Mr. Editur: — Soosan Antuy aint
nothin to me—that i? no partikler.
No woman amt except Mrs. Arp, but
when I heaid they were tryin her for
votin my femine instinks carried me
straight to the court house. I was on
her side'hefore I got there and l*m on
her side yet. m>man in "eneral is
my weekness and cspesbually a wo
man whose name isSoosan. I always
envied a man who could fondle over
his wile or sweetheart aud eall hci
l Soosy.” It sounds so mcller and soft.
So when 1 seed Soosan Antny arrain-
cd np before the Judge like a konvicl
1 was mad—mad with the whole Yan
kee nashun. They raise a hellybiloo
over tlie old broken konstitutiou and
mend it up so as to let the black bab- „
loons vote in the rebel States, hut if a [^Ised 7o
white woman ol sense and spunk dares
to do it, it shocks their pcwiitan mod
esty. The old Judge tried to look
iierse and said a woman shouldent
undersex herself. I have seen a bean
of men who when they got sorter old,
took up a sour-grape spite against
good looking women. But Soosan
looked at the Judge as straight as an
cage!. She stood up square on her
paster joints and remarked that she
was free-horn aud had property o! her
own, and bad a right to vole lor the
law makers of her choice. She said
that women done as much for the
country as the men, and if they dident
fight in a battle they raised the hoys
that. did. That bavin them and nursiu
cm and tendin to cm in sikness and
licllh was a harder job than fitin, and
il the men dident believe it just let cm
try it a while. She. sed if the Judge
could name even cue good resun why
they shouldent vote she wauted to
Know it.
Soosan* eyes Hashed a little anger-
lik lire when the Judge lined her a
hundred dollars, and she remarked
that every advance iu sivilization had
to have its martyrs, and she was rud
dy. She throwed a hundred dollar
bill over to the clerk and sed she would
bet another hundred dollars that that
money never reached the State Treas-
\ 'She didcut rniud that old Judge
more than if he was a monkey.
She told him that if they would base
the votin hisiness,on morality, or prop
erty or intelligence, or all three put
together, the woman would be satisfied.
But they based it on wcarin britches,
and drinking whiskey, and chawin to-
bakcr, and keepin one wife at home an
another one some where else. She de
clared that she had ns much rite to
choose her polilikal masteis si* the
Suthcrn niggers or the hethen Chinee.
That if the women could vote there
wouldcnt he a drunkard, nor a thief,
ior a fool on the bench, nor iu any
4her ollis, and whiskey would be har
der to get than arsenik. An old, red
nosed swell faced man winked one eye
at her aud hickcdttped, “the Is—lie—
hell you say.” When the court ad
journed the crowd chccicd Soosay,
and one man sed he'd pay the fine; an
other sed he'd see her affair fito with
the Judge; another sed he’d rather
risk the Womau to vote than thousands
of them drunkeu furnners and fools
who elected John Morrissey.
Now I've been thinking a heap
about this votin hisness inysclf and
my opinyun ar that Governor Jinkius
is a mighty smart man. Thu first time
un for Governor they beat him be^
cause he sed he dident think that ev
ery tool and vagabond ort to he al
lowed to vote. Be was lor drawin in
the lines instead of ietlcn eui out, and
the melnnkolly sequel have proved
that he were wright. If I was a king
I wouldcnt let any body vpte who
couldcnt tell whether Gen. Jackson
as dead or alive, or who took more
than three drinks a day as a regular
thing, or who chewed tebaker after lie
had goue to bed, «*r who was a mean
er man than his daduy, or whobclccv-
ed iu gosts and witches, or who dident
put on a clean shirt oust a week or
who dident earn oU cents a day at sum
respectable bbiness, or who shouted
at nitc mcctlus more ttidn two hours
>n a stretch. 1 heard a blind frccuol-
•gist say that the way to test a man’s
sense was to draw a straight line from
the top of' his upper lip to his furred
and auothcr from the lower corner of
his nose to the hole .u his ear, and it
the augle between was less than 00de
grees, he might be smart for a monkey
hut lie wag a fool for a man. lie *c«i
that this test would rule out all the id
iots and Alrikans from votin. if it did
cut their faith in witches would. 1
wouldcnt let a furriuer vote until he hail
lived here ami behaved himselffor ten
years, and he shonldent vote then un
less he hail married an amcrikau girl
and gone to raisen children on nmeri-
kan soil. I wouldeut let no unmai-
ri*'d man vote who was under years
old; though 1 would let all slch Justify
by saying that tncy had tried but no
body would have cm. I'd make cm
name the gals iu their allidavy.
I would lot every married man qud
his wife and every widder vote if they
wasn't put oil by the foreign excep
tions. They should have ono vote
apiece for themselves and one for ev
ery child they had. This last would
elevate the Arpian family about elek-
tion times shore. A hording to Solo
mon, all sich ought to have a heap of
privelcgcs, for it aint no picavunc bis-
ncss to raise a bii? drove of children.
