WHO IS TO BE PRESIDENT 2

This question continues to be anxious
ly asked and is yet answered only by
vague conjecture. "Do tell US who is
elected ?n writes sojourner in a lonely
district in Eastern Oregon. "Who is
elected ?n ask the children as we unfold
the morning paper, and sean its tedious
kilograms, no wiser for the scrutiny.
"Who is elected ?" ask anxious Office
holders of each other, and the question
is echoed by would-be office-holders,
doubly anxious. And so it goes all over
the city, State and nation, partizans
betraying an anxiety that bellies their
feigned security in the result, everybody
asking an all-absorbing question which
none are wise enough to answer. The
count in the meantime goes slowly on
in the erewhile if not now rebel States;
questions of ineligibiIity of electors in
various localities are sprung; assertion
follows contradiction and contradiction
treads upon the heels of assertion and
each travels upon the wings of light
ming back and forth and all over the
Continent, and still the question o.
"Who will be the next President of the
United States ?r remains unanswered
We still hold to the opinion expressed
last week, that Hayes will be the man
and will continue to hold it unless tht
counting of the votes in the Electora
College causes US to change it.

SOUTH CAROLINA.

Things are boiling in South Carolina.
A dispatch of the 28th ult. says: "At
midnight the State-house in Columbia
was occupied by Federal troops, who
camped on the rotunda and kept the
doors barred. This morning a guard of
sentinels was formed around the build
ing, and admittance was denied to all
except those having passes from Gov
ernor Chamberlain's private secretary,
w. r. Jones. The streets of Columbia
are thronged with people from all parts
of the State. Quiet reigns, but the ex-
citement is intense" The Legislature
was organized at P. NJ, and consists, as
then organized, of five whites and fifty
four negroes. The Democratic members
met at Carolina Hall on the same day.
Sixty-four Democrats and two Republi-
cans participated, and were sworn in by
Judge Cooke. Each House will demand
of the Secretary of State the return o.
the vote for Governor.

A LONG PERIOD OF UNREST

twill be remembered that House, the
great divorce lawyer of New York City,
was some months ago killed by his wife.
This wife, in announcing her intention
of becoming a public lecturer, thus
writes to brother of her husband. We
fear that a long period of "unrest" is
before this woman who has been so
sorely wounded in all the finer feelings
of her womanhood, by witnessing the
nefarious arts of professional "divorce
procurer," if she really "never rests un-
til divorce for every cause is abolished
all over the United States" Hear her

Ruled Out.

The Ne5S Century for Women thus
discourses upon the "great day for which
all other days were made''-Election
Day, and woman's part, or rather the
part that woman does not have in the
same:
The one day in the three hundred and
sixty-five that closes its doors upon the
woman, is Election Day. Thanksgiv-
ing Day is hers by right of the kitchen
altar, and Christmas comes to her
through the children. In the Fourth of
July she has complex and varied inter-
ests, and on Moving Day, as on st. Val
entine's, she is indispensable. But Elec
tion Day has no welcome for her. 1t is
not because she does not care for the
elections, for she is too much of a parti
san not to have her own candidates,
but she has nothing to do with the bal
lott box, and knows only the excitement
of waiting for the returns. If they do
not come at night when the master of
the house returns, she waits impatiently
for the morning paper yet rarely looses
her breakfast from either joy or grief.
| There was time when she made Elec-
tion Cake, and so had her share in the
! festivities of the occasion, and in the
days of our grandmOthers the New Jer-
sey woman who owned fifty pounds
went to the polls and had her little say
on paper about her preferences.
But these days are over. The Elec-
| tiOn Cake has given place to refresh
ments she does not brew nor bottle, and
the one thing that has no weight that
day is the woman's choice.

