No, because the party there in pow

Democracy asd Radicalism.
The Democratic party reveres the
Constitution as the sole anchor of
popular liberty, and the. surest con
servator of ' public prosperity. The
Republican partyvon the other, hand,
ignores . the axioms established as
fundamental by the experience of the
past, and disposes ot all questions ac
cording to the. counsuls of ; its own
arbitrary will.; The moral ? ideas

week, the Register saul : ; ' '''
"Politically he is right; and in the

Oregon in the Senate, his influence
will be worth more to the Slate than

This admission i n. sad nommpntarv

politically with that majority, r is to
acknowledge that right and justice no
longer are recognized in those coun

partiscn shame. - : - ,
.1 - THE REGISTER TO THB RESCUE.
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

' SCOTLESS AM10 COURUITION'. 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

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."
Here is General Grant's speech at
Galena 111., in full: "Although it is
probable that I never will live among

tor, as I am at present, yet I hope to
spend some days with yon 'every year
and remain longer than I - have been
able this lime, and I expect to casj
my vote here always. I repeat my
thanks for this cordial reception.'
Disrespectful newspapers in the West
are inquiring whether there is any
provision of the Constitution which
gives the President, more 'lhan vany
other man, the right to vote where he
doesn't live. When a man gets car
ried away with his own eloquence it
is unjust to hold him, to the 'literal
meaning of his words. t ; ,
TaeIndianapolis Journal says . the
Democratic candidate or Mayor in
that city was chosen at the recent
election because not less- than 600
Pepublicans voted for him. It gives
many reasons for this defection, and
sums np ' with this piece ofadvice:
"Objectionable men must not be put
forward, however competent,, unless
defeat is desired," which means' that
the efficacy of the party whip Has de
parted, and (hat the old lines cannot
be kept from wavering eveu in the
home of Senator Morton. ..-All ot
