A QUESTION OF vERAOITY.

As a general rule zone good turn
deserves another and when the Ore
go'aian few days ago took occasion
to allude to the STATE RIGHTS DEMO
GRAFT as a paper of the highest re-
spectability-truthful, dignified, cour-
teous, and all that-we hoped to be
able to always puff our cosmopolitan
neighbor in the same way-in fact we
expected to immediately propose to
associate the two papers into "mu.
tual admiration society," but we find
that journal SO persistently departing
from all of our preconceived ideas of
" fairness and respectability" that we
have abandoned the hore of high
toned coalition with it and have con-
cluded to let it remain in the common
gutter of debauched journalism.
While it is expected that that pa
per, in the interests of its own party
viii resort to all means, however
questionable in propriety or fairness,
to secure n partizan advantage, yet we
were hardly prepared to see it fulmi-
nate so glaring, palpable and inexcus-
able falsehood as that in its issue of
last Monday, wherein it states that
Gov. Grover, from 1862, never
came squarely to the front and identi.
fed himself with the Democratic
party or participated in its councils
till 1870.
Now we personally know nothing
of Oregon politics previous to 1866,
but we recollect that during the cam
paign of that year Gov. Grover was
an active champion of the Democrat
ic cause, and made speeches in vari-
Gus places during the progress of the
struggle. The Oregoaian can certain
ly not have forgotten Gov. Growers
speeches before the Oro Fino Demo
cratic Club in Portland, or his con-
test with Dave Logan at Yamhill
town on the eve of the election of 1866,
nor how he met other Radical speak
ers during that campaign. The Ore
goniaaa surely has not forgotten that
Grover was Chairman of the Demo
cratic State Central Committee con-
tinuously during the past six or eight
years, and by virtue of that position
has been at the head Of the Democrat
ic councils during the whole of that
time. But it is difficult to shame a
journal into truth which would so
glaringly misrepresent facts that are
of such public record as those of
which we speak, hence to further dis
cuss the subject would be to dignity
falsehoods which are known as such
throughout our whole commonwealth.

We have yet to receive the first
Radical paper that opposes the i'm

laboring men to 80 cents per day.
In place Of opposing the infamous
pig-tail enterprise, the ones that have
anything at all to say about it, at

The Ptttadelpltia Press, q leading
Radical organ, over a year ago came
out fairly and squarely in favor of it,
and says, t'let the Cinnamon come |:
they hre needed" And in almost
every county in this State, Radical
papers are trying to induce their
readers TO believe that there is moth
ing tofear from these Pagan pig-tails.
They have covered up their actions.
and now they. have almost million
of these rat-eating, 30 cents per day
laborers, imported into this country

many frugal, hard-fsted white toilers.
Then Congress refused to prohibit
the outrageous traffic, and the work
Of coaxing coolies from China, and
unloading them in the factories,

1t is you laboring men Of the West
who have to suffer. if this doctrine
and work Of Radicalisin is allowed to
go on. Your wages will be reduced
TO that which the rat-eating, pig
tailed Cinnamon are willing to work
for-30 cents per day. That will be
the amount you will get, or there

Thomas McGfiin was recantly
hanged in Greenville, Va, for the
murder of Constable Drummond, of
Brunswick county. The correspond
cnt of the New York Herald gives
the following particulars of the clos
ing scenes in the ghastly tragedy:
The condemned man made q short
address to the crowd, and at the con-
clusion of the speech, the Sheriff,
priest and deputies took last fare
well, and soon after the moose was
placed over the criminals head aud
frightened. The black cap was then
drawn over the features, and at the
same instant it began to rain. All
those remaining on the platform had
stepped clear OF the drop; the Sheriff
gave signal the heavy drop swung
back, and the rope snapped like q
thread, McGiffin falling to the ground
with force that was terrific, the con-
cussion being distinctly heard through
the crowd, which stood an instant
transfixed with horror. Then, with
awe-stricken faces, large numbers
turned and went away to shut out the
repetition that might follow of this
horrible scene. Four men lifted the
pinioned, halfstrangled criminal and
carried him back, placing him in an
erect position on the drop. He coolly
requested the Sheriff to loosen the
moose quick if the rope broke again.
The cap was still over his face, the
loosened moose and broken rope still
dangling around his clothes covered
with the earth from which he had
been taken, hideous effigy. The
same rope was tied where it broke,
making the fall about one foot shorter,
and again, at twenty-five minutes past
twelve, P. NJ, the drop fell. The
crowd mostly turned their heads as
the executioner withdrew the bolt, but
looked around rapidly to see if the
criminal was suspended. This time
the tragic act was success. The
body of McGiffin swung in the air,
the fall having been about FIVE feet.
The moose was not properly adjusted,
and respiration continued some eight
minutes, during which there were
conyulsive movements of the lower
limbs. In twelve minutes pulsation
had ceased, and after hanging twenty
five minutes life was declared extinct,
and the body was cut down, placed in
a coffin, and buried near the scaffold.
The neck had not been broken, but
guilty or innocent, the soul of McGif
fin was in eternity.

