MoRRIsoN,s REFLECTION.

Col. MORRISON has been horizontally re-
duced by the Democratic caucus of the Hi
nois legislature. And he ought. to have
been. When honored by his party with it's
nomination, and when everything de-
manded the clOsesttattention and most skill
full genefalship on the part of the leader,
Col. MORRISON left the field at the most
critical hour and allowed the enemy to cap
ture stronghold. To dethrone him from
the position of leader of the Democratic
host was justified by every principle
of right and duty to the Demo-
cratic party. The misfortune is that
a more capable leader had not
been chosen at the outset. Mr. MORRISON
betrayed his bad generalship when leading
the Democratic members of the house of
representatives in the fight ON tariff reform;
he allowed Mr.. RANDALL, with only a
handful of Democratic protectionists, to
Outwit him at every turn, and finally to
overthrow him and his largely preponder-
ating force. While majority of the Hi
nois Democrats doubtless sympathized with
MORRISON in his tariff views, still they
should not have allowed their sympathies
to run away with their judgment, and
ought to have nominated candidate for
senator who had the ability to contend with
a trained tactician like LOGAN.

A REPUBLICAN, SOUVENIR.


The Philadelphia Times having stated
that GEORGE Ell. BUTLER, the nephew of
BENJAMIN, was in the Washington work
house, the young blood, who once figured as
an American representative in Egypt,
writes to the Times characteristic letter
in which he denies the report. He is only
in the workhouse hospital, according to his
statement. Impudence is said to be a
prominent trait in the BUTLER family, but
this relic of an old-time Republican admin
istration displays more of the cheeky quality
than has yet been credited to the family.
Instead of expressing modification for his
fallen condition, he uses the following intro
ductory paragraph to his letter:
have just moment since laid my meer-
schaum pipe on an ivory-topped, ebony
legged and inlaid sick table, thrown open my
swallows of iced orgeat to draw the blood
from my head, all these premonitory symp-
toms of apoplexy being consequent upon
reading in my favorite journal, the Times,
that ''poor GEORGE BUTLER is in the work
house again." The5paragraph is written in
a kindly vein, so I will deny it good

had nothing else to whittle. En- PEASANT, al
though don't wear a silver sheath on my
bowie knife, always wear clean stockings.
