CM Site gatta gtftoran. ASTORIA. OREGON: Fill DAY. -NOVEMBER 'JO, 18S5 THE FORTY-NINTH CONGRESS. Ox Monday, December 7th, be gins the first session of the XLTX congress of the United States. The election of John H. Mitchell from this state, makes the political complexion of the senate 41 Re publicans and 35 Demecrats: a Republican majority of six in the senate. In the house there will be 140 Republicans, (last session, 119,) 182 Democrats, (last session, 200,) 1 greenbacker, 1 fusionist, andl vacancy. The Democrats hare a large working majority in the house, and will be likely to keep it during this administra tion. The Republicans have a small working majority in the senate and' are likely to lose it, ex cept by good luck. Mahone, of Virginia, will be succeeded by a Democrat, which will make but four Republican majerity: Haw ley, of Connecticut is likely to be succeeded by a Democrat, which would make but two majority, and in a body composed of a good many old men, of membeYs many of whom hail from states governed by Democratic executives, it would appear as though Republi can supremacy in the senate in the second session of the coming congress, were a matter of con siderable uncertainty: For the first time in twenty-five years congress will listen to a message from a Democratic pres ident. Should his third message in 1887 be read to a congress composed of a majority of mem bers of his own political belief, the occasion would illustrate the completion of a political revolution unparalleled in history. , m Mr. Sparks, commissioner of the general land office, has recently received reports from special agents whioh convince him that five-sixths of the homestead entries in Dakota and throughout that re gion are fraudulent. He has re ceived the advertisements of land agents who offer to obtain land for ex-Union soldiers or sailors, with out the necessity of residing upon the land, which the law requires, and Mr. Sparks has been provided with copies of railroad tickets to whioh certificates of homestead en- ', tries, under the timber culture act, are attached as gratuitous coupons to the purchasers of the railroad tickets. Mr. Sparks says that while in individual instances the result of his action may cause hardship, he shall decline to certi fy the vast mass of pending ap plications for patents to the presi dent for signature until he is con vinced that the entries are not of & fraudulent character, and that he will ask congress for force enough to make these investiara tions speedily. There are plenty of intelligent women in this state who under stand tue principles ot good gov ernment and the necessity of offi cial rectitude and executive ability sufficiently to kniv uhich candi date they prefer, mid to vote intel ligently, and we would nor. object to have them try the '.periment of taking a part in an election. We believe the state might fall into worse hands than women voters. The assertion that ignor ant women would vote amounts to little. So do ignorant men; and moreover, few except intelligent women would attempt it, in the present condition of things. Ig norant women will hesitate be cause they are ignorant; and weak women are indifferent. It is only thinking women who have a clear idea of the issues, and feel suffi cient interest in them to form an .opinion. God moves in a mysterious way his wonders to perform. "Who would have thought the Orego nian would be the means of elect ing Mitchell! Oue compliments John H. Mitchell. to Senator A LOUD CALL TO THE OREGONIAN. Fifty-five votes for John H. Mitchell. A DANIEL COME TO JUDGEMENT. If this is a libel and you can make it so appear, you will be elected by acclamation, and the Oregonian will be discredited, dis graced, ruined. You will rise at once, and justly, to the very sum mit of public esteem, and they whom you call your "enemies" will trouble you no more forever. Or egonian 16. Last January The Astorian took the stand that as Hon. Sol. Hirsch had a majority of Repub lican votes, that was equivalent to a caucus nomination, and for that reason he should be elected. Last "Wednesday that gentleman, who is a thorough Republican and an experienced politician, took pre cisely the same ground. When he found that Mitchell had 28 votes, a majority of the 52 Repub lican legislators, he changed his vote to Mitchell, saying that he felt it his duty to do himself what he had claimed to be the duty of others in a similar situation. And in this he was correct. Leaving everything else out of the question, the moment that Mitchell got 28 votes, a majority of the Republican vote, an election was his due and he only got jnst what he was entitled to. The Republicans who voted for Mitchell just equaled in number the entire number of Democrats in the legislature. Some things well as others. can be done as He laughs best who laughs last. NEW TO-DAY.
