A Rkitbmcan.
Is It possible that Mr. Corbett did not
know that the edilor ot the Oregonian
was receiving money for assisting in the
G rover-Cron in steal? If he did not know
it at the time the money was paid he
knows it now, ana still the same
editor is at work, and it '
said and believed, by nearly all
toe community that his wages has
lately been raised on account of the man
ner in which he villifles distinguished Re
publicans, who do not tall down and wor
ship him. Is it so that Mr. Corbett has
remonstrated with that $3,000 editor, and
done all in his power to restrain him
from making those spiteful attacks upon
prominent Republicans ? That story will
tiot hold water; it Mr. Corbett desired Mr.
Hill to stop that shameful proceeding he
would have demanded it, arid it the thing
was repeated he would have inform d that
$3,000 editor and attorney tli&t his servi
ces were no longer required in the Orego
nian oflice. It is time that Mr. Corbett '
friends are seeking to apologize for him,
bat they must tlx up a better yarn than
the above before Republicans will, for a
single moment, believe that his motives
are any better than those of his employe.

WHERE THE PAKT1S.UKH1P LI IS.
From the first the Democrats have ac
cused the majority of tlie Electoral Com
mission of partisanship, but the action of
tlie tribunal upon the Oregou case conclu
sively demonstrates that the partisanship
is upon tlie other side. The vote upon the
resection ot Crooin'g Tote was, it is true,
unanimous ; but this was not a party test,
inasmuch as the rejection f Crouin
by no means necessitated the admission ot
Watts, and inasmuch as all the Democrats
actually did vote subsequently against ad
mitting Watts. It is in this last vote that
tlie proof of Democratic partisanship con
sists. The attempt to give an Kiectoral
vote to Cronii: was so naked and shame
less a fraud that defense of it was impossi
ble. Rut when the question was of rob
bing Oregon af one ot her Electoral votes
altogether, the consciousness that this
would elect Tilden evidently overcame the
impartiality of tlie minority, and they vot
ed in favor of the proposition. There bas
never been any doubt that Oregon voted
for the Republican candidates, and there is
very little room for doubt as to the final
eligibility of Watts. But bere we find the
seven Democratic members voted solidly,
as before, to cheat Oregon out of one of
lier votes, and thus giving their sanction,
by implication, to the entire series of
frauds which culminated iu tlie attempt

INAUGURATED MARCUS 1877.
"Ami the Star Spangled lianucr,
Iu triumph shall wave."
"LET US HAVE PEACE."
The Oregonian undertakes to defend Its
personal attacks on Senator Mitchell by
declaring his private clmracter to be puhli
propirty. The statements that ho has
been engaged in financial "jobs" while in
the Senate, are so thin that the cursory
reader will detect the fallacy. The great
statesmen ot the nation, of all parties, are
selected to represent the people of the sev
eral .states in both Houses of Congress
and as such are expected to detend the peo
ple against frauds and encroachments by
corporations, on the rights of tho people.
Ihe-e mer, numbering hundreds, are now
ngaged on the work of inquiry, and in
the taee ot their labors the puerile Ore
gonian decides all the Important part ef
tne work. I he decision so rashly reached
y our neighbor it isevident, is not for the
purpose of protecting the people, or can
didly arguing questions ot law, but a pre
text for stabbing a live and honest Senator
who is doing something for Oregon, despite
the efforts of tlie "Hardware Reporter,"
which Is tlie other name of IheJOregonian.
The Statesman dees not propose to de
fend Senator Mitchell, when he takes a
step In tlie wrong direction, hut in no case
to allow unwarranted attacks to go un
noticed. If the Senator Is guilty of crime,
o le of the law firm of the Oregonian can
certainly take the time to pursue, prose
cute and see him punished, but if
not why pursue him with unfound
ed charges, only to secure re
venge because ot the defeat ot the present
actual owner of the Orgonian. for the
place which Mr. Mitchell s creditably
tills ? "Let us have peace."
It has been charged that the Oregoniai
and the law firm which controls it, receiv
ed a large sum of money for aiding in the
Grover-lionin attempt to steal the tlecto-
ril rote of Oregon. Will the "law firm"
and the corps of editors inform the readers

