A Rising Man.

In the debates of the State Legislature
which have reached us it is easy TO fix up
on the men who lead the majority, and
we congratulate the Radical members up
on their good fortune in securing so able
an advocate of their principles as Judge
James Hughes, of Monroe, in the House.
Judge Hughes is a fiery and eloquent deba-
ter, is a man of unimpeachable integrity, a
statesman of profound judgment, and he
occupies in the State Legislature position,
both in the affections of his followers and
the hatred of his enemies, similar TO that of
Thaddeus Stevens in the nations House of
Representatives Against the keen thrusts
of his barbed lance no shield of sophistry
can avail. and he crowds to the battles
front like Richard CGur de Lion, dealing
irresistible blows with the ponderous bat
tle-ax of truth upon the gates oferror. In
Indiana politics he stands in the front rank
with Morton, Gresham and our own Col
fax.
Judge Hughes was elected, in 1856, we
believe, representative in Congress from
the 3rd district. While in that body he
made for himself brilliant reputation, and
though avowedly pro-slavery Democrat,
he never disl,onored his head and heart by
abusing poor and despiscd race, but al
ways used the kindeSt language when
speaking ofthe black man, whom he en-
dcavored to console by saying that though
bound TO earth with the memorable chains
of slavery, his unfcttered soul could tray
crSe the broadest fields of imagination, as
grasp the sublimest truths of religion
In 1858, having followed old Buchanan in
to the slough of Lecompton, he was beat
en- for Congress, in triangular contest, by
Mckee Dunn. In 1860 he was one OF
those Democrats, few in numbers but
mighty in intellect, who espoused the cause
of Breckenridge in the. free States. But
the first gun of Sumpter reused the sleeper
and with its dying echoes fled the hideous
nightmare Of his dreams. COmprehcnding
at once that slavery was the foe graphing
with the government, he renowned his
early faith and gave his energies and tai
ents for the cause of Union and Liberty
He received at the hands of Mr.. Lincoln
an appointment as Judge of the U. S. Court
of Claims, but when Johnson's apostacy be-
came apparent, he resigned his Office, in or
der to fight my policy" before The people.
Personally, Judge Hughes is very popular
and can command troops of friends in all
parts of the State. There will be a strong,
and, we apprehend, successful effort to
bring him before the people, in 1868, as the
Republican candidate for United States
Senator, to succeed Mr. Hendricks. With
such a leader and such cause as ours, vic
tory will certainly perch upon our ban
nerS.

Governor MOrtOn's Reslgna
ton.

On the afternoon of the oath inst, Gov
crnor Morton, sent to the Legislature the
following letter of esignation:
ITO the General Assembly Of the Stafe Of lad
iaca:
Having been elected to the Office of
United States Senator, desise to express
my deep sense Of obligation for this high
mark of your confidence and esteem This
election is more precious to me as an en-
dorsement of my administration, extend
ing through nearly six years, than for the
instrinsic value of the Office it confcrs.
To that large body of friends who nobly
sustained me through the difficulties BY
which was surrounded during the dark
and perilous hours of the rebellion, / am
bound by sentiments Of affection and graft
tuic which will end only with my life. To
the officers and soldiers of Indiana, whose
devoted patriotism and heroic yalor have
shed 80 much luster upon the State and Ma
ton, | return nv heartfelt thanks for their
many manifestations of confidence and re-
gard. Nv connection with them in the or
ganizaiion and support OF the army will
everbe the proudest period of my life. May
the people hold them in grateful and affec-
observation-disclosures.
'.Our beloved State has entered upon a
new career of growth, prosperity and hon
or. To your charge her interests are COM
mitted, and You will see TO 1t, | am conf
dent, that they are carefully and wisely fos-
tered. and that no reproach shall be
brought upon her high character.
Governor Baker 9 able, patriotic and
faithful, and now, with Consciousness of
having tried to do my duty, and with
happiness Of the people of Indiana, !
hereby resign into his hands, under the
Constitution, the Office OF Governor.

The Connecticut Republican State Con-
vention met on the 9th, at New-Haven
and by reclamation renominated Gov.
Hawley. Oliver ii. Perry was nominated
as Lieutenant Governor, William L. Elmer
as Secretary of State, Henry G. Taintor as
State Treasurer and Leman w. Cutler as
State Controller. The resolutions, adopt
cd unanimously, were thoroughly Radical,
and we congratulate the Republicans of
Connecticut upon the declaration that I'm
partial Suffrage is a necessary element of
reconstruction. Gov, Hawley's renomin-
alton is deserved, and with this ticket and
platform, Connecticut should not fail to
win another and even more decisive vic
tory for freedom Our friends had hard
fight last year, having to carry the weight
of Mr. johnson, who at that time still pro-
fessed some sort offidelity to his party and
principles. With the help of the Presi-
dents open opposition they expect to do a
great deal better this Spring, and to give
Gov. Hawley such majority as his
brilliant military career, his excellent adj
ministration in office, and his high personal
character entitle him to receive.

temperance in the Eegisia-
lure.

