WOMAN's RIGHTS.

To the Editor Of the Port Tobacco Times.
DEAR Mr. EDITOR: A great deal is said about
Woman's rights, and to hear you gentlemen talk
one would think that such thing was a non
entity Now, am no Lucy Stone, but | know
that there are certain rights which belong to
woman and Of which they are too often depriv-
ed, but, If maintained with ::frmness, would soon
make you Lords of Creation acknowledge them.
I do not advocate public speaking, doctoring, or
any other occupation that brings woman in rude
contact with the world; but do say, that it is
woman's right to be the companion of man and
not his subject his assistess and not his slaue;
to share with him life's ills and woes
And with him bear each burden,
To smile on him when others frown,
Nor rob him of its guerdon;
And finally to guide him to that sweet Elysian
vale,
Where the river of bliss rolls Ger bright gems her
amber streams,
Where the spirits elect bind their resplendent
locks inwreathed with beams.
Now you gentlemen seem to think that a wo-
man, if married, should not have an idea that is
not subject to her husbands control. She should
only think as he thinks and do as he says, and
thereby making woman mere automaton- only
lytolive when he shall, Promethius like, beher in
SEPARATION. What bigots you men are! One would
think, to hear you talk, that intellect was con-
fined to- your own acise, elegant selves, when
we see every day evidences of the many gifted
females who grace our literary pages. Still you

THE Utah ExpEDrr1oN.-We have account,

The UTAH ExPED1TIoN.-We have accounts
from the rear detachment of the expedition to
Utah. They were in camp at Blue river, for
the night, one hundred and thirty-four miles
from Leavenworth. Up to that point the march
had been very pleasant weather being very
fine, and the road excellent The military force
was under the command of that veteran officer
Col. Cooke, and numbered about four hundred
priyates, mounted, and eighty wagons. The
Governor and suite have six wagons and three
carriages. It was expected that all the gentle
men composing the civil government of Utah
would 60 out with this escort but only Gov.
Cumming and Secretary Hartnett were with it.
Judge Aikers and the Postmaster at Salt Lake
City had gone ahead, and it is feared that the
others will not be able to reach the Territory
before the coming winter.
Settlements are springing up on this route,
but the improvements are not very substantial,
being only as general thing, six by nine shan
ties or sod h1ts. The soil is good, but the crops
are Indifferent.
The Utah expedition is likely to cost the Gov
eminent pretty penny, but it will be money
well spent. The mules it is estimated, cost
5000 each, and the horses $3.50. The corn
stores at Blue River cost So 10 per bushel and
the transportation to Fort Kearny and Fort La
ra1nie will increase in the same proportion.
Col. Sumner and part of his command ar
rived at Fort Leavenworth about the middle of
last week.

A BRAVE OFFIcER.-Lieut. Spencer, of the
I'd United States Infantry, land son of Col.
VIM. A. Spencer, of Annapolis, Md.,) perform
ed an act of bravery during the trying times
with the hostile Indians at Yellow Medicine, in
Minnesota, in July last, which ough to be re-
corded to his credit. He it was who was order
ed to demand the Indian who stabbed soldier.
With few men and his Interpreter he proceed
ed to the Indian camp, and upon seeing them
assume an attitude of defiance, he ordered his
men, as an evidence Of his pacific intention, to
halt, while he and his interpreter rode to the
Indians. Two hundred guns were leveled at
him in support of threats which his companion
understood too well to disregard. The lieuten-
ant called him to his side, gave him his pistol
for his reinsurance, jumped off his horse when
within speaking distance, and, unarmed and a.
lone, breasted the savage multitude and fulfilled
his duty, thus exhibiting one of the sublimest
acts of GOODNESS and bravery on the records Of
the American army.

ToBAcco.-In consequence of the disturbed
condition of monetary affairs. there appears to be
but little disposition among shippers to operate to
any extent except at prices much below the views
of the holders. The stock of Maryland Tobacco,
though not by no means large, is greater than it
has been for one or two seasons past. The sales
Of the week have been small, and prices lower
than were prevalent fortnight ago, though not
much under the rates paid last week. We alter
our EQUATIONS for the lower qualities, the finer
sorts selling within our range viz:
Maryland Brown Leaf, as nquallty, So 80; a SO
inferior short seconds. STA $3.50; brown leafy, SO
aSl0; and extra at S1la$l4. Parcels of Maryland
ground leaf, of the new crop, are shortly expect
ed. The market has been cleared of Ohio To-
bacco, the sales of the week comprising about so
hhds., but at prices considerably lower than here
tofore as parcels which formerly were worth SIG
ST. and Sl0, will not now bring over S12.
The inspections of the week are l9l hhds.
Maryland, 3 hhds. Ohio, and hhds Kentucky

The ATLANTIC CABLE.-The London Obse,c-
en- says: 'tIt is now understood to be determin-
ed definitely not to renew the attempt to lay
the Atlantic cable this year. The cable is to be
forthwith unshipped from the holds Of the Aga
memnon and Niagara, and slowed away for
the winter in the Government dockyard at Key
ham. There it is to be well tarred and at
tended to, to prevent it from rtlstiny. In the
meantime about one thousand miles more Of rl1e
cable are to be manufactured, which with the
quantity on hand, will make three thousand
miles for the experiment next year. The cost
of the unsuccessful experiment is estimated at
about 100000"

:. Bid her most brilliant thoughts to flow,
When he most p,lissant lord erdains it so.

