II President HAYES shall move straight
along in his admirably quiet-and, to
the Conklingites, provokihg-way, turn
a"her to the right nor to the left,
ne vii! win in this fight The Constitu-
tlon makes it his duty TO appoint certain
officers of the government. The same
instrument bestows upon the Senate the
prerogstive OF advising and consenting
to these appointments The President
owes it to the country to make the best
selections IN his power; and for the char
acter of his appointments he is responsi
bic. But it is nevertheless the duty of
the Senate to carefully scrutinize tho
character of every nomination sent
in, and ii It finds III uG.
worthy one, to rejoc! it without hesits-
ton. To this the President cannot, and,
as we understand it, does not, object. he
fully and cordially comedies to the Senate
this duty. Therefore, there is no ground
for quarrel. When nomination has
been rejected. it becomes the President 5
duty to amlsbIY send another nspe in
place of the one rejected, and better
one. II the rejection is caused by tacLious
or other unworthy motives, that's the
misfortune of the Senate but 1t should
not rutiie the temper OF the President.
The only thing he mas to guard agains'
is the appearance of making removals or
appointments, 20 either reward personal
isvortes or to punish personal enemies.
Let his motives be pure and his actions
above suspicion, and he must win. In
attempting to reform the civil service of
the country, he is bat carrying out toe
letter and spirit of the St. Louis Plat
form and of Mr.. TILDEN's Letter of Ac-
ceptance, and in this the Democrat c
Senators must solidly support him.
They must vote intelligontly and con-
scientiouslv to confirm all nominations
that are good and lit to be made, and
with like intelligence and conscience to
reject all such Us should not be made,
acting upon their oaths and honor with
az eye single to the good OF the country.
But if Mr.. HAYES shall deviate from
this straight line-if he shall make re-
movals out of ill-will to Mr.. CONKLING,
OF BLAINE, or CAMERON, or any one
else, or shall make appointments to con-
ciliate any OF the recussnt Senators or
their friends; or If he shall dismiss from
MS Cabinet Mr.. EvAKTS as the price OF
Mr.. CONKLINGs support, or Mr.. SCHUKz
to modify Mr.. BLAINE and his orgar E,
then he will fall and fall beneath con-
tempt. The triumphant faction of the
Republican party will crush him. and
the Democratic party, which will be IN
the msiority in the Senate in n few
months, must stand alool from him. Mr..
HAYES success or failure is in his own
hands. An amiable and firm adherence
to the right, and he triumphs; deVia-
ton, and he is crushed.

How One Insurance Company Swai-
lowed Another.

ST. LOUIS, December 2S.-L. E. Alex
ander, receiver OF the Columbia Life In
surspce Company, has filed u petition IN
the Circuit Court which alleges that the
Lille Association of America, desiring TO
get control OF the business OF the COlum-
bia Life Insurance Company, bought up
msjority Of the Columbia stock, and
then had the old Board OF Directors OF
the Columbus resign, and flied the
places thus made vacant by persons no d
ing similar places on the Board OF the
Life Association. A list OF some 2SOO
policy holders OF the Columbia were eI-
amined by physciauS charged with that
duty, and the old und Infrm subjects
were rejected Those who were con-
sideret desirable risks were then insured
in the Lille Association, and in payment
to the Life Association tor giving rs
policies IN lieu OF the Columbia Llte
policies large list of assets was Trans
ierred from the Columbis TO the Life AS
soCiation. The same men who ordered
the transfer were directors OF the Lille
Association which received the
benefit of the assets transferred.
This is alleged to have been
done with the knowledge that the CO.
lumbia was insolveut and in expectation
of proceeding soon to be begun by the
Insurance Department to wind up the
Columbia. The prayer Is for canceIla-
tion Of the transfer OF the assets and tor
their return 10 the receiver OF the Co.
lumbia. The amount involved is about
S615 900.

One of UhandIer's Charges Denied

CHICAGO, December 28.-The Wash
ington dispatches this morning contain
ed the charge made by VIM. +. Chan
dler, in his letter attacking the admins
trstion, that while other members OF the
Louisiana Commission had received re-
wards from the President in shape OF
office, patronage etc, that Judge Z. B
Lawrence, OF TINS city was rewarded by
the withdrawal OF the prosecution against
Jake Kehm, for whisky frauds. Judge
Lawrence being interviewed to-day
characterized the charge, SO TAR as ne was
concerned, as utterly absurd. The case
was dismissed, he said, solely on
the testimony and on the repre-
,entation of the government coun'
sci. He had presented the case
to the Attorney General and Secretary
Sherman after MS return from New Or
leans, and by them it was referred to the
local officials here, but he had never
mentioned Rehms name 10 President
Hayes. 1t is proper to state that the
whole responsibility of the dismissal OF
suits rests with the u. S. Court Judges
here, and that their action was made or
the representations of the counsel tor
Rehm and for the government, and on
the decisions in similar cases at ST. Louis
made during the administration OF Pres
ldent Grant which were IN some degree
taken for precedent.