Unless we arc greatly mistaken the Leg
isllture viii pass stringent temperance
law during its present session--if not pro
hibitory in lis character at least very near
IL so in its effects. The Shuey bill--mak-
ing il necessary for the woull-5c rum-sel-
Ter to present to the County Commissioners
petition signed b. III ljority of the lc- cal
voters Of bis township or ward before IL
C ense ID poison and Kill can be grant ed
him though not al we could desire, is, j;
seems to us, the safest and the plan most
likely TO be sustained by the people. The
great weakness of prohibition is that il lUlls
the temperance men into feeling of secu-
r.,y false and unreal; they think they have
achieved lasting victory and dsband
their organizations. Meanwhile the enemy
is at work. with dcylish art bribing judges
and legislators to override the will of the
people. On the other hanl tie Sh1ay Ia,
will keep the Question constantly agiiaicd;
it leaves TO each locality the privilege OF
regulating the supply of rum, ruin and
crime according to the prevailing taste. Ii
is true that it would have a tendency TO
drive the red noses to particular localities,
but the right to leave such places would still
be left to decent men, and bounds could be
thus set TO the raTages of the destroyer. =
The measure, however, is unfortunate in
its advocate, we regret to say. Mr. Shuey,
we are learn 10 observe, does not WELD the
influence necessary to secure the passage
his bill. He is troubled with disagreed
bic breaking out around the mouth. =
Could such a man as Judge Hughes be &C
lively enlisted in the temperance cause, any
measure that he might bring forward wo'd
be supported by the entire Radical strength
of both Houses, besides several members Of
the Opposition.
There need be no fears of disaster to
our party arising from any prudent action
upon the temperance question. Every
man who can be influenced by an appeal
to degraded appetite, our opponents arc
already sure Of The Republican party j.
composed in the main of sober men; they
are fully awake to the Importance of tho
subject, and they will not be guilty of trust
ing their banners in the hands OF whisky
sliyers.

On his erose-examination on Tuesday,

Cifan. of Newark. was asked to state
whether he did not know that he had rea-
A., sonf to believe that the eighteen dollars
Maid on the suit of clothes for Pat. Lamb,
was Delanos money. Giffin answered that
he knew no facts showing that it was Del
AMOS money; but that he believed Delano
would not allow any of his friends to suffer
for any advance they might make on his
behalf lot any honest OF Legitimate purpose.
Mr.. Atherton next asked whether witness
believed buying suitof clothes for a DEM
f,cratic Irishman to influence his political
/. eefion, was honest and legitimatef To
This. the ex-postmaster replied that he
pc0nsflered it neither honest nor polite.
Then the cruel interrOgator went for the
sracv witness - IN this wise: Mr.. Giffin,
Won nave already sworn that you went
lambs bail for the clothes, although you
had no preyious acquaintance with him /.
s now please state what was your motive,
and whether you would have done so had
It not been that you and your party were
striving TO secure his political influence fof
Delano2 10 this GiffiH replied that he
himself had no faith in Lamb. but that he
was induced TO bail him because others
fhouQht his influence could be got for Del.
auo and he was unwilling to sour Lamb
by refusing to comply with his demand.
Here. Atherton was about to ask Gifin to
expiain. as q matter of honesty, the differ
ence between attempting to Influence q
mans political action by pecuniary con-
ssitefafion In money, and a similar consid-
,efatiou in the nature of bail, but noticing
9fffn's irnplOfing leok, and remembering
the statute f0fbiddiDg cruelty to animals,
he humanely desisted.-Necark Advocate.

The Neoo York Times has the following
The Senate finds itself in tight spot. Con
gress passed law at its last session de-
priving the President of power to fill va
cancies in Office during the recess. He has
been diligently trying them all during the
session of the Senate, but that body, as a
general thing, rejects all nominations. In
many instances he has made two, three ann
four nominations in succession TOR the same
Office; but so determined is the Senate on
having its own men appointed that it has
refused to confirm his nominations. They
now want to adjourn, but the public inter-
Il est will not allow all the offices to remain
vacant indefinitely, and the Attorney Gen
eral is of opinion that from the necessity
of the case the President must fill them
The Senate seems thus to be under the ne
cessitity of remaining in session to watch
the President, or else of actually leaving
him in possession of some trifiing portion
of the power vested in him by the Consti-
tuition. 1t remains to be seen which horn
of this terrible dilemma they will decide

An Old Man Murders His Wife,
While Sleeping, with AN Axe,
and Hangs Himself TO a Tree.

By the Pacific and Atlantic Telegraph
line we are placed in possession of the par
tieulars OF one Of the most horrible trage-
dieswe have ever chronicled. The scene of
the dark deed was near the quiet village of
Mount Norris, some six miles north of

farmer, had been living for some time past
on bad terms with his wife, although moth
ing beyond angry words had ever passed
between them. On Sunday night Cane arose
from his he'd at about ten O'Clock aud pro-
curing an axe, returned to his chamber
where his wife was sleeping unconscious
of danger, and dealt her two blows with
the deadly weapon upon her head. The first
blow terrible fractured the skull, while the
second seemed to have been warded off by
the arm of the woman, who awoke to a
realization of her husbands intent to muir
der her. The old man, thinking he had ac-
complished his dread purpose of murder,
fed to field adjoining his house, and with
his suspenders tied together, succeeded In
committing suicide by hanging himself up
on an apple tree. TAAe alarm was promptly
given. and the neighbors attracted to the
house, found the wife in dying condition,
and her husband and murderer hfeless, sus-
pended to q tree, as stated. Medical aid
was at once summoned for the poor woman,

Yesterday, visited the scene of the occur

horrible deed, and what induced him to its
perpetration is mere conjecture. He was
over sixty years of age, and his wife was
but few years his junior.
