REsoLUTIoNs.-We have been handed
the following, with request to publish ::
At the Linn County Womans' Suffrage
Association, held at the house of Mrs. Par
ton, the President in the chair, the follow
ing resolutions were adopted:
Resolced. That if it was tyranny one
hundred years ago to tax men without re-
presentation, it is the same now to tax
women without representation.
Resolred, That if our forefathers uttered
the truth when they said, governments
derive their direct power from the govern
ed, then woman has been unjustly ruled
over, for her consent has never been given
or asked for.
Resolee1, That woman should be enfran-
chised, because it is necessary for the full
development of the nation.
Resolrcd, That having put our hands
TO the pIow of equal rights, we will not
look back till every citizen, whether man
or woman, OF these United States, enjoys
equal rights and privileges.

so a motion to dismiss the bill for want of an affidavit. On the hearing the bill was dismissed with costs, and compiainants ap- pealed. At the May term of this court the case was reversed, and afterward reconsidercd. N a!ker, judge, now delivered the opinion of the court after a careful review of the authorities cited.
 ABSTRACT.
 The act of 1868 took away the right to plead usury, even against former contracts, usurious under the law, when made.
 There is no vested right in a defense to contract, into wbich party has voluntarily entered. Where the contract is not in it's nature immoral or vicious, and where the defense is statutory one, given from motives Of public policy. It may be taken away by I
 retrospective legislation, and so after the act of 1868, the plea of usury could not be made. nor would such defense be set up in answer.
 The plea of usury has never Nbeen considered meritorious one so far as it goes to defeat the debt with lawful interest. This is ap- parent from the practice of the courts of chancery. And the protection against the whole con tract only exists as long as the legislature chooses to afford it.
 An affidavit before suit against an estate is not necessary where the object is to enforce a specific lien.

PHEASANT GROVE, Feb. ), 1876.
 Editor DEMOCRAT: Never hay ing written for your valuable pa per, I have concluded to write you short article, believing it to be the duty of every one, to contrib ute their mite, both to making and supporting a good local paper. I say valuable because l believe your aim to be the elevation, edu- cation and enlightenment of the masses, which is certainly the highest duty of man. The mind being the only immortal part, the body in spite of the utmost care, daintiest food, and finest cloth ing, will grow old and finally de cay; newspapers facilitate the ac- quisition of knowledge, and is cer- tanly one of the cheapest medi- ums through which intellectual light can be effused, they are ob- tainable both by rich and poor. Poverty is considered by some as q great barrier to success in ob- taining eminence; though the rug ged hill of poverty is hard to climb, yet past experience proves that it can be done, if those who strive to attain it is possessed of sufficient energy and pluck. The lives of some of our greatest men forcibly demonstrates this fact. Facility in the sense of ease, seems to be the worst enemy to manly genius. In demonstration of this fact we might cite many instances. Had it not been for the impeachment in Demosthenes' utterance, the poverty of Robert Burns, the misfortunes of Sil Walter Scott's circumstances and the deformity of Byron and Pope, it is more than probable their ge- nius would never have impressed the world so potently. To bring out the courage of man you must expose him to danger; to try his fortitude you must inhict him with pam; to try his resolution you must subject him to difficulty, in short to cultivate habit of un. tiring industry anI patience and of persistent determination is the only road to greatness. The hard knocks we get against the rough edges of the world should only tend to raise us to what Swedonborge calls . "The grand man." Every difficulty like the waves ofa turbulant sea if they do not sink us, they tend to raise us higher.
