LETTER FROM MISS ANTHONY

To THE EDITOR OF THE NEW NORTHWEST:
Are you never going to speak to me
again? 1t seems an age since 1 saw a
pen track of yours, but see the New
NORTHWEST every Tuesday, A. NJ, reg
ularly now, and have read Martha
Marblehead" thus far to my dear mother,
aged almost eighty-four. What hard
headed old flint you do make of that
Senior Marblehead
Do make the NEW NORTHWEST bris-
tie all over with the Sixteenth Amend
ment.
1 shall give the last four weeks prior
to election in Colorado TO canvassing
there. Can't get out of it. go with
out promise OF pay, even for travelling
expenses, just as l went to Kansas in
'67, and Michigan in IA If women had
money they might move the world. But
they are making this fight with hands
tied, financially, as we'll as politically.
Now, if Colorado votes No, shall say
to the States Rights plan, Three times
and out. But we must push the Ma
tional work, and this can be done more
effectually by petitions from the Six
teenth Amendment than by any other
method. In haste and affection,
SUSAN B. ANTHONY.

THE MORMON SEER,

Brigham Young has been gathered 10
his fathers, and the many wives who
were wont to receive his divided affec-
tions will enjoy his fractional carresses
nevermore. In the land of shades,
whittier he hath departed, no supernal
glory awaiteth him, for he failed to
humble himself in this country, there
fore he will hardly be exalted in the
land of the leal.
The funeral was very imposing af-
fair. Though the Mormon people are
greatly divided among themselves,
there are many thousands who would
think it an honor to die for Brigham
Young, and they all thronged to the
city to participate in the ceremonies oil
inhumation.
Who is to be their leader, now that
the old man is gone, is as yet a matter
of doubt. But the backbone of Nor
monism is broken by Brigham's death,
and his successor can only hold the peo-
pie by rope of sand.

ON PAR WITH WOMEN.

The dispatches from New York an
nOunce that the Republican organiza-
tion of the State has disbanded, in COM
pliance with the Presidents order. We
have heard, as yet, of but one man who
has had the moral courage to protest
against the audacity of the President in
disbanding the organization that caused
bis election; and that man is A. NJ.
Ciapp, of Buffalo, who says: "This ma
ton has reached its centennial in his
tory, and this is the first instance in
which the destruction of peaceful and
useful political organizations has been
demanded to propitiate the powers of
State. If this is Republicanism. 1 want
no more of it, though I propose to be a
Republican of 1856 as long as life lasts. -
Apply the whip, my lord Rutherford,
and let political sycophants bow the
knee that thrift may follow fawning.
But it rejoiceth US to know that the
men who placed you in Office have the
power to protest yet left in their posses
sion. Your masculine serfs will soon
be on par with women if this sort oil
thing is not Interrupted.

TREAT BOTH ALIKE.

"Our Washington Letter" contains
an item or two about "men's honor" in
divorce cases, concerning which we
wish to say a word. 1t seems that our
correspondent thinks the Sickles homi-
eide an infallible panacea for the
wounded "honor" of individual hus-
bands, who, from his own showing,
must desire to re-enter the marriage re-
lation, else they would not want to be
divorced at all. The supposition that
any pure man would live for years in
open or covert knowledge of his wife's
infidelity, and make no sign of remon-
STRANGE, until the trouble became so un-
bearable as to force him at last to
parade his own shame, is too absurd for
serious consideration. 1t is very easy
for a man or woman who wants to be
divorced from legal cOnsOrt to trump
up imaginary grievances to cover up his
or her personal delinquencies; but the
man or woman who will become for a
time a silent witness of infidelity upon
either side, and afterward live with the
offending party for a season, deserves
no quarter when he or she concludes to
''cry out" The general idea that wom-
an is the only frail mortal, and man the
only party to be dishonored by marital
infdelity, although he may do as he
pleases, is fOstered and kept alive by
just such newspaper comments as the
letter in question contains.

RECENT EVENTS.

A lady, Miss Margaret Jenkins, has
been appointed postmaster at What
com, w. 7.
Thirty-nine failures occurred in New
York during August. The liabilities
aggregated two aud half millions.
A tornado of terrific violence swept
over Marysville, Kentucky, on the
morning of the 1st inst, doing great
damage to property.
The post Office at Goose Lake, Lake
county, has been discontinued. There
has been a post office established at
Parkersville, Coos county.
The Sun says the negroes compose
only about one-fourth of the population
of Memphis, Tennessee, and yet of 1,25S
votes in that city last year, COL, or
nearly one half, were negroes.
The appointment for the vacancy on
the Supreme Bench will be made this

Bristow are most prominent in the
Presidents mind.
The Sandwich Savings Bank of Bos.

