A Washington despatch says that the ap-

session when it comes up on Monday.
There is great satisfaction in realizing that
the country is about to lose the services of two
such valuable public servants as Yates and
Salisbury. A Washington despatch says
Senator Salisbury started on another RAM
page in the Senate Wednesday. He was in
about the same oblivious condition as Mon
day, and his scarcely coherent remarks were
full OF bitterness and personalities. He had

friend or foe could get him to yield it,"

THE REPEAL OF TIE TEST OAru-A
Washington despatch says that the effect Of
the repeal OF the test oath will be "to enfran.
chise about seven tenths of the present dis
franchised class in the South; will allow Sen
ator elect Miller of Georgia to take his seat
and admit two members elected from other
States to The next Congress-" So far as en-
Reimbursement is concerned this must be a
mistake. The only effect OF tie test oath was
to exclude from office those who participated
in the rebellion. However, it must rank very
high as measure of amnesty, leaving only
those who are affected by the fourteenth
amendment now excluded from Office.

Dea,h Of Nn,hansc, Mitchell.

The Boston papers of yesterday chronicle the
death in that city of Nathaniel Mitchell, at
the age of 81 years. We presume, from the
fact that he has been unwell for some time
past, that it is Nathaniel Mitchell, Esq,
formerly of this city, aud who, white he resided
here, was one of our prominent men. He COM
menced business here as grocer, on Middle
street, and Seth Paine, Esq, Treasurer of
Bangor, was clerk with him. Afterward he
changed into the hardware business in which
he continued until he sold ont to Henry God
gard, Esq. He removed to Boston in 1916,
where he established himself, with his sons, in
the same business on Kilby street.
In public affairs Mr.. Mitchell was quite a
prominent man here, having filed the Office of
Selectman for some years. He was also rep
reseptative from this city to the Legislature of
1881, the last session that was held in Portland
His associates from this city were Hon. Mark
Harris and Hon. f. o. J. Smith. He was the
first Chief Engineer of the Fire Department
appointed in Portland after it had assumed a
city charter. This office he held for several
years and was succeeded by Gen. Neal Dow.
In 1929 Mr.. Mitchell was appointed postmas-
ter of Portland, but, through the influence of
Hon. F. o. J. Smith in 1884, who was then in
Congress, he was removed. In 1889 Mr..
Mitchell, upon defalcation of the postmaster,
was again appointed to the Office, and held it
until the advent of Gen. Harrison, when he
was again removed. Subsequently he came
very near, under Tyler, of tipping out the new
postmaster, but lost the chance, by the refusal
Of the Senate to confirm his friend, Hon. Da-
vid Henshaw of Boston, as Secretary of the
Treasury.
Mr. Mitchell was member of the Mechan-
les Association in this city, and for three years
was President of the Association. He was &C
tive in the establishment of the Library for ap-
prentices and was one of the most valued mem
bers OF the association.
At meeting of the Association, held last
evening, it was unanimously voted that COM
mittee of three be appointed to attend the
funeral of Mr.. Mitchell when it shall take
place.
