FEMALE SUFFRAGE.-Like ourselves the Eng
lish people are troubled With a class of strong>
minded women who are clamoring for female
suffrage. The movement does not seem to make
any particular headway in England, and on all
sides it meets with ridiculs. An English paper
now before US, thus discusses the question:
''Once admit that equality Of the sexes), aud
every sort Of restriction becomes a pa}pable in
justice. II women may be lawyers aud physis
clans, why may they not b law, w,givers and
members Of the Cabinet? Why not have fe>
male Chancellor as keeper Of (his or) her Maj
esty's conscielce-a lady Speaker Of the House
of Commons, i've fear, however that this would
be impossible, since the business of the Speaker
is not to speak )-'or Home Secretary in pet
ticoats, though a woman has never yet been
Home Secretary, many Home Secretary has
been an 'old woman. That was an admirable sa-
tire Of the Greek who depicted Hercules with the
distaff of Omphale 10 his hand, but gave the
club and lions hide to the custody Of the fragile
woman! Surely in his day, 10 our own, there
must have been some vehement assertion Of feS
male rights and equality, and the dexierous
Athenian hit upon this delicate method Of expo,
sing its utter absurdity."
In our swn Territory, as yet, We have been
spared anything like an agitation of the question
oi"Women's rights bpt even here we regret to
see disposition manifested to draw women into
a participation in public affairs We believe il
was Napoleon who said that she was the "great-
est woman who was the mother of the most chill.
oreo.' Without accepting this as AItogethe,
correct, We think ii safe to say that the wou.r
Noo meddles least with public Affairs, and i,
most devoted 10 her domestic duties, is in ev.r,
respect the trusSt and best type Of her sex.

TELEGRAPHIc.-Heleua, u city in the
heart of the Rocky Mountains, and less than
three years old, is in telegraphic cOmmunical
tion "with all the world aud the rest of man
kind.' After all the mountain towns are
provided with telegraph facilities, we earn
estly hope that lightning will strike in the
neighborhood of Walla Walla. A town
without the telegraph nowadays is out Of
the world, and really belongs to the autide>
luyian period. We live in the hope that
our California neighbors will come to our
assistance and give us the much needed tele-
graph.

UNION LEAGUEs.-The institution known
as the Union League is not particularly
popular with our Southern brethren. A
Texas paper, speaking OF the league in that
locality, says:
"The Union League is a secret, oath bound
society, organized to secure The negro vote.
They, in fact, take from the negro his right 10
canvass public men and measures, and to vote
as be pleases. Unless he votes the Union League
ticket, his name is cast out as evil, and be put
under the band. 1t is evidently intended to
embrace Southern negroes, and some white
men, who are lost to all sense of shame and
self>respect, provided they can get Office

DIvoRCEs.-The Mormons are terribly
down on divorces, and in this respect claim to
be greatly 10 advance of their Gentle brethren.
The way they do is when they get tired of the
old wife, they cast her aside, and take new
one. This may not be equal to a divorce, but
we fail to see where it is any better. The old
Mormon elders, with their well-stocked harems,
are continually boasting of their chastity. Un-
der the same circumstances it is doubtful wheth-
er the most abandoned roae would wander into
strange pastures. The difference between the
Mormons and the Gen;iles is, that the former
have iegaized prostitution, while the latter pro-
hibit it. If this be an advantage, the Mormon
are welcome to all the advantages they claim on
that score. For us, we prefer the system oi
monogany, even if it be attended with an occa.
sional divorce.

RULED OUT.-The case of Walla Walla

DISTRICT CoURr.-The District Court will ad-
journ on tomorrow, The term has been a very
busy one About one hundred civil cases have
been heard and disposed of, and about thirty
criminal cases. Nearly seven hundred dollars
in fues and forfeitures were imposed and col,
lected. In the case Of tue Territory vs. James
McAuliff, on motion of defendant the case was
dsmissed--the Court holding that the case was
not in position for trial. The public will be
disappointed that bearing was not had in this
case. There were two or three cases before the
Court where parties had killed estrays This
practice is growing too common in parts of the
Cou nty and it is quite time it should be broken
up. 10 the cases against parties for keeping
gambling saloons, Holles were entered, on the
payment of costs by the defendants. The Court
intimated the opinion that the power given to
the City to license these gambling houses had
not been taken from the City, and that the par
ties would be entitled to keep these establish.
ments under the City licenses. and the Territory
settled the cases on this intimation. Theindict>
ments against parties for keeping billiard tables
without license from the County, were heard
and will be disposed of, the Court stated, on to-.
morrow. 1t was claimed for the defendants
that indictment was not the proper proceeding,
aud that they were protected by their City liz
censes.

