—The House of Representatives
had UDder consideration on Saturday
evening the veto message of Governor
Campbell on House bill numberfour,
being the uct repealing the act of the
last legislature granting suffrage to
women. The speeches that we heard
were from Messrs. Kuykendall,
Shocks and Willson, and certainly
were what might be expected of every
right thinking person, manor woman.
We heard one prominent Republican
member say in private, he was decid
edly opposed to the wisdom of female
suffrage, but voted for itscontinuunce,
as a party measure merely. We can
not commend his judgment and much
less his independence, in blindly fol
lowing th# false assumption of the
party character of the question, when
in truth it has no more the nature of
a party measure than the question of
high or low price of whisky at a sut
ler’s cabin on the Yellowstone.
The vote on the question “shall the
bill pass, the Governor’s veto to the
contrary notwithstanding?” resulted
in'their being nine in the affirmative
to two in the negative, two being
absent and not voting. Thus the
bill passed the House, and now is the
subject matter for the further deliber
ation of tlie honorable Council. If
members will consult their own con
victions of right, rather than the
dictates of personal policy, and their
-•-relations with those who falsely as
sert its party character, the question
will be settled in away to reflect
honor on our Territory. The aboli
tion of the useless statute conferring
suffrage upon women, will be regret
ted by none of the sex, save those
emulous of an unenviable notoriety
in the ranks of the suffrage shriekets,
the unsexed and uncultivated, we
had almost said unchaste, of the Ter
ritory. The question has its advo
cates among those of lax socialistic
ideas, the Woodhulls and Tiltons of
society. It has moreover the odor of
free-loveism and depravity. About it,
an inseparable odium attaches, as
nature, a foul and rotten
thing, which will be deprecated and
discountenanced by all high minded
and honorable persons of either sex.

—The relative party setrength of
the present Congress is as follows:
Senate—fifty-six Republicans, and
seventeen Democrats. House—one
hundred and forty Republicans, and
one hundred and three Democrats.
The carriage used by the Grand
Duke Alexis at New York is the pri
vate carriage of Mr. Van Ranst, and
is probably the handsomest vehicle in
the United .States. It is a clarence,
maroon silk that cost sl(i
j per yard. The carriage, with its out
fit, cost $5,000. Admiral Posslet says:
“It is the prettiest thing 1 over rode
in.”
—Theodore Tilton explains certain
jieeulinrities in the mental constitu
tion of Victoria Woodhull, by the
fact that her fattier commonly cor
rected her with a hand-saw. The
kind of tool employed is usually de
termined by the nature of the inate
i rial upon which it is to he used;
young Vic was probably a blockhead.
Possibly, hoWever. the hand-saw was
not used upon her head.

There is now living in Williams
port, Vt., a lady, eighty years old,
who had thirty-three children of her
own. She has been three times mar

A lady correspondent asks: Why
turn every woman suffrage conven

every crack-brained theorist may
ride?”
The Chicago Post says the bell
worn by the cow that kicked over
the lamp that set fire to Chicago, is
on exhibition in that city in sixty-one
places.
Robert Lincoln did not lose much
by the great Are, as reported. His
furniture and fine miscellaneous li
brary were saved. He is said to be
preparing to remove from Chicago,
and commence the business of the
law elsewhere.

—Almonds possess one very impor
tant quality which is not known. By
pounding und mixing with water,
and straining, a beverage almost
precisely similar to the sweetest and
richest milk may be obtained, Cream
even separates from this milk, and
can be converted into butter. Thus
almond orchards would afford us a
superior quality of milk, cream and
butter. “Roe’s Cyclopedia,” in a re
ceipt for preparing milk of almonds
gives the proportions as one ounce of
almonds to ono quart of water. And
as the trees fully grown average
twenty pounds per tree, half of which
we may estimate as shell, we mayex
pect one hundred and sixty quarts
of milk to each tree. In nutritious
properties, it is said by chemists to be
fully equal to cow’b milk, and fine
medical properties, being a valuable
remedy for heartburns, acidity, etc.
I It becomes acid from age, but never
rancid. The varieties advertised by
nurseymen are the sweet hardshell,
mast hardy, ladiel thin shell for the
South, Sultana or paper shells for the
North.

