THE DEATI-BED. EXTRAORDINARY TORTURE AND BUPERNUMAN * FORTITUDE. Specia Dispatch (o The Chteago Tribune, . IxpiaNavoLis, Ind,, Nov. 1.—When the re- porters left Senator Morton's residence at 6 o'clock this morning it waa with tho bellef that he could not possibly last more than three or four hours,—that lie must dle before 10 o'clock. This bis physician, Dr. Thompson, flrmly be- lieved, and so informed the family and all In- inquirers, Tho Senator himsell had given up all hopes of recovery yesterday afternoon, but still his indomitable will and warvelous vitality kept him alive during the nighit when it seemed he must die tfrom exbaustion and sullering. At 6 o'clack the physiclan and family retired for o a short rest, so much needed after a night's weary watching, Ina few minutes the Scaator SEEMED TO NB LIFELRSS, There was noone In the room but a watcher, and a friend who had called to ask concerning hiscondition at the time, and they forced brandy down his throat to revive him. Ithad the de- sired effect, and he was aroused to consclous- ness again, At this time be was catirely with- out pulse, and his extremities cold. During tho night the hiccoughing which had so distressed the Senator left him, and, for a time, he was frec from the racking torture It caused, but o the morning ¢ returned, and was a fea- ture of his vondition until death, At about 9 o'clock the watchers were agaln startled to no- tice that the Benator had apparently died; but sgain atimulaots were uscd, and he revived. He remained so long in a comatose stato that THE REPORT DECAME CURKENT on the atrects, apparently by authority, that dissolution had actually taken place, and the news of his death was telegraphed all over the country by the Associuted Press. In a few min- utes came telegrams from all points (nquiring as to the truth of the report, and flled with cxpressfons of the deopest regret and sor- row, At various pluces lo the State public and Bar meetings were called, and appropriate action taked. No cvent since the death of Lincolu has cast such a gloom over the entire Btate. In the city there was a palnfully-evideut depression, and the bulletin-boards were cagerly scanned for the latest Information from thebedside. THE SCENE IN TUE BICK-KOOM at nobn was deeply affacting. The dying Sena- tor was propped up [n bed fna balf-sitting, half- lying posture, fresh plilowsaud wraps belngsup- plied every few minutes. Mra. Morton eat at his right, with ber husband’s hand In hers, . As she pressed its cold surface sho knew that death, too, was clasplug the fingers, All pulsation had ccased, and it was only the enormous vitality ot the patlent’s system that kepy alive the dying spark of life.. Tho heart beat feebly, and kept up the circulation in the upper portion of the body. It lacked the forco necessary to propel the blood current to the extremities, and TUE DAMP OF DEATIL was then upon at least half of his body. This the wifo realized as she sat with her bead bowed upon the counterpune, listening to the heavy and quick respiration of the oue who was dear- cst to her on carth. 1lis breathing was not stertorous, save whon the phlegm accumulated nd it was ouly durlug his mo- jousness that he was troubled In Walter aud Oliver, the Senatur's two thls way, sons, who are here, oceuplod scata beside their mother, and were uncousclous of thelr sur- roundiugs, remaining sileut and wrapped fn grict, TOE SOLEMN 6CENE was not disturbed by s loud word, and the grief-stricken wifo and children were left to tho Loly thouguts of the hour, It would be sacri- lego to futerrupt them, and this sentiment governed the actious of the sad-cved little kuot of mourners gathered sbout the vther side of the sick-bed and around tho room. The talk was carried on in the language of the eycs, and, save for au occasional whispered dircction to the nurscs or a soft-breutbed fnquiry of the pbysictans, the silence was unbroken. Mrs. Ritchen, Mrs. Anna Baggs, Miss Laura Ream, and Mrs, Gertruds Fletcher were tho ladics preecut, besides Mrs, Morton and the nurscs. BEVELAL MNINISTERS were grouped about the bedside, amonz them the Rev. J. H. Bayless, the Rev. Dr. Heary iay. the Rev. T. A. Lyuch, the Rev. W. A. Bartlett, and