The war in Europe which is now
impending with but too much cer

history, the principal incidents of

weeks. On July 1, uneasiness is

slate of Europe menacing, and that
France should be prepared. On
July 5, in the Corps Legislating
several members submitted inter
pellations concerning the proposed
candidature of Ilohenzoliern for
the Spanish throne. On the same
date, it is announced from Madrid
that the IVmce has accepted the
Spanish throne. On fhe Gth, the
Duke Grammont said it was true
that Gen. Prim had ollered the
throne to Ilohenzoliern, and that
under no pretext would France
nei-mit anv German power to

throne of Charles V. On the
same date, M. Olliver said in the
Corns Legislatiif that France
would not engage in war without
consulting the Chambers. On that.
date also, the Paris jiress, the Pays
da particular, came out in tavor o
war. At Paris, on the 7th, rumors
are prevalent that Prim had aban
doned the Prince Ilohenzoliern.
On the same date a note is received
in Paris, the substance cf which
is that th Prince is not a member
of the royal family of Prussia;
oth, no answer has been received
from Prussia, except an unofficial
telegram that the King knew noth

throne of (Spain. Same date, mili

Washington, July 14.
Republicans from the South at
present in Washington, take the
gloomy view of the situation at

for instance, informs his friends in
the Senate that Louisiana will give
5,000 Democratic majority next
November, and 25,000 at the next
Presidential election.

