Senator Morton and the President. ??2.' The following editorial appeared it. the Indianapolis Journal a few days ngo, ;which expresses Senator Morton's views upon the duty of Republican Congress? men to sustain Hayes' administration, and is d-eemed important attbis juncture, when the Senate is hesitating in its course. The article was read to Mo::tou, and met his hearty approval: While there are few Republicans who can give a full and hearty endorsement i ? ta every *ct and declaration made by the ^President which go to makeup what are know a as his Southern and civil sei vice policies, yet we have seen nothing which., taken separately or collectively, would justify the Republicans in distrus/ing either his patriotism or his Republican? ism. There seems'to be a feeling or. the part of those who disapprove of certain acts of the President that they are batter Republicans and more faithful -to the principles of the party, than. he. ?Such ' assumption does, injustice, to the Presi- j dent. He is an original Republican, and has been tested for twenty years as"a sol-' . dier and civilian, and. has never wavered or has been found wanting in his devo? tion to the great fundamental doctrines of the Republican party. He was oiec ted as a Republican, and it is impossible for him, with the present organization of parties, even if he should desire, to be other than a. Republican Presidentnot ' in an offensive partisan sense, but ill his" devotion to the principles and desire for the"perpetuityof theparty. ; , - Until, it as demonstrated that hij has not this devotion'and this desire, th.s Re? publicans in Congress should not break' I with him in mere questions, of policy. President Hayes has a most difficult; rofy and instead of receiving ;the,nnfri^dly., criticisms and attacks of his party friends,; he should have their support and be giv- ] en their best and truest advice. The .. President's paramount duty is to the '-' ^country, and if he were to place's:mple party success above public interefvi, he would render- himself hateful"to.-'.every ?right-minded man and infamous irfhis . tory. We do not suppose that Mingle one of the Republicans who differ with him bn questions of policy would af t .the President in plain terms to assume such a position, and yet they do this in effect I when they denounce his policy because of the damaging effect it may have on the party, without reference to its proba? ble effect upon the higher intere-ts of I the country. The President is ia the best possible position for knowing what ought to be done. He Is acting under a solemn oath. He is more largely respon? sible than any other living man for the v. consequences of his acts, and having de? cided, upon ascertain course as^ess-.intial . ? to the public welfare, that course should not be obstructed by. his. party; friends, onless it is in plain conflict with-the principles ofRepnblicanism. He ii cer . tainly not, in his position of President, the mere creature of Congress, and should not be the mere tool-of party. 'K\ The day for discussion has pas: 2d as to the right; or . wrong of the Sotilhern "policy of the administratioh. We ?lighf not have gone to the same extent in plac? ing the South upon its honor and good behavior. We might, after, what: has transpired in past years, have required some protection or exacted some bead to keep the peace, but President Hay03 has seen proper to accept the assurance of | the people of the South that the' will maintain law and protect equal rights of! all classes, and it they keep faith with the administration his Southern policy cannot fail. The same policy might have been inaugurated at any time ?nce the close of the war. had the people of j these States come forward with an honest purpose and proffered the same pledges. Egs-As long as these pledges are kepS and peace maintained the policy shou \ be supported, and to. that end we should sustain the President, in the efforts he is making for peace and conciliation.? When these States fail to maintain the law and protect the equal rights of all classes we shall expect the peace policy to be abandoned by the administration and a force policy inaugurated. The President was elected under a pledge of I civil service reform. * The pledge was made by.his part r and was fully approved and endorsed by him. The vote ot the people had been pro ured for him upon his solemn promises, made in the Cincinnati platform and his letter of acceptance, that he would inaugurate reforms demanded. He took a compre? hensive survey of the whole subject. The English system of cfvil servio which is substantially promotion in offic much as we promote in our army navy, could not be safely adopted' 'antil he had a sound starting basis and sifted the material at hand. In consultation with his Cabinet he laid down three lead- j ing rules: First that he would v t re- 1 move any faithful, competent officer 1 without some cause, and would not re? tain an incompetent or dishonest one for any cause. Second, that while he v ould freely advise with Senators and members of Congress, their recommendations should not be imperative, and in no case lead him to violate the first and fundamental rule. Third, that any one assuming to perform the duties of a pub? lic office and receiving its reward should ; give to it his undivided attention. Who can object to one of these rides? Are they not sound and for public good? They may work occasional hardships, as all general rules do, but some rules must be laid down and rigidly adhered to. j The details for. the execution of these rules must necessarily be left largely to departments. The executors may., and j we doubt not have, drifted into som 3 pre? scriptive measures which they will have to abandon. The details may not have been applied practically. It is not ' ikely ' the administration can control the action of civil officers connected with the detail work of their party, nor do we believe there is a necessity for any attempt to do 60. Liberty of thought and action should not be abridged because a man happens to be in office. When a civil office.': per? forms faithfully and honestly the duties imposed by his office, this is all! that should be required and all that can be required, and an attempt to