Jest let any hide-bound bachelor try
it and sec. I look upon rcspektahle
children as the hope ot the Slate, and
if I had my way these stagnant old
rips who wont marry, but prowl around
and live easy and die rich aud leave
no sign, at least, none to speak of,
should be taxed heavy and the money
appropriated to the ortins’ fund.
What s araan worth to the State, who
leaves it no defenders after he’s ded
ami gone; who patronizen no Sunday
schools or Munday schools—buys no
candy or baby cloths, or barlow knives
or long stockings, or j&ckonet muslin,
or hoop skirts or galluses. What in
trust has he got in berpetualion great
principles? Why, a clironick old bach
elor can jest turn over in hisoue-hor*e
bed and die and not keer a darn if the
world comes to an end in l.» minutes.
He wouldcnt keer if the devil was to
break loose and eat up the women and
children alive.
Now I’m not sayin a Word agin
them married forks who sumhow else
haintaksidemally been blessed with off
spring. By no means. They showed
a willingness to have cm and that's
cmifforme. I’ve always apolegized
for pepul who done the best they could
whether they sukseeded or not. I amt
no Bonypartc to chop a man’s bead
off for loosin a battle, whether he was
to blame or not. I'm a friend to mar
ried foaks. children or no children.
Lawful wedlock is sosietys main spring
—its back bone—its life inshoorancc.
Ivo no patience with these stingy old
stags who wont marry without they
git a pile of punshun money, who want
'to be nired to do it, who tiang around
a town wnitm for some rich gal to turn
up, while theros lota of poor ones, pur-
ty and clever, just wailiu to take su
gar in them.
Now I don’t want to be misunder
stood abont this votin bisiness. I aint
in favor of women mixin up with scal
awags and trash at ibe polls. By no
means. 1 want the moral strength
and influence of the votes bekaus
they-are better aud purer and honeU-
cr than the men, but 1 would hev cm
to stay at home and let their husbands
or their fathers or their next friends
vote for em as the case may be. If a
man fooled his wife out of her vote it
would be exactly the clean thin** but
it would be a family matter, and no
body's bisness. It wouldeut be the
unly thing that some men fool em
about. There’s stroug minded women
and weak minded men, and in such
eases I would let the longest pole
knock down the persimon. The time
■used to was when a married womnp
dident hav no voice in nothin—except
making baby cloths. She couldcnt
own any property—she had no sivil,
existence. If any body give her any
thing the inw required a man to keep
it for her If she couldent live with,
a drunken husband and qnit him the
law giv him all the children. But as
the world grows older tthe keeps a
steppen np luglicr. Now she can own
much property as any body, and
: cau make a will, and in sum states
set on a Jewry, and in 9 cases out of
10 she gets the children when there is
divorce. Sum of em study in medi-
u aud make the best sort of doctors
for women, and for children a hour
old and under. They do clerkin and
bookeepiu an telegraphin and print in,
and can keep a post ollis better than
a man and nev**r steal a cent. If they
do peep into other woman's letters it**
only out kuriosity and they always
seal cm up again. Take it altogether
it look* to me like the time has rnity
when they have got to ad
mit that a wamnn is just as good as a
man if not better iu most everything
that requires more sense titan muscle
I wont say she ort to vote if she don't
want to, but I do say that no pol-
itishun could by her vote with a drink.

Safety in Ocean Travel.
The loss of the steamship Atlantic,
of the White Star line, and thoJCityof
Washington, of the Inman liuc, both
of which ran into shallow water and
foundered on the rocks, has set inven
tive minds to thinking whether some
device could not be made to prevent
such accidents in the future. One
inventor, Mr. E. D. Gird, of Syracuse,
N. Y., has 4 very simple plan which
has already attracted the attention of
soue of the steamship owners. This
plan is based on the law of specific
gravity, which makes tho pressure ex
erted by a column of water twenty
fathoms deep and much gieater, of
course, than that exerted by a column
only four or live fathoms iii depth.—
Ti e apparatus consists of a hollow
lino or flexible tube, at the lower cud
of which :s a weight and ail air cham
ber, with a piston, upon the outer e ur-
face of which tb<s pressure ib received.
The upper end of tins tube is attached
to the ship in the cugiuc room, and a
prjssure-guagc, resembling an “ upe-
roid” barometer, indicates constantly
the depth at which the weight is de
pending with as much accuracy, it is
ciaimed, as tlie steam guage indicates
the pressure ou the boiler. As the
vessel nears land tho air-chamber
comes toward tl;e surface, the pressure
becomes less, and the result is told bv
the guage, which is constantly before
the eyes of tho eugiueer. An alarm
hell in also attached to the guage,
that Irf case tho vessel enters \
ater the signal of danger is
•unded. The inveutor aayr
that a guage can also be placed in tin
captain s room, and claims, further
more, that,the same apparatus can be
made to indicate the speed of the
sel.
