yet, if it can be proven that she has
sinned, then she can be turned from her
home penniless. 1t is not recognized as
correct principle that departure from
virtue invalidates mans claim to that
which he rightly possesses, nor could
any proof that he has been living an i'm
pure life prevent him from obtaining
that which otherwise could be his. Then
why cast such a ponderous stone at a
womanis. A woman's dover is herTight,
but the most discreet woman could
scarcely obtain it, if an unprincipled
husband wished to deprive her of it.
Still, we would not be disposed to
grumble so badly, though it is cruel
and oppressive law, if it were not so en-
tirely one-sided. Whoever heard of a
man being reduced to indigence because
his wife no longer wished to live with
him on account of his incontinence
Truly, Consistency thou art a jeweln-
of the first water. MADGE BRIGHT.

THE CART BEFORE THE HORSE.

A correspondent says: 81 am astonished that
the NEW. NORTHWEST does not support Mr..
Dimick. Mrs. Duniway should certainly know
ance reformation the cause she advocates can
be advanced and sustained" Our correspond
ent must remember that the custom-house
pays that $1,000 to her "other'' half just for the
support she gives to the Republican party
Temperance Star.
With the sagacity common to people
of one idea, this tastonished corre-
spondent" has placed the cart before the
horse. The truth is, "Mrs. Duniway
certainly knows that it is only through
the success of the cause she advocates
that the temperance reformation can be
advanced and sustained" and she does
not propose to waste time and energy in
the attempt to uproot tree by Topping
off its topmost branches. Let Brother
Turner and his ''astonished correspond
entsn alone for that. AS to the rest, q
man who has so frequently sold out
cheap as has the brother mentioned
quite naturally looks upon $4,000 as 9
big thing to receive in exchange fol
principle, and remembering this we
cheerfully forgive his very uncharitable
estimate of our motives.

listen to the gurgling sounds of waters
which seemed struggling through an
outlet which we peered in vain into the
dense underground to discover. The
golden glories of sunset were upon one
hand, the quiet shadows of evening upon
the other, as we retraced our way over
the lake-the regular dip, dip, dip of the
oars falling with sound not inharmoni-
GUS, and soor bringing US to the point of
embarkation. The pleasant walk over
the track whence the coal engine had so
speedily borne US was soon terminated,
and after discussing plans for fishing
excursion on the bay for the morrow, we
retired to dream of Lake Union.
The pages at our side as before, warn
us to stay our pencil, and compel us to
reserve until another week, mention of
further incidents and observations of
our homeward journey. c. A. C.

Saturday evenings train brought us
to Jefferson, too late to fill a lecture en-
gagement for that evening, but dear
mother Roland made us welcome in her
little home-nest, where we rested from
our labors through the quiet autumn
Sabbath, meeting a goodly multitude in
evening at the Protestant Methodist
Church, Mr.. Longsworth pastor, where
we discoursed upon the temperance
problem, and where we are to speak to-
night (Monday) by request of citizens,
upon ga Week in Salt Lake City"
This little town, upon the banks of
the classic Santiam, is improving
rapidly in its business prospects this
season. Two new warehouses, of i'm
mense proportions, are being builded,
and a number of new dwellings are
anxiousIy hoped for by immigrants who
desire to locate here.
This evening, after the lecture, the
citizens are invited to unite with US in
discussion upon the woman question.
From here we are to go to Junction on
Tuesday, and from thence to Roseburg,
on our way to Marshfield and Empire
City. A.. J.D.

THE CAMPAIGN.

