OBITUARY..
OLIVER p. MORTON.

Oliver p. Morton, United States Sena-
tor from Indiana, was born in Wayne
county, in that State, on the 4th of
August, 1928. He was educated at the
Miami University, Oxford, Ohio. Up
on graduation lie began the study of
the law, and was admitted to the lndi
ana bar in 1647. Five years later he
was elected Circuit Judge of the Fifth
judicial District Of Indiana, and in 1856
was nominated by the Republicans for
the office of Governor of the State. lie
was defeated, but in 1860 was elected
to the Office of Lieutenant Governor
upon ticket headed by Henry S. Lane
for Governor. This latter gentleman
was inaugurated in January, 1861, and
two days later resigned his Office to take
the seat of United states Senator to
which he had been chosen by the Legis-
lature. BY this transfer Oliver p. Nor
ton became Governor of Indiana and
found himself at the head of that Com
monwealth at most critical period OF
our history.
The events which led to the late Re-
bellion having eliminated in the attack
on Fort Sumpter, on the 18th of April,
1861, threw the whole country iLtO the
confusion of civil war. Foremost
among the men to come to the support
of the Government during these trying
times was Oliver p. Morton, and when
the first call for $4,000 troops to sup.
press the Rebellion was made by Presi'
dent Lincoln, Indiana was among the
first States TO furnish her quota. At
this time the finances OF the State were
In deplorable condition, but Govern
or Morton procured the passage by the
Legislature, on April 20th, of law
authorizing an appropriation of S0OO,-
900 for the purpose OF arming and
equipping the military furnished by
the State.
In the dark days that followed, Gov.
ernOT Morton was staunch supporter
of President Lincoln, strengthening his
hands by large contributions Of men
and money, aud by his vigorous coun.
sells. He thus won the name as one of
the "great war Governors" with Cur
tin, Yates, Morton, Andrews and Tod,
whose united efferts did so much to up
hold the cause of the Union during the
war. Through Governor MOrton's ef-
forts Indiana did her share in furnish.

Our Boston Letter.
Boston, Nov. 3, 1877.

The papers, glad of an excuse to
create an excitement, and partly to re-
press what they consider unjust, have
one and all been going for our city
fathers, and the poor men must be
haunted by animated dinner bills and
spectre dinners night and day. Several
aldermen have been frightened into
moving that no meals be allowed at the
city's expense, which looks bad, par
ticularly when they accompany the
movement with an assurance that 1t Is
not to influence the next election.
However, these good little boys were
defeated, and the dining is to go on,
even to the wines, cigars, &C., and as
natural consequence, soda water-and
-ahem l-carriages. To be sure, they
should not cheat us, but seriously
speaking, the members of our govern
ment certainly work hard for the city
for no salary, and when necessary, why
shouldn't they dine at the city's ex-
pense, and dine well-better than they
could afford to at hOme-without hav-
ing every article of food weighed, and
discussed, and commented upon by
men who in their secret hearts wish
they were there, and could have some
too? 1t is small business, but since
we are not able to get up a big "Ring,"
we must quibble over a little semi
circle.
The babies of the Baby Show are
having delightful times at Horticultural
Hall, and like the show business i'm
mensely. The great excitement now is
the prizes. They will, of course, be
kept as long as the crowd continues.
The grand event of the week is, of
course, the Opera-Madame Pappen-
helm and Charles r. Adams. The lat
ter has a glorious physique, dark olive
skin, black curly hair, eyes that shoot
lightning when he becomes excited,
and many a Boston girl has felt the
shot quick and sharp as she listened in
wrapped attention from the orchestra.
Dick Shaw, the fiend, also known as
DR.. Lands, rests, painting for more
men to murder at the little Variety
Theatre.
George L. Fox, the actor, died in
Cambridge, last week, Of softening of
the brain, the disease that he has been
suffering from for some time, and
brought on by overwork How little
does any one out of the profession
realize the hard, weary work of many
an actor. Fox was fifty two years old,
and had been on the stage, with the eX.
cepton of short interval, since he was
five, at which age he performed a
chid's part so well as TO be called
several times before the curtain.
The Harvards beat set of men from
the McGiIl University. Montreal, badly
at foot ball, but did not distinguish
themselves particularly in the boat
races of Saturday.
The authoress of "One Summer"
has given US another book, Letters
from Abroad" 1t was kind of her,
but we are sorry she did it. sorry she
did not wait until her forces had gath
cred themselves together and become
equal to her first attempt at book maxi
ing.
Two more weeks will bring us to the
end of this dragging campaign, and
then we shall breathe easily until De-
cember, when we will try our hand at
electing Mayor. MoNTJoY.
