EX-GOVERNOR FENToN OF NEW YORK,
The friends of Senator Morgan in this
f city made great hubbub at first over his
signal defeat in the late contest for the
Sonatorship from New York by ex-Gove-
nor Reuben Il. Fonton, and cry Of brib
cry, corruption, etc, was raised; but a
"sober second thought" has caused them
to look at The thing in its true light. They
now see that Mr.. Morgan had no show ol
an election, that it was an understood thing
in New York many months ago. They
have also become aware of the fact that
Gov. Fenton, whom they readily concedo
to be statesman of whom the Empire
State may we'll be proud, is also politi-
clan fertile in expedients, of infinite re-
source, and that he has been uniformly
successful in his public career-always
accomplished everything he attempted.
TIE COUNCIL ON THE METROPOLITAN CHURCH
DTssEysioNs.
The Council of the Congregational
Churches Of the country, called by the
pastor, Rev. DR.. Boynton, and the major
ity party adhering to him, to consider the
difficulties which have afflicted the church
here for two years past, after a session Of
four days have come to the conclusion
that the dissent on the part Of Gen. o. o.
Howard and the minority with him, from
the pastor and his party, was not factlous
but came Of their adherence to the princi-
pies of Congregationalism. DR.. Boynton
will, therefore, undoubtedly resign; when
harmony and prosperity may be hoped
for under another pastor.
