Hon. George H. Morgan, who wss
elected speaker of the senate yester-
day, was born in Jackson courty, Ten

from a near relat;.v We of General Daniel
Morgan, Of Revolutionary memory,
being alserekted TO Daniel Boone, the
first settler of Kentucky. We are in
formed that he is related to Hon. Jno.
N. Bright, Of this state. His mothers
maiden name was Smith, being Of q
keHtpeky family, Mr.. Morgan was
raised on a hillside farm, his parents
being comparatively poor, the pillow
and the hoe being the companions Of
his youth. He has an academic edu-
cation, such as could be acquired in
the section where he lived, having
been q school and class mate of Hon.
Benton McMillin. The war blasted
his prospects for a collegiate educa-
ton. When the war broke out, at the
age of nineteen years, he went

out as a private, he was promoted to

eral Dibrells staff for the last two
years Of the war, being once wounded.
Returning home after the surrender,
be Of once went to work to restore q
state Of fraternal feeling among the
people Of his section, and has had
much to do in securing tho end de-
sired.
Dir. Morgan married the dauShter
of Hon. Thomas H, Butler. former

He was admitted to the bar in 1867.
and was elected attorney general of

but Yves elected By a large majority
over both. He is a war;, personal
friend OF Hon. S. II. Wilson, as we I'M
Serstand, and his successor in tho
senate.
The state credit MEN Of his county
supported him. he 7 sceivine the nearly
solid vote ofthe county. While be was
elected as q low Tax democrat, we un-
derstand him r. be very conservative
IN his news . nd warmly in favor Of
uniting the democratic party. Per-
haps no mJre suitable person could
have bee'1 selected to lead the party in
