.'Woodhull Il ClaAin's Weekly
The publication Of this paper which was sus-
pended last June has been recommended. The
editor seems to have had rather bad time in
the interval, judging tsem the following extrae.
from her leading article of this week: - ia
''When we began the publication of the
Weekly we were able to surround ourselves
with the comforts of life, but when it became
necessary to the continuation. of the paper one
by one they were sacrificed, We first gave up
our house on Murray ;Hil and took board at
greatly reduced expense. We were at length
compelled to leave these quarters because Of
the doctrines we advocated, and our exposures
of the rottenness of thesocial condition; and we
found it impossible to obtain admission to any
other where we could live; We then attempt
ed to take another house, but not a house agent
in the city would rent to uS. For six weeks
we made every possible exertion in every pos
sible direction, but in vain. On every hand it
was the same story, We, personally, don't
object to you, but you know there is such
prejudice against you that really we can't do
it Aud We were absolutely obliged to give
up the idea of getting house. :'a'aE. r. !'.
'In the meantime we had turned our atten-
tion to the public hotels as a last resort After
unsuccessful attempts at not less than dozen,
We were at last admitted to the 'Glsey.'t ! But
when MIR. Gardner, one OF the proprletors, who
was absent at. the time Of our admission, re-
turned, we we're requested to leave, the reason
assigned for it beingi, that if we rema1ned IN
the hotel all his family boarders would leave
We expostulated, and asked what acts We had
committed that we should have this insult
put upon us, and the reply was that we pub
lshed a paper, and made speeches in which free
love was advocated; and the people would not
tolerate any snch things We finally said that
we should stand upon our rights as citizens, and
unless some msdemeanor could be proved upon
us, we should not leave the hotel until we got
Il suitable place to 90 to; and not then because
of the desire to expel us One night, however,
on retiring from the Office, we found that our
room had been entered, our baggage taken
therefron,, and the door guarded by a person
to prevent our admission. Sick and weary with
continual strife, we vainly sought for other
lodgings. No hotel would receive US, and,
finally, at one clock at night, we were obliged
to return to our office in Broad street, and sleep
as best we could upon the floor, the result OF
which was, sickness to ourselves and child.
And there we were obliged to remain for weeks
until a relative obtained house, into which We
removed.
Revenge is sweet, however, and this is the
way she is going to "get even And we now
declare our intention to carry the war into At
rioa." Since those who have climbed into the
trees of sham morality, looking and splitting
down upon US, will not come down for the turf
which has been used against them, we shall
now proceed to the use of stones, with the in-
tention to hurt We mean to break some
eggs, ii the omelettes we make do not prove
palatable to partakers and we mean to lnau-
gurate the Universal Washing Day, SO that
tester and rot, breeding pestience and social
ruin. ,.-.. ..-.
I'VE make the formal declaration that when
ever person, whom We know to be o ~hypo-..
critic, stands up and denounces US because OF
our doctrines, and not because Of our immoral
practices, we shall unmask him and we are
prepared to take all the responsibilities of libel
suits and Imprisonment with which we are even
now threatened if we unmask, as We certainly
shall one of the most notorious cases that ever
existed. Arrests and prisons have no fear tor
US We have endured more torture than they
can bring. ;.
I'VE have FIVE hundred biographies fvarious
persons, in all circles of life, many OF which
persons are the present oracles OF society, the
facts of which biographies are similar, to those
presented 10 this article. Many may ,deprecate
the publication of such facts; but there Is no
other possible way out of the present social de-
moralization into which society is declining.
People must be compelled to live just such
lives as they want the public to think they
live
"F.su1oNs' IN CHURCHES. The New York
corrcsnondent of the Baltimore American says:
"On one of these fine October days was lald
the corner stone of ST. Thomas Mission Chapel,
some half mile to the northeast OF Dr. Mor-
cams new and admirably designed church on
Fifth avenue and Fifty third street.-the tor
mer, we are told being designed TOR the poor
of the church, and so, suppose, the. more
sacred place of the two, for Hath not G9d
chosen the poor of this world? Now; St
Thomas Church is rich but serious and ap-
propriate style of place for Divine worship, win
some features of originality and peculiar con
yepience in it's arrangement One sees no rea-
son why the poor of the church might not Wor-
shin here with the rich of the churehAhere i Is
usually room cnough-and take the pull oehens
with them not only of the common Gospei anu
the common PRAYER, but Of the uncommon I'M
pressiveness In the surroundings, when is sup.