New York rain we had left in the city,
but leaving behind its muck and slush
and filthiness. In the cheerful parlors
of our host genial company assembled,
where we spent hour after hour in an

Petitions for the commutation of the
sentence passed upon Kay Neil, for the
murder of S. w. Hayes, are being eE-
tensively circulated by the ladies OF
Linn county. We believe that it would
be much more useful, humane and en-
lightened method of punishment to
place this offender and all others of his
class to making brick for, or otherwise
serving the people of the State, than
changing him by the neck until dead u
could possibly be. Hence we hope that
the number of names to the petition

cause the Executive to commute thi:

The people of Yamhill county feel
very keenly the misfortune by which
the completion of the steamer "McMinn-
ville' has been delayed. The machinery
for her was ordered from the Oregon Iron
Works, and $4,000 paid upon it, when
the company went into bankruptcy and
neither money nor machinery is. forth
coming. If it is impossible to get it on
this contract, the company will shortly
send to San Francisco for the necessary
power to enable the gallant little craft
to plow the placid waters of the Yam
hill and Willamette. The delay will be

WE CONCUR.
The Won1anIs Journal saws:

The WOnldnS Journal says:
II the Republicans have lost the control OF |
the government, it is because they have re-
fused to take up the great progressive issues of
the present and future-WOman Suffrage, tenn
perance, labor and civil service reform. They
offered no new object no inspiring principle.
The same old leaders have cried "Wolf! wolf"
so often that they were no longer believed, and
now the wolves have devoured them. They
denied suffrage TO their allies, the loyal women
OF the Republic, and so when the votes OF wom-
en- would have saved them, their hands were
tied.
There is more in this assertion than
at first appears. It is certain that there
never has been an election held in which
the women of the nation took such an
enthusiastic interest. Among all of the
women who have expressed themselves
upon the absorbing topics of the day
in our presence since the election
and these comprise every woman with
out exception whom we have met since
the 9TH day of November and for some
days previous-all with but a single ex-
ception have expressed their anxiety
over the general result and nearly all
have declared their eagerness to vote.
We do not say that all of these, or per-
haps an undue proportion of them would
have voted the Republican ticket, but
it is natural and just to suppose that the
great mass of women would have voted
with the party that gave them power to
vote at all, in preference to the party
that treated them and their just and
courteous demands with cOntemptuous
silence in their convention. If the Re-
publican party is defeated, it is because
it was narrow and short-sighted and
corrupt, where it should have been pro.
gressive, prescient and pure. The lead
ers became, either stupid from being
overfed, or arrogant from long triumph
and exhibited a stolid indifference tC
the demands of progressive people, In
a transition era, and while they have
alternately slnmbered and boasted, the
enemy, vigi!ant and prompt, have stoler
a march upon them that if it do not re
suit in disastrous route or close defeat
will give them such scare as will com
pei them to look after live issues before
the nations ballot-boxes again open t.

will decide which of the two great par
ties shall drive the governmental chariot

As published In yesterdays STAR, the
statement that Mr.. ConkliDg. on Tuesday
last, reported adversely from the Senate Com
mittee on Commerce the bill to improve the
harbor Of Washington was a mistake. One
Of the bills before that committee proposes
To authorize the West Point (virgnia)
Commercial company TO deepen the river
channel, and gives them in consideration q
large amount OF land, some at present under
water, and some being mud-hats, upon
which the company intend to build wharves
and other Improvements, which shall be
free from taxation for twenty years. The
bill Is fraud on It's face and ought not TO
pass. The improvement OF the harbor of
Washirg ton should be made By the general
government, and not by private corporate Dns.
Congress annually appropriates millions
OF dollars for the improvement OF rivers
and harbors, but studiously omits to do any
thing for the Improvement OF the haroor OF
the capital city of the Union. Meanwhile IL
Is gradually filling up, and IL Is predicted by
experienced river men that in few years u
will be impossible for boats drawing more
than two feet Of water TO reach our wharves
from Alexandria. Government and other
vessels frequently run aground at low water
between Washington and Alexandria, occa.
vessels bound for Washington are sometimes
compelled L. discharge the whole or part
OF their cargoes at Alexandria. We trust
the appropriate committees OF both houses
will give the matter careful consideration
and take the necessary steps to give us q
harbor orthy Of the capital of the nation.
