NEW YORK, February 10Th, 1883.
By the death OF Governor Ed
win D. Morgan, the country in gem
eral and the Republican party in
particular loses a man who in every
respect deserves to be recorded as one
of the foremost men that ever helped
the Empire State to its present lead
ing position. Too modest to pose as
a statesman, too proud to be a politi-
elan, too SENSIBLE to be a mere orator.
and too practical to indulge in
visionary schemes, he possessed those
qualities which combined make up
an ideal executive officers. 1t re-
CURED a man like him during the
stirring times of the war, when the
national government was listless and
it beloved the State governments
to inspire action of some kind. With
his sound common sense, he saw
what had to be done and with his
indomitable will he carried it out.
The welfare of the Republican party
was always dear to him, and in his
quiet transformations but none the less
vigorous way, he contributed i'm
measurably to its support, and by his
presence in its ranks he helped to
give it that tone, conservatism which
has made it the representative party
of the country and to which the PEG.
pie are to look up to for the preser-
yation of their rights.
A Republican Senator tells me that
there is very little chance of having
the Shipping Bill brought up in the
Senate at the present session. The
bill passed the House early in Jan.
uary, and it was proposed TO bring it
up in the upper House after the Tariff
discussions had ended. There al but
two weeks more, however before
March 4th, and the discussions will
probably consume all that time. Be-
sides, the Committee on Commerce
finds it necessary to report the bill
with amendments. Hence, should it
be brought up at all it cannot be dis
posed of, the time being too short.
Democratic reform at Albany con-
tlnues to show itself by hampering
every department not controlled by
themselves. The serious manner in
which the Legislature cut the appro-
priation necessary for the purposes of
the Emigration Commissioners on
Wednesday last is the case in point.
The poor immigrant must suffer and
be exposed to the Vaccinations of
every kind Of swindlers, that the
Democratic Sol0ns may parade their
economy and reform.
Senator Window it is said, will
after his retirement take up his resi-
dence in New York, joining that al
ready large colony of distinguished
men who have gained fame and for
tune in the PROVINCES and come to
the metropolis to enjoy them and if
possible to add to them. Ex-Gover-
nor Stanford of California, has made
quite at home here now, and
to further emphasize his determine
ton to make the most of New York
life, he is going to buy string of race
horses and seek the same distinction
on the turf which he has already
gained on the trotting track. New
York Is getting to be more and more
the Paris of American. All good
Frenchmen hope to get to Paris on the
Seine before they die, and fond par
snts seek to provide their children
with education and means sufficient
70 make the capital their home. The
'ame feeling with regard to Gotham
seems to be growing in this country.
Bachelors in town have certainly
10 reason to find fault with the &C.
provided for them in
he matter of comfortable homes.
There are three first class apartment
houses in existence now where the
Unmarried Sybarite may enjoy the
comforts of home with the MANY
onveniences of a hotel. The estab-
ishments are fitted up in hard wood
throughout, provided with every
