The brldo-eleet, uu unusu ally gentle woman, as we learn from tho Woman1 Journal, saw no way to asuunea legal marriage and also to keep her self-respect, except by pub licly expressing nor total, disapproval nnd rejection of the inequality which tlio common law Imposes upon a wife. Tho bridegroom agreed with her, and nnd accordingly pledged himself that Ills wife was to retain her own name. As for tho husband I wing tho head of tho wife, such antiquated iogyism might do for St. Paul, who was a bachelor and never enjoyed tho Inestimable privi lege of listening to Victoria C.Wood, hull.

The expense of maintaining tbe Stoto Penitentlarj' has heretofore been n great bur den on the people of Oregon. Tbe last LorIs lalurd tried to- inaks some provision for otllletog: the labor of these convicts fcr the pnrpone of deriving therefrom a rovonoe that should go aahfT bo possible towards making the 8tate Plrlson a elf-npporting Institution ans? with thin end In view author, lzed tbe leasta of t bo eon vltts to tbe persona making tbe highest bills- for fee labor they should render. Th propcaltkra was well reoelv'ed' br the'mdaabers 'lrreepectlTB" of party.'a'nd.lf we retn'cxnber aright not a sin gle unfrincKf oomoMsb w made kgn the press of onr State. -" The la1 w provided tkW opotraoU for labor shoald be made in a fairway, after ad-wrtis-Ing fbr. proposals, bids-beiag reoelvodt to. We have no reason todoubt that the law was compiled wish property and that contracts for uaeof conylcHabor hxv besn made la strict aooordanoe' whb Its pro vlsioou, at least it snob, is not the 'caw, the opponents of tbe measure do aotagserfctoth contrary. Those whoso badly denounce the aaanufBCtming banloess contemplated to be oarried on by convict labor, are tberefore suddenly awakened to a factdhey wore too baud t,see in ita-incip- lent stages, and we respectfully submit that newspaperitbat now.boll over n-Itii virtuous lndignatloccennot slalm to have been any more sagaafona tbeo the- Legislature, whose action theyiHO viole-nlly deuounoe. It Is tbe Srislnefs of 'a- domagoguoto howl vher)over he fliiubbe can gel up r.popular feeling an i make nny capital for himself or his cause. All suoh Indignant outbreak as this about tbe uje ofcunvlct Ivbor to take away the bread from honest mechanics, is liable to tbe construction or beiug the sheer est domagogiieUra, audi as we nevtr: havo oc- ,1'fthlou o rtspeot for domagoguc or their work, vi invits. a lair consideration of tbe facts with a vicv to'ariviug at thctrutb. Primarily, thvn, votn1to itiorgrauted that tbe people aro 'wixjous to see tho- Penitenti ary made folt-wippoiilng and avaW tho pub lic exffcuse wLiahhca proved so burdecbome. in the past. Tbe peoplo almosi unauiinousiy approveck tbe oat of tlv LiPglslfttiire nod there is n-J question that tho Legislature ucled fairly and inoarm honestly. This is a riMtt&r that in lio.way Involves tho governuant find adinlubtrstion of tbe Penitentiary which do& net come within the purview sfthH argumens. Here is rjo (incbtlon mtida that the cen trna's havb not been ulily lot and that the intention c-J tho Legislature 1 being honestly CPJried out Having laid down those propositions the cxt question U: What v.ork is being Cone at the Penitentiary? Yesterday a company af well known citizens commenced the man ufacture. Shore nf boots and shoes and the tanning of feather, tne occupation that have never prospered ojflate in Oregon, and which do not interfere with our meohanlos, as our coarse boots and shoos are brought from aboard (some of themimade in peni tentiaries of other-Stakes) and our hides are constantly shipped from Salem to, California and leather Imported from that State. Last year convict ilabor was used ior the manufacture of ilax, and the Smith Bros. went Into bankruptcy Rfterwarda. Probably no objections will be made to the use of con' vict labor for that purpose. Another con traot has been mado for labor to be used for the same purpose the present year, Mr. P. I. Willis making tbe contract for tbe use of Smith Bros. These two contracts are all that are made at tho present time,and our readers can judge for themselves if the labor so used Is a detri ment to the interests of the public or In any sense prejudicial to the succossof skilled me chanics of Salem or of tbe rest of Oregon. We assert that it Is uot, ts there Is no skilled labor Involved, aud if there was we do not know why the be&t good of tbe people of Or egon would uot be advanced thereby. The leasing of convicts is at most only au experi ment, and when the facts are made apparent to the next Legislature then such action will be taken as shall seem best and for the Inter est of the State at large. We havo made inquiry as to what use la being made of convict labor, above what 1 contracted for by the State Manure-taring Company ana for tbe mauuf'cture of flex. It seems that th.e Capitol Commissioners have, In accordance with ikw, selected from the rematuing number such persons as they can use In the m-viafactura of brick for the State Capitol and for the manufacture of the iron work needed iu that buildlug. George Collins has a contract for making brick for the Capitol, the Commissioners furnljulug him the oouvlct labor and so lessening tha eost of manufacture. A. J. Brown has a sim ilar contract for the Iron work, and in both of these instances the State and tbe tax-pay-era o( Oregon have the benefit of the convict labor. Tbe remaining force of couvicta is all needed for the work of the Penitentiary, making garden and cutting and hauling wood. It la tberefore the sheerest and most con temptible deiuagooulsu to try to prejudice tne mlud of the people with raise statements about tbe use that Is being made of oouvlct labor uuder the law pasoed last autumn. Resides ail this it is a gratuitous Insult to the skilled mechanics of onr State tc inti mate that so many of them reach the Peul tentiary as to Injure the prospects of those who are outside. W. B. Parker writes the Ortgmta of a robbery, at Astoria, the home of Samuel Auaselt being burglarised and Una rifle, a all ver watch, gold locket and chain aad flO in cola being taken besides other things.
