pects to tho poorer grades of dairy but
ter sold there; that thero is nothing
objectionable either in tho material or

Wo havo doubted and hoped that
President Oarllold di'd not niako the
contemptible remark attributed to him
that Senators who dared to exorcise
their sworn constitutional duty in con
firmations, antagonistic to his nomina
tions, would require letters of intro
duction to him afterward. And al
though referred to as a brilliant and
statesmau-liko utterance, by ono of his
ardent supporters, still wo aro loth to
boliovo that ho has not been misrepre
sented; for with our exulted opinion of
Garfield as a statesman of stalwart
American ideas', who would detest a
usui'iHjr and scoin a bulldozer, wo will
not believe ho has shrunk himself to
tho narrow compass of both without
tho most positive proo. It is tho duty
of the President to nominate, and it is
equally tho duty of the Senate to re
ject if they beliovo tho public sorvico
will bo conserved thereby, and tho
'resident beinc fully informed and
educated on tlieso two distinctive

in tho altitude of a bolligcrent holding
a club over the heads of Senators and
threatening to let it fall if they do not
vote to confirm his nominations. No,
we think the Reporter is peddling an
outrageous slander on the President.

Seward Reporter.
Wo do not doubt the staunchness of
the President's spinal column, nor can
any sane man doubt tho popularity anil
power of the "haughty autocrat" iu
Now York. Garfield was elected for
the purpose of not only making a good
executive olllcers but at tlio samo timo
conserving tho Republican party. If
his Now York policy shall prove that
the party in that stato has been
strengthened instead of weakened,
then there will be some sense in talk
ing about backbone. But if his New
York policy shall prove disastrous to
Republicanism in Now York, tlio mag
nitude and rigidity of his spinal column,
will but add to his discomfiture when
ho instead of the "autocrat" shall read
thatjliand writing on the wall. Tho
party is of vastly moro importance
than spinal columns or autocrats.

The Jke slanders tho Senator in the

tho truth, why is it that tho Bee has
been tho ardent dofendor of Senator
Saunders "during all tlieso four years"

fused to permit Bosewater to run his

Bosewater gives himself away, and
demonstrates what we always said he
was a demagogue, blackmailer,
hypocrite.
Ono arch traitor complimonts tho
memory of anothor. Jeff Davis, at the
unvailingof the statuo of Stonewall
Jackson, at Now Orleans, said:
"From tho academic shades of his
military institute Jackson went forth
to battle for tlio cause of stato rights,
self government and constitutional
liberty. Ho lived for his country,
never doubting the justice of his cause,
behoving it was right and trusting in
it. Ho died as I live to-day, feeling
that the confederacy ought to have
succeeded because it was founded on
truth and justice. Ho gave his life for
tho wholo country, and the country
gave its heart to Jackson. You men
upon whom lie leaned in the hour of
danger in honoring him also honor
yourselves."
Tho negro reverence for tho name of

more birds than ho had the week be
