TnEY have the railroad fever bad at
M,rglatown and through the country bo'
tween tha, place and Mt, Morris and Car.
ntchacls. The rage now is for an exten,
sion Of the Castle Shannon Narrow Gauge
to Morgantown. President Thompson,
ollhe University, and Prof. White, OF the
sans institution, appear to be deeply in-
torestcd in the enterprise, and are making
speeches on its behalf.
The Narrow Gauge fever prevails gen.
orally throughout the country within a
hundred miles Of Wheeling. Atno time
iu the past have the people been so
much stirred up in regard 10 Sc
eurinr railroad flcililiea. They see
that the Narrow Gauges can be
bull. very cheap, and that they
are Invaluable as an economical means
Of connecting with the leading lines oil
travel aal the principal centres Of trade
People who live In cities and towns have
10 idea oi the drawbacks suffered by
fIrmers in the winter and spring from
bii roads and consequent inability, ez,
espt at great sacrifices, to ship their pro
duets 10 market. They must either sell
OG their surplus ia the iall, when the
roads are good, or elae haul it to market
At great expense and Inconvenience when
the roads are bad. The building Of Mar.
row Gauge roads at an expense all told
Of only $1,000 per mile obvia!es much
Of this expense and Inconvenience and
s great boon to the country through
which they pace, inat as a good pike
would g.. Such roads can be built even
cheaper than pike., and when built afford
t cheaper line OF transportation. No
wonder the iarmers hail the era Of chesr
Narrow Gauge railroads.
As Tor Moresn;own, We really do not
understand how the people Of that rich
and intelligent community have been
contented to remain 70 long isolated
from the rest Of the world, and now that
they hnvea live man Mt the head Of their
univer'i,y We hope that they will end
some way by which that long and tirCsomr
stage ride from Fairmont to their town
can be obyiated.

OREGON STATE WOMAN SUFFRAGE
ASSOCIATION.

To The officers, members, and friends
Of the above named Associdtion:-You
has been called by notice in
the columns of the NEW NORTHWEST
to the fact that the Oregon State Wom-
an Suffrage Association will assemble
in annual convention in the city of AL
bany, on Tuesday, the 18th day of Feb
ruary, 1877. The first session will be
held at 10 o'clock A. NJ, on the day
specified, in such place as the friends in
that city shall designate. I earnestly
urge the friends of the cause throughout
the State to give US, if possible, their
personal assistance, and, in case this is
impossible, to send US communications,
suggestions, plans for future work, ETC.,
etc. Come, friends, with your cheering
words, and let US mingle our glad con-
gratulations for past success, for surely
the "time of our redemption draweth
nigh"
Our State organization is out of debt,
but as experience has proved that nc
work can be carried forward without
money, we hope that the condition oi
membership which requires the pay
ment of an annual fee of one dollar will
not be forgotten, but that every worker
will promptly contribute his or bel
mite, and that those who cannot bt
present will aid the cause financially
by sending up their dues. Arrange
ments have already been made to Sc
cure half-fare tickets for those who de
sire to attend. The many stanch suf
fragists of Albany will doubtless b.
glad to welcome all friends from abroad
to their homes and tender them thu
hospitalities thereof. We feel safe il
promising a grand, good time, if we ar
only prompt and faithful to our engage
ments. Our Corresponding Secretary
mindful of the great importance of tn
coming occasion, has sent out scores o
letters soliciting aid from the leading
men and women of the State. We sin
cerely hope that trivial circumstance
will not be allowed to prevent the &C
ceptance of these invitations. A goodl
number from abroad will add greatly t
the interest and influence of the meet
ing. We anxiously await TO clasp hand
and join our greetings with the valian
army who so nobly work in this glori
GUS cause. II. A. LoUGHARY,
President o. S. w. S. A.

HUMAN RIGHTS BIBLIOALLY CON-
SIDERED.
BY JUDITH.
[For the New Northwest

[For the New Northwestl
At this time, when women have as
serted their right to think for them
selves, have been studying the Bible
and see things differently to what did
when 1 took everything as men inter
preted it. AS read where God cursed
our first parents for disobedience, He
pronounced a separate curse for each.
First on the serpent, then the woman,
and last the man. Each had a sepa-
rate curse, and it may be said with the
same propriety, that God intended the
man to bear the woman's curse, as the
woman to bear the mans, as any think
ing reader can see, and it is only be-
cause men have the will and power to
shift the curse on women, that she has
the double curse to bear. 1t is not the
will of God.
In no place in the Bible does God
command woman to labor. Christ
never reproved but one woman; that
was Martha for working, and COM
mended Mary for sitting to learn.
Christ never spoke unkindly of or to a
woman. But he told the priests that
harlots would go into the kingdom OF
God before them, and to the Scribes and
Pharisees (who were mem He said: aye
serpents, ye generation of vipers, how
can ye escape the damuation of hell ?"
The prophecies Anna preached Christ
to the Jews long before John the Baptist
cried, 'tBehold the lamb of God" and
the woman of Samaria was sent from
Jacobs well to call the Gentiles before
Paul or any other man was commits.
stoned, "and many believed for the say.
ing of the woman"
When Christ arose from the dead, hG
first appeared to a woman, and commits
stoned women to preach q risen Savior
and we read in the Revelations of SON
that was sung in the realms of bliss BY
the virgins that no man could learn.
Paul exhorts wives 70 be subject t.
to their husbands, etc.; but Christ doe!
not command any woman to be subjec
to any man. Men take Paul for thei
guide, instead of Christ.
In view of all these facts, and many
more that might be cited, it is worsr
than useless for Nineteenth century di
vines to endeavor to prove from the Bi
bic that the Creator designed women t.
occupy place in the world subordinat,
to the will and rule of men.

