RUNNING DO WIN.

There has been, under the Republican DOM
ination, says the Cincinnati Enquirer, the
most utter and complete degeneracy in the
material which composes the United States
Senate. Formerly that body was composed
Of statesmen and men of talent. 1t is now
mainly up made of small local politicians and
petty demagogues, who have slight ability
and small experience. Only think Of SUM-
NER and WILSON being in the place of WEB
srER and CALHOUN, and WADE in the place OF
THOMAS EwrNc The pigmy HENDERSON is
in the seat once honored by the giant BEN
TON, and Governor MORGAN, of New York,
essays to fill the vacancy of SILAs WRIGHT.
Every change seems to be for the worse, even
among the Republicans themselves. The Con-
necticut Legislature has lately nominated
General TERRY for United States Senator, IN
place of Mr.. FOSTER, who is now the acting
Vice President. FOSTER is a man OF some
dignity and ability, with long experience
while TERRY has. no qualifications for the
post, that anybody knows. He has baen in
Virginia as a sort of military dictator, where
his proceedings have been characterized by
contemplate tyranny. This, probably, is hlf
merit in the estimation of the Radicals, and
has led to his selection.
