r 1 v .r; ffiec&q Oregon faf esnt&tt'. HALEM. TUESDAY1, OCTOBER 8, . HIE KIUHT OF W OMEX. i The .House, on. riday, disposed of a couple .of ,hills looking lo female en fmrrchlsenretvb, in very cavalier sort of jstyle. One of thcin had received tlie '-ecommendation of a committee ; and a minority of the same committee liad recommended the passage ot the bill, with an amendment striking out the material portion of it, but allow ing women to vote in all matters rela ting to the liquor traffic. The bill was, however, alter some trifling dis fu&ton, infleflintely postponed. We should liave been better pleased, if the House had allowed the bill to go Hhrdugh 'Us Tegular course, and take chance on a square vote, yea or nay. The "people of Oregon may not be yet prepared for the adoption ot Woman Suffrage, though we think the legislature may possibly do( many 'things worse than to give women the ballot. The time will soon arrive, (it ought to have arrived already) when the law of our Stat will recognize women as something more than non entities : when it will be acknowl edged that they have some right? which men will be bound to respect There are many rights connected with properly which in justice they should have, and exercise as freely and fully as men. It is not our purpose, howev er, to enumerate them here. In our opinion the members of the Ilou.se have committed a grave error not only in point of justice but of policy, in re fusing to accept at least Mr. Pattou's proposition to give women tlie right to vote on all matters connected with tlie legalizing of tlie liquor truffle. That is a matter in which they rfre directly and materially interested. It is a question fur less abstract than the gen eral question of female suffrage. The liquor traffic a Beds society, the greater sliare ot Its evils falling upon women and children. Tlie right to vote on it should be woman's weapon of defence, inasmuch, as society gives her none We are not at all a sentimentalist on on this or any other question ; we simply ask for justice tor women. ABOUT tiOVEKXnEXT LOASS. The Xew York Tribune of the 15th ult., In replying to tlie declaration of Judge Settle that this is the only Ad ministration that ever was able to bor row money at less than six. per cent., admits that "a small portion" of what the Government needed has been se cured at, live yer cent., but says : 'W are to-day paying six per cent, on all the rest of the debt, siniply because the Administration cannot borrow at less." - The "small portion" admitted bv tlie Tribune is no less than $200,000," 000, the conversion of which from six ' percent, bonds to five per cents, ef fects a saving in our interest payments of $2,000,000 a year. Of course such a trifling amount seems to the Tribune to be unworthy the slightest attention, though it would probably denounce an increased expenditure of an equal sum as an evidence of ruinous extrava gance. But by what authority does the Tri bune assert that 4,we are paying to day six per cent, interest on all the rest of the debt, simply because the Administration cannot borrow at less?'' ; In tlie first place it is not true that we are paying six per cent, on the rest of the debt. The total debt on the 1st ot August was $2,247,099, 029 23, of which only $1,371,030,800 bore Interest at six per cent. The fol lowing statement shows the several rates of interest payable on the debt, witli the amount at each rate and the amount bearing no interest : At S jwr i-enu coin Al 5 pereeut. colli At 4 percent, lawlul At 3 per cent, lawful On which interest lias eeajwl No Interest .$1..171.9Srt.S00 00 . 414,.V.7,SHI ill 678.01)0 00 23.4rt0,0UO 00 tvi!r,!H0 i 4i9,7'.l,18 7 To!al d'rbt August 1, 72 2,247,0!,929 23 The aggregate interest at these rates Is $103,773,093 a year, which gives an average of a little less than 4j :er cent, per annum on the entire debt. So much for tlie statement that "the rest of the debt," t. r... all except the $200,000,000 re-funded at 5 percent., bears 0 per cent. Interest. It is a mat ter of surprise tliat any journal setting the slightest value on its reputation for aecunicjyshould commit itself to a statement so palpably at variance with facts that arc so well known to the en tire public. The statement that the Adminis tration cannot now borrow at less " than tidier cent. Is equally unwarrant ed. It is true that tlie negotiation of the new loan with the proceeds of which the present G per cent, bonds were to be taken np, was temporarily interrupted, owing to our difficulties with Great Britain ; but these are now substantially settled, and the end of the arbitration at Geneva has removed the last vestige of tlie distrust to which the Alabama trouble gave rise. The circumstances are now as favorable as could be wished for throwing our new bonds again into the market ; and with the bright prospect of prolonged peace and increasing material pros perity which is now before us, we have tlie best reasons for believing tliat the loan will be raoidly taken. IUSORAKT OS MALEVOIaiT. The Sacrameuto Union, iu a tirade against Mr.' Mitchell, while our Sena torial election was pending, called that gentleman the "Railroad Subsidy Can didate," and argued that the proposi tion to elect him was part of a sclieme to overwhelm our State and its several counties with a load of debts for the benefit ot railroad monopolists. Tlie Union is ignorant or malevolent. There U no proposition for a subsidy ' for railroads before the Legislature, whereby any indebtedness will be cre ated. No such proposition would be entertained, If it were proposed. Mr. Mitchell's electiou has no more con nection with railroad subsidies than with the precession of the equinoxes. - -' 1 .