INDIAsA U. S. SESAroRs.-The election
of Senators in the place of Bright, and
Fitch was the leading, and in fact the only
purely political issue in the State portion of
our late election. 1t has been understood
by all Republicans, aud has been urged by
every other section of the opposition, as an
inevitable thing. The propriety Of it, in
every view, political or moral, is most evil
dent, and the assumption that the will of
the State, lawfully expressed, will be dsa-
greed by the United States Senate, which
alone can stand in the way of such an cleo
ton, ought not to deter us from expressing
that will. 1t is the duty of the State to de-
clare its opinion of that great fraud, no
matter what may be the consideration the
L. S. Senate may giTc it. And TO perfect
that declaration, and make it anything
more than mere words, an election of Sen
ators is absolutely essential. If men can he
found suitable to send, and willing to ac-
cept, we need not trouble ourselves further
about the futility of the cfort.--State Jour.-

A LITERARY OMNIBUS DRIvER.-The New
York correspondent of the Charleston CoRr-
Ter relates the following biography of an ON
nibu3 driver, whose acquaintance he made
during a night on one of the lines in New
York:
Talking as people will naturally do when
journeying together, it was impossible not
TO notice that the driver of the car had seen
better days, and had pursued very different
avocation. The comet was blazing away in
the western sky. This furnished a topic Of
conversation. Instead of trying to illumin-
ate the driver on the causes, conditions and
theories of these curious celestial visitors. |
now learned that he knew more about them
than did.
He went beyond this topic, and began to
discourse meteorology, astronomy generally,
mathematics, &c His wonderful learning,
the extent and thoroughness of his reading
almost bewildered me. But my surprise
could not be imagined when, in illustration
of some thought, this driver of an avenue
car quoted line from Virgil Horace, too,
afterwards furnished one or two sententous
savings to the educated driver s-t
1t was d natural desire, but a very deli
| cate matter, to learn the history of such a
person. Slowly and timidly the facts came
out. lie had been in better circumstances
Though never a student at any college, he
had used every advantage that offered and
! grasped at the fruits of knowledge wher-
ever they hung in the garden of his expert
ence
! At first, in mercantile business, he was
| swindled by a partner, and ftalmOst with
out penny. He made another effort, and
went on sw immingly, fora while, In this honl
| of sunshine, he got married. The crisis OF
! last fall came, and again everything was
| swept away and instead of standing alone
/ upon the desolate shore of life, he had an
! other to look after and care for, even more
! helpless than himself. The thought of hi!
| wife being left to perjury and misery buoyco
him up to do something to spare her these
( infections.
There were several kinds of employment
at which he could make q small pittance
though many of them were prccariouS.. \:
/ a driver on a public car he was sure of s. 81
a day, though the business was laborious
and to him almost degrading. But ever
these objections had no terrors for. him
when he thought of her whom he hat
pledged to protect. And every day, iron
Il o'clock in TIE morning till IL o'clock a
night, this accomplished driver is making
his trips up and down the Sixth Avenue
t.Iking in his five cent fares with the equa
! nimity of IL philosopher. | wonder if tin
persons who travel with him ever imagin
that the Jehue over their heads eoull IL
struct them in the classics, or unfold to then
his wonderful stores of knowledge. This is NJ
romance. The facts were derived from TIL
driver himself, and it is another instance 0
what a man can do, however low he ma,
have got down in the world if he makes u
his mind to conquer or die.

der of Mr.. Swanson, was executed at noon

pricve would be granted by the Governor.
But few persons were present in the yard,
while on the outside of the Toombs there
was I large crowd, including many women.
Rodgers remained tolerabiy firm until the
last moment. His father was present, and

To THE FANcY.-Thc vincennes Gazette

To THE FANcY.-Thc Vincennes GAZETTE
contains the following banter:
A very interesting discussion is now go
ing On through the columns of the press in
Southern Indiana, the object of which
seems TO be to determine which is the fastest
"trotting nag within the limits named.
Evansville claims the Morgan horse, Prince
ton the Palmeter horse, while Vncennes
not only claims McGrady's Bob, but has
good reasons to know he is, and will con-
tinue to be the premium nag in this respect.
The reasons for thus thinking are, first, that
at the fair, Evansville and Princeton, backed
square out without trial. Secondly, have
neglected to accept wager that Bob can
beat them on any track named, with the ex-
ecption of e. and P, at any time speci fed,
for a purse of from 1000 to $1,000
Come gentlemen, come up to the rack, or
gracefully acknowledge beat.
