i
timeut is with reference to ths election
Of J. Il. Mitchell, We appeud below
brief extracts from oar exchanges
throughout the state:
The Roseburg Revie,o (Dsm. says ;
"But J. III. Mitchell can sxcls im, ', nj,
vidi viol. Ii. w. Scott ought 10 reOsiv
q resolution OF thanks from Mr.. Mitch
oll's friends, for The important assistance
be, (Soott,) rendered Ia the election Of
the Hon. gentleman. Seott's wrath
was made to praise Mitchell. The Rs-
sis,c propasaisd the election OF one OF
two msa, Hon. Binger Hsrmann, or
Hon. ]. II. Mitchell. And taking 10
the whole situation from our standpoint,
We are compelled TO rejoice with those
Who weep
The Stale Journal (Rep. says:
"MitcheIl was an active, Industrious
member Of the Senate during the term
that he serysd some years ago, and We
have every reason TO expect that be will
serve the State ably aud we'll during
the term for which he has just been
elected"
The Eugene City Guard (Dsm. ).ays :
"Mr. Mitchell In . speech after the
election said that he would make no
factious opposition to the President, but
would oppose him II he attempted TO
infringe on the Tenure Of Office Act.
This, if We understand right, is the az
pressed opinion OF the whole body u
Republican Senators. But difference
Of opinien as to the Interpretation Of
that Act may arise between the Rspuh-
lican Senators, and il would prove In
terssting 20 the people IL the new SenA.
tor were to tell 10 his own language
what that Act provides"
The Grants Pass Courier says:
"Mr. Mitchell had 10 vindicate him
self Of the charges and his election 10
the seuate,by the representatives, Of lhe
people at Salem on Wednesday last
goes far to exonorate him from the
furious charges hsaped upon him by his
deadly enemy, II. w. Scott.
The Oregon Register Dem. says:
"Every Democrat that voted for him,
shoull be held strictly 10 account for
this act, aud We think that the Demo-
cratic Senator from Yamhill-Mr.
Burch, showed very poor judgment 10
voting ~ he did. The Republicans had
msjnriiy on joint ballot, and would
have elected without the aid of the
Democrats, had they remained silent."
The Ashland Tidings (Rsp.) says:
"Ts the surpriss Of most people, and
to the qualification cf large majority
Of thu Republicans aud many Democrats
ei the State, ,ex-Ssnator John II. Mitch
ell was elected on the second days bal.
lot TO another six years. term in ths
United States Senats. His electios
was expected by many, but was moi
looked for so early in the session"
The Medford Monitor lind. says:
"Wsll done, gsod and faithful ser,

office Of u. 8. senator Hon. j. II.
Mitchell, q man beloved by every citi
zen in the state bat by the in6nitesma
