t^mmH ?vumMm?mmw M?M m..? Senator Morton and tho 1'resident? Tba following edito/lal opp-wircd in tho Indianapolis Journal a few .days ago, which expYitvss Senator Morton s views upon tho <i-'./ of Republican Congress men to sustain Hayes' administration, and is deemed important at thia jihoturo, when the Senate is hesitating in ita course. The article was read to Moiton, and mot his hearty approval : - While there are few Republicans who can give a full and hearty endorsement to every ?ct and declaration made by tho President which go to make up what are known as his Southern and civil service policies, yet we have seen nothing which, taken separately or collectively, 'roula justify tho Republicans in distrusting either his patriotism or his Republican ism. There seems to bc a feeling on tho part of those who disapprove of certain nets of the President that they are better Republicans ?nd more faithful to the principles of the party than be. Such assumption does injustice, to the Presi dent. HeJa an original Republican, and has been tested for twenty yean 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 waa elec ted as a Ropublican,* and it is impossible for bini, with tho present orgauicailoij of parties, even if he should desire, to bu other than a Republican President ; not in an offensive partisan sense, but in his devotiou to the principles and desire for the perpetuity of the party. Until, it is demonstrated that he lina not this devotion and this desire, the Re publicans in Congress should not break with him in mere quest;nii? ol policy. President Hayes bas a nu iel difficult role, I and instead of receiving the unfriendly criticisms and attacks of bis party friends, he should have their support and be giv en their best and truest advice The President's paramount duty is to tho country, and if be wcro to placo'simplo party success above public interest, ho would render himself hateful to every right-minded man and infamous in his tory. We do not suppose that a ningle one of tho Republican^ who differ with him on questions of policy would ask thc President tn plain tenus ho assume such a position, and yet they do this in effect when thoy denounce his policy because of the damaging effect it may havo on tho party, without refereuco to its proba ble effect upon thc higher interests of tho country. Tho President is in tho best possible position for knowing what ought to bo dono. Ho is acting under a solemn oath, lie is moro largely respon sible than any othor living man for the consequences of his acta, und having de cided upon a certain course ns^easential to tho public welfare, that course should not bo obstructed by bis party friend^ unless !| is in piain conflict with tho principles of Republicanism, Us is cer tainly not, in his position of President tho mere creature of Congress, and should not be the mero tool of party. The day for discussion nos passed ns to the right or wrong of the Southern policy of the administration. We might not have gone to the same extent in plac ing tho South upon its honor and good behavior. We might, after what has transpired in past years, have required some protection or exacted some bond to keep the peace, but President Hayes has seen proper to accept tho assurance of the people of tho South that they will maintain law and nrotect equal right* nf nil classes, and if thoy keon faith with tho administration his Southern policy cannGt fail. The same policy might have been inaugurated at any time since the cloie of the war had tho people of these States come forward with an honest purpose and proffered the same pledges. As loug. as theso , pledges aro kept and peace maintained tho policy should be supported, and to that end we should sustain the President, in tho efforts ho ia making for peace and conciliation. When these States fail to maintain tho law and protect the equal rights of all classes wo shall expect tho pence policy to bo abandoned by the administration and a for-o policy inaugurated. Tho President was elected uuder a pledge of civil service reform. The pledge was made by his party and was fully approved and endorsed by him. Tho vote of the peoplo had been procured for ?lim upon his solemn promises, mndo in the Cincinnati platform and his letter of acceptance, that he would inaug?rate reforms demanded. He took a compre hensive survey of the whole subject. The English system of civil service?, which is substantially promotion in offieff much as we promoto iu our army ana navy, could not be safely adopted until he bad a sound starting basis and Biftcu the material at hand. In consultation with his Cabinet he laid darn throe lead ing rules: First, that ho would not re move sny faithful, competent officer without Homo cause, and would not re tain an incompetent or dishonest ono for any cause. Second, that while ho would freely ndviso with Senators and mombo rc of Congress, their recommendations should not bo imperative, and in no casa lead Lim to violate tho first and fundamental rule. Third, that any one assuming to perform the duties of a pub lie omeo and receiving ita reward should give to lb his undivided attention. Who can object to oue of theso rules? Aro they not sound and &r public good? They may work occasional hardships, as .. all general rules do, but eomo rules must be laid down and rigidly adhered to. The details for the execution of these ra?ca muai necessarily be ?eil largely io departments. The executors may, and we doubt not have, drifted intosomo pro scriptive measures which they will have to abandon. The details may not have been applied practically. It ii not likely i tho administration can control tho action cf civil officers connected with tho detail work of their party, nor do we believe there ia a necessity for any attempt to do ?''Imo. Liberty of thought and action should net be abridged because a mao happens to be in office. When a civil officer per . forma faithfully and honestly the duties imposed by bis office, thia ia. all that should be required and alt that can be 8required, and sn attempt to dictate what olitical work an officer may perform for is party must of right and neceo?:^- fail. - This will bo discovered by the President about as quickly as it will by Congress, and it is a matter of minor importance, j^-vrhieb it is childish .' to tasks sn issue. Congressional pktr?nag? may havo been abused. Wa havn no doubt it bas been ; hut it ia impossible that the President cir his Cabinet ohould know .all the applicants - for office in tho several States cr that they should know even one, ?'. good man for each of the offices tobe filled, and we know of no safer advisers in reiWtivti M> such applicants than the Senators and Members of Congress who represent tho people of localities wherein the duties of such officers at o to bo dis charged. If any Senate* or oiher should prove himself an unsafe adviser; then tho President would be ju?tined ih ignoring . him and seckiug information frora'other sonrosa ; and, In fact, be should'?oak imch Information from all sources and jmteo for himself, with all the light hs ; . can"obteIn, os to the fitness of thc appli' amt. The Republicans ia Congress should not embarrass tho administration '" by ??y s?c?ioua eyjKwitiOs to measures inaugurated or appointments made, and . should Bock to promote hanson? of the party, in! walch none are moro interested u tho President and his Cabinet, and io .--(OmiTe which they havo only to remain .?teatl?flfit Republicans, ..i ?, n.....?-y??ljpw.wi II .

