HON."WILLIAM MACK was chosen chairman of the Indiana delegation at the Cin cinnati convention.'
Til® Missouri delegates to tho Cincin Dttti Convention passed through the city last night on their journey to the big powwow.
StJSAH B. ANTHONY, Rachael Foster, Mrs. Merriweather, and Mrs. Blake started for the Cincinnati Convention this morning. Miss Foster says they will ask the Democrats to put a small splinter in the platform for them.
TnE Supreme Court of Indiana has decided that the amendments to the qonstitution, voted upon'at our April election, arc unconstitutional. This action causes our state election to be held in October, which will create additional expense. We don't think the people of Indiana Will stand such proceedings, and that it will be the means of driving thousands of good Democrats to the fold of Republicanism. We have always been afraid of some such action on the part of a Democratic Supreme Court, but kre glad to know that our townsman, Judge Scott, dissented from the majority opinion, as did also Judge Niblack. It Was a terrible strain for this majority of judges to get their guess work up to that point, but it was the straw that the drowning man catches hold of. This decision gives the Democrats a better show, especially in the' southern part of the state, where "their Kentucky repeaters can be brought over. We trust the people of Indiana will put a quietus on this outrageous decision, by rallying to the Re publican standard, in the interest of jus tire and right.

WORDS OF WISDOM.
No man is to bo discriminated Against because he was for Grant or anybody else nor is he to be favored specially because he WHS against this or that mac. AH petty jealousies are to be depreciated. They are unworthy of Republican?.
After copying the above from the Chicago Infer-the Yiucenties Cowmrr cwl proceeds to say
This is wisdom. It is the sentiment every Grant paper in the Union and everr Grant man climbed aloft to nail it at the mast head. There wtlsl be no punishment of the Kaurns, as tlw* Terre Haute and a very few other papers would advise in^ause they were valiant. mid in" the froat rank for uieir jralhuu old

Conventi says 7 °Ef of the£lroh&cjy&ho are&eaddfs, we not desire to indorse the movement itself. There are seriou*—ioubt»—relati t» propriety and necessity—not its justice— ititpe tnind^ ot ttije getif ral public, A verjr significant circumstance in this di--section is tkatvery fcjwof-4h««atrona of the land—those who believe that the duties of wife and mother are those for which women arc best fitted—are in favor of woman suffrage, They take very little interest in the cause, and many of them freely Express themselves as opposed to the so-called reform. The movement makes but little progress, and the men of affairs and political parties "fight shy'' of it. Its objects are Utopian, and appear unattainable this side of that ideal qoun try. "We can not see what argument the Express produces to substantiate its position, "that there are serious doubts as to its propriety and necessity in the minds of the general public." The result of the Womans' suffrage Convention, just held in this city, shows on the contrary, that numbers of our citizens are beginning to see that there is something wrong. As Miss Rachael Foster said in her address last night, "those women who oppose the movement are generally women who know nothing of the slavery of their sisters in the lower walks of life,—when drunken libertines with the authority of brute force and a marriage certificate, cause the cheek of innocence to be stained with the tears of remorse and pain."

It is the condition of such women, that these noble ladies are trying to elevate.' And we have no doubt, that there is not a woman identified with the movement, who has better judgment in the needs and affairs of everyday life, than the gentleman who wrote the article in the Express this
morning. It is not to be presumed, that, if women had the ballot they would all vote upon every occasion that presented itself But there is one thing, that they would do— they would see that men of character were elected to office, instead of drunken fel lows and political abbogoincs: and a very good place to begin is in Terre Haute As for the movement making no progress the gentleman doesn't know whereof he speaks as these associations are being established all over the United States the one here now numbering about fifty mem bers. We havn't space to treat this mat ter as we would like to at this time, and will give it more attention at some othe period.

Susan B. Anthony. Elizabeth L. Saxon, Rachael G. Foster. Elizabeth Avery Mcr riweather, Lillie Devereux Blake, Vice Prosideuts of the National Women Suf frage Organization, closed a most instructive and interesting meeting at Dowling Hall last night.
The result of said meeting was the for mat-ion of a Women's Suffrage organization in this city, with the following chosen officers:
President—Mrs. Cyrus McNutt. Vice President—Mrs. C. W. Hodgen Recording Secretary Miss Fai Hammill.
Treasurer—Mrs. A. M. Adylotte. ^Executive committee, Corresponding Secretary, and additional Vice Presidents to be appointed by the President, and chosen by the society at a future meeting.

It giviBS me great pleasure to state that the names of two or our editors of thei evening papers appear among the list. So much alreaay done towiwds harmonizing conflicting elements.

