Newspaper Page TextSVC 3i)c (Enterprise, CPtEGON CUT, THURSDAY, SOV. I?, 1S77. The IlishrCourse. The editor of tlio Orajonlaa, in Ins r- ironic mood of differing yith Senator Mitchell in every undertaking tho Scu : lor projects for tho benefit of Oregon i.i the National Assembly, is busy ex --.ling his spleen because an effort is be- ag made by Senator Mitchejl to open .e countrv Ivinsc between The Dalles ' id Salt Lako to the civilizing iutla- Mces of a railroad. The bill introduced r that jurpose by Senator Mitchell , roposes to take tho land grant voted tho Northern Pacific railroad in aid i their projected, branch from YVallnla the Sound, -which thoy have practic i It abandoned, and' give much in :d of tho Portland, Dalles and South Pass Ii. IS. Co. It harms no one. It 'loes not trench on tho position assumed ty both parties in the east, in opposi Mon to further land grants, it simply ?3-k)cates an existing grant, which will -therwise lapse back into the national lomain again; and because the mag nates of tho N. P. II. R. Co. do not -want .ny rivals in the Cold of the vast empire f the Columoia rirer basin, wo hear ?.hia cringing: sycophant" and conscious :mppet declaiming against the efforts of Senator Mitchell, whoso bill would do noro good for Portland, and Oregon in general than tho N.P.R.Il project. There ia room for both'roads; from Umatilla the would diverge ia almost opposite directions, and both would open up an extensive area of cultivable lands now ;idle and desolate far want of transpor tation facilities. Tho advantages of quick c-onnection would Lo decidedly with the Portland, Dalles uud South Tass 11. 11., as they would have only some five 'hundred miles of road to construct to no in connection with the East, while !he N. P. 11. 11. will iiavo lo construct over twice as far from tho same initial nut (Uraa.Ula) . Wo call upon Senator Mitchell to persevere in his good work and disre gard the hounding of insignificant curs whose convictions r.nd principles ere f generally bought for a price. It ia a glorious tldng to have ono Representa tive whom the O. S. N. Co. cannot buy nor menace, and very fortunately he is in a position to thwart any designs of theso wonld-be monopolists unless they concede this favor to the people of Eastern Oregon. Wo call upon him to stick to his colors, and if tho N.P. Il.R. olordlings will not consent to tho re location of the lend grant in aid of tho P. D. & S. T. R. 11., then to withhold his vote and in II nonce for the extension f the land grant to them; as they will 2rovo their unfitness to receive any benefit as almoners from the hands of the Government, if they are twilling to lot a few of tho crumbs fall for the benefit of an empire of isolated country, which nothing but a land grant will -open up to speedy settlement through the instrumentality of a railroad. If tho game of Scott's masters is rule or :rnin, we think the good sense of the people of Oregon will sustain Senator Mitchell iu decreeing their ruin. lie has it in his power to exert an influence o for tho benefit cf Eastern Oregon which rarely falls to the lot of ono man, and "rather than let the cormorants of the O. S. N. and N. P. R. R. Cos. fasten their hold on tho Columbia river basin, as sole magnates, wo shall look for him to stand up inflexibly against them. Reggars must not become dictators,and Scott's crew, while they may exert enough iniluenco to control him, cannot buy Senator Mitchell, neither can the people of Portland Lo hood-winked with the fallacies of tho ex-Collector. Thoy .know well enough that the Senator is doing all in his power to build up tho metropolitan charorter of that city, and lio can in no better way conduco to it than in jwrsevering iu the measure ho has just introduced to wheih we have Jidverte!. Washington Territory sent a majority of asses to her Legislature, and, as a consequence, the bill to regulate freight on railroads was voted down. If there is ono honest paper in that Territory in tho interest of tho people, it should pillory every member who voted to kill tho bill, and see if they dont have more fccads 'to ilourish uronnd than the honest pay of legislators will warrant. Such a crying injustice as tho jieople of lhat Territory labor and groan under, in the unmerciful exactions of petty railroads, is enough to make a horse laugh when it is known that a ten line enactment by tho recent assembly would havo prevented it for all future time. The strong giant of tho body corporate was bound with tho withes of the mon opolists, through tho agency of the ser vants of tho people, and fo they will continue bound until they havo tho pcnse and de termination to send r.p nii..iittimo Y.uy wiii over mc oe hesls of the people rather than iket tho pay of the corporationisis. Oregon had such a Legislature in her last, n::d, as a coawqusnro, the looks were opened out to tho public in such a way that all the ingenuity of the mon opolists cannot devise a way to shot them up, and thereby J inaugurate inch a carnival of oppression as now exists in i a.