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,

only difference in disposing of such cases

In Memoire.
Oh! life, how uncertain thy way! 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. JEANE.
