A LOGICAL CONCLUSION.

The Roseburg Independent says the
doctrine Of Woman Suffrage, il carried
out, would, in the essence OF its areu-
ment, bind two men together in order
that there might be family raised"
OF all the arguments ever made against
the ballot for women, this is the hardest
to refute. We are so puzzled that we
would fain consider the remark irouieal
The whole subject is grasped, its aim
understood, its result foreshadowed. its
danger revealed, its doom sealed. The
sage Of Roseburg has done the country
as much service in destroying the march
Of the wOman's emancipation idea as
did our representative in Congress
when he made his famous ride to Wash
ingtOn TO prevent the country from fall
ing into the hands Of Northern Demo-
Gratis and gave it up TO Southern rebels.
The absurdity Of woman's claim to
being mans equal is made more ap-
parent by the Independent than was the
iallacy Of negro suffrage by the clinch-
ing inquiry to a champion Of the
slaves rights: "Do you want your
daughter to marry a niger ?'' II men
are to be forced by Woman Suffrage to
raise families alone, we say most en-
phatically, "Down with the fatal
heresy % Men are so notoriously inca
pable Of raising families, unless assisted
by women, that we shudder to think Of
the consequences when women refuse
to help them. And We have the word
Of the Independent, an undonbted au-
thority, for it that women will refuse.
A man and his wife are walking
along a street, and be deposits a vote in
the ballot-box; the woman has a
choice Of candidates, and also deposits a
slip OF paper on which are printed the
names Of preferred nominees there
fore, the woman is a man!

A NEGLECTED "WOMAN's RIGHT. -

l have listened to the cry Of "wom-
ans rights'-this elamoring for the
ballot for redress Of woman's wrongs
and | cannot but think, amid it all,
that there is one "wOiuau's right"-the
right that could make the widest re-
dress for wOman's wrongs-whieh she
holds in her own hand and does not ex-
ercise. II is the right to defend, to up
lift and ennoble womankind to be as
lenlent to a plea for mercy from a
fallen woman as though that plea had
come from the lips Of a fallen man to
throw around her also the broad mantle
Of charity, and, II she would try to re-
form, give her a chance. Far be il from
any honest woman to counteuance the
abandoned wretch who plies an unholy
calling in defiance of all morality, for
her very breath is contamination but
why should you greet with smiles and
warmest hand-clssps OF friendship the
man who pays his money for her black
ened soul3 When two human beings,
ruled by the same mysterious nature,
have yielded to temptations aud fallen,
what is this monster OF social distinction
that excuses the sin of one as a folly or
indiscretion, while II makes that Of the
other a crime, which a lifetime cannot
retrieve? 1t is a strange justice that
condOnes the fault of one while 1t con-
demns the other even TO death that
gives to one, when dead, funeral rite I
and Christian burial, and to the other
the Morgue and a dishonored grave,
simply because one is a strong man and /
the other weak woman. And ii is |
stranger, sadder truth that tits woman's

THE ANTI-RENT AGITATION

That the inhabitants OF Ireland have
just cause for the present agitation for
the reduction Of high rent for barely
enough ground upon which to raise the
necessaries Of life, is granted by those
who are sufficiently advanced to
comprehend that no one has a right to
the ownership OF more Of earth than he
can use. The Irish have borne with
fortitude the tyranny Of land.holders,
but the past year was 80 disastrous that
il was impossible to pay the rental de-
manded. They have risen in their
might, and every lover Of liberty ad-
mires them. Their cOuntrymen
throughout the world are sending them
assistance, and it is to be hoped that
their cause will triumph.
In America there is some sympathy
manifested for the agitators, and it
would be almost universal, only that
the Irish who come to our shores will
not accept the very rights for which
they clamor ia their native isle. They
can pre-empt and settle upon good land
in this country, yet an immense ma
jority Of them prefer the cities. Very
few Irish farmers are known in
America; but immense numbers Of
them are recorded as common laborers.
1t is hoped, for the credit Of the En-
erald Isle, that the agitators who are
creating the present furore are more in
earnest than their countrymen who
reach the United States. The sympathy
Of the American people will only be a
mild endorsement of the present up
rising while the emigrants from that
country refuse the benefits accorded
them by our laws. When the Irish
leave the cities, stop trying to "run"
our country for US, quit oilice-hunting,
and proper portion Of them seek agri-
culture as a vocation, then will the
American people become enthusiastic in
their zeal to help the oppressed Of
Ireland.

