THE LATEST PoLIrICAL PLOT
Why Senator Morton Hurried on to Indiana
at Midnight on Thursday.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 15.-The Radicals are
about to mako their last and most desperate
move. When the Senate was called to order this
morning, Senator Mortons seat was vacant, and
attention was attracted to his absence, because
an important meeting Of the Committee on
PRIVILEGES and Elections was appointed for to.
cay Neither Senator Logan nor Senator Ker-
man, his colleagues on that committee, knew
anything OF his movements, and Mr.. Logan
thought 1t singular that he should decamp lust
at tbis Important time without leaving some
message about his return. Curiosity was excited
and comments made by both parties, O. ch sus-
peotnR that some new developments were at
hand. Circumstances during the mat twenty
Tour hours were gradually linked together until
the mystery was explained. The facts are as
Yesterday afternoon Don Cameron entered the
Senate chamber, and Morton followed him out.
They went direct to the White House. The
news bad been received that morning that the
Democrats OF Indiana were organizing into
county clubs and preparing to maintain their
rights at all hazards. IL had also beon COM
munlcated to Grant Cameron, and Morton that
similar organisations were forming In Ohio,
they were represented to be secret In their
character nS and c9mposed Of the same material

called to Don C1merons aid. After protracted

returned to bis quar- srs, where ho gave out
that telegram had Just been received which
called him home, and with his Oregon speech
nall nnished aud important committee work on

ana Cameron think, Will prepare the public for
the necessity Of counting IN Hayes and placing
the army at his command TO suppress this new
rebellion. ana will serve rs a warrant for increas-
Ing aud matntalhing troops at Washington. Tue
urn attitude Of the Indiana Democrats has di-
recteu attention to that quarter. and Morton
must now couspire to prop bir lost cause by
kindling old hatreds, without the slightest foun-
dation in fact. The present organizations are in
no way similar to the knights Of the Golden
Circle that Morton fought during the war. The
country Is forew. rned OF the political plot ia
time ~ checkmate Its consummaton.

WAsHINGToN, Dec. 15.-Among the ap-
pointments to be sent In tomorrow to the SEN
ate for confirmation Ia the name OF John Nor
ton for Government Commissioner Of the Seal
Fisheries at Alaska. Whom the company was
first organized, five years ago. this son Of SEN
ator Morton was appointed to some subordinate
post, and has been there ever since, either in
some position under the Government or In the
employ OF the com pany aud he has managed by
this time ~ get possession Of some stock IN the
concern. An attempt made I'm former
Congress to investigate this company, on the
ground that the contract was obj aimed in some
mysterious manner. ana that 1t had been regu-
larry killing more seals per annum than the
charter al owed. Now, should John Morton,
who mas stock In the company, be also made
Government Commissioner through the infu-
euce Of his father, be will be Interested Ia
letting the Fur Company keep its own account
OF seals destroyed. He will no doubt be
