Ehc Democrat. FRIDAY. JTJNE 6, 1873. HEPIBOCANISM JX ECROPK. ' i In both France and Spain tha genins 6f Republicanism is alruggiing with the decaying, yet etill tielertniiiett and Cruel spirit of Aristocratic power. The theory of the divino right of Kings which has for centuries held the masses of the people in eupersti x tious awe of tilled nobility is exploded ip those countries, but , the aristocra cy, aided by church influence, have still the advantage because they , possess : the wealth and eugage the sympathy of other European powers where Re publican principles have not taken so deep a hold. "", The spirit of constitu tional liberty in both Franco and Spain, though fighting against fearful . odds, is fall ot vigor and noble deter mination. No more beautiful illus tration can be given ot the strug gle than is fouud in the story of the youthful Hercules grapling with the hydra. : It is theoM contest of light . against darkness, freedom against sla- very, true religious freedom against priestcraft and bigotry. Fignera, Cas- telar and their noble band of associates are periling everything that man holds dear to establish good government where the ruins of the deserted throne of Amandus mark the advance ot despotism to the common sepulcher of aristocratic power. They are en titled to and will receive the sympa thy of every advocate of man's dear est rights and interests on earth. But it will require time to dispel the cloud of ignorance which causes a portion of . the Spanish people to adhere to the standard of Royalty. The slave who fights to wear feters is the most stub born foe that human freedom has to contend with. The jewel ot liberty is purchased only at a great price and the Spanish Republicans must not tire iu paying its .full value though each installment bo made in ashes, blood and tears. France is but Kale in advance of Spain on the road to a higher national lifo. , The resignation of M. Thiers and the election of Marshal McMahon to the Presidency bodes no good to the cause of the French Republic It will not be surprising at any moment to hear that the torch of eivil war has been relighted in the French Capital where the horrors ot the Commune will probably bo re enacted in all their ghastly detail. - While these tragic events are trans piring in the old world, our own Government "cannot act the part of an unconcerned and idle spectator. True, we may not disregard the ad monition ot the Father of his country by entering into "entangling alliances" with foreign nations, bat we may ex tend to those of every nation and kindred, who are fighting the battles of civil liberty, a moral sopport which will cheer them in tneir darkest hour of trial and give new vigor to their flagging spirits in the gloomiest mo ment of reverse. This glorious mis. 6ion we can perform by purifying our own Government and exhibiting to the world the blessings enjoyed by a nation redeemed; purified, exalted. . , EXD OP THE MODOC WAR. OTuU Shall be Done With Uu Captured 1 'War has smoothed his .wrinkled front." Capt. Jack and his ragged kennel of fish-eater, young and old, male and female, having eaten their last ration of crickets, camas and sal mon spawn, have sheathed their scalp ing knives, washed the blood of a "hundred slaughtered citizens and sol diets from their hands and surrender ed to General Davis. The gratifying intelligence is given as by the tele graph that the captives are all well fed and protected from insult by the bru tal white soldiers, while President Grant and his Cabinet are gravely considering what shall be done with them. We always desire to preserve a decent degree of modesty and trust it will not be considered nnpardona bly supercilious for as to suggest to our august ruler what deposition should be made of some of the lead ing characters among their subdued But nnconquered captives. Old Scon chin whom Meacham "shot in the al domen" and who was afterwards torn. ( to atoms by an exploding shell, but who still seems to, be in a good state of preservation, should study, for the ministry and be sent as a missionary to preach to' the fifteen hundred starv ing white children who labor twelve hours out of twenty-four for the pious mill owners of Providence, and who wickedly complain of their lot." The President should forward "Queen MaryTlo-TheodoreTiltbn with a polite 6aggcstiori that it might conduce to his domestic telicity, should he in turn deliver her to Henry Ward Beecher, with his compliments. Capt. Jack should be taken 'into- tho President's Cabinet. - His presence wo aid certain ly be beneficial in-that body,. He weald not only bd a safe counselor re garding the beaniy and advantages of the