Last Nights Radical Mass Meeting.

Last Nights Radical Mass Meeting.
At the Cooper Institute yesterday evening
mass meeting was held by the Grant republi-
cans, at which Judge Pierrepont delivered
careful, smooth and well-poised address, as
lawyer of his ability might, speaking for his
party. But whatever party good may have
been derived from this speech was thrown
away by the appearance of a ''culled gemman"
to tell patronizingly what he knows about the
white vote. Although having given the ne
groes their freedom, we are not quite pre-
pared yet to swallow their dictation as to how
we are to cast our ballots. We have respect
for the colored people in their place,
and that place is assuredly not as the
equals intellectually of the whites. They
cannot turn their leading strings
into oratorical whips for ourselves just
yet. Hayh, which they have had to them
selves, is about in the anarchical condition of
things which their assumption of leadership
would mean; and although the bare idea of
this is absurd, we object to it even in hompo-
pathic Doses We can therefore only wonder
at the complacency with which the ''culled
gemman" was listened to in the patronage he
extended to his white fellow citizens. We can
admit, for the sake of argument, that ''the
colored troops fought nobly," but we know it
was under white leaders; and as this seems to
be about the position they are destined to fill
in the approaching elections it would be
something more to the point to let their white
leaders now do the talking for them also. In
Tennessee, as so graphically told by our able
correspondent, we have q man who has
been EEK everything in the Office
holding line from President down,
trying to sandwich himself in be-
tween. two other candidates, and putting
his ''X'' like multiplication sign, between
his desire and his opportunity to make him
self Congressman at Large in spite of I'll
odds; but at last nights meeting we have q
Judge and a negro trying to talk General
Grant into reelection, presenting only the
signs of addition and division" without the
well known political quantity Of ''silence."
We think, with regard to the colored orators
blatant patronage Of his white leaders, it
might round here be advantageously exchanged
for the tacit article. On one side it is ''any-
thing to beat Grant," and on the other ''any-
thing to beat Greeley" which will account,
we suppose, for the powers of endurance of
the meeting last night in hearing this "culled
gemman's" rhapsody with patience The black
vote must be catered to, you know, even at
the expense Of decency, truth and common
sense.

too absurd for any one to imagine that this gentle

This bit Of campaign gossip must be taken as q
facetious or malicious rap at some one who may
have been making improper use OF DR.. McGlynn's

than dragging the sacred interests which he repre-

AN IMPORTANT APPEAL.

We have received, too late for its in
tended practical use, "An Appeal to the
Women of Washington Territory"
written for publication in the journals
of that Territory by Dr. Mary o. Brown.
chairman of the Executive Committee
of the Territorial Woman Suffrage AS
sociation. The local journals refused to
publish the appeal, and retained it so
long in their possession that DR. Brown
was unable TO forward it to us in the
proper season. We respectfully assure
our friend the DIR. that a mistake was
made in patFonizing the mans rights
papers with her appeal.
The circulation of the NEW NORTH
WEST is quite as good in Washington
Territory as is that of any of its local
publications, and her appeal would have
been treated in our columns with that
respectful consideration which her zeal
and worth so justly merit. But better
luck next time, good sister. Rally your
friends TO the support Of the Peoples
Paper, and do not hereafter wait for
your communications to be retained by
other journals until out of date before
you remember your legitimate ally and
eo-wOrker.
The appeal is an able and exhaustive
argument, urging the women of Wash
ingtOn Territory to assert their politi-
cal prerogatiye under the 14th and 18th
Amendments to the Federal Constitu-
tim