The political canvass of the State was
begun on the 18th inst, by the opposing
candidates, at Roseburg, and will be
concluded at Canyon City on the 21st of
October. Mr.. Warren's popularity in
creases in a manner suggestive of possi-
BILE triumph. The friends of Mr.. Lane,
realizing that vigorous action is neces-
sary to save that gentleman from de-
feat, are grinding out through their va
rious organs sounds intended to inspire
the Democratic rank and file with valor.
Mr.. Whitney, sometimes in the field
and sometimes out, vibrates in such a
manner as to keep his few supporters in
a state of tantalizing uncertainty, for
which the beggarly vote he will receive
will be but a doubtful compensation.
Mr.. Dimick-George Washington-like
his illustrious namesake, being unable
to tell a lie, does not pretend to declare
a belief in his own election, and is NOR
ally certain of but two votes-that of
Brother Turner and George Washington
d. aforesaid. An exchange thus ac-
counts for the dazed and uncertain man
ner of the last-named aspirant to Con-
gressional honors:
Mr.. Dimick, the temperance candidate, don't
know where to begin,.as he can not find the
anti-temperance candidate, and therefore does
not know just who his opponent is.
The Democrats are active and conf
dent, the Republicans somewhat inert,
the Independents stupid, and the item
perance" men bombastic. The fight is
really between the Republican and Dem
ocratic nominees, though perhaps the
other two candidates may draw enough
votes from the former to insure the cleo
tion of the latter, which is all they or
the wire-pullers who placed them in
nomination ever hoped or intended to do
Colonel Thomas II. Cam informs US
that he was not member of the con-
vention that nominated Mr.. Dimick for
the Office of Democratic scape-goat. He
(Mr. c. was and is opposed to the idea
of running a temperance political can
didate, and so far from aiding or abet-
ting the silly programme of the Temper
orce Star, he is thoroughly disgusted
with it.
The Salem Mercury is soon to be is
sued as daily campaign paper in the
interests of Mr.. Lane.
The Salem Statesman is making a
valiant fight for the election of the Re-
publican nominee for Congress.
The State Rights Democrat, of Albany,
is jubilant over the fancied prospects of
a Democratic victory.

son, of Portland Central School, upon
the subject, f'Three Days in California
Public Schools, " which was fuIl of in
terest and valuable suggestions for
teachers.
The Vice President then read one OF
Charles Dickens beautiful poems.
Rev. T. Condor, of Forest Grove, en-
tertained the audience in his usual in
struetive and interesting manner upon
the subject" Working Forces of the
School-room-Normal and Abnormal"
This lecture was one of the finest things
of the whole session.
]. R. Buff, critic for the day, favored(?)
the audience with report which he
was an hour in delivering, and in which
he said absolutely nothing that critic
should have said, or indeed any one else
who pretended to be gentleman.
The morning session of the last day
was opened by prayer by DR.. Atkinson;
and after little special business, d. V.
S. Reid, of Albany, spoke upon the sub
ject, Fundamental Rules of Arithme-
tic" and Mr.. Condor, Mrs. Adair and
others participated in the discussion
resulting.
P. S. Knight, of Salem, entertained
the Institute in an acceptable manner
for some time on the subject, "Object-
Teaching" illustrating his favorite sci
ence, ornithology.
A discussion upon physical Culture
being taught in Schools" was ably
discussed at some length, and was fol-
lowed by well-written and well-read
essay by Miss Spaulding, of Portland,
upon the subject, "What Constitutes a
Good Recitation ?''
The afternoon session opened by rec
itation by Miss Carpenter, of Salem,
which was beautifully given.
The President read well prepared
paper upon "BIoods of the Verb" and
some discussion rose among the mem
bers from the position he took, Mrs
Cooke speaking on the subject.
J. T. Gregg, of Salem Public Schools
read paper on "School Government"
fnII of good and practical ideas.
The principal features of the evening
session, were a lecture by Professor
Warren, of Albany, upon the subject
"What Next,D and by Rev. ]. Emery,
of Corvallis, upoh "Moral Culture"
Both were finely written and we'll
delivered.
After beautiful anthem, awake the
Song of Jubilee" and little more final
business, the Institute adjourned to the
Chemeketa, where social intercourse
and good supper claimed the attention
of the guests until a late hour.
Altogether, the Institute was.a grand
success; was we'll attended by the citi-
zens of Salem and other towns, and all
seemed to enjoy themselves.
I apprehend the last delegation would
feel a little blue, if it could hear the
opinion so freely expressed by all the
members and others of the Institute,
that said Institute was the most intel
ligent body that ever had met or ever
would meet in the Legislative Hall at
Salem. 1 firmly believe the assertion,
however startling, and only feel sorry
that we as a body did not adopt a resolu-
tion to that effect. NUMBER Two.

LETTER FROM SALEM.

