The Governors of States have been
in the habit of appointing for State

practice. It's a humbug and virtual

Thanksgiving custom at all, and it is
proper, and bneflclal to humanity, let
it be done right. If tnere are to be a
National Thanksgiving day and a
State Thankpglving day they Bhould
be on different days; otherwise the
less is swallowed up by the greater,
and the Governor's proclamation is
meaningless. Let thanks be given as
a great nation, unmixed, and a na
tional holiday enjoyed let it be pure
ly and solely a national matter ap
pointed by the Executive of the na
tion, whose call is sufficient without
the proclamations of Governors. And
then, either before or after the nation
al rejoicing, let the Governor of each
State, who h&B faith in this business,
nppolnt a day for his people to praise
and give thanks for the blessings en
joyed as a State. These are some of
our ideas about Thanksgiving times.
There Is a fear resting in the mind
of the Northern people in regard to

these amendments, I believe this

would have been "peace and quiet"

those enactments had been obeyed.
So does Mr. Sherman believe It.
But suppose they don't obey them,
what then? Mr. Sherman answers,
"So help him God, and with the ap
proval of the Southern people, the
President will carry out the policy to

not be depended on. but there can be
no question about the "approval" of

DEATH OF OLIVER P. MORTON
Senator Oliver P. Morton died in
Indianapolis at half past five o'olock
on Thursday evening, Nov. 1st, after
a lingering illness of some months.
He was born in Wayne-county Indi
ana, August 4th, 1823; graduated at
the Miami university; studied and
practiced law : was elected cirouit
Judge of the fifth judicial circuit of
Indiana in 1852; was elected lieutenant-governor
of Indiana In 1SG0, and
became governor in 1861, when Gov
ernor Lane was elected to the senate
of the United States; was elected gov
ernor in 1864 ; was elected to the TJni
States senate as a republican, to suc
ceed Henr' S Lane, republican, and
took his seat March 4, 1867; was re
elected in 1872. His term of office
would have expired March 4th, 1879.
"I AM WaEJT. OUT."
From the Iuter Ocean.
Senator Morton, at the close of a
career remarkable for its Intense ac
tivity and ponderous with the weight
of results accomplished, laid down
his life with the words "I am worn
out."
Standing around his open grave to
day, the people of this country, real
izing how much has been crowded In
to the years of his life ; how much his
incessant labors have accomplished,
must feel, as they never felt before,
that he was worn out in the service of
his oountry. One greatspeech or one
great action has made many a man
famous. Superior courage and bold
ness in times of danger; fertility of
resource In great crimes; readiness to
assume responsibility when public
opinion is running wild, and the fu
ture seemed dark, has given many
men exalted reputations. Unselfish
devotion to country; uufaitering
courage in forwarding the cause of
the downtrodden ; unflinching per
sistence in the performance of duty
in the face of opposition, under the
pressure of misrepresentation and cal
umny, and while harrassed by able
and unscrupulous enemies, have
made many men heroes.
Remembering all this, the people
who would stand In proper spirit by
the grave of Senator Morton to-day
should go back over the years of his
public life, and view each ueparate act
and deed that have made up bis mem
orable career. It was a great thing to
give tone to publio opinion when the
government was threatened with des
truction. More than any other man
Mr. Morton did this. It was a worthy
act to put a great State on a war foot
ing, and hold it in the front liue of
national defense. Mr. Morton- did
this with pre-eminent success. It
was a test of practical statesmanship
to meet the emergpney in Indiana in
1862, when the Democratic Legisla
ture left the Governor powerless, and
the people seemed drifting into the
arms of the country's enemies. The
hour for action would have passed
while statesmen of the philosophic
school were engaged in citing consti
tutional precedents, or in euuuciating
principles of action. Governor Mor
ton met the crisis with the sweeping
energyof a Cromwell, and, acting on
the instant and without hesitation,
