tabled" the doctrine of "free love." Mrs. Blake, who seems to have been slightly alarm? ed at the course of thc discussion, Interfered with a mild protest, and "took exception to many of Mr. Poole's remarks. She did not wish to have the Indiana case of divorce. She had her duties as a wife and mother; she had her children to think of; she wanted no change In the law by which divorces could be more easily obtained." This dull, stupid conser? vatism was however promptly disposed ' of. Mrs. Norton disagreed with Mrs. Blake, and thought there was great misapprehension In regard to the "words 'free love.' She incant it in thc. souse of opposition to a marketable commodity; but she did not there? by mean indiscriminate connexion between the sexes." It ls something In Bucn'n discus? sion to get at anybody's meaning, and we aro thankful now to know what free love means. It moans that love Is to be free as air, and provided the "commodity" is not boiightsspsold. any man or woman, married or single, may form what love connexions they please, so that no money passes. Dr. Hocber backed this doctrine, and though some of his arguments were such that "hero several ladies left tho hall," lie was certainly in favor of Mr. Poole's resolution, "and would prefer 'free love' to the present system of marriage, which was nothing but a public system ol' prostitu? tion." After which wo arc not at all surprised that the association passed another resolution, which, though somewhat superfluous after the debate, has its value as an expression of prin? cipio. Mrs. Willmore offered and carried a re? solution, "That calling things by their right names is the most Intelligent and honest me? thod of dealing with all things." And we have some reason to bc thankful to thc Suffrage As? sociation for their very distinct views on the Richardson case and on the marriage tie, free love, and thc essence of prostitution. One Now York newspaper, we must admit, ls rude enough to be sorely scandalized at this inde? cent proceeding, and severely rebukes these "angelic women for holding a sort of witches' carnival over Richardson's bloody tomb, like a party of children dancing In a graveyard," and says that "nothing but their childish Ignorance can account for their shocking indelicacy." And thc writer even goes so far as lo venture upon the supposition that these strong-minded women aro al ter all only foolish babies, and to ask whether there might not be such a thing in their case as "justifiable Infanticide under circumstances of Intolerable provocation and in self-defence." This is not our view; we arc quite prepared to let Praxagora have her full swing. The more wc know of the proceedings of these Transatlantic Ecclesiazusa; thc better lor so? ciety. And, as wo said Inst now, that all these inarticulate howls and claims for equality have only to bo tried by experience to show us what Te male capacilies for work are, so wo may now add that the more wc know of female debates, and female conventions, and leinale meetings, the more wo soe that they are only an acci? dental form in which the ono universal femi? nine temper displays itself. A platform meet? ing ol' women, a female chairman and female speakers, aro alter all only another and an ac? cidental form of thc vanity, and scandal, and immorality, and bickering of our tea-tables and the small passions of tue gynasluni, under moro prominent circumstances. What would como of woman's suffrage and women In Sen? ate and Parliament we ?an pretty well antici? pate when we study women in convention. "At thc first convention Susan Anthony ever attended she raised a quarrel because Pauline Davis and Mrs. Oakes Smith chose to appear lu low-necked white dresses and rose-colored sacks." These are the little graphic sketches and touches in which American reporters are so great, which lead us to understand the re? formers; and we are quite sure that we are only doing them a real service in letting their English admirers know what manner of women thc American reformers are. Mrs. Howe, the commentator on thc Cleveland Conven? tion tells us, " was conspicuous aa usual. * * * Her mode of lecturing is scarcely agreeable. She indulges in an aggra? vated drawl, and employs only two tones in the register, thus speaking iu ? manner that makes nervous people inexpressibly fidgety. Her eyes are a marked peculiarity; as she speaks her pupils continually dilate and con traci -a peculiarity wnicn we nuns we nave observed in old cats. Lucy Stone, It is more agreeable to be informed, has ua matronly lit? tle ligure, and a cjuaint childlike manner," while "Portia Gage, that large-souled woman of Vineland, sat Beside her sturdy John, and shook her comfortable shoulders In mild jollity over Higglnson's jokes." Thc sturdy John was, we trust, Mr. Gage, but this we are not told. Miss Anthony, commonly styled the "apple of discord," does not seem to appreci? ate "humorous" Higglnson's Jokes; and upon his proceeding to compliment her on her 6peech, "deliberately-we should say uncivil? ly-turned her back, observing, "I won't allow you to patronize mc, Mr. Higginson!" Thia was the less polite, as the "irrepressible Susan" wife invited to speak expressly "to convince Cleveland that she was not a vixen, as she was said to be." We have no doubt that Susan is not a vixen in thc canny hour of e'en, bnt on the Cleveland platform she knows hpw to use her tongue, and to call things, and men too, by their right names:-for example, "When I'was pass? ing through thc West some time ago with that vagrant, that mountebank, that charlatan. George P. Train. [Here Mrs. Anthony stamped lier foot and exclaimed, "There, I stamped my foot!"] This shows that, after all, wo? man-even Susan B. Anthony-is true woman still. That stamp of the foot betrays the beau sexe. While a woman's advocate can spit and swear in this fashion, wc arc glad to admit that something feminine survives in the hard? est and wildest of them. And we must admit that they have something to tease them in the suscentlbllities and preferences of their male friends and supporters. "Henry Blackwell's iron gray head, bobbing about Irrepressibly, and turning lovingly towards his Lucy," must have wakened emotions in those who were not his Lucy. But the "house filled with brilliant women" had a severo trial in one of the friends of the cause, "the Rev. Rowland Cowen, who owns a fine, elear-ent face, spoke tersely, and with cultured decisiveness." Decisive cer? tainly; cultured may be doubted. That he did not meet the fate of Orpheus at the hands of the Thracian women, speaks for. the good na? ture of the Cleveland Bacchantes. He? the un? gallant Cowen, "did not be'i eve thatyoman was any purer than man. When the neg? was freed it was a matter of surprise that. ?feras f?nnd to be such a notorious liar. This withe case of woman ami man. Women are not swtrutbfiil aa men. Lying ls one of the weapons^.the weak against the strong. I have watchedVoung wo? men He with a calmness and clearness and straightforwardness Impossible In a young man of the same age." That, after this remarkable as? sertion of the David of the doy, who said not in his haste, but defiantly ana of malice afore? thought, all women are liars, he was not lynch? ed on the spot but was only "mildly rebuked1* by the chair with the gentle censure that "this is a little spice," is another proof that even in s grievance meeting the sex have some forgive? ness, and, which they do not so generally.show, even a sense of humor.
