Our Boston Letter.
Boston, Nov. 3, 1877.
tho papers, glnd of on excuso to
cieate an excitement, anil partly to re
press what they consider unjust, have
one anil all been going for our city
fathers, and tho poor men must be
haunted by animated dinner bills and
spectre dinners' night and day. Several
aldermen have been frightened Into
moving that no meals be allowed at tho
city's expense, which looks bad, par
ticularly when they nccotnpany the
movement with nil assurance that It Is
not to Inlluenco tho next election.
However, these good llttl hoys were
defeated, and the dining Is to go oiij
even to the wines, cigars, &C, and as a
natural consequence, soda water and
ahem I carriages. To bo sure, they
should not cheat us, but seriously
speaking, the members of our govern
ment certainly work hard for mo city
for no salary, and when ueeessiry, why
shouldn't they dine at the city's ex
pense, and dine well better than they
could alfoid to at home without hav
ing every aiticlo of food welched, and
discussed, and commented upon by
men who in their secret hearts wish
they wero there, ntid could lmve some
too? It is a small business, but since
we are not able to get up a big "King,"
we must nulbblo over a little semi
circle.
The babies of the Babv Show are
having delightful times al Horticultural
Hall, and like tho show business Im
mensely. The great excitement now is
the prizes. They will, of course, bo
kept as long as the crowd continues.
The grand event of the week Is, of
course, tho opera Madame Pappcu-
heim aud Charles ii. Adams. I In; lat
ter has n glorious physique, dark olive
skin, black curly hair, eyes that shoot
lightning when lie becomes excited,
and many n. Boston girl has felt the
shut quick and sharp as she listened in
wrapped attention from tho orchestra.
Dick bhaw, the flenil, also known as
Dr. Landis. rests, nantlng for morn
men to murder nt tho 1 1 tl lu Variety
Theatre.
Gi'orge L. Fox, the actor, died In
Cambridge, last week, of softonliif; of
thn bialn, the dUcaso that lie has been
suffering f ruin for some time, and
brought on by overwork. How little
docs any one out of the profession
realize tho haul, weary work of many
an actor. Fox wns fllty two years old,
and had beun on the stage, with the fx
ivptlon of a short interval, elnco lie was
live, at which ago ho performed n
child's part to well as to be called
Bevetnl times before the curtain.
Tho Harvard beat a set of men from
the McOlll University. Montreal, badly
nt font-hall, but did not distinguish
themselves particularly in the boat-
races of Saturday.
Tim authoress of "Ono Summer"
has given us another book, "Letters
from Abroad." It was kind of her,
but we nre sorry she did It -sorry she
did not wait until her foices had gath
ered themselves together anil bicotuo
equal to her first attempt at book-malting.
Two more weeks will bring us to tllo
end of this dragging campaign, and
then wc shall breatlio easily until De
cember, when we will try our hand at
electing a Mayor, Montjoy.
Our Sew Orleans Letter.
New Orleans, Nov. 2, 1877.
Of courso the general attention of the
country H now directed Congressward,
but to uo people are events now tians
plrlng, and which tiny transpire In
Washington within the next wek or so,
of such sut passing interest as to the
people of Loui-latia. Wo havo long
been without representation In the Sen
ati) -Senator after Senator has been
elected by Legislature after Legislature,
till, what with rival governments nnd
rival patllauients, almost every local
statesman possesses a high standing

