There is little ground upon which SEN
ator Morton's friends a base a hope
that he will recover in time to take part
in the next session of congress, it ever.
IL ia evident that those in charge of him
have concealed his real condition, hoping
that he might ultimately recover. In a
rather sensational account of the Presi
dents interview with the great senator,
witnessed, by the way, only by his physi'
clan, he is made to say that he hopes to
live to be able to support the Presidents
wise policy. BE may have said so; there
NAV be such a thing as a valid death-bed
repentance, but judging from Mr. Nor
toms last public ntterances in Oregon g
few weeks ago, we are inclined to the
conclusion that the correspondent
who fattened his nose against a
window-pane on the outside evolved most
Of this affecting interview from his "
inner consciousness with a steady eye to
Increase Of salary and q better post than
hanging around a sick mans house.
However, if Nj. Morton should fail to be
in his sest and Spencer continues unr
liable on strict party questions the SEN
ate will be about evenly divided; and
we're it not thatHsyes has disarmed much
opposition By e conservative course and
the adoption Of measures demanded by
the whole Democratic party for the last
ten years, be might find himself greatly
embarrassed. At present it does not
appear likely that he will be OPP
posed in a captious n irsm the
Democratic side in general measures
calculated to promote the public good.
Mr.. Hayes has nothing to expect from
the extreme bitter wing of his party and
must look to the liberals in lis party and
the Democrats forthe appreciation neces'
saryto make his administration measures
effective. Without Morton in the senate
the b~loody-sbirt faction will be without q
leader, for even Blaine dared not make
the Issue in his own State convention,
Morton there as q paci6cator could by
one speech allay much of the bitterness
he created in the past and de the cOuu

may be punished and forever d~isgraced,

TIE East Tennesses University at
Knoxville entered upon its seventy-6rst
annual session on the 18th instant, under
the most favorable auspices. and with a
greater number Of students, it is believed,
than at the beginning Of any former SEES
sion in the history of the institution.
About eighty State students, furnished
with transportation, were present, and
others expected, while students entered
from various Southern States. The
university is the oldest institution of
learning in the State with perhaps U
exception Washington College, near
Jonesboro. The University dates
back to 1894, when Blouut College
was chartered by the legislature Of the
Territory of the United States South of
the Ohio river. In 1907 this gave place
to the East Tennessee College by com.
mon consent. After various vicissitudes,
including actual suspension for several
years, the college was chartered in 1910
as a University. From the autumn OF
1862 until the summer Of 1866 the college
property, which is very handsome and
beautifully situated, was used for military
purposes and was very much damaged
In the spring of 1866 a preparatory de-
