Senator Bayard has unearthed a new contribution to I he election literature which may play an important part in the settlement of the present conttst. It is a bill which the Senate of the United "States panned toward the close of the •first session of tin- i.vfh Congress, in

March, tSoo, when the long contest which ended in tin-election of jefler»on was agiuting the counts.

Mr, Stewart added that Morton was the only man he had seen who really wanted war. "Morton's for war," he said, "out and out."

•MORTON FOR WAR.

It is diabolical to think of, but I am informed that Morton's intensity of hate for Hendricks, even of seeing him so near the succession as the Vice-Presidency^, is such that he would prefer another period of rebellion and armed suppression. Morton has lived to see his party gone in Indiana—not extinguished, but in a regular and undeviating minority. The Democracy has been re-enforced by a parcel of men like Julian, whom Morton's despotism drove from the Republican party. A Democrat is already the Senator's colleague bis own term expires two years from March 4th. He beholds the experiment ot reconstruction a temporary failure, lie had expected on the domination of the South by the negroes, and by their support, to carry the Republican Conventions and be elected President. With the failure ot that dusky constituency

has'made so many blunders in business legislation and as"a law-giver that he has no general Noithcrn popularity. lie has lost Indiana he has lost the South there i« nothing else but to draw the sword again, arouse the war spirit, and conquer a supremacy.

With a soperabundance of the quality called "lorce," Senator Morton possesses one of the most terriblf natures in public lile. He loves power and its abuse. A dark determined, brooding and desperate mind is reflected in his swarthy complexion and introspective eyes. His powerful frame, prematurely wrecked, yet carrying alike the savage will, towers on liis crutch, aud in his very hobble is the tyrant's pace. With entertaining qualities, he docs not love repose nor consent to see events go on, as they develop from dav to day. Morton belongs to the class of'Montrose, Merton,^ Bothwell, and bis fierce ana sinister Scottish prototypes. The Democratic rest and contcnt he has seldom felt long. Grimly pum.ing the Presidency in r86}, 1S6S. 1S7: aud 1876, he has seen defeat attend miscalculation and Hendricks become the younger and more lavorite name of the" 1 loosier Commonwealth. That sorrel-topped Magistrate, of feminine address and a maple sweetness, is more repellant to the War Gove'nor than another Morton would be. llateaud contempt alike he feels for Ilendricks and accuses fhe injustice of the world that such supple and shallow parts shall get past the mighty weight a^d gravity of Oliver Mortou. Tnere is old Mr Tilden sixty-four years ofa^e. A trifling accident, a little too much cold water in his foot-bottle, eliminates Samuel. Then the freckled and sorrel-headed Hendricks receives the appelation of Mr President, and a monument. Thinking over these things, Morton feels the remaining good go out of him. H« is like "Maebeth" on the blasted plain, to whom arise the the three witches of discord. He sees nothing in another war to intimidate his unyielding spirit, aud his doctrine is that the rebels particularly in Indiana, were not more than half iiogged.

wealth, concentrating alt his powers on power, yet he is not above supporting a Constituent's pursuit of

wealth,

justly or

unjustly. His face is a study it contains the weakness and strength, the fire and darkness, the grossness and the^ harmony of an earth nature possessed with pride. Such a face fnight have looked over th* black lining of a storm cloud and gazed with steadfast opposition at the new world shining fbrt^i in the universe. The little shoemaKtfi'yn'6'se, the irradiant eye and complexion, the black shadow of a former brightness! The cinctured crown like a Vorquemada! The inferior development of the forehead, under the helmet of the Roundhead skull! The terror and dtmagoguery of the face—the might, the cunning, the greatness, the rage, the impotent! Looking into it, we silently thank God that there are institutions to curb some men, that the laws exist, and that the last of the barons died long ago.

Morton is the more dangerous in the political belief he holds. He wants to be ter ri ble for the sake of freedom His con science and tortitude are thus fed from his fanaticism. Like all bloody bigots.he thinks he feels God's mercy moving hun. Like Cromwell, who needed no such poet's indorsement, he looks at the south and the rebel over Mil'on's harp:

Avenge, O Lord! thy elaug itered saints, whose bones Lie slaughtered on the Alpine mountains colli."

For such a nature we have only pity. To give up power is otten an exhibition of pain and'fear. particularly in Republican society. Mr. Morton will be ijie master spirit of the senate compromise committee—a word of amusement where he prevails. Morton's compromise is that of the spurious mother before Solomon, who desired her rights through the life ol the child: "Cut the country in half between Hendricks and me." There is nothing to be expected frotn Edmunds, Frelinghuysen and Logan.

ATH ON LOGAN.

