MORTON MOURNED.

A Letter of Sympathy from Gen. Grant.
indianapolis, Nov. 2S.-The follow
ing letter was received here yesterday:
Paris, Nov. 5.-My Dear Mrs. Nor
ton:-Thc painful news of your bereave-
ment, and the nations great loss in the
death of your great husband, has reached
us here by telegraph. While l was
reading from the latest paper of his
rapid recovery, this sad news came.
His services as Governor of Indiana,
in the most trying times the nation has
ever passed through, and his counsels
and services in the Senate since and
during such an eventful period, will
rank with Americas greatest patriots
and statesmen. You have the sympa-
thy of all good citizens in your great
bereavement, and none 1 know sympa-
thize more sincerely than Mrs. Grant
and myself.
Very truly and sincerely, your obedi'
ent servant, U. S. GRANT.

The opponents of the Union Pacific,

THE opponents of the Union Pacific,
by fortunate parliamentary dis
covery, succeeded in passing in the
House the Chaffee resolution of in
quiry, which has been stubbornly op-
posed in the Senate. The resolution
was introduced early in the day in the
House, and went over upon objection,
but just before adjournment Critten-
den, of Missouri, who presented the
resolution, discovered that to-day was
the first of the six days before the end
of the session, within which motions to
suspend the rules at any time are in
order. He had strength enough to do
this, there being less than fifty oppos-
ing votes and the House having consid-
cradle more than quorum. Thus the
opposition of the Union Pacific people
in the Senate will avail nothing, as the
resolution goes to the President in ex-
actly the language in which it was pre-
sented by Senator Chaffee.

Thomas a. Stow, Il well known jour-

The wrecking of two freight trains

caused damage of $4,000. No lives
lost.
The signal service observer, at the
wreck of the Huron, reports that the

and Thos. Armstrong, seaman, who
were lashed to the bowsprit, have been
brought ashore.

We have genuine dramatic novelty
at last. A young woman whom we had
scarcely heard of before her first appear
ance here, has bounded into the good
will of the critics and the public at one
spring. The name of the phenomenon
is Miss Mary Anderson. She is, we
believe, native of Louisville, and only
eighteen years old. She is playing
pauline, Z" in Bulwer's Lady of Lyons,
at the Fifth Avenue, N. Y, and play
ing it so well, that all who see her are
astonished. Miss Anderson has three
qualities which mark her out for
distinction on the stage. These are,
exceedingly handsome person, a rich,
full, melodious voice, and a fresh and
original mind. Her Pauline is the best
in conception as well as in expression
that any inexperienced actress has yet
produced. It fairly took the critics
and the audience by storm the first
night, and the good impression then
made has since been more than sus.
tained. If Miss Anderson can do as
well in other parts, she is destined to
reach high place on the American
stage. Youth, beauty and power she
already has, and experience will bring
her whatever she needs else. Her en-.
gagement at the Fifth Avenue is
already an emphatic success, and is
profitable alike to the manager and his
youthful star.

Chinese Complications

San Francisco, Nov. 2S.-Open and
public threats by large public gather
ings have been made for weeks past to
drive out the Chinese residents and de-
stroy their property. A procession has
been devised for the Goth for the ayow-
ed purpose of executing these threats.
Heretofore the Chinese residents have
been denied the protection guaranteed
to them in articles l and II of the
Gushing Treaty and article 4 of the
Burlingame Treaty, and now appeal to
the United States Government to main
tain and carry out the treaty obliga-
tions without delay.

Patterson's Peril,

Columbia, Nov. 2S.-The special
committee which has been investigat-
ing Patterson since last spring, reported
to-day. 1t had examined forty men,
bers of the legislature, white and COL
ored, who concur that Patterson's elec-
tion was secured by bribery. About
twenty testified that they were bribed,
either personally by Patterson or his
agent, Worthington, receiving amounts
ranging from 800 to $4,000. About
twenty more testified that offers of
bribes were made to them and refused.
Elliott, colored, eX-member of Congress,
who was Patterson's most formidable
opponent, was offered $4,000 to with
draw from the contest, which he re-
fused. The offer was made by J. b.
Dennis in the name of Patterson. Maj.
Martin II. Delany, colored, was present
and corroborated Elliott's statement.
The governor afterwards appointed j..
b. Dennis jury commissioner, to draw
juries for the protection of Patterson,
when he was indicted for procuring his
election by bribery, and the arrange
ment was successfully completed. Every
witness testified that it was generally
known among the members that Patter-
son was purchasing his election. The
evidence shows that votes were bought
while the election was in progress,

The Lynehing of Raper.

Nashville, Nov. 2s.-The American 's
special from Columbia, Tennessee, says
Raper, alias MCGEE, who attempted q
rape on Miss Bette Templeton, was
taken from Jail this morning by mob,
who, after several unsuccessful at
tempts to lynch him on the spot, were
persuaded to allow committee of
twenty to take him into the presence of
the lady. She positively identified him
as the guilty one. He was then taken
to the courthouse and, from the third
story, lynched in the presence of fully
two thousand people.

that, if the protection of Texas re-

the protection of the northern belt of

other hostile Indians range, would re-
quire at the same ratio force of 4O,-

which Judge Spofford alluded to. When
Judge Spofford read to the committee
his fourth charge, as to the completely of
Kellogg with the returning board in
illegal acts, Kellogg got up to join issue
with him, when Hoar, a member Of the
committee, objected. Spofford did not
make his charge behind the door, but
said he could prove it, and so far as any
testimony having been taken last win
ter on the subject, Spofford said facts
had recently come 70 his knowledge.
He (HilD appealed to every Senator Of
this floor to sink partisan feelings for
the moment and not deny the right Of
this contestant to take testimony, which
any court ON earth would not refuse
him. Kellogg came here now to claim
the price of his fraud; he came here to
ask that this Senate would give effect
to that fraud. A committee had been
appointed to examine all such cases,
| and this committee said: 1--WE have
taken so much testimony about return
ing boards that we will take no more. :"
Wadleigh said the Field committee
took testimony on this very point.