the venerable Prof. Hoshour. Prof. Hosh- our was Mrs, Morton's uld pastor in days long goue by, and the Senator's preceptor. When becntered the room Mri. Morton, as though recogniziug & familiar presence, looked up. The old fricod advanced, and the clasp of bands that followed oxpressed more than s withic the power of Javguage to portray. They remained fo this sttitude for somo time, and, as the Pro- fessor retired to another part of the room, MOT 4 DEY XYE COULD BX SERY, and only at occasional sob broke the stilluess. Nouo who were prescut can ever forges the seene, or the flood of recollections it aroused in everv soul. Dr. Kitchen, who attended the dying man, sald that Benator Morton was suffering Intense paln, and that, though the effects might in n degree be neutralized by the chloroforn, It was piain that he endured dread- ful aguny, Death heralded its slow approach upon the seat of vitality by fnflictiug untold torture. The agony expericnced was the actual disintegration of the atoms that help to make up snfmal life—a dissolu- tion of ' particdes which §s but a certaln precuratr of decomposition and death, a separation of the soul from the hody, Strong coustitutions carry with themn the puwer to en- dure pain that BEEMS GREATRR TIAX MORTALS CAN REAN, and it frequently occurs thal they are called upon to endure to the uttermost limit, The Benator's case Is just such an one. The lines of his face were drawn and pinched. He suffered In silence, and retained enough consclousness Lo iudicate Lis wishies, The situation remained un- changed auring the afternoun, save that the Beuatur grew visibly weaker, and his suflerings more intense. Chloroforin wus sdmintstered freely, - hot without producing unconaciousncss, sud only partially removing the pain, 8hortly after 4 o'clock It becatne apparent thut the supreme hour had arrived. The Benator was 5o feeblc that he was unable to remaln In the half-sitting posture be bad retained in the past two or three days, and gradually sank to the bed, aud, WIEN IIE DIED, he was lying prone ou his back. There were Rathered about him his wife and two sons, Col. Holloway and wife and sop, Mes, Gill, Mrs. Heott, and Gov, Burbank. Thero ‘were slso present the purses and the - Kev. Dr. Day. At about 445 the Scnator was in great pain in the chest snd stowacly, and was sinkine rapldly, He sald, as hie moved bis right hand over his stomach and chest: “Iam dying." His sister-in law, Mra, Holloway (Mrs. Morton's sister), was fanning bim ot the time, and . sald audibly: * Oliver, yo'tre not afrald to diel”” He replied by a shake of Lis head from side to side of his pillow, meaning: “x0, 1 AM NoT." 8oon after, lis son Walter, who was standing hy his bedside witn his brolber Oliver and Mrs. Morton, clasped his hand and sald: *¢ Father, father, do you know usi" He roused, made an cffort to speak, aud nodded that he knew them, recelving their kisses with evident satisfaction. Otber nembers of the family were in like man- ner recoguized, At this time he began to fall more rapldly. He was still moving bis right hand over his stomach and chest, and ocension- ally changing the position of his head. Dr. ‘Thompsou beat over L, and in a kindly tone sald: * Be calm, Governor, be calim,” adding, ns e Iaoned his face, “*Gov. Morton is not afraid to die"” ‘The Governor clasped the Doctor's laud aud sald: ‘I AM DYING} T AM WORN OUT." These were hls last words, uttered a littlo after 6 o'clock. He coased to move, bis breath gradually shortened, and at twenty-eight min. utes alter 5 o'clock p. m., Nov. 1, 1877, without agroan or o struggle, Benator Morton peace- fully died. ‘The only indleation of death was o alight dropping of the under jaw, and Dr. Thowpson was compelled to make an examiua- tion of several minutes to determiue the fact that the great statesmun no longer existed. In the house werea number of friends, and the news of the Senator’s deccase, was kuown in all quarters of the city within a very few minutes. DEAD, To the Western Assoclated Press. INDIANAPoLIS, Tud., Nov. 1.~Bcnator Morton, died at 5:28 p. m. The frequent bulleting of to-day render It unnccessary to recount his suf- ferlogs and the measures employed to alleviate themn.