Now if Alcorn had been at heart

But he never shed a tear, on the

South Carolina mav be set down

conservative a course as to lead
many persons to suspect that he

ORJEGOX CITY,
John Chinaman and
Wages.
Woman's
We have been requested to pub
lish the the following article, from
the Boston Journal, a woman's
rights organ. While we acknow 1
edge that the China population are
a great curse to all laboring class
es, we deny that giving the right
of suffrage to women will help the
matter any. Let the women edu
cate and instruct their offsprings in
such a M ay as" to inculcate ideas
and principles into their minds
that are correct, and the true and
valuable women of our country
will have a representative in their
behalf in their sons and husbands.
We give place to the article, but
at the same time enter our solemn
protest against woman's suffrage.
We believe man was made to do
the voting and protecting women,
the same as he is to chop wood,
build houses, make roads, or any
of the harder and more burden
some labors. Woman is too fair
and intended by her Creator for a
nobler and better object than to
dabble in the dirty mire of poli
tics. This article, however, shows
that even the Women of the Fast
are deprived of an opportunity to
make their Hying, while thousands
on this coast are in a similar condi
tion :
The injustice of woman's dis
franchisement is forcibly illustrated
in the Chinese question as it now
presents itself. "An ounce of ex
ample is worth a pound of pre
cept." Take the following in
stance. Among the avenues recently
opened to woman's labor, one of
considerable importance is found
in steam laundries. A number ot
these establishments are already in
successful operation in and near
2ew lork. Mr. C. Browning, the
enterprising proprietor of "Doty's
Washing-machine and the "Uni
versal Clothes-wringer," who has
done so much, by ike successful
introduction of these invaluable
house-hold machines, to relieve the
women of America from domestic.
drudgery, has recently erected
one of these laundries in Orange,
New Jeisey. In this large estab
lishment he employs some two
hundred women. These women
work altogether by the piece.
With the aid of powerful steam
machinery, shirts are starched ana
ironed at eight cents apiece. At
these prices, the women earn from
a dollar and a halt to three dollars
per day, according to their strength
and skill.
A few days ago, we called, in
company with Mr. Browning, upon
one of his heaviest customers, Mr.
C, an extensive manufacturer of
shirts. In the course of conversa
tion, the difficulty of getting faith
ful and industrious working-women
being considered, Mr. C. urged
Mr. Browning to import Chinamen
to take the place of women in his
laundry. Chinamen can be hired
at seventy-five cents per day in
gold, by the year. They are
steady, strong, docile, patient, in
dustrious and persevering. With
a little practice, they will do more
work for seventy-five cents than
ths women now do for three times
that sum.
Mr. Browning admitted the facts,
acknowledged the greater conven
ience and larger profit, but to his
honor be it spoken expressed his
unwillingness to supplant the labor
of women by importing men to till
their places.
Yet how few keen, shrewd busi
ness men would share this chival
rous feeling. How long will it be
ere working-women will find their
scanty wages still further reduced
by the competition of these labori
ous Asiatic human machines?
And yet, while working-
have the matter under their own
control, and can influence legisla
tion in their own favor by then
votes as they may deem wise ami
expedient, tens of thousands of
working-women are prohibited by
law from expressing an authorita
tive opinion in regard to the mat
ter of vital interest to themselves.
The very bread may be taken from
their mouths by the importation
and substitution of servile laborers.
And these servile laborers are le
gally constituted their political su
periors, and are authorized to make
laws, public opinion anil social
usages, to which these difranchis
ed American women must helpless
ly conform.
Without expressing aDy opinion
OREGON, SATURDAY, AUGUST SO, 1870.
as to the wisdom of admitting or
excluding these Chinese competi
tors, fwe" demand the ballot for
these working-women as their nat
ural rigid. It is for them to say
whether this immigration shall be
permitted or prohibited. No other
class of citizens have an exclusive
right to settle a question in which
these women have so vital an in
terest. WThat would any class of working-men
say if they were thus ex
cluded ? What would the Crispins
say if they were disfranchised
when the rights of the laborer are
in question, because, they are Cris
2ins? Or the lawyers, if they
were disfranchised when laws are
to be enacted, because they are
lawyers? Or the liquor sellers, if
they were prohibited from voting
on the question of licenses, because
they are liquor-sellers? What a
cry of injustice would be raised,
and what sympathy would be
awakened !
Shame on our code of political
ethics! It is respectable to be a
Crispin, or a lawyer, or a liquor
seller. It is a crime to be a ico
man. II. B. B.
The Fall Election.
The fall elections this year are to
decide not only the character of
the next House of Representatives,
but also, to a cer'am extent, that
of the Senate. Twenty Senators
will be elected by the next State
Legislatures. 1 he Senators whose
t-.M-ms expire on the 4th of March
next are Morrill, of Maine; Cragi.i,
of New Hampshire; W ilson, o.'
Massachusetts; Anthony, of Rhode
Isla.nl; Cattell, of New Jersey;
Willey, of West Virginia; John
son, of Virginia; Abbott, of North
Carolina; Robertson, of South
Carolina; Fowler, of Tennessee;
Grimes, of Iowa; Howard, ot
Michigan; Thaye", of Nebraska;
Boss, of Kansas; Yates, of Illinois;
McDonald, of Arkansas; Revels,
of Mississippi : WTi'iains, of Ore
gon; Harris, Louisiana; Warner,
of Alabama; San'sba.y, of Dela
ware; McCreery, of Kentucky;
and Norton, of Minne.- oia. The
outgoing Senator are all Republi
cans, except S.ti'lebiiry, McCreery
and Norton. The seat of Mr. Fow
ler has already been fi lied by a
Democrat, and that of Mr. Grimes
by a Republican. The Democrats
will pvob;;oly lose one Senator in
Minnesota, and gain in New
Jersey, Oregon, ai'd perhaps one
or two Southern State. Li many
ml
of the States the contest will be
spirited, for personal as well as
political reasons.
Successful Men.
All men who have succeeded in
life have been of high resolves and
endurance. The famed William
Pitt was in early life fond of gam
ming. The passion increased with
years, and he knew he must at
once master the passion or the pas
sion would master him. He was
one night persuaded to keep the
faro bank. He made a firm re
solve that he would never again
play a game of hazard. For him
to make a resolution was to keep
it. His subsequent eminence was
the fruit of that power. William
Wilberforce in his earlier days,
bke most young men of his rank
and age, loved the excitement of
the places of hazard. He was one
night persuaded to keep the faro
bank. He saw the ruin of the
vice of gaming as 'he never saw it
before; he was appalled at. what he
beheld. Sitting and gaming, ruin
and despair, he took the resolution
that he would never again enter a
gaming house. He changed his
company with his change of con
duct, and subsequently became one !
of the most distinguished English- I
men of his age.
Dr. Samuel Johnson was once
requested to drink a little wine
with a friend. The doctor propos
ed tea. "But drink a little wine,"
said the host. I know abstinence,
I know excess; but I know no me
dium. Long since I resolved, as I
could not drink a little wine, I
could not drink at all. A man
who could thus support his reso
lution, was a man of endurance,
and that element is well displayed
in this incident, as in the combina
tion of his great work.
When Richard Brinslay Sheri
dan made his first speech in Par
liament, it was regarded on all
hands as a mortifying failure. His
friends urged him to abandon a
field not suited to his ability.
"No!"- exclaimed Sheridan, " no ;
it is in me and it shall come out !"
And it did, and he became one
of the most splendid debaters in
England.
Perhaps no other nation in Eu-
rope, at the time, could have won
the battle of Waterloo, except the
British, because no other could
have brought to that conflict that
amount of endurance necessary to
win. For many hours that army
stood manfully before the murder
ous fire of the French; column af
ter column fell while not a gun
was discharged on their part. One
sullen word ran along the line, as
CD '
thousands fell. File up! file up!
Not yet! not yet! was the Iron
Duke's reply to the earnest re
quests made to charge and fight
the foe. At length the time of ac
tion came. The charge was given,
and victory crowned the standard
of England.
Men of Genius without endur
ance, cannot succeed. Men who
start in one kind of business may
find it impossible to continue there
in all their days. Ill health may
demand a change. New and wid
er fields of enterprise and success
may be open to them, new ele
ments of character may be devel
oped. Men have rare talents, but
if they are everything by turns
and nothing long, they must not
expect to prosper. No form of
business is without its vexations;
each man knows the spot on which
his own harness chafes, but he can
not know how much his neighbors
suffer.
A Horrible Crime and Swift Ven
geance. Ycsterday morning a negro
named John Sears committed a
most bj-utal outrage upon the per
son of Miss George, near this place,
ami now (10:'50 a. m.) his body is
suspended by a rope to one of the
trees in the Court House yard.
This is an awful crime, and a
speedy and a just retribution.
Miss George was picking berries
in a bush, when Sears crept
stealthily up behind, and, seizing
her by the throat, strangled her
until she could not stand or sec.
Then drawing a knife, he admon
ished her to keep still or he would
cut her throat. He told her lie
had been watching for this oppor
tunity; had seen her a few days
before, but could not get hold of
her, because of the close proximity
of others. He very modestly
informed her "when begot through
with her she could go where she j
pleased, and he would go to
Kansas." He tied a handkerchief
over her eyes, threw her down,
violated her person, and then lied.
The lady sought her friends, told
her sad and disgusting tale, and in
one hour perhaps 100 men were in
pursuit of Sears. He was arrested
four miles northwest of town, and
brought in last evening at six
o'clock, taken before a Justice,
and remanded by him to jail.
Miss George identified Sears,select
ing him from among a number of
negroes, saying, "This is the man."
It was with the greatest difficulty
the crowd were restrained from
hanging him on the spot. Sheriff
Dodson deserves much credit for
his efficient measures in the matter.
He got Sears back into the jail,
placing a guard around it to pro
tect him. This morning he was
brought into Court for an exami
nation. The prosecuting witness
was asked but lew questions. Her
feelings were spared in a measure.
She was not compelled to recount
the disgusting details. The court
was interrupted by the friends of
Miss George and citizens. An old,
gray-headed man (probably her
father), asked -Miss George: "Are
you positive this is the man?" She
answered, "I am positive." Sears
was then dragged from the Court
House and hung to an adjacent
tree. There is much confusion
ami excitement, and I doubt
whether Sheriff Dodson, with six
months' notice, could have gather
ed a sutrkient force in Henry
county to have prevented the
lynching of this fiend in human
shape. I am opposed to mob law,
generally, but in this case our
criminal law is not adequate to the
case.

