Death Of General Morton.-We learn
with sincere regret that our estimable fellow
citizen, General JACOB NORTON, fell
down dead this morning, near the corner of
Greenwich and Fulton streets. In the
death OF this gentleman, our city has lost
one of its oldest and most worthy citizens
"a thorough New Yorker---whose pride
was more exclusively identified with tho
name and fame of this city, perhaps, than
was that of any other man. Of him, we
think it may be said, he never had an enemy
certainly, that he has not left one. He
was man possessing high and just sense
OF honor of great purity of life and con-
versation, and an excellent husband, parent,
officer, and citizen. Hisloss will be univsr.
sally regretted.
General Morton was in the stove store
of Mr.. Graham in conversation with that
gentleman, when he fell. Ho was as cheer
full and lively as usual-stepped back-fell
land uttered neither word nor groan. In
one minute a physician was by bis side, bot
the vital spark was extinguished.

Z" Facts for the american pcople.-The
population Of France may be estimated at
about thrty-two millions at least this may
hold good for the year, 1886. Of these,
seven and half millions live upon twenty
dollars year; these are persons engaged
in factories, &C., and nearly twenty-three
millions procure food with from five to eight
sous (about the same number of cents,)
daily. About seven and half millions Of
the people do not eat meat, or use flour,
but i've upon barley, rye, buckwheat, ches-
nuts, and few potatoes, and drink nothing
but water. In 1920 one seventh part Of
the inhabitants of Paris were supported by
public charity, and one third of the inhabi-
fants who during the year, died in the hos
pitfalls. This is statement Of facts rela-
tive to the condition of the working classes
in one Of the most enlightened kingdoms of
Europe. In Norway, in Sweden, in Den.

gary, despotic, barbarous, enslavod Hun
gary-their condition is worse still. There
are whole villages in the latter kingdom,
that do not contain a soul that can read or
write, and there are twelve millions of the
inhabitants of the Austrian possessions total
~ uninstructed, and yet we have Witnessed
European travellers, fresh from their own
statistic tables-their annals of shame-of
governmental tyranny and social abandon
ment-criticising our Institutions
at our freedom--our Government. How
immcasurably superior is our condition.

Presidents Healh.-The health Of the
President has gradually improved, but he is
still extremely feeble, and unable to meet
company. He gives attention, few hours
every day, to communications laid before
him by his cabinet; but he is absolutely
interdicted by his physician (DR. HUNr,l
from receiving his friends, as the effort to
converse threatens return of the hemor-
rhage, which, in his present weak condition,
might be attended with instant suffocation.

The Election Presidential Election
is now over throughout the Union, and e.
nough is known to justify the belief thatthe
subioned tables exhibit the result, both as to
the Presidency and Vice Presidency. Van

short of majority Of the whole number Of

In Michigan, three electors have also
been chosen favorable to Van Buren, and
Johnson; but as she has not yot entered

The effects of an extension of bank cre-
dts and over issues Of bank paper, have
been strikingly illustrated in the sales ofthe
public lands. From the returns made by
the various Registers and Receivers in the
early part of last summer, it was perceiv.
Cd that the receipts arising from the sales
of the public lands were increasing to an
unprecedented amount. In effect, howev.
err, these receipts amounted to nothing
more than credits in bank. The banks lent
out their notes to spectators they were
paid to the receivers, and Immediately re.
turned to the banks, to be lent out again,
and again, being mere instruments to trans.
fer to spectators the most valuable public
lands, and pay the Government by credit
ON the books of the bank. Those credits
on the books Of some Of the western banks,
usually called deposites, were already great
ly beyond their immediate means of pay
ment, and were rapidly increasing. Indeed,
each speculator furnished means for ano-
Their for no sooner had one individual or
company paid in the notes, than they were
Immediately lent to another for like pur.

The general inactivity which seems to
prevail in the ranks the opponents of
the present administration, and friends OF
Harrison and Granger, is in truth, matter
of aStOnlshment
With the greatest inducements to
activity, vigilance and energy, they have
resigned themselves to indifference ana
utter slpineness. And it is most hui
initiating to sec the pretended trends OF
good order, sound principles and republi-
can institutions, unnterested IN that Whlch
most deeply concerns them, and content to
see their dearest rights and privileges made
the sport Of demagogues and corrupt ana
unprIncpled office holders. NO efforts are
made TO save themselves, or effect trl-
umph over their indetatglble opponents.
Petty dissentions among themselves, and
foolish differences on points OF no material
importance to either, are suffered 10 en-
gross the little attention tthey deign to

The office holders on the contrary, are
unremilting in their efforts to procure

of action, and irrepresslble energy exists
personal prejudices are entirely disre,,

fact was proclaimed that Senators, and a
Vice President, from on-slaveholding
states, had recorded their votes in favor of
Il bill expressly creating censor of the
press in every town, village and hamlet OF
our widely extended country! In coun-
try whose constitution explicitly declares,
that Congress shall make no law abridging
the freedom of the press Were they too
so drunk with excitement that they knew
not what they did? Not they, it was a
cold and deliberate thrust at the vtals Of
their country's freedom. AS it will not be
pretended that they were urged on to the
desperate act by any irresistible momentary
impulse, the conclusion is inevitable that
they were led to its preparation by some
object becoming ahead, some expectation
or hope--(may it prove delnslve) OF reward,
of self ACKNOWLEDGMENT. There is no fear
of doing injustice by surmzing too dark
motive. So detestahle an act must have
had detestable motive. 1t is presumed
that there is not an individual in the four
and twenty states ofthis Union who would
venture to incur universal derIsIon, by IN
ssting that the bill in question might posi-
bly, have been supported by those Northern
Senators and Vice President, from an hon
est conviction that its provisions were both
constitutional and such as would promote
the welfare of the country. The SUPPOSE
ton is ridiculous. 1t was deslgnln e,
though open, an insdious stab, aimed by
cool heads and still colder hearts-hearls
which had ceased to pulsate at the name OF
country and of freedom. 1t had nlotire
let hell analyze it.
This most wicked attempt to strangle
freedom in its infancy, should fix upon
them, and it will fix upon them the mark
OF Cain, until death shall stay their wan
derings and hide them i'll the grave; and
the mere act of attempting to impede the
descent to the obscurity and harmless con-
dition of private life, of these traitors to the
dearest rights of man. will be good and
sufficient cause for fastening upon men the
stigma of political hypocrisy, of sinister
designs, or imbecile sycophancy; for a
thief might make pretensions to honesty, a
convicted lelon to be the respecter OF hui
man rights, with as much consistency, as
that man can claim to he a friend to the
! United States of North America, or hel
Republican institutions, who shall hereafter
aid directly or indirectly in UNFOLDING the
men who voted for the bill abridging the
| freedom of the press. Had the almost i'm
macuate Washington been living, and re-
corded his vote in favor of this bill, il
would have cancelled his great services &c
the land which gave him birth and tc
mankind at large changed the paterna
epithet by which we love to distinguish
him, into that of enemy of his country
and indelibly fixed upon his great name
stain and a reproach which the tomb lisel
would have failed to obliterate. A sickle