Tho latter has not yet quite given up

The present cession is fraught with

By way of diversion I will now re
late the circumstances of some tragedies
which took place in this city within tho
week, one resulting In the death of a
maniac under circumstances not quite
explicable, but extraordinary withal,
Saturday night last flro was discovered
in a one-etory framo house on tho
" Ameiiean" side of the city. An
alarm was turned In ; nnd tho police
and firemen rushed with their usual
Impetuosity tn tho scene. It wns the
bouse of one Louts Jnuster, a German,
known under the expressive title of
" Crazy Joe." Arriving at tho place,
they found Jaasteur standing nt the
front door, armed with n carbine nnd
broad sword. He warned nil off, ex
claimed there was no fire In tho houso,
and threatened to hack and riddle nny
man who might havo the hardldood to
attempt au entrance. An effort was
then mado to capture tho maniac Incen
diary, (ho had set fire to the house him
self,) and in the effort ono policemen
was fatally shot and two others danger
ously cut about the head with the sabre.
A volley of shots was then poured in,
and Crazy Joe, a moment afterwards,
was picked up dead.
On Wednesday night last a colored
man, named Thomas Lockwood, was
shot nnd killed by n man nnd brother
named Bibb. Both had been rivals for
the affections of a colored maiden ct
the copper color stamp, but Lockwood
seemed to havo gained the upper hand,
I say it with regret, that he did not ac
complish his victory by anything like
fair means, but still In a manner char
acteristic of the way by which female
affections are sometimes won. He pre
sented the hilly of his love with n shawl,
which set the Impecunious Bibbhorsdu
combat. Ills triumph led him into the
Indiscretion of noising abroad his gen
erosity to his dulclnea.and it was whilo
In church, on Wednesday night, that
tho defeated but magnanimous Bibb
reproached with his meanness in telling
the story of the shawl. Both then ad
journed Into the street, where the quar
rel waxed warm.nnd finally terminated
In both drawing weapons. Bibb fired
and shot his man thruugh tho heart, and
the police afterwards found the latter
stone dead on his knees, with his right
hand grasping a knife.
- Contraiy to expectation, trade,nt this

