WOMAN'S RIGHTS.-IIast evening
Alhambra Hall was crowded and Miss
Anthony was more than usually effec-
tive. She began by examining the
Common Law of England and said that
by it man may whip his wife with a
stick no bigger than his thumb. She
wondered whether Victoria wives had
been whipped with anything thicker
than a thumb. Missionaries ought to

wife rebelled against whipping and
tried to run away she might be re-

WHO'LL TO THE RESCUE.

The editor of the Tribune, since his
conversion to the gospel of Equal Rights
and his hasty backsliding therefrom,
seems to be in most deplorable state of
monOmania on the Woman Suffrage
question. Hear him as he desperately
shrieks forth this frantic cry:
Where is the leader of might and
mind around whose banner endangered
men may rally aud rear defences against
the advancing hosts? Pantaloons, to
the rescue! Swallow-tails, to arms !
"Now's the day and now's the hour"
Alas, he cometh not. PantalOons and
swallow-tails are alike powerless before
the advancing hosts of Woman's politi-
cal kingdom. Though all day and
night long our stricken brother may cry
aloud for the leader of "might and
mind' to rally the scattered and defeat
cd squadrons of mans rights, his ago
nizing appeals will be unheeded. The
leaders of "might and mind'' are all en-
listed in the cause of Universal Suffrage.
and not single talismanie name is left
around which our badly worsted oppon-
ents can rally a respectable eorporaPs
guard.

MRS. ]. B. FROST.

This woman is now lecturing at
various points in this State against
Woman Suffrage. She appears to meet
with Indifferent success. If the OPP
ponents of Woman Suffrage rely upon
her to destroy the good work per-
formed by Miss Anthony they will
be badly disappointed. Strange, isn't
it, that Mrs. Frost should be opposed to
wOman's transcending her sphere" +"
and yet practice one of the very things
speaking in public-she so strongly con-
demns in others? Why doesn't she
delegate some man to. go around and
lecture for her? Itwould be just as log
ical as to delegate a man to do her vot-
ing.
ApropOs, we append the following not
very favorable criticism of the Oregon
ian on her lecture at the court house in
this city last Saturday evening:
An intelligent auditor expresses the
opinion that there are many good argu-
ments against women suffrage which she
did not present at all, and that some ol
those she did use might have been bet.
ter put. From all we hear we are in.
clined to think her decidedly talkativC
woman but not remarkably argumenta-
tive; rather smart, but scattering, anC
upon the whole not calculated to do d
great deal of harm either to her own o.
her opponents cause.

THE MORMON INBROGLIO.

The Mormon imbroglio in Utah
brings the question of the legality of
polygamy squarely before the courts.
One of the prominent Mormons has
been found guilty Of bigamy, fined five
hundred dollars and sentenced to three
years hard labor i'm the penitentiary.
An appeal has been taken TO the higher
courts, where doubtless the action of
the inferior court will be sustained.
Nearly all the prominent personages
among the Mormons, including Brig
ham Young, have been arrested and
held to bail. Whether this course of
action will break up the abominable in
iquity so long Haunted in the faces of
the American people, and which has so
long defied the law, remains to be seen.
Chief Justice Mexican, who has juris-
diction of these cases, seems to be a fear
less, impartial administrator of the
laws, and transgressors will not likely
be able to evade the plain provisions of
the statutes in that Territory as hereto
fore. Whatever the result of the pres
ent imbroglio may be, there can be but
little doubt that polygamy as an insti-
tuition has seen its palmiest days. The
most benign result attending its over
throw will be the liberation of many an
enslaved, heart-sore woman from a
bondage worse than death. Polygamy
is an anamoly in progressing civiliza-
ton. Like every other off-shoot of
barbarous and feudal times it must pass
away, and the quicker the better.

THE WASHINGTON STANDARD. F"

The Washington Standard is doing
noble battle for woman's cause. Bro.
Murphy will never regret the noble stand
he has taken in favor Of the great mod
eTn revolution. He is more than a
match for all his mans rights cOntem-
poraries, and he comes of unscathed i'm
every encounter. We give the follow
ing from his pen:
The Tribune elevates our frank avowal
of what have been our profound convic-
tions for many Years into the dignity of
leadership, and attributes to lis the
gushing enthusiasm of new convert,
anxious before many witnesses to pro-
claim our devotion to the "new depart
ure," rs il calls woman suffrage.
Seriously, we are for woman suffrage
because il is right; because il is i'm ac-
cordance with the spirit of our institu-
tions, and because it is recognized as a
part of our fundamental law. If the
Republican party, in seeking to do a
great wrong actually did great right,
we accept the latter fact though we pay
no honor to the men who "builded wiser
than they knew"
Woman suffrage? Aye, we glory in
the opportunity to declare i'm its favor,
and we hope (forlorn hope though il bel
TO be able yet to hold out the hand of
fraternal fellowship to the old cOnserva-
tive of the Tribune and welcome him to
the ranks of the new party of progress,
which is really now, as il ever was i'm
the glorious past, the sterling old Jack
sonian Democracy.

WOMAN SUFFRAGE.

