Son of Liberty Radioal.
H. H, Dodd, commonly known ns "Dick Dodd,” who made himself soi+h what notorious during the war by ti * - m ing us the head of the "Knights of the Golden Circle” of this State, is
ow one of the republican leaders at Fon du Lac, Wisconsin, where he has resided since the war. Dodd was arrested for treason during the war and confined In the third story of the government building at Indianapolis. He very mysteriously escaped from those who had him under guard and went to Canada and remained there until after the war. He turned up in Wisconsin after the war was over and is now a full fledged Republican. He recently presided over a republican meeting in Fon du Lac, and was made a delegate to the republican erm ven - lion or that county. It was very strongly suspected that lie was work iug in the interest of the republican party when he was organizing the Knights of the Golds n Circle and that he was aided in his escape by those In authority at that time. It was not much of a change for him to get into the republican ranks as a worker, as he is now only doing openly w'mt he was secretly doing during the war. it is not liKely, however, that ho will be able to do as effective service for the repeblican party in his present . de as he did wnen professing to ben Democrat.—Richmond Free Press.
“The Sons of Liberty” organization originated in the fertile brain of Mr. Morton, and was used by him ami his followers to manufacture odium against the Democratic party, mid l-v that means to build up and perj etu ate his own Dodd was a eat av in his hands to seduce a few Lot-J.i-aded and indiscreet Democrats into tae order, who were promptly, arrested, convicted by a military eomniis- > ion, condemned, and the Demdcratie party,, through them, denounced as a band’of traitors. Time is mailing all things even. To-day, twenty four Democratic Governors M ut of thirty eight!

JUSTICE TO MOBTON.
J REVIEW OF THE CHARACTER OF THE DEPARTED INDIANA STATESMAN, Reaaons 'Why He May Not Be Regard" ■ e<l an a Great Man. Uit Tergiversatio .u and Violations c' Justice---“The Evil that Men Do Lives After Them." From the Chicago Tiinva. Nothing Extenuate—Nor Set. Down Aught In Malice." Plymouth, Ind.. Nov. 12.—/'Speak i o evil of the dead,” says lhe adage. Shakspearo makes Mark Antony say The evil th t men do lives after them The good is oft interred with their bones. If men in their lifetime do evil, and that evil lives after them, and their survivors must suffer from that evil, wo must hold more respect for the dead doerof the evil, and for his memory, and for the living evil he left us to .after from, than we have for our.s.dves, for good, or for those who . nine after us, if we regard the adage and keep silent. One of the healthy elements of modern progress is the growing disregard oi such adages as this. In common with thousands of oth- ■ rs, 1 disagree with many positions taxen by The Times, and am not pleased with its manner of <1 aling with subjects sometimes, nor the language it uses on some occasions: but its entire independence and its fairness in allowing all sides a hearing, as well as its distribution of information gleaned from every source of knowledge in everv field where information ■ ‘an be found, commands the respect .u well as admiration us all fairminded persons. As one among its readers. permit me !o thank you for your utter disregard • f the senseless adage above quoted, and while the lelegraph was yet telling of the last hours of a man just dead, that you sent forth an evidence of the true mission of journalism by . ailing attention to the fact that he I.ad done evil, and it would live after him.
