STATE QF 5?OMAN SUFFRAGE.
Tn the iiritish Australian colony of
Victoria, women universally assumed
the Tight to rote some fonr years agro,
having found that the law had, prob-
ably inadvertently, been so framed ap
to permit then* Ji works admirably
according to all reports.
In Sweden, chiefly through the er«
eitiooopf the late Frederika Bremer,
an indirect right of voting was, in
1802, granted to all women possessing
specified property qualifications.
By the Italian- code, a widow, or
wiff separated from her husband,, who
pays taxes, is allowed to vote through
aueh child or other lelative as she
mav designate.
In ffottTn0 wi<ta)ws and sinslc wo-
men poaifcs^l of property afe enti-
tied to vote on aH questions of taxa'
tion, otc , likely to affect its value.

In Austria, women can vote as no j

nuns, and as taxpayers. In some.
cases, j&o^ever, ttye/ vote by proxy, j
In Hungary, np to 1858, widows j
and single who were landed proprie- j
tors possessed the fight to vote. They
were deprived of it by the revolution-
nry government., and they are now pe-
titioning in large numbers for the re*.
toration of this right.
In Canadp, aa in aeveral of onr own
States, women are allowed -to vote for'
and serve as school trustees. In Pit.
cairn's Island—inhabited by mutineers
of the Bounty,—the government,
which is based on | mritken constitu.
tion, is shared on equal terms by men
and women alike.
In Monehester, England, eight
women—whose names by accident
were left on the registry—voted at
the last election. Eight others, free-
holders, voted in south-east Lancas.
hire. At Ashford, East Kent, fifteen
out of thirty-five, who were register-
ed, recorded t^eir votes. In Finsbury
the same number also went to the
polls. Jn Dublin one woman, and at
Leicester, tWee women voted.
Ladies ot title formerly occupied
seatsiin the House of L^rds, when
ihey were entitled as peers in their
own rights, or when their lords were
dead, and the heirs were in their non.
age. They also held the office of
high sheriff (which must be filled by
one possessed of an electoral qualifi-
cation,) and other similar dignities.—
It has also been stated that the late
investigations tend to show that the
Parliaments were originally founded
founded on the i&a of universal suf^
frage; the manifestation of which
was the " showing of hands."