The request was made politely, and
Stanley, equally polite, opened the
door for the dog. Hope once more
entered my heart. My dreaful sittia-
ton would soon be known, and help
might reach me.
A half hour passed. "Neptune"

a cold and stiff corpse. My spirit
will have gone to the eternal world TO

And again the same wild, fiendish

Herbert Stanley stood Tor moment

The next moment he found himself
rudely assailed by half dozen men.
The uplitted knife was knocked
out of his hand; strong rope
was thrown dexterosly over his
arms and shoulders and drawn tightly
around him, and in spite of his des-
perate struggles to free himself, he
was captured. Ny hour of peril was

SUFFRAGE.
MISS cATHARISE Z. BEEcHER WRITES
ANOTHER LETTER N OPPOSITION.
EaAor Hartford Current:


Editor Hartford Couront.
SIR:-Pernit me 70 present few
considerations In opposition to the
claims urged or our legislature IN IA
vor of woman suffrage.
Neither man nor woman has Tigl q
to anything contrary to the best good
OF society. If this requires division
of responsibilities, so that woman take
charge of the family state. and man Of
all outside affairs, each aiding the 9TH
er by counsel and sympathy, then
woman should adhere to this division,
and she has no right to change it
The simple question is, which is best
for society?
The Interpretation of our constitH-
ton and its amendments all turn ON
the meaning of the terms people and
citizens. In their widest sense these
terms include not only men, but
women and children. In the use OF
the terms in our constitution they do
not have this broad meaning, for the
children are shut o ut, and ali men IN
der twenty-one, and several other
classes OF men. They include only
those people and those citizens yho
have certain qualifications whichsIie
best good of society requires, aasss,
every community is to be the judge IS
to who shall not vote, by settling
what is best for all concerned. 1.-THE
best good of society requires women
to be lawmakers, judges and jurors.
woman has right TO these Offices; Ii
it does not, she has no right to them.
1t is probable that the best good of
society would be promoted by having
women who pay taxes also vote, for.
this would increase the proportion Of
intelligent voters, and also take away
the most plausible argument for uni
versal suffrage. All will concede
that laws should be framed so that
woman's usefulness and happiness
shall be treated as equal in value to
mans. But this does not settle the
question as to whether the laws be
made by fathers, husbands and broth
ers, or by women. The majority OF
women believe that this is for their
good that the responsibility of civil
government is borne by men and not
by. women, and that it will be an act
of injustice and oppression to oblige
conscientious women to take these re:
sponsibilites, as they must do if uni
yersal woman suffrage is established
by law.
In behalf of the multitudes of wos
men whose voices are not heard, en-
treat that no such duties shall be
forced on us until we are better pre-.
pared to discharge all that belongs to
woman as the prime minister of the
of the family state, and the chief eau-
Gator OF our race.

A FREAK OF NATURE. A gentleman
residing at Cardington, Ohio. de-
scribes o freak of nature which is
exciting the wonderment of that city.
He says:
We have a monstrosity short dis
tance from here that will beat the
world. Last Tuesday, lady gave
birth to q doubie-headed child. It
is of the natural length of q child,
with perfect head on each end. On
ore side there are two perfect legs
with feet; ON this side, only, is the
gender apparent-that of q female.
On the other side there is one leg,
which is as large as both the others,
and appears to be double; the foot
displays eight toes. The creature is
healthy. It takes its food well in
both mouths, and digests well.-
There is but one set of bowels, and
it had but one navel string One end