Looked at from the position of former and through the refl ■'■ted light, of modern superstitions, your position .nd mine are unpopular on this subject; but if the good men do somo'imes lives after them, and as ovil can be couuteiacted and its results ameliorated only by good, we' must regard only the good, and seek to aid rn its accomplishment, regur Hess of the temporary censure springing from prejudice or a false per -vpt.ion of truth and duty. The late Oliver P. Morton has had his “brief hour upon the stage,” Find, b dng dead, the evil which hf did lives after him; and, unless the good he did will counteract that evil, then his life is not a subject for eulogy, and it is tire duty of those who speak of it to
SPEAK OF IT AS IT WAS; and if there be those who publish his life to the world as that of a great man, who was a fit example for others to follow, then duty requires thu‘ ■-u -h eulogies shall not go uncontradieted. Prominent men are not necessarily t reat men. The names of Jack Cade and Capt. Kidd will live in history long after the name of Monon will be forgotten. Their doings and acts will be read of long after Mortonj’s snail have passed into oblivion; but all the
evils they did were ephemeral in th ir ''2j|cte compared with his, and all the j|Mpry they directly caused was as to the mountain compared with that which his acts and teachings caused. Positive and effective abilities in men are things to be admired when they are used for some good purpese; when used for evil, they are to be regarded as misfortunes, and their possessors as proper subjects for censure instead of praise. The great orator who excites the people to insurrection without cause; the great artist who uses his power to debauch the young; the skilled mechanic who uses that skill to commit and cover crime; the man of courage and executive ability who is a successful marauder only ir the display of his powers, are not called great.— If they avoid the charge and conviction of crime, and yet obtain positions where they exercise power and intlu ence which affect the general pilbli , on the same principle they .would commit crime if less cautious; they are not great in any sense; and tho’ they become notorious Find prominent, it is not the notoriety or prominence of greatness. Greatness is a thing that orows; little by little it thrusts itself forward like healthy roots in the soil, under and around all obstructions, until they are forced aside. It comes upon njen during
long years of silent progression, with no thought r idea on the nart of the actor of becoming great. No such thought entered the mind of Newton or Herschel; of bhakspeare or Shelley; of Fulton or Morse: of Franklin or Huxley; or any other of the truly great men who have ever lived. Any attempt to elevate Morton to the position of a great man must end in failure. That he possessed abilities which, if rightly exercised, wo’d have made him gn at, was true; but false edueatiou, false perception, and an overwhelming
DESIIiE Fol; PERSONAL NOTORIETY ami power.- mistaking it for the evi donee of greatness,—led him to use of those abilities which could never accomplish greatness, but would and did accomplish incalculable evil and suffering; and while it gave him temporary notoriety, power, yet, as Ihe Times truly said, he w>ll be forgotten almost with his funeral. His perceptive faculties enabled him to read men. He knew how readily a temporary public opinion could be created by appeals to the prejudices and passions, and how uhreflective lhe great mass of the people was, whether fr.un want ot knowledge of facts, or leadiness to believe one who thought mid talked with force, of th ugs apparently true, but in a region beyond their comprehension. So fully did he rely on this knowledge and his abi’ity to deal with it that he never faile I to test it to the utmost, and his boldness reached an ami.’city at times on the very limits of recklessne s. He would n>t hesitate a moment to say that “God was a nigger,” before ten thousand people to-day, and to morrow swear before the same audience he never said it, if by that means he could accomplish the end ho aimed at, and though he might not convince them al) he did not say it. he would so divide the opinion as to prevent Injuiy to himself with the mass, and induce the whole of Ids followers to regard it as a matter of no consequence. His admirers mistake this boldness for true courage. Reflecling men must regret that it was but
THE GAMBLER S RECKLESSNESS, based on a thorough knowledge of his surroundings. When t. cd 'inocrats were a “party" in fact, having certain well-defined propositions which they wished carried into practice in the administration of government, and acted as a unit for that purpose, Morton was a democrat. Later, when the position of governor was the object of his ambition, his views were ail changed, and he was opposing and denouncing all the propositions he had but recently advocated. No man of abilities to accomplish anything reallv groat could have been so much i.i error and have so soon discovered all of it, with the causes and proper means to eradica e ir, and go before the people to educate them to the suddenly-discovered standard of truth. Then he was before Lhe people with hi.-; famous Richmond speech in opposition to negro suffrage and equality; and, anon, he was in tavor of both. Questions of public policy affecting (lie whole nation, requiring a lifetime of study to fully comprehend, and careful exp riment decade after decade to test on propositions to adopt, change, or modify, he learned in a year, and went before the people to advocate-to-day and to denounce tomorrow, as a self-constituted teacher of the people, asking them to regard him as tit and elevate him to poweras a statesman.
