cahlity of the route from Seat

The most important political
organization in Pennsylvania,
the Philadelphia Union League,
thus strongly indorses the poll
cy Of President Hayes:
There are indeed, there neces-
sariIy must be, differences Of
opinion among us, but it must be
admitted by the candid and
thoughtful that so long as the
opposition controlled the popu
lar branch of our national Veg
islature, and so had control o.
the appropriations necessary te
the support of the army and ma
Wy, no use could be made Of the
forces Of the United States moi
sanctioned by them, and that
consequently, no other course
than the one pursued was posi-
bic, and that the recognition Of
Governors Hampton and Mich
oils ceased to be matter Of dis
cretion and became a necessity
Tho consummation Of the reform
of the civil service not only
commends itself to the good
judgment and patriotism Of our
citizens, but has become a matter
of direct personal pecuniary in.
terest to all our tax-burdened
communities. The struggle will
be bitter and may be prolonged
Many Senators of both partie;
will struggle to retain theil
usurped prerogative, and this
Union League should see to il
that nothing it can properly dc
shall be left undone to aid in the
success of those principles OF
action which we have already
publicly indorsed.

Man is the only animal in the
world that blows his nose. The
alligator has nose nearly two
feet long, and he never blows it.
The elephant can reach over his
nose and tickle his hind legs, and
he often does, but he never
wipes it. The blue-nosed ba-
boon has a cerulean proboscls of
which the noblest animal might
be proud, but it goes unblown.
The double-nose pointer has i'm
mense capacity for blowing, but
he never will; and the oyster,
whose nose reaches clear round
to his back, refrains from exer-
cising it. Man alone has reach
ed the height of pocket hand
kerchief, and he proudly waves
his bandana as a sufficient evi-
dence Of his superiority.

A Washington correspondent
of the Cincinnati Enquirer as
serts that a southern Democratic
Senator said to him recently:

came President has satisfied the
people that the success OF Mr..
Tilden would have been a loss to
the country. But aside from
that we of the Democracy &C

now would be to convulse the

We have only a little over three
years to wait for another trial.
1t reminds me of an old story OF
two lovers who applied to a
magistrate in the country to
unite them IN marriage; but the
squire's commission had just ex-
pired, and he said they must go
on through a rather lonely road
to town. AS they were about
leaving the old fellow called
them back. II believe" he said,

you through woods, but when

we have title enough to reach
the next election, and then if
Hayes goes on as he has begun
it is more than likely his title
will be reinforced.

The Orsgonian constantly reit-
crates the assertion that the
company will not accept the ex-
tension of the grant under the
provisions of the Mitchell bill,
hence there will be no railroad
to Oregon if it is not defeated.
The bill amply provides for that
contingency by the alternative
Of the Salt Lake road, which
is certain to be built if the N. P.
is abandoned; in fact that was a
chief argument against the bill
of Mr.. Mitchell a short time
since; that it was playing into
the hands of Jay Gould and the
Union Pacific. Very well; that
would be better, that would ne
cessitate the building of the road
to tide water, when if the N. P.
has exclusive control, no such
guarantee would be assured.
If the Oregonian would devote
the same ability and zeal to the
advocacy of the Mitchell bill
which it now gives to the rail
road managers, it would much
better serve the interests of the
public, though perhaps with less
profit to itself.

Between IL and II o'clock on
the 10th inst, General Harlan
met the Judges of the Supreme
Court IN the robing room and
was received by them with cor
dial welcome. The oath known
as the iron-clad was then sworn
to and subscribed by him in
presence of Chief Justice Waite.
The Justices, as usual, then
formed in procession and entered
the courtroom, General Harlan
following in the rear, clothed in
the judicial gown. He halted
at the clerks desk, while the
Justices took their seats. The
Court was formally opened, when
the Chief Justice said he had re-
ceived the commission of John
NJ. Harlan as an Associate JUS
tice of the Court. This was or
dered to be read by the clerk.
The Chief Justice then said:
''The oath will now be taken"
Mr.. Harlan read it in an audible
tone, holding it in one hand
while the other was placed on
the Bible. After the oath was
taken Mr.. Harlan left the place
where Ire had been standing, and
passing in the rear of the
judges, took the seat formerly
occupied by Associate Justice
Hunt, on the extreme lett, the
latter now occupying a seat on
the right. The judges rose and
bowed to their new colleague.

Perfectly Practica BILE.

