LETTER FROM OREGON CITY.


OREGON CITY, Feb. PC, 1872.
EDITOR NEW NORTHWEST:
One evening not long since l chaneed
to be so fortunate as to attend concert
at the Baptist church in this renowned
"City of the Falls" AS shown by the
programme" the best musical talent
in the city, both men and women, were
engaged. So naturally looked forward
to quite a treat-and l will here state
that my expectations were more than
realized. Arriving early, had time,
while awaiting the first appearance of
the singers, to glance over the audience,
and, somewhat to my surprise, beheld
quite q number of persons who last Fall
were shocked at the spectacle of tOonl-
an being so far forgetful of womanly
modesty and dignity as to appear upon
the platform and address promiscuous
crowd, now waiting, eager and expect
ant, to be entertained in part by women
appearing in this obnoxious manner,
and who, if they succeeded in pleasing
the audience, must certainly sing much
louder than Miss Anthony spoke. Now
said to myself, we will see how these
self-constituted champions of womanly
mOdesty will show their disapproya
and frown these women back to theil
proper sphere-their home duties anC
the care of their children. Would yoU
believe it? Instead of frowns they wer'
greeted with appreciative smiles, anC
the curtain fell with enthusiastic ap
plausel Can it be possible, thought 1
that men who declare that women have
not time TO vote will be so inconsistent
as to encourage these women in tn,
waste(?) of time necessary for the re
hearsal of this music? What, o wha
is to become of the "babies" if wOmeI
are to be smiled upon, applauded an,
encouraged while thus neglecting thei
maternal duties? Think of the helples
little creatures being compelled to re
eeive indigestible "papn at the hands G

ther importunings for the concession of
our inalienable rights. You see many
of us have grown gray in the work AL
ready for more than quarter of a CEN
tury have we been instant in season and
out of season in our efforts to secure
your recognition of woman's political
equality in this professedly Democratic
Republican Government. | ask you to
endeavor to believe, if but for a mo-
ment, that women feel under all these
violations of the great principles Of free
government precisely as you yourselves
would feel if your peers should vote you
out of the pale of political action. Could
you thus really believe, our prayer
would be promptly answered and the
law of Congress be passed that women
citizens of no States should be Obstruct-
ed in their attempt to vote. join with
Mrs. Hooker in urging you to report
Immediately, favorably if possible,
against if you must, but report at once,
that we may get an expression of Con-
gress and learn who and how many our
friends are, and what to expect and
hope for at your hands.
Mrs. Lockwood then presented to the
Committee a petition signed by over
$4,000 women of the Republic-all fas-
tened together in one immense roll.
Senators Trumbull, Frelinghuysen,
Conkling, Carpenter and others of the
Committee pronounced the arguments
most able, and all seemed deeply inn
pressed with the earnestness and power
of the demand for woman. The effect
of the hearing was heightened by the
immense crowd of women who rushed
to the Capitol, each one hoping to be
one of the one hundred that could get
inside the Committee room. The halls
and corridors were packed and the
streets leading to the Capitol also. 1t
was an occasion matched only by that
of our Revolutionary Fathers in their
struggle for their liberty.
But began this letter to tell you of
my snow-bound trip over the Rocky
mountains-nined days getting from Og-
den to Omaha-but pleasant times new
ertheless, for 1 was in company with
the Hon. a. y. Sargent, wife, two
daughters and son, and a most delight
full family they are. And a strong friend
we have in Mr.. Sargent, returned to
Congress now for the next eight years.
He will make his mark for justice and
equality to woman-a in his wife we
have an earnest and able ally to our
cause. And when public man has the
prize of a strong, noble, self-pOised
woman for a wife, there is hardly any
moral height we may not hope him to
reach. / see your Senator Corbett's wife
is declared the hdndsomest of the Sena-
torial wives. / claim for California the
truest, best Woman Suffragist of Sena-
torial wives-greatest glory of all.
Tell everybody to send on their petit
tions to Congress-their demands like
better. With remembrance of our
pleasant journeyings through Oregon
and Washington Territory, and of all
the good people who greeted us every
where, remain yours sincerely,
SUSAN B. ANTHONY.

