Judge Morris Elected

The election of Hon. Gouverneur Morris of Alonroe, to preside upon the bench of this circuit district ia a gratifying result. The c'ty and county in w,hich he has so long lived attest his popularity by giving him nearly one thousand mitjority, which, of course ensures his election, although this county has probably given Mr.Grosvenora majority of about one hundred. This circuit will, iu all probability elect a Democratie Judge f'or a long time to come. In connection. with the recent Hartford elopement the story of ex-Governor Hubbard's early life is being told. He I was an humble East Hartford farmer's sou, ftud of ten drovo wagon loads of farru produce and even charcoal to the city fpr sale and barter. Wishing an education he worked his vvay into and through Yale College, and then began to study liiw at Hartford. At the age of twenty"four he represented East Hartford in the . legislature and as a rising young lawyer Üe became the aciepted suitor of a weal' tby Hartford dootor's daughter, where, perhaps as the laboring young farmer he woüld net have found favor. Frederick Shepard, the young coachman who ren off with the Governor's daughter, Nellie, is of a respectable American fftroily and his occupation was not one of choice, but of necessity, as he did not wish to be dependant on his parents. )■ The Boston Ilemld's Washington special telegrapbs: "The report of the court of inquiry in the oase of Genera] Porterhas cavsed a great sensation hero. It had been hintod that General Porter would be favorably treated by the court, hut j ■ nriny oiEcers were not prepared for the ' gweeping vindication and poiuted crit' icism of ofh'cers who have been opposed ' to General Porter, which are coutained in the report. The President will have ' no excuse for not approving the report, and both he and the Secretary of War will do so. The report is thought to place General Pope in Rn unpleasant i attitude, and will make both Pope and McDowell more impopular iu the army than ever before." Xo neceBsity was feit in Chicago at the recent municipal election forfour or fire hundred special constables to "preserve the purity of the elections" by working in the interest of one of the '.■ Htical porties. But the Republicans daiaa that it would be necessary in an olection for Represen tatives in Congress, :■ and that it would be revolutionary to . repeal the provisión of law authorizing ttte appointment of a host of deputy ' tóarsbals, all of one politioal persuasión, ..' and selected because of their known capacity as Republican party workers. The claim is absurd.