When hi- reached the executive poi sition of governor, he defied eonstitui tion and la w, and, relyingon that, same perception and element by means of which ho had climbed to the gubernatorial seat, he wielded power, conferred and usurped, with the same recklessness his former course had diown, and which was but a repetition of the evidences of his desire to become notorious and powerful in the mistaken notion that it was greatness. From that on until his death his whole course was one continual exhibition of reckless inconsistencies and irreconcilable contradictions, each and ..11 extreme, and accounted for by himself by saying that he was apt to suddenly espouse a cause or assume po itions, and as suddenly change or abandon them when he thought they wsre wrong. In t lat statement he estopped himself and his would-be eulogists to make any just claim to public admiiarion for him. much less to the record and memory of a statesman or public benefactor. Men COMPETENT TO SAFELY LEAD, or to judiciously administer govern" merit, do not act on impulse. They do not suddenly espouse the advocacy of or suddenly change in the posi* tion relating to questions affecting the public. They reflect and carefully fc« 1 their way before they commit themselves and seek to commit others- Once having committed themselves, being done under a firm CGni victiou of right, based on careful reasoning, with the fullest possiblejknowlt'dge of existing facts and philosophical deductions as to possible as well us probable consequedees, they do not change until thorough experience has demonstrated that the position is not tenable and new knowledge and further reasoning make change necessary. Men who mistake the demagogue for the statesman, and men who think that to serve the time and have the temporary applause of the unreflecting crowd, is proper administration of government, may admire Morton’s sad Jen espousals and abandonments, and his paradoxes in position and logic, but no other class of persons can do so.
In his position as governor, a man with the elements of greatness rightly directed could and would have done everything possible to reconcile differences and prevent strife; and could have been largely instrumental in ending the war ami bringing about, peace in a short time. Hisevery energy was devoted to the most tyrannical exhibitions of power and rhe utter disr - gard of private rights, constitutional authority, or permission of law. He exhausted every means to fan the flume of discord and foster a spirit of hatred, while he wielded the sword and the purse to make the domination of his own adherents all powerful, and the prolongation of strife the means to greater notoriety and official advancement for himself.
The claim for a high official intrusted with power that while in office “HE NEVER STOLE ANYTHING,” and therefore he should be entitled to great credit, s a claim any man wo’d blush to make. The charge that he did steal, or was subject to strong suspicions of having done so, should , eojidemn him to infamy; yet the claim \is put forward for Morton that “h • was honest in use of the public money.” However that may be, Willard, his predecessor-as governor, had a contingent fund of $5,0(10, mor* or*, less; Morton had one of $155,000, more or less; and if he disposed of it the extraordinary differences will admit of explanation. The difference between converting to one’s own use, or an
unnecessary or injudicious use for the benefit of one’s friends or position, is a distinction without a difference. Morton’s positions on the powers and duties of congress and the vice president in receiving and counting the electoral vote, before and includ ing the seating of Heyes. is so utterly inconsistent that no amount of reasoning cun justify them. That he was not alone is no excuse. They were the positions of partisan and time server, without a shadow of relief. No statesman is ever found in positions so utterly irreconcilable and inexcusable.
