We believe il would do less harm for a

To declare cholera an epidemic and re-

not believe that lawyer can make

professional, gentlemen with less faith

We hope that some action will be taken
on the subject this evening at the CITY

LETTER FROM SHERIDAN.

SHERIDAN, July :, 1873.
EDITOR NEW NORTHWEST:
So many exciting notices were abroad
in relation to the Fourth of July cele-
brations in the more prominent places
in the State, that we hardly expected
much OF a success in our more humble
efforts in this rather out-of-the-way viii
lage, but nevertheless we met and cele-
brated, and our jubilee was grand sue
cess.
DIR. Watts, the orator of the day, gave
us a statesmanlike oration, of the old
fashioned kind, occupying one hour and
forty minutes, during which i only need
to say there was no moving from one seat
to another, or any other manifestation Of
Impotence or WEAKNESS. We also had
elegant singing and other music and a
splendid dinner, Of which everybody
was invited to partake.
The afternoon exercises consisted of
temperance speeches that were in
tensely interesting. One old man, who
has long been known as a drunkard,
made an impassioned address, at the
close of which he pledged himself, be-
fore his hearers, and in the presence of
Almighty God, to abstain hereafter en-
tirely from everything that intoxicates.
The scene was vividly affecting, and one
that will long lee remembered by the
large assembly.
Woman's Rights are being agitated
here to a considerable extent, and we
are anXioualy looking for you TO come
and hold that promised protracted
meeting.
Yours in the hope that you may soon
celebrate the Fourth of July AS men do,
with the proud consciousness that you,
a well a. We, are, As you OF right ought
to he, free and independent. q. =. Il.

Books AND PAPERs.-After the pIod-
ding routine required for material he
cessities has been gone through with for
the day, and the tired body requires and
enjoys rest, the minds of many women
reach out hungering and thirsting after
intellectual food. Not having that
craving satisfied is what causes unhap-
piness for many whose lives seem dark
and barren.
Let them learn at once the potent
power which will lift them like magic
above the ills of life, and tighten up the
whole universe under their eyes by
reaching out and taking hold OF the
thousands Of good cheerful books which
may be had. Let them read or put into
the hands of child, husband or friend,
some one OF the many high-tOned news
papers to he had, with request to read
aloud. A few good jokes, or 4 few noble
will soon dispel the morbid
little blue devils so stealthy and insidi-
Gus i'm their encroachments upon our
health and happiness.

ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS.

Mrs. Julia H. A.: We do not know
the author Of the work you mention.
Susan D.: The old-fashioned shell
comb for the top Of the head Is again in
vogue. We can get them for you at
from fifty cents to one dollar each.
Sally: Ask the gentleman in If the
family have not retired, and your
mother is willing. Never keep the
company of even your af1ianced hus-
band after the family is abei.
Carrie C.: Apolonaise of French crcJ,c
will be very fashionable. You can
wear it with white or colored dresses,
and it is especially becoming over silk
Of the same or a contrasting shades for
evening wear.
Susan NJ: We can furnish you with
bridal trosseau complete, such as you
describe, for one hundred and fifty dol
lars, but we would not advise such an
outlay for young wife whose husband
is TO be merchants clerk. ItwOuld he
better 10 manage with an outfit of
twenty-five dollars and expend the re-
mainder in some paying business.
You'll have plenty of use for money af-
ter you get husband.
VI. l.. c: \ writ of nldadaHus il
writing from some high court, directed
to an inferior court or n corporation, re-
curing them TO perform some specified
act which relates to their particular
office or obligation. QUO CdrraRto is II
writ brought before a court, to inquire
by what right a person or corporation
enjoys or exercises certain powers. The
| lady in Nebraska who was elected from
Office on investigation under such n
writ, was found ineligible to the Office
on account of sex. Hence she is to be
ousted rs soon as the person with the
unobjeetionable sex learns his duty
/ from her.
Ettie: 1t is perfectly right to ask the
gentleman to accompany you. Sensi-
BILE men admire nothing so much in
women as naturalness. The world is
outgrowing the fallacy that alfectation
is ladylike. We have seen = young lady
half dying to attend a party or recep-
ton, yet she would not express the de-
sire lest some person would surmise that
she was angling for beau. There is
nothing dishonOrable in wanting an
agreeable escort, and there is nothing
wrong in -ayingso ofcourse, young la
dies should not be bold or forward or
impudent. Let them be simply frank
and natural, mixing their conversation
with spice and common sense, and they
will always be sufficiently admired by
men Of brains.

MISS ANTHONY'S CASE.

