ONLY WANTED TO SCARE EN-.

The "fghting man" of the Herald,
recently from 'Pap Prices" bushwhack
ers in Missouri, is funny fellow. Just
before the election he announced his
solemn, unalterable intention, in case
the Republicans tried to poll six hund-
red majority in Multnomah, to inaugu-
rate war, promising to shed every drop
of blood or whisky in his fellow Demo-
Gratis veins. Well, the Republicans
polled over nine hundred majority, and
Bro. Ike now declares that he only
wanted to scare 'em, so they would shell
out. He doesn't tell how much he
scared 'em into shelling out to him,
however. Certain il is, though, that
Bro. Ike has smoothed his wrinkled
front, and that his stern alarums of war
have been changed to piping tunes of
peace

THE ELECTION.

We'll. the election is over. The dear
,aoDle,,-tbat means the men nova
days-think they have vindicated thelr
freedom and manhood in casting oai-
LOT aud sending representative of their
cboosine TO Congress, never once think
ing of the fact that there are thousands
Of tax-paying, law-abiding women in
This state who would like to vindicate
t1eir freedom and wOmanhoOd, and have
a voice In saying who shall represent
them. But, passing this by, let us see
what are the results Of the campaign.
The Republicans have achieved a
sweeping victory over their demoralized
opponents. MultnOmah county gives
near a thousand majority for Wilson,
and Republican gains are reported al
over the State. Wilson's majority il
the State will not be far from his ma
jOrity in Multnomah. But the mos
surprising and unexpected result is tn,
election Of a Republican Legislature
In this we recognize a singing rebuk'
OF the partisan course pursued by tn,
last Democratic Legislature. Let Re
publicans profit 10y the example, re
membering that one of the chief causes
of the utter nOut of the Democracy wa
their Identification with the pet schemes
OF Governor Grover. Let no man or Sc
Of men dictate your policy, Repuhii
cans. If you do, this victory will avai
you little. And, above all, let justice b'
done both to the railroad capitalist il
our midst and to the people.

SHOULD BE ENCOURAGED.

Some parties in this city are making
arrangements for lecture to be deliv-
cred soon by Mr.. Stephen Maybell,
whose name is familiar to our readers.
Mr.. Maybell is a young man, entirely
self made, possessed Of great poetic tai
ent, and only needing cultivation, time
and experience to make him n poet OF
the first rank. His lecture will be upon
Poetry and those who attend will ell
joy a rich treat. During the course of
the evening he will recite several poems
In illustration Of his subject. He should
be encouraged, and we hope he will be
greeted by full house whenever he lee

the perturbed old candidate a polite
good afternoon, we gained the open air,
caught decent breath, and meditated
long upon the difference between imag-
ination and reality, between preaching
and practice, and between a man rs a
theorist and a man as political dema-
gogue.
Dear readers, we cannot tell you how
our interview dwarfed the humanita-
rian, progressionist, philanthropist and
philosopher of imagination into an in
finitessimal political pigmy of reality
one who is ready to immediate his
daughter upon the altar of priesthood to
curry favor with the Catholic Preslden-
tial vote; who is willing to disintegrate
the great Republican party, whose most
trucking sycophant he has been, that
he may thereby enhance his own self
aggrandizement; who Is ready to lie
down in the political bed of Southern
Democrats and sleep In the traitorous
bosom Of the arch-rebel, jeff Davis, that
he may thereby mount the Presidential
throne in his dotage; who is ever ready
to espouse principle Of justice while il
is yet afar off, and yet ever ready TO dis
card it when it becomes live and tan
gible issue.
In our heart of hearts we had looked
to Horace Greeley for better things; bu
alas! alas. when you sift out and sim
mer down the little of genuine goodness
that exists in the bosom of the creates
man, it too often vanishes in the sordiC
smoke of selfishness, and leaves nothing
but q reeklng odor OF almighty dollar
and villainous self-aggrandizement
while the ashes of your disappolnte,
good opinion scatter themselves TO tn
four winds Of Heaven, TO be garnered
mayhap, in some younger and pure
specimen of humanity, whose life ha
not been encrusted with the craft of po
litical decentralization.

a COMPARISON.