- The Republican party of Massachu setts gives practical proof that it sus tains the 14th resolution of the Nation a Republican platform. Its platform contains this declaration; "The Re publican party of Massachusetts, as the representative of liberty" and pro gress, is . In favor of extending suf frage on equal terms to all American citizens irrespective ot sex, and will hail the day when the educated intel lect and ' enlightened, conscience of woman will find direet expression at tlie ballot-box." The New York Tribune is support ing Kernan for Governor of Xew jork, partly, aa we find by reading the Tri bune, Jbecause lie ."has always been a' ' consistent member of the Democratic partf.?Z&& rifyfm, 1" -torn,.' sup. ports Horace Greeley wholly becaose lie lias been n very 'eonsistent mem ber nf tbHe;.nMiY:':i p:rttyv" f to be a l.tct," says Pas- , . f.t f rid f-n. jititw what t'.k'i: h ve would in the world." t.. y s noi b- ! o?' tvi.-tf .iv irL-nds THE IAM'K AD A.AL Ql tSIIOX. The bill pending in tin Hon so to pro vide for the lease and eventual pur chase by the Suite of the canal and locks at Oregon City, provide: as amended for the rental of tlie works at $40,000 per year, for a term or five years. The original sum asked was $50,000, and the term of lease was ten years. In all other material respects, the bill is the same now as when intro duced. In the discussion ot this bill, we do do not care to use the epithets and to allege the charges in which some of our contemporaries have indulged; but rather to inquire what will be bet fir the Legislature to do in the premise?. We hold, with almostevery intelligent business man, that the iState ought to have the control of the works; but we think it susceptible of easy proof that the lease of the locks is not the proper way to obtain control. The State ought, on some fair term, to piirehase the works. If the propo-ition were to purchase at the proper value, and on such terms as to payments as would not lie too burdensome to the tax-payers, we should certainly ami most decided ly commend it. There are some :ir guinents indeed in favor of leasing tite work; but after a direful Inquiry into the facts connected wlt'i the commeic of the country, and the ability ot the people to bear such an Increased bur den as would be entailed, the prepon derance of the argument Is unquestion able against the proposition, as it now sta tids. We have taken some pains to ascer tain how the account would stand as between the company and the people, in case of the passage of the bill. We find that the transportation on the Wil lunette river, the year before the East side railroad reached-Salem, frhe larg est year's work ever (tone amounted to nu aggregate of 41,334 tons. .The year after the railroad reached Salem, the tonasro on the river fell ofl to some thing like 34,000 tons. As the railroad has progressed, the transportation of freight on the river has (alien otf stead ily. The last year, ending Aug. 31t the aggregate freight carried past the falls at Oregon City was less than 22,- 000 tons in round numbers. At the rate which the bill proposes to charge for freight passing through the locks the last year's transportation would yield to the State a revenue of $11,000 The passenger tolls could not by any stretch of supposition amount to more than $1,000. The receipts from tolls would thus amount to $12,000. The balance of the $40,000 must manifestly be paid from the treasury. Twenty eight thousand dollars a year, then, is the sum to be raised from the people of the whole State by taxation. The next year's freight will be prob ably less than last year. Over one third of the last, year's freight came from the Yamhill river. If we judge of the falling off from that source, by the facts connected with the business of the upiHT Willamette, as the railroad progressed, we must conclude that even the greater part of the Yamhill trade will, the present year, be lost to the Willamette river. The Yamhill river is already tapped by the West Side Railroad. What has taken place on the East side will surelytake place on the West side the' hulk of the freight will go by railroad. We can not calculate on even 22.000 tons of freight by the river, the current year, A very material point to lie consid ered in this matter is the fact that the navigable river traverses only a small portion of the length ot the State ; and only a very small portion of the peo ple of the State em, by any possibility, be benefitted by any easement con nected with the navigation of the riv er; yet the tax will fall npon all. He sides this, the river is not navigable above the mouth of the YamhiiL but little more than halt the. year. If the control of it by tlie State would cheap en transportation, it would cheapen it but little more than half the time, leaving the valley as much as now at the mercy of the railroads, the balance of the year. As a channel of com merce it is not so important as to war rant the assumption of a great burthen ot taxation. 