Governor Morton.

Since the death of Senator Morton.
the following letter has been given To
the public:
"IO Governor Morton.
My DEAR GoyERNOR:-I think il is
the right of men who have ably and
faithfully served their country, to know
that their labors are appreciated as they
merit; so | will not deny myself the
pleasure of telling you that Secretary
Stanton was with me last evening, and
we naturally, turning over our minds To
the past, fell to talking of you.
We agreed that no governor rendered
such services or displayed such courage
in the necessary assumption of lust re-
sponsibilities, or more ability in admin
istration; and we also agreed that your
recent services were most meritorious
of all, because rendered under circum-
stances of greater personal risk to health
and life, and would have been, by al,
most any man, regarded, and by all
men accepted, as good reason for total
inactiOn.
| have seldom heard Stanton express
himself so earnestly.
hope you will derive some satisfac-
ton from this little relation. The talk
gave much TO me. Cordially your
friend, 5. p. CHASE.
Washington, Nov. 10, 1851
At a later day, George ID. Prentice,
Of the Louisville Journal, thus acknowl-
edged the services of Governor Morton !:
"He has been emphatically Kentucky's
guardian spirit, from the commence
ment of the dangers that now darkly
threaten her very existence. Kentucky
and the whole country owe him large
debt of gratitude. Oh, that all the pub
lie functionaries of the country were as
vigilant, as clear sighted, as energetic,
as fearless, as chivalrc as he is.''

The Late Col. A. u. Foster.

Col. A. B. Foster, whose sudden
death, at Montreal, has so shocked his
numerous friends, was born in Dunn
merston, near Brattleboro, VT, in 1917,
but removed with his father, the late
DR.. Stephen Sewell Foster, TO Frost
village, two miles from Waterloo, u. O.,
when he was four years old. lie was
educated in Canada, until he had reach
ed the age of twenty years, when he
joined his uncle, s. +. Belknap, the eel
ebrated railroad contractor, with whom
he was extensively engaged in construc-
ting railroads in Massachusetts, Maine,
and Vermont. After Il successful career
of fifteen years he returned from the
United States to Canada, and launched
into railway enterprises of magnitude.
His first contract was on the Grand
Trunk from Richmond to Quebec. This
was followed by the Siandstead, Shet-
ford and Chambly. connecting st. Johns
with Waterloo. lie next built the
Southeastern, from West Farnham to
Newport, and made the extension OF
the Canada Central from Sand Point to
Pembroke. He also received the con-
tract from the Canada Central from
Nipissing. lie was elected in 1858 mem
Der for Shefford in the Canada Assem-
bly, After two years service he resign
ed and was returned by reclamation to
the Legislative Council for the district
of Bedford. On the accomplishment of
the confederation he was appointed 10
the Senate ofthe Dominion, from which
he retired two years ago on receiving a
contract for the construction of the
Georgian Bay Branch of the Pacific
Railway. He has lately been actively
engaged in making arrangements 10
complete his contract. Financial trou-
bles overlook him some time ago, but
he was hoping and laboring with encr-
gy to relieve himself. He had long been
afflicted with heart disease. which is
hereditary in his family. Last June. in
Saratoga, he suffered severely, and after
his incarceration, two weeks AGO. in
lrasburg Jail, he had another attack. His
physicians prescribed rest for him. and
counselled him to beware of excitement.
The recent trouble which he has had
no doubt, fastened his death. Mr..
Foster had Il mania for building roads.
and he not only invested all his own
money in them, but induced his friends
likewise to embark in such spccuations.
The result of his almost hcrculean Ia
bOrs has been to serve the Dominion
rather than to bring any substantial re-
ward to his own family. His remains
were removed 10 Waterloo, on Thur,-
day. for intcrmcnt.

brotherhood of man." commcnds itself
TO the common sense of the race. The
consideration that tho only advantages
we have over our unciviizcd brothers
arise from our being the recipients of
greater favors at the hands of the Great
Ruler of the universe may be somewhat
humliating, but is rather n cause of
thankfulncss. 1t may be something of
n question whether our condition is so
very much better than theirs after all.
They certainly would not he willing To
exchange with us. The Celestials. for
instance, are as far from cnvying us as
we are from envying them. They think
as much of their three thousand-year-
old civilization, their literature and
science, their governmental and rclig-
ious institutions, which are older than
even the Jewish system, as families do
of their ancient names. And il is not en-
tirely without reason that they lay claim
to superior scientific aiiainmcuts. Their
greatest lack is in the want of univer-
salty of cultivation and in the moral
results of religion which has power to
mould the life and character as does
Christianity. Mr.. Seward gave, as the
result of his observations while visiting
that country. his opinion that the cult
waited classes of China did not compare
unfavorably in an intellectual point OF
view with the people of the west; but
in moral qualities and the power that
comes with them they arc sadly def
cient. What is true of China is to some
extent true of Japan, Russia and other
eastern nations.

