The frequent occurrence Of terri
bls fire disasters, have rendered
them . eort OF contagion. They are
going from city to city, from town
to town, destroying in . few hours
the labor Of years, or Of . lifetime.
They have their admonitions. They
ss much IS say: "Look out, It will
bs your turn next" IfprOper pre-
sautioary measures are taken, if
proper supervision over the con-
struction Of fiues, the building Of
houses, is extended; if . sufficient
number Of fire engines are provided
for the reasonable needs ofthe town
or city; ifthe water supply provid-
cd, in the shape Of cisterns, or some
other means, is commensurate with
the needs Of every locality-in 9TH
or words, if the agencies for pre-
venting and conquering fires are
thoroughly organized and kept in
efficient condition, these sweeping
conAagrations may be avoided.
Providing and keeping up these
agencies will cost money, Of course;
but they will more than pay for
themselves in preventing the spread
Ofa single fire. Does Portland re-
gret now that she purchased the last
new fire engineH Many OF her Citi-
sens did object to it before the fire,
thinking it was an unnecessary and
sxtravagant investment; but we
venture they do not think 80 now.
1t was an investment which more
than paid for itself over and over
again during the last fire, in the
property 1t saved from destruction.
Portland is Dow convinced, too, that
hcr water supply is not great
enough; and doubtless she will pro-
oeed at once to oct upon that CON
viCtiOn. So, too, should Albany,
and every other place, where SIM
liar deficiency prevails.

word Of disapproval ofMr. Nipples

have any respect for truth and make
such an assertion Is that is beyond
our conception. We know Of no
Republican Journal, norpublic man
OF that party, that has spoken con-
Cerning the moral delinquencies OF
our Senator, but has condemned
them with more or less emphasis.
We have yet to read the first edi-
tOrial, or hear the first language Of

his sins. A Republican would be
false to his faith and duty were he
to do so.

ing that any such existed, We called
on that Journal to tell us where and
when it was made. Here il its an
swer:
We will endeavor to answer the
question Of our neighbor in this
way: It il ; veil settled rule Of law
that every count in the declaration
or bill not denied is taken as CON
fessed. discharged and not denied
by Mr.. Mitchell or his defenders
that he was married in Oregon
about the year 1862, and that he
was not divorced from his Pennsyl-
vania wife until about the year
1867 1t was in this sense we
stated him Q Confessed Dlgamist. "
Are we not right neighbour
Very queer philosophy that truly!
If Mr.. Mitchell or bis friends do not
choose to notice by denial every
false charge of immorality or crime
which Democratic recklessness or
venom chooses to invent, or retail
concerning him, why, then, per con-
sequence, be is guilty! He or his
friends must come out and deny
every allegation which enemies
make, or else they are true! There
is Democratic logic and equity for
you. at is . well settled rule Of
law" too, Oracularly uttes our
astute neighbor. Yes, 50 badly
"settled" is it, that it has never
risen to the surface. Why, accord
ing to that theory, if we were to
charge our neighbor with being non
compos mentis, and be or his friends
from some cause or other refused to
deny it, that silence would be &C.
knowledgment Of it's truth. The
hundreds Of false allegations that
were invented BY bad and designing
men and circulated against the
Father Of his Country during bis
life, for the purpose of destroying
his influence and bringing the cause
which be advocated into disgrace,
were all true, which he or his
friends did not see proper to deny,
hey? Is that it? 0, fudge! The
best men that ever lived would be
the vilest criminals, were that theory
correct. No, sir; you are not right,
neighbor. Mr.. Mitchell is not be-
fore you, or any ofyour Democratic
contemporaries for trial. He was
not committed to your platforms,
nor elected by your votes, and is
under no obligations to account to
your party for his political princi-
pies, or his morals in the past or
present. Were he to deny your
false allegations, and by incontest-
able witness prove their falsity as
he did concerning the charge Of en-
bezzlement, still as in that case, you
would continue to reiterate them.
That is your way. He is wise in
not paying any attention to you.
His case is out of the hands of the
people Of Oregon. It belongs 70
the Senate Of the United States,
where, doubtless, he will give an
account OF himself in due time.
The above, however, is q good
illustration of the reckless manner
in which Democrats treat their op-
pOnents.

weeks ago, some thirty Chinese
laborers arrived here from San Fran
cisco by the steamer Eastport,
designing to work in the Hardy
Coal Mine, opposite North Bend.
AT the time of their arrival, we
anticipated q breeze between them
and the Miners Benevolent Associ-
alton, but one of the officers of the
society said to us: please say moth
ing about it. They will not stay .
month, and when they 60 away
they'll give the place . black eye.
II we seek to drive them of, others
will come in their place. Cinnamon
never yet have been successful -
underground laborers, and never
will be. All attempts to introduce
them in the Nevada silver mines
have failed, and this is just as bad
on them" Accordingly, we let the
matter most severely alone. The
result was just what our friend
predicted. In three days work,
tie Chinese twenty was all that
ever went into the shaft, had taken
out just three tons and a-half of
coal in all, and on the fourth day
they quit work. Being utterly
destitute Of money, Capt. R. Simp-
son has allowed them to work their
passage back to San Francisco on
the Oregonidn, which goes out to-
day, if the weather will permit.

is rapidly finding its own solution
