1 I v' Ih* ftimcs. McGREGOR, MAY liJ, IMS. Hirer Trade. This important western Interest is being well cultivated this Spring. JJW& on the rivers of the west is what we want instead of pulilic meetings and "blow." The Mohawk recently carried a freight Hut of One Hundred thousand bushels of wheat &. (Flour, reduced to wheat, included) from the upper river to St. Louis, to be distri butcd ninong the river lines to New Orleans, via the Ohio or by riral Rails to •n eastern market, either Atlantic or truns-Atlantic. Chicago is quitting her toasting and has commenced to groan. Stew York is awaking to the danger of her Railway monopolist conventions and to tlie counter-balancing importance of an tfglmost free transit of produce on the rcat Kiver. When ths Boards of Trade if Chicago, Buffalo, Net* York, Milwau kee ,\nd Boston, can see that we of the Rorthwest have a chcap route to Europe, South America, or to the West Indies, %y water, free to all, they will put the grcesure of public Commercial interest Hjion their Railway turtle and force Capi tal to run its head out of its shell. St. Louis and New Orleans are our natural allies against the Cihorbant demands of Chicago and Milwaukee and their R'v editors. Not far hence we will have the but pleasing rattle of Locomotives Horn St. Paul to St. Louis, and then, with rival lines per rail and per river, we can "bite our thumbs" at all attempts to re 4ucc our laboring tnea to hewers of wood drawers of water. There's a good tfrne coming, and we fcope to see it. The •abject would bear a longer article than t$is, but people so seldom read extended notices, that we cl«se with the following Jfevity: Mr. Geo. W. Twinem, Clork of George L. %*, of the Forwarding and Commission t|Ade of McGregor, favors us with reports tp follows: "lloceipts per Steamer St. Iliaul, Capt. Davidson, May 8th, 100 kegs "l^ftils for Ifoyt & Ilolten, West Union 30 Ijfcgs for Sibinson & Bicbnell 86 packages i$on for Drake, Dayton & Patrick, Mc Gregor 10 cases of Whito Lead for Weiser of Decorah.

We pub ifibed it, and have since learned that the tribune was mad because its principals or employees got no appointments. IIow may be, we neither know nor care, but as an obverse view, we give the fol lowing from Hon. Wm. Loughridge, Rep. lot the 4th Iowa District. It is clipped from a private letter to tho Knozville Yiter. The Tribune and Judge Lou^h rlflge do not seem to agree. The new Cabinet ii now organized—gives general satisfac tion. It is composed of good, sound, radical Republicans. Buutwell is a mag fiifuent man, true to the right, and as' pure as the snow on the mountain top. Creswell is sound and true, and will run the P. O. on radical principles, aud put none but loyal men in office. Cox is a splendid man, and a good Republican. Fte=li, Hoar and Borie are all true Repub Ifcans and Grant is as true as steel to the right. He will protect the lowly and the weak, and enforce the law. Grant has determined to send twrc negro Ministers to Huyti and Liberia. The world moves I think we will adjourn by the 10th of %ril." 4*^ e tbink Grant is right, in sending Wgro ministers to Ilayti and Liberia. Tht-re is where the race properly belongs.

