MORTON ON The SITUATION.

The views of Senator Morton, on the
duty of Republicans in Congress are
given to-day in an article which ap-
peared in Morton's paper, the Indian.
apolis Journal. 1t is said that Morton,
who has been seriously ill for some
time past, is mental as we'll as phys
ical wreck, and it is extremely doubtful
that the views embodied in the Jour.
nails article are his, unless as stated,
his mind is failing. 1t is not possible.
that y. P. Morton, who devised the
"bloody shirt" as the most effective
emblem that could be used to fire the
Northern heart and fan the dying EN-
bers OF sectional hate engendered by
the war into an uncontroliable fame,
could stultify his record by taking such
o departure. He could scarcely, if ia
sound mind, be so inconsistent as to
throw the principles upon which he
has relied for success, throughaA those
years since the close of the war, over.
board. and adopt those laid down by
the Democratic patty at st. Louis.
1t. however,. these are the views
OF Senator Morton, he must have
experienced great change of heart
during his severe and protracted illness,
tits said of revilers of religion that when
Frustrated by sickness they repent of
their wickedness and seek consolation
in the Bible. Possibly this may be
the case with Morton in a political
sense. He was formerly Democrat,
and now, while lying at the point of
death. he endeavors to atone for the
wrongs he has done that party by
recommending Republicans to assist
the President In carrying out his
policy.

A POLITICAL JullBLE.

Politics are inextricably jumbled in
the Empire State. The Republican
State Convention at Rochester came
out squarely against the Admlnistra-
ton. Conkling and his followers spoke
right out III meeting against Hayes
and his policy, and. by u majority Of
nearly three to one, refused to pass a
resolution declaring Hayes title to the
Presidency as clear and legitimate as
that ofany former President of the Re.
public. On the other hand the Demo.
cratic State Convention at Albany en-
dorsed the policy OF the Administration,
aud placed the party in that State in
the position of supporting Hayes.
subsequently Convention or gather
ing, composed of men whe hold and
men who expect Federal offices, met in
New York City and approved the policy
of the President and extotled that
functionary above all of his prede-
cessors in the White House. This con-
dition of parties makes very compli-
Gated, yet interesting. political muddle.
If the nominees of the Rochester Con-
vention are elected their success can
not be claimed as an Administration
victory; while if the Democratic nomi-
nees are chosen, it will indicate that a
majority of the voters of New York ap.
prove the policy of the President. AS
the Office holders and seekers, who de.
nounced the action of the Rochester
Convention, cannot stullify themselves
by supporting the nominees of the
Rochester Convention, they must either
remain away from the polls or vote the
Democratic ticket. A Democratic
victory may therefore be expected in
New York on the. first Tuesday in
November. and, as in the Ohio case,
Hayes and Evarts will again have cause
for rejoicing. Such successes may be
very gratifying to the occupants of the
White House, but no reasonable man
will dispute. but what they are equally
satisfactory to Democrats and that
few more of them will wipe the Repub.
can party out of existence.

"oPTIoNs" ON THE BOARD OF TRADE

The recent. decision of the Supreme Court
in the case of LOGAN vs.. AIus1cK j. BRcwS,
involving grain transaction on the Board
of Trade, has general interest, inasmuch
rs it defines the statnte prohibiting gambling
contracts, aud makes clear and final dis
tiuction between ''option trades and the
purchase or snie Of property for future de-
livery. In the case under consideration,
1IUs1cK IL BHowS, netting rs commission
men, purchased for LOGAN 80. 900 bushels Of
wheat, which WAS to be delivered, under the
contract, before certain date in tho future.
The subsequent sale Of the property showed
Il loss, Which the commission firm had to
pny. The firm then sued LOGAN for the
amount lost in the transaction, and the latter
resisted the payment on the ground that the
contracts were void under the statute. The
Supreme Court Inns held that this transaction
does not come within the meaning of the
statute. The language Of the statute is
directed against the person who "contracts
to have. or give to himself or another, the
option to sell or bny at n future time" Tint
is to say, the purchase Of pr1ui{ege to buy
OF not to buy ut future date, or to sell or
not to sell at future date, is an option pro-
hiblted by law, but the actual purchase of
property: where the only option concerns the
date Of delivery, is not gambling contract.
The distinction is proper cne, aud it fairly
describes the legitimate business of the Board
Of Trade as distinguished from the i1Iegiti-
mnte OF scalping' trades. There can be
nothing unlowful or immoral in the actual
purchase Or actual sale of property, whcth-
er grain or other commodity, under
the agreement that it shall be- deIiy-
cred within certain time in the
future. 4 Chicago merchant may sell q
cargo Of grain to be delivered in Buffalo
the property cannot pnss from seller to pur-
chaser Immediately, because it requires time
to send the grain from Chicago to Buffalo;
at the same time it is natural that the pur
chaser should protect himself against un-
necessary delay. and thereupon the agreement
is made that the property shall be delivered
in Buffalo on or before certain date, and q
failure to comply with the terms Of the con-
tract subjects the seller 10 the payment Of
damages for the loss the purchaser may
suffer by reason Of such failure AS d mat
ter Of fact, two~thirds Of all the corn Tint
has come into Chicago within the last few
weeks has been purchased under these con-
hdons. The Chicsgo merchant buys of the

Foreseeing an adverse decision by the
Commissioner OF Internal Revenue on the
petition of the savings banks for exemption
from taxes, the counsel engaged on behalf OF
the banks hive determined to seek relief
from higher authority. 4 bill has been
prepared czemptiug such savings institu-
tions Except the State, already provided for)
as shall BECAME lnsolvent, from the burden Of
taxation under which they now rest. The
reason urged in behalf of the passage Of the
bill is, thut the statute contemp1ates the as
sessiug of the capital, profits, value of the
franchise or other taxable entity, and that,
as the act Of Insolvency destroys these, the
weight must fall on the depositors or cred
itors Of the bank k,-clearly m injustice to those
who are in no way responsible for the
destruction OF the elements upon which the
tax relies. Senator DAVIS has charge Of the
bill, and onr dispatches represent that le
will urge it earnestly to favorable consld~
e~atior
