Mr.. Morrill, had acqtired such a repu-
tation as a broad mir Aded and able au-
thority on political $natters that the
people of his district selected him in
1855 to represent them in the national
house of Representatives. He served in
the house continuously until March 5,
1867. During his term he was proni
nently identified with tariff legislation
and was the author of the famous Nor
rill tariff bill. He acted as chairman
of the ways and means committee in
1862 and his work there gave him a
national reputation.
He took his seat in the United States
senate March 4. 1868. and was reelected
at the close of each term. He was the
colleague for many years of Senator
Edmunds, for whom he entertained d
high regard. Mr.. Morrill's period of
service in the national legislature was
the longest. with a Single exception
Nathaniel Macon-in the history of the
United States government. He had few
enemies, even in politics, and his re-
turn to congress and the senate time
after time was usually without con-
test.
Personally he was quiet, even to the
point of reticence. 50 far as is known,
no lengthy biography of him has ever
been published. He Submitted to news
paper interviews only on the most i'm
portant occasions. He was a man of
pleasant manners and fine presence. He
looked more like "a wealthy English
gentleman than a product of ultra
American Vermont. His face was hand
some, the profile being as sharply cut as
a cameo. In ordinary conversation he
was dryly humorous. He was an able
speaker. but convinced rather by force
of argument than by the fire of elo-
quence. He was always regarded as
one of the foremost exponents of the
protective tariff in either branch of con-
gress.
For many years he had lived in a fine
ly furnished but not imposing house on
Thomas circle, Washington. and his
handsome stature. somewhat stopped
by age in the closing years of his life,

unconscious state into which he lapsed

cause of death was pneumonia. which

THE RIVER.

The river, after ''seein' howl it
could "a fout," appears to have
concluded to be good, and has
commenced to fall, with a prospect
that it will go down as speedily as
it rose. Life would not be natural
without our annual river excite
ment, and the supreme Importance
of the regular spring scare is
made manifest by the fact that it
even obscured for a time the war
clouds that have brooded SO dark

have perhaps a better system of
defense than ever before. The
levees are bigger and stronger, and

Death OF General Chalmers.

The death of General Jas. r..
Chalmers, which occurred at his
home in Memphis. was learned
with regret by many in Green
vile who bore in kind remembrance
the days when his friends
here were many and warm.
He was a man who, had he baen
content to follow, might have held
to the end the highest place in the
esteem of Mississippians. He was
the Malone Of Mississippi politics,
and his last venture on tho troub-
led sea, when he rGn Cor Congress
from this district, was q disap-
pointment and modification to
himself and those who were his
friends, The editor of the Vicks-
burg Herald expresses the feeling
of those who knew him in the
following apt and just language:
"Such is a brief review of the
checkered and sometimes stormy
career of the late Gen Chalmers.
That he possessed talent for the
service of the state his of citizen
ship, and of his devotion, was
abundantly provcd.-bOth in battle
and public Gpbate, He had be-
sides attractive and engaging
qualities, which prought troops
of friends and followers. Now
that Gen. Chalmers is NO more, 1t
is well to remember these marks
that stand to the credit side OF his
record. That bis better self was
warped and misled by passion, i'm
patience and embition-which be
failed in controlling-theee are
things now to be forgotten. At
least that is how one feels who,
once near to the deceased, has been
widely estranged from him for the
mast fifteen years"
