FRIDAY.. DECEMBER 13, 1872. OUB SUNDAY EVENING LECTUBE. These lectures, which began as a sort of experiment, over which we felt many solicitious misgivingfi, are succeeding so far beyond our bumble expectations that we have decided to continue them as long as they are largely attended, or at least until our necessary home de mand for bread and become so urgent as to compel us to absent oursclf from the city for weeks together. Our main source of revenue during the past year has been derived from village lectureB. Everybody knows there is no money in a weekly newspaper outside of its ex penses, neither are the collections sufll cient in city lectures to more than de fray expenses of hall, advertising, light and fuel; but our heart is in this city work, and just as long as we can afford It, we shall be found regularly at our post. "We have contracted for printed cards for the audience, containing appropriate Sunday evening hymns, which arc- to be sung to good old tunes in whici everybody can join, and we hoiie to make social singing a profitable feature of the meetings. Thesubject chosen for the next lecture is "Amusements Their Lses and Abuses." The lecture upon Polygamy was very largely attended, and, at the request of many friends, will be repeated on some week day evening when we can obtain a suitable hall. SHIELD US, SOMEBODY, DO ! The Catltolic Sentinel is after us with two daggers. We wish we had space for the column of stupid spleen and ex ploded nonsense, which that head-hidden scribbler thrusts at us with these "t t." "We'd like to give the public an opportunity to behold the frightened antics of thestirred-up priesthood. But we cannot refrain from presenting just one paragraph, and just to show that our hidden reviler has implicated his daggers to fight that concerning which his own imagination has befogged him, we give the following specimen of his incoherent babbling: Catliollc ladies have a higher sense of the beautiful, and refuse to accept the admiration of loafers and the dregs of society who run to hear a flippant woman either vilifying or dab bling In Ulble questions. Mesdamcs DeStacl and Montague did not court the unsavory com pany of those who have "no particular place of worship." They cultivated the higher walk of literature; anu eievaieu ineir ienow ueings uy kindness and not by abuse and rude words. That allusion to "the dregs of society" is a fine compliment to the best and pure.-t of our Portland people, who flock to our lectures in such numbers that it is little wonder that the priests are scared; and that thrust at the "unsavory company" of those "who have no par ticular place of worship" is a lame at tempt to flatter "Catholic ladies" into believing it to be beneath their "higher tense of the beautiful" to exercise a lit tle of their own good judgment. Such a conglomeration of detraction and but tered soft sawder cannot be thrust down the throats of people of brains even by the daggers of anonymous prescription ists. Let him of the daggers console himself with the reflection that just so longas five hundred eager listeners from all churches are ready and willing to wait upon our humble efforts, just so long we are ready to do the very best we can for them, 15oui.ni bulls and Protest ant anathemas to the contrary notwith standing. Vt'o make no war upon any body's religion, sect or creed. V'e are after truth and truth only, and we prefer to receive it from the great Fountain of all good, before it has been Altered through the stupid brains of fat curates or the silly dogmas of self-righteous ac cusers who seek to frighten us by in vidious comparisons or Pharisaical wails of affected modesty. If we had feared such-dog-in-the-manger snarlings, we should have never dared to undertake our work, and now, as the fangs of vituperation are diverted of their power to harm us, we are fully determined to continue our talks to the many "good Catholics," whose smiling faces never fail to greet us in tho lecture room, as well as to the hundreds of others who flock to hear us. "Vc are perfectly will ing to declare that wo know little about "theology," so-called. We can read the Bible and draw our own conclusion; can study the beautiful luce of nature and read many of her th robbing mysteries; can see the evil that runs riot in society and the cure for it; the good that might be done and is not, and the necessity that all who have light shall place It, "not under a bushel, but on a candle stick;" and the crowds that come to our lectures give encouraging evidence that we can tell of that we know and testify of that which we have seen; socome on, friends, and the Sentincrs daggers shall not harm you. But shield m, some body, do! THE PEESIDENT'S MESSAGE. This annual document opens with the stereotyped expression of thankfulness to the Giver of all good for the National blessings of the past year. The Boston Are is the one exception to our National financial prosperity, but it is gratifying to le, how like their fellow sufferers of Chicago, under similar circumstances a year earlier, the flre-scourged citizens are rallvinrr frr., .1.... . - . llielr rmsiortunes, a tie uencva Arbitration, after nine mnnlhsnfUl, : . .

