MISS AHTHONY'S OASE. Our astute apologists for sexual suf frage are now busily puzzling their brains for palliation of the inhimou Dred Scott decision recently rendered by the I". S. District Court for the State of New York in the case of Susan B, Anthony. Because Judge Hunt holds to the fal lacy that the- right of suffrage is inher ent in nobody, lyjt is, instead, a right conferred by State Laws, and therefore the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amend ments should be subservient to the lesser laws of the States, the same has become the opinion of many Republican editors of to-day, who, until recently, would not admit a sovereignity of States in op position to, or above the sovereignity of the Federal Constitution. How it must gladden the heart of the Portland Bulletin to find repose at Inst under the beneficent States Rights doctrine jf Pomeroy's Democrat! How jubilant would Stephen A. Douglass be to-day, could he but see the practical workings of his doctrine of Non Inter vention thus swallowed whole by the Republican parly! How chargined would E. D. Baker be could ho but see the Constitutional Supremacy, for which he fought and died, given over without n struggle by the political party whose banner he bore, whose existence ho heralded with the full force and in spiration of his mighty genius. Shades of Abraham Lincoln! how are the mighty fallen and the cringing op ponents of man's rights alias States rights- itt last brought low! When will the men who assume to govern the Republic learn wisdom? Justice Taney years ago decided that negroes had no rights which white men were boutid to respect. For a little while the public press applauded and considered the vexed question settled. But the eternal principle of justice was not killed; it was scarcely even scotched. Alarams of Freedom were rung from Oiient loOcidentbythe grand men who dared, and above the suave ncquicsence of the pres and the stolid declaration of obtuse expounders of white man's law, aroso a olaiuor for reversion of that in fanioui decision that never ceased till all blank men weru free. So now Judge Hunt lia- swirl that white or black wom- en Jin ve- no political rights that white or black men are bound to respect; and I Hie press, forgetting the natural result of the infamous decision above cited, echoes from Dan to I'.eersheba its thick skulled approbation a though the fiat were fimtl.

