Gen. Morgan and his Prisoners.

- AN interesting lDoIdont occurred o
few Gays agoih one of tho street ears
!. he Senate had, adjourned, anu
amongst others, Senator Scott, Of
Pennsylvania, with q friend, stepped
'uto the Car. Gen. Gordon, also q
Senator, was already seated. Th.
Pennsylvania Senator, having seated
hinself beside the eybravo and gallan,
Georgian, entered into conversation
Senator SCOTT, turning to his friend
remarked, "Col. Stewart, allow mt
TO introduce you to Gen. Gordon, q
Senator from Georgiu." The
Colonel aud the General looked al
each other for moment as if in
doubt. Gen. Gordon, appreciated the
.ause Of tho Colonsl's hofitation, and
said: "Yes, it is the same person. p
The two at onoe shook hands anu
promptly exchanged sentiments Of
respect and admiration. Senator
Scott was naturally considerably
amazed at this mysterious perfor-
manoo. Col. Stewart, during the
Iute war, had commanded one Of the
regiments Of Western Pennyslvania,
and Gen, Gordon had led column
of bravo Gcorgians. They were
therefore, at that time in hostile
array. Gen. Gordon then explained
to Senator Scott that during the war
he had taken Col. Stewart prisoner
with q portion Of his command. The
Colonel added "And never do /
expect, under any oircumstanees, to
meet more magnanimous victor or
a more courteous gentleman" The
Confederate General aud Pennsyl-
vaniA Colonel talked their battles
over, and parted ct the hotel with
many wishes Of lasting friendship and
respect between not only tho grey and
the blue, but between tho people of
the South and the North.

Tribune says the leadership Of tho
repu ulioan side of the ncxt house is
clear for him, and it hopes fer
miraculous things under his expe-
rienced leadership. Amongst the
rest, ho is expected "to oheck tho
propensities Of a democratic house,
made up largely of inexperienced
men, to rush wildly into all sorts of
schemes" If they shouldn't happen
to rush, etc., then Mr.. Blaine's occu-

That will be work enough for Mr
b., and if he succeeds he will be
nearer the presidency than hs ever
has been.
