The presidcnt in louisville.

The Louisville Commercial in reviewing
the welcome extended by that city
to President Hayes, remarks that "nev-
er before in sixteen years have we
seen in Kentucky disposition to hail
the President Of each and all for the
good OF each and all. This is therefore
the most substantial proof we have that
tho new era has come"
In the rotunda Of the Gait House the
President was thus accosted by General
Basil W. Duke:
Mr.. PKLstDENT-I have the honor to
represent number OF gentlemen, all Of
whom were Confederate soldiers. Among
them are representatives Of every army
the South sent into the field, ard
natives OF every Southern State. They
have come 10 pay their respects to you,
and Join in extending you hearty vel
come.
They have instructed me to say that
they appreciate the manly confidence you
have exhibited in the good faith and pa.
triotic purposes OF Southern men; and
they desire TO honor you, because you
have used the powers OF your great office
to obliterate the sentiments OF the past,
to restore peace TO our common country,
and to unite It's people in common and
equal citizenship.
President Hayes replied in brief, ap.
propriate speech, after which each one OF
them went forward and shook hands with
him.
While the Presidential party wcrc in
Louisville, reporter interviewed DR..
Thompson, OF indianapolis, one Of Sen.
ator Morton's physicians, in regard to
the truth Of the various reports sent out
about the Senator's health, The CONVEX.
sAtion was as follows:
Rep.-"Doctor, many OF the friends Of
Senator Morton in Southern Indiana, are
fearful that the Senator will not recover,
as the reports are 20 conflicting. What
doyou think OF his case?'
DR.. Thompson-"1 have every reason
to expect he will recover his health as il
was before his late attack" The reasons
for this hope are as follows: Senator
Morton's last attack was not like his frat
attack OF paralysis, which originated in
the nervous cGnters. The last attack was
from what is termed in medical science,
reflex action, arising from constipation
Of seventeen days" standing, and inlam-
nation OF the bowels, which aggravated
the old disease. The Senator has full and
complete control OF his mental faculties
and his mind is as clear and vigorous "a
ever. The tone OF the stomach and bow.
els are remarkably vigorous under the
circumstances, and easily yield to ca.
thartics."
The doctor spoke in the most hopeful
and confident manner Of the Senator'S re.
coyOry.
Secretary Evarts, according to news.
paper correspondent, thinks that the
American people are tired OF politics.
They want good government aud an
efficient administration Of the laws, but
1t Is his belief, that the bulk Of the voters
care very little about party lines. In
this We judge the Secretary is quite cor.
rect There is an absence OF party feel.
ing and a very general desire that the
Administration and Congress should do
something towards expeditins the coun.
try on its road to better times. The Sec.
rotary Of State is also Of opinion that
this Administration will be memorable
in our future history as leading the way
to an era Of great prosperity.
