GENERAL LoNasrEEr- Tho New York
Tribune deprecates the argument against
the confirmation of General Longstreet
(since confirmed) as collector OF customs at
New Orleans. 1t says: He will do his duty;
he will serve the country, and no public in
terest VIZ. be injured by his holding this
Office. That is the practical consideration.
A higher thought is, that by the confirma-
tion of General Longstreet, nothing remains
OF the past rebellion but bitter memory.
The duty of the present is peace and
loyalty. If you intend to keep the dark me-
mories alive, you will invoke the vengeance
OF the Government; if you mean to forget
the past and accept the responsibility of the
present, assisting the restoration of the
Union, and giving to the Constitution and
the laws sincere and earnest support. then
you are our fellows in citizenship, and share
with us the blessings of the Union.

Gov. HAYES has appointed the fol
lowing gentlemen as Assistant GeoIo-
gists for the state:
Prof. E. B. Andrews, of Marietta Col
lege;
Prof. Edward orion, of Antioch Col
lege;
Hon. John H. Klippart, Secretary of
the State Board of Agriculture,
These are all excellent appointments,
and have been made, as we have rea-
son to believe, solely with a view to
thorough, efficient and practical work.
J. ). NewberFy, hid, who stands
at the head of the corps, is recognized
as one of the abIest and most expert
enced practical biologists in the coun-
try. His appointment. has been con-
frmed by the Senate and his commits
sion issued.
Prof. e. B. Andrews stands number
n in experience, ability and reputa-
ton as a scientific geologist, and will
be a most efficient and worthy compee
of Prof. Newberry. He has been ex-
tensively employed by various railroad
companies of Southern Ohio in survey
ing the local geology along their re.
spective routes, and in this wayhas &C.
quired a large amount If information
which viii be of the utmost value to
the general survey.
Prof. Orion has had practical expert
ence in the geological surveys of other
States, and, with scientific ability, has
the youth, vigOr and enthusiasm which
qualify him in an eminent degree to
be an active and efficient member of
the corps. ?.
MI. K1ippart is wen known to the
peopleof the state, and is probably the
best man who could be found to take
charge of the agricultural department
of the survey. His long and careful
study of the agriculture of Ohio, his
rare scientific attainments, and his ex-
tensive travels and observations in for
eign countries, all combine to make his
s~electionan admirableone for the work
assigned him.
We understand DR.. Newberry de-
signs completing the organization OF
the corps, and other preliminary pre-
parations, in time to commence field
work by the first of June. He hopes
to elicit practical results before the
close Of the season which viii demon.
strate beyond all question the great
utility of his undertaking in bringing
to light the yet unexpIored resources
of the State. The States Of Michigan
and Indiana have each, we believe.
provided for a re-survey, to be, eontem-
poraneous with our own, and which
viii OPPORTUNITY furnish a most valu-
able geological Knowledge Of adjacent
territory.
We hope the work in our own State
may proceed with the least possible de-
lay, and be prosecuted with the utmost
vigor,

profound theOlogian mentioned does
not deny.

we never "proposed'' to tell the readers
