s fast as the venue is changed. One must rise very early in the morning to get the start of this active apostle of the sisterhood. Rochester _Democrat and Chronicle_: If Miss Anthony has converted every man in Monroe County to her views of the Suffrage question, as the District Attorney intimates in his recent efforts to have her case adjourned, it is pretty good evidence--unless every man in Monroe County is a fool--that the lady has done no wrong. "Her case," remarks the Auburn _Bulletin_, "will probably be carried over to another term, and all she has to do is to canvass and convert another county. A shrewd woman that! Again we say, she ought to vote." The Syracuse _Standard_ said: Miss S. B. Anthony is sharp enough for a successful politician. She is under arrest in Rochester for voting illegally, and she is conducting her case in a way that beats even lawyers. She stumped the county of Monroe and spoke in every school district so powerfully that she has actually converted nearly the entire male population to the Woman Suffrage doctrine. The sentiment is so universal that the United States District Attorney dare not trust his case to a jury drawn from that county, and has changed the venue to Ontario County. Now Miss Anthony proposes to stump Ontario immediately, and has procured the services of Mrs. Matilda Joslyn Gage, of Fayetteville, to assist her. By the time the case comes on Miss Anthony will have Ontario County converted to her doctrines. The Rochester _Union and Advertiser_ quoted the above and commented as follows: We give in another column to-day, from a legal friend, a communication which shows very clearly that Miss Anthony is engaged in a work that will be likely to bring her to grief. It is nothing more nor less than an attempt to corrupt the source of that justice, under law, which flows from trial by jury. Miss Anthony's case has passed from its gayest to its gravest character. United States Courts are not stages for the enactment of comedy or farce, and the promptness and decision of their judges in sentencing to prison culprits convicted before them shows that they are no respecters of persons. SUSAN B. ANTHONY AS A CORRUPTIONIST. _To the Editors of the Union and Advertiser:_ Gentlemen--I saw this morning with equal surprise and regret in the _Democrat and Chronicle_ the following article: "We understand that Miss Susan B. Anthony, in company with Mrs. Matilda Joslyn Gage, intends