END OF VOL. VI.

Good readers of the New NORTH
WEST, we make our best bow TO you
this morning with happy heart. AS
journalist we are six years old. Though
the paper was started the first week in
May, 1871, we suffered one delay of two
and a half months i'm '73 through ILL
ness in the family. 1t has always been
our custom to give the typos and all
other hands holiday during State Fair
week, and, as fifty-twO numbers consli-
tute years subscription, the changing
seasons have glided over gaps enough
to bring the anniversary up to the Sec
ond week in September, in 1877.
In looking back through the departed
years, we cannot but wonder that
strength has been given us to carry the
business over some of the toughest
places. We were as ignorant of the de-
tails of journalism in the outset as a
child. Nota member of our family had
ever had a particle of newspaper expert
ence. The boys, upon whom the me-
chanical department was to depend,
were young and wholly untaught; men
could charge US what they pleased for
labor and material, and teach the typos
Just such rules as suited them, against
which we lacked the skill and power to
object, no matter how arbitrary the
rules might be; the expenses were
double what they ought to have been
for several years, until we saddled the
concern with a nightmare of debt, out
of which we have been slowly crawling
ever since the tide began to turn, while
interest has all the while been eating
into our earnings, like a death-watch
eating into shattered wall.
Public opinion was against the idea of
our mission; women who wanted to as
sist US could not, and those who could
would not, so our work oftentimes so far
DETECTED from the main object, while
we "meddled" in politics, that men of
all parties became anxious to patronize
our efforts; and thus the NEW NORTH
WEST grew to be permanent institu-
ton, popular and respected. And to-
day it dips its flag, at close of its sixth
subscription year, with the pride of a
veteran who has weathered the storm
aud shock of battle and neared the
haven of prosperity and peace. The pa
per's Indebtedness on the subscription
year just closed, as elsewhere stated, is
S106. Who will put shoulder to the
wheel and help US through this mire
Will not our friends rally and, lift this
load, so that we may next week
launch Volume VII. free from all
entanglements of Volume vi? Have
We not earned this at your hands, good
readers, who have enjoyed the fruits of
all these years of our toll, secure in the
havens of seclusion, while we have
breasted the high seas of public opposi-
tion to usher in the dawn of better,
freer day for men and women?
To all who have aided us by pen or
deed we say, in gratitude, We thank
you. For our enemies we have never an
unkindly thought; and to the thousands
we have learned to know and love in
the years we have struggled with and
for them, in our zeal for human rights,
we cordially say, All hail.

Peruvian Syrup.

BROOKS, Me-, Sept. 7, 1870
Dear Sir From early youth was in feeble
health, troubled with humOr in my blood,
weakness and debility of the system generally;
was unable to labor much, and only at some
light business, and then only with great eau
tion. Seven years ago, the past spring, had
severe attack of Diptheria, which left my
limbs paralyzed and useless, so was unable to
walk, or even sit up. Noticing the advertise
ment of PERUVIAN SYRUP, concluded to give
it a trial, and to my great joy soon found my
health improving. 1 continued the use of the
SYRUP until three bottles had been used, and
was restored to complete health, and have re-
mained so to this day. 1 attribute my present
health to the use of PERUVIAN SYRUP, and
hold it in high estimation. cannot speak too
highly in its praise. have in several cases
recommended it in cases similar to my own
with the same good results. Yours truly,
so CHARLES E. PEAKCY.

RACE BETWEEN A PIGEON AND AN
ENGINE.-'Hhe London papers tell of a
race from Dover TO London between the
continental mail express train and a
pigeon. The bird was tossed from a
carriage window as the train left the
admiralty pier, and the train immedi-
ately got up speed of sixty miles an
hour and proceeded without stopping to
Cannon street. The pigeon, which was
"homed" to building in Cannon street,
took the straight route, probably saving
half a mile in the whole distance of
seventy-six and a half miles, and beat
the train by twenty minutes, or time
allowance of eighteen miles.

mass meeting in Reading, September
lst, addressed by Francis w. Hughes.
He is the head and front of the green

for bard times was the issue of green
backs to the wants of the trade, the re-
monetization of silver, with Judge Kel-

tioual banks, and said that a country

The AMERICAN NEWSPAPER DIRECTORY Is an
epitome of newspaper history. 1t is also re-
garded as an official register of cIrculatiOns.
This feature requires the closest scrutiny to
prevent it from leading to abuses. The plan
adopted by the publishers of the DIRECTORY to
secure correct and trustworthy reports is rigid
in its requirements, and is adhered to with
impartiality. Successful publishers, who have
something to gain by a comparison, are gener-
ally prompt, not only to send reports in COLI
formity, but give Messrs. Geo. P. ROwell & Co.
such information as enables them to weed out
unsubstantiated statements of pretenders in
journalism. The popularity Of the book, and
the general confidence in its accuracy and good
faith, are attested by the immense body of ad-
vertisements it receives. 70

FOREIGN NEWS.

