THURSDAY, JANUARY 22, 1574.
riy Wk public elsewhere, in this week'
paper, the correspondence touching the
withdrawal of Caleb Cushing's nomination
lor the Chief Justiceship, from the Senate.
Vv'e regret that this withdrawal was rendered
noecssarv. for we arc satisfied that a better
selection for the position could hardly have
be-.-n made. Even those who were loudest
in condemnation of the nomination were
compelled to admit tien. Cubbing's legal fit
ness, and based their opposition almost if
not quite altogether on the fact that he was
not, or had not been, a close Repulican.
An 1 yet the political republicanism of some
of these very objectors, would hardly bear
the test of scrutiny for the last twelve years.
Tn view of the idea advanced in President
( J rant's last annual message, that political
partizanship was well nigh obliterated j
throughout the country, we had hoped that
the Senate would have buried recollection of
the past, and agreed to meet all men
squarely on the present. Hut not so. More
than a decade, in Gen. Cushing's case, was
skipped over his invaluable services to the
government as a counselor in all matters
peitaining to reconstruction and our dues
from foreign powers were ignored, and noth
ing considered but the facts that he was not
an abolitionist, and had acted with the
democratic party prior to the rebellion.
Capacity and general fitness- was thrown out
of the count altogether a good man must
bo sacrificed and the country deprived of the
services of a most excellent Judge, that the
e r.y or hate of the Simon Pares of the Sen
ate might be pandered to.
It is said that the chief cause of the Sena
torial rebellion against the nomination was
an old letter of Gen. Cushing s to Jefferson
avis, which was exhumed from the rebel
archives now in the War Department.
This letter is attached to the correspondence,
;i-)d each reader can, for himself, judge of its
vontetits. Is that letter an evidence of a
want of loyalty? At the very time that,
letter was written, other gentlemen now oc
cupying high position in the Republican
j- inks were acting in conceit with Gen. dish
ing in endeavoring to stem the tide of rebel -Jion
which was ovenvhelmning the country,
ujiid it is more than hiutcd that a search
siinong those same archives will reveal
other letters from other pens infinitely more
damaging to the loyalty of their authors,
'i lie first gun fired on Fort Sumptcr however,
as a better touchstone as to the standing of men
-is patriots, and we venture the assertion,
without fear of serious contradiction, that
jio man, both by deed and speech, stood more
.squarc'Vy, as a, loyal man, before the coun
3ry, than did Gen. Cushing.
JJut it cannot Le that the Senate thought
V'l it letter a sufficient cause for their rebel-
l.oii. The TrilauM, a vehement opponent of
r 'r. Cushing.' s nomination denounces it as a
j rifling matter, unworthy of consideration,
;uid the later action of the Senate, in the
ifoii.1rmatii.in of Judge Hughes as the sue
:ssor of Judge Underwood, deceased, to
o 10 of the District Judgeship's of Virginia,
juiatt have looked upon it in the same light.
.Judge Hughes fought the Union throughout
the entire rebellion, and in politics has been
so vacillating since first Republican and
ihen Democrat that is hard to-day to tell
Avhich phase of his creed is uppermost We

Statement of the receipts and- expenditures
of 3Ionroe county for the year 1873, a docu

Our Pike county' friends are having

to show that a portion of the work and

A Narrow Escape. On Wedensday
afterLOon of last week, as Dr. John Hager
man and George Hannas, were on their
way in a wagon to Charles Henry's,
(colored,) in Stroud township,' to attend to
the wants of the sick, and when opposite
31 rs. Lydia Decker's residence, the horse
stumbled and pitched headlong over the em
bankment, carrying wagon and contents with
him. Fortunately only a few scratches and
bruises were received by cither horse or
men. The wagon came apait and was left
standing in the field but the horse was com
fortable lodged in 3Ir. James Andre's stable,
when the young csculapiaus footed it home.
Had there, been a railing along the road,
which at this point is both narrow and dan
gcorous, the accident could not have hap
pened. The Supervisors of Stroud should
see too it that the many mantraps along their
roads are properly guarded against. The
money saved by neglect now may be more
than overbalanced, by the damage growing
out of an accident liable to occur on almost
any day.

the LmteJ States. 31r. aite is a native
of Connecticut, and is about i" j-earsof age.