The Owyhee Aualonche, a little thumb
paper published in Idaho, wants to be
noticed, and, as usual in such cases, the
editor makes an attack upon women
who have the ability and disposition to
rise above mere kitchen drudgery, and
sends his paper to us. Mrs. Carrie f.
Young, the talented lecturer and able
editor Of the California Pacific Journal
Of Health, is the object of his attack.
AS she is abundantly able to take care
Of herself we do not propose to take VI
the cudgel in her defense. We would
remind the AU0l0nche editor, however
that in point Of ability Mrs. Young l.
far his superior, and that, subjected t,
that test, he and not she is the one wh'
ought 10 retire from public life. w,
imagine that such comparisons rs thi
are slightly unpleasant to some of on
editorial brethren.

OOHOO0 VALLEY.
OCHoco VALLEY, Wasco Co, Ogn.,
Nav 20, 1872.

OCHOCo VALLEY, Wasco Co., Ogn.,
May 20, 1872.
EDITOR NEW NORTHWEST:
Don't you want an item or so from
Ochoco? Well, then, OehOco is a small
settlement in the bottoms Of the Ochoco
and Crooked rivers. Ochoco goes dry in
the summer, and Crooked river gets so
low that it Is only midsides to pair OF
shoes, and a herd of cattle in crossing
will nearly dam it up and stop the wa
ter. But then we must call them rirerS.
1t wouldn't be high-sounding enough to
say "OchocO and Crooked creeks or
"swales."
This country has been settled only
three winters, yet it already numbers
some three hundred settlers, who are
mostly engaged in stock raising. We
have two cities, named respectively
"Bummerville" and 'SThe Dogry." The
first is situated On the banks of the
Crooked river, and consists of quite a
number of dwellings-a store, black
smith shop and the inevitable grOg
shop. 1t is a very pretty place, and
does quite an active business. The
other, "The Dogry," is an exeresence OH
the Ochoco, and consists of one build
ing, which is dwelling house, store
house, whisky shop and postoffice COM
bined. Oh! for the good time coming
when such nuisances will be swept
awayl 1t is bad enough that such
curses should exist in cities and older
communities, where les influence Is in
some measure checked by society, by
the sabbath School and the Good Tenn
plars Lodge. But to follow the hardy
pioneer into the wilderness,4O beset and
tempt him as he struggles for living
for himself and family, in country
that taxes every ones energy, where
there are no churches and where society
is vet unsettled, is-well, every D,OthcJ
knows what il is who sees her child
brought under its accursed influence.
Your paper has quite number oi
friends here. Your subscribers have tC
loan their papers as long as they can bt
read If you would appoint an agent
here think you would get quite lis
of subscribers. We are laboring undel
quite disadvantage in being situated
so far away from any place. If we sub
scribe for paper we have to wait unit
some one is passing to send the money Il
the Dalles, to be placed in the postoffic'
there.
We have one woman here who won
let her step-daughter read your pape
, because you "talk so plain on the rela
tiOns between the sexes" She read
eUcry one she gets-a friend sends then
to her daughter-and then burns them
"Girls sometimes think too much
Perhaps she thinks the girls might hes
itate about marrying "for n support

womanly" to help themselves to gai
I independence and home Of their Oc
through positions now occupied by mel

THE NEW YORK CONVENTIONS

We yield space this week to extended
accounts OF the New York Conventions.
1t may be proper to state, for the infor-
nation of some, that there were three
Woman Suffrage Conventions there
convened at the same time. 1t appears
that the Lucy Stone Blackwell and
AIRS. Livermore party met at AppollO
Hall on the 9Th and transacted its busi-
ness. \ Convention in which Miss An
thony, Mrs. Stanton, Mrs. Gage and
Mrs. Isabella B. Hooker were the prom
inent leaders met on the same day at
Steinway Hall. By-the-by, this is the
Convention to which Oregon's Delegate
was sent. On the 10th Mrs. Woodruff,
seeing that the Steinway Convention
would not indSrse her visionary schemes
and whims, adjourned to Apollo Hall.
A humorous account Of this meeting
viii be found in this issue from the New
York Herald.
With this much said in explanation
Of the different reports, we suppose all
will understand them.