1 luring the greater part of the past year, boats have not run above Salem, without actual loss, be cause there was not freight for them to curry. The railroad took nearly all the freight from tiic upper part of the valley. It will continue to take it.1 The river with a railroad on each side, will tie a highway of transportation for only half the year, for a distance of only fifty or sixty miles, and only for a small portion of the country lying on cither side of that fifty or sixty miles. The bulk of the freight for Marion, Yamhill, Linn. Lane and Jienton, (even as facilities are now or will be after the Locks shall be completed) will always go by rail. We know this by the la-t two or three years experi ence, and by tlie uniform experience of railroad and river traffic side by side In the Eastern States. It has been urged that it is wisdom to provide for the future ; that the State is to grow much iu population, resources and business in the next five years. We hope and believe so; but while we provide for the future, let us also take care ot the present. The bill iu question will call for the sum of $200,000 for rent, to which must be added, say $30,000 for repairs to the works, making the gross sum $230, , (tool Of this. i40.000 will go into the school fund, it is true : but the whole sum will have to be raised from trans poatation tolfs and direct taxes upon the people. Whatever is not received from tolls must come by taxation. We estimate that for the next year the tolls would not amount to more than iflO.OOO, because of the large loss from the river transportation derived from Yamhill, to the railroad. If any in crease Is to come in the after years, it must come clearly from an enlarged population and an enlarged production. nat is tlie prospect in tliat re spect for the next five years ? The tolls for the following four years must increase to $17,500 per yearto&ring the State out even in the rent account, alone, and to f 53.500 per year, if the cost of repairs be added. Can we ex pect such an Increase of business in five years (taking account of the in- , creased business or the railroad, also) ' us will jump the : receipts up from $10,000 to an average ot $.J,500 per year? We think the man very wild who depends on that sort .f estimate for the next five years. If the requi site population were to be landed here to-day, they could scarcely develop the resources of the whole State to such proportions in five years. The Large, r fine talk we have heard about the de velopment or the resources of tlie coun try and the multiplication ot industries, , to follow this measure, is all idee . enough as a bubble-blowing entertain ment; but it won't do for practical business men to rely upon. . The taxa tion rto re-nlt. wil!"be a linrd fact tlie devehijiiiK iu of ivsouicis, etc.. is only :s a very pretty dream. Iwa.h.j; is morx certain, under the most hopeful view that can be taken of j the financial result of the scheme, than that large part of the rental for the first three or four year-, must be paid by taxation. At the present time, when the people arc so illy able to bear the bunion? or the State, it would be unwise to increase the alrerwly heavy load or taxation, upon the tiere dream of what there may be in tlie future. This Legislature has got to provide for tlie payment ot $175,000 debt imposed by tlie last Legislature ; tlx- ordinary expenses of the State government will lie not loss than 250.000 ; .:; 51 f he various appropriation now a-knl f-r ; are granted, thev will swell tfu? .-irtire f gnteexpvuses of the next t wo vein's to nearly $700. 000. leaving t!rf lock and ! canal appropriation otitofll reckon ing. Are the people able to sjnml :ill this ?

Tiierr Is a : Very broad impression, we SttaLyrw'; 1 the people, that this scheme is sU,- iiii ; to the kite of 1S70.

While it might lv rr-1 questionably gooil policy to go in debt for certain measures ot grent public henelit, yet the LegWatare ! would do well to be ctiution-s abont piling up indebtedness for merely bva.1 ! and personal schemes.

I will wil lingly shake hands, and agree to meet on the -core of former friendship." The fourth lire theu took place, when Clinton's ball struck his obsti nate antagonist iu the lett leg, below the knee. " Are you satisfied, sir?' the wound ed man was again asked. 'Standing firmly at his post, lie an swered. It is useless to repeat the question.

Swartwout, however, standing erect at his place, insisted upon tlie written apology. A fifth lime they Ilred. and Clinton's ball struck his antagonist in the same leg, a little below the former wound. "Are you satisfied, sir?" asked the second. I am not, sir," replied Swartwout ; "proceed." Clinton then left his station, threw down his pistol, and declared that he would tight no more. Whereupon Swartwout turning fo j his second, asked what he should do, j to which the second replied : "There is nothing further left for' you now but to have your wounds dressed." So the combat ended, and the two parties returned iu their barges to the city.