No, gentlemen of America, we mothers saw our fathers and brothers fall beneath thq hand of slaughter. We do not now propose to rear up our children' to sh^re such like fate. Have not you also had eaough of war. Solf preservation is the quickest and strongest instinct of human nature, The strongest of you men and woman suffragists will acknowledge that your mothers and sisters are human beings, at least. Then why not accord to us that same silent right of self-protcction which has so successfully protected your person and your property for over a century.
In asking this we do not ask you to give us yonr means of self preservation only to grant us our own which has so long been with held by you. Yet, have we not ever been tnie to you as fathers, as brothers, as husbands, as sons. Can we give, have we anythiuf^morc to give than you have already received from vis. Our lives, and our sacred honor.
Since reposing such great confidence in you. as has been demonstrated, can you not now confide enough in us to place the means of self preservation in our hands and our own keeping. Did not your mothers nurse you tenderly as helpless infants, and rear you kindly as boys, enough so that you"mav still "trust to her heart felt kindness and justice as shown to you in the past. would, that, instead of reading these few words traced by my feeble pen, vou could all have listened* to those burning words of eloqncnce which fell from the Jipl of those gifted and inspired Priestess es of the rostrum last night, busah B.

167,548 votes in favor of it, to 139, against it. No. 3, to change the time of holding the State elections rrom October to November, was adopted by 174,400 votes for to 144.813 against. No. 4, to strike out the word "white" where it occurs in the present codstitution, was adopted by 176,820, votes for it to 130,2TO against it. No. 5. to regulate the fees and salaries of county officers, was adopted bv 181,887 votes for to 136,177 against it. No. 6, to establish additional courts of justice, WM adopted by 175,612 votes for to 141,296 arainst it. No. 9, to restrict the indebtedness of counties, cities aijd towns, was adopted by 160,381 for to 196,999 against. The lowest majority for any amendment was 17,116, the highest majority was 40,982. The Supreme Court has decided that none of the amendments are valid.
The constitution says any amendment to the instrument, after being adapted by two successive Legislatures, shaif besub mitted to the electors of the Stare, and if a majority of said electors shall ratify the same, such amendments shall become apart of this constitution." The foregoing amendments were submitted to the people at the township election held on the first Monday of April last, and were adopted by the above majorities, and subsequently certified to by proclamation of the Governor, issued April 28.
Some weeks ago, after consultation among Democrats, an agreed case was made up in New Albany and brought to the Supreme Court for the purpose of test "J!ivof the amentments. About ing Democratic papers began
ing the validitv of the amentments. About that time leading Democratic papers begi to give out that the amendments would be overthrown, and correspondents in this city who were in the secrets of the Democratic ring joined in the prediction. This foreshadowing of judicial action is fulfilled. The decision is based on the fact that the amendments did not receive a majority of the electors voting at the April election. Of course it is not denied that they received a majority of the electors who voted for or against each amendment, but because they did not receive a majority of all the electors, those who voted as well as those who did not, they are set aside. Thus the will of the people, fairly and regularly expressed by an overwhelming majority, is reversed technicality scarcely a quibble.
The decision was rendered with indecent haste. The argument was closed between two and three o'clock Thursday afternoon, and the opinion, covering about forty-five pages of legal cap, was rendered about noou on Friday. It could not have been prepared in the intervaV It was prepared beforehand, and was undoubtedly by preconcerted arrangement, in order to be used at Cincinnati.
The decision of the court has furnished new issue, and it will be the leading is sue of the campaign. The Democratic consirators who have thus undertaken to thwart the will of the people shall be made to face the consequences of the action. The state shall ring with this outrage. The question shall be raised in every school district whether the will of the people is thus to be trifled with and Ignored. It shall be decided at the polls whether this is agovernment of the people, by the people, and for the people.
The Terre Haute Express puis in a wail against General Raum for violating order No. 1. and cries for his removal. "If memory serves us right, and we think she do," the editor of the Express cursed President Hayes as President was never cursed before, and eulogized Mr. Arthur, candidate for Vice President, whom the editor of the Exprt** is now supporting with such commendable zeal, as the nominee of our party, for being the first in disregarding that order No. 1. We are altogether unable to discover the good sense or the prudence.of the anti-Grant editors continuing to tear their nether garments, or vent their splenetic wrath on Grant's friends, now that Grant was not nominated. It is neither wise or chialvic. If the editor of the Express can't be consistent, altogether, let him try a little.— Vine/nne* Commtr rial.

The decision is a partisan one the expression is used deliberately. It is a partisan decision for partisan purposes. The principal object was to make Indiana an October State this year. The Democratic managers believed this would inure to the interest of their party, and especially of Mr. Hendricks, und hence the conspiracy. Under this decision they will go to Cin cinnati and represent that Indiana is an October State, and that the nomination of Mr. Hendricks is necessary to carry it. We are informed and believe that this scheme was agreed upon in a secret caucus of Democrats recently held in this city. The overthrow of the amendments by the Supreme Court was part of a scheme. It is undoubtedly a political plot in the supposed interest of Mr. Hendricks. To accomplish the result of making Indiana an October State, all the oth er amendments are nullified. Tho door is thrown wide open for political fraud, a fee and salary law is rendered impossible, and the limitation to city and county debts is removed. All this is dope to make Indiana an October State.