probable failure of our enterprise! One
such letter as yours, backed by post Of

dence OF sincerity, is worth several mil
lions of the other kind.
NJ. a. H.: A combination of silk and
cashmere makes a very fashionable
dress. Take the best parts of your worst
worn black silk dress and four yards Of
black cashmere. Make ruffies alter
nately of both kinds of goods, binding
each ruffle with the other material. Put
them on with slight fullness, allowing
each to overlap the other until you
have as many as you want. Finish
with heading to match, between
which and the top ruffle you may stitch
bias band of either material. Make
polonoise front part cashmere, back
part silk, or rice uerSa, and trim to
match skirt. By this combination you
can make an elegant suit at very mod
crate expense.
Mary o., Albany: Your two shades
of brown Empress cloth will both wash
like fiannels. Rip apart and pick
stitches carefully. Then wash in clean
hot suds, taking care to press smoothly
before quite dry. Use the two shades to
make a new suit after the directions
given above for 'silk and cashmere"
Hattie: Gorge your stomach with
cold potatoes and see if you do not for
get him; or, better still, engage your
whole being, soul and body, in some
praiseworthy employment, so that you
may forget your present morbid interest
In yourself. 1t is not the fellow that
you love so well, but your own PAM
pered, petted self. If he should prove
to be other than the paragon your fancy
has painted him, wouldn't you fee
ashamed of yourself? Well, no man i:
perfect, and no woman either, for thai
matter, so don't make fool of yourself
because one man has deceived you
But don't forget that potato remedy; or
If it fails, eat cold boiled cabbage.

seek Office" that perhaps some woman
might excel him and get an official
crumb he wanted for himself. 1 have
often noticed that men of broad views

ADMOEITORY.

We call the attention of our Republi-
can contemporaries to an article from
the Liberal Republican in another coll

luctantly admit. That he fails to con-
vince us that Democratic Legislatures

do better if they should get another
majority in either house, has nothing to
do with the validity of his argument.
With the exception of q few intelligent
members, both houses were manned BY
monkeys, and it is not TO be wondered
at, that whether such were Republicans
or Democrats, they feared TO give wom-
en- equal opportunities with themselves,
even in the right to petition and remon-
strate, for there is danger that the wom-
en- might sometime petition the man
ayers of the primaries to consider 4
moderate supply of brains as a requisite
qualification of n Legislator. But to
the voting Republicans of Oregon the
disenfranchised Republicans say,
6eiodre. Wetell you eandidly that it is
time that you heed our admonitions.
We note cheering signs of the times in
our eastern exchanges, many of which,
like HdTpeT's and the Times are strong
for Human Rights, and we are also
proud TO see our own OrcgOnidn, ever
deserving its rank as leader, giving
forth an unmistakable ring of true
patriotism.
To gain the respectful consideration OF
the respectable portion of the public
press is much, but we demand Of our
brethren more than this. We demand
that they shall impress upon the minds
of their leaders the necessity of granting
speedy justice to the women whose ef-
forts have placed them in power, OF

PERSONAL.

We were yesterday honored by =
pleasant call from Hon. a. b. Meaeham,
the Republican Presidential Elector,
who has been chosen TO carry the party's
Oregon vote TO Washington. Let the
women bear in mind that Mr.. VI. is the
only prominent Republican in Oregon
who had the courage TO step squarely
upon the l4th plank and stand there
during the entire campaign; and let the
week-kneed politicians remember that
his promotion TO positions OF honor and
trust, will be awarded in proportion to
his practical good sense and moral stand
ing, while men equally conscientious
concerning good principles, will see their
claims all set aside. We wish our friend
a pleasant journey and we know he
will acquit himself wherever he goes
with credit TO our State.

DRUNKENNESS.