The ever-present Chinese will piqne our curiosity. We must look into their homes —compact, simple, yet not over-clcan or sweet-smelling quarters—into their restau rants and their theatre, if it is in opera tion, and into their "Josh Houses.'' Their stores invite us with open doors, and tempt our poekets with all the various specialities of Chinese manufacture, at reasonable prices. A few are men of stature and presence, with faces of refine ment and gentle streng:h the many who go sneaking about their work—a low type of mankind, physically and mentally, imported here like merchandise, and let out to labor under a system only half re moved from slavery itself. Y'et they are an important element in the industry and progress of all this side of the continent. I5ut for their labor, the Pacific Railroad woult have least been ten years longer in buildir.g. Twelve thousand of them have done nenrly all the picking and drilling and shoveling and wheeling of the road, from Sacramento to Salt Lake. They furnish the principal labor in the factories they make cigars the}' dig and work over neglected gold gulches they are cooks they almost monopolize the clothes Some of the radical papers, in view of the late developments in the Sionx City railroad case in New York, are anxiously inquiring after Allison. Last February it will be remembered that in his reply to Col. Thomas, he made a flourish over an investigation that he was going to ask for. The Oincinnatti Gazette is now anxiously inquiiing for Allison, as will be seen in the following extract: "Mr. homan, of Dubuque, Towa, pub lished a letter in. the Gazette, last winter, making serious charges agaiust Mr. Alli son, member of congress from that State, in connection with the Sioux City railroad. The late suit in New York, in which Chas. A. Lam bard recovered nearly a quarter million dollars as his share of the specula tion, as stockholder, reminds us that Mr. Allison was also one of the favored few that he said he w&uld ask an investigation by congress into Thomas' charges and that the whole matter has since been in a sound sleep. Since the developments in the Lombard case, the public would like to know whether a member ot congress was a party hi that enterprise by which the government wa^cheated out of a large amount of money. The chief-engiueer, it will be recollected, confessed, ou the trial, that the road was not constructed as the law required to entitle it to the govern ment bonds, notwithstanding the subsidy had been received. How about that inves tigation, Mr. Allison The President was inclined to have an order promulgated giving tho inen em ployed by tlie United States, ten hours pay for eight hours work. Somebody, however, dug up for Borie, who was the most directly concerned, the information that when Congress paused the eight hour law, it failed to remember and rcpe 1 a prior law, which prohibited the payment by the United States of greater wages than was paid by private parties for the same work. It is evident thai Congress did not know what it was about, or that the ei «ht hour law was merely an electioneering dodge. Congi«6a was either ignorant or dishonest upon a careful scrutiny of its uoings for the last four years wo are in clined to vote it both. And so explodes the eight hour law, and tho Wilson letter. Congress has not shown any disposition to save money, and it has shown an inordin ate desire for popularity. The only tiling which is surprising in this matter in, that it did not enact that workmen should have double pay for half work—provided they wore Republicans.

At least seventy-five thousand of them are scattered over these Pacific States west of Utah and though our American and European laborers quarrel with and abuso them though the law gives them no rights, but that of suffering punishment though they bring no fami lies, and seek no citizenship though all their women here arc not only commercial but expressly imported as such though they are mean and contemptible in their vices as in their manners though they are despised and kicked about on every hand still they come and thrive, slowly better their physical, moral and mental conditions, and supply this country with what it most needs for its growth and prosperity—cheap labor. What we shall do with them is not quite clear yet how they are to rank, socially and politically, among us, is one of the nuts for our social science students to crack, if they can but now that we have depopulated Ire land, and Germany is holding on to its own, and the old sources of our labor supply are drying up, all America needs them and olwying the great natural law of demand and supply, Asia seems almost certain to pour upon and over us count less thousands of her superfluous, cheap living, 6lovv-changing, unassimilirting but very useful laborers. And we shall welcome, and then quarrel over and with them as we have done with their Irish predecessors.