John Logan, notwithstanding what General Grant says, is one of the meanest and worst men in public life li'.tle above a bandit in principle, with no propensities higher than hypocrisy, without learning or the fairness to

a

on the State of Illinois, a reflection un American pub'.ic charaetcr. He has always belonged to the venal and mercenary class of public men hanging aronnd to pick up the opjiortunities. In this way he nearly snooded the commission of General George H. Thomas prior to the great victory of Nashville. 'Logan is a dog," Lyman Trumbull used to sav. Yet he i9 a plausible leech, and can play the humble and obsequious so can he storm and threat en. He is a) way* supporied b3'some dirty paper, like the Chicago Journal, or the Chicago Post, or the Interswash, which lives by dividing the salary ot some poor orphan girl. John Logan is both a bully and a slink-away. He «ill swagger and threaten to "lick" somebody, and venture a tussle, brt he is afraid of newspaper criticism and of moral opposition, and will join a Methodist Church when caught at something 0(1" colors. Illinois politic has been a dis

ever since he reached the Senate before that time it was respectable even under Dick Yates, for Dick was no worse than a poor drunkard. He had little idea of jobbing and cringing

General AvcriU told me the other day that he cried out to logan: "Logan! what are you after here? In the wav of rrfaking some thing?"

Logan under the disguise of a Senator said he "wasn't doing that kind of thing. "Well," exclaimed Avcrill, contemptuously, "what in the devil can you be here for, then?"

John A. Logan is one of the evil influences over U. S. Grant. He and the Chicago Ring, producing Babcock, Joyce & Co., are the gypsy influences of the White House. I call npon the joung men and the good men of Illinois to weigh well this Logan's character before they recommit him to the Senate, lie is one of the savages ambushed in our system he is one of the bandits behind the Republic he is a 6oldierof fortune, without* any redeeming wit. generosit) or philosophy. A few such men might assassinate their country. Whoever contributes to re-elect John Logan helps the hard times and puts back confidence. He who assists John Logan to recover a seat in the Senate dooms that Senate to continued low influence. If the State which brought forth Lincoln can- stop content with Logan for its statesman, no wonder the thieves of Chicago conspiie to steal the body of Lincoln from its tomb, and extort pardons and ransom with it. THE REST OF THE SENATE COMPROMIS­

ERS.

Fred Frelinghuysen is one of the coinmitlee of the Senate to save us trouble. He is of an old New Brunswick family, raised around Rutgers Colirge, and just turning his sixtienth year. From a certain feminine weakness he is prone to talk judicially before he acts as a blind partisan. Alter he acts the partisan he weakens again and regrets it. Thus he is one of the respectable personages who never saved a life from the scaffold in time of disorder, nor had any other than passive influence.

When Piesident Johnson was tried under impeachment, the aforesaid

Logan

being one of the imbecile managers, Frelinphuysen talked against cenviction to the last, then he voted guilty. Aflei ward he said, "I suppose he was guilty, technically. But a fine of $10 would have been the "full measure of the offense.'' With 13,000 majority against his ticket in New Jersey, Frelinghuysen still sees the Senate doors ajar and hopes to er.*er in, tor his party lacks but one of a tie. He is merely uscfull as an adjunct to dccorate with the affectation of lairness the prearranged plans of Morton.

George T. Edmunds, one the youngest and best trained lawyers in the Senate, is a'40 on the Committee. He is also a man of narrow views on party questions, and his fairness consists in haggling over small incidents. Like a grizzly bear who pauses in pursuit of a man to examine the pocket-handkerclnet he has dropped. Edmunds makes much of nothing, but does not give up the chase. He simply has no notion of conceding the Prtsidento Mr. Tilden. jf you desire to know the Democratic natnre-of that Compromise Committee, will add that it, also is partisan. We moving on to the day to count the Electora vote without any prospect of an adjustment. We are moving on .ike an icebprg and a ship, toward each other, slowly but massively. The President of the Senate, Ferry, is a little lumberwoods fellow, beholding a great occasion fidelity, and he has already rehearswhat he is willing to do, and that is more than was expected of him.

Ferry is a native ot the heart of the Continent, Mackinaw, where the great

ll s.' 1*11 &t l»

lake* are fastened together. He lives at a lonely place in the lumber woods, called Grand Haven, almost opposite Milwaukee. He has a tan-bark color and great boyish enthusiasm, and no particular rascality, but his time is growing short. He lies consequence and importance. Morton and Chandler and Cameron are the Senate, and Ferry is their workman.

The course of events, unless a miracle happens between, is for I^rry to rule in Hayes, and Grant tosupport him. That is what the Cabinet is prepared to do. Your Democratic frknds may makeup their minds that all the mass meetings they can assemble will not change this purpose. Nor will any violent or per sonal means to change it be efficient every head you cut off in this Senatorial party will grow another. Hayes also is readv to assume the responsibility. There is not a visible "hitch" or knot in the programme. It is barely possible that the Senate may have a debate and the Republican majority be rediced, but with the inflexible Grant at the head and a tolerably passive state of feeling, the drift ot every thing is toword inaugurating Hayes.
