Mrs. Laura DeFOrce Gordon received
1l6 votes, according to the official count,
for State Senator, from San joaquin.
Had not Gen. Evans been considered
favorable to enlaTging the political, per-
sOnal and property rights of woman, and
had she been regarded as practically
eligible, under our State Constitution,
there were hundreds of voters in that
county who would gladly have cast
their votes for her promotion, believing
that she was the most competent candi-
date i'm the field for that position. The
diversion of 116 votes, by an independent
candidate in a contest where the average
majorities range but little above that
number, should teach the parties this
important lesson, that it is not safe to tri-
fle with the rights and interests of a large
class of citizens, who possess the mower
and have the disposition to punish those
parties in continuous cOntempt of those
rights. We hope yet to see Mrs. Gordon
in the field for some important official
position, TO which she is clearly eligible.

THE MORMON TROUBLE.

Brigham Young has been indicted for
living with some one hundred women in
Utah, and the question of the legality
of pOlygamy comes before a jury OF
those who do not believe in it. What
the immediate result will be it is hard to
say, but Mormonism will as surely
crumble before advancing civilization as
have all the absolute superstitions and
heresies of the past.

EUaENE CITY, Oct. 5th, 1871.


EoIrOR NEW NORTHWEST;
1 see that Dicky Henderson has pre-
vailed upon the Journal of this place to
reprint his outrageous attack upon your
self, which first appeared in your valua-
ble paper of 4 recent date. 1 am sure I
do not know which most to admire, your
liberality in printing his boiled down
bigOtry or his impudence in expecting
you to do such n thing. If l We're you,
and he wanted to malign me, I would
let him do it at his own expense.
BravOl my dear madam! Your work is
succeeding at a gratifying rate. Do not
let anybody intimidate or scare you
from your course. God and humanity
are with you. The adversary and his
imps are powcrless. l send you nine
dollars for three copies of the NEW
NORTHWEST to be sent as follows: e
Yours for the right. +.
We do not believe that our friend
Henderson really wants TO malign us
He is afflicted with newspaper 11hObid,
and the best thing that he can do is to do
as we did when we found ourself incura-
bly, afflicted with the same complaint !:
get n printing Office and engage in the
profession.

Royal Bavarian Doclsrafiou Against Pspai
InFallIbnity-Cabinst Dennitssn or tho
Dangers OF tho Degna.
The different legislative interpretations
which were lately propoundcd TO the Bavarian
government ON the subject Of Papal infalli-
bility, its aim and tendency, have elected
from the Kings government one Of the NEST
important declarations which has been as YET
uttered with reference to This new dogma of
the Roman Catholic Church. The Bavarian
Minister 81 futais Worship and instruction
went down to the lower branch 0F The Iog's-
lative body yesterday, and reported to the
assembled deputies the formal opinion of
King Louis and bis Ministers with respect
to the claims of the Church aud the duty of
the Crown in the crisis. His speech was a
most pointed and forcible effort. The very
outline Of it's principal features, which reached
us last night by cable telegram from Munich
aud appears in the HRRAIp to-day, supplies
matter Of exciting interest. The Bavariau
Minister asserted, in the outset, the complete
sovereignty Of the State over the religious cor
porations. This authority was unwavering.
The Roman Catholic Church had changed its
principles. Infallibility is doctrine danger
Gus to the State. The Grown will protect any
aud all its subjects who cannot accept tue
infallibility Of the Pope Of Rome as an article
OF faith. The government will itself declare
such persons Catholics, and oppose ''any
encroachment by the Church upon
the principles Of the civil constitution" The
Minister said in conclusion, shat both the King
and the Council Of State favored separation
OF the religious and political branches Of the
government, and the complete independence
OF each"
Such words, spoken by one Of the most an
cient and Catholic kingdoms in Europe, on
such subject, sets forth some OF the very
many grave aud delicate issues which will be
presented by the assertion Of the infallbility
dogma in the different countries OF the earth

sermons sounded from the pulpit by excited or
bigotcd clergy men. King Louis OF

In the terrible ordeal through which the iIl.
fsted city Of Chicago has just passed there
appeared one man, at least, who, while the
fiery tide swept over the city, was calm, col.
lected and self-controlled amid the excitement
prevailing all around him. That man was
General Sheridan. As at Winchester he
arrived in time TO rally his army and infuse
spirit in his retiring soldiers to renew the
struggle which secured them glorious vic
tory, SO his presence at Chicago when the city
was wrapped in flames had the effect of inspir-
ing the almost desparing citizens with the hope
that all Was not yet lost. SelE-cOntrolled, de-
termined aud vigilant the Hero Of the Shenan
doah Valley played part in battling with the
flames in the Garden City Of the West which
will add to his renown and cause his name
to be still more warmly cherished 10 the
memory Of his countrymen. With his handfnl
OF men he accomplished wonders. Fight
ing fire with fire, destroying 10 pre-
vent greater destruction, blowing up
buildings the ruins of which were to serve a.
barricades against the fast consuming flames,
General Sheridan contested every inch Of it's
advance. As IL Heaven itself smiled on tue
resoluteness with which the brave soldier
fought for the safety Of the homes Of the nn-
fortunate Chicagoans, il let fall copious tor
rents Of rain to aid the strugglers, and thus the
confagration was stayed. But the labors OF the
soldier were not ended Thousands ~ home
less men, women and children were without
place to lay their heads and without food 10
appease the cravings Of hunger. For a Sec
ond time did Sheridan's thoughtfulness and
army experience come to the rescue. The
tents and the army rations provided through
his forethought Afforded shelter and food
for the sufferers. This temporary relief
bridged over the interim between the first effects
OF the terrible calamity and the reception Of
the first of the bounteous offerings Of the pco-
pie OF the whole nation. who have never yet
been deaf TO the appeals OF suffering OF mis-
fortn0o.