We are glad our brother's eyes are opened. The Republican party bus been napping ever Miice the Presi dential campaign, and consequently has j been "strangely inconsistent and cow-1 nrdly" installing out with a "concession lo wo'iiun suffrage," and then seeming to "atop short of logical results." If the Hepubliean arty is indeed in its dotage, H will ignore this principle and die; but if it is yet the vigorous, progressive body that we believe and hope it is, other Republican journals besides the Hfllrfin will gather courage to not only notice but argue the necessity for its adoption. Of one thing all parties may ivt a-Mired. Woman Suffrage will pievall and the rty tbnt heralds it is to be the party of the next quarter century. Let our brethren profit by this information if they will; if not, we Sre not responsible for t be consequence. THAT "UNPTJEOHASABLE WOMAN." JJ'ud Thompson's " riipurchasable Woman," who for an indefinite length of t ime has been employed i 11 the Mercury office as chambermaid, has announced himself as Democratic candidate for Con gress. We do not know the private claims of this public functionary upon the sutfrages of the jieople, but we do know that as an "Unpurchasable Wom an" he is a decided failure. Let the . ex-Senator remain a chambermaid, by all meaus. The Pennsylvania Constitutional Con vention has adopted an nrticledeclariii" that women who have reached the age of twenty-one years shall lie eligible to ' any office of control or management under the school laws of the State." If it does not give women the right to vote it permits them to be vottd for a priv ilege quite as important, in many in stances. New Hampshire has nearly filled a subscription fund for the erection of a . monument to Hannah Dustin on Dus iiirirslatilli - . - - ' WHAT OUE PBIENBS THIHK. We Ime receded a long letter, in tended for publication, written by our friend and co-worker in Human Rights, the widow of Hon. G. W. Brown, in which she gives us particular "fits" for not believing that Senator Mitchell is the only man in the United States Sen ate whose early record is clouded by woman's wrongs. She firmly believes that all the sensational scandal aliout the Senator Is gospel truth, and that there Is no show for the people of Ore gon to retain a shadow of personal re- spectablllty unless they gouge and tear 1 him. While we are surprised that she or indiscretion that Justified her hus should expect the New NoiiTrnvKST, J band in taxing the best energies of her which rates scandal -mongers with t existence for years to rear his family adulterers and bigamists and abortion ists and murderers, to lend Itself to the same acts "which it so seriously con demns in others, we are pleased, for the , sake of ilrs. Brown's uncontaminated "respectability," to say to the world that she is dreadfully displeased witli us because we do not at once forget the inalienable rights of all other women and spend our energies In the future in elevating "Sadie Hoon." Can't see our duty in that light, dear sister. If wom en's opportunity for success in life were equal to men's, there would be no Sadie Hoons. Then both men and women could be pure and true. A man, who, by his own confession, is sulk-ring the natural consequences entailed upon him by the inequality of the sexes, is now in a position to do more than any other ten thousand men in Oregon to place woman on the plane of independence and above victimiza tion. He will do his duty if women who desire justice in lieu of sympathy will not pouuee upon him like so many vultures to tear him in pieces with in dignation. We deprecate this spirit in woman. It arises from the narrowness of her sphere. We would say to men who err, as our great Exemplar said to the woman, "Go; do your duty, and sin no more." We care not to sloop to refute the as sertion of friend or foe, that we apolo gize for the misdeeds of anybody. Our own life is a daily refutation of the silly charge, and with the personal record of this daily life we are content to rest our case. Providence lias placed Mitchell in a position where it is to his personal in terest to do a duty that man has rare opportunity to do for woman. Wc hold him to the performance of that duty, and by his deeds in this regard the world will judge him. We thank our friend and sister for having written us her views so plainly. We should publish them had not the points been given, though in an angry spirit, wholly unlike hers, in a letter published la.t week. One other Wom , anSulIragist, who has written u, agrees with these two. More than lifty have written in favor of our own views. Our friends can see that the publication of so many letters upon one subject is im possible. We are anxious that the opin ions of all shall be known, but onrspaee is limited, and the dear public, whom we serve, gets tired of too much uion i one theme.

A SPLENDID OFPEB. It is well known that the regular sub scription price to DcmorcC Magazine j is oo. -mat our lrienus may reap tiie j the 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 Noiith wijst and DcuiorcsCs Monthly Maga zine for one year for $4 50; or for $5 50 you can have the Xuw NouTiiwnsT, Dcmorcnr$ Monthly and a splendid pair of cliromos (Fulls of Niagara, and Yo- emite tails), which could not be pur chased at the book store for less than $10. Orders of this kind must be In variably Hccompauied by the cash for both publications at once. The Emperor William of Germany has recently conferred the Cross of Honor upon Mrs. Mary Von Oluhonscu of Lexington as a token of the recogni tion by that government of her services as a nurse in the German hospitals dur ing the war with Fratiee an honor rarely bestowed upon a lady. Mrs. Von Olnhonsen devoted her energies throughout the war of the rebellion to alleviating the suflerlng- of our soldiers in the hospitals, and hundreds of poor fellows, to whom she was all a nurse could be, remember her witli gratitude, and will rejoice witli her friends that her services are appreciated in a foreign land. A new political club is about to be formed in Loudon, which will admit women as well as men. Some fifty la dies and gentlemen have expressed their wish to belong to it, and among them are Professor Fawcett, Dr. Mill, Mr.aud Mrs. Moncure Conway, and the daughter of Karl Blind. It is generally supposed that' the concession of the suffrage to j women will increase the strength of (he conservative parly, but the lady mem bers of this projected club arc under stood to he Republican. Mrs. Woodhull is convalescent and is again at work as hanl as ever, in the purlieus of high places. While there is much Iu the public acts of this woman to condemn, her ability no one can question. An indignation meeting is to be held in New York, in consequence of the ad verse decision of Judge Hunt in tho Susau B. Anthony case. r"'-"t"i " ,,lniiir.i. ii ., :ii:m X-..,.,.- records will by degrees die out, as , .,.. . , - 1 enmnflliv nr avuii vnm nmnnr.n.1 ions pass away. This is our only . . . , . , () women!

