A dispatch from New York, under
date of the 4th inst, gives the follow
ing account of the escape from Ludlow
Jail of William NJ. Tweed:
William NJ. Tweed has escaped from
Ludlow Jail. A dispatch received at
the police headquarters this evening
stated that William NJ. Tweed had lust
escaped from the custody of Warden
Durham, of Ludlow-street Jail. Word
was Immediately telegraphed to every
police station in this city, Brooklyn,
and the neighboring cities, notifying
the police to be on the lookout. Warden
Durham subsequently called on In
spector Dix, at the police central office,
and stated that he had accompanied the
prisoner to the residence of Mrs. Tweed,
Madison avenue and 59th street, and
while there, Tweed had requested per-
mission to see his wife privately. Dun
ham unhesitatinglyg granted the request,
ana Tweed went up stairs to his wife's
rooms, leaving one of his SONS to enter
tain Durham and the deputy. After
waiting about ten minutes, Dunham
became uneasy, and sent young Tweed
upstairs to tell his father to come
down Immediately, as they desired
to return to Jail in short time.
The young man returned and in
formed Durham his father had gone.
Durham at once searched the house,
but no trace of the Boss could be found.
Leaving the deputy in charge of the
house, Durham hurried to the residence
of Sheriff COnnor and informed him of
the escape. The police authorities were
promptly notified, and the central office
detectives at once went out securing
the city in all directions. The police
are Of opinion that Tweed passed out of
the front basement door and was taken
to Sixth street and East River, where
he embarked in a small steam vessel,
The bonds of the sheriff for the proper
and faithful performance of his duties
are for $4,000, and those Of the warden
are $4,000.

SENATOR MITCHELL.

The NEW NORTHWEST (Mrs. Duniway's pa
peri says "Senator MitchelPs trip through
Eastern Oregon was both pleasure and profit
TO the citizens of that portion of our common
wealth, who everywhere testified their appre-
citation of his efforts in their behalf bv warm
and enthusiastic greetings. One of the mani
fest results Of his visit to that locality is seen
in the lessened majority which those counties
gave the Democratic candidate in the late elec-
ton. We join his many friends in wishing
him safe, pleasant and speedy transit across
the continent" All of which we entirely agree
with, except that Zone OF the manifest results
Of his visit to that locality is seen in the les
sened majority which those counties gave "
Hon. l. F. Lane. This we consider an attack
upon the hospitability of our people who re-
ceived the Senator, not as Republican, but as
one holding a responsible position, and who
could and had done us much good. Mr.
Mitchell did not travel through Eastern Ore
gon as politician, and we doubt if he would
approve of illusions to his trip as having a DO
litical significance. The decreased majority in
Eastern Oregon for the Democratic candidate
is TO be attributed to sort of political lethargy
into which people have fallen, and not to any
extraordinary action by any Republican, either
ofice-holder or rcandidate.-[East Oregonian.
We do not assert that Senator Mitch
ell travelled through Eastern Oregon at
the time specified as ga politician" but
reiterate our belief that one of the re-
suits of his visit was as stated. He
might not have opened his lips upon
political questions to his most intimate
friends, but his presence could not fail
to be reminder of the efficient service
he had rendered the people of that To-
cality as compared with what Demo-
cratic Senators have ever done for them;
and in the election then pending it was
but natural that they should desire to
secure a member in the lower house
who would cordially second the plans of
Mr.. Mitchell. Hence the decreased
majority for the Democratic candidate"

NATURAL LEADERS.

1t is said that women should be as
signed to subordinate positions in life,
because they are not natural leaders;
and further, that without a reversal of
of the laws Of nature, women can never
be leading force in the government.
Now, in the first place, when we reflect
that very few men are natural leaders,
the masses always being led by the few;
and further, that women have not only
always shown the ability to govern, but
In numerous Instances have governed
nations successfully and brilliantly, we
doubt this doctrine of ability to govern
or lead being based on sex. Women
there have been in every civilized na-
tion that has given its record to his
tory, who have participated in politics,
openly if customs and laws permitted,
covertly if their influence could not be
brought to bear otherwise. Hence it is
clear that here is a great perversion of
nature, or that there are among women,
as among men, leading spirits, whom it
is perversiOn of nature to keep n the
background-nay, who cannot be kept
entirely in the background by any
means yet brought to bear upon them.
1t is wholly unnecessary to adduce
proof to show that this governing talent
exists in women, as all will acknowl-
edge that there have been women who
have possessed the most valuable polit-
ical talents. If, however, we should
concede that women are not natural
leaders, we would still see no reason
why they should not be allowed to
choose their leaders. The class of men
and they are in large majority-who
possess none of the elements that stamp
them as leaders, choose those whom
they wish to lead them, or at least give
expression to their preference concern
ing whom they shall be. Any one pos
sessed of reason, conscience, and COM
mon sense is, or should be, entitled to
declare this preference at the ballot-box.
Inasmuch as voting requires the exer-
else of mind, instead of muscle, women
should help make the laws, and elect
the rulers they are required to obey.

PREsIDENT,s MESSAGE.


The seventh h'annuaI message of Presi-
dent Grant was submitted to Congress
on Tuesday. The President gives sta
tistics Of the growth of the nation in
population, manufactures, mining in
terests, and commerce during the GEN.
tury, and points with pride to our
progress in all of the learned professions
during the same period; refers vaguely
to dangers threatening our national
prosperity and happiness; declares it to
be of the utmost Importance that all
should be possessed of intelligence and
education enough to cast vote with a
right understanding of its meaning, and
to this end earnestly recommends to the
consideration of Congress that a consti-
tutiOnal amendment be submitted to the
legislatures of the several States for rat
ification, making it the duty of each
State to establish and forever maintain
free public schools, adequate to the edu-
cation of all the children within their
limits, irrespective of sex, birthplace,
or religion, forbidding the teaching in
the said schools religious, atheistic, or
pagan texts, and the application of
school funds to any other object. At
tention is also called to the vast ac-
emulation of untaxed church property.
The amount of such property in the ma
ton the present year is S1,OOO,OOO, 700,
and if it continues to increase as in the
past without check will amount by the
close of the century to three times as
much as this. To remedy the evils that
will surely grow from the exemption of
such vast amount of property from
taxation, it is suggested that all prop
erty, whether church or corporation, be
taxed equally, exempting only the last
resting-places of the dead, and possibly,
with proper restrictions, church edifices.
Our relations with foreign powers con-
tinue on satisfactory and friendly foot
ing. Questions with Spain have been
amicably adjusted by the settlement of
the "Virginius" affair, that govern
ment having promptly paid the amount
demanded by the United States for the
relief of persons of the ships crew, and
certain passengers of the same. The
Cuban question is discussed at length;
but we shall not attempt further syn
opsis of its statements.
The message generally cannot fail to
meet the approval of the men of the ma
tion, and while the women could have
wished for a recommendation to the
of Congress a constitu-
tional amendment bestowing upon
them the fraudulently-withheld right of
suffrage, they knew the President had
not sufficient moral courage to do them
Justice; consequently were not disap-
pointed.