swept all the difficulties out of hiB
path, and did ail this with such cir
cumspection that his every act stood
the test of criticism in the oooler
hours of a faultfinding era.
In the midBt of the most'exacting
duties, and under the weight of unu
sual cares, it was the act of a great
hearted man to never forget the trials
and sufferings of the soldiers in the
field, and the sorrow aird trouble and
misery of widows and orphans at
home. In such great heartedness,
Governor Morton had scarcely a peer.
Ata time when all the enemies of
the Union were marshaled against the
administration that had conducted
the war, it was a great thing- to suc
cessfully defend the government poli
cy. No man did this more ably than
did Senator Morton.
When the war threatened he was
among the first to realize the danger,
and the necessity for preparation to
meet it. When the war came he was
"the right arm of the government;"
when the warended he was foremost
in the struggle to seoure the results
fought for. As Oliver Cromwell was
the "most English of Englishmen,"
Oliver P. Morton was in all the phas
es of the great conflict the moBt
American of Americans ; and in all
the struggles of bis party the most
Republican of Republicans.
Paralysis has sent many of the
world's bravest and ablest men into
quick retirement. Mr. Morton, wak
ing to the realization that bis lower
limbs were dead and useless, rejoioed
that his mind was clearer than it had
been for months, and bravely should
ered a heavier load of responsibility
than ever before. Tied to his chair
and crippled by sicknesB, be became
more terrible to his country's enemies
and more efficient in his country's
service than when in full health and
strength. The sickness that would
have caused a less resolute man to be
remembered as a martyr made Sena
tor Morton a wonder in activity and a
genius in resources.
Many public men have been fright
ened away from paths of usefulness
by slander and calumny. Struck at
cruelly and relentlessly, wounded, it
may be, to the heart, Senator Morton
faced his slanderers, and, heeding not
their poisonous shafts, did his full du
ty as a publio man. Made an invalid
by the mental- strain and activity in
cident to his work as Governor dur
ing the- war, his invalidism, that
should have been looked upon as are
a soldier's honorable wounds, was in
stead made the subject of cruel jest
and calumny. It was something to
bear such misrepresentation and slan
der, and not cry out at the injustice or
flinch at the wounds.
There need be no idealizing, no ex
travagant eulogy, at the grave of such
a man. The simplest record of what
ho bas done will be the best evidence
of his greatness; and, as the people
pile fact on fact great words, great
results they build a j
deeds, great
monument to his memory, and, look
ing upon it as the record of his labors,
trials, and troubles they will wonder
not that he was worn out. If the
people can successfully sum up there
suits of his having lived, the sum to
tal will call out more gratitude, will
inspire more enthusiasm, and will
give him more lasting fame than the
record formulated in the warmest eu
logy. And as he carried bis load of
work, of responsibility, and of care,
not for himself alone, but for the na
tion, and carried all to his sick-room
and to the end of his life, his dying
words, "lam worn out," should pos
seBs for the public a rare significance.
H&YES AND MORTON.
Washington, Nov. 2.
The following was issued at a late
hour this evening:
I lament the sad occasion which
makes it my duty to testify public re
spect for an eminent citizen and
statesman whose death yesterday at
his home in Indianapolis has been
made known to the people by tele
graphic announcement. The services
of Oliver P. Morton to the nation in
a difficult and responsible adminis
tration of the affairs of the State of
Indiana as its Governor at the initial
juncture of the civil war, can never be
overvalued bj' his countrymen. In
all things, and at all times he has
been able, strenuous and faithful in
the publio service, and his fame with
his countrymen rests upon a seoure
foundation. The several executive
departments will ce closed on the day
of his funeral, and appropriate hon
ors should be paid to the memory of
the deceased statesman by the whole
nation.