OBITUARY.
Oliver P. Morton,
Oliver P. Morton, United States Sena
tor from Indiana, was born In Wayne
county, In that Slate, on tho 4th of
Augut, 1823. He was educated at tho
Miami University, Oxford, Ohio. Up
on graduation lie began the study of
the law, and was admitted to the Indi
ana bar in 1847. Five years later ho
was elected Circuit Judge of the Fifth
Judicial District of Indlana.und in 1830
was nominated by the Republicans for
tho ofllce of Governor of the Stato. He
was defeated, but In 1800 was elected
to tho ofllce of Lieutenant Governor
upon a ticket headed by Henry S. Lane
for Governor. Tills latter gentloman
was Inaugurated in January, 1801, nnd
two days later resigned his offlco to take
the seat of United btates Senator to
which ho had been chosen by the Legis
lature. By this transfer Oliver P. Mor
t.m became Governor of Indlaua and
found himself at the head of that Com
monwealth at a roost critical period of
our history.
Tho events which led to tho late Re
bellion having culminated In the attack
on Fort Sumpter, on the 12th of April,
li: 01, threw the whole country li.to the
confusion of n civil war. Foremost
niiiong the men to come to tho support
of the Government during these trying
times was Oliver P Morton, nnd when
the first call for 75,000 troops to sup
press the Rebellion was made by Presi
dent Lincolu, Indiana was among the
first States to furnish her quota. At
tills time tho finances ot the Stato were
In n deplorable condition, but Govern
or Morton procured the passago by the
Legislature, on April 2!)th, of a law
authorizing an appropriation of $300,
000 for tho purpose of arming and
equipping the military furnished by
the State.
lu the dark days that followed, Gov
ernor Morton win s staunch supporter
of President Lincoln, strengthening his
hands by Urge contributions ot men
aud money, and by his vigoroue coun
sels. He thus won the name as one ot
tho "great war Governors," with Cur
tin, Ynt8, Murton, Andrews and Tod,
whoso united efferts did so much to up
hold the cause ot the Union during the
war. Through Governor Morton's ef
forts IndlatiH did her share In furnish
,lng a portion of the 000,000 men, vol
'uutcers aud conscripts called for by the
President's proclamation of July ist,
.and the Secretarv of War's order of
August 4th, ISO'i.
In the eatly part of September of this
year the Confedrates Invaded Marylaud
and Kentucky, and threatened tbe
Subscribers out of County, $1.20
Northern cities. To meet Hits attack
Governor Motton Issued a proclamation
on Sept. 5th, calling upon the Inhabit
ants of tho counties of Indiana border
ing upon the Ohlorlver.to meet nt their
respective places of holding elections,
and form themselves into companies for
military duty, and report to the conn
uiandera appointed by tho Stato au
thorities. On the 22d of September, nt
ono of tho darkest periods of the war,
President Lincoln Issued his Emancipa
tion proclamation, nnd two days later
a meeting of the Governors ot tho loyal
States was held nt Altoona, In this
Stato, to consider the Sltautlnn. At
tills meeting an address of the Govern
or's to tho President of tho United
Stat03 was adopted, pledging their cor
dial support of tho Government in the
prosecution of the wnr for tho restora
tion of the Union. The members of tho
Convention further reccommeuded that
a reserve army of 1,000,000 men for
ono year's service should ho called
forth, nnd also endorsed tho Emancipa
tion proclamation.
In the early part of the followlnu
year, tho organization known as "Tho
Knights ot the Golden Circle," hecanio
troublesome In certain portions of Indl
ana lying nlong tho Southern border
and for a tlmo threatened tho peace ot
tho Stato. To put an end to tlieif
machinations, Governor Morton on
June 12th, 1803, issued a proclamation
to tho people of Indiana, warning all
persons against reslstanco to the Gov
ernment in any fntm or hindering tha
Federal officers In tho enforcements o(
tho enrollment laws of the United
States.
Up to tho beginning of lids year In
dlana through the efforts of her "war
Governor," had furnished and equipped
104,310 soldiers out of a total of 1,270,.
240, furnished by all the loyal States.
In June of the same year sue lurnisnca
her share ot another 100.000 men to re-
pel invasion nnd in October furnished
her quota of another call for juu.uuu.
During this period of tlmo tbe opposi-.
tlon to the draft, nnd the heavy tnxa
tlgn necessitated by GovernorMoftou's
financial policy, Increasea ino party in
In tho Stato opposed to his re eleotlou.
A bitter contest wasmado against hint
but he was re-elected in tho fall of 1S04.
During the succeeding years of the
war, Governor Morton was untiring In.
his etforts to aid thelnatltmal cauee,lld
at the clo80 of the contest bad tho satis
faction of having brought tho Stato ot
Indiana through tho great struggle, with
credit to herself and with her finances
in good condition. When tho great
strain was over, his physical powers
gave way and ho was stricken wltli
paialysis. To restore his shattered
health ho visited Italy, whero ho re
mained a year and a half, returning In
1800, In spite of physical Illness, to his
executive dutlo. In Juno of that year
he delivered n political speech which
created much enthusiasm In Indiana,
and of which more than a million copies
were published in pamphlot form. At
the subsequent meeting of Leglslaturo
in January, 1807, he was elected a Sen
ator in Congress for the term endins
In 1873. a
Upon taking his seat, ho was ap

tees on Foreign Relations, Agricul
ture, Military Affairs and Prlvato
Land Claims, nis ability and energy
soon gave him a prominent position in
the Senate, where be distinguished him
self as an able parliamentarian, ready
debater nnd keen party leader. Htr
was the lutroducer and advocate of a
number of bills for tho betterment of
the condition of tho colored race and
for the strict enforcement of the recon
structlon legislation In tho South. On
the 8th of December 1870, the Third
Session of the Forty-first Congress, Mr.
Morton Introduced n bill for a change
In tho manner of elections for President
and Vice President, a subject to which
in late years he had devoted much or
Ids attention. At the expiration of his
first term he was re-elected in 1873 for
a term ending In 1870. He was inado
Chairman ot the Committeo on Privi
leges aud Elections, the leading Com.
mittce of the Senate.
For several years past he had devoted
close study to tho subject of Presiden
tial elections, and, seeing the defects of
oxlstlng laws, had prepared bills as
early ns 1873 for tho better rcgulatlou
of tho counting ot tho Electoral vote,
for a tribunal to try cuutested elections
to the Presidency, nuJ the draft of an
amendment to tho Constitution to en
able the people to vote directly for
