Levi P. Morton, the republican

was in 1855 a member of the dry
goods firm of Morton & Grinneli.
In that year the firm failed, settling
with its credito s on the basis of
50 cents On the dollar. Mr. Mor
ion went into the Banking business,
aud in 1863 he invited all his old
time creditors to a dinner. ""Each
man found uuder his plate, a cer
tified check for the remainder of
h:s debt, with interest from .the
date of the failure. There was no
legal obligation retting upon Mr.
Morton, but there was a maral one
which he, as an honest and upright
man, did not feel at liberty to
ignore. There have been other
cases of this iort, but they arerare
enough to render Morton's scrupu
lous honesty worthy the commea
dation of his fellow citizens.
