Refer to A. H. IhmcU, Mitchell and Mitchell. Home, Ga., Aug. 1873. 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. Bill Arp. At Church. Wear your best clothes to chnch. It will let people know that yon have got them, and then poor folks who go there will understand that yon ‘are somebody,’ and it will make them feel happy to think that they can af ford to attend church where people dress in the height o! style.

How Old are You? There is a good deal of amusement in the following magic table of figures. It will enable you to tell how old the young ladies arc. Just hand this table to a young lady and request her to tell yon in which column or columns her age is contained, add together tho fig ures at the lop of the columns in which her age is found, and you ltavo the great secret.

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 the mails in unsealed packages to on address at the rate of one cent to ev ery two ounces or traction thereof.— Tho addition of any-writing, such date, price mark, etc., subjects package to letter postage. Packages of merchandise to insure transmission in the mails at the rate of two cents for every two ounces or fraction thereof should be limited to twelve ounces in weight, wrapped so as to permit examination, and be un accompanied bv any writing other wise than the address, , Printed pcstal cards, *cithoUt*uldre*s. may oe sent by mail iu packages to the address of any postmaster, at the rate ot one cent for every two ounce* or fraction thereof. Written po-tal cards when sent as r.boro. must to prepaid at the rate of three cents for every half ounce or traction thereof. 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 each card, provided tncy do not con tain any matter forbidden by the laws. Under the new j*ostal code married women are eligible to appointments as postmasters. Every route agent, postal car clerk, or other carrier of the mail, shall f e- ceive any mail matter presented‘to him if properly prepaid by stamp.— Route agents' and poctsl-car clerks will mail suob matter to destination, mail carriers will deposit it in the first postoffice at which they arrive. Contractors and mail carriers may carry newspapers out of the mails for sale or distribution among subscriber?, but when such papers are placed in tlie postoffice for delivery, postage must be charged and collected. A philosophical Kentuckian who had but oae shirt, and was lying in bed while that garment was d»ying on the clothes line in the yard, was startled by an exclamation from his wife to the effect that “ the calf bad eaten it,” Well,” said the Kentuck ian with a spirit worthy of a better cause, “well, them who has most JoooY 25 20 2S 20 30 30 G3 <13 03 03 x.

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.
