Since the development of the Mitchell-Hippie scandal the Radical papers oi the State hav( studiously avoided its discussion, most of them scarcely alluding to it; and the few who did do so, approached the nasty subject gingerly and cautiously, as though fearful of being thought apol ogists of Mitchell, and yet not daring to outrage the party proprieties by denouncing his disgraceful career, The wiser journals, as the Bulletin, knew the party could not afford to champion, or even apologize for him; and the "weaker-vessels"' ol Radical journalism, taking their cue from that paper, maintained an equally reticent position upon the qnestiou.V But tho well settled poetical axiom that "Fools rush in 'where angels fear to tread," has another verification in the case of tho Register of ' this city, which ap peared last week with a most abject, humiliating and disgraceful apology for Mitchell's moral delinquencies. This is the more astonishing when we remember that tho editor olhe i?e$r- ister is a minister of the gospel one whose duty it is rather to -warn the world against crime then to apologize for it. ' "': ' ":. . . That we may not bo accused of misrepresenting tho Register, wo qnote a portion ot its article, leaving out only that part which speaks of the papers that do not approve of Mitchell's conduct as "newspaper as- einains," "low-down cess-pool scaven gers," and accompanying chaste and christian like epithets. After exhaust ing bis stock of billingsgate upon Mitchell's denouncers, our eminently pious neighbor thus disposes of the case:" . - . , "And now let us ask, what has the character of John H. Mitchell, of Ore- iron, to do with the character of John M. Hippie, or I'eniisyivaniaT-. ine mi ter, with his forsaken wife; his report ed lrief season of debituch witlt an llicit companion: his changed name: his great sins airainst the laws of God ami society, 1 in the past! Years ago, a besetting sin, a propensity which baa clouded the private lives of many of our public men, entailing untold misery upon them aud their families, caused him to yield the behests of his better Judgement to the instincts of a depraved passion, and he fell. (Sad that it was mo. Hud that in the way of sins one evil crowd upon another that no power seems able to rescue. But in the ersou of John II. Mitchell, of Oregon we do not recognize these sins. We see-a man of generous ..npuleHj of warm frieHilsh.' jw; ot unimpeached integrity. IKe see a courteous and able lawyer; an ambitious and success ful politician. AVe see a citizeu of Oregon, who has, during a residence of many years among her people, so lived and acted in every relation as to succeed in commanding their friend ship and confidence. In the character of John . Mitchell, as has been daily wrought out among us in Oregon, the people are not tlis-p-accd in the Senate ! of the United States." 4 Leaving out the fact of the clerical character and profession of the writer ot the foregoing paragraph, is it , not astonishing that a man can so far for-1 get his dnty to his fellow citizens and his pride for his State as to utter such heinous sentiments? .We cannot be lieve that onr neighbor reflects the true ; sentiments of bis heart in these outrageous nlterances, and we are equally persuaded that the virln- ons, enlightened, moral portion of his party, as well as of his church, cannot endorse his apology for 60 black a catalogue of crimes. True as our neighbor says olher men have erred, other men have been guilty of crime, other men have fallen victims to their own I usts. But does that palliate' the enormity of John ; Hippie Mitchell's crimes? Because the world is full of crime is that a reason why we of Ore gon shonld elevate to trust and honor the chiefest of criminals? If the per petrator of those grave offenses of which Senator Mitchell has; ' been gnilty is to go unpunished yea, even lionized by his blind followers, are we not offering a premium for crime? Mitchell the debauchee, the seducer, the adulterer and the bigamist fin thoUnited States Senate is presumed to reflect the moral standard of his constituency, especially so if that con stituency, not only apologize for his crimes but honor those crimes in re taining him in office. ,,, t; . , ; . . Can the people of Oregon afford to bo thus misrepresented in the person and character of John H.' Mitchell? Can they afford to endorse his crimes by retaining him jn the distinguished position which he now occupies? Can the .Methodist ' Church of Oregon of' which our Reverend neighbor, is an ordained mouth-piece afford . to uphold .this man Mitchell in bis great offenses against Christianity, and thus place itself upon the record as the defender of those crimes which the Bible so plainly interdicts? .Can jtho Republican party of Oregon ' afford to hold up the, hands of this moral leper and parade him to the world as an embodiment of the virlne,, the purity and the : moral excellencies of ; that party? Dare they go before the peo ple next year and . ask them for an endorsement of John Hippie Mitchell and his infamous career? The rett cence of "the , wiser journal's of the party indicates' that they cannot,. af ford to stand by ; Mitchell, while the Register with less judgements if not less self-respecf gi'es - proof that at least a class of partisans will ' contin ue to honor him, no matter how black his crltnei."''; 'i..W; ':'rV " The Republican', party is tlie party of progress.

It is stated that tho estate of the late Chief Justice Chase is not worth more than $200,000, probably a good deal less. ' He was worth fully that amount when he took charge of the Treasury Department under Mr. Lincoln, and in this day of official greed, it is worthy of note that,' although' during the Organization of national banks and the issuing of millions ot greenbacks, he could have easily secured for him self the largest personal fortune in the United States, he nevertheless, retired from thn Cabinet no richer than when he entered it. But a reputation so nnsnllied is of more value " co his family and his country than all the greenbacks and bonds issued under his direction, and all the gold in Cali fornia. There are few reputations like it in the public service, and mores the pity. . ,.',;' Wars of ma Beasts or Pret. The Radical party is most naturally much troubled by the discord that takes place in its own ranks in the wrangling over spoils which are ac quired by fraud and outrage. ' Noth ing could be more natural. The sor did motives of the carpet-baggers and the scalawags who marshal the ne groes in their war for pillage and booty inevitably fill their minds with violent and lawks dispositions. Like beasts of prey, 'when they have by a combined attack run down their prey, they immediately fall to fight ing over it with a ferocity more keen than that of their attack npon tho i game. In Every Southern State this bitter family war has burst out with violence proportioned to tho strength of the parties and the amount of booty to be shared anion;; them."
