Are Women Entitled to the Right of
Suffrage.
The question of removing the electoral
disabilities of women, Las, within the past
decade, had more or less of a hearing be
fore the public both in thia and other
countries. Notwithstanding all that has
been said and written upon the subject,
publio opinion still seems averse to grant
ing to women this valuable prerogative ex
cept in a limited degree, and then only as
to one or two matters which have Jittle or
no political significance. In educational
affairs, perhaps a majority of intelligent
people would conoede their fitness both to
vote and to hold office. This, however, is
simply a thing of education and instruc
tion, for which any reasonably well edu
cated woman is possibly as well qualified
as a man, and in some cases better than
most men.
Bet the matter of education, or the lack
of it. has. in this country, had little to do
with the right of suffrage. Voting, as
political right, has always been based upon
manhood, or more properly speaking upon
masculinity. Conclusive evidence of that
fact is Eeen in the giving of the right of
suffrage to male citizens alone whether
educated or otherwise, and notably in en
franchising the colored race, of whom
a laxee maioritv do not possess even the
first rudiments of an education.
Neither does property holding seem to
have any greater weight than the lack of
an educational test. What proportion of
the voters of this country are property
holders we will not undertake to estimate,
it is sufficient to say that in the present
state of unlimited manhood suffrage,
those who possess very little or do
property gonerally outvote the property
holders, and that it is numbers
and not property which really decides
matters of taxation and the assumption of
public burdens. Women who acquire
property and pay taxes, even though they
are not entitled to vote, are therefore in
reality in no worse condition than men who
are property holders and tax payers but
are in a minority as campared with those
who have little or nothing to be taxed
- It is not easy to Bee any benefit to accrue
from the enlargement of suffrage irrespec
tive of sex to the property holders and tax
payers, unless the right of suffrage should
be restricted by property qualification;
otherwise it would be only an enlargement
of the vntinir nlamnnr. witrinnr. material
improvement of its pervading quality.
As neither a property qualification, or
an educational test, have been considered
by our people an essentia), or at least an
indispensible element of suffrage, it follows
that wo must seek elsewhere for the deter
mining cause why woman has Dot been
heretofore allowed, and is still denied, the
right of electoral suffrage.
lue tiijjerentut ot sex and the insur
mountaoio consequences attendant upon
physical causes have always been the
potential and unbending reasons 'for deny
ing to woman personal participation in po
litical suffrage. Woman is denied the
bailor, to use the language of another,
because "a man's vote is the index of
lorce lying behind the vote; a woman s
vote would have no corresponding force
behind it." It is in the masculine ele
ment that the force is foand which con
stitutcs a governing element. The real
center of power and governmental agency
is in that wbich represents the forces
really governing. It is contended,
using the language of tho opponents of
female suffrage, that "the masculine
is the only sex from which soldiers
and police are taken or in other words,
the class of forco or the governing ele
ment, and therefore the male sex alone
should be admitted to elective franchise."
It must be admitted by even the "Soroait
that comparatively very few females have
masculioe tendencies, and that among
civilized people the gentler sex for the
most part naturally prefer the ways of
peaco and domestic lifo, the management
of household affairs, and the privileges and
duties peculiar to their sex, rather than
aggressive combattive. political nnd mar
tial pursuits such as men are continually
engaged in.
V ith due deference then, we submit to
those who are asking the bestowment of
suffrage upon women these plain questions;
whether the possession could possibly
chango the consequences which inevitably
follow the distinctive characteristics of
hcx; whether it would in any essential
degree alter the natural relations and con
ditioos of the sexes towards each other.
and whether in fact it would at all teud ti
increase wooians usefulness, or enlarge the
means of her individual happiness. If
not, then to what profit, or to what cssen
tial good would it contribute?
The deeper and more recouditc question
of whether suffrage Is merely an artifical
arrangement instituted for tho purpose of
obtaining a proper constituency with
which to lodge tho elective and law making
power of a country; or whether it is a
natural and inalienable right iuherent in
in every adult member of the body politic
without distinction of race, color, sex, or
preivous condition of servitude; is one
that we have not even attempted to
trench upon, and the limits of this article
will not permit its discussion at this time;
nevertheless wo are of tho opinion that it
is the paramount question to which all
others usually urged for and against the
subject are merely incidental and sub
sidiary. Tb CMaf Justice va The Zealota.