In conversation this evening the octor ex- pressed himsell very confident that theSenator’s death resulted not from any reflex action of the pariysis of the left arm, but from a paralysis of the ncrvous centre itself, For the past ten days he has reccived an average of eix letters n day suggesting treatment for dyspepsia and indigestion, shuwiue . that a wrong impression obtalned as to the Benator's condition, He was not troubled with dyspepsia or indigestion In any form, escept as it resulted from a partial paralyeis of the pueumongastric nerve,—hence treatment for dyspepsia wonld uot touch the trouble.

IN WASIHINGTON, TIIE SUCCRISION, SoectatDispaten to The Chicaga Tridune, Wasmxorox, D. C.,, Nov. l.—Indiana polf- ticlans are enjoylne themselves over one incl- dent of Gov. Jesse Willlams' visit bere. They say that while East he had an interview with Mr. Tilden at the request of the latter, in which Lie was strongly urged by Titden to sppolnt Mr. Ilendricks to succeed Senator Morton. Mr. Til- den expressed the opinfon that it waa very Im- portant to the interest of the Democratic party to have him there, and that In fact there was a party demand tor t, and lio carnestly Loped it would be donme. Gov. Willisms s reported to have roplied that Mr, Ilendricks had aircady urged upon him the great party necessity of appointiog Voorhees; that In foct it was a matter for which there was A OENERAL DEMAND, and lie for one hoped Gov. Williams would ree- ognize this and send Voorhees to the Senate. ‘I'hie explanation of the desire of these two Jead- era is that Tilden thinks it would bo well to force llendricks fn where hewould bo obliged to shoulder a good deat of the soft-moncy lomd; that Hendricks thinks he would prefer that Voorhees shduld draw the fire of pending ques- tions rather than biimself, In addition to this it Is believed that Tliden sces a clearer track with Hendricks ju the Senste, and that Hen- dricks thinks the way would be smoother for hita If Voorhees shoutd be dragged over a part of it fu advance, MARE OF NESPECT.

Their uame was Throckmorton, and thelr aucestry is traced to ths Earlof Turockmorton fu the relgn of gond Queen Bess. On leaving New Jersey, tho Henator’s father dropped the firat syllable of his name, and over after wroto * Willlam T, Morton,” He was u kind-hearted man, pos- scssed of o good mind aud o sound judgwment, and was much respected by those who kuew him.

His mental manifestations were not equsl to those of his schoolmates, but his steady demeanor and prrsistent application to his studles gave him a resgectable position in his class,!” AT COLLEOE, Quitting this school he entered Mlaml CUnl- versity, at Oxford, O., In Jaouary, 1843, Here he remalned two years, **a diligent, carmest student, modest but not timid, plain but not verdant, and more anxiousto acquireknowledze than to display it."

Heread law with all his might, determined to master what Burke has called *‘one of the first and noblest uf huwan suenves —a seicuce which docs more to quicken and in- vigorate the understanding than all other kinds of learviug put together.” 1f, while at school, be gave uo pecullur promise of his future emi- nenice, he now began to develop with surprising rapllity. e devoled his time to severe lubor, “ Althougli an extensive and desultory resder since, while a law studeut he read slowly and digested thoroughly. With & percestion al- most intultive, he caught the practical polnts of the Jaw, and put themw away in the sturchouses of 8 memory which never let anything go. Thus armed and cquipped, he was admitted to prac- tice in the fall of 1847, *Itwns a proud day,' I have hieard hlm say, *when the Mgu “*Ouiven P, Maont torney and Lnnmeuur ul Law, was awung out to the gaze of the Centerville puablie.
