The Nation makes some remarks upon the latest

more ssvsrs than those We felt called upon to make
upon the same subject;
M. Deming, Of Conneeticut, delivered In the
House on Thursday speech on tho bill creating
the grade Of general In tho United States army
one Of those spseehes which make Congress and the
country ridiculous. He cited precsdsnts for the
promotion Of General Grant to the newly y-oreaied
dignity sesostris, Rameses, Pharaoh, and several
unmsntioned Babylonian and 'Assyrian chiefs He

more noble language, II was the war which, for
two centuries, ragged round mighty Ilium." Most
Of the discourse was Of piece with thisi and when
one thinks that the orator was uttshng the voice Of
the House upon one Of the most inspiring themes
Of the century, one cannot help asking solemnly,

over cruel neglect and haughiy pride carries the
heart Of the bsholdsr. Whether a. = play. spec

A NEW SENATOR FROM CONNEC-
TICUT-ITS SIGNIFICANCE.

The nomination Of Mr.. FERRY as the sue
cessor Of Senator FosrKR from Connecticut
has significance about it Of more import
ance than at first appears. IL the Legisla-
ture Of Connecticut ratify the action Of the
Republican caucus, which it no doubt will
do, Mr.. FosrKR will retire on the 4th Of
March next from the Presidency Of the SEN
ate, which position makes him acting Vice
President Of the United States This will
involve the necessity Of electing new acting

ofthe appointment Of HHrr A. SxYrHE, ESQ.,
u Collector Of New York In thus seconding

without reference to politics, but with q high
regard for, and sincere desire to serve, the
great business interest Of the country, the

Though Il has shown dilatoriness In reach
ing conclusion on the subject, IL has never
theless rendered just Judgment which we
