TIIE SEA-ATE.

(From the Anglo -American Times.)

A telegram to the Times announced that REUBEN
E. FENTON had been nominated Senator from New
York by a Legislative caucus ; JOHN SCOTT had
been nominated from Pennsylvania, CARL SCHURZ
from Missouri, ALEXANDER RAMSAY from Min-
nesota, CHARLES SUMNER from Massachusetts,
WILLIAM CUMBACK from Indiana, ZACHARIAII
CHANDLER from Michigan, WILLIA:,I M. STEWART
from Nevada, THOMAS W. TIFTON from Nebraska
—all Republicans ; JOHN P. STOCKTON from New
Jersey, Democrat. Mr. FENToN, whose term as Go-
vernor for the State of New York expired on New
Year's .day, defeated for that very office in the pre-
ceding term Mayor HoFFmaN, who then succeeded
him, by a majority of 13,789, the totals being
366,315 for FENTON, the Republican candidate,
against 352,526 for HOFFMAN, the Democratic. The
general opinion was that. E. D. MORGAN would be
re-elected Senator. JouN SCOTT was nominated by
acclamation for Pennsylvania in place of Senator
BUCKALEW. The contest was thought to be doubtful.
At the beginning of the year 35 members arrived at
Harrisburg, when ex-Governor Gnow and Congress-
man MOOREHEAD appeared the more likely aspirants,
especially the latter, whom Western Pennsylvania
supported to a man. However, on the 6th instant,
JOHN SCOTT was nominated by acclamation, all other
candidates having withdrawn in his favour, ex-
cept Attorney-General BREWSTER. No one knows
why such strong candidates as MOOREHEAD and
GROW withdrew ; nor does a letter written by
Mr. Gnow explain, while it is certain that the
choice, from whatever motives, of Mr. Son has
caused an open rupture between Mr. BREWSTER and
Senator CAMERON. General CARL ScHußz has
been, as we anticipated, successful in Missouri
against J. B. HENDERsoN,although, if an improbable
report be true, against the opposition of General
GRANT. Mr. HENDERSON'S vote on Impeachment,
and his course since, have led to the general opinion
among Republicans that he does not sincerely be-
long to their party, although he professes to do so,
and this impression was strengthened by the sup-
port of the National Intelligencer, the PRESIDENT'S
organ, while there are many reasons to be found
in our former numbers why CARL SCHURZ should
secure a seat in the Senate, chief among which is that
he would fairly represent there the German ele-
ment in the Union. Governor RAMSAY was re-
nominated against Mr. WILKINsoN on the 14th inst.,
and will keep the seat he at present so worthily
fills. About SUMNER we need only say that this
able statesman and brilliant orator is now known
to prefer the Senate to a seat in the Cabinet, as does
Governor FENToIt. Lieutenant-Governor CUMBACK
served a term in Congress with credit to himself.
lleis comparatively young, and there appeared when
the mail left strong reasons for believing he would
be selected to succeed Mr. T. A. llENDructis, Demo-
crat. Michigan had, before the departure of the mail
decided to stand by her old Senator, ZACHARIAII
CHANDLER, by a vote of 78 to 20 scattering. Mr.
CHANDLER has been a good deal abused for the anti-
teetotal example he sets; indeed there is a leading arti-
de in the Republican about him, wherein this sentence
occurs : " But Mr. CHANDLER'S fault is not that ho
takes a social glass of wine, but that he has habi-
tually used liquor to such an extent as to make him
reckless, indecorous, and scandalous." It goes on
to say, " The demand is at the present time im-
perative, to purify our politics, exact temperance,
integrity, and propriety of conduct from all our
public men, and create a deep and wide national
sentiment in favour of the old-fashioned honesty
and decency in office. Corruption is coming in
upon us like a flood ;" adding that it can only be
stayed by good men banding together in inexorable
opposition, and while admitting that Mr. CHANDLER
was making a desperate effort to break himself of
the habit, it recommends the high clear air of
Michigan as preferable to that of Washington, so
trying to reform. Apropos of intoxication, we
give the following extract from the same paper,
premising that the gentlemen alluded to are strong
Democrats and the paper is strongly Republican :
" Senator SAULSBURY was lately arrested at Wil-
mington, Delaware, for drunken and disorderly con-
duct at the residence of Senator BAYARD, his col-
league. When the officers found him be was lying
on the floor partially undressed. The Mayer, after
a short farce of a trial, discharged the tipsy Sena-
tor." Talking of Delaware-, whose eyes are now on
her Senators, we learn that Mr. BAYARD is to be
succeeded by his own son. A more recent tele-
gram confirms this, Trios. F. BAYARD being elected
in succession to his father. But if the above story be
true, we can only regret he does not succeed WILLIAM
SAULSBURY, whose term expires in 1871. We cannot
yet indicate the politics of the Senators from the Re-
constructed States; but nearly all of them are Re-
publicans. Senator STEWART has been renominated
from Nevada, and Mr. TfrroN from Nebraska,
both Republicans. The Democratic triumph is the
succession of Jorm P. STOCKTON to the place of
FRELINGHUYSEN, the present Republican Senator
from New Jersey.