I often hear husbands say that the wife was born
no patience with such men; they only excite
our rdicu1e and pity, for they are declared Of
earth's greatest treasure-a true woman's love.
Now l know that for happiness in the married
state, there should be no commanding, or forced
obedience, between husband and wife. They
should, as I said before, be companions and
friends; not master and slave-for fear and love
are directly opposed to each other. Where the
one exists the other cannot be.
Now, my dear Mr.. Editor, / am weary of the
subject, and expect that you are also. I was
prompted to write on it by my love Of justice,
which see SO often violated when woman is the
subject. I have only to beg, in conclusion, that
you will give this place in the columns Of your
useful paper, that is if you have room for what
l am certain from your being one of that con-
ceited race Of bipeds call men) you will stigma
tie nonsence. But assure you that I do not
regard it as such by any means, for think it
time that you men should be brought to your
senses-I mean such as have any; and, finally,
[ think that "obey" should be obliterated from
the marriage ceremony; and that ladies should
wear hoops, Or anything else that they please,
without having such aceighty matters subjected
to the supervision Of you lin your own eyes,
nonpareils.
Now, Mr.. Editor, you will please put the name
as you find it written on the first page-forI
am not afraid to express my opinion if am
single, or, perhaps I should say, because am.
Respectfully, yours,

DEATH OF GEORGE WASHINGTON PARkE
CUsTIs OF ARLINGToN.-The venerable Mr.
Custis, of Arlington, died at his residence in Al
exandria county, Va, on Saturday last. The
whole country knew him, and his patriotism
will long be remembered. Closely allied to the
Washington family, fond of calling himself the
child of Mount Vernon, he was never so much
in his element as when he was talking or writ
ing of the great chief and the men and times of
the revolution. He had been fondled on the
knee of the Father Of his Country, and received
from him the kindness of parent. He repaid
that care and affection with filial devotion, and
to the day of his death all the recoIlections of
his life centred around or radiated from the time
he was one of Washington's family. He lived
to good old age, ,tseventy-seven years,) retain
ing his mental faculties to the last.

THE DEATH OF HON. LOUIS McLANE.

THE DEATH OF HON. LOUIS McLANE
The Hon. Louis McLane died on Thursday
at his residence in Baltimore city, in tie I'D
year of his age. He was the son of Allan Nc
Lane, distinguished officer in the revolutiona-
ny war, and was born in the village of Smyrna,
Kent county, Delaware, on the 2Sth of May,
1884 The Baltimore Sun says:
In the year 1897, being then only fourteen
years age, he served with great credit as mid
Ishipman on board the frigate Philadelphia, then
on her first cruise, and under the command of
Stephen Decatur. In 1901, yielding to the de-
sire Of his family, he left the navy and having
completed his education at Newark College, in
his native State, he began the study of law, in
1904, under the instruction Of James A. Bay
ard, of Delaware. He was admitted to the bar
in 1907, and rapidly attained high place in
his profession. In the of 1912 he was volun-
teer in company commanded by Caesar A.
Rodney, who had been the Attorney General of
the United States under Mr.. Jefferson, and
marched with that company to the relief of
Baltimore when it was threatened by the Brit
ish
The great capacities of Mr.. McLane now be-
gan to attract public attention in another direc-
ton, and in 1916 he was elected to the House of
Representatives from Delaware, and so largely
had he won the confidence of his constituents,
that he remained member Of that body until
1927, when he was chosen by the Legislature
a Senator Of the United States. In May, 1929,
he was appointed by President jackson to be the
minister of the United States to Great Britain
where he remained two years, and on his return
he was called by the same President to take a
place in the Cabinet as Secretary of the Treasury.
He served in this place until 1888, when he be-
came Secretary of State, and in June, 1884, he
retired from political life.
In 1887, when the financial condition of the
country required his services among ourselves,
Mr.. McLane was prevailed upon to accept the
presidency of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
Company, and removing to this State he dis
charged the duties of this laborious office until
1847. In this time he was requested by Presi-
dent Polk to occupy, during the tendency Of
the Oregon negotiations, the mission to England,
and this duty being accomplished, he again re-
turned to Maryland. In 1850 he was solicited
and prevailed upon by his fellow-citizens in
Cecil county, in this State, where he resided, to
serve as their representative in the convention
called to reform the constitution Of Maryland.
After performing this service, he finally retired
from public life.
Mr.. McLane was a chief actor in all the great
political events which marked the first half of
this century. He was the companion fellow
laborer and friend of those who have, with him,
won the remembrance of our countrymen as the
of America.

The Cumberland Telegraph says that the pres
ent monetary revulsion is more seriously felt in
Allegany county than that Of 1887. In addition
to the failure Of the Mineral Bank, and the
Cumberland Coal and Iron Company, many ex-
tensive manufacturing establishments have sud-
denly stopped, throwing hundreds of persons
out Of employ.

Advices from Kansas, says "Ion," show that
the Republicans have carried all the elections
for that Territory. They have got the Legisla-
ture, as we'll as the delegate to Congress. This
result is attributed to the detection Of the South
Carolina and Georgia voters, who were actuated
partly by pique against Gov. Walker, and in
part by opposition to the Democratic nominee
for Congress, Gov. Ransom. The free State
men, so far, seem to have everything in their
own way. AS soon as their new Legislature
meets they will, it is said repeal all the laws of
the Territory, and institute a code of their own.
What effect the election is to have upon the
acts of the constitutional convention remains to
be seen. The convention is to reassemble very
soon, and it is supposed that they will conform
their action to whatever may appear to be the
popular will. But can they take the election
as fair test Of the will Of majority of thepeo-
pie of the Territory?
Later.-It appears that the Republicans were
too fast in claiming majority in the Territorial
Legislature of Kansas. A small majority is
claimed by the Democrats, and the Republican
candidate for Congress has so small a majority
that it is evident had the Democrats been united
upon Gen. Ransom he would have been chosen.

ever known, and yet Baltimore is full of stout,

something to do
