To give our readers some idea Of the
usual demands upon a lady editors time
aud attention, we will particularize
events for one day only, that they may
excuse US if, sometimes, something fails
Of receiving that prompt consideration
which We should gladly give could we
afford to hire somebody to do the other
work that cannot be postponed.
A lady from the country wants a
shade Of silk matched. 4 philanthropic
gentleman from a distance has a scheme
for the reclamation Of fallen women,
and wants our cooperation in giving
him the address Of such as may wish to
reform. a lady desires US to procure
the photograph of a deceased friend. y
woman, whose husband is in the State
prison, wants Us to go with her to see
the superintendent Of the railroad to
procure q pass for her to visit the pooI
convict, who has 10 friend save heI

else Of that right. If no power O. ...
United States, nor of any State, car
prive eolored male citizens of their
right to vote, neither can they deprive
the colored female citizen of the exer-
else Of the same right. There can be
no question as to the right of our col
Ored women to vote; and had there
been as much pains taken TO inform
them Of their undispulabIe coustitu-
tional right to vote as there was with
the colored men, this question of Wom-
an Suffrage would long since have been
put to rest. Perhaps the reason why
these colored female citizens have so
long been defrauded Of their rights is,
that the dominant "white male citi-
zen" feared that in admitting the right
of the colored women to vote they
would also be obliged to admit the same
to white women. That is so, gentle
men! But remember that constitu-
tiOnal rights cannot forever be Ignored.
The coiOred women must be admitted
to the polls You cannot refuse them.
The same constitutional euactments
that enfranchised the colored men en-
franchised the colored women; and the
same constitutional enactment that pro-
tects him in bis right to vote protects
her in the exercise Of the same rights;
and if the white women are citizens,
as specified in the Fourteenth Amend
ment, by being born or naturalized in
the United States, and subject to the
jurisdiction thereof, and the Fifteenth
Amendment puts it out of the power of
the United States and of the States to
deny to them the right to vote, they be-
, longing to a race, we do not see how
this just right can be denied them, es-
| pecially when Congress, as authorized
/ by the amendments, passed an act en-
forcing the Fifteenth Amendment and
compelling the states and territories to
carry it into effect; "any constitution,
law, usage, or regulation TO the contrary
Notwithstanding" and imposing heavy
fine on any one who shall obstruct, or
th ahg way iAteAl6lG VITA tue Ii4uL OF
any citizen to vote; or any officer Of
election who shall refuse TO receive the
vote Of any citizen on account of race,
color, or previous condition Of servitude.
We hope our delegates, when assem-
r bled in convention at Walla WaIla, viii
give this subject their gravest attention
and will frame a constitution in accord
ance with the principles of our national
government, remembering that no con.
stitution is valid that conflicts with To,
Fifteenth Amendment.

A VALUABLE DOCUMENT.


The arguments before the committee
on privileges and elections Of the United
States Senate in behalf Of a Sixteenth
Amendment to the United States Con-
stitution, prohibiting the several States
from disfranchising United States citi-
zens on account Of sex, have been COM
piled in pamphlet form and sent broad
cast, under Senatorial frank. To the
able arguments OF a dozen such women
as Clemence :. Lozier, N. D., Julia +.
Smith, the Greek linguist, Elizabeth
Cady Stanton, the world-renowned
stateswOman, and Isabella Beecher
Hooker, the logician and orator. is added
the feeble protest Of poor, weak-minded
Madeline Vinton Dahlgren, whose Opin-
ion OF woman, unrestraiued by laws
made by men alone, is summed up, from
her standpoint, in her closing sentence,
thus: "And 1 implore your honorable
committee, in behalf Of our common
country, not to open a Pandora's box,
6y 1Uay Of experiment, from which so
much evil must ensue, aud which,
opened, may never again be closed. I"
Alas, poor Madeline,

EQUAL PROTECTION OF THE LAWS.

Last week we expressed our opinion
upon the subject Of ife-beating, and
showed the practical reason why beaten
wives are proverbiaIly averse to testify
ing against their husbands and getting
themselves fined, as well as whipped,
through their testimony. We now pre-
sent a case in point. A man named
John Gately lives out on the canyon
road above Portland, whose wife was
induced 10 complain against him for
violence. The wife in this case had no
money to pay the fine, and the husband
was sent to the lookup for twenty-six
days. After being liberated, he pro-
cured bottle Of whisky and went home
very drunk, aud accused her Of having
him arrested, and swore he would take
her life. In his rage he drove her from
the house, and compelled her to pass
the night in the woods; and she states
that be would since have killed her out
right, but for the interference Of the
neighbors. She is in constant fear OI
her life, and has been directed to visit
the magistrates and have her protector
and head bound over to keep the peace
Such a man has no more business run
ming at large than a rabid dog ora wild
hyena Much less business has he tC
make the laws for sober wives and
mothers to abide by and pay taxes tc
support in the shape Of fines for getting
whipped

WHAT Is HONESTY ?

