DOMESTIC RESURRECTION.

The Bee, with its Characteristic enter
prise in searching for items Of interest
TO the puhlic has been examining the
divorce records, and finds that in nearly
every instance where the complainant
has been a woman-anj, with few
exceptions, they are women-the al
legged cause of domestic insurrectiou
has been ''cruel and inhuman treatment
aud personal indignities." Surely, after
looking over this divorce docket, the
most ,houghtless person cannot but
wonder that men should lay so much
claim, as a class, tp the idea that they
are protectors Of women. Now, don't
get scared, every body, aud accuse the
NEW NORTHWEST Of going after the
"tyrant man" Nobody is hit toy hard
facts save those to whom the blow Is APP
plicable. There are bad wives as well
as bad husbands in the land, and the
complaining parties are not all women;
but that the women who find that the pro-
lection nf husbands whom they have
trusted has been "cruel aud inhuman
treatment" from which they have been
obliged to seek redress as above, largely
exceed in number men so situate :, any
one can see who will read for himself.
The NEW NORTHWEST does lot be-
iieve that under proper code Of human
ethics divorce courts would be ueces-
sary. How much a woman will bear
from the inequalities Of a eoujugal posi-
tioa that subjects her to servitule with
out wages, before SHE will take such
questionable refuge as the law grants
her, aud how many women have un-
complainiugly borne the conditions Of
such inequality until death has claimed
them, the world may never know but
we do know that as Intelligence In-
creases, and education among the
younger women becomes general, there
is a growing determination on the part
Of women to break the yoke when they
find it an unequal one.
\ few days ago a worthy lady told us Of
a circumstance which merits a notice in
connection with this discussion of the
divorce question. A young husband
aud his wife, nearly half a century ago,
in western State, "set up for them
selves" on the bounty OF the brides par
ents; but the husband was not pleased
with the outfit, and, to show his iuIig-
nation because he had not received
more, he packed upon a horse the
feather bed that his wife's mother bad
given them, aud compelled his bride to
go back TO her parents with ii, crying
as she went. To-day, in America,
woman knows better than to submit to
such an indignity. Her parents would
willingly take her home from such
husband, and protect her from such in
human treatment by an appeal to the
divorce court. While women have out
grown the old law, the spirit Of its sta
utes aud penalties remains; hence the
record, as the Bee has shown.
There is but one way to quelI do
mestic insurrection, and that is by re-
nouneing the cause for it. Let hus-
bands treat their wives as their equals;
let them claim no prerogatives aud ex-
ereise no rights which they will not un-
hesitatingly grant them, and there will
soou be a marked decrease in the length
Of the divorce docket.

WHY sLEBPBsF THoU7

II the Republican party finds Itself
compelled to pass through the baptism
Of defeat 10 the pending Nationsi strug-
gle, aud learns as a consequences that all
I the Issues Of the shareholders rebellion
are to he fought over agair, it Eill also
he compelled TO see. written upon its
/ trailing hammers in letters as black as
midnight. the snuI- sickeniug words.
"Ye knew your duty. Lut ye did il mott"
We eall remember the story of the hare
TO compliment itself upon its superior
speed; aud, AFTER long bantering, the tor
/ toise laid wager that 70 cuuld beat bis
hardship la a race. The bare started of
ai,h great speed, while the tortoise
plodded leisurely on. Ia little while
the hare was 50 far ahead Of the tortoise
and felt so secure in his position that he
stopped by the wayside To eat his dinner
aud take a nap. The tortoise came up
while his hardship was sleeping, aud
cunningly crept 10y without aWakiug
him, thus winning the race. "Aud now
for the race" thought the hare, when
he opened his eyes; and on he sped
again, only TO fluid, when he reached the
goal, that the tortoise had won il.
The Republican party is taking its
dinner and its nap. II plumes itself
upon its past speed rather than its fu-
ture progress. The Democratic party,
in the meantime, is constantly ploddiug
on. II has accepted the issues Of the
war, aud has appointed Union soldier
TO trail the banner of Jefferson Davis ia
the dast. II the Republican party
does not turn aside at once from
its feasts and its mapping, it will share
the fate Of the hare in its race with the
tortoise. And the verdict of twenty
millions Of women will be, "Ye have
sown as ye reaped."
Power aud place are very seductive
and enj1yable, but they are not princi-
piles, nor are they living issues The
great party that for years has grown fat
from the taxation of unrepresented
women, aud has dared, rs at the Chi
cago Convention when besieged by
Woman Suffragists bearing twenty
thousand letters from as many different
women taxpayers asking for political
recognition on the great platform Of
right, liberty aud justice, TO refuse to
guarantee TO all the citizens republi-
can form Of government-such a party
deserves defeat. Like Pharaoh Of old, il
has hardened its heart. The plague
spots of Egypt are upon it, and the
Democratic pests are gaining ground
daily.
But it is not yet too late for the Re-
publican party to let the people go. It
is not yet too late for it to arouse itself
from its slamber and go forward in the
race. The tortoise hss not yet overtaken
the hare; hut it will surely win the race
in the end if the hare does not awake
and go forward. "Why sleepest thou,
o sluggard ?"