LETTER FROM JACKSON COUNTY.

To THE EDITOR OF THE NEW NORTHWEST:
l see by your paper the annual meet
ing Of the Woman Suffrage Association
will be held on the 18th of February
Wishing to become a member of the
Association, 1 should like to know what
steps are necessary, what the expense
would be, and who to address. AS there
may be others desiring to become MEM
bers, it would probably be to the interest
of your readers that you answer through
your valuable paper.
I should like so much to be present
at meeting of the Association, but
family cares prevent, and besides, I
would not attend without my better
half, as he is not addicted to going on
excursions without me, and you know
we should be just in all things.
am much gratified to notice de-
cided improvement in the sentiments
of the women of our country, indicating
desire to be considered equals and CO.
workers with husbands and brothers.
am also pleased to note a growing
disposition on the part of men to recog-
nize ability and intelligence in women,
and their right to social equality. The
avidity with which women grasp every
opportunity offered them, shows that ii
is appreciated. have a confident hope
we may yet live to see the triumph oi
justice TO woman, Notwithstanding
such sheets as the Jacksonville Times
still make sport of Woman Suffrage,
even to the extent of being personal
(See Times of 3Oth of December.) The
time will come when that "Sail-trim-
mer; will deem it expedient to court
popularity by change of tactics.
Should you find any one wishing to
subscribe for a Southern Oregon paper,
you can safely recommend the Ashland

Wishing you abundant success, I re-
main sincerely yours, HOPE.

A friend of temperance, writing from
Marion county, expresses a desire for
the consolidation at the next meeting of
the State Temperance Alliance of that
body and the State Temperance Union,
and says: "I think there will be no
difficulty in carrying out the plan, for
the Woman Suffrage scare that divided
the Alliance and formed the Union is a
scare no longer, but these principles
have become part at least of the doc
trines of both organizations" Thus the
mill goes steadily round and round,
grinding slowly but surely and exceed

Men are never curious; oh, no! Yet
we find that one, J. Wiley, postmaster
at Camas Valley, Douglas county, has
been examined on a charge of opening
letters addressed to another mans wife
and placed under bonds of S400. The
letter or letters were opened in the eager
hope of unearthing a precious bit of
scandal. Suppose that woman post
master should be guilty of a like offence?
Would we not be treated to long dis
QUESTIONS upon woman's curiosity and
her unfitness for so responsible posi-
tion as that of postmaster? And would
not each disquisition contain a supple
ment setting forth in unsparing Ian
guage woman's love of gossip and the
natural disposition of her sex to meddle
in other peoples business? Oh, no!
Not at all.

BESIEGING CONGRESS.

The National Woman Suffrage Asso-
citation, comprising some of the most
indefatigable and invincible workers
that ever enlisted under the banner of
liberty, have recently held a session in
Washington City, and the dispatches
this week contain evidence of their
work. They have urged and will con-
tinue to urge upon Congress the adop-
ton of a 10Th Amendment to the Con-
stitution of the United States that shall
prevent the disfranehisement of citizens
on account of sea. Petitions for this
from thirty-six States have been re-
ceived and presented. The aggregate
number of names affixed thereto we do
not know to a certainty, but they are
away up among the thousands. Oregon
sent some 600, and it is well known that
but little time and effort was employed
in canvassing with the petitions.
The noble workers who, undaunted
by ridieule and rendered more cour-
ageous aud determined by opposition,
have kept the glorious ensign inscribed
with equal rights, through quarter Of
a century of encouragement, still
proudly floating, are entitled to all
credit, and we feel sure that genera.
tions yet unborn will swell the trumpet
OF their fame, and squint-eyed prejudice
stand blinded by the effulgence of theil
glory.n

The following dispatch, under date of
Washington, January 20, will be of in
terest to Pacific Coast readers: Sargent
presented a petition of male and female
residents of California asking the adop-
ton of the Sixteenth Amendment to the
Constitution of the United States to pre-
vent the disfranchisement of persons on
account Of sex. Referred to committee
on privileges and elections. In present.
ing the petition, Sergeant said the infiu-
ence of women at the polls would purify
elections and give US a better class of
public officials, and the State would be
benefited by comforting the right of suf-
frage upon women; this movement was
growing year by year, and had already
passed the period of ridicule, both in
this country and England.
