SEVERE BUT TRUE.--Parson Brownlow
Senator from Tennessee, recently took
offence at some remarks of Gen. d. II.
Hill, and pitched into HIM in the coarse,
vulgar style peculiar to him, whereupon
Gen, Hill draws the following truthful
portrait of Brownlow:
The whole life of this miserable erea.
ture has been shame and lie. A
minister of the pure gospel of Christ,
he has belched forth nothing but false
hood, blasphemy and obscenity. For
quarter of century the self-elected
champion of human bondage, he has for
twelve years Travelled in loving sympathy
with the "hell-bound party" of abolition
lists, The first to suggest Southern
confederacy, he has been the fiercest per-
secutor of the confederates. Dragging
OF the terrible things he would do in war,
he skunk into bomb-proof on the strong
side at the first whistle of balls. Preach
ing, writing and lecturing for twenty
years that the negro was brute, fit only
ior bondage, he owes his present Senate
RAJ nonors to negro influence. Prating
al MS life about honesty, he voted for
'he back salary steal and took his share
OF the stolen money.

THE NEXT CONGRESS. The first session
Of the Forty-third Congress will COM
mence on Monday, December lst, less
than five months hence. 1t will be an
important session, and many measures
Of great consequence to the country will
be considered and acted on. Most i'm
pOrtant of all is the increase of the nav
Of Congressman. With remarkable
unanimity, the people in every section of
the country demanded the repeal of the
bill by which the compensation of Con-
sressmen was increased so per cent, and
if the Forty-third Congress does not
speedily pass a repeating bill, those of its
members who are instrumental in de-
ieating the measure will be as unpopular
as are those who originally passed the
bill. Next among the important meas
ures to be considered is postal tele-
graph bill. This will be strongly op-
posed by the present monopoly But the
people by an overwhelming majority,
are in favor OF it, and if majority of the
next Congress is incorruptible, a postal
telegraph bill viii be passed At the last
session, committee of the Senate was
appointed to investigate and report upon
the subject of electing President and Vice
President of the United States by a di-
rect vote of the people. This also is a
very important subject, and one upon
which there Gan be no doubt as to the
views and wishes of the people.

THE GUILTY VICE PkEs1DENr.-The
case OF Mr. Colfax has been very iustlv
and coDcisely stated as follows LAST
week the Vice President declared on
oath to Judge Poland's committee that
he mad not received twelve hundred
dollars from Cakes Ames in June, 1868;
that Ames' checks upon the Sergeant
alarms, for that amount in favor Of
.. c. had never been seen by him,
tie was positive of this, because he
could not possibly have received that
amount of money from any source with
Iont recoiecting it. To day the books
OF the First National Bank of Wash
'ngton were produced, and Colfax's re-
ceipt was examined. There appeared
Il credit Of sl,96S GO. dated June 2,
| 1868, two days after the date of Ames'
checks to 8. c. on the Sergeant-at-
Arms and one day after that check
was paid. This furnishes only pre-
sumptive proof Of the deposit of the
81 200. but all dobnbt was removed
when the cashier produced a deposit
ticket bearing Colfax's signature. in
which the Sl.965 60 was itemised. 81
200 being cash and the rest cheeks or
drafts. The circumstantial evidence
in Colfax's case is therefore complete.
Ames swears he drew % check on tho
serGeant-atArms in favor IS. c. for
81 ,2co on the Goth of June, 1868. and
gave it to Colfax in payment of the
Credit Mobilier dividend. The Ser
geant-at-Arms produced the check, da-
ted June goth, and shows that it was
cashed on the 2lst, and charged to
Ames' account; on tile 22I Colf,x de-
posts exactly $1,000 in cash in tho
bank. Now, unless he can prove that
he received the 81, 300 from some other
source his case is hopeless and he can
not escape verdict of guilty of false
hood and perjury" When these de-
vclnpments were in progress the Vice
President was asking the Senate to ap-
point an investigating committee for
his particular case, something which he
Knew, or ought to have known. could
lot be done. Jud ge Thurman, the
'blest lawyer and most powerful de-
,ater in the Senate, pointed out very
dearly the illegaIity of the proposedin-
and the resolution of Sem

The "Ir" Of she Advocate.

