ton came, we expressed and en-
tertained as great a horror for
the youthful follies and crimes
of Mr.. Mitchell as any one; but
that has never restrained US to
withhold from him just need
of praise for the untiring energy
and answering devotion to the
the interests Of his constituents
which all candid parties concede
to him. 1t is not only very mar
row, but the very worst public
policy, to throw mud at public
men charged with representing
our local interests at the seat of
government; it is Of a peace with
the practice Of some local news

pair abroad, the character and

No Cause for Alarm.

The Portland people are rails
ing a panic because the managers
Of the n. p. Railroad have or
dered the survey Of new rail-
road route across the Cascades
by the way Of the Naches. To
any one acquainted with the
country and the designs of the
managers, there is no cause for
alarm in this movement, which
Is but q feint to frighten the Or
egonians out Of the Mitchell bill,
and at the same time as an argu-
ment for awarding the land grant
10 the building Of the Puyallup
coal road, which they pretend is
a portion of their branch road.
Let the reader take any map of
the country, with the mountains
and water courses clearly indi-
Gated thereon, and he will at a
glance see the absurdity Of the
proposition, which impression
will be confirmed by reading the
report Of any authentic survey
of the mountain passes. The
coal punches to which the Puy-
allup railroad now rms, are in
mountain gorges, about 35 miles
southeast of Tacoma, fanked
by high bluffs barring all further
railroad progress in that direc-
ton. There is no possible way
of connecting a railroad at that
point with one passing over the
Naches pass, but by going back
over the line, in a northwest
direction, tWo-thlrds OF the way
to Tacoma, and then diverging
at an acute angle towards the
Naches Pass, which competent
engineers have pronounced ut
terly impracticable for a railroad
passage. The managers of the
N. p. have no more intention of
building road over that route
than the p. D. and S. Il. Co. have
Of building a railroad over the
top Of Mount Hood. 1t is only
one of the innumerable false pre-
tences which have characterized
the management Of that compa-
ny from its organization to the
present time.

Sensible Conclusion.

A Democratic correspondent
of the Portland Standard makes
the following sensible sugges-
tions in regard to the treatment
Of Senator Mitchell: "He was
elected as a Republican by Re
publicans. His individual and
political shortcomings are not
improper matters for investiga-
ton. Especially Democrats may
be expected to raise every pos
sible objection to him, as the
leader of the Republican party
in this State. But he is a Sena
tor Of this State and is an active
man. His untiring energy has
come to be marked at Washing
ton, and he is laboring to do
what he can, in his way, for the
State he represents; and If any
low character, even if the editor
of the Oregonian, filled the place
[ do not think the people of Or
egon would care to have him
traduced and his influence for
the welfare of the State destroy
ed. l am a Democrat, and as a
Democrat [ shall oppose Mr..
Mltchells reelection. But l
hope Mr.. Mitchell will accom-
plish all he can for Oregon and
1 for one Will praise him for it. -
Why is not this correct in
principle? By all equitable prin-
eiples the Devil is entitled to
what is justly due him; yet there
are some so bigoted that they
attempt on every occasion to
smirch over every good public
act of Senator Mitchell with al
Iusions to his indiscretions as a
young man, committed a score Of
years ago, and known only to
bis constituents through the tes-
timony of others and his own
confessions. When the exposi-

The Coming Man.

Henry Watterson, Of the Lou
isville Courier-Jo,uWGl, was made
the subject of an interview in
New York, of which Gen. Grant
became the principal topic. MI
Watterson said, with good deal
of significance, "the man who
thinks we are done with Gener-
al Grant is short-sighted. If he
lives, he will be the Republican
Wallesticn assembling forces in
the dessolate camp and marshal
ing the hosts. The country may
as well make up its mind now to
a death struggle with Grant and
Grantism in three years hen ce.'
1t is an open secret that the Sen
atorial leaders Of the Republican
party are willing to give way to
Grant in 1880. Blaine has ex-
pressed himself as not desiring 4
nomination until 1884. at which
date he will be only 56 years old.
Conkling will not be in . condi-
tion in 1880 to contend for a
Presidential nomination, as he is
out of favor with a large portion
Of the party and can hardly re-
cover under the Hayes Admins
tration. Gen. Cameron and Zach
Chandler, two Of the best politi-
cal workers in the party, have
openly expressed a hope and be-
lief that Grant would become q
candidate and wOnld be elected
in 1880. 1t is not improbable,
therefore, that the portion OF the
party that is in sympathy with
Blaine, Conkling, Edmonds and
others, will welcome Grant as
the man that can beat Hayesism
in the party and Democracy out
of it. The Hayes wing of the
party Will not take kindly to
Grants leadership. 1t will be
political death to them. The
ex-Presldent is not supposed to
be troubled with visions of a sec
ond term, being at present some
what occupied with getting thro'
with his European travels; but
many Republicans have declared
in favor Of his policy who will
not be ready to be laid on the
shelf in 1880. Grants own de-
claration Of confidence in the
success Of the Republicans in
1880 may have been based upon
mental supposition that he
would be the standard bearer,
and upon that confidence in sue
cess which is justified BY his re-
markable career.

The New York Herald says Bos-
ton is fond of the wild exhiliration
and character of a lecture. Indul-
gence in lectures is species of de
bauchery into which she throws
herself with all the frantic impulse
of a nature unused to restraint. As
is the opium habit or the cocktail
habit with ordinary humanity, so is
the lecture habit with that Athenian
public. Consequently Mr.. Hall. in
going to Boston with lecture, plays
upon the weaknesses of the Boston
ese and may take the place by storm.
But let him beware how he adopts
the fancy they have there that when
he has once conquered Boston the
rest Of the world is easy.

