| ber of the VERNUN’S SENATOR. APen Picture of Hon. H. B. Cresap by the St. Lou's Republican's Jefferson Uity Cerres- ponde: t. Judge H. B. Cresap of Vernon, county is one of the new senstors, thouch his age, having been born in Kentucky in 1815, ranks him in years with Senators Haliburton, Morrison and Hutt, all of whom entered the | world about the same time. Judge Cresap has had a varied experience, having been a boatman on the Miss- issippi, a merchant in New Orleans and tor the past ten years an exten- sive tarmer and stock dealer in Mis- souri, his *‘broad acres’’ on the plave where he resides covering 4,000 acres in a body. Coming to Missouri in 1870 he bought the Adams and Don- iphan property, in Vernon county, on which he located, and transform- ed it into a stock tarm. The Sena- tor is of a medium size, rather spare with teatures that denote gooa com- panionship, frank and accessible; thin wiry mustaches, not bleached out by time, and in his movements and bearing has the appearance of being a much younger man than his age would indicate. He is a cousin of Maj. Gen. E. O. C. Ord, the lat- ter having been named after Cres- ap’s father Edward Otho Cresap. The Cresaps in this country are re- lated in various degrees of consan- guinity to the famous Col. Michael Cresap who has been charged in sev- eral million school-boy declamations with the slaughter, in col ! blood and unprovok ed. of all the relations of Logan, the celebrated Mingo chief. The speech of Logan sent to Lord Dunmore has always been admired as a fine morsel of Indian eloquence, but the allegations he made in ref- ference to Col. Cresap have been controverted, and many years after the speech was published by Jeffer- son in his Notes he procured state- ments and affidavits from various sources to vindicate the truth of the assertion. The alleged murders happened in May, 1774; Jefferson’s Notes were written in 1782, and in 1799 Jefferson collated his affidavits, summarizing the results. He ad- mitted that popular account, as stat- ed in the notes of Virginia, were im- perfect and erroneous in details, It was the beliet of the day that Col. Cresap and those under him = mur- dered two Indians above Wheeling. That they murdered a larger num- ber at Grave creek, anong whom were a part of the tamily and rela- tions of Logan, cannot be question- ed, and as little that this led to. the massacre ot the rest of the tamily on Yellow creek. Logan imputed the whole Cresap in his war note and peace speech, the Indians generally smputed it to Cresap, the country with one accord imputed it to him; and whether he was innocent, Jeffer- son adds, let the universa! vePict decla Our Missouri — senator Says personal motive, on the score o£ bearing the same name and a dis- tant relationship, in the vindication of Col.

He will make a_ usetul legislator. The North American Review tor February opens with a symposium in which six prominent theologians, representing as many religious de- nominations, give expression to their views upon the question of the ‘‘Re- vision of Creeds’’. Prof. Alexan- der Winchel!, in an article entitled “Phe Experiment of Universal Suf- frage,’’ institutes a profound inqui- ry into the essential conditions of stable popular government, which he finds to be. substantially, virtue and intelligence ; but these conditions, he maintains, are absolutely unattaina- ble under our existing political sys- tem, where an electorate either igno- .ant or vicious, or both, by the mere force of superior numbers, practical- ly nullifies the suffrages df the het- ter and wiser portion of the people, whose. right to control the govern- ment of the commonwealth is ground- edin the very nature of things. Bishop McQuaid writes of ‘*The Decay of Protestantism”, ard in es- Saying to prove his thesis, makes a very adroit of the use ot the admis- sions of protestant writers. **The Political Situation’”’ is the jeint title ot two articles, the one by Horatio Seymour, the other by Geo. S. Bout- well, who offer their respective views upon the causes ot the recent overthrow of the Republican party. An article by Dr. D. A. Sargent, on ‘Physical Education in Colleges’’ treats a subject of prime importance to the welfare of the youths in high- er edueational institutions. Finally, | there are two articles on **The Stand- ; ard Oil Company’’ Senator Cam- den of West Virgina defending that corporation against its assailants, and John C. Welch setting forth the reasons for condemning it as a dan- gerous monopoly. Published at 30 Lafayette Place N. Y. A Man Who Has Had Mine Wives.
