Governor Morton and the Presi-
dencV.
From the Terra Haute Express.]

From the Terra Haute Express.J
The services of Governor Morton
were not performed In the field, but
at home, where, identifying himself
with every movement of the army, he
rendered them In SO effective man
ner that they became as essential to
the cause of the country as if he had
commanded division. Such was his
conduct towards the soldiers of our
own State, that he became a model
for the imitation of other Governors,
and by the exhibition of executive
ability, not surpassed by any of them,
has succeeded In placing himself. by
common consent, at their head. 1t is
not wonderful, therefore, that the peo-
pie of Indiana, who have watched his
course, with so much interest,
and who know him so
well, should be disposed un-
der the circumstances now existing,
to present him as their candidate for
the Presidency. That they will do so
we have no doubt; and with extraor-
binary unanimity Indiana has never
had President, while her two sister
States of Ohio and Illinois have, with

honor. We have every confidence
that, when the time arrives, they will
not withhold from the Union party of
this State that support it has so gene
rously given them, when we have all
rallied so readily in the support of
their distinguished citizens. They
can lose nothing by the support Of
Governor Morton, but the country
will gain much by his election.
In the present condition of public
affairs the National Union party will
naturally look to the North In the Sc
lection of fit standard bearer for
the approaching Presidential cam
paign, and why not take him from the
northwest? No section of the coun.
try has exhibited more loyalty or pa
triotism, or had a more honorable
share in the great work of suppressing
the rebellion No State in the north
west fell into line or stepped more

THE style of abuse to which Gen
eral SHERIDAN is SUBJECTS! just now
may be understood from the follow
ing. from the Metropolitan Record:
A fitting tool indeed is Sheridan, to carry
it into execution-a man who, born in a
Republic, would yet disgrace with his bru-
tally the iron, heartless rule of Russia.
Utterly bereft of manly feeling, tigerish in
his nature, a vandal in his instincts,
stepped in atrocity, with the memory of
his hellish deeds in the Virginia Valley
haunting him and driving him on his
merciless career, Phil. Sheridan is a curse
to the civilization of the age-one of the
monsters sprung from the black, foul,
seething pool OF Radicalism.
General PHIL. SHERIDAN will never
be forgiven by the Northern Copper
heads for his hard fighting and splen-
did victories over the rebels.

Senator WILSON'S report of his
success in canvassing the South, and
the thorough organization that exists
among the Union men of that section,
has greatly encouraged the Union
Executive Committee. at Washing
ton, to renewed exertions. Arrange
ments are being made to send some
of the strongest Union speakers of
the North through the Southern
States, to discuss the political ques-
tions of the day. Judge SHELLABAR-
GER, of Ohio, will start soon. Gov.
boutwell,, of Massachusetts, is al
ready on the stump, in Virginia. Mr.
WILSON himself contemplates an
other tour as soon as he can attend to
some affairs at home that need look
ing after. General LOGAN is also an
nounced-as one of the canvassers.
These are all excellent speakers, and
will do much towards enlightening
the public mind in that section as to
the objects of the Republican party.
A correspondent of the New York
Gazette says the license bill in Massa-
chusetts has been defeated, and that
now the prohibitonists have it all
their own way. No tavern dares to
furnish stimulents to boarder or
chance dodgers. Yet thus far the
drinking seems to be unsurpassed.
Private clubs have been formed.
Wine cellars have been filled by gen.
tlemen who have the money to pay
for it. Drunken men are visible in
the streets. Alcohol in variously con-
cocted forms glides down the throats
of Il whosoever has money enough
to obtain it by the wholesale. The
of prohibition is to be
fairly tested. IF it accomplishes
all that is claimed for it, its advocates
in the West will feel sanguine in
their views. But should
the attempt in Massachusetts prove
unsuccessful, they will, we trust, ac-
cept the fact as conclusive, and not
attempt to push matters to the ex-
tremes contemplated in the proceed
ings of their late Conventions.

THE Evansville Courier and other
Democratic newspapers occasionally
find comforting morsels in the letters
of " Hack the wandering corre-
spondent of the Cincinnati CONNER
cial, and speak of him and that pa
per as 6 undoubted Republican au-
thority." We have always under
stood that journal to claim for itself
an Independent position in politics.
and certainly its past course estab-
fishes the fact that it is not blindly
attached to the Republican party. It
does not profess to be governed by
the declaration of principles or nom-
nations of that party. 1t affects to
follow the journalistic policy of the
New York Herald, and is an Ishmal-
lite in its warfare upon parties and
public men. Neither it or the Re-
publican organization would be will
ing to accept it as an organ of the
party.

Mr.. GREELEY, in recent article in
the Tribune, in defense of his action
for the release of JEFF. DAVIS, takes
the bold ground that the conflict be-
tween the rebels and the Union was
aoar, not rebellion; and that individ-
uals engaged in it cannot, therefore,
be punished as traitors. IF this be
true, it not only ends all legal pro-
ceedings against DAVIS. but it settles
the action of the Government on a
good many other points. The loyal
people of the North are not yet ready
to accept GREELEY's, reasoning as
correct any more than they have en-
dorsed his unsolicited action in pro-
curing the release Of the arch
traitor.