TI'RKEY AT BAV.
After all the grcnt preparations which
Russia has been ma king as if for a certain
and determined war upon Turkey, the
mobilization of hundreds of thousands ol
troops. My an exchange, the contrac
made abroad as well as at home for nfles,
ammunition, bayonets and cannon, the al
teration of tie Roumanian railroads to
conform to those ot Russia for expediting
tho transfer of munitions of war and
troops, there pears some chance thai
Russia will wait tor ttirther developments
ot action on the part ol Turkey under her
new Constitution, new Minister and new
Sultan. Russia does not appear anxious
to attack Turkey unless supported by the
omer iMiropean powers which joined her
In giving good advice to tho Turkish Gov
ernment, which the latter did not receive
with any particular favor; and In urging
particular reforms which Turkey would
not agree to simply because her rulers con
sidered that accepting them would appear
us It done under menace. But when the
Council adjournel, the Porte give notice
that she would do ot her own volition
what she had declined to do at the sugges
tion of the Council. Whether she had
commenced doing so the world has no'
been informed. She has previously prom
ised liberal reforms, but has usually, II
not always, failed in tho performance.
She may do so now, especially If It be
true, as reported, that the Sultan is j
anxious, if possible, to overthrow the Con
stitution, which isan instrument 'ishioncd
and formed under the great pressure of
European opinion, mid was intended to
take the underpinning from beneath the
f'ct of complaining ambassador? and their
nations.
Russia hud the other irit'tnos that
iolned her hi sending envoys to Constanti
nople to urge reforms upon the Porte, mi

effecting what they had recommended. So
far as appears. Turkey, by declining toac-
cept and act upon the auvil of the allied
Powers, lost the alliance oflireat Britain,
which nation has many years been con
sidered Turkey's fast trlend, and left all
the Six Powers free from any obligations

It is always better to paw a dozen in
truded insults than to take offense at a j
-single unintentional neglect or reflection.
Misunderstandings are fruitful of more
unkindly feelings in society than ever re--suit
trom deliberate ill-nature. Hundreds
.f friendships have been sundered by that
.egotistical sensitiveness which U ever look
ing for offense. We all point to certain
persons who are thus morbidly sensitive
to a painful degree. Tliey are disagreea
ble companion . We need not spend our
jrreclotis time iu pointing to them, how
ever. We have each Hniiethiug to guard
in our own character. We are each iu--cluied
to take offense too easily. If we
ould remote this everjeafous watchful
Mess, society would gain a new charm, or
rather it wsuld be relieved of a very disa
greeable feature. Piss neglect, then, and
personal reflections a gracefully as )Ssi

offended when no often1 U intended.

MITE M'HOUL.
Yesterday we had the pleasure ot visit in"
the Mute School in charge of Mr. and Mrs.
Frank Cooper, and under tlie tutorship of
JUev. K. B. Knight and his accomplished
wtte. W e were surprised to note tlie won
derous strides in which the pupils bave
advanced since we last visited tlie school
air. k.nlghc and his wife are especially
fitted for that position.
They are taking special pains to advance
their scholars, teaching two hours, each
day, longer than the law requires. Th!s
school Ls managed with such perfect sys
tem that not a jar can be noticed.
The mauner iu which Mrs. Knight gives
exercises -on the block board is truly won
derful and oinnot be too highly compli
mented.
Every department of the house, which i
under tlie supervision of Mrs. Cooper, is
in a cleanly and perfect condition,
and from tlie display ol pies and
cakes and substantial of nearly
i every description, we are lead to believe
that the pupils arc not only well cared for
in tlie school room, but receive the best
possible treatment in the way of eating
and sleeping.
Alter having visited the school and wit
nessed tlie different, exercises and after
having seen the happy taws of the pupils
we have come to the conclusion that they
are the happiest people on earth.

Ol all crimes, slander is one of the
most reprehensible. The thief may rob us

us ot that, which to us. is ot inestimable
value, for who cau calculate the conse
quences ol a calumnious misrepresenta

explain it, or annihilate it, it remains nn-

brother has been turned against brother,
father against son, and the husband and

bondage of heaven's own love, have be
