LETTER FROM MRS. FOLTz.

To THE EDITOR OF THE NEW NORrHw EST:
1 have just returned from Sacramento,
whittier went to convince the mem
Jers of the assembly Of the wisdom and
justice of the passage Of the woman law
yer's bill, and which, am glad to in
form you, did, after desperate struggle,
pass by a vote of thirty-seven to thirty
five. / sought an interview with the
governor, and ventured to ask his ex-
cellency to aflix his signature to the
bill. He smiled complacently and re-
piled: every we'll, madam, when the
bill comes in 1 will examine it." Icon
fess my heart grew somewhat faint as
stood before my governor, whom The
men had seen fit to say to rule over me,
and who had no reason whatever to re-
spect my earnest request. I, neverthe-
less, battled my faint as my wrath
waxed hot, and again declared to my
self that my rights as an American
citizen shall be respected sooner or
later. I consoled myself with the
thought that should the governor refuse
to sign the bill, the intelligent gentle
man Of the assembly and the Senate
had received q direct insult, aud that if
he thought to make votes by refusing
to sign it, he would fail in his count.
However, have every reason to feel
encouraged, and even if the governor
should ignore the bill entirely, yet
feel that women have gained strong
point. CLARA NJ. FoLTz.
San Jose, March 81, 1873.
1Governor Irwin signed the bill re-
ferred to above under circumstances
that entitle him to the commentator
Of all lovers Of justice.-ED.l

FOREIGN NEWS.

Roumania's recent efforts to induce
Servia to make common cause with her
has been unsuccessful.
The trial OF Suleiman Pasha has COM
menced. His condemnation is regarded
as extremely probably.
Russians from Erzeroum are march
ing to Batoum, where, it is believed,
they will embark for Bessarabia.
Russians have invited all the towns
Of Bulgaria to send delegates to Phillip
popolis for the election OF a prince.
It is said Russia is looking for loan
in America. II is understood negotia-
tions are also opened in Germany aud
Holland.
Circassians and other irregulars under
Assaf Pasha have massacred between
eight and nine hundred persons, OF all
ages and sexes, at Palatiga.
Preparations are being made in Rus
sia for the organization Of the general
levy. Passports will only be issued to
persons over forty-six years Of age.
a Vienna correspondent asserts that
the Russians have sent large quantity
Of torpedoes TO the mouths Of the Dan
ube, ready to block the stream again.
Greeks and Bulgarians, Roumania
and Thrace, are quarreling about the
possession Of the Greek churches, ap-
pealing to Russians aud Turks for sup
port.
\ special from Turin, Servia, reports
10000 Roumanian troops concentrated
there. Prince Charles isexpected. The
feeling Of the troops against Russia is
very bitter.
The situation at Constautinople is
still regarded dangerous to peace, not
withstanding the protestations of the
Porte. There are intrigues going on
among the Pashas, and the discretion OF
the Russian commander and Of Layard
is doubted.

CONVERSATION AND pRBATB.

Not many miles away from Portland
lives and hourishes a university. The
young ladies thereunto belonging a few
years since conceived the enterprising
idea Of forming a debating society in
with the school. This, Of
course, could only be done by permis-
sion Of the faculty" aud this authori-
tive body was in perpetual terror lest
the young lady students should get tout
of their sphere" This debating society
question Of course savored of strong
mindedness, and must be guarded care
fully. After due deliberation the sapient
professors decided TO allow the forma-
tion Of the society, stipulating, how
ever, that it be called a Conversation
Society" The girls, snufiing wordy
bottles from afar, consented to the mis-
nomer, and to convince any one that it
is such, il is only necessary to hear the
negative aud Affirmative discuss "WOm-
an Suffrage" on some Friday afternoon.
Our word for il, the straight-laced pro-
fessors wouldn't get TO take much part
in the conversation" there carried on.
The girls of Eugene call debates by
their right names, and are thus noticed
by the State Journal, "The Eutaxian
Society had up before them for discus
sion lastevening the question, 'RcsOlrcd,
That teachers exercise more iuhuence
in forming the character Of the young
than parents, The speakers who had
been appointed on the side of the affirm
ative were Lou Foley, Mary Hayes,
Agnes Osburn, Mary Hill, and Eva
Rice; on the negative were Ada Brum-
ley, Laetitia Walker, Emma Pearce,
Mollie Bowen, and Aggie Mccormack.
Most OF the above were present, and
zealously participated in the discussion.
The decision of the committee was for
the negative"

BEEOHER- -TILTOy AGAIN.

