'The Republicans, Leing in the minority in both louses, will notbe able to maintain this stand, but they huve plncad {themsolves on record, nud will %$o conduct themselves 03 to make the Domo. arats clenrly responsible for any unnecessary prolongation of tho scasion. : ————— Judgo Rives, of Virginin, docs not appenr to intimidato worth o rush, 1Mo hes just im- parted his views of law, right, and. justice to the Federal Grand Jury uow in session at Lynchburg, wherein he intimales 1t tha equal rights of all citizens, irrespectivo of color, must bo respeeted in his Court at lenst, and sets fortl in unmistaknblo languagoe tho evils which must unavoidably spring from n systematic avasion of the Inw in the soleotion of jurors to the oxclusion of the colored people of the State. e solemuly declores that tho faith of tho people of the 0ld Dominion is plighted to tho Ceneral Govornment, and ho will have no part in nullifying the laws of the land, The Comimon Couucil Inst evening passed another approprintion ordinance, pnying so Iittlo nttention to thp objections cited by the Mayor in his imessagn of Mondny night that there would seem to bo no esemie from the duty of agein interposing his voto, The roduction from the ordinenco flrst passed smonnts to 195,000, or less one-third the sum which the Mayor bas undertakon to keap in tho pockots of tho taxpayers by vetoing the entiro bud- get.

But Tury, Prausoxs, SANdrus, und Prrrrs, though Democrals, wore eleoted by Repub- lican votes from Republican wards; and the samo is true, though not to the samo extent, of Dawy and JoNas, from the E ghteenth Ward, TFrom any possiblo point of view, {herefore, the Republicans aro in a majority in tho Council, and thoy had a large popular majority in the city last fall, so that it is obviously nnfair that o Domoeratio Election Connnitteo should he appointed with a view to the sclection of a majority of Doamocratic jndges of clection. Wo do not understand how Mr, Tuiey can reconcila this with his senso of justice nnd right. RANDALL AND RLACKBURN. The content between Messrs, Raxparn and Bracknuny for the Speakership might bo suumed up in the single remark that the hearts of the Domoernts wero with Braox. vuny, though & majority of their votes went to RaxpaLL frot various considerations of policy. 'T'he clLoice of Raxvary as the Dem. ocratio eandidate for Spenker by no means signifios the dofeat of tho Confoderate nnd bulldozing elemeut in the party, forItaxpary s not n conspicuous represantative of the Union War Democrats, nor of that clnss of Democrats who aro now opposed to the pay- ment of Rebel claims and tho ‘reassertion of the Southern supremncy over the party councils, Iad there Leen any inteution of tostiug the relative strength of ‘the factions on ihis question, sowe such Duincerat nw Gon. Braag, of Wisconsin, would have beon solected ns the candidate of the Conserva. tives, Diut tho purpose was to avoid sich n division which, if tried, wonld have resulted in tho choico of Bravksuny by an over- whelming majority. “ Rasparv's final triumph over Bracknuny was dus fo n varlety of eaucos. TFirdt and forontost wns the conviction that tho seloe- tion of Bracknuny becauss he was a bull- dozar and in full sympathy with thoe ox- Confedorates wonld materinlly injuro the Demovratio chances for carrying the Prosi- dentinl eleation next year. It would Loa warning to conservative Demoorats at the North that the sccossivn of their party to tho full control of the Govornment would simply mean o sectional rule by the South for the sectional bonotlt of the South, The ex-Oonfederaten wero afraid o strike, Thoy srgued that o fittle solf-restraint for the thine being would probably help the Demo- cratic party iuto full control of the Goveru- ment, and thot thon, with a largo majority in the Democrativ enugus, the ox-Confuderate elemoent could assert its domunion with im- punity. 'Lhis considorntion, along with the couviction hat RaNpaLn nminy bo trusted to promoto all partison measures and move. menty, had nlarge influsnce in turning to Ravparn the votes of many ueme liers who wonld Lave proferred to voto for Bracknony and the polioy which he more diruetly represonty, Thero wera other circumstnncos that had weight in tho matter. Many of the Sonthern membern thoroughly dovoted tothe Confeder- uto aud Bonrbon schemes, who would ordinn- rily have voted for Buacksuns, were hound to TtaspaLL by personal obligations for past fu- vara which they conld not ignore, The I'int wing of the Democratio party did not give Brackuunn so much strougth os was expected from it, owing, probably, to the de. termination of thoso elected as Greenbnckers to tako au indepoudont position in the Spenk- ership oleotion, Buackbunn's 57 votes fn caucus ngninut tho 75 cust for RANDALL rop- resofited for tho most part such dovetion 1o the extreme Ktato Hovereiguly, Bourhon, cx-Confedurate, aud bulldozing poliey o could not bo influcucod by nuy considern. tious of policy; but it iy safo 1o say that n largo wnjority of RaNpALL's 78 voles were cast by men equally davoted to the Bourbon progranune, and ouly rostrained from votiug for BLacknusn by porsonal motives, or an in- tout to decaivo tho conservotive puople of the country, . It is uot yot possiblo to forotell just what course Ltanparn will favor in the chuir aud with the large influence which the position of Bpeakor will givo him. * s con- duct I8 usually governed by pereonal and portison v{llnliven ‘that upply to any ewer. gonoy which suny arise.