To THE EDITOR OF THE NEW NORTHWEST:
I find the following extraordinary
item of congratulation in the local col
umns of the Portland Bulletin of recent
date:
Mr.. Tom Johnson, ex-fireman of Columbian
Engine Company No. 3, in this city, but now a
resident of San Francisco, has three several
times been made a father, but 10! each time it
a daughter. He bore up against these az
fietions very manfully, Notwithstanding the
fact that he was very desirous of having an
heir, and now the tact reaches us by telegraph
| that his fcndest anticipations have been. real
lied, and that he is now the papa of fine
young son. His cup of happiness is full to the
brim, and feeling confident that his quOndam
friends will rejoice with him, he hastens to ap-
prise them of the news by telegraph.
From time immemorial, if we are to
believe the records, sacred and profane,
that have come down to US from that
dim, far-distant, shadowy time, woman
has by man been looked upon as being
created chiefly to pander to mans tastes
and pleasures, and to obey his behests.
And though each recognized the fact
that woman was for these reasons a very
necessary part in the economy of nature,
yet do the fathers of daughters almost
universally deplore their advent, and
support the bitter disappointment of
their sex only by being upheld by SYM
pathy and coincidence. How, indeed,
could one help but pity the poor, heir
less father, whose expectant ears had
'severa1 times" been greeted with the
birth-wail of "only daughter
Custom has decreed that none but
sons can transmit the famous name of
''Tom Johnson to his posterity, hence
if sons perversely fail to be born, or be-
ing born, are so inconsiderate as to die,
the name of 'TTom johnson" would per-
chance forever to earth be lost. The
birth of his daughters is regarded in. the
light of grievous afliction, which, for
the dignity of his manhood, it IS
thought necessary to proclaim that he
''bore up under manfully." Had death
claimed them at their birth, it is posi-
BILE a welcome funeral would have been
given them, and the "affiiotion" have
been considered remarkably light, but
that girls should several times'i usurp
the place that was waiting for the son
and nheir'' was an ''affiietion" requir-
ing extra effort ito bear up under"
"Tom Johnson is in this particular
not an isolated specimen of fatherhoQd.
No. He receives the earnest sympathy
of multitude of fathers who regard the
birth of daughters as an afflietiOn, the
birth of sons with pride. Had fathers
now the same kind of regard for their
| daughters that they have for their sons,
the former would be equal heirs with
the latter in all things.
Hoping that ''affiicted Tom Johnsons'
in every locality may be enabled by COM
mon sense and right and justice to bear
up "manfully" under their afiiictionsin
future, I am as ever yours,
Mrs. J. A. JOHNS,
Salem, September 5, 1875,

The editor of the Temperance Star has
his pledge carefully pastedin his scrap
book" and doubtless hopes, by keeping
it constantly before him, to be able to
elect Dimick. If he would place to-
bacco pledge beside it, and find grace
sufficient to keep the same invioIate, he
would present a much more respectable
figure as q Temperance" man, while
his exhortations to poor weak brethren
to 'control their appetites" would be
much more seemly, to say nothing Of
the vastly improved condition and ap.
pearance Of the spittoons in the office
from whence he sends out paper advo.
eating temperance reform.

SOMETHING ABOUT DIVORCES.

To THE EDITOR OF THE New NORTHWEST:
Taking up late number of the Chi
cago Times, my attention was arrested
by the decision given in one of our noted
divorce cases. Now, IN general, dis
like the subject of divorces, and dislike
to hear of them; for nothing in my eyes
can be so sacred and binding as the sweet
and solemn marriage vows. Yet, as men
are not always perfect, and women, we
are sorry to own, sometimes conduct
themselves most unseemly, the Gordian
knot must now and then be severed. In
this particular case, which is similar to
hundreds of others, it seems that Mr.. B.
sued for bill of. enforcement upon a
charge that Mrs. B. was untrue to the
marriage vow. He obtained the bill by
the aid of doubtful witnesses, and Mrs
B. was thereby deprived of all right or
dover in the property of which she was
possessed. Shades of departed justice !
What a law it is that gives man the
privilege, if he desires to be rid of his
wife, and is too mean to willingly divide
their property, of reducing her to beg
gary if he can but ruin her character!
This law is not only unjust, but un-
merciful; and if all our laws were
founded upon the same principle,
who could feel that he had firm hold
upon his hard earnings? Only those
who never depart from the straight path
of rectitude. In the majority of cases,
the property has been acquired by the
united efforts of both husband and wife,
] and part of it is rightfully the woman'si
