MISS ANTHONY's TRIAL.

After an infinite amount of judicial
shystering, an ignorant jury was at last
impaneled in Ontario county, New
York, for the purpose Of going through
with the farce Of trial before a Judge
already pledged against the defendant.
After the able arguments of the defense
in answer TO the charges of the prosecu-
tion had been heard, the Judge instructed
the jury to find Miss Anthony guilty as
charged in the Indictment, and refused
to poll the jury. Such a ruling was
never given to but one other jury in an
important case, and that was in the case
of George Francis Train, whose trial is
another Of the many proofs that men
are not capable of self-government, be-
cause they cannot govern each other.
But we have great fault to find with
Miss Anthony's sentence It is alto
gether too light. If she was really
guilty OF illegal voting and the majesty
of the law can be appeased by paltry
fine of one hundred dollars, woe, woe to
masculine supremacy There were
fourteen other participants, and fifteen
into one hundred gives the insignificant
sum of SO 66;, as the price Of a great
National crime against the majesty Of
the law. The fact is, the whole thing is
a farce, through and through. Susan
has applied for new trial, and will
carry the case to the Supreme Court be-
fore she is done with it.
We do not agree with some of our
contemporaries who say that the Wom-
an Movement will lose by this agita-
ton. There is great danger that the
Republican party will lose by it, how
ever, but we're willing to do as much in
this great National war Of principles as
did Artenus Ward when he offered TO
sacrifice all his wife's relations, if neces-
sary, TO sustain government for the
people and by the people.

CHATS WITH CONTRIBUTORS.

We are pleased indeed to be able TO
once more resume the publication Of our
correspondents Column OF course
our friends will understand that after
so long an interval it will be impossible
TO answer everybody's letter as we could
wish, so we say respectfully that if any
ones claims are overlooked, if such will
write again, we shall be happy to give
attention to their queries or demands.
Sarah \. H.: There are all sorts of de-
signs for spring and summer goods in
market. We notice in the shop win
dows of our leading merchants some
very attractive novelties in dress goods.
Linens, lawns, organdies, pereales,
piques and summer alpacas are fashion,
able. Grenadines in black, all wool,
are very durable. They can also be
found in silk and wool and in wool and
cotton, or all cotton, though the latter
is not durable.
Susan c.: Your japanese poplin can
be matched. 1t will take is yards TO
make such suit as you desire.
"Gipsey" writes: 'I am so glad, Mrs.
D., to learn that we are TO have the
New NORTHWEST once more. Now,
maybe you can tell me how to make up
my new grenadine suit. / have twelve
yards only, and yet want it fashiona-
bly, but cheaply made" Get ten yards
OF black linen lining at fifty cents pei
yard. Cut skirt and polonaise Of this
material and cover the polonaise with
the grenadine, plain, edged with Yak
lace. Make ruffies of grenadine upon
the linen skirt, ruffling the front
breadth all the way up, and the other
breadths to where they will meet the
polonaise. Sleeves shaped to the arm
below the elbow and finished with a
broad ruflle, edged with the lace. You
will find your pattern scant, but by
careful cutting you may make it do.
Molly writes: "How shall 1 wear my
hair? I've tried to fl ii dozen times
in some new-fangled way, but don't
succeed at all to my liking" Well,
Molly, you're in the same category with
ourself. The prevailing mode OF hair
dressing brings all the braids, pufs,
curls, etc, that you can buy, beg or pill
fer high upon the top of your head and
pins them there, though by just what
sort of freak of ledgerdemain we have
not yet discovered. Perhaps some OF
our lady friends will enlighten US.
s. \. c.: Yes. Two shades of brown
are very fashionable, made up in suit.
You can have it in linen, lawn or al.
paca. The summer styles of bonnets
will be out next week, but we doubt
whether there will be any particular
change from the present fashions You
can have a hat or bonnet made upon
the same frame. The difference is in
Fnfs. ~.

LETTER FROM LAFAYETTE.