class with the Hon. Wm. ' Evarts, and is
regarded as without blemish in his private
character. His Father and Grandfather
were both lawyers of distinction in his native
State, and both held judicial positions there
in. His Republicanism is not questioned by
those who knew him, notwithstanding he
was instrumental, during the war, in electing
:i Democrat to office by running in opposi
tion to the irrcpressable John M. Ashley,
the' regular nominee of his party. 31 r. W

is said to stand at the head of the bar in his
adopted State, and it is to be hoped that if
his nomination is confirmed he will not
disappoint the expectations of the appoint

Justice of the United States. It is stated that
though oljections are expressed against him

and perceiving that the continuance ol

cause or occasion of inconvenience to

connection are' utterly destitute of founda
tion in truth or in fact. 1 indignatly re
pel the imputation. In all the times an
tenor to the commencement ot hostilities
in the southern States, every act of my
political life iu whatever relation of par
ties, was governed by the smgle dominant
purpose of aiming to preserve the threa
teued integrity of the Union and to avert
from iy country the calamity of its dis
ruption and of consequent fratricidal
carnage. How could such a purpose be
promoted otherwise than by political as
sociation or personal intercourse with citi
zens of different states, including those
states professedly disaffected to the Union
Should the only possible means of labor
ing to prevent civil war be stigmatized as
disloyalty to the constitution ? Bat iui
mediately on the occurrence of the first
act of hostility to the Union being struck
in the state of South Carolina I took my
stand with the Union and its government
I publicly announced my adherence to
them in the most unequivocal terms and
teadered ray services to the government
in the field, or in any way which might
testify my filelity to it, and I have con
tmued from that day to this as well in
official action, to tread in the path of un
swerving devotion to the Union, whether
during the actual progress of hostilities
against it or iu the subsequent events of
its reconstruction and of the successive
amendments of the constitution rendered
necessary bv the changed conditions aud
relation of the several states of the Uui

tants. The recent amendments . of the
constitution, each and all of them as they
were in turn adopted, and the legislative
nets for their enforcement and for ac
cotnplishing recoutruction, had my co
operation aud adhesion, and I have sup
ported them constantly, il not in political
debate, for which my comparatively re
served habits of life afforded neither oc
casion or opportunity, yet in legal opin
ion, or in the courts and in counsel or
discussion with officers of tho govern
ment, members of congress and private
persons; and entertaining the same genial
resp'ect for these amendments as for the
other provisions of the constitution and
also rendering the special observance due
to them as the just and necessary inci
dents of the reconstruction of the Uuion
While my nomination was undergoing
consideration iu the senate it would have
been unbecoming for me to speak in ex
planation of my acts or my opinions; but
now, with relative indifference to what
ever ele may have been said, either hon
estly or maliciously, to my prrjudice, it
belongs to my sense of public duty, and
it is my right to reaffirm and declare that
I have never, in the long course of a not
iuactive life, done an act, uttered a word
or conceived a thought of disloyalty to
the constitution or the Union. I have
the honor to be, very respectfully.

been given of the contents of the letter
of Caleb Cuihiug to Jefferson Davis, but
the following is a copy of the original :
Washington March 20, 1SG1. Dear
Sir : Mr. Archibald Roane, for the last
six or seven years a clerk in the attorney
general's office, desires from mc a letter
of introduction to you, and he desires, it
not in the view of anticipating adminis
trative favor, but that he may have the
honor of your personal intercourse. Of
this I take pleasure in assuring you he
is emineutly worthy. A southern man
by birth, family and affection, he has
carefully nod ably discussed in 3Ir. De
Bow s Review and other southern works
the lamentable events which have been
gradually undermining and have at length
overthrown the- American Unioo. Whilst
a practical man, he is also a ripe and ac
compliahcd scholar, with indaod, pre
douiiuaut literary tastes and habits. In
the discharge of his official duties he has
combined in a singular degree the purest
integrity and most enlightened lntelli
gence with modest contentment in his lot.
having more than once declined offices of
more conpicuous employment in the pub
i: ? . it .
uc service, ue now resign his present
office from sentiments of devotion to that
which alone he can feel to be his country,
uanieiy, me eoulederate states, from one
of which (Texas) he was appointed. 1
must heartily commend him as a gentle
man aud a man to your confidence uiu;
esteem, aud I am, with the highest con
sideration, your obedient servant.