The Albany pniers bring the liew.x that Sduitln Luper, an old and influen tial citizen of Linn county, has recently left for parts unknown, taking with him some $19,000 in coin, having mortgaged the farm, sold his wheat and made his will, leaving his children, who are mostly grown, well provided for. The Democrat in noticing the net, says that "domestic troubles are supposed to bo the cause, but no blame can attach to the ehlldren;" thus leaving tho world to imagine that, of course, tho wife, who Is left destitute, Is guilty of some crime and amass hi? fortune, and now, when health Is broken and she needs ease and luxury in her declining days, her husband, in robbing her of the hard earnings ofalifetimcdoeshisduty, while she lias no redress but death. We know Mrs. Luper well. We know lier to be a thorough-going, economical, conscientious, domestic farm house-keeper. We know thathe has drudged at the hardest and most uncongenial labor for years and years, while her liege lord has fancied fine horses, played the gentleman and had a good time generally. We also know that no just cause of imputations against her character can be entertained one moment by the pure in heart. Her step-children, whom the generous father has munificently provided for in the full vigor of lliejr youth, while robbing her for the purpose, have always loved and honored her. Now let us turn the tables for a mo ment. Suppose Mrs. Lujier had ab- - I . ...til. .--. . . scomieii wuii 5rj,uuu. sue nait more moral right to the money than her hus band, because she endured more hard ship and privation to amass it than he. But this fact would have availed her nothing, and not only would tho press have howled but the strong arm of the law would have environed her with the meshes of justice, and she would have stood before the world convicted of de falcation, desertion and robbery. There is no law in existence that will punish Martin Luper. Women of Ore gon, do you not see thatthe great object for which you should work among law makers, is not to personally scourge some man who does or has done these deeds because he can or could, but that your duty, rather, is to urge them with a zeal which cannot be resisted, to give women equal voice with men in making laws, that they may thus protect themselves. Every day brings new proof that men as a class will not protect women as a class. That many men do nobly per form their self-imposed task of protec tion, according to their own theories does not by any means excuse the act9 of the many, many more who fail. Fiat Jnplitia is our motto. ANSWERS TO COEEESPONDENTS. Mrs. Julia H. A.: We do not know the author of the work you mention.

Susan M.: We can furnish you with bridal trosseau complete, such as you describe, for one hundred and fifty dol lars, but we would not advise such an outlay for a young wife whose husband Is to be a merchant's clerk. It would be better to manage with an outfit of twenty-five dollars and expend the re mainder in some paying business. You'll have plenty of use for money af ter you get a husband. .m. ii. i: t writ ot mandamus is a writing from some high court, directed to an inferior court or a corporation, re quriug them lo perform some specified act which relates to their particular office or obligation. Quo warranto is a writ brought before a court, to inquire by what right a person or corporation enjoys or exercises certain powers. The lady in Nebraska who was ejected from office on investigation under such a writ, was found ineligible to the office on account of sex. Hence she is to be ousted as soon as the person with the unobjectionable 'sex learns his duty from her. Ettie: It is perfectly right to ask the gentleman to accompany j-ou. Sensi ble men admire nothing so much in women as naturalness. The world is outgrowing the fallacy that alTeclatlon is ladylike. Wehavesecii a young lady half dying to attend u party or recep tion, yet she would not express the de sire lest some person would surmise that she was angling for a beau! There Is nothing dishonorable in wanting an agreeable escort, and there is nothing wrong in sayingso. Of course, young la dies should not be bold or forward or impudent. Let them be simply frauk and natural, mixing their conversation with spice and common sense, and they will always be sufficiently admired by men of brains.

This didn't excite her much, but when she read that llaming leader entitled "America's Natal Day," Yours Truly becamo too patriotic to stay at home.