~ The elections last Tuesday show
q lighter vote in all the states holding
them than was polled at the presiden-
tial election last year, though the rcla-
tive results are not materially changed.
On the whole we must consider that the
Republicans have not lost ground and
have gained something. In Connect.
cut the vote was not above an average
one, and the interest was not very great.
The senate will stand thirteen Rcpnb-
licans to eight Democrats. Republic
en- gain of two, while in the House
the Republicans retain their advantage
gained last year, showing from thirty
five TO forty Republican majority.
This will insure Republican successor
TO VIM. III. Barnuin, the present United
State senator from Connecticut, who
isa Democrat. The result of the New
York election shows that the Rcpubli-
cans have held their own and pro-
badly gained somewhat. Allen c.
Beach is elected secretary of state
Frederick p. Olcott, comptroller:
James Mackin, state treasurer, and
Horatio Seymour, Jr., son of the former
governor, state engineer and surveyor
all Democrats. The most important
point in the election is the defeat of
Augustus Schcll by John Morrisscy in
Slat Al 4.
New York city, by some $500 majority.
1t is practically Tammany defeat. for
Schell was backed by Gloss" Kelly,
who lent all his energies 10 defeating
Morrissey. Morrissey was the anti
Tammany nominee, and was Endorsed
by the Republicans also. The Repub-
licans will have control of both branch
es of the Legislature and elect snc-
cessor to Senator COnkling
In Massachusetts Gov. Rice was re-
elected by $1,000 majority.
In New Jersey the contest for the
governorship was between Gen. Nc
Clellan, Democrat, and ex-Gov. Newell,
Republican. The returns show that
Mcclellan is certainly elected, and by a
probable majority of 10000, while the
Democrats probably carry both branch
es of the legislature.
In Pennsylvania the indications are
that the state has gone for the Demo
Gratis.
Returns from Wisconsin indicate the
success of the Republicans. The Green
hackers in the state polled large vote.
Kansas and Nebraska have gone Re
publican by large majoriiies. Mime
sofa gives about her usual Republican
majority. Maryland is Democratic as
usual.

Freaks of Elections.

II sometimes requires only very tri-
fling thing to turn an election either for
or against a candidate, and history OF
the curiOsities of elections would doubt
less be very interesting reading. A
funny incident in the recent Ohio cleo
lion nearly cost Mr.. John &. Covert. of
the Cleveland Leader. his seat i'm thc
legislature. lie was running on the
Republican ticket and seemed eel tain
of large majority, when the opposi-
ton managers suddenly bethought them
selves that in June, 1876, he had writ
ten for his paper n very sensible article
on "Cheap Living" wherein he ably
showed that, for six cents, a soup could
be made of peas, onions, asparagus,
spinach, and small beef bone, which
any butcher would be willing to almost
give away, which would make good
meal for poor mans family. Upon
the strength of this he was at once as
sailed as the ''soup-bone candidate -
who thought refuse bones good enough
for American workingmcn, and numer-
Gus cartoons representing him ladine
out soup for votes, ETC., were circulat-
ed. The result was that it required an
official count to decide that he was
elected by about twenty votes, though
his district went Republican by large
majority for other officers.
This recalls the fact that Tom Corwin
won his first Congressional election in
a district hopelessly given over to the
opposition, by telling how his oppo-
nent, who did indeed wear "storc-
Clothes" slept in night-gown. lie in
tended the story as joke, but the stur-
dy freemen of Ohio look it in earnest.
and rallying against the efieminate and
pampered aristocrat, defeated him.
A certain Wing candidate in New
York stopping for dinner at wayside
inn, ordered his beefsteak to be broiled
instead of fried, an act which his con-
stituency considered as putting on
airs, and they promptly made that
broiled steak an issue in the campaign,
and defeated the man who was too high
toned TO eat his beef fried, like other
people.
The late Chief Justice Chase once con-
quered an entire Ohio county by din
ncr of bread and milk. While candi-
date for governor he went into a small
country town to make speech, and
among his auditors was I'm honest farm
er who came many miles TO hear him
speak, but whose mind was not TO he
set at rest until he had seen what he
would eat. Mr.. Chase had been indis-
posed for day or two, and ordered
bread and milk for dinner. The farm
er was delighted. "Chase is the man
for governor" he said to his friends.
Gle only eats bread and milk. lie Is
no stnck-np Teller. lie is like MS and is
the farmers candidate And the farm.
.cr told the iact all over the county.
and when The votes were counted Il
was found that the bread and milk had
won larger Wing majority than had
ever been known in that section before.

TT The mysterious return of A. Oak
ey Hall after a mysterious absence of
six months is one of the topics of New
York gossip, just now. His explana-
nation is not regarded as sufficient TO
account for the circumstances of the
case, and certain fertile imaginations
are now suggesting that there was prob
ably woman in the case. 1t may be
the fact, but the suggestion would have
been made either with or without such
4 state of facts, in the one case Just as
quickly as in the other. This, with
some men, is the standing reason for all
human dclinquencies and freaks of con-
duct, for which there are no other visi-
BILE reasons.
