Senator MOrIon'S Views ON the

tons views on the duty Of Republican
members Of Congress, having been read
TO him and received his hearty approval
and embracing his ideas:
While there are few Republicans who
can give full snd hearty endorsement
to every act aud declaration made by the
President which go TO make up what are
known as his Southern and civil service
policies, yet we have seen nothing which,
taken either separately or collectively, to
Justify the Republicans in dslru-ling
either his patriotism or his Republican.
ism. There seems TO be feeling Oh the
part Of those who disapprove ol certain
acts Of the President that they are better
Republicans and more faithful TO the
principles Of the party than he. Scch
assumption does injustice 10 the Prcsi-
dent. He is an original Republican aud
has been tested for twenty years as a
soldier aud civilian, and has never wayer.

votion 10 the great fundamental
doctrines Of the Republican party.
lie was elected as Republican, and it
is impossible for him, with the present
organization Of parties even il he should
desire, TO be other than Republican
President, not in au Offensive partiaan
sense, but in his devotion to the princi-
pies and desire for the perpetuity Of the
Republican party, Until II l. demon
Strated that he has not this devotion and
this desire the Republicans in Congress
should not break with him on mere
questions Of policy. President Hayes
has a most difficult role, and instead
Of receiving the uniriendly criticisms and
attacks Of his party friends he should
receive their support and be given their
truest and best advice. The Presidents
paramount duty is 10 the country, ard II
he were TO place simple party success
above public interest he would render
himself hateful to every right minded

suppose a single one Of the Republicans
who differ with him on QuestiOns Of pol,

terms to assume such position; and yel

Attempt 10 WRECK a T'raIu.

ST. LOUIS, October GA most dia-
bOlical attempt was made at an early hour
this morning TO wreck train on the Ohio
4 Mississippi Railroad, but luckily no
lives were lost. When the passenger
train which left Cincinnati last night
reached point J miles east Of Noble,
Illinois, ITO miles from here, about i've
o'clock this morning, 1t encountered q
rail, one end Of which was elevated about
foo! high, and the whole train, consist.
ing Of an oyster car, mail, express, bag
gage, two passenger coaches and three
Sleepers, was thrown from the track. The
oyster car was smashed and all the other
cars were more or less injured, but not
passenger was hurt. Examination showed
that the rail had been elevated with g
jack screw, and that the implement was
left under il to keep II up; also that the
rail opposite had been loosened and
turned 80 the train would be thrown into
two cattle guards close by, but fortunate
ly il took the other direction, and the
cars plunged into the soft ground in the
shallow cut and prevented what other
wise would have been a frightful disaster;
for had the train run into the cattle
guards the cars would, no doubt, have
been telescoped and terrible loss Of life
would have been the result.
The tools with which the deveIish deed
was done were taken from the section
house near BY, and the act was, no doubt,
done by q railroad hand. The theory is
that the fendish act was done By one or

says that the Commission met Sitting Bull
and utterly failed 10 obtain any SatisiaC.

Ing an interview 10 take place, they fear
Ing some trap was about to be sprung
upon them, he describes Sitting Bull "a a
swarthy, black-haired, beardless, pure
blooded savage, with an air OF judicial
gravity and intelligence, and he contin-
uall y Tears treAchery on the part OF the
Americans and distrusts his own tribe
when they are near. He refused 10 shake
hands with the Commissioners, and said
he wanted them 10 set out in full view
and not behind the tables.
They complied, and General Terry ad-
dressed them, stating the object Of the
visit namely, that The President wished
hOstilitie. to cease forever for the sake OF
all parties, Itlhc Indians would return
and refrain from hostile acts against the
United States government, free pardon
would be given for all past acts. No ut.
tempt would be made to punish them, and
the past would be forgotten. This the
President promised. lie went on TO say
that all other hostile Indians had now
surrendered 10 the United States au uthori.
tieS and had received no punishment
whatever, but had been received az friends.
They had received or would receive the
proceeds Of the sale Of their horses and
arms, had been presented with cows, and
otherwise received honorable and Just
treatment The same terms were offered
to Sitting Bulls people.
The savage warrior smiled broadly al
the mention Of surrender. The speech
produced no effect. The offer Of peace
was rejected. The council broke up and
the Commissioners turned their facee
homeward.