Her Majesty is Well pleased with the ability and industry displayed by Mr. Adams, our National arbitrator, anu me 1'resldent proudly acquiesces in her opinion. The thanks of the President are ten dered to the Emperor of Germany for hN arbitration in settling the San Juan boiinderie. These Hands are now in complete possession of the Lnitcd States. It is recommended that final surveys between the English and American bouuderics be made at once, before the dense settling up of tho Bussian Ameri can, and English possessions gives rise to trivial contests that shall causo new feuds between the two Governments. Preparations are making for the In ternational Exhibition to bo held next vear at Vienna on a scale of very great magnitude. It is recommended that the Secretary of theXavy be authorized to fit up two naval vessels to transport between our own ports and Trieste, or the most convenient ports for lenna, the articles for exhibition, The Cuban Rebellion is pronounced a terrible wrong, the natural result of a terrible evil. Regulations for carrying out the laws of emancipation have been announcer." bv the Spanish Government in conformity with tho law of 1S70. Such legislation as may be proper is recom mended to prevent American citizens, resident in Cuba, from dealing In slaves. Tho Treasury and War Departments are treated at much length and the financial showing Is very gratifying. The Signal Service, the Navy De partment and the condition of the Post Office Departments are clearly anil def initely explained. An increase of the commercial carrying trade is urged, and the appropriation of a few million dol lars nnnually for the "next five years recommended for the purpose of reviv ing this trade. The President does not doubt that a great majority of the people in all parts of the country are in favor of the full enjoyment by all classes of persons of those rights to which they are entitled by the Constitution and the laws. The Patent Office, Pensions and the Census are all exhaustively treated. Education, Agriculture, the Centennial Anniversary, Civil Service, and much else which we have not space to notice, receive ample attention hi the Message, which, taken altogether, is the most able production of the kind that wo have yet received as a National docu ment. The genius of Henry Wilson and Geo. H. Williams glistens in every paragraph, and we are badly mistaken if the whole is not their work. The former, if writing alone, would have come out strong on the woman ques tion, and the latter, if writing alone, would have failed to polish the sen tences aud point the periods in their present perfection. With such men as aids to our sagacious Presidental figure head, wo look for another Admlnistra tional term of prosperity yet greater than .the last; and when in the third year of the next Administration Con gress passes, as it surely will, a Uni versal Suflrage law, then the Nation will prepare to enjoy Its Centennial Ju bilee with such united demonstrations of patriotism from a whole people, who are In every senso free and independent as has never yet been imagined in this or any country. AN IMPOST ANT APPEAL. We have received, too lato for its in tended practical use, "An Appeal to the Women of Washington Territory, written for publication in tho journals of that Territory by Dr. Jfary O. Brown. chairman of the Executive Committee of the Territorial Woman Suffrage As- sociation. The local journals refused to publish tho appeal, and retained it so long in their possession that Dr. Brown was unable to forward it to us in the proper season. e respectfully assure our friend the Dr. that a mistake was made in patronizing the man's rights papers with her appeal. The circulation of the New Nohtii- west is quite as good in Washington Territory as is that of any of Its local publications, and her appeal would have been treated in our columns with that respectful consideration which her zeal aud worth so justly merit But better luck next time, good sister. Rally your friends to the support of the People's Paper, and do not hereafter wait for your communications to bo retained by other journals until out of date before you remember your legitimate ally and co-worker. The appeal Is an able and exhaustive argument, urging the women of Wash- ngton Territory to assert their politi cal prerogative under the 14th and 15th Amendments to the Federal Constitu tion. PEBSONAL. We were yesterday honored by a pleasant call from Hon. A.B.Meacham, the Republican Presidential Elector, who has been chosen to carry the party's Oregon vote to Washington. Let the women bear in mind that Mr. M. is the only prominent Republican In Oregon who had the courage totep squarely upon the 14th plank aud stand there during the entire campaign; and let the week-kneed politicians remember that his promotion to positions of honor and trust, will be awarded in proportion to his practical good sense and moral stand ing, while men equally conscientious concerning good principles, willsee their claims allset aside. We wish our friend a pleasant journey and we know he will acquit himself wherever he goes with credit to our State. SHAELING BILLY BUYS. The Eugene Guard came snarling into our sanctum one day this week for the first time in months. We had mourned it as dead, and had stricken it from our exchange list because we thought a corpse would have no need of tho New Northwest, but now that the poor weakling is convalescent and able again to visit us, we are, as ever, ready to return the compliment of an excuange. Fut where have you been, Billy Buys, Billy Buys, Oh, where have jou oeen, snarling Billy? told you had no bread, and wo gave you upfordead! Vnr t, said, snarling Billy. 1 P ADMONITORY. We call the attention of our Republi can contemiiorarlcs to an article from the Liberal Jlepublican in another col umn. That Mr. Sullivan has the Lost of the argument we know you must re luctantly admit. That he fails to con vince us that Democratic Legislatures have in the past, or will in the future. do better if they should cet another majority in either house, has nothing to do with the validity of his argument. With the exception of a few intelligent members, both houses were manned by monkeys, and it is not to be wondered at, that whether such were Republicans or Democrats, they feared to give worn en equal opportunities with themselves, even in the right to petition and remon strate, for there is danger that the wom en might sometime petition the man agers 01 me primaries 10 consider a moderate supply of brains as a requisite qualification of a Legislator. But to the voting Republicans of Oregon the disenfranchised Republicans say beware. We tell you candidly that it is time that you heed our admonitions, We note cheering signs of the limes in our eastern exchanges, many of which, like Jfarjier't and the 7Tmcs are strong for Human Rights, and we are also proud to sec our own Orcgonian, ever deserving ita rauk as leader, giving forth an unmistakable ring of true patrotism. To gain the lespectftil consideration of the respectable portion of the public press Is much, but we demand of our brethren more than this. We demand that they shall impress upon the minds of their leaders the necessity of granting speedy justice to the women whose ef- tuna nave piaceu mem in power, or their political sun will ere long set be hind a cloud of Inky blackness upon which shall be inscribed in lurid letters the mighty words, "Ye knew your duty, but ye did it not!"

