HERD LAW MEETING.

The friends of the herd law met at the
court house last Saturday, pursuant to
notice, for the purpose of considering
what was best to be done in relation to
securing herd law for Allen county,

best interest of the county, and tend to
encourage permanent improvements, to
adopt the "hedge law" Committees

Commissioners in conformity with the

ing is a copy of that law:

A LAWYERS LETTER.

We publish elsewhere a letter ad-'
dressed by Hon. Richard Williams to
the President of the State Woman Suf-
frage Association and read before the
Convention at its recent session in Sa-
lem. Like the twelfth plank" to
which Mr.. Williams refers, his letter
may mean a great deal, and it may
mean-nothing.
He is mistaken in the supposition
that the National Republican Conven-
tion was not appealed to on the ques-
tion, as that body gave a hearing to
Mrs. Sara J. Spencer as representative
of the National Woman Suffrage Asso-
citation, who made direct and forcible
appeal, strong enough to have inspired
a stronger recognition than was given.
Miss Phoebe Couzens made like appeal
on behalf of the same Association to the
st. Louis Convention. Both appeals
were earnest, logical, and just; both
were listened to with quiet and respect
full attention. The Committee on Plat.
form at Cincinnati responded with ere
spectful consideration" and a vague
promise, which might either be obliter'
ated or intensified as future party need:
were disclosed. A like committee at St
Louis treated the matter with silence
sullen, insulting, and dogmatical. This
is statement of the facts in the case al
we understand them, and neither tn,
grudged and superficial offering of th'
one nor the dogged silence of the othe
is what the intelligent women of tn,
nation were entitled to at the hands o
, their brethren. However, both tn
"twelfth plank" and Mr.. Williams let
ter are as strong as we could expect un
der the circumstances, and thanking tn
gentleman named for his courteous re
sponse, expressed sympathy and prom
Use of "proper influence" We bide ou
time with what patience we can muster
We regret that Hon. Lafayette Lane
! not upon the record on this question
, We are informed, however, that "thi
son of his father" is, like his fossilize
. progenitor, opposed to "wimmin havir
a rite"

LEGAL TENDER CONVENTION.

The Convention of the Independent
Legal Tender party met at Salem on the
18th inst and adopted resolutions favor
ing the election of Peter Cooper to the
Presidency, endorsing and approving
the platform of principles adopted by
the National Convention Of the Legal
Tender party at indianapolis, and de-
claring in favor of altering or amending
the treaty with China so as to prevent
the further immigration of Chinese to
our country, except at the pleasure Of
the United States. They further re-
solved "That there is no hope for the
people except in the success of the LIE.
gal Tender party" Unhappy people
they are indeed bereft of hope.

WHAT SHALL I DO 2"

This question is asked in tones trem-
ulous and doubling, in tones hopeful
and brave, in tones sorrowful and faint,
each day by hundreds of women
women born, as theory declares, to be
protected and provided for by others,
but who, defrauding nature and defying
theory, are forced by circumstances to
work or starve. "What can you do ?''
is answered by hard, slow-going prac-
tice, and the list of accomplishments
usually denominated feminine or wom-
anly is rehearsed.
81 can sew neatly" but you would
starve at that. 81 can teach;" but there
are already half-dozen applicants to
one position. 'T can give instruction
in music;" so can men, and being men,
they have the preference. Many a
woman has found that all of her vaunted
womanly graces and accomplishments
will only bring her the meager pittance
of a seamstress, or SIS per month as
scullion.
WOuAA eAhGm CL W lLlG HuCSbAOu bAleAO
is so sorely puzzling so many women
workers, who, without their own con-
sent or connivance, have been brought
face to face with the world and its hard
necessities, ask yourselves first of all
what you are most capable of doing.
Deliberate, reason with yourselves, and
when you are certain that you have
found your work, turn neither to the
right hand nor to the left, but bring all
the latent force of your nature to its ac-
complishment. No matter what it be,
pursue it with determination to sue
ceed-to excel.
This rule is more especially applicable
to the condition of young women who
have only themselves to care for, for tC
expect a woman with youth, strength
and health gone and family to support
to follow any avocation with a view tC
its mastery, is simply expecting an i'm
possibility; and because of this, young
women in every walk of life should Fl
themselves for some work whereby
they may gain livelihood in case mis-
fortune or circumstance demands it o
them.
Woman will not in the future, a
heretofore, be compelled to walk in tina
cramped, narrow path denominateC
cher sphere" and to toll therein in un
complaining submission to supposed
destiny. No; thanks to the unceasini
energy of a few, woman's place in tn
world as an intelligent and independen
human being is fast being recognized
and when, in the good time coming
they will be allowed to compete witt
men in all honorable employments, lie
them see to it that they enter the list
fully prepared to do the work they un
dertake thoroughly, promptly, an
cheerfully.