The Prince of Roumania has left Mix
opolis for his headquarters at Poregin.
A special, dated Poredin, August 29th,
says the Russians have evacuated Selvi.
Specials from Batoum announce that
the Turks have begun to evacuate Su-
KUN Kaleh.
Some Turkish troops crossed the Aus
trian frontier on the 1st inst, near Kan
idabaka, carried off some cattle, set fire
to barn, and fred upon the Austrian
patrol.
A correspondent at Vienna telegraphs
that the Porte has ordered that the for
tifications of Adrianople shall be COM
pleted before winter, and decided they
shall consist OF twenty-four detached
forts.
Cannonading began again at Schipka
Pass on Saturday, and continued Sun
day. A prisoner states that the effective
force of most of the Russian battalions
has been reduced by one-half. The Bull
garians also suffered cruelty.
Athens dispatches state that the Duke
of Edinburg had arrived there and Wis.,
tied the King and Queen. The British
government, fearing he would seem to
countermand the war party, telegraphed
that he must leave Immediately, which
order he obeyed.
A Russian official dispatch, dated
Gornystuden, Saturday, says: All quiet
towards Rustchuk, Osman Bazaar, LO-
vatz and the Balkan Passes. There was
heavy fighting before Plevna August
| 31st, from 8 A. NJ. until P. NJ. The
Turks numbered $1,000, and were re-
pulsed along the whole line. Russian
loss, 900.
Osman Pasha telegraphed from Plevna
last Friday as follows: We have made
an offensive reconnaissance in force
against the Russian fortified position at
plead [probably Pelishal of the maps,
five miles east of Plevnal, and encOun-
tered the enemy half mile from PHI
chad. After two hours desperate fight
ing the enemy fled. We carried three
redoubts by assault, captured q gun,
many horses aud arms. The Russians,
who numbered 10000, lost heavily; we
slightly.
The Turkish minister of foreign affairs
has addressed dispatch to the diplo-
matte agents of the Porte abroad, saying
every day brings to light great num-
Der of Mussulman women and children
belonging in the district of Kasanlik
who escaped massacre. Two hundred
and fifty Mussulman women and chill
dren were found barefOOted and in a
most deplorable condition. A number
of women and children could not be re-
covered, having been massacred by Bull
garians. Twelve thousand Mussulman
men, women and children fell into the
hands of the Russians and Bulgariaus.
Two thousand were rescued by the I'm
perial troops.
"A Times London special says: The
Turks are concentrating all available
reinforcements in Bulgaria. They have
gained more strength by delay than the
Russians. Unless the Russians hope to
gain something by precipitating the
Servian army on the communications
of Osman Pasha, their Inactivity is un-
accountable, for they are not relatively
so strong now as after the battle of
Plevna. Their situation is a serious
one. They can extricate themselves
only by good luck or by winning one
or more. battles of most tremendous
magnitude. 1t is believed that not
merely the destiny of the Turks but
that of the Russians depends on the
next great battle.

WORK FOR EVERYBODY.

Circulate petitions for 18th Amend
ment, to enfrsnchise the women, not Of
one State alone, but of all the States
and Territories. Woman1s right to a
voice in the government under which
she lives is natural right, and must be
guaranteed to her by the Federal Con-
stitution. Now is our time to knock al
the doors Of Congress and plant this
right deep in the fundamental law of
the land.
Petitions for Sixteenth Amendment,
for woman's acknowledgements, from
10000 United States citizens, from
twenty-five States, have been presented
in open House and Senate by 81 Repre-
sentatives and 90 Senators since January
10, 1877. The friends of Woman Suf
frage in both houses, who intend to ad-
vocate the Amendment in the new
Congress, desire its friends to sustain
them by mammoth petitions from every
quarter. Circulate this petition through
the autumn and winter up to January
20, 1878. Obtain the names of all who
have signed similar petitions to the
present Congress, aud as many more as
possible. Head the petitions with such
well-known names as you wish to have
appear in the Congressional Record.
Fill the blanks for State, town, and
county, that members may refer to
their own districts in presenting petit
tions. Have all the names signed
plainly with ink on two copies of the
petition, one for the House, and one for
the Senate. Ask each signer to remit
at least ten cents to the Treasurer of the

sented by the appropriate Representa-
tive and Senator. Send with the petit
tions name and post Office address of
