It has long been the custom Of the Leg
islature To vote to each officer and mem-
Der six daily newspape or their equiv
alent in weeklies, during the session, al
the expense of the State. On the present
alton of the usual resolution, Messrs. r..
gems and Grecning voted in the negative.
We are pleased with this vote and we he
lieve that it will he well received by the
VOTERS of this county. Newspapers are
voted to members upon the. theory that
they need the means or ascertaining the
news and the wants of the State, and that
being employees merely, they SHOULD be
furnished with I'LL necessary appliances
for their work. This is correct, but. the
practice has not been limited to the ne
ccssities Of the case. Three dailies, or
their equivalent in weeklies afford all the
news facilities required by Legislators
for ordinary purposes, and they ought to
content themselves with that number.

The proposition of General Sheridan,
orer which there is such howl, is so
scandalously misreprescnted, that it may
be we'll to refer to it again. In his dis
patel, to the Secretary ct War, he said:
II think the terrorism now existing in
Louisiana, Mississippi, and Arkansas,
could be entirely removed and confidence
and fair-dealing established by the arrest
and trial of the ringlcadcrs of the armed
White Leasuers. If Congress would pass
a bill declaring them bandit,i, they
could be tried by military commission.
The leaders of this banditti, who murder.
ed men here on the 14th Of September,
and more recently at Vicksbnrg, Miss !.
should. in justice to law and order and
the peace and prosperity of this southern
part Of the country, be punished.
Here then. is what is SO furiously de.
nounced. And what is there in this that
should excite so much fury? Under the
enforcement act. the men who commit
these outrngcs can be punished, though
the recent decisions of the coults and an
oversight in framing the law would make
this tcdis u and expensive. But why OBJ
ject that Sheridan advises the enforce.
ment Of this law: II His second propo-
sition is that Congress shall pass a bill
declaring the ringleaders of the White
League banditti, and thus provide for
their trial by military commission. This
is 4 suggestion, and only 4 Suggestion.
AS we said day or two since, it would
perhaps he better to retain t e forms Of
law, and accomplish the same thing
through the re enactment of. the Kuklux
act which has expired, but We are not Ut
all sure that General Shcridan's plan
mav not be at last the only etfectual one.
But what is there so horrible abou.
this proposal? What is there to set tim.
id Congressman to auaking, ard social
ed Republican newspapers to hurting
swift rebukes At the gallant little hero If
the Sl,enardO4ils Has the country gone
mad that it docs dot see the inevitable
outcome of this. daliia1ce With violence!

LETTER PROM ROsEBURe.

To THE EDITOR OF THE NEW NORTHWEST:
Owing to the truth of the old maxim
that tOomdT's work is never done, | have
not until the present time had an oppor-
tunity of offering to you an excuse for
not attending your recent lectures in
Roseburg. Sickness in the family was
all which possibly could have prevented
me from being present. However, de-
sire to say that it is admitted by all that
the cause is steadily gaining ground,
and that, too, among the most respecta-
BILE class of our citizens. 1t has long
past been pet argument of the Oppo-
nents of equal rights, that when women
asked for the ballot, they, our legal SOW
ereigns, were willing to extend it. In
our present situation we must accept
this courtesy so generously proffered,
while in our innermost hearts we loathe
so humiliating a proposition, and deny
in the abstract their right to give, and
would answer back as did our fathers
the foes of freedom across the Atlantic.
''These are our rights, and none but ty-
rants would deny them to u.s." The no
blest of men throughout the entire
world to-day are willing, not to give US
the right of suffrage, but to correct their
own errors and the error of their gov
ernment, and henceforth guarantee to
all persons irrespective of sex those
rights so long wrongfully denied to
woman. 1t is my belief that if the
proposition to-day were submitted to a
vote of the women of this county, it
would carry by a three-fourths majority,
A few years more of such faithful and
energetic labor as you are now bestow-
ing in behalf of humanity, and the foes
of equal rights will be found taking ref
uge behind platforms based on impair
tial suffrage. To-day, in almost every
farm dwelling throughout the entirt
country, the cause finds a friend. II
every school district, in every city anC
town, brave and true defenders are ris
ing up. Few, if any, to-day deny tht
Justice of our claim in the abstract, bu
fear it bad policy. Such, you well re
member, was the argument used in tn,
the great slavery question, which finally
shook the nation from center to circum
ference. But the true friends of freedom
urged strongly that that which wa
right in the abstract, would not be dan
gerous in policy. So says every tru
friend of equal rights to-day.

LETTER FROM THE DALLBs.

To THE EDITOR OF THE NEW NORTHWEST:
1 have received six numbers of your
valuable paper of November 5th, in
which you re-publish by request an ar
ticle relative to the agricultural pros

an interesting letter, is not the one to

you about it, that being, if my memory
serves me correctly, entitled ga Trip up

still think, the best description of the
scenery of our beautiful river that 1
have ever seen in print from any pen.

on account of the growing interest in
the region described, was anxious to
have other copies to send to friends
