The Republicans of Missouri have
honored their state and themselves by
selecting Carl Sehurz as their candidate
for United States Senator, to succeed
John B. Henderson. The most elo-
quent English-speaking German in this
country, and and one of the truest of
the soldiers of Ltberty-in other wars
as well as ours-has thus the honor of
appearing as the solitary representative
Of our foreign population in the high

George Alfred Townsend writes -
'sThe two Massachusetts Senators are
worthy men in the broadest sense, both
poor, without interests in pelfs of any
sort, and without any of that intimacy
with ring jobs, or chicaueries which
so notably attaches to fair majority of
the Senate. Wilson is as poor as any
newspaper correspondent, with little
surplus of four or Eve hundred dollars
in bank, q good character as good q
temper, excellent charity. Sumner is
all himself, fearless, straig htfOrward,
unappeasable, as legislator higher and
broader than himself as a man. The
State of Massachusetts is indescrfbabIy
the best personated State in the SEN

"A st. Louis dispatch announces that
General Carl Schurz has received the
nomination Of the Republicans of the
Missouri Legislature for the seat in the
United States Senate, soon to be vaca-
ted by Mr.. Henderson. This will give
general satisfaction to Republicans
everywhere, and is only just recogni-
ton of General Schurz' ability and of
the thousands of adopted German citi-
zens who swell the ranks of our noble
party.-Sdndsrskg Register.
In q tariff article the Tribune makes
the remarkable statement "that out of

articles which we do not produce, and

No less than six Republican newspa-
per offices have been destroyed by mobs
the neighboring Democratic journals
have generally been active in the work,
The New Orleans Republican says that
there is a method in the madness of
these rebel sympathizing editors. The
Republican papers have the State print

reap the benefit of the public patronage.
Hence private interest is Joined to pol
itical hate in getting rid of their rivals.
The whole country will heartily ap-
prove the action of the Maine Legislature
in deciding to send Hannibal Hamlin to
the United State Senate. While not a
single objection was to be urged against
the present incumbent, Mr.. Morrill,, yet
the desire was Well-nigh universal that
the choice might fall on the man whose
name is still associated in the peoples
mind with the first victory and the pur-
er days of the Republican party, and
whose name VIII also be a standing re-
buke to all corruptionists and corrupt
schemes, Mr.. Hamlin was set aside in
in 1864 TO give place to the beautiful
boon, Andrew johnson. and now there
is degree of poetic justice in the fact
that on the day when Johnson steps
into disgrace and obseurity Hannibal
Hamlin will come again to the front,
hOBored not only by his own State, but
by the whole country Exit johnson, hail

The contest over the Senatorship in
Missouri has resulted in the nomination
of General Carl Schurz. His triumph
is the more complete because the Oppo-
sition to him was very bitter and un-
scrupulous. GeberaI Schurz is gen
tleman of great talents, and he will be
an important Senator. He viii repre-
sent especially the German element in
Missouri, which has been the most re-
liable force in Republicanizing that
State. As Senator Drake was at pains
to go to Missouri to oppose schurz and
did so with characteristic zeal, he loses
prestige, and gains an able and watch
full enemy Comm ereidk.
