The Kentucky Legislature AGltato0
The Legislature Of Kentucky have
spent days Of talk upon the unique
question Of whether the dag Of the
nation should bs run up upon the
dome Of the capitol building, and the
Louisville Cosrisr Jo.raal discusses
'itwith great gravity, % follows:
SIT is not appropriate that the ns-
tional nag, - an emblem Of national.
ity and sovereignty, should float over
. State Legislature while In session.
AZ an, emblem the national
nag 10 too significant TO be marred by
inappropriate use, and to use il inap.
propriately simply because some one
who does not appreciate the signih-
canoe Of the symbol asks 10 to do il,
and we apprehend that If we decline
to do 1t, some one else may question
our motives, is simply to say to the
country that Kentucky 10 afraid Of
her reputation for loyalty to the
Union"
The above ought to be patented 40
. very ingenious argument to cover
up the real objections entertained to
unfurling the Stars and Stripes over
the heads Of the Kentucky Solons.
The next thing the Coxrier-J Journal
will be advocating 10 that 1t IL
inappropriate to unfurl the old flag
at Fourth of July celebration in
Kentucky should there chance to be

WASHINGTON, Jan. There 10
every indication that President Hayes
will prevent any further division of
the Republican party, by yielding up
ON pending issues between himself
and the Senate. It can be asserted
positively that no nominations will be
made for the New York Custom
House officers that Cornell and Ar
thur will be allowed to remain until
the expiration Of their terms. The
action Of the Cabinet to-day in re-
gard to Mexican matters is nothing
more than surrender Of Evarts' pet
scheme, and can be counted a. q vic
tory for Senator Conkling, whose
special committee was selected for
the express purpose Of defeating Ev-
arts intentions. Several Senators
who called upon the President yes
terday and to-day, report that he has
evidently modified his views very
much, and predict that he will not
give Republicans any further cause
for criticism. He is preparing a
special message to be seut into Con-
gress when it assemblies. which will
embrace his views on civil service re-
form, but will discuss other topics,
principal among which will be Chi
nese immigration, and he is having
daily consultations with the Californ-
10 Representatives in Congress ON the
subject.

honest gold dollar, not one that 10 ap-
preciated by the degradation Of its
constitutional co-partner the silver

can ever be found - the one that
scales the comparative value between
gold and silver when they stand on
equsl footing where the constitution,
In our judgment, placed them.
