SECOND EDITION.

TWO EDITIONS 1.

Of this Paper are published. The FIRST EDITION, on Friday Evening, has a large circulation among farmers and others living outside of the city. The SECOND EDITION, on Saturday Evening, goes into the hands of nearly every reading person in the city. Every Week's Issue Is, in fact,

TWO NEWSPAPERS,

In #liich all Advertisements appear for ONE CHARGE.

THE Oregon Legislature has indefinitely postponed a bill which allowed female suffrage. A member endeavor ed to have an amendment allowing women te vote in all cases touching the licensing or sale of intoxicating liquors He did not think women were fit to vote upon all questions, but thought they ought to have a vote upon the liquor matter as bearing directly upon their interests.

In our estimation there is but one view to this question of female suffrage. He is an unjust man who argues that women aro not as competent to vote as men are. To say that women are competent to vote only on the liquor question, and not upon the tax question, is ridiculous. It is too late in the afternoon of the nineteenth century to say women are not competent to cxercise the rifcht of suffrage. Their judgment is just as good as that of men, and their morals are better. The only question is, do women wish to vote? When they do, then they should be permitted to do so, and they will be.

AFTER tho weather and elections, there is nothing apparently more uncertain than race horses. A lew triumphs on the turf make a swift-pacing steed famous and popular. But this reputation for speed is generally very suddenly quenched by some new equine aspirant to fame. Of late the public have had as representatives of how fast horses can possibly run in'"Kentucky," "Kingfisher," "Longfellow,"and "Harry Basset." Now the latter haS been very badly beaten, indeed, by a hitherto unknown horse

called "Monrachist,"

a famous nag now, and destined so to remain until he is in turn beaten, which, it Is safe to presume, judging the future by the past, will be very soon. Race horses and candidates for ofllceare not to be relied on with the slightest de gree of certainty.

FOR several years past there has been a strong feeling in this State against the grand jury system, but up to the pres cut time no person has suggested an ofloctive substitute, and all efforts for a change in this direction have failed Oregon, a short time since, passed a law doing away with grand juries and giving justices of the peace power to try persons charged with minor criminal oflences. Rsbberies, murders and other felonies, will be tried by juries, in the criminal courts, on informations made before the judges. How this will work remains to be seen. It is claimed, however, that persons charg ed with crime will have more speedy trials, and that it will bo a great saving in the matter of costs.

THK world does move, and really we do propress as it moves. At Cincinnati, this week, two widows recovered live thousand dollars each for the loss of their husbands in an accident caused by the carelessness ot a railroad employe. Not a very high valuation on a first-class husband, of course, but theu these recoveries go towards settling the question that carelessness is a crime among men charged with the care of tho public conveyances of the country.

A RELIGIOUS convention, just held at Rochester, New York, has suggested to tho consideration of all Christian people the payment of wages on Monday instead of Saturday. The grounds assigned aro that it results "in a better observance of the Sabbath, lost intemperance and marked moral, physical and financial improvement, both of establishments and localities where it is practiced."

WILLIAM CLUCK, who savagely and willtuliy murdered his wife, in April last, at Indianapolis, by deliberately emptying the contents of a revolver, shot after ahot, into her body, was tried at Indianapolis this week. The jury found him guilty of murder in the first degree, and said that he shall suffer death. A new trial has been asked, but it is net probable that it will be granted.

THK cabbage and the vine don't agree it appears. If you plant a cabbage at the foot of a vine, the latter will shake the former, or, in less intelligible English, will draw itself away.

jLOVE OF COUNTRY. No grander instance of devotion to country is Recorded in history than the recent exodus of the inhabitants of Al sace and Lorraine, and there is some thing in the expatrition of tfaese people that would soften the stoniest heart, They are victims of those peculiar hard ships which iall upon the inhabitants of border districts in time of war. The people of the northern tier of Southern States in this Union had an experience in these hardships during the late rebellion.

