says of Mr. Fenton:
Gov. Fenton is not, in any sense

in every sense of of the word, an
adroit, persevering and successful
politician. He knows how to enlist
other men in his service and attach
them to his fortunes, He is quick
to discern the drift of public senti,
ment, and ready always to go with
it. He is very considerable skill in
administration and seldom make
glaring mistakes, while he never
achieves any very striking or bril-
liant intellectual success. He lis a
man of fair abilities, pleasing man
ners, and well skilled, by nature and
experience, in political navigation.

as never was known in the history

to hundreds Of millions of dollars

what they are about. They can and

OAGIlk SCHURZ.

We are really gratified toFlearn
of the election Of Gen. Carl Schurz
to the Bnfted States Senate, by the
Legislature of Missouri, in place Of
Henderson. We have on previous
occasions. expressed our admiration
of this noble, patriotic and
talanted German, and it gives lis pc
culiar pleasure to know that this
adopted citizen goes to the United
States Senate, the highest office
within herreach Of foreigner, by
the voice of the Radical Republican,
party of Missouri. Mr.. Schurz came
to this country about II years ago,
poor and without friends. Our glo-
rious institutions gave him the op-
portunity and how nicely he has
climbed up the ladder Of fame. =
The Columbus Journal pays this
brief tribute to Mr.. eSchurz Mr..
Schurz won our heart many years
ago by the delivery in this city ola
scholarly and mastery address on
the French Revolution. Since that
time, he has delivered, in the various
political campaigns, some as able
political speeches. as we have ever
read, Hei unquestionahly the ablest
naturalized citizen of which the
country can boast He will take
the very first rank in the United
States Senate. ,,.- -.s'a~.-rs-5-,s W

about $50, and to be calculated at q

Right!

Congress has fired an effective
shot. Wearied of seeing the flock
of vultures continually lowering
around the Capitol. the House Elaz-
ed away into the thick of them with
resolution that hit more than half
of the birds Of prey, and sent the
other half away screaming in alarm.
They resolved That, in the present
condition of the national finances,
no further subsidies ought to be Civ
en- by Congress, either in bonds or
monay, to railroad or other corpor
ations, or to promote local enterpri-
ses :; but the wSole. resources of the
country ought to be applied to the
pressing necessities OF the public
service in such manner as will re-
lieye the people from the burdens OF
taxation. That is in the right pitch,
and we hope Congress will sing that
tune steadily and without variations,
throughout the session. i
We regret that the House did not
also resolve to refuse grants of land
tor similar purposes, but the resolu-
ton to that effect was SO worded as
to interfere with the Soidiers's
Bounty Bill, and therefore several
who would otherwise have favored
the measure voted against it. This
was unfortunate, as many ofthe lob
byists. considering halfa loaf better
than no bread, will renew their i'm
portunities for grants for land where
they cannot get money and bonds.

Under such a system Of legisla

sixty days once in two years would
be ample time for session of the
General Assembly; or if annual
sessions are to be holden (which ]
think better, though of doubtful
constitutionality under our present
constitution), J, forty or fifty days per
annum would be ample time for the
legitimate purposes of legislation
If the salaries ofmembers and Off
