1 .MAKCH 2S, 1S7S. TO OUBPATEONS The 2skw Northwest is going to lmvea few months' vacation. Ouryoung ami growing sons have stood faithfully nt the case for twenty-three months, and now, having been prostrated by an attack of measles the prevailing epi demicthey are unable, at once, to re some their work, and the finances of the paper will not justify us in employing other aid, so we now propose to spend a few months In lecturing, organizing suflrago societies, and soliciting finan cial aid for our paper. "We well know that iltc brain of the country are our friends. Our journalistiecareerhas been not only much more pleasant than we expected, but it has and we do not say it boatlngly compelled the admiration of our friends, and awakened the aston ishment of our enemies, "When we resume publication we hope to issue the r.w Northwest both dally ami weekly. A small, spicy, sprightly, wide-awake and cheap even ing paper Is one of the wants of our me tropolis. Tins we propose to furnish, and to gather strength and means for the work, we must have respite for a .while from editorial labors, while our boys must breathe country air, and cul tivate their strength and muscles In outdoor exercises. And now we say to our many friends and patrons who have stood nobly by us in our very expensive enterprise, you will be compelled to re double your diligence. "We have proved that women must have a nctcspapcr. "We have proved that they can enter the field hitherto monopolized by the sterner sex, and wield a jxnrer with the best of them. "Wc have proved that not only one but many women of Oregon, Cali fornia and Washington, hitherto un known to the public, arc logical, Inter esting and ready writers. We have proved that the foremost men of the State, and, indeed, the best men every whore, favor the special object of our mission. Wo have proved that the enemies of women's enfranchisement are to be found only among low, Ignor ant, vulgar and scurillous men and idle, vain, silly, coarse or extremely fashionable women. "We have also proved, as we knew when we begun, that our enterprise would require large ami continued outlay of capital. "We have not proved, however, that many persons are willing to assist, except by the subscription prices of the paper, for which we must of course render a full carfi equivalent, no matter at what pe cuniary sacrifice to ourself. Now, we say to our friends, you must aid lis. A few noble-minded friends have loaned us sums of ten and twenty dollars each, to use without interest until the income of the New Northwest shall justify payment. "We must have one hundred such assistants. We know that we can get them aiHl this we now propose to do. We have earned, and should of right hoW, a lucrative position in the Itepub Hcan party. Tiie women of Orefron have demanded this for our enterprise J and failed. The party has stultified it self in its "mindful obligations to the loyal women" etc etc., and it must take the consequences. Men who have never aided the party in any way that will bear the light are appointed to positions that belong to us, while women, wielding an influence that will, if turned against the party, ruin it in a future election, are left to struggle in pecuniary embar rassments in publishing an influential Itepublieau paper, for the high crime of sx. We are a Republican, on progressive principles, but we shall not stand still because the party does. Last fall, while the thunders from our voice and pen were giving the opposition more anoy ance than all other foes combined, wc urged upon our beaten adversary the fact that "the party that cannot progress must die." We now, in all kindness say the same to our brothers of the Ilo-p-ublienii party. If they fail to fulful their saered obligation to the women of the country, they too must yield to the inevitable law of progression and stand aside for the march of those who will meet the demand of the hour. Lot not our brethren lay the flattering unction to their souls that they will hear of us no more. We are only letting go for a stronger grip. Again we say to our friends, wc shall oxpeet you to aid us in an enterprise in whieh every lover of. Human Bights is interested. W shall visit your towns, your school dietricte, your homes. Wo shall be In every truth a missionary of political righteousness, and shall, in a few months at furthest, return to our editorial post armed anew for the con test. To those whosesubscriptions have not yet oxpired we say, be patient for a while. Fifty-two numbers constitute a year's subscription and you shall have your full quota in time. Exert your selves to send us new subscribers, nnd thus hurry up our work and yours. And now, as we take editorial leave of you for a season let us say as our last word, be faithful to the eternal principles of; American Independence. Bise above' me groveling tlrought that it is the sex, instead of the intellect or individuality of humanity that should enjoy or be de prived of iualieuable immunities. Let us make this government in very deed o the people and by the people, and let equa lly, fidelity aud fraternitv b.onr fraternity be our watchword as the on. years go marching OUR SENATOR. Hon. J. H. Mitchell is making a very favorable impression in Congress, if w are to judge by the reports of the news papers. Wo are proud to have such a