VIOF-PREsIDBNTs, DUTIES.

The time il near at hand when the
next Oregon Legislature will convene,
and il is hoped that the Vice Presidents
Of the State Woman Suffrage Associa-
ton for the several counties will not
fail to act la accordance with the Off
cial instructions received at the meeting
which elected them. They are expected
to correspond with the members-elecf
of both Honses who have been chosen
by men as wOmen's Legislators, and in
struct them in relation to the desire OF
their unrepresented constituency for a
recognition Of their right to a voice in
making the laws they are taxed 10
maintain.
a meeting of the Executive Commit
tee is 10 he called in the near future, aud
in the meantime the Committee hope
to receive letters from these Vice Presi-
dents, stating that they have each and
all complied with the conditions of
their official position, and received salts
factory replies from the incoming law
makers Of their several counties.
There is every reason to believe that
the next Legislature will submit the
question Of Woman Suffrage TO a vote
OF the men of the State This is all the
women ask at present. They believe
the intelligent voices Of men can be
trusted. Oregon is not pestered with
the "greaser" vote Of Colorado nor the
sand-lol rabble Of San Francisco. The
majority Of her voters are men Of intel
ligenee, who are capable Of comprehend
ing the dignity Of citizenship and the
boon that liberty brings to its possessor.
The Legislature will not be disturbed
by the election Of United States Sena-
tor this year-s good reason for heliev-
ing that that augu-t hody will have
time to study principle, and act upon it.
The majority in both Houses is Repub-
licaO, and the Governor is Democratic;
so there will be no danger Of inactiou
for fear Of the political partisanship
that sometimes makes one faction afraid
to commit itself because the other dsres
not.
We believe that the Vice Presidents
Of the o. 5. w. 5. a. will do their mar,
Of the work and do it we'll. We prga
them to begin 'oig. By corresponding
with members-elect, they may interss,
some Of them in the subject " no b.,s
scarcely yet given it a thought. Letters
from ee-Presidents or Others iprendad
for the Committee may be Forwarded -

CHICAGO MASS MEETING

The mass meeting Of women at Chi
esgo, called for June -, gave promise
of such extended interest that Farwell
Hall was also engaged for June lst, aud
Sd continued was the interest that before
the second days proceedings closed
money was voluntarily raised by the
audience To continue the meeting the
third day. The number of p0stsls and
letters addressed TO this Convention from
women who desire to vote was very
great. The whole time Of each session
could have been spent in simply reading
these. They represented many thous-
and women from every section Of the
Union, one days mail alone bringing
letters or pos,als from the following
states and Territories, viz Maine, New
Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts,
Connecticut, Rhode Island, New York,
New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Alabama,
Florida, Texas, Michigan, Ohio, In
diana, Illinois, Wisconsin, Iowa, Min
nesota, Missouri, Kansas, Kentucky,
Neoraskai California, Oregon, the Ter
ritOIies Of Arizona, Dakota and Wash
ington, aud also a letter from one Of our
officers residing in England.
So highly important a contribution to
history does the Chicago Historical So
ciety deem these expressions Of wOman's
desire to vote, that it has made formal
request to be put in possession Of al
these letters and poslals, aud will care
fully guard them in fire proof safe. In
bis letter Of request, Mr.. Albert Hayes,
tie Secretary, says that in one hundred
years from now those letters will be
looked upon with the same interest aud
be held as valuable as the manuscript
letters and papers Connected with the
Declaration OF Independence would now
be, had they been preserved.

WHY DIDN'T He GN?-Speaking
of the hanging Of Mrs. S.irratt, the Eu-
reka Leader says:
Hancock might not have been able to
prevent Mrs. Surratt's expiating her
crime on the gailows, bat if he consid-
cred her an Innocent victim, there was
40 power on earth that could have COM
PEELED him TO acquiesce in her sentence
or carry IL into effect. His resignation
would have relieved him from all re-
spOnsibility and cleared him of all com
plicity in her death. That ne did not
resign is proof positive that he cOnsid-
cred her guilty Of the crime charged
against her, and meriting an ignomini-
nus death on the scHflnld. The Dpmoc-
rHcy has alwsvs charged that the hang
ing Of Mrs. Surrstt was an atrncious
murder Of an innocent woman, against
whom no crime was proved or provable.
II this is 20, their candidate for Presi-
dent cannot escape the charge of being
at least an accessory to this sO-ealled
murder of al innocent woman"

Matilda JOslyn Gage says that the
most Illuminating sight OF the whole Re

the call made by the three New York

room at the Grand Pacific, where Susan

life as pure and uusullied as an angels.
stood by the table and plead with Ros-
coe COnklinE for recognition Of the
rights Of her sex. Near her stood Mrs
Gage aud Mrs. Blake, while through
the open door into the hall could be seen
tier upon tier of meu's heads, each
over the shoulder Of the other, look
ing and listening in silence TO catch
what might be said. COnkling, in his
lordly way, the despnt that he is, with
whom not even his own family is at

has often touched, stood grimly silent
