Mitchell, meet with our most emphatic condemnation, and, in common with all good men we demund his reslgnntltm or his expul sion from the United (Mates Senate. TnB UKl'tlll.K'AN NOMINKK. .. Itirara Smith, who was Inst Friday eclcoted as the Republican nominee for Congress, because no one else wonia nave it, is a citizen ot Harris burg, hi this county, where lie has lived for many years, and, where ho has amassed considerable wealth in merchandizing and "dickering"among his neighbors. . He owns a halt inter est in two stores one at llarrisbnrg, the other at Junction. He is post master at Ilam'sburg and his partner is postmaster at Junction. .He owns three or four farms near Harrisburg which ho has sooured by foreclosing mortgages for debts contracted in his stores by the proprietors ot the afore-1 said farms. He is known among his neighbors ns a shrewd, cunning, skinJ huh trador, as moroiless in his bar gains as he is mercenary in his nature. . Shortly after Holladay's arrival in Oregon, he "struck" Hiram, and read ily discerning his elasticity of prin ciple as well as his inordinate vanity, lie immediately "took him in." and has . been using him ever sinoe, , Hiram ' has been lending bimBelf to all of Hol laday's schemes with a rcadineBt wor thy of a better cause, and has proven his dovotion in so thorough a manner that Holladay could have no foars of Ins defection if he were sent to Con gress. , (Which the same he will come Within fivo or six thousand votos of!) ' It is asserted by some of Smith's admirors that he possesses 1 "horse sense.'' The strongest refutation of this assertion is furnished by the fact Wat he accepted the, nomination at the hands'of that hoodlum convon - lion, and upon the polygamy endorse ment resolution, after it had boon In dignantly spurned by tho brain and intelligence of the KopHbliean party. . lion who claim that ho has siifb'ciont ability for oven an Bvorngo Radical Congressman are themselves either too ignorant to noticoor too insincere to believe. They are perhaps tho only persons in tho world ovor whom even Hi. Smith'a sense and honosty oould possibly claim superiority.1 "' THE ftUKSltOBt HEIN0 SOLVED.' " The great State election of Califor nia, which transpired last we'ekfcncl the signal and overwhelming defeat of the giant railroad monopoly which has heretofore held futlest sway over the purse of the people of that State, baa developed the fact that these giant and soulless corporations are losing their power over the public, and will shortly lo taught that their place is under, rather than above the people. It carl be no longer denied that this is surmounting all others in the jpiiblio mind) and one which is forcing itself Upon lcgislatures.'courts, and the people m all, sections of the country. The theory of those corpo rations is that they are publio corpo rations, like highways or perhaps rath er, turnpikes; and existing previously for the use, , benefit, and convenience of the whole people, without favorit ism or partiality.' Upon this' theory alone could or can the extraordinary powers anij privileges conferred, upon them be justified for one moment.- The constitutions' of nearly or quite all the States provide in direct 'terms, mat private property may bo taken for publio uses, and ; for no other, Under this grant limitation, it has al ways been held that the public) that is, the whole people, had rights which wore paramount to those of any indi vidual, They might, therefore, build publio highways wherever the public good ot- the public safety required such highways, for the equal and com- mon use of all citizens alike. . i. .. Din no government, no Htate, no legislature, nor any other tribunal has the right, anywhere within the limits of the United Status, to take or use, or authorizo any corporation to tako or nsfj'tho property 'of. the humblest citizen, for, any private use or interest whatever. gubjeot lo ,the public needs and safety, 'every' rcan'is a sov- engn on his' own land, and' his house is castlo whiol) ho may defend lo the doath, against whoever would invade or violate its sanctity. Railroads having everywhere boeh placed upon the same fooling as high ways,' in regard "to taking private property tor their uses, are either pub lio corporations created and existing ror the equal, indefeasible and para niount use of the, wholo people, or they are unlawful .usurpations and nuisances,: with no right to exist at all. 11 ,( 1 -!," ' II' J Viu ' ' , . v:lf M:,l ' Here is the coiutitntonattini legal theory of railroads which cannot be successfully gninsayed. i Is it the prac. tical theory, accepted and acted upon Dy me managers of railroads genor. olt.,9 ' 6,. f...

MOT TUB ONLY ONE, '" I ; The Oregonian of Inst Monday, in naming ovor tho delegates who voted for the Hippie white-washing resolu tion, says ! " !: i J. M. Shelly, the only man of Linn county vthose garments hnro any of me stain oi tins mtamy upon thonij is tho business partner of Jlinim not John Hiram, but Hiram the nominoe for Congress and we don't blnmo him particularly for voting for this resolution, inasmuch as it was well understood that if the resolution passed no man but Hi. Smith, would consent to -run, and of course Mr. Shelly would bco in the pansago of the resolution a "dead thing" for Hi. (It will be doudor still on the I3th of Oct ober noxt),, ,., i i .', ..... Si. , t . Whilo we endorse everything said in the abovo in relation to Hiram Smith's partnor, Shelly, we oannot lot another's chances for famo so easily I elip away. S. II. Clanghton, Esq., postrnastor at Lebanon, in this county, held the proxy of nu houest furmer, Ufr. AroKnurtlt in I link flnnuaiilinn and disgraced himself and outraged his principal by voting for that resolu tion. We can well bellovo that Mr. McKnight was Indignant at tho foul - use which was made of bis vote in that Convention, and that he holds in utter execration tho conduct of hie ngont and attornoy, who thus misrep resented him. .,,' ,. , . ' THIt IIACK.HAI.AItr MN ATCH. " . The ineffable cheek ot the Kadicale as last wcok tully excmplilied in the platform adopted n this city, wherein they lauded to the skies tho "honesty, purity and economy" ot Giant's ad ministration, and then severely de nounced the back salary sleal, by which Grant was enabled to gobble up f 100,000 of tho people's money, In striking contrast to this is the Democratic platform : wherciiv Jlemo oralt and Jirpublicam are alike con demned for being parties to tho steal. Grant received ten times as much ot tho pelf as any one else,, hence ho should be ten times ns tevorely de nounced and execrated by all honest men. ' '' ' ''''' Jim are li ooly offered, that Hiram nipple Smith will, not carry half of the Ikcpublican votes of Linn county. JXo decent man can vote for him on that polygamous platform. Tho peo ple owe it to themselves and tho fair fame of .Oregon to. vote Ujjuiust the Hippie candidate and bury him. so deep beneath his big.imotis-poljga-inous platform tliat he and his Ieclier ous master will never again be heard iioni- . . .,.- ally? ' So fa wp express the matured vordiot of the country; when we say that; as la rule, no class' of corporations has been rriah aged with tnore reckless disregard of mo. wishes and inlorosta, of the peo pie, or more in subservience to the in torosts and amhilioriB of the managers, In many ot the : States, the have ar rogated to themselves litto less than sovereign, authority vw'rtiie people,' corrupting,-: suborning 'and'- owning governors, legislators and courts-, as absolutely as though thoy were tio orcaio'rs, instead ot being thp creatures ot tlie Government,! 13ut whilo this is hlarinincly true of the spirit and ' : tendency of rAilro: management in California, 'whore the system has, blossomed into the fullest fruition, other groat States .of the Union hnvo suffered oven hi greater degroe by this monstor blood-sucker. reunsjlvunin, thq grand , old Key stone State,' whose soil Is one great magazine 'of mineral "wealth, has al lowed itself to, ho bound j hand aud foot and, prostrnted like a helpless. giant under tho iron heel of its great Central' Kailroad monopoly.