Does national honesty consist In Civ
ing everybody equal opportunity to
share in the public domain, that each
may have an equal chance with all in
the race for life, liberty, and the pursuit
Of happiness? Does it consist in helping
the poor and doing them justice Does
it consist in relieving them from the
usury with which they are struggling,
under mortgages upon real estate, which
no labOring man can ever hope to lift,
and thus enable himself to look up as
a free man2
NOl no! National honesty means,
"Pay the bond-holders who pay no taxes.
Let the nation have the name abroad
of paying those who live on usury. Let
the laboring millions get their pay in
deprecated currency, wherewith to sat
isfy the Shyloeks who demand the
pound of flesh"
But who are they that raise this cry
Of honesty? They are the money chang
ers, who are waxing fat on untaxed and
untaxable bonds, bought at half their
value by depreciating the currency Of
the government These are they who
are exacting usury from the toilers,
whom they nevertheless deny employ
ment, thereby demanding that they
make bricks without straw.
There are tens of thousands of Gods
acres lying idle in Oregon, and thous-
ands of laborers ready 10 till them, but
national honesty" by fiction Of its
own, lays claim to the virgin soil
through individual representatives., who
say Of the land, as others once said Of
the slaves, 81 bought it with my money.
It is honestly mine, and though / do
not choose to till it myself, or pay any
body else to do il, nobody shall have
the right to cultivate it on his own re-
sponsibility. Hogs aud horses, sheep
aud cattle, may roam over it at will,
but humanity must stand aside, for I
am honest, and the national honor is
my protection" But is this honestys
is it honor?

DISAPPOINTED. "

Under this head the gentlemanly edi-
tor Of the LaGrande Sentinel says: 1--WE
were very much disappointed in not
being able to attend the Woman's
Rights Convention at The Cove last
week, but we learn that the Convention
was we'll attended. We do not know
what was done, as we have not been
furnished with a copy of the proceed
ings. We were, however, furnished
with a copy of an address delivered by
Mrs. VI. V. McComas, wife of J. T. Nc
Comas, which we publish ia this weeks
Gazette, which is very creditable to
both the speaker and the Conve ntion.
Mrs. McCOmas is unaccustomed to pub
lie speakingi in all probability this is
the first effort she ever made in that
direction, yet her speech on this oeca-
sion is very far in advance of, and su-
perior to many speeches Of experienced
speakers; and those who were present
say it is much, very much, better, both
for composition aud delivery, than the
address delivered at the same Conven-
ton by a Democratic ex-member of the
last State legislature, who, il is said,
addressed the Convention thus: GEN
TLEsIEN AND FEMALE WoMEN.'"

it is also known that it is the great ben

you remember, well, when, seven or
eight years ago, you began to advocate
womanis right to some share OF selfhood
and property? how preachers eyes were
turned toward you in holy horror, and
pious matrons thought your soul was
eternally lost because you ventured to
doubt the right of ST. Paul TO COM
mand, in the name Of God, that woman
should submit herself 10 her husband for
learning, If she wanted TO know any
thing? how you questioned the propri-
ETY., or the fact, that God required a
smart, intelligent woman to learn OF
her drunken, worthless, debauehed,
thievish, or murderOus husband? how
they called you crazy, and bad, and
every other expletive that their intoler-
ance could invent? Yet you have
worked on, and thousands now see you
were right, and were only giving ex-
preston TO progress and diviner truths,
that keep mapping the ages as the world
rolls on. Keep on, sister; you are in the
good company Of the Glastonbury sis
tiers that resist taxation without repre-
sentation; the Susan b. Anthony that
will trouble old fogies with her vote;
the Doctors Lozier and Walker; the po-
litical orators, Dix and Dickinson, and
the born Senator, Elizabeth Cady STAN
ton. Bye-and-bye, as the descending
light of heaven streams down and illu-
mines this darkened earth, We can ask
for Judgment" as the ball players say,
as to who were the crazy ones, those
who fearlessly advanced into the light
and reflected it upon the slowly advanc-
ing columns, or those who have turned
from US in disgust, denounced us as lu-
natics, and kept themselves safely stored
in their fogy clam shells; those who,
seeing the light, have not dared to brave
the taunt and the sneer, but have shrank
back,
AS turned, as fied false sextus.

The great trouble with Lawson is
that, in his desire to build up a new po.
litical party, he loses sight Of the fact
that the rotten timbers of the old partie:
are the only material he is working
with. Let him stop his fight with labor
and capital and work for wQman's en-.
franchisement, and then there will be
method in his madness about other po.
litical problems, as well as the money
question.
