The appointment of Minister to England
has been offered to and accepted by Sena-
tor Morton of Indiana. Mr.. Morton is
one of our ablest public men, and will
bring high qualifications to the office. He
is in the prime of life, and though suffer
ing somewhat physically is vigorous in
mind and active in public affairs. This
appointment was rendered some weeks ago
by the President to Hon. Lot NJ. Morrill,,
who felt obliged to refuse the distinguish
ed position offered him. The proffer of so
important place is a mark of confidence
from President Grant that cannot fail to be
highly gratifying to Mr.. Morrill, and his
friends, and is honorable to our State.

Eleven more travellers have fallen victims
to the insane ambition of ascending Mont
Blanc. A telegram from Chamouni states
that party of tourists, numbering eleven
persons, while undertaking the perilous feat
of ascending that mountain, were swallowed
up by an avalanche, none escaping. Two of
the adventures lost were Americans, named
Bean and Randall.
Milwaukee is the greatest grain market in the
world. 1t has six large elevators, able to
hold from half million to million and a half
bushels. Yet last week five hundred cars
were standing in the freight yards and on the
tracks Of the city, unable to discharge their
wheat. This immense glut is from old wheat,
and the merchants estimate that there are
million more bushels of the crop of 1863 to
come.
1t is reported from the Red River country
that the officers of the Canadian expedition
have not managed wisely, and that the peo-
pie of Winnipeg are disguised with the in
vaders, the leaders of which are reported as
having violated the terms of the agreement
entered into by the Canadian government
with Riel and his followers. His bad faith is
said to have greatly exasperated the French
half breed population, and everywhere symp-
toms Of furious disaffection are manifested.
One writer says: "The elements of rebell-
ion far more formidable and extensive than
that which extorted from Canada its conces-
sions, are in full train, and ready to burst
into flames at any moment" The expedition
will most likely prove costly and unprofta-
BILE investment. Winnipeg is too far from
Canada to make it worth while to hold the
country by permanent military force, which
seems to be the only means by which it can
be subjected to the Dominion.

The River Plate interests are rapidly aug
menting in Importance in the commercial
world. The magnitude of its business can be
estimated somewhat by the amount of regular
steam navigation which Europe furnishes for
the performance of its transportation. At this
time about forty large European steamers ply
regularly between Montivedeo and the leading
ports of the old world. The size of these
steamships ranges from seven hundred to three
thousand tons each, and most of them Of the
recently improved models. To these must be
added large number of sailing vessels and
numerous fleet of steamers which ply up and
down the Plate and its branches. One and
two hundred sail vessels are frequently in the
harbor of Montevideo The combined trade
of the River Plate has risen to more than
$50 200, 900 per annum, yet the United States
has not single steamer running to this point
Intelligence of all kinds reaches here from Eu-
rope many days before it arrives from the
United States. The ten Daily and an
equal number of Weekly Newspapers sup
ported in Montevideo, are compelled to select
their foreign news from European journals, or
publish that which has become stale to their
readers. Uruguay has but a few miles OF
steam railway, and this is now the great ne
cessity for the development and paciication
of the country. This want is likely to be soon
supplied. English capital is soon to con-
struct main-trunk line into the best portion
of the country, starting from Montevideo and
making this the focal point of system of
railroads which cannot fail to make il popu-
lous and powerful commercial city. The soil,
climate, andI resources of the River Plate
countries are attracting great attention at the
commercial centers Of Europe, and there are
increasing and conclusive reasons why the
United States should not forget her interests
here. There is no valid reason why our mail
steamers after having come fre-sirths of the
distance, should run no farther than Rio ia
metro. The business men of Monteyideo,
Buenos Ayres, and other cities of the Plat,
want direct steam communication with the
United States. I. is to be hoped that such a
demand will soon cease to be question of the
flu ure. AN AMERICAN.

Massachusetts Politics have been sim
plified by the formal declaration of Gen
Butler that he is not candidate for the
Senate, and that he desires only re-elec.
ton to the House.

The result will probably depend on the

The Oregon legislature has elected
Colonel J. K Kelly to the United States

The republicans of Kentucky will make

A letter from Chief Justice Chase,
written January l, 1868, is just published,
and is chiefly interesting as containing his
defense from the charge that he shirked
and delayed the trial of Jefferson Davis
He shows why he could not attend court
in Richmond before May, 1867, but since
then he claims he has always been ready !;
and even if he had not been he was in no
wise responsible for the delay, as ''the
trial of JEFF Davis might at any time have
taken place, that is, since his capture in
May, 1865, either by military commission,
when military commissions were being
held for the trial of offenders under the
authority of the president, or by court
held by the district judge"

The Portland Press, at the close of an
article upon the election and the Senatorial
question says:

no foundation for the report that though
the opponents of Gov. Chamberlain con-
stitute a majority of the Republicans OF
both branches of the Legislature, coali.
ton of his friends with the Democrats will
nevertheless elect that gentleman Senator
1t is not by any means certain that ever
such an unholy alliance would be able to
effect his election. But if it were able, il
is not to be supposed that such an alliance
could be formed, and we have the fulles
assurance that the Republicans of the mex
Legislature will settle their differences as
