A Disgrace.

Let the moralists stop talking about
the Fair verdict. II that disgraced San
Francisco, she has since been disgraeed
so deeply that the first offense is white
i'm comparison, and that not by a jury
chosen by test which generally ex-
cludes ordinary intelligence, but an Of
ficer of the law sworn to execute Justice.
The whole community were Mortified
on Sunday by the testimony drawn out
of the examination of a shipmaster
charged with having done to her death,
on the high seas, a young woman who
was placed completely in his power.
There was an abundant evidence of his
cruel, develish treatment of the young
girl, whom every impulse OF manhood,
every dictate of duty, every mandate
of law, which, upon his own deck,
clothes him with supreme authority,
urged him TO protect and defend, even
at any risk to himself; and letter from
the poor girl was read, in which, with a
simple pathos that might have made
strong men weep, she, dying, told her
mother how she had protected her
honor at the expense of her life.
Yesterday, United States Commits
siOner L. B. Sawyer, to the astOnish-
ment of spectators and the horror of the
whole community, when it became
known, discharged the accused without
a word of explanation. To-day the
Colorado, the scene OF the foul crime,
rides at taut cable in the stream and by
an early hour tomorrow, Captain In
graham will probably be again upon the
Pacific, congratulating himself that the
persecution to death of young girl by
n shipmaster, TO whose embraces she
would not consent, is not considered in
San Francisco matter of sufficient mo-
ment to deserve even a trial.
This denial Of justice is more disgrace
ful to San Francisco than q hundred
Fair verdicts. Mrs. Fair was a woman
who, in a moment of passion, had killed
a man as criminal as herself, and she
was only acquitted after two long and
costly trials had at least proved the de-
sire of the community to do justice; but
here is q strong man who persecutes q
weak girl to her death-a ship captain
who uses his power to torture one under
his control into giving up what to a
virtuOus woman is dearer than n life,
and who, failing in this, deliberately
torments her till her health is broken,
and she lies down to die. Yet he is dis
missed on a preliminary examination
without as much as trial.
Captain Ingraham, to the everlasting
disgrace of our legal system, has proba-
bly, gone; but is the man who set him
free TO be permitted to insult the moral
sense of the community by retaining
his seat on the bench as United States
COMMISSIONERS. f. Post. 1

WOODHULL REDIDIVUS.

Last weeks dispatches brought the
news that Woodruff and Claflin had
been arrested and imprisoned for send
ing obscene literature through the
United States mails. This weeks east
ern mails bring an issue of WIOOdhUU e.
CldfiR's Weekly, which is in itself full
explanation of the cause for arrest and
Imprisonment. These notorious wom-
en-, stung to madness by defeat, have
resorted to q species Of revenge at once
questionable and efiicacious. Mrs.
Woodhull's erpoSc of the alleged Edsoa
between Mr.. Beecher and Mrs. Tilton is
the most remarkable production of the
kind on record The details are too
disgusting for publication, but if true,
they stamp her as the most thorough
social scavenger of the age; if false, they
brand her as the most daring and insid-
ious villain that ever disgraced a bastile.
We await further disclosures with
much interest, merely remarking to our
wise and virtuous executors Of law and
justice that the dirtiest issue of the
Weekly that we have ever seen is not to
be compared to the vile pictures that a
certain Portland Front Street news
dealerdisplays daily with utter impunity
upon his bulletin boards to glut the
greedy sensual appetites of the vulgar OF
both sexes as they walk past and gaze
upon them.
We would by no means shield Mrs
Woodruff from justice, but we are al
loss to understand why men may dc
with impunity that for which sConleE
who had no voice in making the law:
are promptly imprisoned.

BOSTON.

Hardly had Chicago, the "quecn of
the West" rallied from the devastation
of her terrible conflagration ere Boston,
the "bee-hive of the East, :" was attacked
by the fire fiend. For days the tele-
graph brought Us news from the fame
beleaguered city, causing intense eX-
citement and painful suspense as the
word was passed from mouth to mouth
that the fireNyas still beyond the con-
troll of man; and anxious hearts and
longing eyes have throbbed and watched
and waited in the hope that the doomed
city might be spared further aud more
dire disaster. At the present writing
the fire is considered under control, and
it is hoped that its further spread may
be prevented.
The losses are estimated at many mil
lions of dollars; but the losses in cash
are not to be compared to the temporary
privations of the thousands Of homeless
and destitute that the fire has turned
into the streets to endure the rigors OF
an approaching winter.
As with Chicago, so with Boston will
the people everywhere come forward
with aid. Let not Portland be remiss
in her duty, but let her spare literally
of her abundance i'm the time Of Boston's
need. Large sums are already being
raised in the principal cities, Chicago
leading the van with one hundred thous-
and dollars while the fire was yet at
its greatest frenzy.

EDITH O'G0RMAN.