That our friends may reap the tho full benefit of such opportunities as we can command to secure themselves an extra supply of good reading, we have made arrangements by which we are enabled to send the New Noutk west and Dcmorcsl's Monthly Maga zinc for one year for $4 50; or for $5 50 3'ou can have the New Nohtuwest, Dcmorctl's Monthly and a splendid pair of chromos (Falls of Niagara, and Yo semite Fails), which could not be pur chased at the book store for less than $10. Orders of this kind must be in variably accompanied by the cash for both publications at once. THAT 0HANGE. The Daily Oregon JJullelin comes out In the size of the Oregonian now, and is manned by some of the best writ ers in the State. H. W. Scott, who takes the leading position, is too well and favorably known to need commen dation from us, and there is not a more promising writer in the State than Sam. Simpson. We have received sub stantial evidence of the change In the Bulletin's ownership in the way of ex change. This courtesy had been denied us under the old management. ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS. M. F. C. : Please address him, stating the fact as you have stated it to us. You are right. M. A. H., Salem : $2 00 currency re ceived and placed to your credit. Very sony to learn of your failing health. Hope you will soon become fully re stored. Mrs. R. A. V., of AValtsburg, writes: "Enclosed you will find $9 00, to be credited us follows. lam much pleased with your paper and will do what I can to aid you in the good work. Hoping you may succeed in thoroughly exposing wrong, I remain, yours truly." We hope, dear R. A. V., that every woman who reads this column will fol low yonr example. J. C. H., Gervals: Tile paper was for warded as per direction. J: M. M., Olympia: Our friends need have no fear that we will cease the pub lication of the New Northwest if they will do their duty to sustain it. Numbers have taken the paper regu larly from the first week of publication until a few weeks ago (when their names were struck oft the list) without paying any attention to the "duns to delinquents;" yet these same "well- wishers" have, niany of them, sent us letters of condolence recently over the probable failure of our enterprise! One such letter as yours, backed by post of- hec orders for new subscribers as evi dence of sincerity, is worth several mil lions of the other kind. M. A. II.: A combination of.sllk and cashmere makes a very fashionable dress. Take tho best narts of your worst worn black silk dress and four yards of black cashmere. Make: xuftlca alter nately of both kinds of goods,-binding each rufllo with the other material. Put them on with a slight fullness, allowing each to overlap the other until you have as many as you want. Finish with a heading to match, between which and the top ruffle you may stitch a bias band of either material. Make polonolse front part cashmere, back part silk, or rice versa, and trim to match skirt. By this combination you can make an elegant suit at a very mod erate expense. Mary.O., Albany: Your two shades of brown Empress cloth will both wash like flannels. Rip apart and pick stitches carefully. Then wash in clean hot suds, taking care to press smoothly beforo quite dry. ITse the two shades to make a new suit after the directions given above for "silk and cashmere." Hattie: Gorge your stomach with cold potatoes and see if you do not for- gei mm; or, netier mm, engage your whole being, soul and body, In some praiseworthy employment, so that you may forget your present morbid Interest in yourself. It is not the fellow that you love so well, but your own pam pered, petted self. If he should prove to be other than the paragon your fancy has painted him, wouldn't you feel ashamed of yourself? Well, no man Is perfect, and no woman either, for that matter, so don't make a fool of yourself because one man has deceived you, But don't forget that potato remedy; or, if it falls, eat cold boiled cabbago. LETTER PEOM THE SAINTS." 'OITY OF Sai.t Lake Citv, Nov. 19, 1S72. Dn.ir. New XoimtwEsT: The battle is fought and the victory won; yet tho victory was so easy and so perfectly overwhelming that It scarcely seems a victory at all. Of course we had no hand in the contest, but no where In the Republic could there have been more interest felt, or moro at stake on the result, than In Utah. Gen eral Grant is vindicated aud the princi ples which he represents triumphant Our people felt happy, jubilant, jolly, and of course such cxhubcrance of feel ing must have vent; so on Tuesday night last, in the "Liberal Institute," mo uemousiraiiou was Held. It was tho intention to have the jollification in front of the Walker House, but the night was cold enough to cool their ar dor a little; hence the change to the hall aforementioned, which was