The Times hardly doesitself justice when it concedes to him to have been a great party leader, while it confines his leadership to a following of the “bl* ody-shirt.” It wr-a no party. It did not have the merit of the cry of “no popery.” It was not. as respectable as the cry which 'ed to the Lord Gordon riots. Such men as Greeley and Trumbull, who were leaders of a party, refused to recognize him or his leadership. He was a “party leader” in the sense that he could hold men together to vote for the candidates he favored, but there was no “party” opposition in the proper sense of a party, and it was a mere scramble for official position and patronage. For ashort time, under the nomination oi Tilden, there was a party—men acting together as a unit for civil service-reform and freedom from military rule in the south, and for hard money. With that exception there has been
no “party” movement in ihe true sense, on either side, since 1860. The people and the real leaders among all parties have been divided. Morton was a leader in no sense from the position taken by statesmen, and had he been thrust into the position he could not and wo’d not have retained it, for had the popular tide seemed to be running counter to the positions he professed to uphold, and he doubted his ability to guide it, he would have abandoned those positions and taken such as he thought would control and guide that tide aud keep him afloat, upon it without a thought ar a care as to the absurdity or inconsistency his new declarations might present in contrast with those just before held to by him. Poor, ignorant, obscure, and incipable Horsey! When he came back from the Columbus penitentiary, under the order of the supremo court of the United States, declaring his conviction and imprisonment under Morton’s rule and dictation to have been not only without cause, but in
VI LATION OF ALL LAW AND RIGHT, stood beside a mound of earth, grown over with weeds and wild grass, where lav the molding bodies of his wife arid little ones. He was a common man, a mere laborer, as it were, without means. He left them dependent on their own exertions, with broken hearts when Morton laid his hand upon him as “the gr< at war governor,” and closed the prison walls around him in violation of all law and without any just causa. He came back to find thatdesolate mound in the field, holding all he had loved and all he had to live for. As he stood there with his white face—blanched in the shadow of the prison wall—his hopes gone, his manhood dead, his heart withering beneath the crushing weight of sorrow’ and wrong, she words “Oh, God!” broke from him in a tone so full of agony that the very weeds seemed to bend down in pity, and all there was of life went out in utter darkness ami desolation for this one among the thousands of victims who have suffered that Morton might be come notorious. Even at that moment Morton was helping to hold in suffering and want ten millions of people, in direct violation of every principle of legislation and government he had but recently before then to the people, through the press and from the rostrum.
But enough. It is said that our state should be proud of him and his record. lam an old resident, and am proud of my state, but not of him or his record. It will be said we should spare the feelings of his wife and relatives. Should we? DID HE SPARE THE FEELINGS of tne wives and relatives of Milligan, Bowles and Horsey, and thousands of others whose bodies and souls went steadily on in their march down to the home of the dead, sent there i y him as the “war governor?” We respect and esteem his wife and children us their merits deserve; but/ie sought to rule and control the state, and made himself, so far, the property of the people, For that his relatives are not responsible, nor can they claim that we shall not hold him and his works up for consideration and measurement. If those works were fraught with public evil we must bear it. Ourselves then must be first consulted as to what wc will say or do. Fcr the first time almost in the history of journalism The Times has treated the senseless adyge to “speak no evil of the dead,” as it deserves to be treated; snd in calling attention to the true standard by which to judge the dead man, as the news of his death went forth it did the world a service, and in so far aided in counteracting the evils the unwarranted and ill-timed praises bestowed by others will inflict. The great pageant is over. He has lain in state. The thousands have passed by iu processions and cast floral offerings on his coffin and his grave. The bells have changed their noisy peals, the bands have wailed out the funeral dirge, the minister of God(?) selected to preach, “Peace on eaith, good will to men,”
OVER THE COFFINED BODY, has ended his diatribe against the political non-admirers of the late sena tor, aud the journals have had their say. But the weeds and wild grass still grow aud molder by turns over the desolate graves of poor Horsey and his dead family. They went down to the lonely cavity in earth in silence and unsung. Nothing but the rank weeds mark the place. Milligan, his peer in inte.llect, his superior in all that makes a man, sits silent beneath the knowledge that the courts made by such <is Morton denied Jhim justice, though he had been robbed and worse than murdered without right or cause or forms of law, Moldeiing bones all over the state —and all oyer- the land, for that matt r—of maimed and wounded men, and of women and children who died amid want and sorrow while their protectors were marching to unknown graves at Morton’s call, are not tho’t of by his eulogists. They are there all the same, the results of the sectional hatred fostered and taught by him (and others like him north and south), in order that he might have place aud power and be called great. “Nature will have compensation.” Let his friends point out the laws he has devised and caused to be enacted which to-day aid in protecting persons and property, or public or private rights. Untilthen- and they do not exist—his name and the mem >ry of his notoriety will fade day by day, and in the next generation he will be as if he bad never been.