"May'nt go, mother?" demurely asked Yours Truly. "I can't spare tho money, child," was mother's answer. Phil is a year younger than Yours Truly, and you ought to see him turn his nose up if anybody calls him "child." "But Dick has money and so has Phil, mother." "They're boys, you know," was her reply. "I can't help that, God knows," was Hie indignant rejoinder of Yours Truly, as hurrying up stairs she dolled her calico and donned her muslin, gave her hair an extra mus, set her hat atop of the frizzes, and hurried down again. "I thought it was decided that 3-011 were not to go," said mother, a little vexed. "You were mistaken then, io;i ami," was the dutiful retort, "and now I want some money." Mother hadn't a dollar. Father had given the boys a little spending money and gone off to Port land as one of the officers of the celebra tion there, leaving mother and daugh ter to cool their patriotism over the cooking stove. "I'll lend you a dollar," said Dick. He always was hetter iiaturcd than Phil.

Dr. Watts, the orator of the day, gave i us a statesmanlike oration, of the old- fashioned kind, occupying one hour and forty minutes, during which I only need to say there was no moving from oneseat to another, or any other manifestation of impatience or weariness. We also had elegant singing and other music and a splendid dinner, of which everybody was invited to partake. The afternoon exercises consisted .of temperance speeches that were in tensely interesting. One old man, who has long been known as a drunkard, made an impassioned address, at the close of which he pledged himself, be fore his hearers, and in the presence of Almighty God, to abstain hereafter en tirely from everything that intoxicates. The scene was vividly affecting, and one that will long be remembered by the large assembly.

Shall it not be thus? Shall not all this be wrought out by you here? Shall you pass in vain through the fiery furnace? Shall the gold not be extracted from tho dross? "Surelv there is a vein for tlie silver, and a place for gold where they find it." Oh, begin life anew! The blessed dreams with which you began before, have been disappointed. This world has not proved what you expected. Nevertheless, those vague, beautiful prophecies of life's morning may all be answered; but not here! wake, put on thy strength!" prepare 1 ior a nie mat sun awaits you: a ititure gild It with a blissful glory, 'then let not the hours go by idly! Work for tills end. Lay up your treasures for it. Help others to gain it. Tread the paths of earth with this ever in view; and, with Miss Bremer, you will exclaim, "Despair is forever past!" not anguish, but despair. Consider what a moment comparatively our mortal life occupies, and how vast is the future we are pre paring for. We shall very soon be boru into the world which is to be our perma nent home. This material body is cre ated to perish after it Iia3 served us awhile in our transient sojourn here; but not so the spiritual body we are either beautifying or deforming within it. I am sure you have usually more faith in the sterner sex than one would infer from the last clause of your com munication. But I must confess that I have often thought men and women did not go in pairs, as far as goodness is concerned. It seems to me that there are rather more good women in the world than men, although, this niom iug, I counted three gentlemen of my acquaintance who were better than their wives; that was all I could muster; a dozen couples equally balanced, and about forty dear friends, wives, who are better than their partners. It was quite a relief to my niiud to read in a list of statistics that, all over the world, more male infants have died than female, which goes to show that some of the good women, who are unprovided for, may find fitting companions in these iniatils, grown to maiihood in Heaven That remark may excite a smile in these" j days, bllt It Will not SOUIld near SO odd a 1 hundred years hence.

I Books and Papeiis. Alter'thc'plod ding routine required for material ne cessities has been gone through with for the day, and the tired body requires and enjoys rest, the minds of many women reach out hungering and thirsting after intellectual food. Not having that craving satisfied is what causes unhap piness for many whose lives seem dark and barren. Let them learn at once the uotent power which will lift them like magic above the ills of life, and lighten up the whole uuiverso under their eyes by reaching out and taking hold of the thousands of good cheerful books which may be had. Let them read or put into the hands of child, husband or friend, some one of the many high-toned news papers to he hail, with request to reart aloud. A fewirood jokes, or a few noble sentiments will soon dispel the morbid little blue devils so stealthy and insidi ous in their encroachments upon our health and happiness. OUR AGENTS.