Our astute apologists for sexual suf-
frsge are now busily puzzling their
brains for palliation of the Infamous
Dred Scott decision recently rendered
by the l. 5. District Court for the State
of New York in the case of Susan B.
Anthony.
Because Judge Hunt holds to the fall
lacy that the right of suffrage is inher-
ent in nobody, hut is, instead, a right
conferred by State Laws, and therefore
the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amend
ments should be subseryient to the lesser
laws of the States, the same has become
the opinion of many Republican editors
of to-day, who, until recently, would
not admit a sovereignty of States in op-
position to, or above the sovereignty Of
the Federal Constitution.
How it must gladden. the heart of the
Portland Bulletin to find repOse at last
under the beneficent States Rights
doctrine Of Pomeroy's DcmOccdg How
jubilant would Stephen a. Douglass be
ANTAeFT NDnAu lAC bAt Sc AAAE pAa(AANaA
workings Of his doctrine OF Non Inter
vention thus swallowed whole by the
Republican party! How chargined
would +. d. Baker be could he but see
the Constitutional Supremacy, for
which he fought and died, given over
without a struggle by the political party
whose banner ne bore, whose existence
he heralded with the full force and in
spiration of his mighty genius.
Shades Of Abraham Lincolnl how are
the mighty fallen and the cringing op-
ponents Of mans rights-alias States
rights at last brought low!
When will the men who assume to
govern the Republic learn wisdom /?
Justice Taney years ago decided that
negroes had no rights which white men
were bound 10 respect. For a little
while the public press applauded and
considered the vexed question settled.
But the eternal principle Of justice was
not killed; it was scarcely even scotched.
Abrams of Freedom were rung from
Orient to Oeident by the grand men who
dared, and above the suave aequiesence
Of the press ani the stolid declaration of
Obtuse expounders of white mans law,
arose clamor for reversiOn of that in
famous decision that never ceased till
all black men were free. 50 now Judge
Hunt ha- said that white or black wom-
en have no political rights that white
or black men are bound to respect; and
the press, forgetting the natural result
Of the Infamous decision above cited,
echoes from Dan to Beersheba its thick
skulled appreciation Is though the fiat
werr i!nal.
Now brethren Of the press, the women
have q faw brief questions to ask. VIII
you answer?
First: Who make governments?
second: Who originally conferred the
right Of suffrage, ifit is not inherent?
Ihiri: Who in the United States are
entitled 10 voice in making States or
United States Constitutions
Fourth: 10 whom are they indebted
for that voice
Fifth: How did legal authority origi-
nate?
We have hundred more questions
that we long to ask, all bearing hard
upon the same topic, and we repeat our
query, will YOU answer

AN EXTRAORDINARY REVELATION
4 remarkable story is told i'm the
London Record, by a clergyman who
signs his name and vOuches for the
truth of what he says: 1t seems that the
minister of a certain parish died a wear
or so ago, appointing as his executors
two friends, both OF whom were adj
mirals in the British Navy, Among
his effects was bulky package, sealed
up carefully aud indOrsed, s'Inviolably
sacred; to be destroyed" After mature
dellberatiOn, the executors decided that.
as faithful trustees of what their friend
had left behind him, they could not
destroy anything without at least first
knowing what they were destroying. So
They opened the envelope and found
therein two documents, one of which
was dispensatiOn from the Pope, per-
mitting the deceased to retain his posi-
tiOn as a clergyman OF the Church of
England, though actually priest Of the
Church Of Rome; the other document
contained list of clergymen in the
same diocese or its vicinity, who were
in possession of similar dispensations,
and consequently to be relied on for
sympathy aud cooperation in case oil
necessity. IL this statement was not
made by well known and respectable
it would be set down as an
obvious attempt at imposition.

"PIAF JUsTITIA.r .

Tie Albany paper- bring the news
that Martin Luper, an old and iufiueu-
tial citizen of Linn county, has recently
LEFT for parts unknown, taking with him
some $4,000 in coin, having mOrtgaged
the farm, sold his wheat and made his
will, leaving his children, who are
mostly grown, well provided for. The
DcmOcrdT in noticing the act, says that
domestic troubles are supposed to be
the cause, but no blame can attach to
the children" thus leaving the world to
imagine that, Of course, the wife, who
is left destitute, is guilty of some crime
or indiscretion that justified her hus-
band in taxing the best energies of her
existence for years to rear his family
and amass his fortune, and now, when
health is broken and she needs ease
and luxury in her declining days, her
husband, in robbing her of the hard
earnings of "a lifetime does hisduty, while
she has DO redress but death.
We know Mrs. Luper well. We
know her to be 4 thorough-going,
economical, conscientious, domestic
farm house-keeper. We know that she
has drudged at the hardest and most
uncOngenial labor for years and years,
while her liege lord has fancied fine
horses, played the gentleman and had a
good time generally. We also know
that no just cause Of imputations against
her character can be entertained one
moment by the pure in heart. Her
step-chiidren, whom the generous father
has munifieently provided for i'm the
full vigor of their youth, while robbing
her for the purpose, have always loved
and honored her.
Now let us turn the tables for a mo-
ment. Suppose Mrs. Luper had alb
seconded with $4,000. She had more
moral right TO the money than her hus-
band, because she endured more hard
ship and privation TO amass it than he.
But this fact would have availed her
nothing, and not only would the press
have howled but the strong arm of the
law would have environed her with the
meshes of justice, and she would have
stood before the world convicted Of de-
falcatiOn, desertion and robbery.
There is no law in existence that will
punish Martin Luper. Women of Ore
gon, do you not see that the great object
for which you should work among law
makers, isnot to personally scourge some
man who does or has done these deeds
because Inc can or could, but that your
duty, rather, is TO urge them with zeal
which cannot be resisted, TO give women
equal voice with men in making laws,
that they may thus protect themselves.
Every day brings new proof that men
as a class will not protect women as a
class. That many men do nObly per-
form their seli-imposed task Of protec-
ton, according 10 their own theories,
does not by any means excuse the acts
OF the many, many more who fail.
Fiat .JUStifiu is our motto.

The relations of business and labor
are not relations of sentiment or char
ity, and if man thinks it desirable
that women should have a greater va
riety of occupations he does not thereby
become bound 10 hire any number of
women as laborers when he has no labor
for them to perform. II there are any
advocates of women's rights who con-
tend for more than justice toward wom-
en-, those advocates are mistaken. All
that society is bound to afford any OF its
members is a fair aud equal chance in
the battle Of life; and this is as true Of
women as il il Of men.