THE New York Gazette asserts-as
one of the most unfortunate circum-

honorable Senator proposes to do
with the Brobdignaggian monstrosity

The Young Mems Christian Asso-
citation of New York have purchased
plat of ground, some eighty three
feet by one hundred and seventy five,
on the corner of Twenty-third Street
and Fourth Avenue, in that city, at a
cost of $4,000, upon which they de-
sign erecting a Central Building for
the use of the Association in that
city. Plans have been prepared, and
the work on the building will be
commenced soon.
THE Memphis Appeal seems to be
responsible for the story that Evans
vile recently shipped boat-load of
negro paupers to Hickman, KY, and
that the poor darkies were promptly
shipped back without a meal of
victuals. OF course the story, so far
as this city is concerned, is false from
beginning to end. IF our auth critics
had gone into the transportation,
Hickman is the last place to which
they would forward their consign-
ments.
One of the singular things in
BooTH's Diary now attracting atten-

long account of what he intended to

The Guilty Should be Punished

The beauty of our jurisprudence is only
equaled by its exact justice operating as it
does with exactness and impartiality between
contendlng parties without regard to the Pc
cuniary embarrassment of the one, or the af
duence Of the other. In.the criminal branch
of the law, it has been the boast of our gov
eminent that the guilty, without regard to
social standing, is just as amenable to the law
he violates, as the humblest citizen. High
and low-rich and poor, are distinctions I'M
known to the law. The knowledge and
learning possessed, for which a man is called
to official position, does not lift him above
and beyond the reach of law, or exempt him
from its operations. He still owes it the same
observance that he did in former times and
cannot therefore be excused for its violation.
Sanford Conover was indicted, tried and
convicted in one of the courts of the District
of Columbia, for perjury, and sentenced to
pass term of years in a prison for his crime.
Every good citizen will say amen. Perjury
is violation of the law, and knowing the
same he should suffer its penalty. Suborna-
ton ofperjury is also crime. Joseph Holt
is accused of this offense, and why, in can
dor we ask, should he not be punished ifcon-
victed upon fair investigation? Should
the perjurer languish within the dark gloomy
walls ola dungeon, and the suborner of per-
jury enjoy liberty and the confidence of his
fellows? Shall one be incarcerated for
swearing to falsehood for pay, while he,
from whom the consideration was received,
runs at large, to be feted and praised and
the majesty of the law remains humanitarian
ed Shall the dupe, the tool, only receive
the consequence of his crime, while the pow
er, the mind by whom he was duped and
used shines with briliance in the fashionable
world? Honest, fair and impartial justice
answer.

IDAHO MATTERS AT WASHINGTON OK
tract the following from letter published
in the Idaho World:
Immediately after the rejection of ]. NJ.
Murphy for Governor, Seward, Browning
and Randall sent in the name of George G.
Bates for the place. Bates is a particular
friend of Stewards. Seward holds that Bal
lard is now out of o!lice-that there is va
cancy, filled at present by the Territorial
Secretary. Bates is an able man, and not
likely to be ruled by the Radicals. Williams,
OF Oregon, insists that there must be no re-
movals in Idaho, because the present FEEDER
al appointees have been trying to build up q
Radical party and ought to be sustained for
that reason.
A man named Carpenter has been nom-
for Judge Cummins' place. He first wanted
the governorship but finally agreed to take
the Judgeship.
Kelly is here and says he is ready to ans
wer the charges which Holbrook preferred
against. him.
Gov. Weller is here practicing law. lie,
Holbrook and some others from Idaho have
signed petition for the appointment of II,
ID. Van Wyck as Revenue Collector, in
Geers place, as there is no show for Demo-
crat to be confirmed. Van Wyck is likely
to be the man.
kelly's and Howlett's cases will be attend
ed to in reasonable time. The Departments
are too much occupied in more important bu.
sness while Congress Is in session. 1t is
known that Hewlett grossly misrepresented
facts concerning the oath business of the
last Legislature, and Secretary McCulloch
will pay due attention to the case.
The snow is being fast swept from our
streets by the warm weather.

Hon. FRANK CLARK.-This gentleman we
see by the papers, is the democratic nominee
for delegate to Congress from Washington
Territory. Much has heretofore been said
concerning his abilities as lawyer and ora
tor. Left alone to form our own Judgment
concerning his fitness for the position to
which he will surely be elected we, several
years ago concluded that he possessed rare
qualifications. We have heard him before.
His Honor the court and Gentlemen of the
Jury, and also upon the stump, and with
out any personal or intimate acquaintance,
satisfied ourselves that he was the equal of
any attorney,at the bar wherever he has prac-
ticed his profession, and more than match
for the best stump speaker ever pitted a.
gainst him. Beautiful, chaste, and eloquent
he is bound to make a successful campaign,
and if by strategem, he should be defeated,
no man will fail with warmer friends, or
greater number of them. With such a stand
ard bearer, the democracy of Washington
Territory will come out of the political con-
fiict now waging, triumphant.