WOMAN SUFFRAGE IN THE SENATE.

The resolution proposing to submit
the question of Woman Suffrage to the
people, which had passed the House of
Representatives by handsome major
ity, was, on motion of Van Cleave, on
Friday taken from the table in the
Senate. This gentleman then moved its
adoption, and Watt, of Washington
county, proposed a call of the House,
which was complied with. The ques-
ton being on the adoption of the reso-
luton, the roll was called with the fol-
lowing result:
Yeas - Applegate, Bentley, Brown,
Clark, Engle, George, Halsey, Palmer,
Richardson, VanCleave, Watt, Warren,
and Wisdom-18. Bradshaw,
Brady, Cochrane, Davis, Goodman,
Green, Herren, Jasper, Jewell, Lee
Munkers, Myers, Ofield, Savage
Thompson, and Mr.. President-16. Alb
sent-Colvig.
Now, let those who are wont to de-
clare that the question of woman's en-
franchisement goes backward instead o
! forward-an absurd declaration to make
relative to any reform movement il
this age of progress reflect before they
again display their Ignorance of matters
in general and the advancement o
Woman Suffrage sentiment in particu
lar, that the legislative assembly of Or
egon, body largely and intensely Dem
ocratic, passed through the lower hous,
by a majority of seven a resolution il
favor of giving a fair and impartia
hearing to the great question, and tina
the Senate only defeated the same by
majority of three VOteS. What, thinl
you, would have been the fate of such
resolution in the Oregon Legislatur
ten, or eight years ago? Would it no
have been tabled, in contemptuous 81
lence, or overwhelmed with scornfu
ridicule? Men of intelligence, of sa
gacity, of conscientious devotion t
principle, see and feel that they mus
either climb upon the car of progress o
be crushed beneath its wheels, an
make haste to record themselves upO
the side of justice and equality.

Mr.. WILLIAMS LETTER TO SUI
FRAGISTS,

PORTLAND, September 2, 1876.
To the President Of the O.S W. s. A.
Dear Mddam:-I received your letter of
the 18th uIt. some time since, in which
you were pleased to extend to me an in
vitation to be present and address the
Association at a special meeting to be
held at Salem on the 18th inst. There
is a term of court to be held in Coos
county, commencing on the 11th inst,
and my engagements take me there at
that time; so 1T will be impossible for
me to comply with your request, which
I might be pleased to do under other
circumstances.
You have doubtless observed that the
Republican Convention at Cincinnati
gave you substantial recognition Of
equal rights in many important re,
spects, as we'll as pledge to hear with
respectful consideration future demand;
for additional rights, and that without
direct appeal in any form, while the
Democracy at St. Louis, though directly
appealed to, failed to recognize you
claims in any way. As candidate o
the Republican party, stand bound by
it's declaration of principle. Being fully
imbued with this sentiment, withou
reference to any sympathy may hav'
for your cause, shall gladly recognize
such legitimate influence as its pledge
should have upon a party representa-
tive.
Be assured of my sympathy and o
such proper influence as L may be abb
to exert in your behalf.
Thanking you for the distinction con
ferred by your invitation, I remain yer.
respectfully your obediant servant,
r. WILLIAMS.

great work of woman's emancipation,
