T1.3 na-;r't!e newspaper concern of r"lattoinut:i h.n 1 ecn harping, for -tiHiiuhft. noon Mr. Morton's cluiuj to the -Haitnc land-! near Lincoln. It lias often ciiarp d all the crimes in the category of "rascality " upsv.i Mr. Morton, and quite zs i'nquer.t'y that the editor of thi.- pa per was interested in what it Ins grown l.oare in calling "a steal." To these -l"i?ion of p.Tst nal ina ijnity towards .Ir. Morten we iiave given ua attentso:i, aud do not now ftoop to his defence, but we notioa the Ibllowin in ordrr to say a word : ''Milbr knows of thi rasia'itf, and t!oj3 not d.ira to endorse it." '?Ir.

There is one very noticeable i feature in the above, to-wit : th.at the Dr. "doas not dara to endorse" the r.ttal, yet attempts, by verbiage, to ,o:i. Tey the ilea that it was a'l a fair trans ition. While it may be a "purely le gui (jue.'tlon," and one which will be "Cnally determined by the courts," yet it is a 'juof tion in the solution of which ercry t-itizen cf Nebraska is financially interested. When Dr. Miilor says he "jeithor knows or believe." in any ras cality connected with it," we are at a loss to know what would be required to constitate rascality in his judgmrnt. We certainly think Mr. Morton's own test i mony, especially when taken with that of Mr. I 'ray, stamps the transaction as one of the most villainous ever perpe- trated in the SMte, and nothing but the rupture existed. The war for the sup magnitude of the steal, and the fact predion of the Cuban rebellion was cx . . c .u ir ceedineiv popular with the p-mish peo- that it w.-.s from th"5 public, gives it any i , . r' ; . , , r i ' a ' I lio minister sf:if.-il tli:if. fli ro- kind of respffctabiiity.

Dlack could be hour I from its "narrow house," he could tell yoa something of the Ras cality" connected with this matter. There is a statement in the above item which we desir to corrpct. The Herald Fpeaks cf our "personal malignity to wards Mr. Morton" as being the cause i f o.:r exposure of this matter. "We desire to say that we have known Mr. Morton for many years, and neither har bor nor have cause to harbor a single ill feeling toward him. In fact, so fir as we know, our personal telationi with Mr. Morton are nnd always have been of the mo.t flimsy character. Nei ther do we believe that in his private af fairs he is at i! "rascally" cr untrust woithv : on the contrary, we believe his r ,w..-.r. 1 charactor, and that he would despise to wrong his neighbor out of a dollar. The gront difficulty with Morton (and perhaps IV. Miller is not entirely free from the same fault). i3 that the political school in which he received his training taught that it was no harm to rob the public, provided you could do it without a?tua?!y takipg the coin from the aults.

It were a great thing for a man that his wife ant children could truly say of hiui, "lie never brought a frown or uuhappincsj across his thresh old." A doctor lately informed his friends, in a laree company, that he had been eight days in the country. "Yes," s;tj 1 one of the pnrty, "it hrs been an nounced in the papers." "Ah," said the doctor, stretching bis no -k importantly, "p.ay, in what t-r;:i?'' -Well, as well a I can remember, in the following: ' There were last week seventy-five deaths less than the week before !"

At the appointed time the house was called to order by Joseph Gdmoie, E q., followed by some very good vocal music; after which the Rev. Wui. E.

After the en thusiasm had subsided the committee proceeded to distribute the presents. During tile distribution ol the prizes his majesty's apparel took fire, which gave to the scene an electrical appear ance. The flames were, however, soon extinguished, and the distribution went on, and at its close, some heartfelt relig ious remarks were made by Rev. Mr. Gage.

A Wisconsin wife, the mother of twenty-two children, informe-J her pas tor the other day lh.it she had read much about people Icing rendered pcrfe. t through suffering. If suffer ing." she a i led., "can make a woman perfect, I am tht most perfect person on God's footstool." There is a female society in Stockton. California, known as the -"Old Hens." It was f riin d in opposition to a society made up of aneient male Stockfonian. rejoicing iu the tirni-name and style of the 'Old Roosters," which his been in exi-tt nee there for some years. The s'ory i told of a good deacon who t' o is-ditil tended to increase1 a nrn'sfer's faith and to iu.-ke him more spiritual to keep bim on a sina'l ala y. We have known otli'-r pi'oii'c who m-iin'ahi"d the sum; opinion But we never found any body wli . thought it equally good for himself. It is because th brethren have so much ninr.' grain! than ministers that, it is so much safer for th"m to give themselves to money making? "May it please your honor," exclaim ed a juryman, "I am deaf in one ear." "Then you m iv be excused, as. it is nee -sary t" r a juror to fu:ar Loth sides," said the jud;e. A clerjynian named Fiddle refused to accept th" title of D. D., because, a be saiil, he "di n't want to be called the Rev. Ichabod Fiddle, D- D." A negro member of the Texas Legis lature was met upon the street with a largo roil of greenbacks in his hand, looking at his pil--, and chuckling so loud that be. attractod the attention of a by stander, who said to him, "What arc von laughing at, Jim?" Jim replied: "You see that money?' "Yes." "Weil, bos, I ju-t got that for my vote. I'se been bought four cr five tinios in my life, but di is de lust time I eber got de cash myst If." Mnk Twain recently said a good thing about the Pilgrim Fathers. "The n- er -nd old chaps." he said, "left their eou.niy and home for the sake of having freedom on a foreign shore, to enjoy their own religion, and at ihe - a ne time prevent other folks from enjoying their." Al i' a-na fell a tale of horror. Three disunited men robbed the wife of a tax collector of the pub ic fund, and then ordered her to serve supper. She did so, and put arenicin the tea. On strip pine the dead bodies of their disguise, one proved to be her husband, who had taken thi means of stealing the peo ple's money. A pious Louisville Editor trusts that, when II G in a recent agricultural ad dres alluded to the Almighty as the "author of all things," be did not moan to "involve his maker in any responsi bility for that book about farming." Gail Hamilton does not like Victoria Woodhull. She savs: "When Greelc j meets Greek. I prefer Ulysse the Silent, fighting it out on his own line, to Te mo.sth. nes the Klcquent, hiding under a woman s gown Ail the money Alexander Dumas lid with him when ttc died wis a sincle g'ld pie.ee. Ilis son is a millionaire, an"! his daughter is married lo one the wealthiest landed proprietors in France. The frrt ct f Divine pistice in the infant ehurcli at Jerusalem was to ruinish coVctou-ics. And yet the chnrch has iieviT d'-alt with th s sin a- it should, " Who ever h- ard of a ma bt'inr disci plintd for eoveton-ness?" asks Dr John Hall. " For o'her sinj," h says, ' tnen are cast out i'f the. church ; hut in lhi sin, wh:ch the Bible c dis idolatry , they Jive and di without one honest rebuke. Ell 23 4STI. tiartroai Siirc Sable.
