service reform, as ct present contem-
plated, a magnificent delusioui that he
did not expect to live to see one lota OF

confidence in that great soldier (mesn-
ing Grant than be had in other carpet
bageers who had gone South That is

That,rotten specimen Of humanity,
known IS Senator Morton, franticaily
declaims against amnesty. He does not
tb;rk the prescribed men Of the South
should be allowed to- return TO public
life. We do not suppose that any one
who knows this corrupt advocate OF o
corrupt government, has ever given HIM
credit for entertaining an honest senti-
mentS tits not. probable that if probed
to whatever vitality he has, he would be
found to care whether the South should
sink into the ocean, or whether 1t should
move on with chains on its limbs to the
and of time. He has rele to play, and
he plays it with consummate ability.
When he has no real hate, he can impro-
wise il to suit his master. He Is the
mare slave of man who yaunts of the
fact that he liberated four million slaves.
Perhaps history will record the addi-
tional fact that in iberating one set
Of. men he enslaSed apotheri that
in liberating the black man, be en-
shaved the white man. How poor,
how mean, how miserable appears
this rotten Morton in contrast with the
noble, manly Thurman Every inch q
man, and to all the extremeties Of his
body and mind gentleman, he put to
utter shame this Indiana demagogue
and hired defender Of that which, in any
age of the world possessing the slightest
claim to virtue, would be defenseless-
Thurman can discover something noble
in a people who struggled four years for
a principle" Morton can see nothing
hut atfeason in them. Thurman can
sympathize with a people who, to vindi-
cate what they regarded as right,
fought themselves into poverty. Nor
ton has no sympathy, but would scalp
every Southern man Of prominence and
fling his body to the vultures. This is
the character of the champion of Grant
in the Senate, and the Instrument that
strikes the key note Of American des-
x,of;af,

: The Democratic organization prevented

Liberal Republican paper, says: There
were the elements in Columbus to defeat
Sherman, but the Democratic organiza-
ton prevented their fusion. There are
the elements in this country to defeat
Grant but the Democratic organization
will not permit that result to be at
