THE NEW SENATORS FROM TEXAS.

teegraphic despatch from New Orleans. pub
lished in our last issue briefly announced the cleo
ton to the Senate of the United States by the legis
lature of Texas of Hon, j. p. Henderson and Hon.
j. w. Hemphill--the first presume, to fill the
vacancy occasioned by the death of the lamented
Rusk, and tho second TO succeed General Houston,
whose term of Office expires on the Sd OF March,
1859
Both these distinguished gentlemen are known to
the country by their commanding abilities and devo-
zion TO democratic principles. Mr.. Henderson has
been governor of the State, and for many years a
prominent leader, high in the councils and contl-
dence of the people of Texas. Judge Hemphll Is a
native of South Carolina, who emgrated at an early
period from his native State, and settled in San An
tonic. and became citizen of Texas From the era
of her independence he has been idepthed with the
history of Texas as republic and State, and at one
time he was prominent among those who were regard
ed as suitable candidates for the presidency OF that
republic He is an eminent lawyer and advocate,
and has participated able actor in the progress
OF Texas, from small beginnings to a sovereign
State of this Union. For several years past he has
been chief justice OF the State.

HON. @. w. JONES. OF IOWA.

Notwithstanding the result shows large democratic
gains. the Des Moines Journal comedies that the
black republicans of Iowa have elected their cand-
date for governor by small majority, and have also
secured working majority in the legislature, The
Journal in this conncxion, takes occasion to pay a
high and deserved compliment to the Hon. George
w Jones, gentleman who has not only represented
the interests of Iowa in the Senate of the United
States with ability and distinguished success, but
who is widely known for his zeal and fidelity as a
democrat ''TIo heat of the election excitement,
says the Journal, 's oyer--the time for calm
thought and fair judgment is at hand--and we havo
no doubt that when the actions and official conduct
Of George w. Jones fairly calvassed, his most
bitter political opponents will be forced to bear
their testimony to the fact that he has proved him
SELF by years Of service, to be an honest faithful
and capable public servant"