Forrest. This distinguished Confederate cavalry officer dW bl tho residence of h's broth er, Colonel Jesse Forrtat, in Hem ph ix, Tennessee, on the night of tho 29th ult. Littlo ia known of Ina early history, ex cept that ht was horn In Tenncsaoe, and received only a meagre education. He came into notice ou April 6 and 7, 18G2, aa a Colonel of cavalry ut Shiloh. Again on September 4 of tho Hame year he par ticipated in an engagement near Sparta, Tenn., in the advance of General I>rag?. He passed the grade of lirigadier Gener al and waa promoted to bu n Major Gen eral December 4, 1868. Ho captured Pftducab, Ky., on April 26, 1864, having been placed in command of the Northern cavalry department under General Polk in February. His raid through Kentucky wafl a magnificent daub. Gu February 20 he fought the battle of Poutotoc and followed it up in March by the capture of Union City and Hickman, after wnich, i as above ?tated, ho started toward Pndu cah, and having been severely repulsed, finally captured the city. Ti.en followed the I'ort Pillow business, about which so much has been written. Pc rh n pa as fair a way of treating this event in Gcnurni Forrest's history would be to give hi? ex Sarto statement to a correspondent of a few Grleans journal, made on June 'A, 1860. General Forrest was described by the correspondent os a man of lino ap pearance, about ?ix feel iii height ; daru, piercing hazel eyes; carefully trimmed mustache and chin whiskers, dark as night; finely cut feat tires and iron gray huir. Iii? form waa lithe, plainly indi cating greni physical power and activity. The writer linked, after some preliminary questions : "Now thut you have time, General, do you think you will ever put upon paper the true account of the Fort Pillow uf fair?" "Well," said h?, "tho Yankees ought to know ; they sent down their best men to investigate the affair." "Hut nre wo lo believe their report, General ?" "Yes, ii we aro to believe anything a nigger Hays. When I went into thc war J I meant to fight. Fighting means kill ing. I have lott twenty-nine horses in tho war, mid hnvc killed a niau euch j time. The other day I wits a horse ahead, but ut Selma they surrounded me and I killed two-jumped my horse over a one-horse wagon ami got away." I brgnn to think I bad some idea of tho man ut last. He continued : "My Provost Marshal's book will show tb."' I have taken.'11,000prisoners during tho war. At Fort Pillow I sent in a flag of truce, and demauded an unconditional surrender, or I would not answer fo* my men. This they refused. I sent them another note, giving them one hour to determino. This they refused. I could Beo on tho river bouta loaded with troops. They sent back asking for an hour more. ? I gave them twenty minutes. I sal on :::y horne during: tho wiioie time, '?'he Fort waa Ailed with niggers and deserters ; from our army ; men who lived side by aldo with my men. I waited Ave minutes j nftcr tho tim?;, and then blew my bugle for tho charge. lu twenty minutes my men were over the works, and the firing bud ceased. Tho citizens and Yankees bad broken in the heads of whiskoy and lager beer barrels and were all drunk. They kept up firing all the time as they went dowu tue hill. Hundreds of them rushed to tho Tiver and tried to swim to tho gun-bouts, nnd my men shot them down. Thc Mississippi River was red with their blond fnr SOO yriH?. Purin?* ali this their fiag was still Aying, and 1 rushed over tho work'i and cut tho hal ?ards and lot it down and stopped the gbt. Many of the Yankees wero in tenta in front, and they wero in their way, as they concealed my men, and como of thom sot them on Aro. If any were burned ts death it waa in these touts, They have & living witness in Captain Young, their quartermaster, who ia still alive, and I will leave it to any prisoner I have ever taken if I have not treated them well." During tho remainder nf 1864 lie was engaged in about fifteen battles and skir mishes. ' He was reported to tho Rich mond government for promotion in June. 1804, end his appointment was confirmed March 4, 1865. At the end of tho wur he accepted the situation and bocamo a violont politician. Ile was a delegate from Tennessee to the D?mocratie 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, ?Vc., for words used in a speech. He finally became a grocer in Memphis. j- A lady complains of tho present male style, that there is too much collar and too littlo gentleman. - Why ls Hymen represented with a torch?-To throw a light on those little imperfections to which Lovo is blind. - He put an enemy in bis mouth tu steal away his brainB, but the enemy, af ter a thorough search, roturncd without anything. - A small child being asked hy a Sunday achoo! teacher "What the Isreai ites did after they bad crossed the Ked 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 remindo? that his aunt had paid hie debi:?, and that he should bo mozo submissive to the wishes of his rel ative- "Yea, yes, my aunt paid my cred iton, but what bas ene done for me ?" - "You soe, my dear," ho explained, "the man waa climbing tho ladder with a hodful of mortar on his shoulder.

In such cases there is no moro natural remedy than a mild cnthnrtic, one which will be sure to perform its duty without injuring the sys tem in thc least.
