Cooke is the head, having failed in everything else, at last come ‘to Coa- gress with a vague petition, charging all manner of fraud and corruption on the part of those in authority. The memorial, which is signed by about a thousand persons out of the one hundred and twenty thousand which constitate the popu- lation of the District, calls for an investigation. ‘The friends of the District government male no opposition to it, but on the contrary expressed a desire to have the charge examined. It was ac- rdingly referred to the Committee on the Dis- trict of Columbia, with power to send for per- sons and papers. The reactionists will receive as little comfort from this new movement as they did from their efiorts to stop the march of improvement by appealing to the courts.” Tur Woman SuFFRacisTs AND Gey. Bur- Len.—A delegation of female suffragists to-day presented to General Butler a petition signed by 35,000 women in all parts of the country, pray- ing the right of suffrage, with the request that he present the same to the House.

He had been the champion of the oppressed, and was one of the great rocks upon which the rebellion To him they looked to marshal their forces and lead chem on to victory. Like (Paul, they come pleading their cause, and en- trusted their ition tohim. The names to it were from state, and came in spontane- sly; others were being received now at the ‘of 500 per day.