Alsfcce and Lorraine are conquered provinces, and have become part of the price which France qiays to Germany for the ransom of her other territory, The people are German in origin, German in language and German in hab,jits but the attachment is to Frauce, and they appear to prefer to cast their lot with the vanquished French rather than with the victorious Germans. The Berlin government has not been .needlessly hard in its dealings with the conquered provinces on the contrary, it has treated them with kind consideration, extending to them such exemptions as it could afford, and exacting as little of them as possible

But all the leniency the Berlin government cau extend to them does not restore them to France and this the real grief ol the subject people. The Berlin government is resolved to make tile acquired provinces a barrier against future French aggressions. The French do not more certainly contemplate a future trial of strength with the Germans, than do the Germans themselves. If the former are waiting for the time to come, the latter are preparing for it and one of the conditions which they pitilessly exact for their own security is that there shall be no hostile population in Alsace and Lorraine, to give aid and comfort to tho enemy in a future war. They are Germanizing the acquired provinces. They have restored to them their old German names, Elsass and Lothringen they have substituted the German language for the French in the schools, and introduced their own compulsory system of education they have given German names to the streets ij Metz and Strasbourg German troops saunter warily through the avenues of th6 sullen and almost deserted cities and, turn whither they will, the afflicted people meet some stern memento of their changed condition. The Berlin government not long since issued an order submitting.to the inhabitants of the two provinces the question whether they would be German or French those refusing to beco ne Ger mans and accept all the responsibili ties and duties, along with the rights and immunities ot a German connec tion, were to withdraw from tho coun try on or before October 1st. All who remained afler that were to be regarded as having elected to become Germans By thousands, and by tens of thousands have the vanquished people departed The emigration has been going on for year past, but in the latter part of Sep tember it became a rush, and it is be lieved that if the time had been extend ed that in one yegr's time the German Emperor would not have had one sin gle Frenchman to show in proof of his having conquered and annexed two of the most populous of the provinces of France.

THE TORCH.

Tho torchlight business has been very much overdone this campaign and we are really glad to see a healthy reaction setting in with sensible people The large sums of money, to say nothing of time and shoe leather, that have been wasted in these mammoth demon strations, welbelieve could have been more profitably used in paying speak ers, circulating documents and rallying voters on the day of election. Wo clip the following sensible remarks from the Cincinnati Gazette: "We"heartily indorse the suggestion that the violence caused by political processions shall be prevented by suspending political processions altogether. These are most senseless performances. They might march till doomsday, and they would not turn a single vote. They are mere attempts to a play numbers. They amount to nothing in this, for but a small portion of either party will turn out to march around the streets. One parade is simply a challenge to the other party to parade. More than this grows out of these processions. The very fact that they are displays of forces stirs up bad blood. This exhibits itself in counter cheers bv the bystanders for tbe oppos Ing candidates. These are hissed out in the faces of the marchers, and are intended to be a taunt or a challenge. If uietlv received, the outsiders assume bat they are cowed. Of course tbe law and the police can make no offense of a cheer by a bystander for an opposing candidate in tbe face of a procession. But it is generally meant for a provocation, ana it is very apt to work that way, and to bring on collisions,"

TUB St. Louis Democrat prints this beautiful little story: "There is a covered bridge at Peoria five hundred feet above high-water mark. A drover recently attempted to drive a thousand sheep across it. When about half-way over the bell-wether noticed an open window, and, recognising his destiny, msde a strike for glory and the grave. When he reached the sunlight he at once appreciated his critical situation, and, with a leg stretched toward each cardinal point of the com piss, be uttered a plaintive *Ma-al* and descended to bis fate. The next sheep and the next followed, imitating tbe gesture and the remark of the leader. For boors it rained sheep. The erewhile placid stream was incarnadine with the Ills blood ot moribund mutton, and not until the brief tail ol tbe last abeep as It disappeared through the window wared adlen to this wicked world did the movement ruasf