representative from our young State aud shall look forward with no little solicitude to his future course on the one live issue of the day, Woman Suffrage. FRIDAY. SCANDAL. Klscwhore we print a "card" and the facts concerning it, to which we desire to call the particular attention of those who best understand it. Some of our friends have regretted that we should have taken any notice of the affair, in asmuch as it but gives the scandal more publicity and "a lie let alone will run itself to death." Now, if the parties personally Interested were the only ones who were concerned, this sophistry might have in it some show of logic, but when we reflect upon the need of a direct death-blow at the root of scandal In the community where this matter is I so rife; when we think of the horrible example set before the young, who are led by such conversation into wicked thoughts, and consequent wicked prac tices; when we think of the many other abominable stories that have had their horrible origin in the same "half-acre" in days when woman had no newspaper power with which to lash the fiendish perpetrators into decency, we are con strained, as a moralist, desiring to de velop the conditions, acts, conversations and cogitations of the people Into higher and purer channels, to meet out punish ment whero punishment is due. We did not expect to gain friends among the guilty by telling the truth. We have historic proof wherein more than ono far mightier than wc has fallen, some even into crucifixion, for con demning guilty defamers, and we well knew that wc should recleve our share of contumely and misrepresentation forstaudingup for justice; but, if we, by having incurred the personal animosity of a few scandal-mongers, shall cause that slander-stricken community to see the exceeding sinfulness of their sin, we care not how much they hate us for our merciful and much needed act. We have no animosity against them, and shall hold no grudge, say they what they may, but we are ready at all times to believe anybody and everybody inno- cent until proven guilty, and so are all ; pcople who have confidence in their own integrity. When men aud women show them-J selves ready to be arraigned against one or more of their number, simply be cause such persons, necessarily, or by accident, are supposed to have had ojt- portunity, provided they had the dispo sition, to do something wicked, it Is high time that community had a scnndal- cmctic; and though it may make the guilty rage, even their clioler will be good for them. We know that the bet ter portion of the citizens of the village and its environs will rejoice that we ' have made the guilty squirm. WOMAN SUPPRAGE IN UTAH. The abominable bill, framed by Sena tor FrelitiKhuyseii of New Jersev. anil I approved by the Senate Judiciary Com- mittee, which was designed as an es pecial blow to Woman Suffrage in Utah Territory, did not meet tho concurrence of the House, and through the efforts of tiie friends of women, has failed to be come a law. This infamous Senator went further, and proposed to rob every woman in thcTerritories of horproperty anu earnings, praying -mat tue com mon law of England, in force in the Col onies of America at the dale of the Dec laration of Indepenccuce be extended over aud declared to be in force in the Territories," etc The common law of England recog nizes the right of tho husband to abso lute owuership in the wife, her property aud earnings; empowers him with the privilege to whip her with a rod not larger than his thumb, amfso on, while to all 'ulents aud purposes she is in the most aoject slavery. We opine that our man's rights brethren who, thank Heaven, are In a constantly Increasing minority in high places, would find snch a storm of indignation raised about their cars in the Territories by the en forcement of such a law, as they now little dream of. Alluding to Suffrage in Utah, the Woman's Journal says, truly: "Wo can understand perfectly well that the 'Gen tiles of Utah,' who are principally min ers and unmarried men without fami lies, feel aggrieved at being out-voted by the Mormons, of whom a largo portion aro women. A husband, wife and grown up daughter count three at the polls, an unmarried man counts ono. But, after all, this is right. Those wom en are entitled to representation. If the Gentile wishes to count three, lot him also marry and rear children. We have no sympathy with Mormonism or any other form of Sectarianism. We abhor polygamy and long to see it suppressed. But the evil of Mormon rule is tempo rary. The disparity in numbers of Mormon and Gentilo women will soon be reversed in favor of the Gentiles. Why then does the Salt Lake Tribune desert a true principlo whicli, if main tained, will prove a permanent and in estimable benefit, for the sake of an im mediate and temporary advantage?" THE "FOREST GROVE INDEPEND- ENT." We have received the initial number of a paper bearing the above title, which wo have not yet had time to examine particularly; but from a hasty glance through it we judge it to be interesting. Wc congratulate the citizens of that lo cality upon such an important acquisi tion to their various enterprises, and re gret the financial disappointment in store for the gentlemen who have un- '"" " dcrtakenlt- ! THE "HEEALD." Hon. A. A. Sargent, of California, j We have been much amused at tho