FEMALE LAW AND FEMALE VOTERS. We print this morning au argumont: by J. EwueNy Fosten, Exq,, of Clinton, Ia., who {8 an attornoy at Inw, to show that the Legislatute of Ilinois mmay by law confer upon womon the right of voting iu this Stato 6n the subject of licenso or no leenso for the snle of liquors, Mrs, Fosten repro- sentod the signors to the big petition pre. sented to tho Logislaturo some weeks ngo, and was selected beeause of hor legal attain. ments to argua the guestion of counstitutionnl power, and the ingenuity with which she per- formed that duty isovidenoced by her plausible reasoniug in the lettor wa print this morn- ing. In order the more cloarly to under- stand the point at fssuo, we quoto the lan- gnago of the Constitution of Illinols: ** Evary pereon having reslded In this State ono year, in the county ninety days, and In tho elec- tlon distrizt thirty days next preceding any election therein, who was an clectot In this State on the st day of Aprll, A, D. 1818, or obtained a certificate of naturallzation before any court of record in hls State prior to tho 1st day of January, in the year A. D. 1870, or whoahalt bo a male cltizen of tha Unlted States sbovo the age of 21 years, shall be entitled to voto at euch election.” That1sthe supremo law of this State, bohind which the Legislature cannot go. I'hat law limits the right of voting at nny olestion to thomalo citizons of 21 yenrs of age designated, ondresident as provided. Mrs.FosTEn eriticises the term *“such clection " as moaning nu clec- tion forofficers only, but the words *‘ such clection " refer lo the term *‘nny election,” proviously contained in tho provislon. The inevitable conclusion therefore ds that to bo entitled to voto at * auy clection ” in the State of Iilinoisa ** person " resident, ete., must be a *“male citizon of the Uriled Statos and 21 years of ago,"” The lndy admits that tho Constitution of the State excludes females from the right of suffrage, but sho cluims that *“any eleetion ” lield in the Stato islimited to thoso where the sovereignty of the peoploe is oxercised in the olection of parsons to {ill certain officen in citlior the Logislative, Judicial, or.Executive departwents of (he Government. Unfortu. nately for the argument, the lady quotes the statato regnlating the eloctions of officers as part of the constitutional definilion of what is ou election, The Constitution itsslf pro- . vides for n great varioty of clections, nmong which nre the sabmission to the people the approval of laws increasing tho State dobt ; tho popular approval of an incrensed ex- penditure on the State-House; clections ns to the increnso of county taxes; division of counties; removal of couuty-sents; adoption or discontinunnco of township organization ; adoption of city and villago charters; on the adoption of ganoral bauking lnws; -amond. ments to the Constitution ; ond on aelling or lensing tho camal, Tlere are ten [and thero are others) distinet mntters of election provided for inm the Constitution, which in vowiso rolnto to tho election of any oftlcer, legislative, jndicial, or exccutive, but ntall of which elections the right of voting is limited to persons entitled to vote undar the genersl provision of the Constitu- tion, nud who of necossity must bo ¢ male cltizens 21 yenrs of age.” If thore was o shred of doubt as to the forco aud meaning of tho general provision of the Constitution, theso numerous and repeated affirnn- tions of tho quulifieation of volers ot oloctions othor than for the cliojee of ofitcory, by tho Constitutiqn, wonld re- move it. ‘The Coustitution overwhelmingly oxcludes the presuption of any persons be- ing entitled to vote at ** any election” what- over, for any purpose, save those entitled to vote undor tho general provision of the Con- titution, The Constitution of tho State, huving fixed the nge nnd kex of votors, endy the coutroversy, aud it is immaterinl what.other States mny have doune, or what the Logislaturs might do, if the Constitution wns out of tho way. The roforenca by tho lady Ilawyer to Judgs Coornry's work on constitulional limitations is n roferonco to n state- mont of tho many variations in the laws of States on tho subjout of the right of vot- ing, and not to the assertion of any rule. Troperty qunlification in voters was once vory genorel; it is not now required ot all; but ovon if it was required in overy Stato in the Uuion, aud if women wero allowod to voto at general or speclnl cleotions in evory othier Stato in tho Union, so long ns thoy ave cxeluded Ly the Constitution of Iilinvis thoy caunot vote in this State until the Cone stitution be changed, Tho lady begs the quostion when sho says, * If the Legislatuye enn exclude males from voting who are not ownors of property, surcly the Legislature may extend the right to thoso who uro not waules,” Tho misfortuue iy, that the Tegisla- tiwo cunnot takg, from any malo eitizen 21 yenrs of agu the right of voting by vequiring a property quatitication, The Legistatare Lins uo more powor to limit or extond the privi- lego of voting ns fixed by the Coustitution thiau has the Womnu's Temperauco Uniou, It may bo mdmitted that the Legislature may, under tho police power of the Stato, restriolt or prohibit the liguor trafe; but that cannot b tortured into an admission