dictate what political work an officer may perform for his parly must of right and necessity fail. This will be discovered by the President about as quickly as it will by Congress, and it is a matter of minor importance, upon which it is childish to make an issue. Congressional patronage may have been abused. We have no doubt it has been; but it is impossible that the President or his Cabinet should know all the applicants for office in the several States or that they should know even one good man for each of the offices to be filled, and we know of no safer advisers in reference to such applicants than the Senators and Members of Congress who represent the people of localities wherein the duties of such officers are to be dis? charged. If any Senator or other should frove himself an unsafe adviser, then the "resident would be justified in ig coring him and seeking information from other sources; and, in fact, he should seek such information from all sources and jndge for himself, with all the light he can obtain, as to the fitness of the appli? cant. The Republicans in Congress should not embarrass the administration by any factious opposition to measures inaugurated or appointments made, and should seek to promote harmony of the party, in which none are more interested' than the President and his Cabinet, and to secure which they have only to remain steadfast Republicans. He had not slept a wink for twenty four hours, coughing all the time. His . sister bought a 25 cent bottle of Dr. Bull's Cough Syrup at the nearest drug store, Save him a dose, and the cough was roken at once and he slept quietly dur? ing the night. Death of General V. B. Forrest. This distinguished Confederate cavalry officer died at the residence of his broth-, er, Colonel Jesse Forrest, in Memphis, Tennessee, on the night of the 29th ult. Little is known of his early history, ex? cept that he was born in Tennessee, and received only a meagre education. He .came into notice on April 6 and 7, 1862, as a Colonel of cavalry at Shiloh. Again on September 4 of the same year he par? ticipated in an engagement near Sparta, Tenn., in the advance of General Bragg. He passed the grade of Brigadier Gener? al and was promoted to be a Major Gen? eral December 4? 1863. He captured Padqc?h, Ky., on/April 26, 1864, having been placed in command of ihe Northern cavalry department under General Polk j in February. His raid through Kentucky was a magnificent dash. On February 20 he fought the battle of Pontotoc and followed it up in March by the capture t>f Union City and Hickinan, after which, as above stated, he started toward Padu -cah, .and having been severely repulsed, finally captured the city. Then followed the Fort Pillow business, about which so much has been written. Perhaps as fair a way of treating this event in General Forrest's history would be to give his ex parte statement to a correspondent of a New Orleans journal, made on June 3, 1865. General Forrest was described by the correspondent as a man of fine ap? pearance, about six feet in height; dark, piercing hazel eyes; carefully trimmed mustache and chin whiskers, dark as night; finely cut features and iron gray hair. His form was lithe, plainly indi? cating great physical power and activity. The writer asked, after some preliminary questions: **2?ow"that yoa have time, General, do you think you will ever put upon paper the true account of the Fort Pillow af ,fair?" "Well," said he, "the Yankees ought to know ;; they sent down their best men to investigate the affair." ?"But are we to believe their report, General?" "Yes, if we are tu believe anything a nigger says. When I went into the war I meant to fight. Fighting means kill? ing. ! I have lost twenty-nine horses in the war, and have killed a man each time. The other day I was a horse ahead, but at Selma they surrounded'me ..and'I killed two?jumped my horse over a one-horse wagon and got away."^ I began to think I had some idea of the man at last. He continued: "My Provost Marshal's book will show that I have taken 31,000 prisoners during the war. At Fort Pillow I sent in a flag of truce, and demanded an unconditional surrender, or I would not answer for my men. This they refused. I sent them another note, giving them one hour to determine.. This they refused. I could see on the river boats loaded with troops. They sent back asking for an hour more. I gave them twenty minutes.. I sat on my h?ree 'during th?r whole time. The Fort was filled with niggers and deserters from onr army; men who lived side by aide with my men. I waited five minutes .after the time, and then blew my bugle for the charge. In twenty minutes my ' men were over the works, and the firing I had ceased. The citizens and Yankees had broken in the heads of whiskey and ! lager beer barrels and. were all drunk. They kept up firing all the time as they ! went down the hill. Hundreds of them rushed to the'river and tried to swim to the gun-boats, and my men shot them down. The Mississippi River was red with their blood for 300 yards. During all this their flag was still flying, and I rushed over - the works and cut the hal? yards and let it down and stopped the fight. Many of the Yankees'were in tents in front, and they were in their way, as they concealed my men, and some of them set them on fire. If any were burned to death it was in these tents. They have a - living witness in Captain Young, their quartermaster, who is still alive, and I will leave it to any prisoner I have ever taken if I have not treated them well." ? During the remainder of 1864 he was engaged m about fifteen battles and skir? mishes.' He was reported to the Rich? mond government for promotion in June, 1864, and his appointment was confirmed March 4, 1865. At the end of the war he accepted the situation and became a violent politician. He was a delegate from .Tennessee to the Democratic Na? tional Convention in New York July 4, 1867. During the campaign he made a number of speeches in Tennessee on politics. He challenged General Kilpat rick, denouncing him as a liar, scoun drei, &c, for words used in a speech. He finally became a grocer in Memphis. .? A lady complains of the present male style, that there is too much collar and too little gentleman. ? ?