Jnler- Octun.
XL a following, from tho Chief Justice
himself, ought to be a sufficient answer to
all such covert sneers as the above, and it
certainly is a complete refutation of the
jealous carnard about his ill-treatment by
the Charlestonians.
Washington, D. C, June 25. The
Charleston News and Courier of Saturday,
received here to-night, contains the follow
ing extract from a private letter written
by Chief Justice Waite to ex-Governor
Aiken, under date of Washington June 18:
"I have to-day seen for the first time an
article which, as 1 understand, bas gone
tqe rounds of the newspapers, to the effect
that I was not satisfied with the social atten
tions I received while in Charleston.
Most certainly I hope my friends will not
believe me guilty of any foolish complaint
1 have never said a word from which any
such inference could possibly be drawn,
and no such thought was in my heart It
has annoyed me exceedingly. My daughter
is as much annoyed as 1 am with this news
paper paragraph."
The Chief Justice of the United States,
even if he thought he was not received with
sufficient social attention, could much
better afford to bear it in silence than to
parade to publio view a personal grievance.
If the Carolinians were unsocial, it would
be equally in bad taste for the Chief Jus
tice to make formal complaint of it, or to
permit his friends to do so, and we com
mend his good sense in resenting the im
putation that ho had ever complained of
not being invited out to dine, or of any
lack of attention from the Charleston peo
pie.
Refunding Municipal Debts.
Our exchanges contain the items given
below, which we reproduce to show our
citizens that elsewhere as well as here, the
subject of curtailing public expenses by
fundintr outstanding debts at a lower rate
of iuterest is engaging publio attention and
receiving earnest consideration:
The county court of I ike county is con
sidering the propriety ot retunaing i
portion of its debt at a lower rate of in
terest. About $110,000 bonds, bearing 10
per cent, interest, are now past due, and it
is proposed to refund them at G per cent.
interest, which would effect a saving o!
$4,000 a year a very considerable item,
these hard times. Propositions have been
made to effect the negotiation at -a cost of
2J per cent, on the amount retunded, but
the court thinks this is too high a rate.
and wants it done for 1 J per cent.
The Clay county court has ordered an
election to be held on the 7th of July to
take the sense of the people on the propo
sition to convert $240,000 1 0 per cent,
bonds into an equal amount bearing not
less than 8 per cent, interest, redeemable
at the pleasure of the county after January
1, IS to, and payable Januarys, li99. J. he
proposition, it carried out, would save the
county in interest $4,800 a year, and this,
if devoted to the reduction ot the principal,
would materially accelerate the extinguish
ment of it. Jefferson city has called in
$30,000 of its bonds, and invites proposals
for new ones, bearing 6, 7 and 8 per cent.
interest. The bulk of municipal bonds of
the state were issued during the extrava
gant era that closed with 1873, and bear
10 per cent interest I hat rale is too
high; it is more than money is worth.

