THE FIRST OUN!

The first State election of the enmpsiign of 1872—the first skirmish before the great battle—was held in New Hampshire on Tuesday last, and resulted in the election of tbe Republican candidaie for Governor, Ezekiel A. Straw, by a majority of about 1,200. At the laat election, the Democracy elected their oandidate lor Governor, by a «najoiityof 808. The political contests in New Hampshire have always been interesting from the fact that the election is the first to take place each year and the parties have always been pretty equally matched. Although tbe vote of the State is small, more attention has probably been given by the leaders in national politics to thorough organization there than in moat of the larger states. The fact of its being the first State eleotion of this Presidential year, has given to it a national signifiiaice, and the interest was greatly increased by 1110 fact that, after a hard canvass, the Democrats carried tbe State last year for the first time since the war, aud also by the duty which devolves upon the legislature now elected to choose a United States Senator. The result of the selection of the Legislature insures the election of a Republi oan to succoed Senator Patterson.

THINGS are never done by halves in Massachusetts, and the much-vexed woman's rights question is being agitated, pro and con, in that busy and intellectual Commonwealth with a vigor and thoroughness perhaps not attainable in any other community. Having besieged the Legislature with petitions and speeches, pamphlets and manifestoes almost without number for tbe past three years, the advocates of woman's suffrage are now followed by the autl-feuiale suffrage ladies, who are doing their best to counteract the the efforts of their ultra-progreesive and industrious sisters by interminable protests against granting the ballot to women. Between the arguments, prayers and resolutions of theae two great factions of the ladies of Massachusetts, the legislators cannot find time to give their attention to their other duties. But as men have legislated for so many years, It is as well perhaps, that their interest* should be held in abeyance until the political rights and privileges oi the ladies have been finally adjusted.

Legislature of New Hampshire

is a singular body while the Senate has but twelve members, tbe House of Representatives has nearly three hundred and fifty. Almost every school district, and in feet nearly every influential family in the little State, mast have its representation on the floor ol the Lower House.

TUB Chicago Poet ia noted for ita wickedness. It says that the Democrats are now squinting seductively towards Judge David Da via, ainoe his nomination tor the Presidency by the labor reformer*. In fact, it Is scarcely too much to predict that the Democratic candidate Is almost certain to be D—D. lit. EDMUND JVMBI* writes to the Ofciosgo Tribune, from Germany, that the reosnt prohibitory legtetettan In Illinois will probably check German emigration to that Mate. TWa fright* ens some of the politicians.

FRMA LB DOCTORM.

Two Tsaas-HAUTB girls will enter a Medical College this spring. Tbey ln»dsion keeping their names oot of print lor toe present.—[Express.

That won't do, girls. Away with modes* ly if you expect to be doet rs.—[Mall. Tbe above appeared among the "per"sonals" in The Mall last week. Tbe word "modesty" was not nsed in the sense which the Express Monday construes it. What we meant was that when girls decide to study for any of the professions heretofore monopolised by tbe opposite sex, they should put aside all basbfulness and diffidence. Our boys are not so modest when studying for a profession as to "insist on keeping their names out of print."

Far be it from us to interpose tbe slightest obstacle to women engaging in the practice of medicine, a prolession lor which, in many oases, they are more peculiary fitted than tbe sex bertofore almost wholly occupying Its ranks. We are glad to see tbe women turning their attention in this direction, and we have already some noble ornaments to the medical profeasion. Nor is there any reason why male and female doctors should be antagonistic. Each will fill tbe sphere lor which they are best adapted, and a little of woman's refining influence, modest demeanor, temperate habits and Christian bearing in the ranks of the profession will do no harm.

It is not at all necessary that a doctor shall be rough in manner—sometimes coarse In speech—frequently drousy from—over praotice! Yet sometimes it is the case. Nor is it absolutely necessary that alter a physician has left the chamber of a delicate, sensitive sufferer, that tbe windows should be opened and the rorm ventilated, to remove the impure air resulting from his visit, occasioned by hi9—boots smelling with their contact with the filth of the road or stable. Nothing of the kind is a necessity. There is no reason why a nice, lady-like woman, modest in her demeanor, kindly in her manners, with an intelligent face, beaming with'womanly sympathy for tbe sufferer, should not attend a delicate, nervous woman or yeung lady who could unbosom herself of all her pains and ailments, as readily, or even more freely, than she would to her own mother for she would know that being an educated physician she had the requisite knowledge to understand and appreciate her condition. And she, having po«sibly gone through the same conditions herself, would therefore be the better able to give that counsel, advice and sympathy which would materially alleviate the suffering and satisfy the mind of tbe patient that ber condition was understood and thus that faith which is such an element of sucoess in the practice ol medicine would be deeply inspired.