A small child being asked by a Sunday school teacher "What the Isreal ites did after they had crossed the Red Sea ?" answered, "I don't know, ma'am, but I guess they dried themselves." ? A good repartee is told of a young man who was reminded that his aunt had paid his debts, and that he should be more submissive to the wishes of his rel? ative. "Yes, yes, my aunt paid my cred? itors, but what has she done for me ?" ? "You Bee, my dear," he explained, "the man was climbing the ladder with a hodful of mortar on his shoulder. Just as I passed nnder it he slipped, and the whole contents of the bod came down on my head." "How ridiculous you must have looked V she remarked. "On the. contrary, my dear, I was sub-lime." ? "What would be your notion of absent-mindedness ?" asked a lawyer of [ a witness whom he was cross-examining. I "Well," said the witness, "I should say that a man who thought he had left his ; watch at home, and took it out of his ' pocket to see if be had time to go home and get it, was absent-minded." ? Virtne without graces is like a rich diamond unpolished?it hardly looks better than a common pebble; but when tbe hand of the master rubs off the roughness and forms the sides into a thousand brilliant surfaces, it is then that we acknowledge its worth, admire its beauty and long to wear it on our bosom. ? According to tbe Worcester Prm, the announcement that Lydia Thomp? son's blondes carry a "mountain of trunks" will be received with some sur? prise by the bald-headed man who sits in a front orchestra chair, and believes that the girls have their costumes forwarded by postal card. ? The unpublished life of Gen. Grant, Witten by bis father, Mr. Jesse R. Grant, is in the possession of the Connecticut State Librarian. This manuscript gives a new version of the way in which young Grant got his name of Ulysses; it says that the name was one of a lot drawn from a hat when his parents were debating what to call him. ? A milkman was lately seeking the aid of the police to trace the whereabouts of a family who had left the neighbor? hood owing him eighteen dollars. "Well, I suppose there was nine dollars' worth of water in that milk account," re? marked the policeman. "That's where it galls me?that's where it hurts," re? plied the dealer. "They were new cus? tomers, and I hadn't commenced to water the milk yet." ? A gentleman on praising the charms of a very plain woman before a sarcastic flirt, the latter whispered to him, "Why don't you lay claim to snch an accom? plished beauty ?"#,"What right have I to her?" said the gentleman. "Every right, by the law of nations, as the first discoverer J" replied the flirt.

ROMAINE GOLD, so extensively worn in Paris, was first discovered in 1870, by the celebrated French chemist, M?ns. D. Be Lalnge, who manufactured it into jewelry, and for five years sold It to the leading jewelers of Paris for Solid Gold. In 1875, when his secret became known, ten of the manufacturing jewelers established a stock company, with a capital of $10,000,000 for the purpose of manufacturing romaine GOLD JEWELY AND WATCHES. With this immense capital, and the aid of improved machinery they are enabled to produce aU the latest patterns of jewelry at less than one-tenth the cost of Solid Gold, and of a quality and color which makes it impossible even for experts to detect it from the genuine. We have secured the exclusive agency of the United States and Canada, f?r the sale of all goods manufactured from this metal, and in order to introduce them in the most speedy manner, have put up assorted sample lots as given below, which we will sell at one-tenth the retail value until January 1st, 1878.

When the resources of nature have become retarded, no matter from what cause, it is then quite time to help the Liver and Spleen, and other organs, to perform their thorough duty?or we shall soon be quite ill.' In such cases there is no more natural'remedy than a mUd cathartic, one which will be sure to perform its duty without injuring the sys? tem in the least. Such, let ?i> say in all. candor, is Simmons' Hepatic Compound. It will gently move the bowels, without irrita? ting them in the least; when the medicine works, the bowels are soothed and healed like a charm?yet the medicine is more ef? fective than, calomel: one of the principal* ingredients possess all the good qualities of that poisonous drug, without any of its con? stituents. A dose of Simmon-/ Hepatrj Compond every night on going to bed, wLl infallibly restore health. The importance of this treatment cannot be over-estimated, and it should be tried by all means.
