He now saw the fulfilment of that prediction. He spoke in great praise of the American nation the great things it had accomplished, and how, in the flower of its youth, it had acquired strength sufficient to arouse the jealousy of European nations; hut thero were errors of youth in nations as in men, and he would remind them of two he had notieed in them: Too great precipitancy in pur auit of material thingB and too proud a feel ing of independence. They prided them Helves in being Republicans. [There was a laugh in which the Cardinals joined. But they must remember that all mast bow the head to enter Paradise.

THINKS HATES HONEST AND WAS FORCED TO HIS POLIOY— REPUDI.IOAN NECESSARY TO RESTRAIN DEMOCRACY AND THE BOUTH IN THEIR ENDS—THIRD PARTY. Washington, May 25.—Morton publish a letter on the situation in answer to an open letter published in the New York 7Vmet and other private letters. Jle says, regarding .the credentials of Kellogg, after they had been referred to his oommittee :—The Committee on Priv ileges and Elections met soou afterward, and the Republican members united in a report that prima facie S. B. Paokard was the lawful Governor of Louisiana, the Legislature was the lawful Legislature, and that Win. P. Kellogg had beeu elect ed in oonformity to the act of Congress, and was entitled to be sworn in and take his seat as a member of the Senate. Sever iq members of the Senate were absent, and as the snbjeot would lead to a long debate, and there was general anxiety to ndjonrn, the report was not laid before the Semite. the majority of the Senate shall, at tho next session of Congress, he of tho opin ion that Kellogg was law fully elected by the Legislature Louisiana, be will he entit’ed to his seat, notwithstanding the evente that have ainoe occurred. No subsequout breaking up of that Legislature combine tion or arrangements can in the least ef- feot bis title or destroy the legality of what took plaoe at that time, through the very members who proolaimed the elect ion of Paokard and made that of Kellogg, should subsequently doolare that of Nich- olls and take part in the eleotion of Spof- ford. It is too clear for argument. They could not take away the rights which had been vesled, or made that unlawful whioh had beeu before lawful. Unless Kellogg voluutariy withdraws, the Senate will huvo to decide the question of his eleot ion as it stood at the lime of j adjourn ment. Tho Republican Governments of Lou isiana and South Carolina have yielded to foroe. They have gone down before au armed minority whose threats of future violenoe were guaranteed by a long train of bloody deeds done in the post. I regret that the real oliaraoter of the transaction should be obsonred in the least by pretended investigations or nego tiations. Stripped of all disguises and pretences tha simple feet is that Paokard and Chamberlain were not able to main tain themselves in authority, and tho Government of the United States, in the exercise of its discretion, refused them its support. Theu the Legislatures, finding themselves defenseless, fell to pieces, and from their ruins in part the new Legislature have been constitnted, whose legality consists only in the faot that there are none to oppoBe them. The law and the right of the majority have yielded to an armed aggressive minority. Morton, after describing what Grant might have done, intima! es that bad Hay os proceeded to maintain Paokard and Chamberlain by using the army, he would have proceeded to inevitable defeat. He says the Republican majority in the Sen ate upon the Southern question is lint nominal, if it existed at all. Five Re publican Senators voted at the late ex ecutive aession against seating Kellogg aud to refer bis credentials to a commit tee, thns refusing to recognizo the Paok ard government; and a number of Re publican Senators, sufficient, when added to the Democratic members, to constitute a majority, have steadily refused to reo- oguize the ltepublioan State goverumeut iu Louisiana ainoe 1873 by ruliDg against seating a Senator chosen by it. While, in my judgment, it was clearly the right of the President tinder the Con stitution to recognize the Paokard Gov eminent and support it with military pow er, the undertaking would have been fu tile and the failure disastrous. With a divided publio opinion in his own party, and both bouses of Congress against him, he would have failed in the ond. The Democratio House has power to destroy the army entirely, and from my knowledge of the Sonato I am sure the Republican majority of that body could hardly he relied on to Bupporthim in such a course. I do not belive that President Uayea intends to destroy the ltepublioan party aud attempt the emotion of a new one upon ita ruins. I believe in his patriot ism and high integrity, in hia undivided purpose to make the Administration a be neficence to the country. The largo body of the white pooplo who engaged in the rebellion are firmly enlist ed in favor of several things, and they will stand by the party that favors them, and oppose to the bitter end the party that opposos them. Among these is the payment of rebel property taken or de stroyed by our armies. When Mr. Tiklen wrote bis letter, just before olectioD, against these claims, ho lost hia hold upon the South, and was made to feel it in the late struggle in Congress. No Demo cratio candidate will repeat hia blunder. In tho late House the dividing line be tween rebel and loyal claims was ignored, and in a single Democratic administration would be obliterated. When this cornea to pass about claims, the distinction in rebel and Union debt will bo obliterated, and the lost slaves will he treated as oth er property sacrificed by our Government. It will not all be done or avowed at once, bnt step by step, already more rapid, un til the publio mind has become demoral ized. Tha rebellion hes oeased to be e orime, scarcely a mistake. The complete restoration of tho fraternity will demand abolition of ail distinctions in law be tween loyalty and treason. The Uepnblioan party was never more necessary to tho nation then II is to-day. All talk about laying down the Republi can organization to take up a new one with a new title, into which old Confed erates may enter without ’.'ounding their suscephblos, would be criminal, if it were not supremely silly.