WHO SHALL BE CHAIRMAN 2

Our regular New York correspondent,
August" writes that there is at pres
ent much agitation in Republican
circles in the East in regard to the Sc
lection Of a chairman for the National
Republican Committee, which position
was made vacant by the death Of SEN
ator Chandler, Of Michigan. There is
no doubt whatever as to the complexion
Of the committee. It is thoroughly
committed to Grant, and, while the
wires are being silently worked in the
interest Of Conkling, the favortte for
the second place seems at present to be
Blaine. This, OF course, will largely
influence the choice, both Of the chair
man and the place for holding the next
National Convention. Ii is apparently
for the interest of Secretary Sherman
that the Convention should not be held
at Chicago. At any rate, all the Re-
publican managers agree that such is
the case, and that Grants and Blaine's
interests seem to be looked upon as
identical, aud it is generally assumed
that, should Grant decline the noniina-
tion, and Conkling give his gracious
consent, his strength would be trans
ferred to the gentleman from Maine.
As matters now stand, the Grant men
will control the meeting Of the National
Committee, which will be held in
Washington on the 18th inst OF all
men In Washington, Senator COnkling
is the most powerful and Influential Of
the Grant men, aud will be able to
name the chairman. In this con-
nectiOn, as has been already noted,
GOveruOr-eleet Cornell is an aspirant
for the dead Senator's shoes. Mr..
Cornell demonstrated a good deal Of
weakness in the late election, and it is
said by New York Republicans, with
good deal of forceful energy, that Mr.
Cornell made q remarkably poor chair
man Of the New York State Republican
Committee. This may have some in
fueuce against him, aud it probably
will, IT, as it is rumored, ex-COllector
Arthur has aspirations for the place.
Mr.. Arthur is quite as much a favorite
Of the New York Senators as is Mr..
Cornell, and an infinitely more capable
man. In addition to the others, many
Of the stalwart Republicans have sug-
gested the name Of Assistant Post
master-General Brady for the post
Mr.. Brady attended to affairs in Florida
with a good deal Of that peculiar talent
which seems necessary for the proper
equipment Of the chairman OF the
National Republican Committee, and il
is thought by the most stalwart Of the
stalwsrts that just such a man as he
should succeed the late Senator
Chandler. The place for holding the
Convention will probably be in
Chicago.

JUSTICE TO GOVERNOR FERRY.


Mrs. Packard recently stated that
Governor Ferry of Washington Terri
tory refused to sign a certain bill be-
cause it conferred suffrage upon women.
She also said that she was opposed to
Woman Suffrage, although she had
made excellent arguments in its favor.
It appeared that she was using a littl.
policy or strategy to get the bill signed
However, the act was changed, and il
was expressly stipulated that the law
should not be construed as giving suf-
ffage to women. This bill the Cover
nor signed, and il is now a law OF the
Territory. While reading Mrs. Pack
ards manifestoi in the Olympia Standard
in regard to the matter, we were some
what surprised at the assertion made in
regard to the Governors views, as well
as Mrs. Packard's statement Of her own
convictions. We believe Governor
Ferry to be a man Of advanced ideas,
and take pleasure in reprinting the fol-
lowing from the Puget Sound Courier,
which will satisfy Woman SufTragists
that the Chief Executive OF Washing
ton Territory is cognizant Of the disa-
bilities Of which they complain:
Governor Ferry did not refuse 10 sign the
JIu named, "because II conferred the right
10 vote upon woman" He based his refusal
10 sign the bin upon the ground OF the UNcER-
TAISTY whether or not % conferred such right
He claimed that such an important measure
should not be smuggled through the Leglsla-
ture, but that, II they desired 10 confer the
right Of suffrage on women, they must pass a
bill 10 that effect and present IL too him in due
form. In addition may be added, that had
such bin been presented to him, il would
have become law

IL the Republicans succeed in re-
constructing our form Of government
and cutting up the country into de-
partments or provinces, we suppose
there will be great many such divis-
ions so as to reward the party scull-

change. We suppose the department
of Kentucky will have over it Project
Walter Evans, or Project Dembitz, OF
Project Murray; the department Of
Ohio will have Project Deacon Rich.
ard Smith, or Project Halstead, or
Project Comfy, or Project Taft; the