The report of the surveying
party sent out to find a line for
the branch of the N. P. r. r.
over the Naches Pass-a map of
which has already been filed in
the General Land Office, as the
foundation of a claim to the land
grant for constructing the Puy-
allup coal roads published in
the Tacoma Herald. This report
describes the scenery on the
route as "grand," and "gor-
geous," with immense ledges OF
rock "fivc hundred feet high, F"
with gorges and cascades sub
lime in their grandeur, which,
the report saye, "will at no dis
tant date, be as popular with
tourists as those noted points of
interest on the Union and Cen
trail Pacific railways" all of
which, as all railroad engineers
can tell us, is decidedly In favor
of the practicabllity of the route ;
it being only second to that OF
Van Trump and Stevens to the
crater of Mount Rainier, near the
same route.
The surveying party started
from the end Of the coal road,
which runs from Tacoma to that
point in a north easterly direc-
ton, diverging due north, thence
northwest, reaching a point five
miles in a zigzag course and four
miles in straight line from the
place of departure, but probably
not one mile towards the object
i've point. From this point the
survey proceeded a little west of
north to the valley of White
river. "The river was running
from east to west. Followed
south bank of river, and at 11:15
had ascended about two miles,
and were opposite a spur OF
Mud mountain at 11:30. Owing
to a narrow gorge with perpen-
dicular walls through which the
river runs, we were compelled
to ascend and descend a very
steep and dangerous mountain
some four or five hundred feet
high in order to gain about 200
yards on our journey. This re-
quired an hours time and was a
perilous undertaking. Took a
hasty dinner and started out
with worthy intentions at 1:2O;
but the whole afternoon was
spent in hard zigzag tramp up
into the mountain and down to
the river. This performance was
duplicated many times. We as
cended White river about a mile
and a half, and were compelled
to retrace our steps few hun
dred yards at dark, to camp for
the night"
The above, which IS quoted
literally from the report, is con-
cluded with the remark, "this
portion of the route is thorough
ly practicable.' The party did
not pursue their survey to the
summit, or Naches Pass, but re-
turned to Wilkeson and report
ed as above. Thus ends for the
present the much vaunted pro-
iect of constructing the branch
road from the coal mines across
the mountains through the Ma
chess Pass, upon which was pre-
dicated their claim to the land
granted for a branch of the N.
P. Railroad from Puget Sound
across the Cascade mountains,
and which has succeeded in it's
purpose of menacing the people
of Portland for their support of
the Mitchell bill.

Personal.

We have been blamed by we'll
meaning friends for our forbear-
ance in not retaliating upon the
anonymous but well known edit
or of the Democratic Press, by
giving a few Of the incidents of
his private history in return for
the vile defamation he has heap
ed upon us and other respecta-
BILE citizens. We have only to
say in explanation, that we can
better afford to suffer his abuse,
which all our acquaintances
know to be utterly destitute of
truth, than to sink our own self
respect and degrade ourself to
his level by publishing personal
acts Of his which would make
our paper an indecent publica-
ton, and which we cannot even
allude to without a feeling of
shame for our common humani-
ty. AS public journalist we
have nothing to do with, and the
public generally have no interest
in, the social infidelitles and con-
sequent domestic infelicities of
DR.. Williston. If the communi-
ty in which he lives can tolerate
him asa practising physician and
newspaper scandal ,monger, with
a full knowledge of his private
character, we have nothing to
say. Ifany desire further knowl-
edge on that subject, We would
refer them to Hill Harmon, Gen.
Milroy, or any others who had
intimate personal relations with
him at Steilacoom, Olympia or
the Chehalis Indian reservation.
We have but dealt with the pub
lie manifestations of his mali
clous and degraded propensities
as we would have treated any
other public nuisance chief
of which is public journal de-
voted exclusively to the malig-
nant purpose Of assailing private
reputation; and all conn ected
with, or who contribute to the
support of, such an institution,
do a greater wrong to society
than the keeper Of the most in
famous den Of vice; for it's infu-
ence is broader, no degree Of
social respectability is exempt
from its malign power, and the
law affords no adequate protec-
ton from the venom which it
may infuse into every social cir
Gle.
An agent of the Press recently
entered the Office of a gentleman
in this city and asked him to
subscribe for a Democrat paper.
81 am a Republican," was the
"Oh, well," said the
agent, I" I am a Republican, too;
but our paper pitches into DEM
ocrats as much as it does into
Republicans. I want you to see
what we say about old Brown,
Sheriff Miller, Joe Kuhn and
Morris Haller; all Democrats.
Why, more Republicans than
Democrats take the paper. Some
leading Republicans in Town
send take two copies apiece just
for the fun of the thing
" WE'LL" said the disgusted Re-
publican, when I want to hire
a blaclguard to abuse a gentle
man, 1 will draw upon the lava
beds for a professional who, for
a glass Of whiskey, would dupli-
cate your editor
The above IS a specimen of the
manner in which the vile thing
is commended to public support,
solely as a medium of personal
vituperation and defamation,
which is very attractive to the