TIE PENNSYLVANIA ELEcTIoN.-The Erie Pa.) J
Dispateh, paper of the extreme radical stamp,
takes the result of the Pennsylvania election
cody. Under date of October 18th, it says:
'1t seems to be definitely settled that the
State has gone democratic, but by how heavy
majority is uncertain-probably not far from six
thousand. Well, il the democrats can stand it
we can. We don't propose to kick against the
result The battle was fairly fought and fairly
won. The majority have decided against us, and
we bow, as all good citizens should, to the ma
jority. It is q satisfaction to know that the sun
will still occupy its place in the armament as
heretofore, and that this victory will not kill the
crops nor hinder the growth of the census. Be.
sides, turn about is fair play. The democrats
have been licked election after election till cir
opponents began to believe that it "was doing 90

staid at home. We can now in 3 measure sym>

4 Cry FOR PEACE-A friend has placed
in our possession several copies of the Tin,es a
weekly paper, published at Huntsville, Texas.
We have heard much of the arrogant, dictatorial
spirit of the Southern people, but if the papers
before US afford any indication as to their real
feelings, then they are the most submissive and
docile people on the face of the earth. Instead
Of excitement and contention, their one, single
desire is for peace. As illustrating this wish,
we take the following from the Times:
"We want peace-s lasting peace, we want to
see the constitution venerated and the laws up
held and enforced, aud whatever party or power
that will give US these, will command our sup,
port. We have had enough Of blood-euough
ofwoe-of strife--gipe us Psaee-a lasting peace-
based upon principles of constitutional right
and justice and we are content"
What man is there who will read an appeal
like this, aud then close his heart against this
demand for peace? Who will deny to our erring,
suffering Southern brethren, the blessings of
peace-"a lasting peace, based upon principles
of constitutional rights?" If there be any. such
they are certainly lost to all the promptings of
humanity, and must be nearly allied to the brute
crea,ion-types of that class whose God is Mol
loch, and who would open the temple Of Janus
and let "loose the dogs Of war;" that they may
again have the opportunity Of reyelling and rio.
ting in human blood. Such men in nowise
reject public sentiment, and can only be likened
to the monsters who for some mysterious purpose
are occasionally allowed to curse the world

THE GRAIN MAEKET.-The grain market con-
tinues active, with wheat nominaliy at co cents,
although the greater part Of the sales are made
at so cents cash, which may be set down as the
prevailing price. Many farmers refuse to sell
this figure, and hold for an advance. At latest
dates in San Francisco, wheat was quoted at
81 so to 81 50 per hundred-equal to 81 so
per bushel. Portland quotations range from 81
to SllO per bushel. At Salem, mill owners are
paying 90 cents per bushel, and large operators
take all that offers at this figure. At Albany
wheat is quoted at IS cents. At these figures
the market is firm, and operators look for an
other advance With short crop in California
and the Atlantic States, and demand for ships
ment to Europe, high prices must necessarily be
maintained until the harvest OF next year. The
advance has had the most favorable effect on
our own market, and on all sides we notice Il
return of confidence and hopeluiness that
speaks Of bright future.

LIQUOR LICENSES The law enacted at
the last session Of the Legislature requires ap-
plicants for liquor licenses to procure the sig
natures of majority of the adul, citizens liT-
ing in the Precinct wherein the applicant pro-
poses to sell liquor. The Board, as we are inN
formed, construe this provision TO include both
men ard women, and hold that applicants will
have to procure the signatures of the women as
well as men. Should this construction be adj
hered to, the effect will be to close up every
loon in the county, for it is quite certain that as
a rule the women will refuse to sign either for
or against liquor licenses. We have no means
Of knowing what tue intention Of the Legislature
was, but we incline to the opinion that only men
were intended to be embraced and that no one
dreamed that the women of the Territory were
to be forced into whisky agitation.

AMUSING ANEcDoTE.- Daniel Webster had
an anecdote of old Father Scarf, tue minister of
his boyhood, which is too good to be lost 1t
was customary then to wear buck-skin breeches
in cool weather. One Sunday morning in the
autum, Father Scarf brought his breeches down
from the garnet, but the wasps had taken pos
session during the summer, and were having
a nice time of it in them. BY dint of effort he
got out the intruders and dressed for meeting
But while reading the scriptures to the congre-
cation he felt a dagger from one ofthe enraged
small WASTED fellows, and jumped around the
pulpet sapping bis thighs But the more he
slapped and danced the more they stung The
people thought him crazy, but be explained the
matter by saying: Brethren, cont be alarmed;
the word Of the Lord is in my mouth. but the
devil is in my breeches!" Webster always told
it with great glee to the ministers.

Can she look down from those windows,

Will she meet us at the door!

To the morning of thy bloom;

When we 60 beyond the tomb?

Shall we hear thy pleasant voice,
Sounding Ger our spirits heart strings
Like the melody of birds!

And be bound with anguish down,
Ere tits fitted for its dwelling,
Ere tits ready for its crown.
