Alleged Treachery OF Senator Nor.
ton 10 Grant.

Washington correspondence Of Gin. Conn.,
Ono Of the most startling cases oil po.
litical treachery will be disclosed in this
city tomorrow. The first public man
who in a speech was bold enough to de.
clare himself in favor of General Grants
denomination, and the man who more
than almost any other has abused and at
tempted to drive out Of the party those
Republicans who have dared to make II
known that they preferred some other
candidate, Is Senator Morton Of Indiana.
Notwithstanding all this, it has been
whispered about the Capitol for month
past, that Morton had expressed doubts
as 10 the wisdom Of nominating Grant,
but no one could be found to believe II,
and the Senator himself either avoided
the subject or spoke in the same tone that
he has during the past year. But to-day,
member of Congress received from a
delegate from his district to the Philadel.
phia Convention an autograph letter
written by Senator Morton's brother.in.
law, Mr.. Burbank, oil Nebraska, marked
private and confidential. In this letter
the delegate told that the apparent divis-
ion in the Republican party has been
caused by personal dislIkes, and
has not grown out Of any prin.
ciple. 1t Is highly important, II
not absolutely necessary Tor the success ol
tho party, that these dissensions be healed;
but In order to do this Grant must be
thrown overheard and some one else
nominated at Philadelphia. "All things
considered" the letter concludes, "Sena.
tor o. P. Morton Is believed to be the
best man for the place."
The member Of Congress who has re.
ceived this letter Is o sincere Grant man,
and is Of course highly indignant at dis.
covering what he believes 10 be Senator
Morton's treachery. He will therefore
place the letter in the Presidents hands
tomorrow morning.

Does Pol1teness Pay?

We are very certain il did in the case Of
the most cou teous gentleman in Laporte
The old citezen-the young citizen-or
any other citizen-or even the occasional
visitor to the city of Laporte, who don't
know Major JOHN WALTON, is entitled
to ver,- little respect from anybody Nat
urally OF genial disposition, which was
developed and polished by culture, he has
kind greeting for everybody As re-
tail dry goods merchant he had ample
scope for his politeness-and he used it so
eifectually that when the Wings came in
to power, under the administration Of
General Taylor, he was appointed to the
responsible and lucrative office of Post
Master He was some times little alb
sent minded On one occasion, soon af-
ter he was installed as Post Master, his
young clerk, who boarded with him, re
turned from his supper to the Post Office
rather late in the evening, anG the Major
met him at the door, grasped his hand
cordially, and very blandly inquired the
state of his health and the condition of
his wife and family. The Majors mis-
takes were, sometimes laughable; but
they always paid, as was evidenced by the
fact that he was entrusted for eight years
with the office of Auditor of Laporte
county, one of the best Offices in the coun-
ty-and everybody knows his politeness
had more to do with his promotion than
his politics.