Post Office Rulings.—Circulars
entirely in liriut except the addref
which may be written, may be sent i

ery two ounces or traction thereof.—
Tho addition of any-writing, such

In either case it is the duty of a post
master receiving a package of postal
cards prepaid, as before mentioned, to
distribute them through the boxes of
bis office when so requested by the
sender, after canceling the stamp on

The Herald’** Washington corres
pondent sends that paper tho following
under date of Tuesday last:
The Secretary of the Treasury and
ti e Director of tho mint, Dr. II. R.
Lindermau, to-day fixed upon tho de
vices lbr the new’ silver trade dollar
authorized by the coinage act of 1873,
seven different sets of devices, prepar
ed by the Philadelphia mint, being
submitted. The one adopted has for
its obverse a female figure, seated on
a bale of uottou and extending the
right hand, grasping an olivo branch
toward tho open sea. In the left hand
is a scroll, bearing the word “Liberty,”
and at the base of the device is the
motto, “Iu God wo trust. 15 The date
of the coinage (LK73) appears upon
the obverse, together with the hallo of
thirteen stars. The reverse is the lig-
uie of an caglo, with tho inscription,
“United States of America,” and the
motto U E Phtribus Uuum." The
weight and fineness, with the words
“Trade Dollar” arc also appropriately
inscribed on the reverse. Thowoik-
ing dies will he commenced immediate
ly at the Philadelphia mint, and the
coins are expected to bo ready about
the middle of this month. Already
there has been dejiosited in New York
upward of a million of dollars to be ex
changed for tho new dollar, and thu
Will be the first requisition filled. It
is understood they will be shipped im
mediately to Cliiua and Japan.
We suppose the bale of cotton is in
tended as a compliment to and recog
nition of the importance of this section
from tho Treasury standpoint. If so
we should feel duly grateful.
Raising the Giiost of Map. Suit-
nt.—Washington, Aug. 2ft.—Jud;
Advocate General Holt publishes
the Chronicle to-day a statement d
fending himself from charges that he,
when presenting the record of the
trial of Mrs. Hurratt to President
Johnson, withheld from him a peti
tion signed by live members of the
court recommending, in cor side
tiou ot Uo? age and sex, commutation
her death sentence to imprisonment
• life. The communication em
braces a letter from Judg* Holt to
Secretary Belknap denying iu toto the
assertions referred to, and offering as
proofs of his innocence letters from
Judge Bingham, cx-Attornuy Gener
al Speed, lion. Jas. Ilarlaud, Rev.
Dr. Fuller, pastor of St Paul’s Church
and many others, all of which are to
the effect that the recorJ of trial and
the petition in fivor of Mrs. Surratt
were in the President’* office before
the execution of the conspirators.—
Judge Bingham’s letter, dated Febru
ary 17,1873, state* that having drawn
up the petition on behalf of Mrs. .Sur
ratt, and having after her cxecutiou
heard the report that it had been
withheld from the President, totalled
on the .Secretaries of State md War.
Seward and Stanton, and was assured
by them that the communication had
been before the President aud been
duly considered by him and his ad
visers before the death sentence upon
Mr*. Surratt had been approved, and
that the President and Cabinet upon
such consultation were a unit in de
nying the prayer of the petition.
Man and Woman.—It is a very
strange anomaly that men of greatest
genius, as a class, found but little hap
piness in mairiage. Goethe, Wych-
er’y, Wilkes, Byron, and a host o!
others, assumed the matrimonial
noose cither from motives o! interest
or spite. Aud these representative*
of mankind truly prove that “man’i
love is man's life a thing apart.” I
i* but a modicum of his nature. Ixive
is but the flowers of bis early life, and
he rarely cultivates them an he docs
his ambition, lut ruthlessly crushes
the tender plants iu his march for
pinnacle in the world’s thought. Wo
man* life is a biography of ihe hi
When she ti-IL man that she love*
him. she tells him ’* there is my life;
it is yours.” Tto heart, teher world—
*he govern* am! directs it for him.—
She embark* her whole v»ul in the
sea of affection, and loses all when it
is wrecked—for it is the wrecking of
the heart There is joy for him that
her love cannot compass; no misfor
tune that her affection cannot ward
off, and no sacrifice so great but what
she can make it for him.
“Now Willie, dear,” says Fanny,
“do have a little conrrgc; when 1 have
a powder to take. I don’t like it any
more than too do, but I make up ur
mind that I will take it and I ido.^
“And when I have a powder to lake,”
replied Willie, “I make up mv mind
that I won't lake it, and I don't.