We're terminated as the curtain was
again drawn aside, and a graceful and
accomplished lady came forward and
rendered ''The Bridge of Signs" in an
Impressive manner and with full, rich
voice, that could scarcely fail to excite
the admiration of the most inveterate
stlekler for "woman's sphere" Who
says that the gifted woman should hide
the talent God has given her even in
the sacred precincts of home? Not her
her husband evidently, for she was GER
tainly there with his consent and appro-
baton. And 1 will venture TO predict
that no vision of buttonless shirts. un-
tidy stockings or neglected children cast
shadow over his qualification at his
wife's triumph. Now, does it not seem
absurd for woman to be frowned upon
and shamefully misrepresented when
and because she appears in public as 4
speaker, while her appearance as a singer
in a manner equally public is greeted
with marked approval? Who can see
wherein "home duties" would suffer
more in the one case than in the other?
How can it be more unwomanly or in
any way more reprehensible to enter
tain an audience with original ideas
than to merely rehearse for their edifi-
cation the words of others? If there Is
a difference it should be in favor of those
who OtOR and lUOrk their own brains.
That in the "good time coming" these
things may be viewed impartialIy from
the solid standpoint of common sense
let us live i'm HOPE.

LETTER FROM FOREST GROVE.

FOREST GROVE, Feb. 26.
EDITOR NEW NORTHWEST;
Your last issue has the true ring,
especially what you say of the 'SiIent
Man of Destiny" Shame and misery
on us all, if "we, the people of these
United States" can't elect better man
as our Chief! Ex-senator Nesmith and
many others who knew Grant here
years ago have told me the same in effect
as you now state.
Go on in your course. The issue is
only a question of time. Ruin must
sooner or later come to all such base men
as our degraded President, and woe
betide the "whited sepulehers" uphold
ing him!
What the country needs and must
have is an Independent party-the peo-
ple's party of men and women true to
themselves.
Go on as you have begun, and the
victory shall be yours at the last, when
right-minded, intelligent men and
women will shout the 'harvest home"

uLNEss OF MR.. BYRNE.

Henry Ward Beecher's lecture on
"The Redemption of the Ballot'' con-
tains the following excellent passage:-
Even an ignorant man is better quail
fed to vote than is an educated man to
vote for him; one man is not fit to vote
for another. The lower classes come up
by forcing their way up. 1t is so in re-
ligiOn. Even ministers at one time did
not like laymen to be considered their
equals. All would remember that II

Out in Illinois there is a child, now
three months old, weighing but two
pounds. Its length is only seven inches
and its face about the size of q watch
crystal. Its tiny arms are so slender
that a small finger ring can be slipped
on either of them to the shoulder. This
little creature is already making quite a
noise in its part of the world, and hun
dreds have called to see it. The parents
are of standard size.

Laura D. Fair.

The reporter of the San Francisco
Chronicle gives the following account of
an interview with Mrs. Fair since a new
trial has been granted in her case:
Since the welcome intelligence of a
new trial being granted, Mrs. Fair has
wonderfully improved in appearance.
Her cheeks have gained something of
color. The expression of utter abandon
ment which she wore when we saw her
last in the Fifteenth District Court room,
on the occasion of her suit with DR..
Trask, has disappeared, and
a BRIGHT, HOPEFUL LIGHT
Now beams in her eyes. The woman
has evidently undergone a change. The
prospect of an impending death of dis
grace on the gallOws, succeeded by
new lease of life and hope of ultimate
aequittal, have wrought a complete tran
formation. In answer to our inquiries
as to the counsel she would employ in
the new trial, Mrs. Fair said:
"Judge y. Greene CUrtus and Judge
Quint will be my attorneys"
RepOrter-Can you give me any in
formation, Mrs. Fair, about the probable
proceeding in your case?
Mrs. Fair-At present l have nothing
which could interest any one; but when
have anything of interest to commun-
icate, shall always be pleased to give
it to the press. L do think, however,
! that have not been treated fairly by
some of the newspapers. They have
said some hard things against me.
This closed the brief conference, and
the reporter withdrew.
ATTITUDE OF THE PROSECUTION.
We understand that Judge Campbell
will argue that the decision of the Su-
preme Court is not according to the facts
submitted, nor based upon law. The
evidence in regard to the prisoners ehas-
tity was not introduced to prove her un-
ehaste, but in refutatiOn of the plea OF
insanity. As to the objection to the
opening and closing of argument by the
prosecution, the statue OF 1884 provides
that all pereeutiOns shall have the open
ing and close. Judge Campbell Will
move for the reargument of the case be-
fore the Supreme Court.
ILLNESS OF MR.. BYRNE.
Should the second trial take place the
aspect as the case as regards counsel on
both sides will be materially changed
