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.

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;

is just what is wanted, and we call upon
Senator Mitchell to stand to his guns,

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.

sentatives. The latter have a number
of friends here on the st iff and have
been won over to vote against reducing
their salary. They must take the res
ponsibility of refusing to do that
which Gen. Sherman said could prop
el ly bo done. Why tho southern' bor

receive a large share of tho army and
the fullest protection, while the north
western frontier are rendered defense
less by a reduction of the army, is
question the Democracy must answer.

The Senate has a perfect organizaiion,

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
