FonsEY SuED.--The Third Auditor
OF the National Treasury, Allen
Rutherford, has commenced libel
suit against John w. Forney, laying
damages at 10000 The libel is said
to consist Of a statemcnt'in the Phila-
delphia Press that Rutherford, one Of
the Auditors, who figured largely in
the North Carolina election, had left
Washington for Philadelphia with a
carpet-bag well filed with greenbacks.
IL may be difficult to fastch the truth
Of this charge upon Rutherford, bul
every one knows that immense sums
OF money were used to control our
State election. II may be impossible
to bring the proof Of corruption home
TO the authors Of IL, and the editor OF
the Press may be'compelled to suffer
ior uttuIiug warning basrd upon what
seemed TO be reliable Information.

FoRSEY FLASKs CAMERoS.----For.
ney's course in opposing the election
Of Hartranft-though his influence
amounted to nothing-brought down
upon him tho undying hostility of the
whole Radical pack in this State
The Chairman of the Grant State
Committee, together with Cameron,
the Union League, Hartranft, Yerkes
and their partners OF the Ring, deter
mined to drive him from the party
and proclaimed that he should not be
allowed to speak for the President in
the canvass. Cameron has made two
or three journeys to Washington since
the October election for the express
purpose Of prosecuting his war upon
Forney, and assumes that the recent
success of the Republican party in
Pennsylvania is all his, work. The
members OF the Administration are
not willing TO recognize this protcn-
sion. They hold that instead of Cam.
eron saving Grant in Pennsylvania, il
was Grant who pulled Cameron and
Hartrans sqs sns S saS Ryi aJ and That
in the canvass On Monday, Forney
visited Washington and had long
interview with the President. The
latter assured him that no was not
prescribed, that no unfricndlincss need
exist between them, and that so far as
he (the President) was concerned,
their relations need not be interrupt
cd. This was entirely satisfactory TO
Forney, and a melting scene followed.
In tho meantime Camoron's feelings
cannot be made public.

LINCOLN AND CAMERoS.-Tho re-e -elee-

Pennsylvania-porhaps we ought to

some memories of his abandonment of

just now may be interesting. Judge
Black in an article somo limc ago IN
The GALAXY alluded to tho curtness OF
the note in which President Lincoln
"accepted" Secretary Camcron's "res-
ignation," without word of compli-
Dent or regret, But tho truth is, Mr..
Cameron did not resign; he was dis.
missed and Mr.. Lincoln's note &C.
ceptcd what had never been offered.
In an interview with a prominent
New York gentleman, just before the
appointment of Mr.. Stanton, Presi.
dent Lincoln gave his reasons for the
change which he had resolved to make
in tho War Department. These were,
first Mr.. Cancron's scandnlous ailila.

VIRGISTA.--In the Presidential elcc.

no part, her reconstruction not having

is impossible now TO say whether the
number of voters who have just given
their suffragcs for Grant in Virginia
is greater or smaller than hc would
have received had the citizens of that
State been able to vote four years
since. We can, however, compare
the votes of 1872 with those cast In
1869 for Governor, and this compari
son shows II great falling off for
Grant. In that election Con. Wells,

Speaking OF tho reforms TO bo
wrought by the new Constitution, tho
Age suggssts that mere Constitutional
prohibitions will no moro prevent
public wrongs than the dccaloguc pro
vents larceny; that the moral tone OF
the people must DO elevated, or the
liconsc Of the present day will never
DO curbed /; and that as soon as the
party prodting by frauds shall bo nc
tive TO punish them, frauds will cease,
and not before. "Whcn" il concludes,
"a righteous public indignation shall
blast the Governor who pardons out q
ballot -stuffcr or deliberate assassin,
then crime will cease to look Tor Im-
punity instead Of punishment. While
a system exists that makes the nd.
mihistration Of tho criminal law n
farce and a jugglc, 1t is needless, as
some propose, to put new penalties
into the Constitution; but IL can pro
vide such safeguards against the
abuse of the pardoning power that its
exercise may no longer be a public
scandal" To our mind, an improve.
ment in morals would prove more
beneficial to the State than an amend.
ed Constitution. The drayman who
puts his cart before tho horse, never
delivera many eoods. Let ,Ls ns-
chine be reversed. Rlect honest men

prove good enough for all practical
purposes.