-,, Jton Territory. TI:e Orpjoniau, in its subserviency to the domandu of tho N. P. 11. R. Co., forgets its patrons in Eastern Oregon, "who should reusut iis unseeminj? kind ness t0 tlitra. tmra c f tbeW. a. lire i-;.;;rt i i n g t on Te r r i t o 1 y y limitation l;-st j'rhh-. Justice (o ISrave Officers and 3Icn There is always a class of people who imagine they can do this or that thing better than any ono else. This is the case with those who have been abusing Gen. Howard's management cf the campaign against the Nez Perces From tho moment the war brckeout these fault-finders doubted his ability as an Indian fighter, and did all they could to throw discredit on his manage o! the campaign. Evou since its suc cessful close, they are continually abus ing him. But true merit in a man can not bo long hid from the public, and when it is known, tho masses generally show their aprrecietion. This is the case with Gen. Howard, no was called into the field to subdue a tribe of In dians whvcli was't-rjual in the arts of war to tho troop3 which ho had under him, and much larger in "numbers, be sides being pefectly familiar with the country on which the battles uere to be fonght. He met the hostile forces, conquered them and arrived at home a victorious hero. The people of Portland, recognizing his able and efficient services, tendered him and his staff a befitting reception last Monday evening, which wai attend: cd by nearly the entire population of tho place. An appropriate reception speech was made, which was responded to i.u a moJlost and befitting manner by the General. The General and tho troops under his command have undergone a very severe and hard campaign. They havo been subject to hardships seldom equalled by the army, and the victory which they havo won, is one of the hardest and most stnbbcrnly contested on record. Tho first battle was fought in June, and the surrender was made" about the 7th of October. During that time several engagements were had, and the troops marched over1 f-eventeon hun dred miles. They had to travel over a vou'hand unsettled conn try. destitute of supplies, and communication, and they endured She deprivation ol food and rest iu order to punish the redskins-for their crimes. Manys time were the ad vance cavalry out of food and had to reaort to caling their broken-down horses. Wo have no inclination to follow tho hardships and trials of the brave officers and soldiers engaged in tins terrible struggle, but a grateful people should not fail to give credit and honor to those who have made so mary sacrifices. It shows a very con tenqtible spirit in any person to throw discrodit or detract from a just praise, and it it is especially unworthy of a brave people to censure any man for not accomplishing rao-e than human nature is capable of doing. Gen. How ard is not a pet of ours. But in this case he has rendered noble service, and we are ready to accord to him the praise and honor due a bravo and courageous officer. Tho best evidence that Gen. Howard is deserviug of thi3 public recognition of his services, is tho gen eral expression in his favor by the men who have been under his command, who are tho best judges as to his manage ment of the campaign. The petty jeal ousy and "'envy displayed by some of his superior officers cannot deprive him of he gratitude, of the people, and we, in common with the peopleof the north west, say that too much honor cannot bo given to the brave men who have avenged the bloody deeds of the savages. And now the terminal lambs won't lie down in peace any longer. Bro. Carter has gone and published a map of Ore gon in which Corvallis seems to cover twenty miles square. Portland is some what reduced from its present sizo, but Astoria is not mentioned at all, a little hole in the ground seeming to indicate where it once was. Ireland has called the common council together to resent the insult and will probably declare war, but preparations for deadly strife and the possibility of being suddenly transported from this world of sin does not prevent him from lying yet as he still declares that "Wheat afloat or on wharf in Astoria is worthas much as wheat afloat or oa wharf in San Fran cisco." Scott, who for tiie presenter presents, reflects the wishes of the Northern Pa cific Railroad Company, speciously ar gues that to vote tho lands granted to them ovcr their abandoned branch route from Wallula to the Sound to tho Port land Dalles and South Tass R. R. will cripple the building of the N. P. R. R. ; but the idiot can't make auy ono see why what is virtually abandoned al ready should be of such great pith and moment as to obstruct the building of the N. P. R. R. It is all clap trap; What is tho price paid for such drivel ? Senator Mitchell's bill to re-adjust tho laud grant voted to the N. P. R. 11.