did himself great credit in the House of , gyrations, contortions and new depart neprescntatives by moving an Amend- urcs of our contemporary of the above ment to the Colorado Bill, making the title during the past week; but, as the establishment of Woman Suflracc a Suffrage a condition of her admission, also by pro-. curing an indefinite nostnouomeiitof the ! "Utah Bill." We hope ore long to j Chas. Jewell is retained as editor, and chronicle the fact that our Senator i the paper, whilo claiming to be Demo Mitchell has distinguished himself by 'erotic, Is an avowed Holladay organ, some such action. - '? Conimcnta unnecessary. A GRIEVANCE. Our friend, J. II. D. Henderson, has a grievance. In our strictures upon the action of certain weak-kneed Alliance men, we said that "we had no hesltanc In avowing that if the President pro tern, had been content with the office of executive, instead of assuming the role of dictator" etc., whereupon ourbrother, notwithstanding we sugared the bitter truth with our softest sawder, grew in dignant and stopped Ills paper because, as he said, wc slandered him! Now, whether the above was truth or slander we leave the public to judge. When he first called the meeting to order, Mr. Henderson, in a short address, said, In substance, that in order that the meet ing bo harmonious, they must ignore all side issues and discuss Temperance only; just as if anybody expected to dis cuss anything else except Temperance aud the best way to advance it; unless, indeed they were in the ring of which liyan, Thornton and Wooden formed a part. Then, while the amendment was pending, this same President jwo. tern arose and advised the delegates to vote against the admission of the Suffragists because, in i opinion they werea polit cal party! If that isn't "dictation," what is it? Then, in the unheard of proceeding of calling the roll of old members, by which our delegation was defeated by a majority of five, many re fusing to vote because they were dis gusted with the Intolerance and pro scription of the act, there was evident an unfairness which it is no slander to criticise. Against Mr. Henderson we have no feeling of hostility. He was one of the first men in Oregon to come out for Woman Suffrage, and wc do not forget the past, though he did, seemingly, go back on his record; but his public acts are public pioperty and he cannot pre vent the people from judging them by their fruits. Our columns are open to him and all others with a grievance, who may de- sire to be beard, and we say to him in all kindness that a far better way than stopping the paper to get redress for a real or imaginary wrong, is to use the same columns that attack you for your i women'8 "protectors." How far you own defense, that the same people who , ,lavc proved yourself a disciple of Jesus, see the attack may have an opportunity j a,,d towhatan extent youcan be trusted to sec the other side. This is tho only , to "protect" women, the above adver fair style of journalism, and one to ' tlsement showetli clearly. So much which we shall in the future, as ui the ! for what you profess to be and what you past, strictly adiiere. Truth wrongs no body, and to the tribunal of the people everybody, can look for justice, pro vided this tribunal can see aud knoval! t'e facts and circumstances, THE CENTRAL MARKET.

A pyramidal fountain has recently been erected for the central sltuid, which the enterprising proprietors purchased in San Francisco at a cost of some three thousand dollars. This ornament con sists of six octagonal stands, or vasas, each growing smaller as they ascend, and each subdivided so as to present a double front from botii sides, the cflect of which is vastly multiplied by mir rors, with silvered subdividing rods, whicli reflect the exotics with which tho various vases are adorned in such a way as to give the beholder a pictured view of many more plants than the stand will hold. At the summit is a silver plated crown with glass sides, while a strong, silver plated railing, about a hundred feet in circum ference, surrounds the whole, serving as protection as well as ornament to the pa rani id. Tho Central Market occupies the en tire depth of tho block, and fronts to tiie east aud west. It Is the intention of the proprietors to finish and furnish a hand some theatre in tho spacious room above, which will be in keeping with the elegant design of the building throughout. Wc are pleased to note such evidences of enterprise and im provement among wealthy men, espe cially when tiie good fortune of success and plenty crowns the efforts of such pioneers as Capt. Ankony, who by fair dealing, steady industry and intelligent attention to business has amassed a for tune which lie knows how to make use ful to the public. A SPLENDID OFFER. It is well known that the regular sub scription price to DemorcsVs Magazine is S3 00. That our friends may reap the the full benefit of such opportunities as wc can command to secure themselves an extra supply of good rending, we have made arrangements by which we are enabled to send the New North west and DcmoresCs Monthly Maga zine for one year for $4 50; or for $o 50 you can have the New Northwest, DemorcsVs Monthly and a splendid pair of chromos (Falls of Niagara, and Yo semito Falls), which could not be pur chased at the book store for less than $10.

