Single or unmarried women have all the civil rights of men ;
they may therefore enter into contracts or engagements ;
sue and be sued ;
be trustees or guardians ,
they may be witnesses ,
and may for that purpose attest all papers ;
but they are generally ,
not possessed of any political power ;
hence they cannot be elected representatives of the people ,

sheriff ,
constable ,
or any other office ,
unless expressly authorized by law ;
instances occur of their being appointed postmistresses nor can they vote at any election .
