Washington, March 29.?In the case of Miner vs. Hoffersatt, from Missouri, a suit brought by a Mrs. Miner to test her right to vote, the Supreme Court, to-day, delivered the following decision: This is the oase presenting the question whe? ther, under the fourteenth amendment, a woman who is a citizen of the United States and of a State is a voter in the State, notwithstanding the fact that the provisions of the Constitution and laws of that Shite confine the right of suffrage to men alone. It is said that women are citizens; they are persons, and, therefore, under the fourteenth amendment, de? clared to be citizens of the State whorein they reside. But it did not require that amendment to make them snob. They were before persons and people, and were not in terms excluded from citizen? ship by the Constitution. The Federal Constitution was ordained by the people of the United States, oomposed of the people of the several States, and who? ever, at the time of Ub adoption, was one of the people became a citizen. All children born of citizen parents, within the jurisdiction, are themselves citizen*. Tho naturalization laws are reviewed to show that women have always been con? sidered citizens the same as men. Also cases. It is then said that the fourteenth amendment did not affect the citizenship of women any more than it did that of men, and thus minors' rights do not do? pend on it. She has always been a citi? zen from her birth, and entitled to nil the privileges, immunities, Ac, of citi? zenship. The amendment prohibited the State in which she lives from abridg? ing any of those rights. The right of suffrage is not made in terms one of the privileges of the citizen. The United States has no voters, and no one can vote for a Fedoral officer without being com? petent to vote for Stute officers. The elective officers of the United States are chosen directly or indirectly by I the voters of the States. Tho amendment did not udd to the privileges or immuni? ties of the citizen. It simply furnished an additional guarantee for the protection of Bach as he already bad. Now, is the right of suffrage co-extenBive with the citizenship of the State? When tho Fede? ral Constitution was adopted all the States but Rhode Island had Constitu? tions of their own, in not one of which were all. citizens recognized as entitled to this right Under all those circum? stances, it cannot be for a moment doubted that if it had been intended to make all 'citizens of the United States voters, .the powers of the Constitution would have so expressed that intention, and not have left ho important a change in the condition of citizenship, as it then existed, to implication. But if further evidence is needed, it is to be found in other provisions of the Constitution. If suffrage is necessarily a part of citizen? ship, then that provision of the Constitu? tion which gives citizens of each State all the privileges and immunities of citizens in tho several States, would entitle the citizens of each State to tho right to vote in the several States precisely as the citi? zens of those States. Other provisions? among thorn, that relating to the appor? tionment of representatives?were cited to the same point/. .But still, again, after the adoption of tho fourteenth amend? ment, it was found necessary to use in the fifteenth amendment the following language: "The right of citizens of the United States to voto shall not be denied or abridged by the United States, or by any State, on account of race, color or previous condition of servitude." The fourteenth amendment had provided against any abridgement of the privileges or immunities of oitizens, and, if the 'right of suffrage is ono of them, why amend the Constitution further to pre? vent its being deniod on account of race, ' color, Ae.? The duty of the United States to guarantee to tbe States a republican form of government, is discharged in protecting those governments which wore recognized as being republican in form by the Constitution when adopted. The guvc.XuSxs&ts)P* tbe States being, tbon, accepted, it must be assumed that they are such an are to be guaranteed. Tbe admission of now States is then consi? dered, and it is found that there is no? thing to favor tho idea that suffrage is a right of citizenship, but everything to 1 repel it. The restoration of the States to < the Union after the war was' accomplished, although none of tbem bad. provided for | fomale suffrage. The Court are unani? mous'in the opinion that the Constitution of the United States does not confer tbe right of suffrage upon any one. and that1 the Constitution of the several States j which commit that trust to men alone, are not necessarily void, Maucb Chuko?, Pbnn., Maroh 29.? Intelligence reached here at 9 o'clock, ] last night, of a threatened outbreak of the frenzied miners from several mines.

Eleven members of Parliament, oleotud one year ago, have lost their seats by having bribery proved against them or thoir agents in tho elections. The only difference in disposing of such cases in the two .bodies seems to be in the punishment, which is* more sternly ad? ministered by our English cousins.

Oh! grave, thy cold mansion tells Of calm and peaceful rest! Eternity, the unknown hereafter, wondrous and sublime are thy inscrutable mysteries. Transition?life?immortality. Our be? loved friend hath closed her mortal eyes upon the beautiful earth, when the lovely spring flowers were opening to new life in rich profusion in her garden home. Her hands are folded in peace upon her silent breast, and the purified spirit hath bade farewell, for all weary time, to earth and its affections, and passed to that changeless world where no burden rests upon the heart. The noble, unselfish nature of the late Mrs. ELIZABETH LYONS endeared her to all who knew her well. Many hearts will long mourn that Hhe never will be seen again in the familiar places, by tho fire-side, in the garden walks, amid the flowers she loved so dearly. Alas! those places will know her no more forever. The sick and suffering ever shared with her the delicious fruit and rare blossoms l she delighted to cultivate, more to con? vey to others a pleasure than for her own i sake. Unsolflsh devotion to the members of her household, was a prominent and j beautiful trait in her character. Her ab? sence creates a void in the sacred home circle which never, never can be filled. Embalmed forever in our hearts is the image of her whose friendship knew no change. And now she rests in the quietude of a dreamless sleop, among lonely graves. Yet she lives?lives amid the sorrowlexs j in calm and peaceful rest. To the be? reave.1 widowed sister, I would say?may this baptism of a deep sorrow be accepted by thy stricken heart, and mellow all its emotions. Be comforted, dear heart. Thy sister sleeps: she is not dead?she is not lost. The beloved one for whom we mourn not only longed to depart, but was prepared to lay her burden down with cheerful submission to the divine law. The grave is not her everlasting I resting place. When she is quickened and awakes from the deep sleep that wraps her now, she will be found among the chosen of Israel's God in our Fa? ther's kingdom, where the vail shall be removed and tho true light shine into j every soul.
