The season now just ut Its close has been

~ Senator Doolittle visited Mobile last
week, and grand dinner Was given him on
the night before Thanksgiving. Among the
guests Who extended the right hand OF fcl.
lowship was cx-rcbcl General Winston,
recently elected to the United states Senate
by the so.called Legislature Of Alabama.
Several other former disnItarics In the rebel
army were present. Doolittlo was toasted
as the "champIon OF the restoration Of the
Union and the equal rights OF all tho States
lately at war;" To this he responded In 4
long speech, modcstly accepting the title
bestowed upon him by the host. 1t Is evil
dent that Doolittlc is much more at home in
Alabama thnu In Wisconsin. lie had better
accept the Invitation Of his constituents to
resign. and take up his abode among those
who sympathize with his opinions.