President's "peace policy," but h&: appointment would elevate-the moral tone of the Cabinet. Bogurf Charley, Steamboat Frank, Shacknasty Jitn and the whole Shacknasty family fchduld- Am sent to Massachusetts, as samples of fh'eeliildren of the forest," who have such unboun Jell 'interest in puritanic prayers.' . . . ; If these suggestions are Bot accept ed by His Serene Highness and his Fspint counselors,- why then let him act like an honest, intelligent man and pass the guilty murderers over to tho civil authorities of Jackaou comity, that they may suffer tho just penalty of their crimes and serve as an exam ple and a warning to other dusky fiends whoouly want an opportunity to commence another carnival of blood on our border. KASTKRN PHILINTUHOPT. While Eastern churches are peti tioning Heaven in behalf of the perse cuted Modocs, and Eastern journals are characterizing the people of Ore gon as barbarous outlaws because they desire the Indians punished for the innocent aumsement of scalping our friends and neighbors, strange scenes are being enacted in their own midst. A cor respondent writing from Prov idence, Rhode Island, and speaking of the recent strike of the starved and over-worked mill operatives in that city says: r White the leaders- of tho strike, most of the men in it, in fact, are not much hurt by working eleven hours a day, it is killing the women and children. Out on the Dyerville road was a roeeting of the Olueyville strikers. Perhaps there were fifteen hundred people present and at least three-fourths of them were . women and children. The women looked worn and haggercd and wild-eyed, and not one in twenty of them seemed to possess physical and mental health. There were boys of all ages there, but they appeared to stand their toil pret ty well and to be as lively with animal spirits as most boys in their social scale. , But the saddest sight of all was the little girls. Some of them, apparently, were not more than ten years old, and their eyes were sunken, their checks colorless and hollow, their shoulders and arms shrunken, and had they been a little more neat ly dressed one might have thought they were from the sick ward of some juvenile institution, naraiy one 01 them looked as though she had five years of life left in her. If the strike shoidd result in uothing more than to give these pale, wan children a few days in the open air, it will have done good." Where are the hypocritical liberty shriek ers of New England who are ever ready to weep over the wrongs of the poor negro and Indian, and whose hands are always thrust deep into their pockets to aid the undeserv ing? .Under the shadow of the very temples in whichthey pretend' to worship a just and merciful God are little girls of their own race and blood, "their eyes sunken, their cheeks colorless and hallow, their shoulders and arms shrunken," while their moth ers? worn haggered and wild-eyed," hover in despair over their tarnishing brood. Are not these mothers and children objects worthy of christian sympathy and aid? Arc they not at least entitled to simple justice ? Alas! not in the estimation of the cold blooded worshipers ot mammon among whom their lota are cast.- New England supports Grant, how ever, and, like ancient Rome, sits upon its seven hills and irom its throne ot greed and avarice rules the nation. We wish the starved and wasted forms of those Providence starvelings could be marched in moornful pro cession througbont the length- and breadth of the land that the labor ing masses of the people might sec to what they must all ' come at last on less there is a swift, radical and thor ough reform, in every department of the government. CBOVEB ON THE MODOC O.CEOTIOX. The following iit a copy of a tele gram sent to Washington on Wednes day last: -, ExEctmvE Omct, 1 KaU:m, Oregon, June 4, 1X73. f To the Secretary of War, Washington, I). C: As to the Modoc outlaws now In custody of the United Ktates military authorities, I most re spectfully request that those now standing In dicted iu the Circuit Court of Jackson county, Oregon, for the crime of raurd-r, who are not amenable to military execution, be delivered to the civil authorities of this State for trial and punishment. If they have a legal defense, based upon amnesty or upon denial of guilt, let the dc-lense be pleaded before the proper tribunal. (Signed) L.K.UROVEK, Governor of Oregon. : The Forest Grove Independent calls Scott of the Bulletin ,"thofat assist ant editor ot the ring organ." - The Bulletin editor cares not farthing long as what he is called to he is not called npon to give up his fat federal office, and he has nothing to fear from those Republicans who