MORTON AGAM.


The Pittsburgh Dispatch says; Oliver
p. Morton ia as shrewd as he is insincere,
No one who has ever seen Morton, or
heard him talk, can doubt that he has a
powerful intellect. He has moro brains
by far than Blaine-is, in fact, mentally
immeasurably superior TO that distin.
guished person-but he has not half of
Blaine'saudacit perhaps not his straight
forwardness. Once Blaine enters upon q
given line, danger ahead means but as
surance that he will stick to it. Morton,
on the contrary, trims and veers off to
another course whenever he fancies that
trouble lies before him. ..,I ...i.
Just see Mr.. Morton's position now to.
ward president" Hayes. Morton, even
more than Blaine, represented the type
of politician who wanted 10 lmaintain an
iniquitous system of civil service by 70.
menting disorder and making II q ma
tional excuse. Morton was the man who
brought successive" "outrages" before Con-
gress every year to have them investiga-
ted at the election time; who superinten-
ded the production of elaborate commit
tee reports; who for a long time was po-
tential under President Grant in South
ern affairs, yet never caused Southern
ruflian to be imprisoned or hung, or in
any wise put the scandalous proceedings
in the South to other purpose than polit-
ical capital. He was opposed to Hayes,
He was antagonistic to everything that
looked toward peace and harmony re-
stored. In Pittsburgh, two years ago,
while making sound speech on the
finances, he tried to wave the "bloody
shirt" SO conspicuously above every other
issue, that a good many Republicans left
the hall. Until within couple of dGys
the country supposed Mr. Morton was
still on that side-but that notion is now
disrelled. While Blaine will not see
that Hayes has the country with him,
Morton has discovered it, and he is now
out in two column letter indorsing
Hayes in beautifully swelling periods.
The Dispatch seemsto have studied the
character as fully as Milton, the poet, did
that of the fallen angel we read and hear
so much about. This Morton is also 'trai-
tor angel for he formerly was Demo-
crat, He bitterly opposed negro suffrage
as a Republican, and then became low
ing negrophobist He was leading ad-
vocate of more greenbacks" and bound
less expansion; but, in due time, like
Sherman, skipped around on the side Of
the bondholder, abandoned his former
views and position as coolly as any sour
Wy, unprincipled politician.
We are not disappointed now in seeing
this radical leader seek TO maintain his
leadership. His long letter is only to
please the Hayes administration, that he
may continue to lead. There can be no
integrity in such a cavorting character.
He is political hack and desperate, as
malignant as a viper and regardless of
consistency. No such man can really
help and promote good cause. He may
be important to bad cause, and be
useful instrument therein.
The Dispatch is in error in claiming
the country is with Hayes. The honest
people of the country cannot forget that
Mr.. Hayes was not elected President, and
that circumstance vitiates all his acts,
however good they may otherwise be.

A LETTER dated May 26th, 1877, from
President Hayes to Secretary John Sher.
man, in which the former prescribes
rules for the government of his office
holders, says:
"No officer should be required or per-
mitted totake part in the management
Of political organizations, caucusses, con-
ventions or election campaigns. Their
right to vote and express their views on
public questions, either orally or through
the press is not denied, provided it does
not interfere with the discharge Of their
Official duties" liI g3u 1&
This is jumble hard to understand.
Mr.. Hayes says no offices should be "per-
mitted to take.part in the management
of election campaigns" then their right
to vote, to write for the newspapers, to
make stump speeches, &C., is not to be
denied. How kind and gentle.

THE terrible example which is to be
made of thirteen of the Mollie MaguireS
by hanging, on the 2lst inst, in Carbon
and Schuylkill counties, Pa, is the rem
dering of Justice to small portion of q
gang of murderers after all other means
have failed. Some Of them have been
tried and re tried, and all of them have
had the leniency and privileges of the
law extended to them so far as possible
The work of bringing them to justice is
due to the efforts of Franklin Gowan
and the Reading Railroad Company
who still employ detective force to
single out the actual criminals who have
been engaged in the crime of murder in
the anthracite coal region for the last
tea years. The gang numbers many

AT the beginning of the reign of the
Emperor Nicholas, a noble Russian lady
gave birth to son for whom suitable
wet nurse could not be found. A young
nobleman, neighbor, however, offered
one of his serfs. The offer was accepted,
and the child's life was saved. The
young nobleman said, Madam, you owe
me the life of your son, and, hope you
will, in return, grant me favor" What
the nobleman asked for is not known,
but, whatever it was, it was refused. He
threatened to take back his serf, and the
mother appealed to the highest tribunal
of Russia Nicholas died, and Alexan-