A Perfect Toilet Soap.
First anion e the renuisit.es of the toilet is a cood
article of Soap, but to procure it is not always an
eay matter. Many of the most expensive SoapB in
tue mariict arc maue irom coarse, ana ueietenons
materials, and their delicate coloring and f raurnnt
perfume too often conceal the most repulsive im
purities. The disclosures recently made public
regarding this hu i ject are positively startling, and
deserve serious consideration. Scented Soaps are
now known to be extremely objectionable, especial
ly if applied to the head i iuinrine the hair, irrita
ting the scalp, and inducing severe headaches. The

thanks to the enterprise and chemical skill of Mr.
B. T. Babbitt, of New York, the wtirld-renowncd
Soap Manufacturer, whose immense egtahluuimcn
is ly iar the greatest of the kind in the United
Mtatits. The renown of llr. Babbitt's various pror
dnctions haB for many years been widely dissem
inated, but this latest success is the appropriate
crowu to the nnmerous victories already achieved.
After years of patient labor and scientific experi
ment, Mr. Babbitt bas succeeded in perfecting the
composition of the flrest toilet soap ever intro
duced. The principal ingredients are the purest
vegctaole is; tne manufacturing processes are
entirely new and original, and tjjc result is Bimply
unpara.leled in this department of industry.
j,"B. T. Babbitt's Toilet Soap" is the trade mark
by which this elegant toilet luxurv is designated,
and for applications to the delicate skiu of infants,
children and ladies, it Is altogether unequaled in its
emollient properties. 'I bis Soap 1b not perfumed,
tbc ingredients being of such absolute purity as to
require no aid from chemistry to disguise inferior

Thonzh specially desirable for the nse of ladies
and children, this Soap is equally appropriate for

MAGNESIA
RnnpriAi1 tn mit T?nfltali nr American. A DTPT.O.
MA was awarded to tfiis Magnesia, by the American
Institute in 185?.
Thia very useful and elegant preparation is used ,
as an aperient antic acid in dyspepsia complaints
attended with acidity with very great benefit. It
has the advantage over common Magnesia, in being
dissolved, and therefore not beine liable to accu
mulate in the bowels. It is decidedly superior to
Carbonate of Soda or Potash, on account of its
aperient Quality.
in is solution ot Magnesia is tonna particularly
beneficial as a pleasine sedative and aperient, in ail ',
cases of irritation, or acidity of the stomach, febtlle
complaints, infantile disorders, or sea-sickness.
An ounce or two ol this solution speedily removes
heartburn, acrid eructations and sourness, or irreg
ular aieestion.
The solution is of itself an aperient, but its laxa
tive properties can be much augmented by taking
wuu 11, or uirecuy niter u, a nine iciuuu juice, mix
ed with sugar and water, or even with cream of tar
tar; in this manner a very agreeable effervescent
draught .can be safely taken at any time during
ever or tnirst.
The antisceotic Qualities of this solution. ow!n
to the presence of so much carbonic acid, have been
touna very vaiuame m putria ana otner iever. as
a lotion for the mouth, it sweetens the breath, and
the Mamiesla cleans the teeth from tartar.
The solution has almost invariably succeeded in
removing fits, spasms and headaches to which deli
cate persons are subject from acids and crudities of
thestomacn and ooweis.
i he attention of the public is Dftrlicnlarlv direct
ed to the following certificates of physicians and
other persons who have used the Magnesia:

Eagle Anvil Works I
. Established 1843
. i
Made at the oldest Anvil manufactory in this
country. All English Anvils, after a time, Worae
hollowing on the face by continued hammering in
use, on account of the fibrous nature of thc-wrought
iron causing it to "settle," under tue steel.
But the body of the Eagle Anvil being tf crvs
talnzed iron, such settling cannotoccur: and the
steel face therefore remains perfectly tree. Also.
it nas tne great advantage, that being of a more
solid niatcrial, and. consequently, w ith less re
bound, tue piece forged receives the FULL effect
of the hammer, instead of a part of it being wasted
uy tne renonnn, as wttn a wrouglil iron Anvil.
More work can therefore be done on this Anvil
with a hammer one-fifth lighter than required for a
wrongni iron Anvtl which is more elastic.
The working surface is in one piece of Jessop's
et root, i:ast stkkl, accurately ground, barn
enea ana given ine proper temper for the ncav "
worii. 1 ce norn is ot tongn nn tempered steel
1 ne cast sieei surface is warranted to be