Chicago in tho Churches To-Day.

Our advertising columns this morning give
fair show of the religious activity Of the
churches and the church going people in the
midst of us. Chicago and the sorrows of Chi
cago and relief for Chicago, and themes of that
Sort are the topics which this morning fill
every preachers mind, and which are attract
ing our thousands upon thousands to the
house of God. True of New York, this is true
also of Brooklyn, of Jersey City and of almost
ell the great cities Of North America-the
Dominion OF Canada included. If we may
dare to guess, it will not be different in Eu-
rope. All over Great Britain and Ireland, all
over Germany and France. the Chicago SORROW
will figure iu the days sermon and the days
sympathy. The religion of Jesus lays hold Of
the sorrow; the priests and the preachers ex-
pound or appeal, and tho Christian people
obey. To-day will live in history as grand
memorial Of the unity of Christendom. We
are willing to make an addition to this state
ment of the case, and to say that others be-
sides Christians recognize the hand of God
and obey the call We make the addition
because We feel it to be unjust to exclude the
Jews, who in this case are quite as enthusias-
tic and quite as liberal as are their Christian
neighboIs AS this, however, is the Christian
Sabbath, not the Jewish, we have right to
put the case as we put it in the first instance.
1t is reasonable, we think, to conclude that
the sentiments expressed in all the pulpits will
be worthy of the occasion, and that the re-
wil NJ In Of& &Ln
Many things will, no doubt, be said not alto
gether kind to Chicago. Sodom and Gomorrah
and Babylon will afford matter for suitable
comparisons; and the outpouring of Divine
wrath will be justified by many sermons and
by many amens. Some of our preachers and
congregations, let US hope, will remember the
fall Of the Tower Of Sloan and the short SER
mon of the Master founded thereon :-''Think
you that ye are more righteous; tell you
nay, but except ye repent, We shall all likewise
perish We do not say that Chicago was not
wicked; but we do say that it Is not for us
to speak as if we were innocent or as if we
we're not in danger Of similar judgment. In
the hearty response which the whole Christian
world has given to the Chicago appeal, and in
the assistance which has been rendered to the
common cause by the new agents Of civiliza-
tion-the railroad, the telegraph and the news.
paper-the preachers have an interesting
theme. Let them not neglect it. Christianity
is vital force; but it is vital force outside
and in spite of the pulpit.
After all that has been said and written
already, after all that may be spoken Or read
| to-day, the best proof Of the life OF the
Churches will be their liberality. We expect
| great things in this direction. Let us not b.
| disappointed.

THE FRKSoH ELECTIONS s-The returns ol
the French elections come slowly in. A cable
despatch which We print this morning gives
"a Bonapartists, 1914 Legitimists, POI radicals,
494 moderates and SGT liberal conservatives.
The Bonapartsts, it will be seen, are the low
est on the list. The Legitimists are the next.
It is noteworthy that the Orleanists are not
mentioned. The moderates and the liberal
conservatives are, to all appearance, omnipo-
tent. On the face Of things the show is good
for the present government The great
trouble in the case is that no man can tell
exactly what moderates and liberal couserva-
tives are. They may be monarchists, they
may be imperialists, but they can hardly be
republicans. Evidently they are men in favor
of order; bat the question is whether this
large nondescrpt majority will not on the first
opportunity rush to the winning side. Ajaccio
has returned Prince Jerome, but his election
is being contested on the ground that he does
not pay taxes in Corsica. The situation is
gradually defining itself, and II In almost Ger

tinent alone, but Of the whole Christian
world. Eloquent tongues plead for Chicago
not from the pulpits Of the New World alone,
but from the historic puipits of the Old;
and London and Vienna and Berlin, not to
speak Of Bombay and Calcutta aud other
crowded centres Of population, will as gene
rously and as heartily pour their money into
the treasury as New York or Boston or Phila-
delphia. II is noble spectacle-such .
spectacle as the world has rarely looked
upon. While we grieve for Chicago we can
not help rejoicing in this grand and spon-
taneous outburst of human goodness. In
these degenerate days, when corruption sits in
high places, this universal sympathy gives us
fresh faith in our species. But noble as the
spectacle is, and proud as we are to behold II,
we would not wish to see 1t soon again. Such
sight is sufficient for one generation.
1t is not unreasonable, we think. to take It
for granted that there are many, very many.
who are seriously impressed by the lesson
which Providence has so emphatically read to
the world. 1t Is felt and admitted that
Chicago has suffered, and suffered severely;
but no thoughtful man is willing to admit that
Chicago has suffered because she is worse
than her sister cities. The fate which has
befallcn the people Of Chicago might have
befallen us-that is the general feeling. 1t is
right and proper feeling. But how long
will it lastf A few weeks, and the Chicago
lesson will be forgotten. A few months and

activities of new life, viii forget her own
sorrow. And SO the world has rolled on from