THE LOPEZ-MOBRISON OASE—THE DAUGH TER PLACED IN THE OABB OF HER FA THER—A SUIT TO ANNUL THE MARRIAGE TO FOLLOW. Argument on the return to tho writ of habeas corpus heretofore issued iu favor of Georgisna Morrisou Lopez, the grant ing of which has beeu already notieed in the Herald, was beard before Judge Bar ren, iu Supreme Court, Chambers, yes terday. Tho petition of the hu-baud, on wh im tbe writ bus been grunted, stated that Ids wife was of tender age and weak mind, and that she whs restrained of her lit erty by her father, and ho, her bus band, forbidden to see or visit her. Iu obedience to the writ Mr. Morrison, ae- oompanied by bis daughter Georgquia, an older daughter und boo, some friends and bis counsel, Mr. Lyman W. Bates, np- pasrod in oourt about noou. Lopez was also p-esent, aoootupauiad by bis counsel, Mr. Gibbons aud an associate. AFFIDAVITS AGAINST LOPEZ. In reply to the allegations in Lopez's petition two affidavits were road on tie- half of Mr. Morrison, one by himself and one by tbe daughter, Georgians. In his own affidavit, Mr. Morrisou aworo that bis daughter is not restrained of her lib erty; that she is over twenty-one years of age, and has always lived with and been supported by him; thut tbe protended marriage betwoeu her and Lopez was only one in form; tbat she nevorhaa lived with her husband, and voluntarily lived with her fatbor; that the marriage was only an incident to and part of a plot of conspira cy originated by Lopez to extort rnouey from him, and that it is void fur fraud; that ha iH informed and believes Lopez has oalled himself and goes by tho nnmo of Lopez BoHohu, and at tho tirno of tliiH alleged marriage had a lawful wifo liviug. Georgiann, tho alleged wifo, swears that she resides with hor father and always has resided with him; that aho haa no desiro to leave him, and has not beon imprison ed, detained or restrained of her liberty. She admits marriage with Lopez, imme diately thereafter returning to her father's houae and never living with Lopez. At tbe time she married aho did so in good faith aud thought Lopez equally honest, but, from evidenoe whioh has since come to her and whioh she cannot doubt, sbe believes tbe aoreiuony wiih intended by bim only an a means to extort money from ber father, and that ho (Lopez) was at the time of aueli marriago tbe husband of another wouiau. Iu nddition to these affidavits counsel for Mr. Morrisou assorted that proceed ings had already been iDslitulod to annul the marriago, on tbe ground of fraud, and abundant evidenao would lie forth coming toshuw that on the very day of the marriage, nnd succeeding it, Lopez had spent four hours iu the private room of a courtesan, nnd bad come almost d - reotly from the arms of a woman of a sim ilar oharucter into oourt. Couu-ol on the other aido said they would bo able to coutrodiot these aasertious whenever tbe proper time oatne. As to tbe affidavit of the wife, he attributed it to the influence of the father, uuder whose oontrol alio was, and suggested that ahe be placed ander some other oontrol until tho court oonld have a fair opportunity to loaru hor owu wishos. THE RENULT. Although not qneutiouod ou either aido ns to tho restraint, whioh was denied in the dnughter’H affidavit, Judge Barrett in terrogated her aluno iu his private room ou that point. The result wiih that she was promptly givon back to her family, und Lopez was sent ou his lonely way.— JV. V, Herald. Fire In*iiruiico Mtutlstlc*.

Ttioro is a class of insurance risks deem ed extra hazardous whioh aro culled “specials,” and for which heavier premi urns are charged.