Woman'* Rights. We clip from the Des Moines Register the following sensible article. Let Editors Ioica State liegister:—The mid dle of April is here, and I bear no more about the proposed State Woman Suffrage Convention. Why don't they come, that wo may know the true cause why women want to vote? Is not this the reason they do not come, because they are not assured of the two hundred dollars an evening If these Women who arc going about lec turing, do so from purely philanthropic motives if a desire to ameliorate the con dition of their sex was their true motive, they would come and try to convince the women of Iowa that 'tis their right to have the ballot, even though they received no pay tor coming. Self, and a wish to be notorious for something, seems to be their object, for the truly benevolent of all ages have given their fortunes, instead of making them, in the cause of benevolence. The names of Florence Nightingale and n host of our own dear American sisters, who left their homes, and exposed them selves to the diseases incident to camp life, to watch over the beds of our dying sol diers, will be remembered with gr.ititude, while those of Anna Dickinson and her co adjutors will be sunk in oblivion. I have yet to hear a reasonable reason why women want to vote. Your corres pondent, L. M. B., in h:r communication, of Feb. 2-ith, says "I wit-b to vote be cause I wish to vote." Another corres pondent says 'tis to "protect their proper ty." Jennie, of Adair ccunty, says: "They want the rij.*ht of suffrage to. pro tect them from unjust and oppressive laws." What are those unjust and oppressive laws of which she speaks Surely Iowa has no laws which hinder a woman from doing anything which she is capable of doing. She can lecture at borne and in public site can be minister, doctor, law yer, postmaster, or fanner. She can hold property of all kinds in her own name. A prominent gentleman of Des Moines once said to me that a woman could own the whole State of Iowa and no man could take it for her husband's d«bts. Now if we have a right to do anything we please, and can own all wc have and can cam, what more do wo want? Three thing* only are denied us, viz.: To take all the degrees in a Masonic Lod^c to ask lovers to marry us, and to vote I' All of which are quite unnecessary* "Hath not the potter power over the same clay to make one vessel unto honor and another unto dishonor?'' Now if the Allw ise Father saw proper,to make some of us women, and others men, and to as sign to eat-h of us different vocations and duties, why do we dare gainsay His doings aud complain because we are not all men, •'because we want to be men." If we inu:-t have all of men's rights then let u adopt men's attire, and let the weaker of the two (husband and wife) take care of the household and rear up the children, while the stronger goes forth to the oflice or the plow, as ths case may be, to provide for their mutual wants. If I say that I am just as good as my neighbors, and continually try to act and dress liku them, 'tis conclusive proof that I do not think as 1 say. 'Tin just so with those women who are trying to have all of men's privileges and rights—the very act declares to tho world that tbey deem men their superiors. I am willing to say that I respect, yes, honor, a 6trong minded manly man, and think him much superior to a strong minded manly woman. There never was a time in the history of our natiou when the refining influence-of women was more needed than at the present time tf* young men and loys of no generation over need ed a mother's and sister's love and watch fulness n.ere than now. As a lovely girl in Des Moines said to me not long since that "women had better be trying to tsach men to be religious than to be wanting to vote." L. M. B. says that the fair daughters of Iowa are "too indolent to ask for an addi tional care or responsibility, and their lov ers deem that aelicacy and womanliness which is in fact she selfishness and lazi ness." I deny that the daughters of Iowa are indolent or lazy, that they partake too much of the spirit.of Iowa go ahead ilict ness for that the very atmosphere of Io wa is proof against laziness. When they want the ballot they are well able to ask for it themselves, aud tbey will not ask for women from other States to lecture, or hold conventions for them. The women of Iowa do. not want the ballot. I said in a previous article that 1 did not believe that one mother in ten wanted to vote. I now say that not one woman in a hundred wants to vote Straws you know, "show which wnv the wind blows." During the month of March I heard the opinions of (directly and indi rectly) fifty-three different women not one of whom said they wanted to vote they were all well informed and intelligent.— They all as one, said that if the elective franchise were given them tbey should vote to counterbalance the vote of the ig norant and vicious. Again your corres pondent, L. M. B., says that the "most efficient workers in the cause are large hearted, great brained men." Let those great brained men look back to the days of their boyhood and see if the wives and mothers of those days were not treated with mprp respect by both father and son, than are the wives and mothers of the pre sent day. Thirty or forty years ago the father spoke of the mother with deference to ibe soQ. The son in turn spoko to the iiother with due respect, never calling Uer he "old woman," nor his father the "old man." In H. KUTKBS. 