MORTON PUT THAT IN.

The best joke of the season is that
told by Greneral Farusworth, in a late
speech made by him in Illinois. The
general had occasion while a member
OF Congress, to read one of the mes
sages OF the President, and in the
course of his reading he came upon
an extraordinary passage in which the
President recommended to Congress
that it should pass an act authorizing
Governor Bullock 10 reconstruct the
Legislature of his State, Georgia.
The recommendation of the President
was of such an extraordinary charac-
ter that General Ftanswor,h Went TO
see the President about it, and now
we give the Generals account of the
interview which took place:
went up to the President and
said, "Mr. ] resident, l find passage
in your message here which ] do not
understand. Will you be good
enough to to explain to me what you
mean by it," and read him the pas
sage | have read to you. The Presi-
dent took his cigar out of his mouth,
and after deliberate Whit or two,
looked it over, and and answers me
thus: "Well, I really don't know
what that does mean. MORTON
PUT THAT IN. eIGreat laughter
| Morton pnt that in The constitution
of the, United States provides that the
/ President shall annually deliver to
Congress his message, with such re-
commentators as Ire may make; but
Morton put that in did not pur-
sue my inquiry in that quarter any
farther, nor did go to Merton to ask
mm what he meant, for l did not rec
ognize his right to send his recomen-
dations to Congress through mes
sageiof the President Of the United
States IA. 'ss,,s. i;

THE woRRrxGmEN FOR GREELEY.

We do not wonder that the me-
chanics and workmen appear to be
going for Horace Greeley almost
everywhere literally, without dis.
tinction of party. 1t would lie
strange if 1t were otherwise.
Honest Horace is himself nothing
If not workingman. Everybody
knows that. He has from the DAYS
OF earliest boyhood. earned his bread
in the heaven-appointed way. by the

we believe all of them can be placed
in the same category. tIan as much

champion nepotist, or of Henry VIII
son, the almost lifelong Office beggaI
and office holder? 0'
No workingman who ever went to
Horace Greeley for counsel or aid
came away withouta a friendly hearing
Busy he might be- as busy he always
was and is-but he has ever had time
to say cheering word to his fellow,
man when the word was wanted.
Ask the printers with whom he ha
been lifelong associate-ask them
what they know about his benevo.
lence and liberal disposition, and see
what they say! And their testimony
is the testimony of every son of toil
whose fortune it is to come, or t,
have cone in contact with him.
