Ashamed of the President.

The Baltimore American and the Washing.
ton Star, both Republican journals, have be.
come severe critics of the President. The
Star has repeatedly charged him with bad faith
and bad manners, limiting even at corrupt
practices, in the Barnes Morris affair. The
American, in its issue of May 18th, says:
"Amerca must have lost much in the esteem
of nations with this spectacle of the chief ex-
ecutive finging explosives and directly or
Indirectly charging bad faith III Senators of
the United States, and with the return as
saults in true Rough Rider style by members
of the Senate. The silence of the political
colleagues of the President in this humiliating
performance is an admission that no matter
how sincere the chief executive has been in
his advocacy of the best form of a great meas
ure, his methods of attempting to attain TO his
ambition have not had the sympathy OF those
Republicans of the upper house whose names
have been household words in their party for
long years. His best friends regret that he
has not only in this matter, but also in many
other affairs of vital moment, assumed die
tatorial policy which invaded the prerogatiyes
of the Senate and i'll accorded with the ex-
allied conception that all should have Of the
relations between arms of the government
which in this republic should always act IN
harmony for the best interests of the people,
and neither bubble nor quarrel about rights
in regard to which there should never have
been the least dispute"
