-1 FATAL PRE CEDENT.
X special session of congress meets
toda' at noon. The eyes of all Ore-
gonians are centered upon "Washing
ton, not so much on account of such
legislation as may ho enacted, but
with a deep interest in the action of
the senate in the matter of the Beat
ing of Henry "W. Corbett as senator
frOm this state.
The dispatches indicate that he, as
well as that Kentucky appointee, will
not be seated. That the senate will
hold that the refusal of the logUla
ture to organize for the purpose of
avoiding the election of a senator,
will be held the same as if it had or
"anized and refused to elect. This
Is the only safe course open to it.
Any other means anarchy, pure and
simple. The establishing ot the
precedent that a legislature refusing
to organize permits the governor to
appoint a senator to All the vacancy
would be a fatal blow at our political
fabric. It would be an assertion
that the minority, and not the major
ity, should rule. It would make it
possible for eleven men in the state
senate of this state, at any session, to
prevent the organization of the sen
ate, to take the election of a senator
away from the legislature, to which
the constitution has given it, and
place the power in the hands of the
governor. "When this is done, the
gates are open, and who is there
shall sa3 where the end shall be ?
Much as the party needs the sena
tor from Oregon; much as Oregon
needs her full representation in con
gress, she had better be deprived of
both senators than that this attack
upon our institutions should succeed.
"We are not dealing in the mica
splitting technicalities of the law
"that doth distinguish and divide, a
hair twixt south and southwest side;"
but with the solid material facts of
the situation. Neither do we deal
with Mr. Corbett's fitness for the
place, !No matter how able he may
be ; no matter how valuable his ser
Tiees may be, he comes too high at
the price of a violated constitution,
an overthrowing of the principle that
the majority rules, and the usurpa
tion of legislative powers by the ex.
ecutive.
Should Mr. Corbett, or any other
senator appointed as he was, be
seated, a blow will have been struck
at our political fabric that will cause
it to totter. If Mr. Corbett were
not moved by motives of self-aggrandizement,
he would know this,
and if he had a spark of patriotism,
would refuse to aid in the nefarious
plan to overthrow the principles that
underlie our Republican form of gov-
eminent.
Asa Fisk, San Francisco's noted
Shylock, is dead. lie lived to n ripe
old age, dyin' full of years, possessed
of great wealth, and without a friend.
Money was his god, and death took !
him from it. His heart was closed
to ever' generous impulse, his hand
locked against every plea of charity.
Possessed of inordinate greed, his
sole pleasure consisted in grasping.
The pounds of llesh hacked from the
bosoms of his fcllowmen, were sweet
morsels to his lips. His insatiate
greed is ended, his worthless carcass
carted off to rot in the graveyard,
where even a self-respecting worm
will hesitate long before tackling so
unpalatable a feast.
Saturday we published in our edi
torial columns, an article taken from
the Nation, a paper published at
Washington, which was claimed to
be Vice-President Hobait's address
to the senate on taking his seat ns its
presiding officer. We regret exceed
ingly to say that the language wns not
bis, and he did not say anything of
the kind. That is whore he missed
the opportunity of his life, for while
he did not say the things credited to
him, he should have done so, for they
are words of wisdom and gems uf
truth.
Durand, he of organ fame in Port
land a few years ago, has been ar
rested and brought back to Oregon
for trial on charges of forgery. lie
stoutlv denies having forged any of
the notes which passed through his
hands, and insists that they wore
made by the parties by whom they
are purported to have been made,
and asserts that lie has been charged
with forgery b them in order to
eleir themselves of any liability on
the notes. His trial promises to
throw considerable light on a very
mvsterious matter.
Tirave little Greece that dares tell
the murderous Turk that hi brutali
ties must cease, and who, if let alone
would put a stop to the murder Cf
people charged with no more serious
crime than that of being Christian,
will undoubtedly have to succumb
to the pressure brought to bear upon
her. It is a picture that may well
arouse the wonder of the civilized
world, that of the crowned heads of
Europe, standing by the degenerate
Turk, and becoming accomplices in
his blood massacres.