I say this much that no excuse may be inter posed for not seeking that sort of legal redress which Is alwavs open to Innocence, and from a resort to which innocence lius nothing to fear. John 1Iii:i. The above, from the- advertising col umns of a local contemporary, being a lame attempt on the part of the owner of the euphonious signature attached, to justify himself for placing a scandalous j libel "on even tongue In his vicinity," thereby making the air of that delight ful locality reek witli the cfiervesence of his own pollution, wc republish in these column--, that he may havo the benefit or it gratis. Aud now "John llird," the New Northwest, always "the champion" j of justice, haviug given you the above benefit, shall unsheath her pen and pro ceed to review your "card," and see what there is in it; but to do tills ellec tualiy we are compelled to give further publicity to that scandal of which you will yet further "regret the necessity" beforo we shall have done with you. You, "John Bird," profess to be one of the "pure In heart," that "thinketh no evil." Yon are an orthodox, and, pre vious to having proved yourself a pru rient spy upon the private walks of la dies, were considered a respectable member of the church of Jesus of Naza reth, who not only never was guilty of suspecting women of improper conduct which lie could only prove by his own footprints, but who, when a woman was brought to him under positive accusation of having committed a crime, said simply, "Neither do I condemn thee, go and sin no more." And you, "John Bird," also profess to be opposed to the enfranchisement of women, on the cround that men are arc not. Now for your "vcracitv." and the attempt of tho New Northwest "to bid bold and wanton defiance to a public sentiment generally on the side of chastity." Our readers have but to re-peruse the article which you thus nt- tempt to bcslinie, and theii re-read the above accusation against the aforesaid article to prove you a most unmitigated liar, whosoown evidence is his strongest ; possible adversary. That article was . tint At.lr Il.l..n...

Just how "little you may be at fault" for having your name "connected witli tho matter," the abovo explanation will show. Now, "John Bird," having proved you a liar by two most iiositive acts and statements of your own volun tary will, how far are you to be believed on your other testimony? A man who will tell one lie will fro, and the man who will tell tico will swear to both of them. As married women are "protected" (1) Heaven save the mark! by men, and are in consequence unable to prosecute a slandering villain unless through their : husbands, and as the husband of the' lady in question can bring more than . one substantial witness who will readily; swear that they would not believe you j or your lecherous accomplice on oath, aud consequently, ho for the present at least, declines to prosecute you, it is a very poor argument against tho lady that such as you should challenge her to do that whicli, being in the situation politically of a child, insane person or criminal, (Just as your wife Is, she has no power to do. Again, "John llinl,'.' when you speak "of legal redress being open to innocence" you very well know you are telling another lie. The inno cent woman naturally shrinks from the coarse ribaldry and obscene publicity of a trial for slander. Besides the previous character of your accursed accomplice, aud the present light in which you stand before the intelligent better portion of . the community, who judge you by the companyyou keep, the tracks you make j and the words you utter, renders it I certain that you would stop at no vil lainy in the way of suborning anti-suffrage witnesses against your betters.

HOME AGAIN. Mr. Ben Holladay arrived in Portland on Sunday oflast week, after an absence of several mouths. As the steamer neared the wharf a salute to the citv was fired from its guns and a crowd of sneelntnrs issemoieu on the docks to gaze at or greet tiie railroad potentate, i as he paced the stenmer- m . ' self-consciousness that said, "I'm mon arch of all I survey." On the following evening a serenade was tendered him, and speeches of welcome were made by Hons. J. X. Dolph and J. F. Caples, af ter winch, as wc read in his personal journals, free lunch, free jokes, free wines and so forth were heartily in dulged in by the voting sex. The above is given as a matter of news. Now for comments: Wc have alwavs admired the financial ability displayed by Ben Holladay in raising from obscu rity and poverty to the supreme control of magnificent enterprises. Personally we ought to dislike him much, because he has always treated us shabbily; but we know that his man Friday, whom he has' a perfect right to hire as a body sen-ant, has caused him to do so, and we do not care. If the men who cry " monopoly, op pression, ruin, taxation and one-man power," would use a little more com mon seuso and much less invective against men who simply use and con trol the system of finance, foster ed by the government, they might have some show of success, but while allarestrugglingly clambering toward such a goal as Holladay has readi ed, it is simply silly to derido him because he is successful. Messrs. Teal and Goldsmith are working, just as he works, to get all they can and keep all they get. They and Holladay are developing the resources of the country and we rejoice that they are succeeding; but to healthy competition