LAFAYETTE, Ogn., June %, 1878.
Dear Mrs. Dtnii0dy:-I rejoice to see
"the bright, crisp pages of your Journal
for the People" after its siesta, but you
ought to see the elongated visages of a
few of the enemies Of Woman's Enfran-
chisement, whom you score so merci-
lessly sometimes, and. who had hoped
that your journal would never again
breathe its proud defiance of the public
opinion you believe to be wrong, or the
hearty denuneiation of that which
breeds corruption among the sons and
daughters of women.
But it seems that you are determined
to be always in broil. Hardly had the
smoke of your last battle in this vicinity
died away in the distance before you
startle US all by calling upon Senator
Mitchell, in the face of the most unan-
imOus public opinion to the contrary, to
repent of all the wrong he has done to
woman; or, if he has repented, to make
his life one grand atonement for the
HEOuSo vi dlA hOLucus IhC Nonoh
Suffragists of this vicinity were ex-
tremely anxious to see what you would
have to say about Mitchell, and con-
fess L was astonished to see that even
you would dare to so much as hint, in
this immaculate world, that it was pos
sible for any man, whom newspaper
reporters had so covered with infamy,
to even aspire to one single act OF resti-
tuition. Our Pharisees are very prop
erly shocked. One man, who, by the
way, is an opponent of Woman Suffrage,
said in my parlor: ''No virtuous woman
will accept the ballot, if she has to get
il through the vote of a man with such
record. Mrs. Duniway's exhOrtatiOn
is monstrous."
''Did you never do anything worse
than TO exhort sinners TO deeds of re-
pentance ?r said lady present. Thens

THE WOMAN SUFFRAGIsTs.

Our friend Crandall, Of the Salem
Stdtesla0n, says that Susan B. An
thony sis one of those irrepressible be-
ings who can never wait for the logic OF
events towork outdestiny," but thinks"
upon the whole, ''that he should regret
itexceedinglyD if she should Ego to Sing
Sing;;" but he isn't certain, for he has
little sympathy with people who OBJ
stinately tempt fate"
Well, brother Crandall, somebody
must break the phalanx OF prejudice
and "make way for Liberty ever by
facing the very Jaws OF danger with
only the slimmest chance for escape" +"
So thought and acted men who framed
the Declaration of Independence which
precipitated the whole country into a
bloody revolution. You to-day would
be enduring taxation without represen-
tation, tyrannous as is such regula-
ton, had your ancestors been ''content to
wait for changes" in laws that might
or might not come Of popular agita-
tion." Miss Anthony had no desire to
manifest contempt of mans Injustice
and tyranny by defying law and chal-
longing retribution." She believed and
knew that, under the law, she had the
right Of citizenship. Eminent counsel
so assured her, and 1t was to test this
that she voted and will vote again.
Says Crandall, "They who govern must
first learn to be governed In his OWL
language we answer "you make us larf.'
If women have not been and are not yet
gOueracd, who are? One would think
they were set Of political pirates, try
ing to board the Ship of State like out
laws when they read such stuff as this
'If they cannot and will not respect the
laws, who will be persuaded to entrus
them with the law-making power =?
Doubtless so thought King George, bu
the eternal principles ut stake nerveC
men and women to deeds of herOism fo
which all the world now honors thei
memory, although wise, conservative
journals, like the Statesman, doubtless
said then as now, "When will agitatOr
learn to be wise and polite?" Trl
again, brother Crandall, try again.