Queex Victoria is said to be a
very decided apponent of woman
suffrage. So strongly does she
feel upon this subject that she
recently testified most emphati
cally her commendation of a
pamphlet written by a literary
lady of London, denouncing the
woman . suffrage movement, and
the women engaged in it. Victoria
ordered a highly complimentary
letter, to be sent to the authoress
together with a considerable sum
of money, to be used for the more
general circulation of the pamphlet.
The Mitraillenr.
French dispatches assert that the
town of Saarbrucken was captured
mainly through the aid of the new
slaughter machine called the mi
trailleur. This terrific engine of
war is a sort of artillery revolver.
It consists ot some thirty or forty
barrels, fastened together, and
loaded by machinery in the rear.
The barrels may be fired singly, or
in such quick succession that the
discharge is almost simultaneous.
It is easy to comprehend that such
an arm, if properly aimed and
managed, would produce a destruc
tion of life unparalleled in the an
nals of war; and a battery con
sisting of several such machines
would render the storming of the
position so defended practically
impossible. There is a deep in
terest attaching to the battle of
Saarbrucken, as viewed bv this
new light, and it is not too much
to predict that the introduction of
the mitrailleui may virtually de
cide the campaign. The world
has been discussing the physical
qualities, and the mental attributes,
of Celt and Teuton, and deducing
conclusions from physiological
facts, as regards the probable issue
of the war; but there is reason to
believe that the bravery and en
durance of the troops may have
nothing to do with the result. We
have, in this Saarbrucken affair, a
feature entirely new. The Prus
sians advance bravely to storm the
French position a battery of mi
traiileurs opens upon them, dis
charging probably four or five
hundred balls a minute, and cen
tralizing its fire with an incredible
precision. The discharge sweeps
through the Prussian lines, mowing
down the men like grass, and in
five minutes half the advancing
force is dead or disabled. Again
the troops pour forth from their in
trenchments, and again the mur
derous battery ploughs the ranks.
No troops can withstand such en
gines, and -the result is that the
Prussians are defeated. Now, if
these initrailleurs are capable of
producing such eifects as described,
the question arises whether it will
be possible for the Prussians to
stand the brunt of a great battle,
against such odds. A few baittries
of this new arm, judiciously dis
posed, would render a close attack
absolutely impossible, and an ad
vance could onl' be made by sac
rificing battalion after battalion,
with a recklessness ami waste of
human life never paralleled. Some
time ago a dispatch was received
here to the effect that King Wil
liam has offered a reward of five
hundred dollars for the capture of
every mitraillenr. This shows the
importance attached by the Prus
sian government to the irew weap
en, and their thorough appreciation
of its deadly capacity. Unless
they either neutralize its effects, or
bring into play an engine, as de
structive, the war may be decided
much more speedily than has been
anticipated heretofore. liecord.
The Hystery of a B rder Horror
Revealed.
For some time notices have been
circulated through the different
frontier posts to the effect that a
Mrs. Dorathy Field had been ab
ducted by the Indians from Mer
nard County on the San Saba Riv
er, four miles below McKavett,
State of Texa, and offering a re
ward of 8750 in gold for her safe
return to any point in the United
States. In addition to this, the
commanding officers of the differ
ent posts were communicated with,
and every effort made to gain
some information of the missing
lady. The following statement
has been made before the writer
by the Cheyenne Chief "Little
Robe," and as circumstances go 'to
prove the truth of other matters
which he tells, there is no reason
to doubt that part of his story re
lating to Mrs. Field. Little Robe
with other Arrapahoe and Chey
enne Chiefs, was invited by the
Kioway and Camanche Indians to
attend a "medicine dance," and
council, held by the latter nt n
point forty miles south of the An
telope mils, in this Territory, and
he affirms that the Kioways held
out every inducement to their
Cheyenne brothers to accnm,,,
them on the war-path against the
whites.
These overtures Little Robe says
that he and some other old men of
his tribe steadfastly declined, say
ing that they had war long enough
with the whites, whom they found
too numerous to cope with, and
that as long as they were treated
justly they desired to remain at
peace: that he advised his young;
men not to involve themselves in
NO. .13..
another war, which would inevita
bly end as did0the campaign of
1SG8-G9.
TheKioway, finding they couldo
not effect a general alliance, boast
ed they would commit such depre
dations as would involve the Chey
ennes in spite of themselves; then
desired Little Robe to tell the
whites that it was they who car
ried off 3Irs. Field, and they
wished we should know it. ,
He says they describe her tin
having beautiful long hair: that
?he was on horseback, and, when
surrounded by the Ivioways, kept
discharging a rev olver, with which
for a considerable time she kept
her assailants off until at length
she fell, having her leg broken by
a bullet. Iii this condition they
captured her, carried her to a con
siderable distance to where there
was some timber, tied her to qi
tree, scalped her alive, and left her
to die of starvation and her
wounds. Their inhuman instincts q
told them that this would be great
er torture than they coitld invent.