Mrs. DUNIwAY.-The New York cor
respondent of the Prairie EiyDler writes
as follows of the appearance of this lady
at the woman suffrage convention lately
in session:
"a little breeze of interest was added
TO the meeting of to-day, by the appear
anee OF Mrs. Duniway, editor Of the
NEW NORTHWEST, published i'm Ore
gon. She had arrived only two hours
previous to coming on the stage and
making her Introductory speech, which,
a1tera journey Oftwelve days and nights,
formed striking illustration of wom-
AMY endurance. She said she had left
her home on three hours notice, threw
down her pen, kissed her husband and
babies, packed her knapsaek, and
started. She spoke with decided earn
esthessi and seemed unhackneyed.r

Vention,

To the friends OF Woman Suffrage re-
siding in the States and Territories of
the Pacific Slope:
Impressed with the very great import
anee Of securing the ballot for Woman,
as an efficient instrumentality in her
hands to improve her industrial and ed
ucational, moral and social condition,

State the benefit of her harmonizing,
refining and purifying presence and in

and cOrrupting tendencies Of party
politics may be arrested, and legislative,
judicial and executive integrity, estab-
lished; and feeling that the time has
arrived, and the cause attained such n
growth and Importance, that the friends
of progress in this western section OF the
Federal Republic should meet for con-
sultation, mutual understanding and
organization, and for the adoption of a
plan for future operations, that there
may be oneness Of purpose and har-
mony of action throughout the entire
coast, with a view Of securing such local

TILToN US. WOoDHULL-The New
York World relates the curious story
which We print below:
1t appears that Mr.. Tilton has proved
gay deceiver toward one of Mr.. Gree
leyis rivals, and that the deserted fair
one, who, according to Mr.. Tilton's BIZ
Ography of her, is in constant commu-
nicatiOn with DemostheneS, is indig-
nant at the treatment she has received.
We all know that Demosthenes used to
insist on "Action, action, action,n and
it may be that he was only putting his
theory into practice when, through the
medium of Mrs. Woodruff, he "bon-
neted" the tickle T'ilton. Explain it
how We may, here is the Worlds story:
a painful rumor is current in our
neighboring city of Brooklyn to the eff
feet that personal difficulty of grave
character has arisen between the spirit
Of Demosthenes and the accomplished
editor OF the Golden Age. 1t appears
that upon the nomination to the Presi-
dency of Mrs. Victoria G. Woodruff by
the Convention for giving everybody
everything, Demosthenes called upon
Mr.. Tilton to fulfill the expectations of
the spirit world aroused by his interest
ing biography of that gifted woman and
come OUT in her support. To this MIR.
| TiltOn replied that he had already "gone
in" for Mr.. Greeley, in sign whereof he
invited the attention Of the illustrious or
atOr to bran new white hat which he was
at that moment wearing. The enraged
| Greek, without another work, raised the
right hand which had essayed to shake
the MACEDONIAN throne, and Knocked
| the white hat over his eyes. A high
ioint commission consisting of Stephen
PaarI Andrews, Brigham Young and
the ghost Of Fanny Wright, Is now sit
,ing on the case, which it is hoped, may
he Settled without blOodshed.

ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS

Minerva, Nehalem: You can get
photographs enlarged in Portland.
Price, - for common and IS for life
size. There are no curling irons that
will curl the hair without heating it.
If you want to curl your little girls hair
without injuring it we would advise
you to do it up on flannel rags, which
you will find to be a very cheap and sat
isfactory mode. y great many expe-
dients are used by fashionable ladies to
curl the hair, but all of them are more
or less injurious. Think that in club
bing Madam Demorest does not furnish
the picture. Picture frames, oval shape,
6xs cost - 90; 10x12, 81 25. Should
judge that the best mode of delivery
would be by schooner. \ volume of
Mrs. Browning's Poems will cost you
from 81 80 to 81 80, according to size
and finish. You can get four gold quar-
ters for 81 25. Little glass crosses the
color of gold Will cost you 12l cents
apiece. When you have anything to
sell worth the buying it always pays to
advertise. The advertisement would
cost about SO 90. You can get pair of
parain marble vases or one bohemian
glass vase for 81 90.
"Gipsy:" You seem very facetious
about the matter Of identity, and say
your name is not yet changed-thOugh
we dare say you do expect to change
it one of these days. But you must re-
member that q man can sign a lady's
name to anything he chooses and
send it to us, and, when warned by
'Sylvia," we thought that probably
such might be the case in the present
instance.
Mrs. NJ. +. C., Lafayette: Asan agent
you are emphatically a success. In
fact you are a Irregular trump" in that
line. Perhaps that last expression is
more appreciative than digniiied, but
then it tells just what we mean. Ev-
cry thing satisfactory. The laborer is
worthy of her hire. Will send re-
ceipts.
"Ochoco:" Write again and often.
You will see, by referring to our list OF
agents, that we have appointed one in
your vicinity.

COKGRATULATORY.
FOREST Grove. June 3. 1s7

FOREST GROVE, June 3, 1872.
EDITOR NEW NORTHWEST:
have been cOngratulating myself at
intervals for the past two days that
am and long have been a Woman Suf-
fragist, for, being ever desirous of Civ
ing good and sufficient reason for the
"faith that is within me-" l do not know
what l should now be able to hang even
so much as the shadow Of a doubt upon
were an opponent of the cause. The
"WOOdhull Departure" has taken one
of the strongest weapons-indeed the
only formidable one-from the better
and more enlightened class of persons
who oppose the movement. There is, ii
is true, a class, headed and spurred on
by such enlightened, refined and gentle
manly(?) leaders as the Rev. Caldwell,
who know nothing whatever of the
movement-its inception, objects or
aims-and are, for this very reason, its
noisiest, most aggressive opposers. They
will still continue to prate "Free Love" ,"
quote Victoria Woodruff and vote for
General Jackson so long as they live-it
being alike impossible to make them
comprehend the social and political
death of the former and to convince
them that the latter was long since
gathered to his fathers" Let us pos
sess our souls in patience while they
descant upon and distort the views OF
Elizabeth Cady Stanton, imagining hel
to be the widow of the late Secretary oi
War, smile placidly when they de-
clare that Victoria c. Woodruff is the
choice of the vast army of Woman Suf
fragists for President of the United

States, and look serenely incredulous
when they attempt to prove the same
by their own oft repeated assertions-for
we know full well that such argu-
ments(?) cannot stay the progress of the
movement and will not have a feathers
weight with those who are possessed of
sufficient intelligence to form and de-
fend their own opinions.
Friends Of the cause! tried friends and
true! let me congratulate youl Already
we catch the Aant giimmer of the "star
in the East" What is left for us but to
follow it with thankful hearts, feeling
sure that in due time will come the per-
feet day? c.

AS TO ENDORSEMENT.

The Bulletin claims that the election
is an Endorsement of Ben Holiday. II
did not dare to claim that Republican
victory would be such an Endorsement
before the election. We venture to say
that if Mr.. Holladay were to go before
the people for Endorsement without any
political alliance to bolster him up, he
would be defeated by ten thousand ma

TILTON, WO0DHULL AND GREE
LEY.

If our readers want a few hours en-
joyment of genuine fun they cannot do
better than read Theodore Tilton's
rhapsodies over the nomination of the
Chappaqua sage-hen. The New York
Herald says that it is understood that
the spirit of DemOsthenes and the editor
OF the Golden Age have had a row.
How true this may be deponent saith
not; but from the Greeley dust the lat
ter is trying to raise in his frantic eff
forts TO divert the public mind from his
attack upon the life Of Mrs. Woodruff,
we judge that he is determined to craw-
fish out Of that wonderful autobiog-
raphy.