only can the people look for freedom from financial despotism. Our whole system of finance, is radi cally wrong. The ricli are constantly growing richeraud the poor poorer. To the government alone should belong lauded titles and transportation enter prises, and to this idea must this peo ple's government arrive at last. The first grand step toward this goal is to make ail the people free. Accomplish tills aud the rest will follow. DOES YOURPAPER PAY ? This question has been asked us so of ten by friends who are much interested in our enterprise because it is their work as well as ours, that we will now make a statement of facts, that they may know upon what wo base our calcula tions for the future. Wo have made the New Nokth west pay, by doing all the work within our own family, and had we been out of debt at the commencement of publi cation would now be in easy circum stances, wniie our possessions, never great, are equal to what they were when wo began, our indebtedness is less by fif- ' teen Hundred noiiars man two years since. And if we were able to endure the . amount of mental and physicil labor ! two years longer that we have borne ! since this public work began, wc should then havo no further embarrassment. But the labor we are performing Is sui cide. Four of tiie strongest men in the State would break down under it, and wo shall not attempt it lomrer. Wo iiuuub Keep up me paper anu pay in terest without this extra exertion, and the public, who reap tho benefit of our labors, will be compelled hereafter to help foot tho bills. We have found a ! fow tried and trusty friends who realize the fact that all (his load is more than. our share of the public burden, ami wc j shall find many more.

I ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS. Nellie Mossman, Olympia, writes as follows: "Will you please send the mouey back to Olympia, to Mrs. M. Vincent, if you cannot send the Demo rcst Magazine? She is very anxious to get the book, but as it does not come, wants to so the money for other pur poses. .Neither of us have received the Magazine and chromo, although the paper comes regularly. What does It mean ? This is tho second letter I have written upon the subject and hope to hear from you immediately." If there IS one thing more annoying than all things else it is a failure of this kiud on the part of the mails, or publishers of peri odicals, one or both, to do their duty. It has now been about two months since we sent a club of fivo subscribers and money order from this office to W. Jen nings Demorest, and from three of tho five we hear the complaint that thej have not received their property. The well known character of the Magazine leads us to believe it impossible that the fault lies with its proprietors, but as that will not, aud should nor, salisfy our patrons and theirs, wo print the above that all may see that wo have done our duty. Will write them pri vately inclosing your note. Exeter Mills, Maine: You should ad dress the proprietors. If subscribers fail to receive a number or numbers of a magazine ordered by another publica tion they must hold the owneis of such magazine responsible. Wc pay over the money to them when we order the pub lication and there our responsibility ceascs. Many thanks for your words of cheer. We hope in a few months to re new our work, making our paper better than ever before, because we shall by that time have so arranged our business that we can devote more time to edito rials, Mrs. H. C, Salem, writes: "I do not see what made you suv or think that the scceders from the Alliance were hos tile not to Woman Suffrage, but to Mrs. Duniway. You will pardon me, but the very reverse Is true. They could have had no personal spite at you, for your worst enemy can find no fault with you except that you very fearlessly fight oppression and wickedness. I think you do yourself injustice in ac cepting odium that does not belong to you." Dear friend, you entirely mistook our meaning. They were not opposed to us personally, more than to other Suffragists, but they knew that we could and would talk in meeting, while they believed that other Suffragists would allow themselves to be brow beaten because unaccustomed to public speaking. That's all except poor old Thornton's personal pique at us as successful literary opponent. He's childish and harmless, and only need: a little ioothingsyrup or molasses candy to set him right again. We regard the Alliance victory as thegreatestSuffrage gain yet made in tho State. The un principled character of the opposition came out in such plain contrast to the clear-headed liberalism of the intelli gent majority of the people that our cause unconsciously made itself converts by the hundred during the melee it was nothing else who would not other wise have given it a thought. .Many letters are unavoidably com pelled to wait for answers until we can attend to them privately. The serious illness in our household during the past month has so sadly inconvenienced us that it has been impossible to do everybody immediate justice. Add to this the fact that we are worn out, phys ically aud mentally, and we are sure you will all be ready to forgive u. She Didn't Cauk. A Brighton man quarreled with his wife, and to bring h,er to, ,te,rnis t,lrc?tent, suicide, but Xerved "o desperation1 bv hereon: i chalance, he seized his pistol, and sten- groans, fell fiat upon his back, as if in the last agonies of dissolution.