3. V. KFNG. those days ffcYQs it burning disgrace to both husband t.nd wife to be divorced if the parties were church members they were most generally churched from the it t» cammoa thing and 'a Oplnioi^About looked upon as a matter of business. 'Xviiil l»»oon become fashionable. The sacred rite j'f matrimony will be considered of the ,™sam6l consequence as buying a farm, or taking interest in railroad stock to be disposed of as soon the purchasers become tired of the business. and free frntn all While uiixin the mortnr and carry-in me hod. 44 A Mother" use her pen frequently. There is no man on earth who regards women more highly than we do, but because of that regard we do not wish them to be un sexed, bloomerieed, pantalooncd, veloci peded, or in any way converted—perverted we mean—into the coarse customs which men, necessnrilj', have to practice In order ito hold their own in the battle of life. A woman is a bird in a hout-ehold cage—ad mirable for her confident relianoo on the protection of ber husband, her father, and her brothers. She is the idol of all, and everything will be piven her while she re mains a dependant on the strength, honor, and protection of MAN but when the as sumes tho charactcr of the rougher sex she leaves the home and habits which God appointed for her and becomes a social montro8ity. "Whom God joins together let no man put asunder." A difference of political opinion exemplified at the polls or in the tcstrunvwould soon "put asun der" thousandn of families now enjoying all the blessings of domestic peace. All this comes of this turbulent, factions element of leanttn's rights, for woman's rights, woman's suffrage, and—I was about to siiy J'ree lore, «jo baud in hand. Instead I#of those privileges proving a blessing to Woman kind they will prove a curse.— •'Twill be the cause of many contentions ^land misunderstandings between husband and wife, brother snd sister. Women of Iowa, "Let us have peace." Bmrial ot Olncntcri In England. Of all bad habits, narrow-mindedness is the toughest to break, whether in indivi duals or in a people. In England there are cherished follies perfectly amazing to American common sense, which are only to be surrendered through long, slow pro cesses of legislation. It has long been felt to be a grievance that Dissenters could not inter the dead in their own parish burial ground, without submitting to the use of a service to which they take exception, and to that service being conducted by a clergyman of the State Church, while the minister of their own communion was compelled to stand silent by. L'nbaptised children as well as adults are refused decent burial, even when liiinist rs of other churches ar« quite will ing to officiate and gratify the feelings of mourning friends. In regard to marriage and church rates the old laws have been modified in favor of Dissenters, and now with great delibe ration, the British Parliament is contem plating a change which will allow a man to have a decent burial even if he and his friends do not belong to the established church. The world indeed moves, but this respectable body of legislators can only recognize the fact by lagging along behind. As a specimen of the enormous difficul ties which stand in the path of gouty limbed legislation, we notice the following. All that the Dissenters ask is that they may have the liberty of bringing their own ministers to the iirave side, and the bill before Parliament provides that "it shall be lawful for the minister or priest of the religious denomination to which the deceased belonged, to attend such burial." But it is objected that "some sects repu diate all distinctions of laity and clergy, others avail themselves of female ministra tion, and there are many more which enjoy the services of irregular preachers, who are one day traders and politicians, the next occupants of the pulpit in the chapel hard by.'' That, among the Dissenters of England, nny such irregularity prevails to such an extent ns to block the possibilities of fair ltfgislation on the subject, is not true, and the objections prove only how reluctant many are to njve men their rights.- X' ECTMENICAT, ^IIF. COUNCIL.—It is re ported in England tlmt a considerable number of Anglican clergyman have de termined to attend the approaching Gen eral Council at J'ome in order to 'May their dilRoulties before the assembled pre lates ol the Universal Church." Their "earnest desire," it seems, is to he united to Home, but their chief difficulty is that they have perfect frtith in the validity of their orders, nrd believe that it would be sacrilege either to submit to re-ordination or to revert to the position of laymen. A special committee has been appointed at Rome to deal with th3 subject of Anglican orders. The result will probably be the Recession of a large number of the English clergy to tlie lioinan Charob, accompanied by xuany of the laity. A highly intelligent lady, a resident of Syracuse, N. Y., says that she was afflict ed nearly a year, periodically, with de rangement of the circulation, tho blood rushing to the lungs with such force as to threaten congestion and death. This was attended with the most intense pain in all parts of the body. Failing to obtain re lief from any of the physicians whom she employed from time to time, she was induced to try the PLANTATION IJITTEKS, and to her surprise and joy th^y have re lieved her, and she is now in good health and flesh.
