AT the close of our late war the various
Bureaus Of the War Department were
busily engaged, one and all, in mastering
out the troops that participated in the con.
fict. So harmoniously did they work to-
gether, so admirably were the plans ar.
ranged and consummatcd and the troops
paid and dismissed to their homes, that
Europe was amazed at the spectacle. No
noise no confusion. no disturbance; but
harmony, promptness, and peace. OF course,
the clerical force Of these Bureaus was re-
duced years ago; but the work now suffers
from lack Of clerical capacity, of which
they are sadly deficient. And yet Mr. BAN
NING would do worse by consolidating
Bureaus entirely distinct, which would only
lead to confusion and disaster. His bill is a

The fact WAS made known in the Sunday

two hearts that beat as one are united

some other process of miscegenation. How
ever how the thing has been accomplished
is a matter OF very little consequence to any

A SUNDAY contemporary, in an article
on Oregon politics, pays a just tribute
to the ability and deserts of Senator
MITCHELL, of that State. The Senator has
now been in the upper House of Congress
for five years, and during this training in
the highest duties of tho legislator has
earned the reputation of being one Of the
most practicable and earnest workers in
the Senate. The Pacific slope has never
had representative who combined more
successfully the knowledge Of the profound
lawyer with that Of the practicable states
man, and in the approaching election in
Oregon the people Of that State should not
loso sight Of the fact that on the complex
ion Of the next Legislature depends the
election of their Senatorial representative
here at the Capital. No State that Is con-
tinually changing its representative hero at
the National Capital ever impresses Its wants
and necessities upon the legislation Of the
country. The practice the South followed
OF keeping her trained politicians always
at the National Capital made the slave
fe"Ni " III
and as soon as the Democracy of the South
came up again after the war they sent their
STEPHENsEs, HUSToNs and fuckers again
to the National Council Chambers. The re.
suit Of the presence Of these trained law
makers in bringing Southern influence SC
quickly to the front has more than justified
the wisdom of this policy. To the victory o
the Republican party of Oregon and the re
election Of Senator MITCHELL there is onl,
one opposition, and that, of course, Oregon
Democracy, backed up by the independen
newspaper Of Portland, into whose trcasur,
the CRoSIN investigation developed tina
$1,000 of tho money that TTLDES had sen
to secure one vote Of Oregon's electors ha'
gone. 1t is tho same old fight against De
mocracy and Croninism over again.

THIRTEEN years ago yesterday occurred
the assassination of ABRAHAM LINCOLN.
From out the editorial rooms of THE Ma
TIoNAL REPUBLICAN building can be seen
the angular roofs and the plain, unpretend-
ing structure once called FoRD's Theatre
that building wherein the assassin did his
work too well, and the life's blood of one OF
the best and purest men of the age ebbed
slowly away. That fearful crime Of Friday
night is yet remembered, and the Republi-
can principles OF ABRAHAM LINCOLN still
live. The man, good and pure, was stricken
down but the principles for which he fell
a. martyr survive him, ever to be the rally
ing cry of the Republican party of this ma
ton. Charitable and with a kindly heart

THE NATIONAL REPUBLICAN desires
briefly to say to the Sunday Herald that it

justified by the facts of the case. We re-