Gen. Jackson's Endorsement.
Some twenty-five years ago, a
merchant in Tennessee became
involved and wanted money; lie
had property, and oftd debts.
His property, however, coujd. not
be made available just then and.
off he posted to Boston, backed by
the names of several of the most
solid men of Tennessee. Money!)
was then everywhere "tight," and.
Boston capitalists Rooked closely
at tne names
"Very good," said they, "but

"Yes ; but he is not worth one- o
tenth as much as either of these
men whose names I offer you."
"No matter; General Jackson
has always protected himself and:
his paper, and we'll let you have
the money on .the strength of his
name."
In a few days the papers with
his signature arrived. The mo

Could Not See It. The
worthy gentleman who rules the
rising generation of boys in a cer
tain town in Tenneftee, had occas
ion recently to correct a little fel
low named Johnny. Now, Johnny
got in.o a lit of.what is called
"sulks," because he was whipped ;
and in order to convince him that
he was justly and necessarily pun
ished, his teacher had recourse to'
the following argument ;
"Well, Johnny, suppose you
were riding a big horse to water,
and had a keen switch in vour
hand, and all at once the horse
were to stop and refuse to go any
iarthei, what would you do ;g'
Johnny stifled his sobs for a mo
ment, and looking up through his
tears, replied :
. "I'd cluck to him, sir."
"But, Johnny, suppose he
