4 ALBANY REGISTER. V, S. Official PRr for Orojton. FRIDAY. APRIL 4. 1873. A Ktronc Ally. Tlie Womau .Niftragists possess a strong ally in Bishop Simpson of the Methodist church. He is a pulpit orator of most wonderful )ower, is celebrated as n lecturer, and hence his words are of weight, lie thinks it has come to the simple proposition, that "society must go down or woman must vote." He does not think that either of the political parties will be specially benefitted by the right of suffrage, as there would 1)3 but little differ. nce between the opinions of hits bind and wife ; but lie thinks that the man would be refined and his political action purified by the in fluence of women working with him, 7'he opponents of Woman Suffrage take the opposite ground, and say, that while the granting of ttie voting franchise to women will not increase the refinement and pu rity of the political action of men, it will have a tendency to lower woman in the scale of refinement, both intrinsically and as regarded by man. Those latter opinions have been 6treughthened, doubtless, by the impression which the opinions and conduct of some of the leading women advocates of the measure, have made on the general mind. It would not be fair, however, to take them, such advocatesas Mrs, Wood- hull, for instance, as indicative of the morals and refinement of the entire class. Many noble and re fined women, as well as noble, .manly men, believe in women suf frage. Bold, bad, masculine worn en, have cast a shadow of vulgari ty and coarseness over the agitation of the question, which has caused many womeu and men, whom more refined leaders would have gained to its support, to turn away from it in disgust. Such advocates, as Bishop Simpson, will do more in promoting the cause by a sing'e lec ture, than all such persons in a lite time. In rix. In the Memphis and El Paso Railroad case at Paris, Prance, judgment lias been rendered pro nouncing the defendants guilty of swindling, and sentence has been pronounced against them for various terms of imprisonment. ( Jen. Pre moot is condemned (in contumaciam (?) as it is expressed) to five years imprisonment. Other defendants were arrested as they were leaving the court Fremont, who is in New York, thinks injustice has lieen done him in this trial. After read ing trie testimony he found many witnesses had perjured themselves. On the 28th alt, he was in a quan dary, not knowing what to do. Ife was considering whether to go to 1 'aris and have the case reopened and tried on its merits. The Siwaslies eucamied at Cor vallis have lately liegun their jolly dances. 7'he noise they make pre vents the inhabitants of that sedate village from overmuch sleep. It may b? feared, that some of them thirst upon their little beds for a Peace Commission. Mr. t&irchild, successor to Gen, Palmer, as Agent at Siieta, went from Portland last week to assume the duties of his new position, Xot Co-reel. The Salem Mmtry, the style of which, by the way, is always in tensely bitter, as if it were boiling over with anger, hi a squib y last week set ins to try to convey the im pression, that all who voted in Con gress to raise their own salaries were Radicals It says, in substance, that it is useless to lie specific as to the "thieves" who voted for that measure; "their names are embraced in thelit'.le word Radicals." If the Mercury is correct, then such Sen. ators as Bayard of Delaware, Coo - icr of Teun., Davis of W. V., Stockton of X. ,L, Goldthwaite of Ala., and Norwood of Ga.. and ..... 1. 1., e 5 Ind Rice of Ky., Poster of rem,., iu jiose oi ua., nuwienana oi Mich., King of Mo., and numerous others, who were elected as Demo crats of the strictest sect, must have joined the Radicals very recently, .1 .i T a " ' uwu " B SUBBB M,e mercury was nam up tor some thing to " rile " about. fccnrelty ofConl in England. The scarcity and high price of coal in England has excited much solicitude, esneciallv amoncr cotton and iron dealers, though almost .... - every class of business is affected by it. The suffering is widespread, and the alarm has prompted the suggestion that the Government place a temporary embargo on the exportation of coal. It has also suggested that the laws of free trade might bi relaxed with pro priety for the general good. Then, too, the discussion of the subject has suggested the propriety of the Government becoming the owner of the colliers of the LTiited Kingdom, in preference to tl e railways. The Yreka Journal says : We should j udge theModoc war hasbeen a good thing for the telegraph com pany, judging from the news dis patches sent all over the world in reference to it, besides numerous government and private messages. Sixty Modocs apparently make more fuss in the world than the whole Confederate army did during the rebellion. The Bulletin gives an account of a lady in Portland who purchased a half dozen turkeys, and took ex cellent care of them so as to per suade them to produce eggs ; but all in vain. The reason developed when her husband examined them and found them all it-turkeys. Charles Reed, of Yolo, Cal , ex President of the tate Agricultural Society, has twenty one gang plows at work, each drawn by six horses, preparing ground for wheat. It is supposed that his farm is some more than a forty-acre tract.

It is further asserted that the winter storms have damaged tjie road very much, and that the receipts have hot equaled the amount required' for interest The bonds are quoted at 35 in the Berlin market, and at a recent meeting of the bondholders a committee was appointed to begin proceedings against Holladay and Comjiauy to secure the land grant of 1,500.000 acres.

One evening, seated by the Kt me fireside, Mr. Davis rea l aond from a po'it ieal letter of Gen, Taylor, and made running coromei t tor Mr. l 'oot.e's delectation, winch tin latter1 thought were friend's for a demo cratic Senator to give express'iop to in the heat of a canvass, hi fact, he hit mated quite stronifly that 1 .nought r. ia vis , a; heart, was a pite of his pro tho democratic Taylor man ; that fessed support oi nominee, he would secretly rejoice over Gen, Taylors election. .Mr. ! Davis had married u daughter of Gen. Taylor, and this little circum stance, Mr. Footo suggested, was at the bottom of hkcollestgne's compli ment of the letter, adding, in his im petuous way, that it would doubtless be a very nice thing, after all, to lie a son-in-law of the President. Mr. Davis could not brook this sarcastic intimation of treachery .on his part, and retorted in severe Wiguage, one word bringing on another, until the "grave and reverend" came to blows. The noise of the fisticuff amused other Confitressmen. who rushed into the room and separated the combatants, admonishing theflj of the shame which would attach to two distinguished Senators from the same state indulging in a dis graceful knock-down. This view of the matter naturally brought the two to terms, and like the man and Wife who "argued" the question of "rat or mouse," they shook hands and made friends. "Really," said Mr. Foote, after a smile all around, "really, I should not have thought of such a thing as striking Mr. Davis, if he hadn't passed the first blow " "Are you not mistakei about that ?" Urged Mr. Davis, apologet ically. "indeed, I am not," retor'ed the impetuous Foote. "It istny impression you struck first," pleaded Mr. D. "Ob, no, it v;as you." "But Fll swear it was you." "And I would swear it wasn't. "You did strike first." "I did not strike first." "Yon did.'' "I didn't." "Yon did.'' "I didn't," "Well, said Foote, at 'ast, rising hastily from his seat, "there shan't be any dispute asto who struck first tl.is time" and as he spoke, dealt Mr. Davis a stinging blow on the cheek, which resulted in another reco.it re, that, but for the inter ference of mutual friends, might have been going on until now, for both were "game" all over. The question as to who struck first being thus settled, nothing serious grew out of the matter: especially as cither party preferred to have the .