draped for tne occasion with the beautiful emblem of our Nation's glory, the old StarSpan gled Banner; and all felt as they looked upon It that for the next four years, as in tho past, it would be sustained by U. S. Grant and be a beacon light to all the oppressed of the world. Wo did feel a little sorry for our- brethren of "conservatory" propensities, on the principle of pity for the fullcn, but were too happy to follow the Scriptural in juuctiou to "weep with those that weep." Tho speakers on the occasion were ail happy, and where there aro so many brilliant ones it is hard to dis criminate. Thcro were Judge Casey, IateofIIIIuols)JudgeToohy(?)Col.Wicl lzen(?), Judge McKeau, and last, but not least, our Gov. Woods. Judge Toohy said it was not his funeral (ho being Democrat), but ho felt llko rejoicing in the election of Grant nnd Wilson, "and if Gen. Grant had an office to dispose of, he felt patriotic enough to accept it!" This was set down as tho most honest and telling speech of the evening, con siderlng its brovity; and certainly in this instance "brevity was the soul of wit." Judge McKeau mado a neat and pretty speech, which for beauty could not be excelled; and he always say something when he speaks, which is the highest compliment that can be paid to any man Then Gov. Woods was called for, and for a length of time held the audience spell-bound by his eloquence. The Gov cnior is improving each year, and on this occasion came fully up to his hlgl: standard. I predict for him a brilliant future as an orator. Evon now, and ho is still a young man, he ranks among America's first-political speakers, There were other speeches and con gratulations, and at a late hour the meeting adjourned. Throughout the utmost harmony prevailed, and every hotly went home feeling " 'twas good to bo there." As we turned away I could not Iielfi thinking of the "aage-hen of Chappa- qua" and pitying him n little, to sec how his masculine vanity ran away with his judgment. I hope in the "broad fields of literature and science1 which he has chosen he may be happy and sometime perhaps he will give us a dissertation on "what he knows about running for President" and "clasping hands across bloody chasms." "So mote it be." In my last I mentioned the death hy suicide ofMrs. W. F. Bower. Her hus band just one mouth later, not to be outdone by a woman, committed sui cide by blowing out his brains with a revolver. An irreverent friend re marked that "he had too many brains." Be that as it may, they are both gone both victims to the liquor traffic; and yet whisky selling is sucli a retpectable business : men can in&ko money bo fust, and affect so much style, and look so ! wUe. Great God, the sale of the ac- cursed stuff and the misery caused thereby is known onlv to Thee! Thiue eye alone sees tho orphan's tears, and Thlno ear alone hears the widow's ! moaus. Mav the time soon come when ' tho dreadful cause of both shall be swept from this beautiful world into the hell from whence it came. Mr. S. A. Clarke, of the Willamette Farmer, was in the "City of Saints" a few days since taking items. I under stand he is special correspondent of the Sacramento Union. He is as bitter as ho can well be on the Woman Ques tion, and the thought came Into my mind when he remarked that "he did not think it a nice thing for a woman to seek office," that perhaps some woman might excel him and get an official crumb he wanted for himself. I have often noticed that men of broad views and liberal culture are all on the side of Woman Suffrage, and are willing to give woman equal opportunities with her brothers. What do you think? Weather clear, cold and dellghful. Nothing like It anywhere, not even in Oregon. Yours, Sybil. DRUNKENNESS. Druukonnnss is not an apology for the vice and crime which so often accom pany it, but an aggravation of the of fences committed under its wicked in spirations. When a man, under the In fluence of intoxicating liquors, commits murder, he is almost sure to be shielded, at least In part, from the consequences of the .crime under the plea of drunken ness; and his counsel will seek to palll ate the deed with tho plea of Insanity. Human life is too cheap to be safo In a community where men voluntarily put an enemy into their mouths tosteal away their brains. When a man whets his appetite forrtim by taking the social glass, he is preparing himself for the commission of crime. I have been informed by those well acquainted with the circumstance, that some years since a Mr. Burrows, an Englishman living in the vicinity of Forest Grove, a seemingly indulgent husbaud and father, had built a good dwelling house, but ru fused to remove from the old uncomfortable building to tlie new one, always urging some trivial excuse for his strange conduct; but as he was "head of the family," his will, of course, was lair. One evening two neighbors spent the evening very pleas antly at their house, aud during their visit the wife urged her husband to re move. He refused, but they noted nothing strange in his conduct except this refusal. 