The Bulletin Of this city republishes
the views Of a correspondent of the True
Woman what a misnomer), a seven-by-
nine anti Woman Suffrage sheet, pub
lished at Baltimore, and commends them
to the attention of the Woman Suffrage
advocates of this State. 1t would seem
that this correspondent has been circu-
lating an anti-sufIrage petition:
find intelligent and respectable ladies
willing TO sign, and many say they would
not vote, even if the laws allowed them
to.
Now, we say that this correspondent.
by the ingenious wording of the Ian
guage, endeavors to convey a false inn
preston to the world of the result of her
labOrs. 1t is not said that the majority
of women were unwilling to sign, and
as that is omitted it is fair to presume
they We're willing. '.AIany" is the word
used. We submit that, under the cir
eumstances, if a majority of the in
telligent, respectable women had been
opposed TO the exercise of the voting
power it would most undoubtedly have
been so stated. So much for that. This
correspondent further says:
But the ignorant are anxious to vote.

were number of rowdies, who evidently
assembled to end the meeting in a roar
ing, laughing riot. But they were
checkmated in the very outset by her
naive remark that there must be strong
interest in the very important subject
which she had come before them to pre-
sent, as surely nothing but desire to
investigate the subject would bring out,
from comfortable firesides and pleasant
homes, such crowds of intelligent faces
on such stormy, forbidding evening.
There was much merriment over some
OF her sharpest hits, but, several times
when we feared the hilarity would grow
beyond restraint, some bomb of truth
from her plethoric store would settle
them, and quiet would he restored.

GOING ASTRAY.n

The Olympia Tribune is mortified that
many of the very susceptible people con-
verted to the new faithr in Washington
Territory are "wavering, and betray ev-
idence Of backsliding" The only nota-
bic instance of this kind is the editor of
the Tribune. While Miss Anthony was
at Olympia he was as devoted Woman
Suffragist as even Theodore Tilton; but
alas for the frailty of human nature

no sooner had the good evangelist Of
the new gospel of freedom to woman
departed than he hied him back quickly
to the husks Of mans rights political
doctrine. In his case the good seed fell
upon stony ground, and sprang quickly
up. But because it had no ''depth OF
earth, when the sun was up it was
scorched; and because it had no root it
withered away"
Alas! alas! that it should be so.

THE TAMMAEY CORRUPTION "A
NEW PARTY.

The corruptions perpetrated by the
Tammany Ring in New York city
eclipse anything of the kind in the his
tory Of our Government. Each succeed
ing day but serves to ferret out new
frauds, and the developments made have
sent thrill of indignation through ev-
cry honest heart. Most disastrous has
been the effect of these disclosures upon
the Democratic party, and the honest,
conscientious members Of that party, in
stead of longer excusing or endeavoring
to palliate the offence, now join as hear
tily as any in demanding that justice be
done. There is a reasonable prospect
that some of the principal parties con-
cerned in perpetrating these frauds will
come to grief, but in so corrupt mu-
nicipality as New York it is not easy to
anticipate.
The elections since the discovery Of
these frauds have all told one story. In
variably have they been carried by the
opponents of the Democracy. But the
people may well tremble when their trust
for honesty in Office is confined TO the
Republican party. The recent over
whelming defeats which the Democracy
have received may, indeed, in the long
run, be but the precursor Of a like late
10 the Republicans. In the event that
the Democrats, becoming discouraged
and demoralized, should conclude to put
no Presidential candidate in the field
and of this there is some probability
there will most likely be a grand combi-
nation against the Republican candi-
date of all the opposition elements. In
such a contest a Republican victory
would be by no means easy. \ new po-
litical organization, freshly sprung
from the people, would have no faults
to excuse, no cOrruptiOns to clear up, and
that is more than the Republican party
can boast of. The fact is that both po-
litical parties are corrupt to their very
foundations, and a change is badly
needed. If, however, the Democrats
conclude to run a candidate the Repub-
licans will achieve an easy victory, and
their already accumulative corruptions
in office will be doubled and quadrupled,
while the disastrous defeat will put to
rout the Democracy and forever preclude
the hope of their again rallying on an
other political battlefield.
In reference to the possibility of a
new party appearing in the Presidential
canvass of 1872 the sagacious New York
Herald lately gave an outline Of the
probable programme and platform of
such party. We have room here only
to mention a single item-the ineorpOr-
alton into the platform Of a Woman
Suffrage plank sufficiently broad and
distinct TO win the support of all who
believe therein. We mention this as
one of the signs of the times. The great
political questions arising out of the Re
belliOn are virtually settled, and there is
nothing to fight for between the Demo-
cratic and Republican parties except
the spOils of Office, while woman's de-
mand to vote is thrust contemptuously
in the background. They will not be
able much longer to keep this alien
crossing subject from test at the polls,
and once fairly before the people for
their suffrages its triumph will be sure
and swift.

mans qualifications as a voter as il does
against woman's. That there are lgnor-

tr.rv 70 the statement made by the cor
respondent of the True Woman, they
are generally the very ones who most
strenuously oppose the granting of po-
litical rights to their sex.
