THE NEW AND RE-ELECTED SENATORS.

ALEXANDER RAMSAY was re-elected by the
Minnesota Legislature, his majority being 39. He
was born in Dauphin County, near Harrisburg,
Pennsylvania, Bth Sept., 1815. In 1841 he was
chosen secretary of the Pennsylvanian Electoral
College, and in next year clerk of the State House
of Representatives, but he was sent to Congress in
1843, where he remained until 1847, when Presi-
dent Taylor appointed him Governor of the new
Territory of Minnesota, holding the office till 1853.
He removed the Sioux half breeds from Lake Pepin,
and negotiated treaties with the Sioux and the
Chippewa Indians. In 1855 he was chosen Mayer
of St. Paul, and Governor of the State of Minne-
sota in 1858, from which high office he only retred
to take a seat in the Senate, and on the expiry of hi 3
ter in he is nuw re-elected, being chosen on the first
ballot.

ZACH.A.RIATI CHANDLER was re-elected for Michi-
gan for the third time by the Legislature t f that
State. lie was born in Bedfcr,l, New Hampshire,
in 1813. He was slecessful as a Detroit merchant,
which city made him mayor in 1851. In 1852 he
eon n. s'_ed the Governorship with Robcrtll.wia‘Cs leolhloasnecnl,
but was defeated, though. in 1857 he
United States Senator in succession to General
Lewis Cass, and was re-elected in 1863. He is
chairman of the Committee on Commerce, and is
more noted for his attentive and careful work than
for any brilliancy. He is a great hater of England,
which he tc,ok occasion to denounce in his speech
thanking the caucus. i.As our readers may recollect
objection has been made to him for alleged in-
temperance. He is a strong Protectionist.
MATTHEW H. CARPENTER, a Radical Republican,
was nominated by the caucus of the Republicans
of the Wisconsin Legislature on the 19th January
on the sixth ballot. He was born in Massachusetts,
and graduated in the Howard law school 25 years
ago. He was comparatively unknown beyond
Wisconsin till a short time ago, when the Hon.
Edwin M. Stanton recommended him to be retained
by Government in an important suit before the
Supreme Court of the United States. The admir-
able way in which he argued the case took the
able constitutional lawyers opposed to him by stir-
prise, and much is expected from him in the theatre
in which he has.now been placed. He was a cadet
for two yearn at West Point, and then a student in
the office of Rufus Choate. It is 20 years since he
removed to Wisconsin and commenced his practice
there, where his success compelled him to reside in
Milwaukee. He married the daughter of Governor
Dillingham of Vermont. It was not till the war
that he became a Republican, and before that time
he was a strong Democrat.
General CARL SCHURZ received the entire Radical
vote of both Houses of the Missouri Legislature,
defeating John S. Phelps, the Democratic candi-
date. He is the first German United States Sena-
tor, but by common consent he is the first German
statesman and orator in America. He was born
at Liblar, near Cologne, March 2, 1819, and was a
Bonn student during the revolution, of 1848. Into
this he threw himself as an ardent Republican,
first in the capacity of newspaper editor, and then in
arms, having helped to defend the fortress of Rastadt
against the army of the North German Confedera-
tion. Ile escaped to Switzerland on its surrender, but
returned in disguise to liberate Godfrey Kinkel,
confined in Spandau under a 20 years' sentence.
For three years after accomplishing this the Gene-
ral earned his bread in Paris and London as a
teacher of languages and a newspaper correspon-
dent. It was not till 1852 that his American career
commenced, and three years of it were devoted to the
study of law at Philadelphia, when he settled in
Wisconsin. In 1856 he took a prominent place in
the Wrest, his eloquence being his passport. In
1861 he proceeded to Madrid as Minister to Spain,
but returned eagerly to take his place in the army
on the outbreak of the war. He was first appointed
Brigadier-General, but on the 17th June, 1862, he
was made Divisional Commander in Sigel's corps.
Soon after he was promoted to Major-General,
and distinguished himself in the Army of the
Potomac. During 1863 he was entrusted with the
command of a Corps of the Army of the Cumberland,
in which post he continued till the struggle ended.
lie was then appointed Commissioner to report on
the Southern States, but he went back to his old
work as newspaper correspondent at Washington.
Then he became editor of the Detroit Post, and
finally assumed control of an influential Western
German newspaper, the Westliche Post, fro:n which
this orator, writer, and soldier was taken to succeed
Mr. Henderson as United States Senator.
REL'BEN E. FENTON, the new Senator from New
York, was born in the town of Carroll, Chautauqua
county, New York, on July 1, 1819. He was edu-
cated at Pleasant Hill and Fredonia Academies,
subsequently studied law, but finally became a mer-
chant. In 1843 he was elected supervisor of the
town of Carroll, and in 1852 was chosen Represen-
tative from New York in the Thirty-third Congress.
In 1856 he was again elected Representative to the
Thirty-fifth Congress, and continued.in this posi-
tion till 1865, when he resigned from the Thirty-
eighth Congress to accept the Governorship of New
York. In 1866 he was again elected Governor,
and served until January 1, 1869. Fenton was
originally a Democrat, but afterwards joined the
Republican party, to which he now belongs. At
the Chicago Republican Convention he was a pro-
minent candidate for Vice-President. He succeeds
Edwin DI Morgan, whose term expires March 4,
1869. Grave charges have been made against Mr.
Fenton, more especially by the Commercial Adcer-
tiser ; and it was openly said that he would be suc-
cessful in Albany who paid most money. On the
whole, however, the selection gives satisfaction,
and Marshal 0. Roberts, one of his opponents, has
written to congratulate him on bis success.
THOMAS F. BATARD was elected to succeed his
father, who holds the place of United States Sena-
tor from Delaware till next March, when he will be •
followed by his son for the full term of aix years.
He is a clever lawyer, of strong Democratic prin-
ciples. He was educated at the private school of
the Rev. Dr. Hawks, of Flushing, Long Island.
His early training was for a mercantile career, and
after leaving school he was for some three years in
the counting-house of S. Morris Waln and Co.,
shipping merchants in Philadelphia. Upon the
death of his elder brother, James A. Bayard, jun.,
he began the study of law in his father's office,
and after having been admitted to the bar com-
menced practice in Philadelphia, but after the
lapse of two years returned to Wilmington, De-
laware. He was appointed United States Dis-
ltiisc4t. TAttohrenefyaminilAypirs well knownil,lBs3,butritelsigDneeldmii,narDe,ect.e,

with Senate, and after the war England was
of the commissioners appointed to negotiate a treaty
of peace. His son, Jas. A. Bayard, Senator ad interim,
is an eminent lawyer, and sat for a long time in the
Chamber, being successively elected from 1851 till he
resigned his seat in 1861. The Governor of Dela-
ware, however, in 1867, appointed him to fill the
vacancy caused by George R. Riddle's death. Mr.
Bayard is a Democrat of the courtly type, an aris-
tocrat in all his feelings, breeding, and habits, with
intellectual ability and greatdiomgnasitymoafychbaercaocmteer
and we trust that his son T h
fair copy of his father, for such members, however
opposed men may be to their principles, exert a
salutary influence, and find a fit place iu such a
chamber as the Senate.