followed a lengthy dissertation upon
woman's sphere, as usual, but / could
see no point to what he said but this:
awe intend to place Mitchell beyond
the pale of future usefulness. The
louder we howl against him the more
immaculate the world will consider us.
True, he is our Senator, and we can't
help it till his term is out, but no mat
ter. We must keep our own garments
white"
Somehow, was forcibly reminded OF
remark 1 once heard you make. 1t
was number of years ago and you We're
keeping boarders, doing your own
housekeeping and teaching school. A
very UNPLEASANT social matter was being
bruited through the town, and when it
came to your ears, with the usual
virtuperative denunciation of Christian
women, you said, contrasting the teach
inps of Jesus of Nazareth with the prac-
tiees of the church, 'If Christ himself
were to come back to earth and preach
his own doctrines, his pretended follow
ers would cruelty him." The remark
was just like you, but it was true; and
though it cost you few scholars, which
your friends we'll knew you could poorly
afford to lose, it helped to stay the in
dignation of over-excited public opin-
ion, and the individual against whom
the tide had set so strongly is to-day one
of our most respectable and exemplary
citizens.
Now, dear NEW NORTHWEST, do
not know that these "reminiscences will
be at all acceptable to you or your
readers, neither do care to have my
influence go forth in extenuatiOn of the
crimes of any man, however exalted his
position, but this much do say: We
as Christians, while resolutely opposing
vice and immortality, must extend all
possible encouragement to those who
have erred to repent and atone, or We
cruelty the Son of Man afresh and put
him to open shame While we de-
nounce in every way the reprehensible
acts of Mitchell the man, it is Mitchell
the Senator with whom the people Of
Oregon now have to deal, and 1 am glad
that you have brains enough to see the
, fact and courage enough to accept it.
As some of your opponents have q
, naughty way of accusing you, or your
sisters, of writing everything in relation
, to yourself or your work that appears in
the papers, please assure them that L
the writer-am not your sister, nor
yourself, but instead an humble CO.

notOriety, usually subscribe myself

The Gazette lfodicale de Paris chron-
icles the entrance of women into a new
occupation, namely, that of druggists.
The School of Industry in Amsterdam,
which was estat tlished in 1869 by the
Society Of Public Usefulness, has al
ready fitted five young women for the
profession of pharmacy, and seven
Others are studying in order TO enter the
same business. This new idea has set
the Germans TO thinking; they have
been puzzled as to what they should do
with their superfluous women; and So
cieties, which have been provided to
"obtain means for the existence OF
women in that country, are about unit
ing in petition the Federal Council
praying that women may be allowed TO
follow the profession of druggist or dis
pensing chemist. 1t seems there is
great need of apothecaries in Germany,
as many little towns have not one drug
store IN the neighborhood, and this new
scheme will be OF service TO the women
J ana to the community.

stitueney already barthened to their
capacity of eH,s.sraIice indeed, We in
cline greatly to the opinion that to
such would be promptly said, "be no
longer officer Of mine"
With all the arguments urged by the
friends of the Free railroad law fresh
I'm our minds we unficEitaiingly de-
clare il as our judgement that its pas
sage will esfop the future construction
OF any other rail road i'm Virginia.
Capital is very sensitive and will hard
" be placed in the construction of any
road which may lie at any time absorb
ed by Maj. Suthcrlin and any four
other naturals in the state.
II is perfectly clear that the Penn.
sylvanians do not mean to construc'
any railroad through Southwest Vir-
ginia, else with the East Teen. d Ga.
road under its control it would build
the Norfolk d Great Western road to
Norfolk, as once it promised TO do
thereby bringing the Pacific by their
Southern Pacific road and its Eastern
connections in contact with Norfolk
by a route shorter and of easier grades
than any that is afforded north Of Vir-
ginia. Their real object is to reduce
the A. NJ. & D. road as far as Burk-
Vile under their control and at that
point TO make through route North
ward to New York. II they fail IN
this, they will toy the help OF the w.
Carolina road attain the same object to
the detrlment of all our present inter
ests. In 10 event will these people
ever build the much desired Cumber-
land Gap ROad-for the simple reason
that it would damage already existing
connections, more available and conse-
qucntly more profitable 10 the Penn
sylvania railroad company.
The only hope for the construction
Of this road lies in the A. NJ. & o.
company; and it does appear to US
that it would not be well to cripple
the only agent from whom we can ev-
er expect to realize our wishes and we
can hardly realize moro difficult I'M
dertaking than to pacify the public,
when in grabbing at shadow We have
lost the substance.