The Pacific Adcocate, In alluding to
some animadversions Of the Portland
Ereniag Ne,cs on our Mitchell article,
says: '1f the REGISTER designed to
uphold Mr.. Mitchell in any wrong
doing, it has greatly erred. in our iudg-
ment, " ere. We are sorry the editor
of that journal did not take the troll
hle to read our article before he wrote
the above. The animadversiOns of
the Ne,es were very likely but refec-
tion of those of the Democrat of this
place, as we do not exchange with the
former. and it seems to have copied its
deductions from the latter, which were
based upon premises of its own inven-
tion. No fair-miLded journalist, much
less religious one, win make careless
statements relative to positions as
sumed by another, where they involve
vital issues. In fact, truth cannot be
compromised in anything; no shift
ings between it and falsehood. no cir
cumlocution will satisfy the demands
OF justice; the truth and nothing but
the truth, is the claim of equity. Now,
then, what right has the Adrocate to
express a doubt relative to our posi-
ton, when a little reading would ell
tighten it? Our position is plain-a
waytaring man though fool may un-
derstand it. Should not the editor of

are not editing a church paper. But
he is, he is the mouth-piece of the

equity of the Church are supposed to
preside at his tripod. What right has
he to throw a mantle of implied guilt

More Argument.

Brevity is said to be the soul Of
wit. To speak without superfiulty
and write without circnmlocution,
developing facts sharply and clearly,
in fewest words, are desVsble traits;
but where these are done at the ex-
pense Of logical palticn!arlty, or
convincing argument, superticiallty
of development is the result. The
most popular writers for the press
are paragraphists: in fewest words
they state the fact, or principle, but
do not prove it. In other words,
they simply postulate. Such writ
ing imparts kno yledge-it fills the
mind with facts, as bin would be
filled with corn by scooplng it in
but the resouing powers are not
brought into action; no original
idea, or careful thinking is evoked,
and a feeble mertal development
is the result. 1t would be better
for US, and especially for the future
of our people, if more profound
thinking; more reasoning from cause
to effect; more exhaustiveness OF
statement were praeticed by speak
ers and writers, rather than the
present indulgence in mere glitter
ing generalities. If we would have
our people strong in the brain, the
press and rostrum must argue more
and postulate less.

A Contrast.

Our attention has lately been
called to comparison of the per-
sonal allowances received per day
by the rulers Of Europe, and the
salary OF the President Of the United
States. In the light of this con-
trast, the efforts frequently made
by PARTISAN wnters-generally for
PARTISAN purposes-to show the
latter amount extortionate, becomes
contemplate. Here are some of
the contrasts:
Queen Victoria, per day .....$ soy
William of Prussia ....... S,2l0
Francis Joseph OF Austria. 80. l0,95O
President Grant t............. 137
The American nation is rich and
prosperous enough to pay her Chief
Magistrate a salary large enough
to relieve his mind from financial
cares, and enable him without en-
barrassment to maintain in a decent
manner the duties and dignities of
his Office; and $4,000 per annum
is enough and none too much.

Our Hypocrisy.

The Salem Mercury calls us hypo-
critic. That is one who appears to be
what he is not-a dissembler. Let us
see That journal saysall the Repub-
lican papers in Oregon are in sympa-
thy with our new Senator, but the
REGISTER is the only one that dares
to boldly assert its opinions relative to
the matter. If that be true, where
does the discrimination come in? By
its own acknowledgment, we do not
hide our real sentiments, but boldly
avow them, thus openly on paper
putting in practice our genuine views.
How is it with that journal? Let us
see: For its ering brethren Of the
South its plea ever hos been, amnesty,
mercy. Let not the law Furnishing
the traitor and the peIurer be enforced
against them. Oh, no! Let a gen
erous Government show mercy, and
spare the guilty; and it would have
forced amnesty upon the leading reb-
els, even while they spurned it. Why?
Because it sympathized with them.
Its sympathetic soul leads it to regard
murder, and arson, and theft, and per-
jury. and all the other crimes of the
rebellion, as only the mistakes of our
erring brethren. Now, Senator Mitch
ell, whose crimes against morals date
back to about the same time, compris-
ing the desertion of wife and the
changing of his name, whose subse-
quent life appears upon its surface, at
least, as full of elements of reform,
must have llo mercy, no amnesty
shown him. No matter how earnestly
bis life and works may ask it, let inn
placable, mforgiying justice and .iudg-
ment be enforced. Down with the
wretch! Let himbe accurSed forever,
is the bounding cry Of this journal.
Now, then, if twas right, and gen
erous, and christian, to show mercy
towards the rebels, why not towards
Mitchell? If the principle was right
in the one case, should it not apply in
the other? If the Mercury is right in
its position now, was it not acting the
hypocrite then? If it was right then,
is it not hypocrite nOw9