TKKRF-H4UTE SATURDAY EVENING MAIL, OCTOBER 19. I872r

When my father settled in Logan county there "was not a not a newspaper printed south of Green river, no mills short of forty miles, and no schools worth the name. Sunday was a day set apart for hunting, fishing, horse-racing, card-playing, balls, danccs and all kinds of jolity and mirth. We killed our meat out of the woods, wild, and beat our meal and hominy with a pestle and mortar. We stretched a deer skin over a hoop, burned holes in it with tho pronges o! a fork, sifted our meal, baked oqr bread, eat it, and it was first-rate eating too. We raised or gathered out of the woods our own tea. Wo had sage, bohea, cross-vine, spice and sassafras teas in abundance. As for coffee, I am net sure that I ever smelled it for ten years. We made our sugar out of the water of the maple tree, and molasses too. These were •eat luxuries in those days. We rais'our own cotton and flax. We waterrotted our flax, broke it by hand, scutched picked the seed out of the cotton with our fingers our mothers and sisters carded, spun and wove it into cloth, and they cut and made our garments, bed-clothes, itc. And when we got on anewsuitthus manufactured, and sallied out into company, we thought ourselves 'so big as anybody.'

WHEN it is considered how eagerly the world accepts each new vehicle lor the numbing of pain, either mental or physical, it would seem that in hi* dreadlul cry for nepenthe, the Poet Poe merely echoed the longings of common humanity for an artificial oblivion. The new sedative drug, chloral, is an invention of almost immediate^present, and yet the London Lancet, in calling attention to its popularity, declares that it is manufactured by hundreds of pounds daily, and quotes a late letter ffom Baron Liebig, affirming that one ierman chemist makes and sells half a ton every week. The Lancet, \Vhich is the best authority on the subject, 9ays it is absurd for any one to suppose^that any such quantity is used in medicine. There is only one explanation as to where tho rest goes, and that is supplied by another London Journal, which alleges that taking chloral is the new and popular vice, particularly among women, and is doing at least as much harm as alcohol. The drug is kept in thousands of dressing-cases, and those who begin its use soon grow so addicted to it that they pass their lives in a sort of contented stupefaction. We doubt that chloral has obtained this sort of use in the United States, and it wguld be well lor those who seek a poetic nepenthe that chloral i* not to be recommended, for lives fed upon it are apt to be lives of singular shortness as well as of»contentea stupidity.

IT is hard to determine wht^t really belongs to an individual when the law steps in to seize his effects for debt. An execution was recently put into the house of man while he was at his toilette. The officer making the seizure saw nothing more valuable than a set of false teeth with a gold plate, and he at ouce set them down in his inventory. The insolvent debtor protested that these teeth were sacred as part of bis person, and, suiting the potion to the word, put them at once into his mouth. But tho sheriff's officer, with many violent gesticulations, insisted that the teeth having been once in his possession, it was a contempt of court to take them away from him, and his threats forced the victim to surrender them. A court of law will have to consider tbe question whether such matters necessary to the make-up of a gentleman, when at hand for actual use, aro seizable. Under these circumstances, if the officer is sustained by law, it will be rather embarrassing for an impecunious debtor to have a wooden leg, a wig or a false eye lying about loose when the sheriff's officer makes bis friendly call.

TWO EVER Y-DA PICTURES. Autumn is tbe season for emigra-^ tion. Hie fierce heats of the summer have been toned down by the coolness vf autumal nights, and the smooth, hard roads lighten the labor of the patient draught beasts. Every day wo see loug trains of emigrant wagons.^ passing through our city, loaded with the household goods of sturdy farmers, seeking a new home iu tho far West. Here is a couple of queer vehicles, spparently bailing from North Carolina.^ The fore and 'hind wheels of a ricKetty tf old wagon each constitute a hastily improvised cart, into which has been piled a miscellaneous assortment of household "plunder." Each cart is drawn by a shadowy pair of cornute beasts, whose ribs are painfully apparent through their thin coating of flesh and scraggy hide. They are somewhere "betwixt" calfhood and bovine adolescence. Though the load is light enough,, in all conscience, the poor brutes have been so poor and jaded by long travel, and eo emaciated by thin diet, that they look ready to drop iu the street, and yield up their shriveled ghosts in despair. A gaunt, half savago creature, with hollow eyes and a clayey complexion leads the van. He is dressed in copperas breeches, tow linen shirt, and linsey woolsey "warmus," of uncertain color, and carries upon his shoulder an old flint-lock rifle. Following, on each side of the ft first cart, are one, two, three—yea, six —tow-headed children, of various denominations. Three bare-footed wo- I men and another lot of assorted chil-

