the fence, intlicting a severe bruise on the
head, which resulted in the child having a
series of fits. Medical aid was called, when
it was pronounced not serious On same
day, Mr.. John A. Boyd, while pointing

foul stroke of the axe. A few days since,
a six year old son of Mr. Israel r. Dean
fell into fourteen foot well of six feet

MORTON AND MISSISSIPPI.

If Morton, of Indiana, were not so well
known in his true character, he would be
regarded as one Of the sairest and squarest
men of the Nineteenth Century. The bloody
shirt is the emblem of his school Of poll
tics, that he waves triumphantly to inspire
the timid with dread for safety of loyalty
in the South, and keep alive the embers Of
sectional prejudices and hatred in his
party. But for knowledge of this by the
whole country people would be easily
luped into the belief that Mr.. Morton was
the political philantnropist of the age He
has been pictured as the devil upon two
sticks, and this really appears to photo
graph the man in his true sense. His
Mississippi resolution is the last act in the
drama of blood and thunder that he has
been exhibiting through the country as the
great avenser Of Southern outrages. With
the end of domination in his own party 80
close at hand, its throes so painful to the
champion, one more effort at resuscitation
must be tried before it expires, and
Morton steps into the Senate with the
poultice which he is to apply TO himself,
in the sha]e of a resolution to investigate
the recent elections in Mississippi.
No one is surprised that Mr.. Morton
should bring out resolution, for he is
famous for bills and resolutions, but they
are surprised that heshould have the cheek
to bring out measure for purpose that
has no ground of reason. If we are to
take his own reasons for this po-
litical increment he makes very weak
argument in his case. His main reliance
is that he has received number of anony-
nous letters, which state that terrible
state Of affairs existed in Mississippi
and the writers are deferred from giving
their own names because they are fearful
of the consequences that might result to
themselves for participation in the bloody
shirt drama. What these consequences
would be have not been stated but the
only inference that can truthfully be made
is that they would be convicted out of
their own mouths as liars, but Mr.. Nor
TOMS Interpretation Of it is tnat they would
he murdered, aye, nayed alive.
He takes as another foundation for his
action certain paragraphs clipped from To-
cal papers which were controlled by men,
bers of the administration party. These
are the only grounds that Mr.. Morton has
for the display he has made of political
phvsica in prcTcribiug poultice that is to
draw out from the patient the Sec. OF the
disease that threatens lis dissolution.
The result of such an investigation could
accomplish nothing. But it would estab-
lish an outrage upon the liberties of the
State of Mississippi, and it is for this rea-
;on that it is revolving, and its purposes
are known to be despotic, coming from one
that has made himself political daspot
by his promptings of the outrages that
have been practiced upon the Southern
people, and kept them beneath an iron
heel, until the better Judgment of that
section has prevailed. 1t is a powerful
threat to his party, and it is for this rea-
,on and none other that Mr.. Morton now
comes forward with an instrument against
States rights and constitntionality.
