KentncI,V Avenged.

WE tender to the United States Senate our
sircerest sympathy because of the brief tele-
graphic despatch from Louisville. We can
imagine the blank despair, the unutterable
resignation, which came over that body
when it began to be whispered that "Garrett
Davis is reelected for six years." We almost
believe that Nemesis is now satisfied. The
desolated plantations of Kentucky, ruined
by Yankee vandalism, are now avenged;
the loss of slaves is compensated for; the
dead Rebel portion of the population have
now had their deaths avenged by the living
Rebels; whatever suffering has been inflicted
on Kentucky by the North, has now been
repaid to the North by Kentucky. At the
instigation of the ra6ical Senate, we have
given her abolition, ruination, and in many
cases depOpuIation and she, without heaping
Goals Of fire on their heads, returns them
Garrett Davis. We suppose many of our
readers have listened to the oratorcai
powers of the newly elected Senator. We do
not give him greater praise than he deserves
when we say that he can talk longer and say
less than any man now living. He speaks
slowly, so slowly that the hearer frequently
believes that be has forgotten what to say,
and while uttering Oracular sentences in the
most deliberate manner, imparts less ideas
than any public man. AS general rule he
cannot condense his remarks into less than
four hours, and on two occasions during each
session he owes it to his constituents to get
off two days. Grafton, which covers some
forty eight pages of printed pamphlet. AS
there is now no hour rule and no previous
question in the Senate, the infiction must be
borne. And now, just when it was fondly
hoped the incubus would be removed, when
every candidates chances looked brighter
than his, the tide is turned by vengeance in
his favor, and for six mortal years must his
intolerable long speeches be endured.
Considering that Mr.. Davis possesses none
of the qualifications of an orator or statesman
he has been for many years occupying an
illapportioned share of popular attention.
He was born in 1901. After serving in the
Legislature for several years, he was elected
to Congress i'll 1889, where he remained until
1S49. From that time until 1861, when he
was chosen Senator he devoted himself to
his pro fession of law, and also spent consider
able time in eX erimental agriculture. At
the outbreak of the war he was sent to the
Senate, where his voice has never been raised
on any but the side which lent a tacit SYM
pathy to treason. He was disciple of Clay
while the latter lived, but on his death
Davis forsook the doctrines OF his patron.
We suppose that for six years more we will
find his votes all in opposition to liberal and
enlightened progress.
