Senator Morton ON Hayes Policy.

WASHINGTON, March 3.-Senator
Morton said last night to several Ohio
friends: l am not authorized to speak
for the President ELECT, but l venture to
say that in pursuing just and coucilia-
tory policy, it must proceed on the basis
of endorsement of the thirteenth, four
teenth and fifteenth constitutional
amendments; it must proceed upon the
basis of granting protection to life and
liberty, and the political rights of all
classes without regard to color or politics;
there can be no compromise, no peace,
which is not based upon political and
civil rights of all classes of men. When
there shall be such protection to life and
liberty, then there shall be peace and
tranquility, but not before. l have no
doubt from his utterances and lofty
character that he will do the South full
and ample justice, and endeavor as far
as possible to obliterate the past, and
blot out the hatred engendered by the
war, and that every step in that direc-
ton will be for the peace, security and
protection of all. Senator Morton, in
the course of bis speech and at the
close, was enthusiastically applauded.
The delegation then retired, the band
playing "Hold the Fort"

Fire at Sitka.
The Port Townsend Argus publishes

The Port Townsend Argus publishes
the following:
The steamer Gussie Ietair arrived
at this port on the Gath ult. from Sitka.
On her passage down she experienced
a;succession of severe gales. She brings
the intelligence that on the night of the
9th ult., fire broke out In the commits
stoned officers quarters at Sitka, which
destroyed all the houses except that of
the commanding officer. The occupants
Of the houses barely escaped with their
lites. One officer leaped out of a win
dow with child in his arms, and then
returned and rescued his wife. The
flames spread with great rapidity; the
night was very cold and the only avail
able pump was frozen. All the furni-
turs in the houses was destroyed, and
TIP officers took refuge or the Gussie,
retaining on board as long as she laid
fhbse. Mining was being carried on at
Dt4ps Greek.

The Xiv Congress.

The term OF the 44th Congress ex-
pired by constitutional limitation at
noon last Saturday. The last hours
were taken up with the usual spar
ring among the members, and in the
House with the filibustering of the
Democrats, who seemed determined
to the last to do everything in their
power to cripple the hands Of the in
coming administration and render
their own record as odious in the eyes
of the people as possible. The House
refused to pass the army appropriation
bill. This action on the part of that
body may not work any inconvenience
to the country, but if it does not, no
thanks are due the House therefor.
That body, its majority controlled by
a ring of ex-rebels, within whose
breasts no political principle is found
save that of "rule or ruin," which
they inherit from their fore fathers,
could not be expected to have any
great love for the army,-the depart
ment of government which coerced
them into an abandonment of their
high-handed treason only few years
ago. To an attentive observer of
Congressional events during the ses-
sion of the 44th Congress, there ought
to be no doubt that the majority Of
the Southern leaders have but little
love for the Union as it exists since
the war, with its constitutional amend
ments and the record of reconstruc-
ton made by the Republican admins
tration. If the Senate had been of
Democratic complexion, there is no
telling to what length Congress would
have gone in it's efforts to undo the
work of the past sixteen years. The
county is to be congratulated that
the rubicon is passed, and that affairs
are in no worse condition than they
are. The 45th Congress will be
nearly equally divided politically,
but with Gov. Hayes in the Presi-
Dental chair, and the true and able
statesmen whom he will call to his
cabinet, the prospect for an era Of
prosperity is brighter than ever be-
fore since the war.

engineer, with letter to the president
of the road. He closed that letter thus:
"My views of the Pacific road are,
perhaps, peculiar. look upon its man
ayers as trustees of the bounty of Con-
gress. You are doubtless, in
formed how disproportioned the amount
to be paid is to the work contracted for.
I need not expatiate on the sincerity of
my course, when you reflect that have
resigned the best position in my profess
ion this country has offered to any man.

simply to feed those afflicted, copperas;
a spoonful of which will cure the worst

plan is adhered to the disease never