are ont in the cold while he basks in the smiles of . the man who owns the Republican party of Oregon. . If the Independent wishes to be really what its name implies let it plunreits genius for a higher fight and' strike at the root of evil. 1 The S. F.' Post reports tho arrival in that port of a-'ship load of railroad iron front Portland, being a part of the materia! originally intended to be used in the further construction of the Oregon and California railroad, but recently, sold ty Mr. Holladay jto the Pacific Central .Railroad ' Com pany. The Post adds; "As we un derstand it, Holladay has sold bonds- in Europe for the whole length of the road, .and now that he has got the money he ( stops building, and leaves the bondholders to whistle tor their money Tne Jacksonville Sentinel copies an article Irom the & HI Alta, ealogistio of Geo. II. Williams, which says that individual 'Amoved irom ew York to Iowa when quite a boy." Those who know the history of the man are aware thath- eutered 'Iowa as he did Ore gon, a carpet-bagoffice-holder under Presidential appointment.' .J " MR. MITCHELL'! DEFENCE. Elsewhere wo publish in full Sena tor Mtchell's explanation of tho scan-, dal which has been put in circulation regarding his i history v prior 'to hia 'coming to this State. , Were it not that. Mr. Mitchell js ia representative of the State in the highest tribunal to which the people aro entitled to send representatives, the; publio would have little right and less inclination, perhapj, to inquire respecting his an tecedents either ' social or political. But inasmuch as ho sought and ob tained tho high position he occupies, his good same becomes the property of the Stato, and any ' honor or dis graoo which may attach to him affects more or less tho honor of the State. In regard to assumrning a different name from that which he was known in his native State, Mr. Mitchell frank ly acknowledges that such charge is true,' and pleads in extenuation a per turbed state of mind caused, by do mestic troubles. . He . denies the charge that he wronged his former law partner, or 'anyone else out of a cent, and substantiates his statement by producing dispatches, the truth of which no one is inclined to question. The law provides a remedy in the case of pecuniary delinquenccs, and no one is silly enough to suppose that Mr. Mitchell is not able to meet an obligation of only a few thousand dol lars. In regard to the domestic diffi culties which Mr. Mitchell claims led to the indiscretion of changing his name no ono is so uncharitably inquis itive aa to care to hear them in detail, except the prurient minded whose good opinions are not worth courting. The people of Oregon will charitably ao cept Mr. - Mitchell's statement of his case so far as it goes but it is bis mis fortune that a discriminating publio find omissions in his rejoiuder which leave allegations made against him standing without denial. Wo under stand that the correspondence in the Pittsburg paper which first made the divnlgments in question, stated that Mr. Mitchell's first marriage relations were not legally dissolved until sev eral years after his second marriage. Here is a serious charge which Mr. Mitchell's friends are pained to find passed in silence in his " statement to the people of Oregon." And right here we drop this unpleasant subject. If Mr. Mitchell has an enemy so in veterate in hate and- malice as to de sire his failure in vindicating his hon or in this case, we envy not that man his qualities of head or heart. We could not say less on the subject and discharge what we honestly conceive to be a public doty nor do we desire to say more. A. STATEMENT TO THE PEOPLE OP ODECO.f Inasmuch as certain articles have appeared in newspapers of recent date reflecting in serious terms on my l - . r - ... r conduct in my native state (Pennsyl vania) in early life, I submit to the people of Oregon, who have known me intimately for 13 years, the follow ing statement and evidence io.aoswer to the charges made in such articles. ' To so far a the charges, first" put in circulation by an anoymous corres pondent, impute to me any dishonest act, I deny them, and each and all of them, positively, unequivocally and absolutely and pronounce them and each of them wholly false. And I submit to the people of Oregon, that though it is a fact that I had my mis fortune in early life and encountered domestic troubles of painful charac ter, resulting in separation and divorce troubles which I trust your gener ous indulgence will permit me to pass in silence, it is my privilege to be able to say that in all the' time that I resided in Pennsylvania, I committed no wrong, nor did