for hundreds Of miles. was hurrying
to the dining room, bent upon securing
a hasty meal, when some one spoke nv
name. Looking around Mrs. Governor
Woods, of Utah, herself OH her home
ward way from New York, with her
face wreathed in smiles of welcome and
recognition, grasped my hand with a
look of inquiry and wonder. To thus
meet an old friend, an Oregonian, after
the lapse of years, in a spot so remote
from the scenes of our early associations,
was mutual pleasure, which we en-
joyed to the utmost. She gives many
interesting facts concerning Utah, polyg-
amy and Brigham Young, and reports
much dissatisfaction among the Nor
mon women.
Council Bluffs, where 7 have been lee
turing for several evenings, is beauti-
fully situated city, where found a
number Of the friends and neighbors of
the Aud Lang Syne. The editors of
the two daily papers here are jolly and
gentlemanly, with none of the assumed
pomposity with which the stiff-necked
New York knights of the quill are wont
TO greet their visitors, and fairly real
lied the pleasing fact that was home
ward bound when 1 encountered the
genial, social life of their editorial sane
tums. There is a spirit of cosmopolitan
liberality of thought, sentiment and ex-
preston among the Western people that
gives way to social conventionalism as
you go farther east. Though there are
genial exceptions to the general rule,
and L met men in the Eastern cities
who were apparently as unconscious of
their own dignity rs all great men and
women really are, yet the rule is that
when you meet them they impress you
AS though they had said, "Aren't you
surprised to see what n wonderful per-
son / am?" This is not said with a
wish to detracJ in any way from the in
telligence, culture or well meaning of
the gentlemen of the East, but is given
rs n fact, the reasons for which leave
the reader to imagine.
Have just been honored by a pleasant
call from Mrs. Maynard, wife of the edi-

LARAMIE CITY, w. T., J
July lst, 1872.

Jury A9Ai Ao'--
/ stopped i'm this place on the 2sth
and have been lecturing with usual sue
cess before the only citizens of the
United States who are all such in real
ity.
Laramie is q perfect gem of a village,
with about two thousand inhabitants,
five churches and good, enterprising
and intelligent society.
L have been stopping at the residence
of Dr. Hayford, editor of the Laramie
Sentinel, and Territorial Auditor of Wy
oming Territory, who, with his pretty,
bright, young wife, has entertained me
like queen. From him have learned
n detailed history of Woman Suffrage
and its effects in Wyoming, which l
have not time to give in full at present,
although it is intensely interesting and
l should dearly love to write it up. Suf-
fee it to say that have talked with a
number of gentlemen who are trying as
Democrats to gulp the Greeley pill, and
with others who regret, rs do, that the
women are doomed to run the present
Presidential campaign on diet of wa
ter and Cruel, while their brother Re
publicans help themselves to the beef
steak and plum pudding, and all, ire
spective of partisan bias, agree that the
results of woman's enfranchisement
have been for good.
The sensation stories, gotten up by
the mans rights press, about the bad
workings of the jury system are laughed
over by the sensible lady jurors and
their equally sensible and well pleased
husbands, who not only never did object
to their wives fulfilling the duties of
citizenship, but who honOred them for
so doing and sustained them in their sa-
cred obligations to the commonwealth
as only freemen can.
The houses of ill fame that fiourished
here before the women became voters
have betaken themselves to mans
rights quarters in Colorado, and but for
the support the saloons receive from the
travelling public of the mans rights
States and Territories, there would not
be doggery sustained in the place.
The people here are especially wide
awake, public spirited and liberal; and
if they could only realize how famous
Wyoming has become all over the
United States for her noble position in
the van of political progression, thev
would feel, even more keenly than
now, the injustice of being deprived of a
voice in the Presidential election.
The idea that an individual who for
twenty or forty years has voted for
President or Governor in New York or
Iowa, becomes partially disfranchised
as soon as he removes to a Territory, is
beginning to show its absurdity on its
face, and when / get to the United
States Senate, l shall see if we can't
further free the Territories.
I wish our Oregon Legislature could
travel over the United States and learn
how famous Wyoming has become of
her political position. Then 1 know
that Honorable Body would decide en-
lnasse to bring our State into favorable
public notice by not only enfranchisino
its women, but by becoming the first to
send woman to the Senate of this Re-
public, that the fair name of far off Ore
gon might thus become prominent in

The resolutions were disposed Of as
follows:
WHEREAS, AS the welfare of the peo-
pie depends i'm great measure upon the
laws by which they are governed, and
the laws in turn depend upon the char
acter of those who make them, and rs
the right of suffrage in Republic lays
at the foundation of the law-making
power, therefore,
Res0Ired, That the enfranchisement
of women should be the first, if not the
exclusive aim of the friends of equal
rights and good order, and that all social
and religious questions should be ig-
nored, as having no necessary connec-
tion with the movement for equality of
political privileges.
Laid on table temporarily to allow a
member to propose substitute.
ResOlred, That the promise to obey in
the marriage contract is an insult to the
human soul.
Adopted.
Res0yUcd, That we will not, by voice,
vote or pen, aid in the election of a
Presidential candidate who is not great
enough and just enough to advocate
wOman's right to the elective franchise.
Rejected.
ReSoIred, That we will work with
any earnest soul who may desire the
benefit of the ballot without regard to
antecedents or regulations.
Adopted.

Thinking Of the past and gone,
While the clock, with drOwSy fingcr,
Marks how slow the minutes llnger.
And the cmbers, dimly burning,
Tell OF life TO dust returning,
Then my lonely seat around,
With a solemn, mournful sound,
With murmur, soft and low,
Come the ghosts OF long ago.
One by one / count them DER,
Voices that are heard no more,
Tears that loving checks have wet,
Words whose music fingers yet,
Holy faces, pale and fair,
Shadowy locks OF waving hair,
Gentle sighs and whispers dear,
Songs forgotten many year,
Lips OF dewy fragrance, eyes
Brighter, bluer than the skies,
Odors breathed from Paradise,
As thus AZ eve I SIT alone,
Thinking OF the past and gone,
All around me sad and low,
Come the ghosts Of long ago"
