But the London Consulate, now erected into a
Consulate General. ia an Office of no common i'm
portance. 1t ought TO be filed. for its own
sake, by man of decided abilities
abilities such as Mr.. Morse's friends would
hardly claim for him. Then, if nominations to Offices
are infiuenced-and perhaps may assume they some
times areby political Considerations, it is difficult
to see exactly what Mr.. Morses claims are. He was
believe, good second rate Congressman from
Maine. He also and u.s. q devoted adherent Of
the leader most conspicuous among the Seven against
Impeachment, to whom his appointment was org-
nally DUE His fidelity to Mr.. Fessenden is
doubtless recognized by that gentleman's
continued advocacy of his retention. But unless
adherence to Mr.. Fessenden be better qualification
than adherence to party one is at loss to know in
what Mr.. Morse's claims now consist. 1t might be
supposed that eight years tenure of about the most
lucrative Office in Europe would have already re-
warded sufficiently his services in Congress. 1t may
be more difficult to estimate the sum which would
entirely compensate man for so long follow
ing the personal fortunes Of the Senator from
Maine. / say nothing about the fortune Dir.
Morse Is believed to have made by commercial enter
prses on his own account during his consular ser
vice. On that point have no other knowledge than
common report. II report ldoes him injustice Mr..
Morse will be glad of opportunity to deny that he
is or, during his consulate, has been owner in
whole or in part, in fact in law of ships sailing
under the British flag But whatever aid to his
party no may have given formerly in America can
scarcely be so great as the injury he did to the
country by his Johnsonsm during the last four years
in London In the struggle between the people and
the President, Mr.. Morse was always
Oh Mr. Andrew Johnsons side. We had
good many other European officials
who were. and who lost no opportunity to pervert
European opinion, especially by attacks upon Con-
gress and the Republican majority in Congress. 1t
seems to me this is good time for such men to go
home and refresh their knowledge Of domestic
affairs. Since Gen. Grants election last November
there has been some remarkable convictions among
these gentlemen: still it unfair to deny them
the opportunity of such complete regeneration as
a residence in the wholesome air of America might
effect. q. W. g.