Push on, ladies, say we do not be deterred by any peurile squeamishness or false modesty exercise aud cultivate all the gifts God has given you. You have no more right than a man has, to hide your one or many talents in a napkin and lay it away. Let your light shine and all will see and acknowledge your

lainly,"his paper will be"inoependthe best sense of the word but the idea of neutrality in Journalism doesn't belong to this age

The sentence would have read just as well, perhaps better, thus: •'An independent sheet will give both sides," etc., although we still claim that a paper, like a nation or a country, may be independent enough to l»e neutral. By neutrality we mean what Webster defines it, "the state of being unengaged in disputes or contests between others." With a strictly partisan paper, which is expected to support all measures of its party, it is impossible to be ind pendent. It assumes to be the organ of the party, and right or wrong, for all time, must advocate such measures and men as. tbe interests of the party demand.

,5,

Such a journal has no Independence. Tbe editor must sustain every measure or policy of bis partv, without questioning its correctness, and to do so be cannot be independent. There are fundamental principles that there can be no mistaking, and about wbich there oan be no difference bat questions of policy arlss about which tbe strictly partisan editor will express no opinion nntU dear Indicatlone are had from some quarter that he oonoeives has the right to give a party oasts to tbs question, and then be advocates the side indicated. On the other hand, an independent editor will ahr^i examine questions for himself, and act upon his own beat judgment. In this respect, and thus "«MKffafied," an editor may be independent enough to be neutral.**

The above is an extract from an article on "The Independent Press," in last work's Mail and, quoting the first clause the Express says:

We print this notice for tbe purpose of asking parents who have daughters just budding into womanhood, If it is not about time that some legislation be had to stop the insertion ot suoh advertisements, which are constantly appearing in the press of the country, occasionally only, it is true, in the papers of this city, but sent broadcast over the land every day by the press of tbe larger cities. Recently in New York a scoundrel by the nam of Charles A. Alburg was arrested for answering advertisemenls that come from women desiring situations as governesses and housekeepers, and in these answers making base proposals, and requesting an interview.

Withont doubt this fool was led into this fault by the obscene advertisements that are published in some New York papers in the very column in which housekeepers and governesses state their wants. Women of no character are permitted to state their desire to beoome housekeepers for "widower, or bachelor preferred," in the identical column in which honest, deserving women must appeal for situations. Knowing this, what wonder is there that the rake shall select the wrong person and make his insulting advances?

The "personal" columns which the journals in tbe cities have, in which correspondence and appointments are solicited and made, is a disgrace to journalism. In printing such a column, a paper becomes a mere go-be-tween for the debased of both sexes. It is an assignation sheet, arranging the plans of debauchery. In this capacity it is the patron of vice, the upholder of prostitution, and the prime minister of the devil in making up his long list of victims who sink into hell through tbe gate of immorality.

Who, then, is the most guilty, the man who inserts an advertisement of the class above quoted, or the publisher of the newspaper? The one goes about his crime instigated by the temptation that tbe paper deliberately and indifferently throws iu his way. Remove this, and oue avenue through w*iich the roue travels is taken from him! Legal stepps should be taken to compel offending papers to exclude them from their columns. If the press is to be made the servant of crime, tbe sooner the strong arm of the law is direoted to regulating its privileges the better.

Japanese Embassy are going

through an American round of receptions, aud are being proportionately flattered. On Wednesday last President Grant gave a grand dinner in their honor, at which about all the notables in Washington were present. The United States have pursued the proper policy with Japan, and we have no doubt that that great country will duly recognize the importance of cultivating the iriendliest relations with tbe great republic. It is a significant faot that China and Japan, two countries that have so long resisted intercourse with foreign nations, should show such marked preference for this young nation over European powers. Notwithstanding that their own government are despotic in nature, the rulers see the benefit derived from our own fiee spirit, aud they do not fear to let their great men learn how happy and prosperous we are.

last tbe great Tichborne trial has ended, and with the most disastrous results to Orton, the Australian butcher aud would-be heir. Months and months iiave been spent in reaching the decision, and the result from the evidenoe adduced will be a surprise to some and not to others of tbe London public. Tbe question which has been so long under investigation was whether the plaintiff was or was not Roger Charles Tichborne, the heir of Sir Edward Tichborne, whose estate now yields an income of about $150,000 a year. The decision is sgmlnst tbe claimant, who Is now lodged in Newgate Jail forpeijury.

