MoRroN's MEssAoB.-Ths following is
the eloquent conclusion Of the late message
Of Governor Oliver P. Morton, Of Indiana,
delivered at indianapolis, on the Esd ult.
The war has established upon imperish-
able foundations, tho great fundamental
truth Of the unity and individuality OF the
nation. We are many States but
people, having one undivided sovereignty.
one flag, and one common destiny. 1t
has also established, to be confessed by all
the world, the exalted character Of the
American Soldier, his mRtchlesS valor, his
self. sacrifcing patriotism, his capacity 10
endure ~fatigues and hardships, and his
humanity, which, in the midst Of carnage,
has wreathed his victorious achievements
with a brighter glory. He has taught the
world a lesson before which it ssands in
amazement, how, when the storm OF battle
had passed, he. could lay aside his arms,
nut of the habiliments OF war, and return
with cheerfulness to the gentle pursuits OF
peace. and show how the bravest OF SOL
der, could become the best OF citizens.
To the Army and Navy. under favor OF
Providence, we owe the preservation Of
our country, and the fact that we have to-
day a place, and the proudest place.
among the nations. Let it not be said OF
US, Is it was in olden times, that Re
publics are ungrateful." Let US n
the dead, cherish the living, and preserve
in immortal memory the deeds and virtues
Of all, as an inspiration for generations TO
come. w

Cornelius Cole.


Cornelius Cole, United States Senator
elect to fill the place now occupied by
James A. McDougall, in March, 1857,
was born in Lodi, New York, September
II, 1922, and bred to the business Of a
farmer. He graduated at the Wesleyan
University, Connecticut, and subsequently,
betook himself to the study and practice
of law. In lS49 he emigrated to Califor-
MIA, spending the first year Of his life in
this State, as a miner. In 1851 he remov-
ed to Sacramento, and engaged in his pro-
fession, being elected, il we mistake not,
District Attorney Of Sacramento county,
in 1854, which place he filled with ability
for two years. In 1856, when the Repub-
lican party was organized, Mr.. Cole en-
tered into it with earnestnesS, and served
on the Republican National Committee
from 1856 to 1860. when he had the salts
faction Of seeing the party triumph in the
nation by the election Of q President, and
the very next year, in this State, by the
election of Governor Stanford. In 1868,
he was elected to Congress, on the ticket
with Highly and Shannon, and served
his two years with distinguished abili-
ty. To his able efforts, we may attri-
butte the establishment Of the authorized
line Of steamships, to run from San
Francisco to Japan and CHINA mea-
sure Of scarcely less importance to this
whole coast than the Pacific railway itself
and one which. but for the lack of a far
sighted statesman to represent US in Con-
gress, would have been contaminated
years ago. In Congress Mr.. Cole enjoyed
the respect and confidence Of his fellow
members and at the White House, Of the
late President Lincoln to a remarkable de-
gree. Less brilliant than industrious, he
has all the virtues, public and private,
which usually accompany energetic minds,
without those baneful vices which so often
neutralize genius. He is emphatieally a
working mantle sort Of material most
needed for this State, and most useful in
either branch Of Congress. Take him all
in all, Mr.. Cole possesses, in u opinion,
better material and bottom for a United
States Senator than California has yet had
the honor of sending to Washington, If
he will but continue to keep his fingers
out Of the Aesh-pots and hold fast to his
integrity. His election gives universal
satisfaction. The Flag, Bulletin, Ala.

The Presidont ind the Pardon
Seekers.

Seekers.
The Washington correspondent Of the
Philadelphia Inquirer tells these stories OF
the seekers for pardon:
On Saturday not over thirty persons
were present at the White House, among
whom was William Porcher Miles, Of
South Carolina. Approaching the Presi-
dent, he said al come to procure a par
don, sir" Under what class do you
come" asked the President. II left o
seat in Congress to join my State, and
have only acted as thousands Of others
have done. You have pardoned two Of
my colleagues, Messrs. MCQUEEN and DO.
wee; my name is W. Porcher Miles, and1
only ask the same favor" The President
promptly replied. "Your case must take
its chance with others, and in the regular
way ; I cannot take it up now" This was
an evident setback, but Miles rallied and
said: well, sir, I would like to have a
permit to 90 to work in some civil pursuit,
either mercantile or professional. l have
los, everything, and must do something"
THAT is not necessary" answered the
President; There are no such papers
used" Not to be put of, Miles contin-
ed, "Is there no mode by which l can ex-
pedite my pardons" "None at all, unless
you see the Attorney General and learn If
there are reasons why it should not be
granted" and the chivalric Miles bowed
hurrledly out. A. he left a seedy scion OF
another most noble family approached the
President and sought pardon and the res
titution of his property. The same anSwer
greeted him. that he must wait his turn.
"Well," said he, "when I get it, will Con-
gress interfere with me. for I hear pardons
are of no account unless Congress confirms
them," quoth the modest criminal, whose
clothes indicated he had not long since
fourished in the rank Of a Brigadier Cen
eral. THAT, sir, is not my lookout. l
cannot answer for the action Of Congress-
said the President, and the partially re-
constructed rebel left in grave doubt as to
whether his salvation would be very COM
plete, even if he gets his parchment. The
rest Of the pardon-hunters had no better
success"