Mr. Morton had all the qualities of

Oliver P. Morton was a leader be

TIIE SALT BASIN LITIGATION.
Demurrer of the State to the Petition
of Messrs Bradford, of Washington,
D.C., Sustained.
StateJoiirnnl.
Yesterday at the sitting of the Dis
trict Court for Lancaster county. His
Honor, S. B. Pound, rendered his de
cision In the matter of the demurrer of
the State to the petition of Robert H.
and James S. Bradford vs. the State
of Nebraska.
In this case Messrs. Lamb, Billings
ley & Lambertson appeared for the
plaintiffs, who are attorneys and so
licitors resident at Washington, D. C,
and the Attorney General (Hon. Geo.
H. Roberts), and the Hon.T.M. Mar
quett were attorneys of record for the
State.
The petition set forth that J. Ster
ling Morton, Charle9 Manners and
Andrew Hopkins had brought an ac
tion in theLancaster County District
Court against Jesso T. Green and
Horace Smith, lessees of the State of
Nebraska, to recover valuable salines
and saline lauds. The suit involved
the title of the State to these lands,
under theactof Congress ; and on the
motion and affidavit of the Hon. Geo.
H. Roberts, then Attorney General,
theState was admitted as a defendant,
in order to protect its rights. The At
torney General thereupon employed
the plaintiffs, with the advice and con
sentof the Governor, the Hon. W. H.
James, (the legislature not being in
session) as associate couusel for the
State, as such assistance was necessa
ry because of the large and valuable
interests, and the intrioate questions
involved. The plaintiff agreed with
the attorney general, who wa3 acting
on behalf of the state, that they would
assist him in the defense through all
the courts until the suit should be fin
ally terminated, on a contingent fee
of $10,000 and necessary expenses in
the event of a successful issue, or no
compensation in the event of an ad
verse issue. The terms and agroemeut
were just, fair reasonable and necessa
ry. Under the agreement, at the Oo
tober, 1871, term of the district court
of Lanoaster county, the plaintiffs as-
uisted'the attorney general on" rehaif
of the said defendant In the trial of
the cause. . The matter was taken to
the supreme court of the state; and at
the July. 1872. term of that court the
plaintiffs similarly assisted ; and af
terwards they also appeared at the
October, 1874. term of court of the
United States, where the cause had
been taken by proceedings In error.
In all the oourts the discussions were
in favor of the state; and during the
whole time the plaintiffs gave great
care, diligence, skill and attention to
the state's business, with the full
knowledge, direction and assent of
the governors and attorney generals
of the state at said Beveral times and
with the full and actual knowledge
and assent of tho legislature of the
state. The plaintiffs expressly alleg
ed that "the said defendant, tbastate,
by its legislature and otherwise,' ex
pressly approved and satisfied the ac
tion of the said Attorney General in
appearing and defending the said suit
in the name of the State as party de
fendant, -and had and received, and
still doth retain all the benefits and
advantages of the said litigation."
During the progress of the litigation
the plaintlft-j paid out over $300 for
the usoand benefit of the State. From
time to time the Attorney General re
ported it to the legislature, which took
no definiate astion in tiie premises
with regard thereto, for the reason, as
the plaintiffs are advised, that the
plaintiffs had tbeir action for the re
covery of compensation for said ser
vice. The suit regarding the saline
lands finally terminated in favor of
the State on the 29th of March, 1875.
The plaintiffs had not been paid any
partof tho compensation agreed upon ;
and therefore, plaintiffs asked for judg
ment for $10,000, with ten percent, in
terest from March 29, 1875.
To the petition of plaintiffs T. M.
Marquett, for the State, demurred that
it did not state facts sufficient to con
stitute a cause of action against the
defendant, and in favor of the plain
tiffs. The demurrer came on for argument
at an early day of this term of court
(the argument being reported at the
time in the Journal) by Mr. Marquett
for the State, and Messrs. Lamb and
Lambertson, of Lincoln, and Co veil,
of Nebraska City, for the plaintiffs.
Yesterday his Honor delivered his
opinion, as follows: If the action can
be maintained at all, it can be main
tained under section six, of "An act
to provide in what oourts the State
may sue and be sued," on page 19, of
the laws of 1877; and in order to
maintain an action under that section
the plaintiff musthaveacontracteith-
er expressed or implied with the
State, because his claim never wa9
presented to the Auditor, and never
by him allowed or rejected, and is not
a claim whichjl would suppose ought
to be presented to him, it really being
outside of any claims that should be
brought before him in tho first in
stanoe. These parties were employed
by the Attorney General to assist in
defending an important suit against
the State ; and it seems to be conced
ed that the Attorney General bad no
authority to employ them. He ap
pears to have entered into a contract
with them, but he had no authority,
and therefore there is no contract in
law, expresB or Implied. It was be
yond bis authority, and ho could not
make a contract binding on the State.
This seems to be conceded in argu
ment; and, therefore, the outy ground
upon which to found an argument
would be that the contract had been
ratified by the legislature. Now, the
question is whether they show that
whether it bad been ratified by the
legislature ; and in one place they al
lege that it was ratified, and immedi
ately after they say that it was not.
Like-the Moor of Venice, who thought
bis wife honest, and then thought she
was not, they allege that the legisla
ture ratified the oontraot; and allege
that the legislature did not. The pe
tition sets forth that "these plaintiffs
gave great care, diligence, skill and
attention to the defendants business,
in and about tho said matter with the
full knowledge, direction and assent
of the Governor and Attorney Gener
als of the State with
the full and actual knowledge and as
sent of the Legislature of the State"
and the legislature expressly
approved and ratified the acts of the
Attorney General. This is where the
petition alleges the legislature did rat
ify tiio contract, and now let us see
where it says they did not: "The
plaintiff further show that from time
to time the Attorney General of the
State reported his action and the ac
tion of the plaintiffs in the said mat
ter to the Governor of the State, who
from time to time reported the same
to the legislatures, whioh took no def
inite action in the premises with re
gard thereto, for the reason as the
plaintiffs are advised, that the plain
tiffs had their action for the recovery
of compensation for said service."
Now I don't know how that is to be
regarded ; butin onepiaoe they allege
that the legislature took no definite
action upon the matter at all, and
gives thereason because they had oth
er cause of action, lam inclined to
think that the plaintiffs have not stat
ed a cause of aotion in the petition.
These are important matters; and I
don't think that the statute contem
plates that all sorts and kinds of claims
shall be litigated, and that tho State
shall be sued for them. There is a
certain class of olaims 4t is intended
the State shall besued upon ; and the
question is whether this is one. I
think, howeverf it is a proper matter
to be reported to the legislature, and
if the legislature is not satisfied to do
anything, let it provide as it has
done by the second subdivision of tho
act for reference to the courts. It is
a proper case for the legislature to re
fer to the court if it deems it of suffi
cient importance, and they have suf
ficient matter entitling them to be
heard; but without such action I
hardly think the courts have author
ity. The demurrer of the State was.there
fore, sustained, to which decision of
the court Mr. Lamb, for the plaintiffs,
excep.ted.