Mind is vastly more import
ant than muscle, and civiliza-
tion requires men of brains. 1t
is not wise that all men should
make their living by tent max
ing. The law of the division OF
labor is the best law Of civillza
ton. There is a great deal OF
common work to be done, great
deal Of drudgery to be gone
through with. The world re-
quires it and must have 1t. The
day it is diminished we will &c
back ward. The true, honest la
Dor is respectable and in the
truest sense honorable. A man
who is voluntarily idle is not en-
titled to respect. 1t is all right
going up to a state of ease and
riches, but it is the coming
down that is unpleasant. Peter,
the Emperor Of Russia, in a ship
yard and on the deck of a YES
sci; St. Paul, making tents for a
livelihood, were examples to be
remembered, and neither were
thought the less Of because
they worked.

SELLING Liquors TO INDIANS
The Act Of Congress heretofore
in force in regard to selling H.
quors to Indians, specially ex-
cepted the Indians themselves
from punishment for q violation
of the Act. The new Act OF
Feb. 27, 1877, strikes out the
words "except an Indian in an
Indian country" so that no dis
tinction is now made on account
of race or color, and a Siwash
who now sells, exchanges, gives.
barters or disposes Of fire-watel

privilege with the pale faces to

the vilest ISLANDERS which can be
gathered from the dens Of infa-

respecting private immunity OF
social decency, and utterly re-
gardless of truth or public inter
ests; its personal appeals for
patronage are directed almost
exclusively to the lowest ele-
ments Of society, solely on the
ground of its infamous personal
tiles. The most worthless vag-
abond that crawls has access to
it's columns to give currency to
the vilest SANDERS upon the most
reputable citizens. fthe charge
that Williston is the editor OF
that paper is not true, we have
done him a wrong that no gen
tleman would ever tolerate from
another; if true, he has placed
himself in a position In which no
gentleman can touch his hand,
or permit him to cross his thresh-
old in social intercourse, without
degradion. The discharged con-
wet, whose communication ac-
cusing some Of the most reputa-
bic citizens of the town Of infa-
nous crime, he sought and pub
lished, is less infamous, because
less responsible, than the man
who endorsed the slander by
giving it currency through a
public print.
We have no controversy with
that paper, even to controvert
its scandalOus falsehoods. At our
age in life, charges of acting
from mercenary motives, or be-
ing addicted to dissOlute habits,
made for the first time IN all our
political or personal controver-
sizes, needs DO other answer than
the record of a life upon which
our most bitter partisan oppo-
nents never attempted to cast a
reproach but for political opin-
ions and personal independence,
maintained at the sacrifice of ev-
cry material personal interest
But regarding an infamous news
paper as one Of the most demor-
alizing of public nuisances, we
have spoken Of the Press as we
would Of dens Of debauchery OF

| The elder DIR. Beecher, on be-
ing challenged by young slang
whanger to theological discus
sion, declined, saying that when
he was a student, an animal
crossed his path one night, at
which he discharged a book he
was carrying under his arm.-
The animal proved to be skunk
from which he received an ad-
monition which had ever after
deferred him from conflict with
that kind of animal. Our eXpe-
rience with the Port Townsend
specimen Of the odorous animal
has been attended with similar
results, though not under like
provocation. 1t is one of the
habits OF this filthy creature to
steal the burrow and attempt to
assume the character of more
reputable ANIMALS. We received
q full charge Of its vile odors for
exposing the fact that a Black
Republican skunk had stolen the
hole and was assuming the char
acter Of Democratic wood
chuck. He might have evaded
the issue if he had not at once
resorted to the skunk's weapon,
which betrayed its real charac-
ter.
The filthy odor which has been
discharged upon US, only exposes
the nature OF the animal, with
out any personal injury. That
the keepers Of squaw brothels
and other dens OF intamy, who
use the brute to befoul others,
enjoy the odor and will continue
to maintain it as a pet, is very
natural. But that any decent
Democrat will continue to toler-
ate it under the guise of wood
chuck, when all it's odors mani
fest the skunk, we do not be-
licye.

PLAIN TALIN.

The Va. PATRON being asked by
the Lynchburg News if it would
support Major Daniel, in case he
should get the nomination, thus
sayeth
mo, sir, we will not support Major
Daniel, If the platform of the Con-
vanti0n is a clear and emphatic and
s0tisjfctOry cuuuciatiOn of State poll
cy we will abide the issue it makes 49,
lit does not meet these requirements,
we shall repudiate it, and appeal to
tho taxpayers to rcpudiate it at the
polls The Convention cannot blot
out John w. Daniels record. We
will not support, nnder any circum-
stances, a man whose past legislative
acts are such that we cannot trust him
where the industrial interests come in
antagonism with the wishes of the
speoulators."
OF course, the News condemns
this, and yet there are Daniel men,
here, and elsewhere in the State,
who say the same thing should Gen.
Malone be nominated. 1t begins
to look as though an Independent
candidate will be in the field, no
odds who may be the nominee
The convention is to split over the
debt question, for on this and this
alone the party is split, 1t is the
only issue in the canvass, and it
begins to appear that the two am
tagonistic and mutually repellant
wings are not going to coherc
without outside pressure, and this
outside pressure the radical party
is not going to supply.