Drunkenness is not an apology for the
vice and crime which so often accom-
pany it, but an aggravation of the Of
fences committed under its wicked in
spirations. When a man, under the in
fiuence Of intoxicating liquors, commits
murder, he is almost sure to be shielded,
at least In part, from the consequences
of the crime under the plea of drunken
ness; and his counsel will seek to palli-
ate the deed with the plea of insanity.
Human life is too cheap to be safe in
community where men voluntarily
put an enemy into their mouths to steal
away their brains. When q man whets
his appetite for rum by taking the social
glass, he is preparing himself for the
commission of crime.
/ have been informed by those well
acquainted with the circumstance, that
some years since n Mr.. Burrows, an
Englishman living in the vicinity of
Forest Grove, a seemingly indulgent
husband and father, had built good
dwelling house, but rufused to remove
from the old uncomfortable building to
the new one, always urging some trivial
excuse for his strange conduct; but as
he was "head of the family" his tOiH, of
course, was lar. One evening two
neighbors spent the evening very pleas
antly at their house, and during their
visit the wife urged her husband to re-
move. He refused, but they noted
nothing strange in his conduct except
this refusal. Upon their return to their
homes, about two miles distant, they
noticed a strange light in the direction
Of Burrows house, and speeding back
on their horses to the scene of conflagra-
tiOn, they beheld Burrows walking
around the building with bottle in his
hand, in a state of maudlin intoxication.
He explained that he had sent his dear
family all to rest and he knew he had
made them happy. The family was
ingI Was he not a murderer in the first
degree? Yet he was acquitted on the
ground of insanity.
He who voluntarily surrenders his
reason upon the altar of appetite courts
the calamities, and therefore deserves
the penalties that should follow in the
wake of intemperance.
May we not hope that when the wives
and mothers of men have 4 voice in
law-making these things will be
amended? Is there not room for i'm
provement ? Ever for progress,
Mrs. .. +. DANIELS.

It is recommended that final surveys
between the English and American
boundaries be made at once, before the
dense settling up of the Russian Ameri-

feuds between the two Governments.
Preparations are making for the In
ternational Exhibition to be held next
year ut Vienna on a scale of very great
magnitude. 1t is recommended that
the Secretary of the Navy be authorized
to fit up two naval vessels to transport

the most convenient ports for Vienna,
the articles for exhibition.
The Cuban Rebellion is pronounced a
terrible wrong, the natural result Of a
terrible evil. Regulations for carrying
out the laws of emancipation have been
announced by the Spanish Government,
in conformity with the law of 1870. Such
legislation as may be proper is recon-
mended to prevent American citizens,
resident in Cuba, from dealing in slaves.
The Treasury and War Departments
are treated at much length and the
financial showing is very gratifying.
The Signal Service, the Navy De-
partment and the condition Of the Post
Office Departments are clearly and def.
initely explained. An increase of the
commercial carrying trade is urged, and
the appropriation of few million dol.
lars annually for the next five year:
recommended for the purpose OF reviv-
ing this trade.
The President does not doubt that a
great majority of the people in all parts
of the country are in favor of the full
enjoyment by all classes of persons OF
those rights to which they are entitled
by the Constitution and the laws.
The Patent Office, Pensions and the
Census are all exhaustively treated.
Education, Agriculture, the Centennial
Anniversary, Civil Service, and much
else which we have not space TO notice,
receive ample attention in the Message,
which, taken altogether, is the most
able production of the kind that we
have yet received as a National doeu-
ment. The genius of Henry Wilson
and Geo. II. Williams glistens in every
paragraph, and We are badly mistaken
if the whole is not their work. The
former, if writing alone, would have
come out strong on the woman ques-
ton, and the latter, if writing alone,
would have failed to polish the SEN
tences and point the periods in theiI
present perfection. With such men as
aids to our sagacious Presidential figure
head, we look for another Administra.
tional term of prosperity yet greater
/ than the last; and when in the third
year of the next Administration Con
gress passes, as it surely win, Uni
versal Suffrage law, then the NatiOI
will prepare to enjoy its Centennial Ju
bilee with such united demonstrations o
patriotism from whole people, who ar
in every sense free and independen
as has never yet been imagined in thi

We merely call attention to these
facts as to matters of current news and
public interest, and without committing
ourselves upon this subject pro or con.
We will remark, however, that public
sentiment would be vastly more easily
reconeiled to this innovation than it
was five years ago to the extension Of

not hurt anybody or create revolution.
