tflE OREGON ELECTfOlV,
John H. Mitchell, after some year?
fetidence it otfr neighboring State of
regoo, wncfe he followed his
profession' of fie law honorably, was
elected to the Senate of the United
Statet. It Wis 'charged that his success
ta politics ass attribtrtaMe fo- the fact
fhat he had aeteJ as the attorney of
lien Hoflarfay in hh railroad schemes
and Jrdf the friendshrp of this
railroad fettblate. We can scarcely call
Hollf6?af a railroad king. His schemes
tre not tttt enough, nor his rocket
deep enotogh, nor his success in railroad
building sufficiently marked to invest
him with the royal title. He is a
fcort of a satrffp ot provincial magnate,
undoubtedly the Biggest toad in his
focal puddle; but (hen the ptxddle is
a small one. After Mr. Mitchell's
election it Was ascertained thtt he was
not Mr, Mhchetlj out Mr. Hippie ,
that he hfld chatfged his flarfle, tlat he
bad fled his native tale;tfiat hehadde
c rt cd hia Wife aftd abandoned his chil
dren, and that his dealings with former
clients were open to severe criticism.
Tba people of Oregon, with their
Old fashioned notions of morality, felt
ftomewhat scandalized, and wondered
hot that Mr. Hippie should have done
such things but that, having done
tileffl; he should hate dared the ascci t
to the hight of such dazjfling political
Honors, when exposure Was so sure to
follow. Mr. Hippel procured his name
to be changed to Mitchell, and, when
tUt Republican Contention assembled,
ema posed ia great part of Federal
(Set holders, he caused himself to be
tadened. He Was indorsed, fory-five
persons voting for him, and twenty
seven voting against him, and then the
Convention procCeeOfed to put in nomi
nation a candidate for Congress We
presume1 the Congressional candidate,
tending upon the Ilipple-Mitceli
platform, did not indorse the Hippie
history, and, in event of his election, did
hot pledge himself to run aWay from
Oregon, to desert his wife and leave
Ilia children ; bat the good
people of Oregou, With their old fash
ioned notions of morality, got confused
and declined to vote for the Hippie
Mitchell Republican candidate, and
sent tho Democratic Nesmith to Wash
tfigtoir. W5 do not exactly uudcre tano
Whether Nesmith's election it claimed
(U a political or social triumph. Tin

PROCLAMATION OP THANKSGIV
ING. By the Praident of the United
States of America. The approaching
cloea of another year briuga with it
the occasion for renewed thanksgiving
ami acknowledgement to the Almighty
Roler of the Universe for the
ujnumlered mercies' which be has
bestowed upon us. Abundant harvest.
have been among the revarda of
industry. With local exceptions, health
has been among the blessing enjoyed.
Tranquility at home and peace wrlh
other nations have prevailed. Frugal
industry is regaining its merited
recognition and its merited rewaids.
Gradually, but, under the providence
of God, surely as we trust, the Nation
is recovering frim the lingering, results
of the dreadful civil strife. For these
and all other mercies vouchsafed, it
beeomes ns as a people to return
heartfelt and grateful acknowledgement
and with out tfrauksgiving we nny
unite in piayers for the cessation of
local and temporary suffering. I
therefore recommend that on Thursdavr
the 27th day of November next, the
people meet ia their respective p'acos
of worship to make their acknowledge
ments to Almighty Crod for His bounties
and His protection, and to offer to Him
prayers for their continuance.
In witness whereof I have hereunto
set my hand and caused the seal of the
United States to be affixed.
Pone at at the City of Washington
this ilth day of October, in the year
of our Lord oe thousand etuht
hnndred and seventy three, and of the
Independence of tho United States I
the nicely seventh.

KAIIAVAY ACC'IDKNTM IN tNC
LAM)AM)Ali:iUCA. The recklessoess of American rail
way officials was once proverbal. if it is
not now ; but the English railway are
bearing off the palm in the nnmbcr of
accidents and in the number of lives
destroyed. A cable- dispatch of the
30th of September says : ''There
were a" number' of accidents on the
Birtish railways to day, and several
persons Were killod and injured. The
most serious accident was to the Scotch
express train A dispatch of a few
days previous enumerated eight or ten
accident, with a loss of several lives.
But the reports for a year show a great
preponderance in the small islands of
Britain.
A I'drltameotary refurp issued to
the British Board of Trade gives the
statistics of railway disasters for 1872
in the United Kindom. The return is
the first which has been prepared for
an entire period of twelve months
under the Regulation of Railways Act,
1871. The total numher of persons
killed during the year, according to
this return, was 1,145 ano! 3,038 were
injured. The Total number of pas
engers killed was 12724 from causes
beyond their own control, and 103
from their own misconduct or want of
caution. The Total number of passen
gers injured was I,4d2, of whom 1,247
received their injuries from causes
beyond their own control, and 215
Irom tbeir owh misconduct or want ol
crutioo. Tho number of railway
servants returnjd as killed under
the former head is Gl, and
under the latter 5G8 ', tho lrijnrcd in
these two classes are 876 aod 1,010
respectively. Seventy persons were
killed and 53 injured while passing
over railways at level crossings. Un
der the head of trespassers and suicides,
258 arc reported as killed and 107
injured j and miscellaneous, not inclu-
i ding any of the preceding classes, 380
killed and 181 injured. A list is also
given of tho number of accidents
unattended with loss of life or personal
rnjuTy. It extends over thirty two
pages of the Blue Book, but no summa
ry is appended. It arpeara from one
of the tables in the book that tho total
number of passengers killed on railways
from causes beyond their own control
from 18G2 to 1872 was. 271. Ir an
introductory noto it was stated that
these returns are made by the compa
nies themselves, and tho great.
discrepancies between the number of
accidents returned by the various
cdmpanies leads to a doubt whether
they all make he return with equal
care and ccmplctcnees. .
Tho Railroad Gazette of, this "city
publishes a tabulated exhibit of "acci
dents in this country for the year
beginning with September 1, 1872, and
ending August 1, 1873. For the
