From the New Orleans Picayune.

From the New Orleans Picayune.
 Senator Morgan has been in the United States senate since March 5, 1877. He is one of the ablest men from the south in that body, and any change that would set him aside would be a great loss to the country and to the south. If the Picayune has not at all times been in harmony with General Morgan, it has had occasion many times to applaud his able and patriotic action in the senate, and it rejoices that he will continue, it is hoped, for years to come to adorn the place he fills and to serve his country with such eminence and benefit.

It is safe to say that the victory of Sem ator Morgan of Alabama fin his campaign for another term in the senate is source of satisfaction throughout the south. h. deed, in the north it is very generally de- sired that he shall be retained in the sen ate. There are very few men as able as he in that body, and there are none who are more conscientious in the discharge of their public duties.

 Never did a pretentious campaign col lapse so utterly. The triumph of Senator Morgan is to a certain extent personal one, for his service to his state and coun- try in congress for quarter of a century has been so distinguished that his people must naturally have found it difficult to persuade themselves to vote against him.