1'pon their return to their homes, about two miles distant, they noticed a strange light in the direction of Burrows' house, and speeding back on their horses to the scene of conflagra tion, they beheld Burrows walking around the building with a bottle in his hand, in a state of maudlin intoxication, He explained that he had sent his dear family all to rest and he knew he had made tiiem nappy, liio lamuy was murdered and burned within the build ing! Was ho not a murderer in the first degree? Yet lie was acquitted on the ground of insanity. He who voluntarily surrenders his reason upon the altar of appetite courts the calamities, and therefore deserves the penalties that should follow in the wake of intcmperauce. May wc not hope that when the wives and mothers of men have a voice in law-making these things will bo amended? Is there not room for im provement ? Ever for progress, Mrs. O. F. Daniels. "Woman Suffrage. Following are the opinions of some of our contomporles on the question of Woman Suffrage: A recent dispatch from Rochester, New York, says that some little excite ment has been occasioned by the issue of warrants, from tho office of United States Commissioner Stone, for the ar rest of Susan B. Anthony and the four teen other women who voted at that place at the recent general election. The matter is soon to bo decided. Miss Anthony expresses herself as perfectly satisfied, and states that the matter has l . i ...... 1 r-1 . .-. l.n.l nnttnlnnin.! aud the question of woman suffrage will now bo decided in the courts. The ciucstioii naturally arises, what is to be dono with the fair suffragists if mo courts decide mat tney iiau no rignt to vote, and are therefore subject to the penalties of the law? Are they to be duly fined and imprisoned in case the judicial decision is against them? Or will fair-minded judges administer a bland-like reprimand for so heinous an oflence, and bid the fair ones go and sin no more? But, after all, if nothing is in view but tho administration of jus tice, why is it that thousands of men can voto Illegally, as was tne case at the State election in Pennsylvania, and still go free? We apprehend something more than mere enforcement of the law is Involved in the case. It is to deter mine whether wo shall take our fair friends with us when we go to the noils. or whether they shall go without us, or we witnout mem. As to woman sufirace.itself. we would only add that, in view of tho result at tne recent election, tt is demonstrated to almost a certainty that male suflrage Is not'n success. When we take into consideration the fact that hundreds of thousands or mem muse to exercise this blessed privilege of tho free, it Is not at all surprising that the ladies should wish to be placed in anosiUnn where they can enjoy the Immunities of mo uaiioi-Dox. 1'eKin (in.) Jlegister. However much old fogies may growl or even divines protest and splutter, there Is no doubt the cause of woman sutrrage is more silently perhaps, but all the more surely and swiftly, approach ing realization. It has make several long strides, In the last thirty or sixty days, towards success, of which the country scarcely seems aware. The Republican party has secured a wonderful national triumph, one which exc"ed4 even the most sanguine expecta tion of its friends, and Upon a platform one chief plank in which commits the party to the doctrine of woman suf frage. Henry Wilson, the Vice President elect, Is one of tho boldest and oldest champions of woman suffrage in all the country, aud Is nowono of the vice pres idents of the National Woman's Suf frage Association. The suffragists will doubtless, and have a right to, claim that their cause lias thus been passed upon by the na tion and received the endorsement of nearly a million majority, aud tbey may claim too, that this triumph, is largely due to their aid in tho campaign. Besides this, women did vote at the late Presidential election in -several ' places. Some ladies voted in Detroit, Slichigau Susan B. Anthony, and fourteen of her lady friends, voted in Rochester, N. Y. Mrs. A. J. Duniway, and some other ladies, voted in Oregon, aud perhaps others in other places. we merely call attention to mese facts as to matters of current news and public interest, and without committing ourselves upon this subject pro or eon. We will remark, however, that public sentiment would be vastly more easily reconciled to this innovation than it was five vears asro to the extension of suffrage to the negro, and even that did not. uurt anyiKxiyor createa revolution. lAiraimc Sent met.
