the expulsion of African members OF tn

mr.. Mitchell, President Of the Missis'
sippi River Railroad, as q Man.

With much pleasure we give place in
cur columns, to-day, to the card of Mr..
Mitchell, President of the Mississippi
River Railroad, in reply to the continued
attacks upon him in the columns of the
Sun Bat Mr.. Mitchell might as well
have spared himself the trouble of writ
log it. What might at first have seemed
to be legitimate criticism on the part Of
the Sun, has long since degenerated into
what is evidently the lowest exhibitions
of personal malice against that gentle
man.
We can verify every word of what Mr..
Mitchell says in regard to Dupre's recent
publications in the LFDdER, pronouneing
Mr.. Mitchell a gentleman whose moral
worth was unquestioned. Mr.. Mitchell
has done ethiug since that publication,
except to decline surrendering his road
to Dupre's friend. aud to devote himself
theoretically to its construction
The attempt to excite, at tbs late day,
political prejudice against Mr. Mitch
ell, for the purpose Of robbing him ofthe
fruits of his enterprise, is simply dis
graceful, and will react terribly on the
parties prompting it. Mr.. Mitchell, we
know, is UnioDist, undoubted and IN.

Tne Tcpure. of.ofncs Law.

Il i understood that the Judiciary
Committee of the Senate have finally
sgreed, after long elaboration, to sus'
mend the Teuure.of Office law Indefinite
", or until the next session of Congress.
II the action Of the Committee is agreed
to-and there is little doubt on the part OF
the seaate-.hen the House will scarcely
disagree, as the act for its repeal was
nassed so unanimously. We are bound
10 give the President credit for some
strategy in this matter, as he refused to
make any removals from Office until the
law was repealed or suspended. The
act of refusal, therefore, retained
the present incumbents IN othce, OF
whom great many were johnson men,
and warm supporters Of his administra-
ton. To get rid of these office-holders and
nut in place loyal Republicans the law
must be repealed or modified in some
shane. for Grant, it is said. has refused to
make any removals until. he is in some
way relieved from the operations OF the
law. And we are bound 10 support him
in the enforcement Of this law, which be
has sworn to do in taking the oath OF
office. The oct still stood upon the
statute book, and was part of the laws
10 be executed, and President Grant
could not, consistently with his duty. re-
move a man from Office who had not been
guilty of some crime. This, then, threw the
responsibility of retaining these Johnson
men in Office upon the Senate OF the
United States. And, in fact, the Senate
becomes responsible for the entire adj
miuistration of the Government, as it is
