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 :

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.

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

Thev fired a second time without ef
fect. "Are you satisfied, sir?" risked the
Sl-COIltl.
"Xn!" thundered Swartwout.
The men tired a third ime without
etb-et. when the same gentleman again
politely asked Mr. Swartwout if he was
sal isfied.
1 am not." was the reply; ' neither
shall 1 be until that apology is made
which I demanded. L'ntil then we
nitist proceed.'.
Swart wont's si-cond theu presented
a paper containing Ihe apology de
majuietl. tor Oliuton's siguntnre, say
ing. "We cannot spend our time in
conversation. This paper must he
signed, or proceed."
" I will not -sign any paper on Ihe
subject," said Clinton, with firmness
and dignity. ''I have no animosity
against Mr. Swartwout. 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. My determination is fixed,
and I beg wc may proceci K "
While the surgeon was extracting
the lall from the opposite side of
Swart wont's leg, Clinton again de
clared that lie had no animosity against
Swartwout ; that lie was sorry for
what had ;iassed, and was willing to
go forward. isake hands and bury the
circumstance iu oblivion. 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.
Such was Clinton nt thirty-three,
w lien he had already been a member
of" the Legislature, and was alxuit to
titer the Senate of Ihe United States,
lie was brave to rashness, .-unl ambi
tious beyond measure ; buL he lived up
to the standard of his day. and ac nit
ted himself of every trust with honor
and distinction.

they are not they coalesce according

Ki. Statesman : I have notjeed
with concern' the introduction of a

on the part of the State for the sum ot

Now. as a humble ci:iaii ot the

State of Oregon, as a member of the
Republican party. I respectfully pro
test against the passage of the bill.
Regarding the general good ami tin-
good of the party as of greater import

I protest. Asa financial transaction I
regard it as a great waste of the peo

amounts to 20 per cent, interest upon
the capital invested, iu addition to the
exe!n-ivc u-e of the water taken
from' the canal for motive power to
propel mills and machinery. This is
certainly an exorbitant price topiy.
The producers of this valley want
cheap transportation ; the only way to
obtain this is by competition. The
