CATHARINE SOUTHEUN. Tlie Opiaion of Northern Etulies Regarding' her Case. Here is what Jennie June has to any about the opinion ot the North ern ladies regarding the case of , Catharine Southern: “The ciso of Mis. Southern, tho Geo gia woman who excited by jealousy, stabbed a | woman to death who bad for years I tried to step between herself and the | man who was her lover and after* ! wards her husband, has excited a | great deai of inteiest among women hero at the North, and many and heated have been tho discussions as to the amount if criminality involved in the deed At a recent ladies lunch patty where the subject was discuss ed, it was a little curious to find how much sympathy was felt for the mur deress, and how la gely she was ex onerated in the minds of nearly evety martied woman present. The argu ment was simply this; that the devo tion of the husband since the act of killing the other woman snows clear ly that he deeply loved his wife, and that it was only his gallantly, his van ity, his amour propre that were enlist ed on the siJe of Iter unscrupu'ous rival, who evidently pursued every advantage regardlessol honor,decence and loyalty to her sex, or considera tion for the feeling of a wife anl pros pective mother. For this kinl of wickedness in woman there is no puiiis nneiit. The law does not ree<>g n'ze it, and the unfortunate wife is utterly at the meicy of a man who is impelled by hi* vanity to parade his influence over other women. For this wretched woman was driven to desperation* there is no duuht, and so sour o i is the cause which impelled her to the fearful act, th it it is sur- j prising tumble sc nts are not more frequently enacted on this aoootl'it.” j A New Party.

Here and there a few restless, discontented, disipp ant ed politicians, who have aot>d with the D rnocracy, for the patronage tliey hoped to secure by its success, m y join Le new party, but their places will be more than supplied, both as to quantity and quality, from the irettcr class of mou iu the Republican party, who hate 'fraud, and oppose everything like secrecy in tho man agement at politic 1! organization.
