Washington dispatches of yesterday said:
"The President was informed last evening
that it was useless to send to the senate NOM
nations that are inimical to a majority of
that body, as they would not be confirmed
Suppose the President should take the posi-
ton that he would not send in a nomination
of any person who was not in favor of the
policy of the administration, how would the
public interests be affected by such a course
under the tenure of Office act? That act has
summarily elected large number of office
holders from place, and the business of the
government in such cases must be left to
take care of itself, unless the heads of de-
partments take the responsibility of making
unauthorized temporary appointments. For
taking such responsibility under similar
circumstances Secretary McCulloch was de-
nounced a few days ago in the senate by
Chandler and Summer in language so coarse
and vituperative that Senator Sherman said
at was false, ungentlemanly, supplementary,
and such as ought not to have been uttered
in the senate" The senate of the United
States has never before taken the position
that it would not confirm the appointments
of men who were political opponents of the
majority in that body. 1t has been conceded
that it was the privilege of the President to
make appointments from among those sus
tanning his political policy Chicago Times

the dire fury ofits Sender, came whirling full
upon the bold front of the victim, and he fell
prone to EARTH a battered bureau.
His comrades, seeing missiles with such
ruin fraught and sure discontinue, begin to
fly, began to flee, all save their New England
leader, the High Priest, who shouted in nasal
accents the command TO charge Just then
pistols were brought into general use, and
(it is thought that the twang with which he
gave his orders called attention to that organ)
the big bureau was shot through the nose
This conflict occurred about eleven O'clock
at m ght. 1t is but twelve miles from Mich

the personal presence of all the bureau in

that none were actually slain.

Your readers, Messrs Editors, viii proba-

understad how perfectly il illustrates the con-
tumacious rccusancy onthe Kentucky people,

The New Orleans Times thus measures
the standard of those who were the Union
men in times which ''tried mems souls" IN
comparison with the present shriekers fot
negro rights, confscation and military des-
qotism: s.7e ~..--
"Whch the real fight was going on here
between secession and Union, and it involv-
ed no little responsibility and danger to
avow Union sentiments. the small number
who ASSUMED that responsibility and en-
countered that perl, were, and sre now,
well known to our whole community. They
We're not the fellows who now p1ate SO feel
ingly OF their prosecutions. These were
then in full communion with the Confed-
crates, figuring in Southern rights associa-
tions, On vigilance committees, parading
the streets In the ranks OF the Confederate
guards, or making speeches at fas presenta-
tiOns to companies enrolling for the rebel
army But the real, original and atwa-s
consistent Union men WHO are they and
how have they faxed at the hand o. this
proscriptive people? There is the vener-
able Jacob Barker the fiercest and msot ac-
tive denUuacer Of secession when that
measure was first carried Has he suffer
ed in fortuue or feeling, or in the respect
of his fellow citizens by reason of his I'm
icnism? Have those distinguished mem
bers of the bar, RosGlits, Roster, Fellows,
Durant, Horror and others, felt the hand
of proser:p ptien en- account of their adher-
ence to the Union So fer from il these
gentlemen have all greatly prospered have
increased their business instead Of suffer
ing any diminution on account of their OBJ

of talent, of capacity and honesty, and
have been employed for those qualities
And SO it will be with all others Of like
qualities among an honest and enlightened
people. And so, TOO, .hoss who Faye no
