ACCORDING TO the Martins Ferry McWs,
last Saturday night was u lively time
along the Ohio shore at and between
Bridgeport and that place. 1t says that
combination of circumstances occurred
to make that night 4 remarkable one "fOr
riot, bebauClery and crime in Martins
Ferry and Bridgeport" Referring to the
scenes alluded to by the Nc,s, the Barnes.
vile Enterprise of yesterday expresses the
opinion that "the towns along the river
are in a sad condition" The Enterprise
ought to know what that expression
means after It's recent comments on the
beer business in Barnesyile, II thinks
crime is becoming "alarmingly frequent
along the waters edge in this vicinity.
Here is its summary;
"Thcit, burglary, riot and other moro
deba'ing crimes arc the order Of the
limes. Some Of these resemble more the
degradation Of SUdom than we should ex.
pect to find anywhere In the civilization
Of the nineteenth century. Scarcely n
day passes but we read OF some things
transpiring that cause feeling Of dis.
gust with our race to gill OH minds. It
Is evident that cleansing process Of
some kind Is necessary to be put In force,
and that speedily, II Bridgeport and Mar.

The Enterprise Is unnecessarily apprc.
hcnsivc about the condition Of society
among our neighbors on the Ohio side Of
the river The occurrence Of crime
among them Is mot so frequent or 80 afro.
cious as tocall for such desponding com.

calculated to cast a species Of rcproach
on the entire community in which II oc.

guage that is not very high toned. We
gave specimens yesterday OF what the

fore. The ancient Allen did not descend
TO any improprietics Of speech on thai
occasion. But up at stcnbenvillc, tho day

seems that he was frequently interrupted
by Gen, Reynolds, one Of the JncksOniar
Democrats, who had been imbibing pret'

prolane--said he was n farmer and paid
$3.50 taxes, when the Governor, losing
patience, roared out, "D-n your taxes
The chairman requested Reynolds to
keep quiet, and order was restored.
The paper in which we find this state

guagc Of the Governor, and deplOres the
TACT that he should so far have forgotten
what was due to himself and his audi
cncc, although, it, says, "thc provocotions
and interruptions were cxaspcrNtlng.'
II notifies the Governor that "no man
can advance his cause in stcubenyillc by
iolulgiug in profanity"
Governor Allen is too old Il man to be
going round the country using profanc
language. As somebody has said, he
ought not to be going round nj all, lie
ought to be at home getting ready TO die,
But ii seems that the old fellow has been

SAN FRANcIsCo, September 2,-The
relection returns show big ma aiority fOr
the Democrats. They have elected the
State ticket by large majority.
The State election is conceded to Irwin
and the Democratic ticket by large plu-
rality. The later indications are that
Wigertor leads HOughton for Congress in
the Fourth District, Piper is thought to
be ahead in the First District, with close
fight between Swift and Pariu. Sutrell
is probably elected in the Third District.
Returns from the Legislative tickets are
meagIe, but the Democrats will undoubt-
edly have a plurality in both Houses, ii
not majority.
The recent authoritative assurance Of
speedy reOpening OF the Bank Of Cali.
fornia has had an excellent effect on
business prospects. The Executive Board
Of Brokers to-day appointed a business
meeting Of the Board for tomorrow to
consult on a resumption OF business. A
great feeling Of confidence prevails.

The court of inquiry in thecase Of the

mildly censuring the captain for not
putting into Honolulu, attributing the
inception Of the disease to the insutli-

the subsequent mortality to the refusal
OF the crew to eat vegetables. Eleven
witnesses were examined on the side OF
the captain, and only four colored sea-

retary Cowen have been advised from WASH

fled Mr.. Delano that his resignation was

Interior were, that John Delano had been
detected IN some corrupt transactions SO con-

Secretary must have become aware of them,

VICTOR HUGO has declared in favor of wo-
man suffrage. In letter addressed to the
French Society which has that interest in
view he says: ''Man has been the problem of
the eighteenth century, woman is the prob
lem of the nineteenth; and to say woman is
to say child, that is to say the future. The
question thus put appears in all its gravity.
1t is in its solution that lies the supreme So
cial appeasal Woman can do all for man
nothing for herself The laws are imprudent
to make her so feeble when she is so powerful.
Let us recognize that feebeness and protect
it /; let us recognize that power and direct it.
There lies the Guty of man; there lies also his
interest. I do rot tire of saying the problem
is put; it must be solved. Whoever bears a
part of the burden ought to have part of
the priv ileges. Half of the human race is
outside equality; it must be made to reenter.
1t will be one of the great glories of our great
country to give the rights of the woman as a
couuterbalance to the rights of man-that is
to say, to put the laws il equilibrium with the
customs"

THE strong minded woman has invaded
Borneo and the good old times are forever at
an end in that island. The circumstances at
tending the apparition are calculated tc awak-
en- the hearty indignation Of every man who
has self-eespect enough to stand up for his
marital rights. A native chief, name not CIV
en-, felt that his end was approaching, and ia
accordance with custom gave orders that i'm
mediately on his decease his two wives should
be killed in order that they might accompany
him to the other world. The wives, forgetful
of their VOWS, and moved by that spirit of
opposition to husbaudly wishes which has
grown so fearfully common of late, declined
to take the journey. When the command
was reiterated they fled to Dutch fort, and
placed themselves under the protection of
a man avho apas not their husband. Their
lord and master is naturally incensed, has
rallied his friends about him, and is going to
assault the fort. This painful family differ
ence has caused profound sensation in
Borneo, and people mutually fear that the
verv foundations of society are being under
mined.