dren bring up the rear, and under each cart trots a "yaller" dog, with sore ears and hungry wolfish eyes. It does not require much forecaste to predict the future of this party. They will find the promised land no El Dorado or Utopia, where bread and clothing may be had without labor. By and by they will be found retracing their steps thoroughly disgusted with tho West, and more than ever convinced fi: there is no placo like "Carolina" for a poor man. I '4

Watering his teams at the" pump at the corner of the public squaro is an emigrant of a different stamp. Sun- & browned, bold and cnergetic in his demeanor he will mako his mark in tho 4 rapidly developing region to which ho is going, llis team—two horses, with a couple of of sleok mules mules in tho lead—is in prime condition, and his wagon is packed in orderly fashion. 4 His children are well dressed and intelligent in appearance. Behind tho lorward wagon follows "old Mot," tied to the rear axle by a stout ropo is around her crumpled horns, and compelled, willing or not, to lollow tho

fortunes of the family. "Old Mot" contributes miik for tho little ones on tho long journey westward. Much ft1 travel has chastened her spirit and instead of pulling back when the wagou starts, she moves nimbly forward, never permitting the rope to become taut. 1 At night, when ths train encamps 011 the banks of some running stream, or near a farmer's well, tho patient cow is turned loose to graze. It is easy to see that this last emigrant party differs materially from tho first one. The head of this family would "get along" anywhore but iu Kansas or Missouri— perhaps Idaho or Montana, ho will bocome a largo landed proprietor, and in future years will bo looked up to by vk less prosperous pooplo as a sort of nabob. Perhaps his voice may yet bo hoard on the floors of Congress, when that body shall havo been purged of fools and knaves and honest men have a show. 9 .* I.:- I *7

THE other afternoon, when we saw a clerk of one of our stores tugging along with a big roll of goods, on his off shoulder, we respected him as a sensible man who wasn't ashamed to bo seen carrying a bundle through the street. A few hours later wo observed a different sort of person—one who wouldn't be seen carrying his own purchase he had bought about a quart of whisky and was staggering home with it in his skin because ho was too proud to carry a jug. These cases recall tho sensible words of an exchange:

Yesterday,while walking down street,5 we saw one of our wealthiest business men walking along with two bundles on his arm, buoyantly and frankly, just as if nobody saw it, and if they did be did not care. Home thirty-flvo or forty years ago bo was a county constable's son, and left home a poor boy to make bis own fortune. He has ev'i* dentlv never forgotten he was poor, or that labor has brought opulence and honor. That is one side of life. A little wsy farther on wo stepped into a grocery store, and found there a drygoods clerk purchasing a little sugar and tea. Although be was going right home to dinner, and could just as well have taken the articles along, he ordered them sent up. He was brought up to a poor boy, and is poor to-day. His father worked hard oebind the plow, barrow, and with tbecradlo and scythe. Labor was hirf first lesson, yel by so mo mock reasoning It is not now dignified or polite to carry home a small bundle. That is another side of life.

What Is that of our business, say. you. Individually none at all yet an members of society it is. No one should be above manual labor. As a people we aro growing "nicer tbanc wise." Wo can't get along because ot expensive habits. A merchant must charge us more for goods because wo must be waited on. When young peo-r*' pie start out to do for themselves, they must learn the true laws of thrift.
