CnJUjmm D. R. FREEMAN. Editor and Proprietor. Satuday, Novemberio, 1877 McClellan has been ejected Governor of New Jersey by a handsome majority. Ex. Senator Lyman Trumbull, of Il linois, was married on Saturday last The contest for the Senatorship in Ohio is between Pendleton, Morgan, Ewing, Hurd and Payne, with chances strongest in favor of Pendleton. Hon. D. W. Voorhees has been com missioned Senator from Indiana, to fill the vacancy occasioned by the death ot 0. P. Morton. Pennsylvania has gone Democratic by ten thousand. Look here, what does this mean ? Washington dispatches credit Mr. fl*yes w ith the assertion that if Con gress passes a bill for the repeal of the resumption act he will veto it. Five State tickets divided the field: in tlu late elect! p in Wisconsin, viz Democratic, Republican, Greenback, Workingmen's and Prohibitionist. Gen Grant will not return to the United States until December, 1878 Clncinnati Enquirer. He can get cur oonsent to stay away even longer than that. The city of Philadelphia, the very nest of Radical rascality, was carried by the Democrats at there tit election The demoralization of the party crops out more and more every day. The Radicals have ruled Philadelphia since the war. Oliver P. Morton, U. S. Senator from Indiana, died on the Ist instant. Mor ton has been an important figure in our American politics, noted for his abili ties, his constant devotion to the Radi cal party, and in the South has been regarded one of her bit ercit tnemies .In Congress he has been an uncompromis* ing advocate of the most extreme meas urer of his party, and was even more bitter in his hatred to our section than Blaine. As the general aspects af the country are changing and the South will regain her fall power in the govern* ment, he couldn’t, perhaps, have found a more convenient time to peg out. He is gone, and we haven’t many regrets. OIK WASHINGTON LETTER. Washington, D. C. Nov. 5, 18TT. Editor Calhoun Times : All newspaper readers will have noted how carefully political questions have been held in abeyance in House and Senate up to this time. At high noon on Wednesday, or so soon there after as the rules of the House will per mit, is likely to be a change in this res pect. We cannot expect the extra ses sion to come and go without decided expressions of opinions on subjects which have been everywhere discussed since Mr. Tilden was elected President one year ago this month. Mcst intelli gent citizens believed that Mr. Tilden was elected. Siuce then one member of the Electoral Commission —Justice Brad y —has published a letter showing lout he was in doubt on the subject,and a letter of another member —Justice Strong—has been published explaining that he believed there were great Re publican frauds in Louisiana, and that his voice and influence were given to Mr. Hayes as a mattei of expediency. This is the substance of Justice Strong’s letter. Now, it may be that this same idea of “expediency” will prevent many Democrats from expressing a be lief that the Electoral Commission, was unconstitutional, and that Mr. Hayes is not legally President. This idea of “ expediency ” may prevent the suc cess of an effort to pass an act to enable Mr. Tilden’s friends to secure an early decision of that question by our highest Court. Rut there are doubtless many who will take other views of the mat ter, and who will express temperately but forcibly the general wish that the whole question may be settled in the only way it can possibly be settled.— We shall have the subject up for dis cussion. But for the patriotic cause taken in some important matters by Mr. Hayes it would have beeu impossible* to keep it so long in the background. But the country cannot afford to accept Mr. 11 ayes as President, il be is not in teal ity President, leca se of hi-good char acter. To compare small tilings with great, this view of the case has the wcjka-.ta as that of the boarder who ~ c v 11' et his ‘ pious exaui . plo ”i; vi mmily against ail accuum j itid board bill, li the section especial ly beueliltcd by the unexpected moder ation of Mr. Hayes snail object to a discussion of tils title, the leading men of that section will always if necessity rest under the suspicion of having sac,, rificed principle to the temporary good of their people. Let us have The Military Committee of the House hap decided no an appropriation for a regular ai iny of twenty thousand men. It is not likely the amount will be ma erially increased, and that numbo of men may be considered as the limit of ( ur aimy for the present For the purpose of securing a repre sentation of the United States at the Pa-is Exposition next year, it is be., lieved that §150,000 will be voted.— Messrs Ewing and Buckner, with theii propositions t<> repeal the resumption act and to remonetize silver, are find ing that their unquestioned majorities are not sufficient to secure even a vott of the He use on their measure A crafty minority, under the complicated rules of the llcnse,can defeat legislation on any subject. It requires barely more than one third of the members to defer almost indefinately the consideration of any measure No serious attempt has been mado'to consider matters outside of those just mentioned. The session will doubtless continue late into this month, but there seems to be a general disinclination to v nouiouco ou work that is not pres* 6ing. The report of the Commissioner of Patents for the past week, shows larger results than for the corresponding week last year—not in the number ot patents issued, that is less, but in the amount of work accomplished, The full force is now employed, which will be good news to the many inventors who have been holding back business, because they I’ea-ed the great fire hud impaired the efficiency of the efLci Reno. The death of Senator Morion is not an event over which the Sooth can af ford to lavish affected symp this In extenuation of his evil deeds, he did not even have the poor excuse of Sumner’s dull, solid, cou’racted mind. On the contrary, his mind was quick, active and powerful, aud his physical ability to carry out the evil conceptions of that mind were, until impaired by shameful excesses, fully equal to their perfoimance. We will not waste wud_ over that 1. and man’s fresnly dug grave. May he find peach there. But should occasion de amnd, we shall review his life as the Egyptians revi wed ,u li\es of thdr kings, whose shrouded corpses were brought forth before the multitude ,that those whom they had outraged during their days of power might at least invoke the vengeance ol 1 t.r mbi na over their remains! —Mobile Register. _ snv gutmlismcntg.