Condition of Prince of Wales.
Important French News.
ANOTHER REVOLUTION.
Congressional Matters.
London, Dec. 19—9 a. m.—Sir
William Jennerand other physicians
in attendance on the Prince of Wales,
have just issued a bulletin stating
that his Royal Highness passed a
quiet night. The prostration however
still exists, and grave symptoms of
the disease under which the Prince is
suffering have not increased.
Later—Sandringham, Dec. 10-
Noon.—The Prince of Wales passed
the morning tranquilly, and his
general condition now is somewhat
more satisfactory than yesterday.
The bulletin is signed by all the phys
icians attending the Prince.
The great prostratian of the Prince
of Wales is due to hemorrhage of
ulcers in the intestines. It is feared
one may be perforated. In that case
he would die suddenly by a collapse,
like the Earl of Chesterfield.
London, Dec 10—11 r. m.—The
physicians in attendance upon the
Prince of Wales have just issued the
following bulletin:
Sandringham, Dec. 10—10:30 p. m.
—Tlie Prince has been restless during
the evening, and there is no abate
ment of the dangerous symptoms of
his disease. The low condition of the
Prince causes the most painful anx
iety. and intense excitement prevails
throughout London and the kingdom.
Sandringham, Dec. 11—1:30 a. m.
The Prince of Wales has slept a little,
but there is no change in the symp
toms of his disease.
Paris, Dec. 9.—A change in tlie
French government is imminent.
Thiers will relinquish the presidency
in favor of Duke D’Aumale. He has
agreed to this movement with the
Duke, and all tlie influential mem
bers of the Right approve of it. The
Orleans Princes are to take tlieir seats
until this plan is carried out, then a
change is to be effected directly. All
the details have been arranged. The
cause of the change is Thiers’ inabil
ity to withstand the Right, which has
returned from the provinces, and
which is very hostile, and his fear of
the constantly increasing power of
the Imperialists in the army.
Paris, Dec. 10.—The weather here
is intensely cold. The mercury in
the thermometer to-night indicates
5J° below zero, centigrade.
There is a complete disagreement
between President Thiers and tlie
Orleans Princes respecting tlie right
of the latter to their seats in the
national assembly.
New York, Doc. 10.—The Bible
war at Hunter’s Point lias ended in
a compromise between tlie Cath
olic committee and tlie commis
sioners. All the expelled are to be
taken back, the Catholics aro not to
oppose the reading of the Scriptures,
ami tho Catholic children will be al
lowed to remain in the class rooms
during the religious observances and
exercises.
Tlie intended funeral procession of
the internutfonuls, which was for
bidden by the police, did not occijr;
to-day. It was feared Hint if an at
tempt would bo nmdo to parade a dis
turbance would occur. Prominent
intematioimis with red neck-ties,
and red feathers in tlieir hats were at
the Cooper Institute, where the pro
cession was to form, and walked
around an hour. The police were on
hand to prevent the parade and dis
perse any crowd that might collect.
Washington, Dec. 10.—Attorney
General Akerman has said nothing
whatever to the President about his
leaving the Cabinet, nor has the
President said anything to Akerman
on the subject. Members of Congress
and others have, however, freely ex
pressed themselves in favor of a
change, and are endeavoring to effect
it.
A bill has been introduced by Senator
Edmunds to regulate thecivil service.
It provides for appointments to all
offices except postmasters, such
as required by law be made by the
President with the consent of the
Senate, shall depend upon open
competitive examination. To that
end a Board of Commissioners is to be
appointed for five years, unless sooner
removed, by the President, with the
consent of the Senate.
A bill has been introduced by
Senator Cragin, which provides
stringent means for the execution of
the law against polygamy and in
cestuous cohabitation in Utah, and for
the re-organization of the Territorial
militia and the suppression of the so
called Legislature of Deseret.
Lawrence, Ks„ Dec. 10.—The
motion for a new trial in the Medli
cottcase was opposed by Judge Bas
sitt at Garnett to-day, and the pris
oner, Dr. Medlicott, was thereupon
sentenced to be hung on tlie 20th of
January. A MU of exceptions was
filed by the prisoner’s counsel and the
case will go to tho supreme court,
which meets in Topeka early in Jan
uary. The general impression among
lawyers is that the supremo court
will grant a new trial.

SPAIN IN A FERMENT.
London, Dec. 11—5 a. m.—it is
manifest from tho actions of sym
pathy everywhere and the prayers
for the Prince of Wales, tiiat the
i symptoms of death are very immi
i nent, and that all hopes of his recov
ery have been abandoned. Tho
Queen and Princess Alexandria are
beariug tho fatigue well, and the
latter hardly leaves the sick room.
London, Dec. 11—2 p. m.—A dis
r patch courier from Sandringham,
12:30 p. in., told outsiders he did not
expect to find the Prince alive when
7 he returned, und tiiat the royal fam
ily and others had given him up.
f New York, Dee. 11.—A special
dispatch from London says tiiat a
r tremendous excitement prevailed in
Madrid on tlie receipt of President
Grant’s message relating lo the Cuban
difficulty. The government has re
solved to maintain a firm attitude.
Reinforcements of 4,000 men, two ud
ditiona! Generals and four iron clads
will be immediately dispatched to
i Cuba.
f At the anniversary meeting of the
s, Protestant Episcopal Board of Mis
b sions, last evening, Dr. Haight an
nounced that at the meeting would
also be considered measures for the
t special benefit of the Indian Missions,
t Rev. Ilinman detailed his fourteen
years’ missionary experience among
tho Dakota Indians, and made a plea
for the theory ol Christianity us tho
best means of civilizing the red man,
and asked for money to aid him in
his work.
Tlie Bishop of Oregon spoke of his
missionary labors among the Chinese.
Addresses were also delivered by
Bishops Tuttle, of Montana, and
Clarkson, of the Nebraska and Dakota
Mission.
CiiiuaHo, Dec. 11.—Tlie Times’
Washington special says the New
York Horald’s dispatch pretending
to give the details of the plan on foot
among the Democrats and anti-Grant
Republicans for the impeachment of
the President, is utterly destitute of
truth and one of the most reckless
fabrications. Montgomery Blair and
Senator Sumner, whose names are
connected witli it, say they never
heard of tlie project until it appeared
in the Herald, and the Democratic
committee, whom it is alsoattempted
to involve, make the snme explicit
denial.
Senator Trumbull will submit to
the Senate soon a resolution for tlie
appointment of a joint committee in
Congress on retrenchment, to t hoi
oughly investigate the civil service,
to see where the expenditures can be
reduced, what offices abolished, ole.