or concession that the Legislaturo ean change \ho coustitutionnl (ualification for voters, When the Coustitution provides that no per- sous shall voto ot any cection in this Stato who are not male citizons 21 yenrs of ago, the Logislature cannot, by the exercise of the poliva fores, make nll udult fumnules voters, nor duprive sdult wales of the right of voting. Quco admit the power of the Logislature to udmit women of 21 to vote, why uot the power to admit women of 18, or 16, or ‘of 12 yeurs, to vote? I {ho end sought by the Luglslatura van bo regarded a8 empowering that body to db anything needed 1o accomplish that end, then, however conveniout may bo suoh a yule, it involves totnl aunihitlation of il Constitutions, Wa have, out of rospost to the lady whose logal uttainmonts enused hor ta be called from Jowa to present the coustitutional ar~ Hument to the Legivlature of 1llinoly, treated this matter us & question of legal nulhority ou tho part of the Legislature, - Wo dg not kuow that any *wale cilizen 21 yours of nge,” and n lawyer, has over publicly ox- presred tho opinion thaf the Legistatura tould make wemon Inwful votors at any cléetion in Illinols, tho Bar nro in ndvanco of the mals Lrethrou, ‘The nesutptions of this femdlo lawyer ara nogatived by nll hjstory andexperienco, 'Llio nrgument ja, that, if women have the right to vote, thero will 1o n general susponsion of thosalo of liguors beeauso of tha refusal to licenso, Uuder the Liconse-Option law thore aro many {owns and villages within llfa. dny's rido of Chiengo whero thero nro no li- censes to sell lignor, Doen that Dban- ish the purchass or consumption of lquor by tho people of these towns?

The no-licenna policy hnt had a long trial in tho Stalo of Ohio. Twonty-nino yenrs ngo o solomn prohibition of leensing tho sale of liquor in auy form was writton on the Coustitution of that 8tate, and, from that day to (bis, no licenso for tho snle of intoxicnling liquors has boen granted in the Stato of Ohio.

It vequires no licouso’ fea to sell liquor in Ohio; it is freo trade in whis- ky, aud, though the cfforts of tomperauca people have boon untinng, and a distinet politionl tomperanco party hns nlways existed aud always labored to suppress tho unli- consod sala of liquor, all such efforts have failed, and tho unlicensed. sale of intoxieat- ing liquors Lins probably bLuen ns gront ns the liconsed sale would bo if tolerated, The nasumplion that liquor is bought becauso its snle iy licoused, aud that if no liconso be granted tho sale aud consumption of liquor will Dboth cense, is unwarranted by nny faot or circumstance in the experi- cnce of the Wust, Evon on Mra Fos- TeEn's theory that the *prolubition of liconses is an oxercixo of tho polico power of tho Slate, and that the Legislature mny in- voke the aid of the womon by their votes to enforce the polico power, the impotency of Constitntion and law to regulate the habits and nppetites of mankiud hins been illnstrited by the uniform experionce of ol CGovernments in all ngas and vountries, All such attompts matorially wenkon and largely contribute to dofest ovory moral-suasion mensuro to promoto temporance, Sikh po. litien! efforts wasto onergios and abilitios that might accomplish great good if rationally nud considerataly dircetod in other ways, —— THE CITY APPROPRIATIONS. Mayor Eeatir has earned tho hearty op- proval of tho entire taxpayiug commumty by Lis voto of tho excessive Approprintion bill as recontly passed by the Council. It was tho proper action to take, but nono the less conrageons and commendable becanse it was what ought to bo done, It would Lave been moro satisfactory, of course, if the Mayor Lind been ablo to veto only the objectionablo items, with the nssurauco that new. items coull bo insertod that wonld correspond with his rocommendations ; but he was ad- visod by the law ofticer of the city that such aotion would oither hazard a total lack of approprintions for cortain nocessary sorvico, or, in case of new items being insorted, nfford n protext for tax-fighting. Adting under’ that construction of the Inw (which wo nro inclined to regard ns too literal and technienl), ho toolk the only course opon to Lim for saving the taxpayors from an exoes- aivo expondituro of publis fuuds and an exorbitaut tax-lovy for the curront year, "T'ha totn! approprintions mnde by the Conn- cil, jucluding miscollaneous rocolpts a3 woll as tho tnx-lovy, amounted to 31,887,597, This was an increnso of nearly half n million ovar the approprintions for 1878, whon it hay Leen universal conviction among taxpayors that tho expouditures for tho current yonr should bo reducod and not inerensed. Ine cluding the 15 per cont savings from lnst year's npproprintiony not expendud by Mayor Ueatn, the DLill wonld hnve swelled this yoar's exponditnres $659,810 moro than lnst yoar's. 'I'his profligate appropristion way renched by n log-rolting inorease in the Coun. ¢l of wovaral items that wore abundsntly provided for in the nal estimates, Phun the Council spproprited 0,000 townrds the building of the Court.Honse, whilo thoro i+ yot unexponded $129,807 of tha lovy of 1878, and #70,000 duo from back taxes, mak. ing u total of nbout $150,000 for Court-1fousn purposes, Yot the sum of R157,628 wns all that was spent last year on the building.