Inc Escaped Nun favored our city
last week with three lectures upon her
life and experiences as ''Sister Theresa"
in the Convent Of Madison, New jersey:
Our first impressions of the lady were
not altogether favorable. She appeared
over-dressed, and her style was exces-
sively theatrical, and not very graceful
or dignified. But if her manner was
not pleasing, her subject was interesting
enough to atone for the lack of grace.
She held her audience spell-bound to
the close, delivering a diffusive and
somewhat rambling account of her con-
vent Experiences, which at times excited
laughter and again occasionally drew
tears.
Her second lecture was more interest
ing than the first, and her manner was
also much more pleasing. The pulled
white illusion pOlonaise of the first even
ing had given place to aneat fitting black
silk basquine, and the cumbersome train
upon which she had stumbled at heI
first appearance was exchanged this
time for demi-train of more reasonable
proportions. We mention this matter
of dress because we deem il of vast i'm
portance that women who are seeking
to reform the world should set good eX.
amples rs to common sense about
"wherewithal they shall be clothed
That white illusion over-dress and long
train and satin fiehu, trimmed with
swans down, looked too cloud" for q
reformer, and as faithful chronieler oI
public facts, we do but perform our duty
when we say so.
Her narration of the priestly attempt
at seduction and of her flight "out into
the wide world, any1rhere-away from
the convent" was thrillingly interest
ing.
She also gave an amusing account OF
her adventure in the San Francisco
police court, and closed her second lee
ture with an eloquent appeal TO Portland
parents to keep their children away from
convent schools.
The third lecture, to ladies only, wa:
exceedingly well attended, almost every
seat in the house being occupied. Hel
language in this lecture was chaste anC
well chosen, her manner pleasing anC
unembarrassed and her theme ont
which every mother in the land would
do well TO heed. We cannot bu
acknowledge the potency of Edit
/ OGorman's mission. Whether wha
she tells be true or false, it will set tn,
people to thinking, and thought viii
promote investigation.
She promises to return in a fortnigh
and give a farewell lecture TO our citi
zens, when we hope she will again b
greeted by a crowded house.

epeen Yiotoria,s Home at windsor:

The castle itselfis a huge, battlemented
struture of gray stOne-a fortress as well
as palace-with home park OF five
hundred acres, the private grounds OF
Mrs. Guelph, and, beyond that, grand
park of eighteen hundred acres. But do
not imagine that she lives here with
only her children and servants about
her-this kindly German widow, whose
throne was once in the hearts Of her
people. Royalty is a complicated affair
"a wheel within wheel-and reminds
us of nothing so much as ''the house
that Jack built"
This is the Castle of Windsor. This is
the Queen that lives in the Castle OF
Windsor.
These are the ladies that tend on the
Queen that lives in the Castle of Wind
sor.
These are the pages that bow to the
ladies that tend on the Queen that lives
in the Castle of Windsor.
These are the lackeys that wait on the
pages that bow to the ladies that tend
on the Queen that lives in the Castle of
Windsor.
These are the soldiers, tried and sworn,
that guard the crown from the unicorn,
that stand by the lackeys that wait on
the pages that bow to the ladies that
tend on the Queen that lives in the
Castle of Windsor.
These are the tmilitary knights" all
forlorn, founded by Edward before you
were born, that Outrank the soldiers,
tried and sworn, that guard the crown
from the unicorn, that stand by the
laekeys that wait on the pages that bow
to the ladies that tend on the Queen

These are the knights that the garter

endless.

letter received.
A. B. p, Portland: Your letters, two
Of them, have been received. Your dia-
gram is beyond our ken, though it is
ingenious and evidently worth search
ing out by those who have the time for
such investigations.
Fora, Corvallis: Thanks for your kind
and brave words. All over the land
these independent thinkers are spring
ing to our aid, infusing new courage
and confidence in our heart, bidding US
be Of good cheer, for the morning dawn
eth.
Mollie F.; Do not promise TO "obey"
in the marriage ceremony. Command
the minister to omit the word. No
man who is worth marrying would ac-
cept a wife who would be willing to
obey him in defiance of her own judg-
ment. Humanity is progressing be-
yond such exactions.
NJ. a. o., Salem, writes: "What do
you think of Mrs. Woodruff now ?'
To which we answer that our opinion
of her has not changed one whit. She
is just as good and no better than
Brigham Young; and the woman move
ment is no more responsible for her
vagaries than is the man movement
/ for Brighamis exeesses.

THAT eEEANED CHILD

The self-conceited simpleton, Bud
Thompson, of the Mercury, whom the
defeated Democracy employ to peddie
their stale abuses of everything morai
or progressive, and who employ him for
no other reason than because they get
him cheap, began his editorial duties on
the 9th inst. with psalmodic pd't
which might well draw tears from the
eyes of behemoth. Hear him:
Surely we have behaved and quieted ourselI
as child that is wcaned Of his motheri oui
soul Is even as a weaned child.