Jpfc will, if cnaete.l y put two Richmond in the field to com pete for tho main lino from Umatilla to Portland, and so spur up a healthy rivalry as to who will build first. It is just what is wanted, and we call upon Senator Mitchell to stand to his guns, if the N. T. R. R. factotums can't stand that, let them gorge at a Barmecide feast on nothing. Portland will not be tu2?pcd for a million dollars of subsidy, with two railaoads striving for the hon or ef first entree. Three thousand dollars on hand for Ireland when he will make his lie good, ' that wheat a.'loat or on wharf iu Astoria ! s v.'orti: as mueu i eat aJi-,& or ri 1 The La'c Elections. The Democrats of Oregon are highly gratified over the result of the lato elec tions in the East. To them, any vic tory, imaginary though;it be, is a matter of congratulation. They aro not ussd to anything which partakes of the na- turo of a triumph. But what have they gained ? By a multitude of tickets be ing in the field in Ohio, they managed to get a plurality and elect their ticket. In New York, notwithstanding the bad feeling engendered by tho Conkling wing of tho party, the Republicans have carried the Legislature. In Penn sylvania, the treachery of the Simon Cameron clique g ivo the Democrats a triumph, which is more to the credit of the Republicans than it is to the Demo crats. No party can carry such dead weight as is embodied in tho clique headed by that treacherous old man, and President Haye3 raises higher m the estimation of all good men for hav ing gained h's disapprobation. A vic tory -won by the aid of such men is no honor to any party. The Republican party must get rid of all such. They are ft disgrace to tho party, and being no longer able to rule it, now teek its destruction. Nov Jersey has only given her usual Democratic majority, and that probably to a man who was the recipient of 'mere Republican voles than any other Demo crat could have obtained. In Connecti cut, a State which Gc Tilden carried by a very handsome m. rity, tho Re publicans carried the Leg lature by a very large majority. Mu-i.-achusetts also gave tho Republican carta '-late for Governor a large majority, and that against Gov. Ga ton, the most popular Democrat in the State. We see nothing particularly encour aging for tho Democrats in these re sults. A party which has bjen in pow er so long us the Republican l-irty has, has its soreheads and disappointed place hunters within its ' ranks, and when there is no particular issue of a National character, these malcontents generally show their t.ttcngth by cither not voting or going to tho enemy. Some would make it appear as though the Preside;:! "s policy was the cause of the reverses. TlnVis n.it so. In Ohio, Connecticut, New Jersey, Matsaehu sett.:, and all the other States, the Denv oerat? endorsed the President's South ern policy, while tho Republicans did likewise. The election were merely cf a local character, and as such where decided on local issues. If our Demo cratic friends find any consolation in this result, they are welcome to it. It has no political rv national importance whate-.er. With the exception cf a Senator gained in Ohio, tho Democrats have made no advance on thy inmate - raout of f ho (i?neral Government, and .- ii i . . . . wo can v. eu anoru 10 :ive tueiu tneir barren victory. When the actual cou tests come, the Republican party v.il be found united and purified by the re cent apparent defeats, and with an hon est Chief Executive to back the true Honuldic.m i i:i their lir'it v.-:M again march o:i t r future vio lory and triumph.

The bill provides that the road between Umatilla and Portland is to remain a common road for the use of both companies upon terms to bo fixed if necessary by The ar bitration of a commission to be ap pointed by the president of the United Stales. It is provided that the exten sions and privileges to be granted to the N. P.

The bill in other sections pro tects the rights of all persons who settle upon lanes within the railroad limits prior to the receipt oi withdrawal at the respective land offices. Telegraphic News.

Both houses adjourned yesterday until Monday. CONTESTED J-.LTJCTIOIJS. The contested election cases, which have largely occupied the time of Con gress thus far.have been referred to the commitles on privileges and elections, and when tho cases are reported from the committee the flood-gates of elo quence and argument, will bo opened wide out. The average congressman is right at home on a contested election case, and if ever there is an opportunity for him to endear himself to his con stituents it is when the broad field of politics presented in a ease of this kind opens. up to his on: up lured vision. The contested cases now before the two houses ef Congress aro very interesting, and we look for lively times over them. The case in the Senate is that of Wm. Pitt- Nellopfg, Republican, and Judge Spofforu, Democrat, from Louisiana, tho former holding his certificate of election from the Packard government, and the latter from the Nichoels regime.
