Milton g. Latham, the new U. s. Senator from

"A youth of perhaps twenty years. Alter few years

he ia elected to the Senate of the United States We
doubt IL there parallel ia the history of the country
of young man who has attained 10 the highest honor
of his State at so early age and in shoft period
of time. He insugurated only two days previous
to his being chosen Senator The seat in the Senate
now held by the Hon Henry p Haun, under an aP-
pointment by Gov. Weller. The annual salary Of the
Executive of California is 1909, and the term Of
service two years. 1t may seem strange that man
should give up salary of $4,000 year for $4,000,
which is the pay of a United States Senator, but it
should be borne in mind that while the Governorshp
il for only two years. the term Mr.. Latham viii have
to serve will cover nearly four years sslay, amount
ing in the whole to trife less than $4,000. Daring
bis term he will travel back and forth eight tines for
which the Government allows him, in mileage, about
So 400 each term, making an aggregate Of salary and
mileage of $31 O00 for little over three years service
as a Senator, agans $40 600 which be would have
ceived had he remained two years Governor Of tho
State.
The Mobile Register, owned and edited by Mr.
John Forsyth our late Minister to Mexico declared
in favor of Mr.. Douglas the most available osnd
date for the Presidency. The editor applauds Mr.
Douglas for his determination TO pursue vigorous for
eQn policy and concludes his article with these words;
''Above all, important the Southern
the Presidency who viii take advantage Of European
policy which will give slave labor tbs
portions Of this continent And Of the FOR
Southern support Mr. Douglas may be found In the services he
heretofore rendered such policy and In the courage and
ness OF character which change settled convictions
IDLE of the hour The Of the Illinois Senator
the guarsny of bis futue and his whole ssses
the vigorous foreign policy he would In hc
elected Pre- sident."
The German paper, the Nee- Yorker Demokrat,
thinks Mr.. Greeleys prophecy about the nomination Of
Douglas is unwarranted. 1t declares that the North
West winot have thepower ofnominaiionat Charles
ton, but that the South will and that she will use il
to obtain protection for Slavery by Federallaw.
"A newspaper has just made ts appearance in Now
Orleans under the name Of The State Rights Louis-
iasian. 1t places the name Of Stephen A. Douglas at
tie head of its editorial columns its candidate for
the next Presidency. In order to reconcile Douglass