When Jamee Buchanan wee rannlng for President, the campaign boys need to ecofl at blm In a ditty with tin refrain -Tea oents a day! what blessing I"

This, we believe, wss supposed to reflect with bitter saroaam upon his assertion that any working man waa well paid at tbeee rates. Now, however, a Yankee born, but British mixed doctor, by tbe name of Nichols, arises to vindicate bim, and goee still further in the discovery of the housekeeper's El Dorado, and tbe salvation of short purses in a system of living at a coat ol but ten and a halt oenta a day.

There may be a feeling that there is a little too muuh talk about economy, and what Tom, Dick and Harry knows about it, but still room should be made for this new apostle ot peas and gruel to give in his experience. He does not mince matters at all. He offers no plan for living in comparative cheapness, he deals in no nonsense about the necessities of position, nor does he yield anything to individual tastes. He first says that any man oan live on ten and a halt cents a day, and then proves how it is to be done. In making this proof be proceeds very logically. He first asserts that we lose so much every day in actual substance, and this we must restore by food. He then tells us in what the elements of nutrition consist, then in what article of food they are fou' d. He gives a list of different articles that supply no nourishment, but on tbe contrary weaken the system. Among these, of course,areto be found coffee, tea, wine, beer, etc. Having thus prepared his way he advances boldly, An average man, he says, weighs 154 pounds. Of this 116 pounds is pure water. This leaves him 88 pounds of solid matter. The blood would weigh 20 pounds, its solid matter being but 4 pounds.

Now any oue can see at a glance that there is not much supply by the solid matter needed when so small a demand is made, and that it is better for practical purposes to drink than to eat. After proving this, the inference is plain, drink plenty of pure water. Then, to ootno to that important matter of supplying the deficiencies in these thirtyeight pounds of solid matter our author orders brown bread, wheat mush, oatmeal gruel, rice, peas, a little potato, fruits and berries. Fish he advises instead of flesh, tbe latter being almost ruled out of the bill or fare altogether. Bread and fruit are however, the centres of bis system. Eight or twelve ounces a day of dry food he considers almost lavish living, *«nd he then gives a list of prices, proving that any person may live sumptuously on wheat musb or oat-meal porridge, a slice of toast and butter for breakfast, with tbe added luxury of some stewed prunes for dinner a plate of soup, a pieoe of meat, bread, vegetables and pudding, and a three-ounce supper, and finds that it oosts but ten and a halt oents.

All housekeepers know thai if the price of food and its contingent expenses were reduced, a goodly balance of tbe income would be left for other purpose, so this book has its uses as pointing to such a possibility.

Whether we will all join the author in pitying tbe man who cannot dine on an apple and bread and cheese is perhaps rather doubtiul, but we do envy hitn if he not only does it but also likes it. To sacrifice our delicacies aud high priced food upon the altar of economy is possible, but when we do it from preference for oat-ineal gruel and dried beans, the motive may be more ignoble, but it is wonderfully more pleasant.

!, SLAVERY IN CUBA. Down in Cuba theSpaniards try bard to ride two horses at once, but freedom and slavery do not go well in harness together. Professing to the world that they are in sympathy with the progress of the age, passing a law abolishing slavery in all its provinces, they still persist iu the darling barbarsm. The law is a dead letter, being "postponed" by executive officers with a cool audacity, insulting to the Cortes, but unrebnked. It now appears that the condition of the "coolie" laborers in the Island of Cuba is as little improved as that of the negroes. Orders have been issued that for tbe present no Chinese shall be allowed to change their place of residence. This, in itself, means slavery—nothing less. Free Chinamen desirous of leaving the island are not allowed to do so. This suggests a suspicion that as far as possible tbe "free" men are to be reduced to slavery. This suspicion is justified by tbe accompanying clause of the order, under wbich "Chinamen found without police documents,from whatever cause, will be sent to tbe government yards or depositories, and compelled to work." We are complacently informed that "this measure is "intended for tbe sole benefit of the planters, who will thus obtsia labor "at very low rates," and that "It will "also tend to lessen tbe number of "Chinese vsgranta." Both these asset ions are undoubtedly true, and we suspect that If we saw tbe working! of the Cuban Internal policy 'be present moment, tbe mode of "securing lalabor at low ratee" aod of "leeeening "ol tbe number of vagrants" woold setnble old-fashioned "slavery" so oloeely that the technical legal distinction would express no difference.