We had hoped the terrible Beecher-
Tilton scandal to be a thing Of the past,
as any amount of assertion and denial
from the parties accused is not likely at
this late day to change the opinion Of a
single fair-minded man or woman on
the subject. A full letter Of confession
from Mrs. Tilton, who, to view the case
as one may, is certainly a fit subject for
the worlds pity, is now published, sup
plemented by a note Of emphatic denial
from Mr.. Beecher. And so the contro-
versy is again opened, and again, we
presume, will this great alleged crimi-
nality be submitted to the world in de-
tail. The last and most ridiculous fea-
ture is the charge made by some mem
bers Of Plymouth Church against Mrs.
Tilton Of having slandered her pastor,r
which charge will be examined by the
investigating committee and reported to
the congregation. It is not believed by
members OF Plymouth Church that Mrs.
Tilton will make any defense. The
trial Of Beecher upon the action brought
against him by Theodore Tilton to re-
cover $50. 600 is held to be still in abey-
ance, as the jury failed to agree, and a
new jury can be impanneled, and the
whole evidence brought out again with
the addition Of Mrs. Tilton's confession.

LETTER FROM JACKSON COUNTY.

To THE EDITOR OF THE NEW NORTHWEST;
1t affords me much pleasure to hear
OF your safe return to our beloved State.
Accept my congratulations on your i'm
proved health and recr1ited energy for
work in the cause of justice.
The people are gradually opening
their eyes to the fact that women Of the
present age are as much interested in
having wholesome laws and good gov
ernment as are men. Still, there is a
certain class Of persons who are always
many years behind every progressive
idea, and who oppose every proposition
for advancement, clinging to their old
fogy notions until they are overwhelmed
by the tide of progress. I find myself
constantly repeating the language used
by friend of mine last fall. Nothing
disgusts me with a man, so suddenly
and thoroughly, as to hear him POM
posly assert that man was born to rule,
and woman was created for mans COM
fort and convenience, possessing no
right to express an opinion, ETC., etc. "
Now, I think it is little short Of bias
phemy to attribute such injustice to our
creator; it irritates me beyond express
sion. The fact that man was created
stronger than woman is no evidence
that he was intended to govern, for
horses are stronger than men, and Of
the favored sex, too, yet no one supposes
they were intended to govern. 1t looks
strange that sensible, intelligent women
can respect and sometimes love men
who advance such contemptibly narrow
ideas.
In contrast with the past mentioned
example of masculine assumption, it is
such a luxury to meet las we frequently
do with men who are just and brave
enough to assert that women are as
competent to vote understandingly as
are men, having been endowed with
brains, aspirations, and ambition, the
exact counterpart of man, and a much
nicer sense Of morality, and, therefore,
as a class less liable to be influenced by
whisky, or money. Just here think
we find the secret of the opposition Of
politicians Of certain class.

Three Planks

From a long and wordy platform"
put forth by Mart Brown, John Myers,
Ct a., for the Democracy Of Oregon, we
give the following as the vote-eatching,
and withal the best "planks:"
SEC. .. That we heartily approve the
action Of Congress in remonetizing sill
yer. That We believe that all money
made or issued by the government
should be of equal value, and that we
are in favor of paying all the obligations
Of the government in greeubacks, so
called, when the pecuniary interest of
the people is promoted thereby, except
where otherwise expressly provided.
SEC. g. That we favor continued agi-
tatiou on the subject of MongOlian im-
migration to this country until the Fed
eral government is moved to modify
our treaties with the Chinese Empire
so as to prohibit il, and thus save those
of our fellOw-eitizens who depend upon
labor for a support, from unjust and de-
grading competition.
SEC. II. That universal education
and the general diffusion of learning
I being the principal bulwark Of Ameri-
can liberty, we are in favor of sustain
ing and protecting our public school
system for the faithful education of the
rising generation.
