Speaking of the Hawley talk, by the way. recalls the conduct of Connecticut delegates to the last national convention. Some of the Massachusetts men thought it would be good thing to push Gen. Hawley for the vice presidency, but they were surprised to find the delegates of his own state decidedly disappearing in the matter -iSprimatse1d Republican.
 An inference from the above would be Gen. Hawley's unpopularity with his own delegation. Perfectly groundless. At that time Gen. Hawley preferred a seat in the senate to the vice presidency, and the del egates all understood this fact.

Boston's eccentric preacher, Rev. Hen ry Morgan, died Saturday, 22d inst, of pneumonia. He was 59 years old, and was well known throughout New England. He was the author of several sensational books, probably the best known of which is "Boston Inside Out" He daily con- ducted services in the Morgan Chapel, " on Shawmut avenue. This chapel was purchased with money raised by subscrip- tion, and the deed made out ill Morgan's s name. A nice legal point will probably be raised in relation to the possession of this property. If he has died without a will, the property will revert to his broth CT. who resides in Newtown, Conn. The largest subscribers, among whom was ex- Governor Clafin, will institute proceed ings to determine Morgan's right of pos session. The estate is valued at about $!50 GOO.

cOmmltCe0, 10 whom the D1u was reIerreu, were so obtuse that no amount of argu- mest could persuade them to make fa- vorable report, and the bill was killed. Tuesday last the house passed bill on this very subject almost identical in the wording with the one brought up ten years ago.
 THE committee on the Bartholdi statue pedestal at New York finds that the psdes- tai will cost $34O, 900, instead of $25O, ,OOO,
 as had been estimated. The granite alone will cost $24O, 1000. They have received in 2 all but $14O,00O. They have spent thus far $70, ,000 on the concrete foundation, and it is but little more than two-thirds finished. The funds come in slowly. They ought to flow in faster. And while New York city should bear the brunt of the cost, it must be remembered that the statue is a gift to American people-not to the city of New York.
 THE supporters of Edmunds scold Con- necticut republicans for dividing the influ- ence of New England, which it thinks ought to be concentrated on one man. The story of the eleven obstinate jurymen points moral in this case. Connecticut isn't booming Gen. Hawley. The boom is outside, but we are more than willing to let it go on. And, while recognizing Judge Edmund's ability and availability, we won't admit that it exceeds Gen. Flaw ley's. The candidate will be New Eng land man only bysthe grace of outside support. No New England republican, unless we except Mr. Blaine, is so thor oughly known throughout the country, and so thoroughly respected as Gen. Haw- ley. He is not pushing for the nomina- tion, nor are his friends pressing his name, but he has 8 reputation for statesmanship that does the boom business for itself. It Is asking too much of Gen. Hawley's friends that they throw cold water on any movement in his behalf outside of the state, or that they neglect to see that he has friendly delegation from his own state.
 The steamer City of Worcester, of the Norwich line, will resume her trips on April l. She has been thoroughly over- hauled and repainted and vanished more powerful engines have been put in to run the electric lights, and now every state room is fitted with the incandescent light. The City of Boston has also been repaint- ed and improved, and will be fitting mate for the City of Worcester.
