gENATOR MITCHELL,

The new Senator from Oregon, John Hipplo
Mitchell or John Mitchell Nipple, rs tho cuso
may DO, for ho has enjoyed both these namos, la
Tho ohargca mado against him aro 80 grave in
character that they cannot DO ignored. II they
should provo to. be true, public opinion alone
may force him to resign. Should 1t not do so
and should it turn out that the Senate cannot
talso cognizanco OF purely social mlsdoeds upon
tho part Of ono Of its membors, still the proju-
dico against him will. be 60 strong that ho will
prefer roaignation to. soclal md political
roproach. Tho substance OF tho charges made
against him ia, that ho Is passing under m as-
sumod name, his real namo being John Hipplo.
1t is furthermore said that about ak years ago
ho abandoned his vito and family and fed from
Pennsylvania, where they were then roaiding.
This Charge ia substantiated by his first wife,
who has 1ato1y malo statement to this effect
in ono Of tho Pittsburgh papers, and haa added
TINT she waa first soducod BY him, and that. since
bis dosortlon Of hor, ho has managed to got hor
children AWAY from bor. He married his second
vile In 1869. tho daughter Of PROM
inent citizen Of Oregon, although the flrst one,
Mrs. Hipplo, was not divorced, as is alleged, un-
til 1857, Il this statament should provo true,
thoro is also question OF blgamy. In addition
to thoso facts, Judge Tlompaon, Ills late law.
pnrtnor, who was ono OF the Grant Electors at
tho last olcction, states that. when Mitchell Or
Hipplo loft Pennsylvania, ho was at Pittsburgh
on business, and had fuuds in Ills possession
belonging to tho firm, which ho used for tho
purposo OF paying Ills oxponaos to Oregon,
although .ho afterwards forwarded to Ills
partner title-doeds to property which he
doomed sufficient to cover tho amount, and fully
discharged all his indebtedness. This Ia tho sub
stance OF tue chargoa against him which ho will
DO obliged to faco. In jussico to him, 1t should
be stated that he donioa tho material part OF the
charges against him, and It Ia atatod that ho ia
going to Ponnsylyania, whore tho story Of bis
carly Ito is known, to mako thorough aud
public investigation, aud to bring forward old
cItizons who can e,,bstantiate hs assertions that
lo WAS justified III leaving hiH family as ho did.
At presont, however, tho burden OF testimony Is
against him, and circumstances Hoom to confirm
tic atatomonts OF Lis first wife and humorous
other partios, who arc In position to know tho
facts As fur as tho Senate Of the Unltod
Btatos il concerned, oven 1t 1t had tho authority
to Investigate his case, 1t may bo doubted
| whether, in the Light Of rocent oyonts, any
| official action would bo taken In the promises.
at the eamo tlmo, should the charges againat
him bo proved to be correct. the force OF
popular opinion would prevent him from re-
tanning his scat, and compel Ills resignation.

In Al article on the recent election in this
State to 1ll tho vacancies on tho Supreme Bench
tho Graphic, OF Now York. makos tho following
statement: "Judgo Lawronco has virtually do
cidcd that tho rnilroads hold charters which ON
power thom to charge what they ploaso, and
that noithor tho Legislature nor tho poop1o can
help themselves" Judge Lawrence virtually
aud actually decided no such thing. Tho only
case to whioh tho Graphic could havo referred
was that Of tho Chicago b Alton Railroad. The
decision In that caso waa tho unanimous opinion
OF tho Court, consisting Of Bovon Judges
unsurpassed for learning and integrity
by tho sa1no number Of Judges anywhere In this
country. Chief Justice Lawrence delivered tho
opinion in tho oaAe, and thoro woro just two
points to 1t, viz: !. Tho State STATUTE under
which tho suit was brought, WAS invalid because
It nought to make nil railroad discrimination
punishable whether 1uat Of unjust. Tho ConBti-.
tuition Of tho State OF Illinois provides that "tho
General Assembly shall pass 1aws to correct
abuses and prevent unjust discrimination" Tho
law failed. therefore, : to comply with tho
ooAs14tut4on. aau Wig ooule 10 ueclQeo.
2. Tho Court held that tho forfeiture
Of franchiEo .and property worth from
ten to twolyo millions Of dollars. for tho first
offenae Of q railroad, was m excessive ponalty
in tho contemplation OF Inv. aud could not bo
enforced. These wero the only points In tho
dcoision. So fur from having nndo tho decision
with which lie is credited, Judge Lawrence
showed that the people and tho Legislature Gun
always right the abuses whicb afliot thom 1t
they will go about it according to law. Ho WIS
dofoated in tho election by variety Of argu-
monts, tho chief Of which was that if he should
be e1octcd aftor tho Princeton Convention had
nominated another man, the Farmcrs' Movc-
ment would como to an end.

Tho law OF ovidonco is clumsy, redundant,

throo 1argc volumos md sl,rewd criminal lawyer
might find enough teohnicalttes to mako three vol

and most intelligent jury that over triod caao.
This mass Of confusion and complication is tho
outgrowth of procodente, established as safo-
guards for accused persons at q umo whom tho
ponaltios wero grossly diBproportionato to tho
ofronaos. While man was subject to DO hanged
for stealing forty Bhil1ings, tt was not unnatural
that tho Bench md the Bar should unto to
hedge the prisoner In by all tho technical obteo-
tions that could bo invonted. Now that penalties
aro better proportional to tho nnturo Of tho
crimes, and hanging Is limited to tho single act
Of deliberately taking human life, there Is no
roason why all tho evidence pro and con should
not bo produced oloarly, intelligontly, and con-
accutive1y for tho information Of tho Jury. In
der tho present rulos Of evidence, the protection
OF the community Is likely to DO defeated in

tho case clearly before tho court. Some reform
in this direction has alroady been inaug1zatod
In thiB country. Every prisoner tried in q
United Statoa court Is now permitted to give
his own Testimony. In Illinois tho neeusod mny

Ia nowhere any obligation upon tho prisoner to

to bo to convict tho guilty and acquit tho inno-
cont This purposo has been frustrated by tho