any act, that has ever . lost to' me the confidence, or esteem either of my former law part ner there, Colonel John M. Thomp son whom the articles in quejlion charge mc with wronging, or of any one who had the intimate knowledge of my history that he had; and so tar as all the charges against mo are concerned, I prefer, rather than giv ing my own version, to abide by the testimony herewith submitted, com ing as it does from men of prominent position and unimpeachable integrity, most ot wnom Know personally my .whole history in Pennsylvania from earliest- boyhood, and all of whom have full knowledge of my reputa tion there now. ; Any charge or pretence that I ever wronged my former partner, , Colonel Thompson, or any other man in Pennsylvania, or elswhere, out of one cent or any amount whatever, or ever attempted to do so, is nntrue. That I ever had any difference or difficul ties with that gentleman, as charged, or in any manner or for, any reason, is equally talse. On the contrary, ' I have always had, and still have, his conntfence and respect. . It is true : that at the time I left Pennsylvania the law firm of which Colonel Thompson and myself -were the only members, bad an . unsettled business, including an amount of out standing accounts in which I had on- halt interest, lbe arm was also in debted in certain amounts. Before leaving the State I transferred to my partner ail my interests, in . said- firm, together with certain other property, which at the time was believed to be amply sufficient to meet all demands; and the whole business was settled up to the full and. complete satisfac tion, not only for my said partner, but of all other persons, and without the loss of one, cent to anyone. ; Li the settlement 'of this business and sale of property a dificiency existed of a few: hundred dollars, which ! subsequently paid; and in support of the statement here made, as well as in evidence of the oonfidenoe ; in which J am ; held to-day by my old friend and acquaintances in Pennsyl vania, I herewith submit a dispatch, received by ine on the 27th inst., from said law partner: - l v ; - ' -V t ' V.J iBcTtR Pa..MayB7r M7S.

Your record here I all right. Call on me lu any way you thlupro j - Without conceding that it Is the right of any man to demand that I should lay my domestic affairs before the world, I simply state that- mis fortunein respect to these relations was the sole cause ot my course in leaving my native State: and I aver that I was and am justified not only in my mind in the course. I pursued, but also, so far aa I am aware, in the opinion of all candid porsons well acquainted with the facts. , As an evidence of the truth of what I say, and as a further vindication of my character for integrity ' in relation to the roatteri charged, I herewith sub mit a telegram from Hon. Samuel A. Purviance, of Pittsburg, Pa., for several years member, ot Congress from that Stale, and at present a mem ber of tho Constitution Convention now in session in Philadelphia, a gen tleman who has known me intimately from childhood and is' familiar with my whole history, in Pennsylvania, and whose ' integrity will not be questioned by any man who kuows him : ' : ' Pnit.ATiKr.pniA, !., May 27, 18T8 1 To John II.

SAMUEL A, Owing solely to domestio troubles, seeking at that time only obscurity and hoping that I might be forever seperated from some of the memories of the past, but having committed no wrong act to be concealed, neither contempolating tho commission of any, I in my then pertrubed state of mind decided to be known and called thereafter by my mother's maiden name Mitchell which was my mid dle name by baptism. This I frankly conceded waa an indiscreet, ill-advised and injudicious act; a "great blun der, a foolish mistake; I offer tor it no excuse save my inexperience in the world, and a great deire to sepa rate myself, as far as po&kible, from a past tnat was, nu is, inexpressiniy painful. It waa a violation of the conventionalities of life for which I would gladly atone for a life labor. It is not, however, in contravention oi any publio law. ine act at once became irrctriveable. I leave it to others to judge whether, thus yielding to the misdirection of a perturbed mind in days of dejection and sorrow, is a sin that years of honorable effort in the walks of daily life cannot atone.

Pobtland, Oregon, May 31, 1873 ; Speaking Of the Mitchell scan da and that gentleman's defence, . the Portland Daily Neu very truly says "The most serious : feature of tbn cor respondence in question is that which leaves him in - the position of having contracted a marriage in this country while he bad a wife in Pennsylvania.
