Thomas f. Bayari, chosen ON Tuesday, to be
uniie States Senator iron this State, for six years
from March 18th. Is a lawyer, native Of and rcsid-
ing in. this city He is now about 40 years of
age. His education was mainly obtained at the
famous private school OF Rev. DR.. Hawks at
Flushing, Long Island. His early training wis
for mercantile career, aud after leaving school,
he was for some three years, in the counting
house OF 5. Morris VAIN, i Co., shipping mer-
chants in Philadelphia.
Upon the death Of bis elder brother. James A.
Bayard, Jun, he commenced the study OF law
in bis fathers office, aud was in due time admit
ted 10 the bar. Soon after, he located in Phila-
delphia, to practice his profession, but after
year or eighteen months, returned to Whining
ton. He was appointed U. 5. District Attorney,
in April 1858, but resigned and hon. d. NJ. Bates
was appointed, In December 1854. Other than
this he has held no public positions, OF impor-
lance.
Mr.. Bayards father, james A. Bayard, has been
repeatedly in the United States Senate, and is now
serving out term. His uncle Richard II. Bay
ard served in the same body from 1856 to 1915,
and his grandfather, James A. Bnyard, from 1904
to 1873
Personally Mr. B. is an active, igctc and
diligent lawyer. He will make more servicabe
Senator, in many practical matters, than his
father, and will be very probably valuable men,
Der of the Senate, for duties not political. In the
latter respect he will differ most distinctly from
the great body OF the Senate, his education and
habits of thought being all of the ultra Southern
States Rights character, and entirely opposed tc
the great progressive movement which the Re
| public is irresistbly making.

The installation OF Odn Bowie as Cover
nor OF Maryland, took place at Annapolis on
Wednesday. Governor Bowie in his ad-
dress, said he was assured the finances of
the State were in good condition, but he
feared that the Comptroller's report would
not bear out the statement. He opposes an
extra session of the Legislature as unneces-
sary. Referring to national politics, the
Governor spoke OF General Grant us u man
oil enlarged and liberal ideas, generous i'm
pulses, high magnanimity, firm pur-
poses, an exalted sense of right and justice,
and a man to lead and not to be lead He
said that the same antagonism between Con-
gress and the President which thwarted Pres
ldcnt johnson will not exist He Governor
Bowie) would give to General Grants adj
ministration cordial support in every effort
for the reconstruction and pcrpeluity of the
Union. In his remarks the Governor made
no reference to the suffrage question. 1t is
predicted that his address will give dissatis-
faction to the fossil wing of the Democracy.

THESE ARE GOLDEN WoRDs in the inaup-
ural address of Governor Caflin, Of Massa-
chusetts -
A final measure to secure the tranquility
of our nation is now demanded by every
consideration of gratitude to the brave
heroes who have fallen, and of Justice TO
those so long enslaved and as yet only par
TALLY enfranchised, who aided to achieve
the triumph. The American idea Of liberty
is based on the principle that is expressed in
those immortal words of the Declaration of
Independence: "Al men are created equal Z
The events of the war have made free all
over whom the flag of the nation waves,
but, as yet, all are not equal at the polls,
either as voters or as candidates for office.
A citizen of the Union should have the same
privileges, whether his home is in Maryland
or Massachusetts. Deny one man in Mary
land his rights as to suffrage or any other
national matter and the citizen of Massa-
chusetts suffers as well as the DISTINGUISHED
in Maryland.
Let ii then, be made part of the consti-
tuition that suffrage on national questions
shall be the same in every part OF the Union;
establish it in the organic law, and no change
Of parties can abridge the right; embrace
the present opportunity and the nation will
reap the full fruit of the victory. Failure
now VIII bring doubl and uncertainty as to
the future, and the friends of the ballot in
other lards, while they are struggling for the
right, will feel the loss, and lament our want
of courage, persistency and fidelity, to the
great idea which inspired our contest.
True, every word Let Congress write
1t upon the heart of the nation, and the peo-
Pile will engrave it forever on the Republics
foundations.

THE REPEAL of the law fixing the legal
rate of interest at six per cent, is being dis
cussed in this State. The higher rate paid
by Government, the Pacific Railroad, and
other great borrowers, as well as the intlu-
ence of New York and other States which
permit seven per cent, has so deprecated
Investments on bond and mortgage in Della
ware that for several years it has been very
difficult to effect loans on such security. This
is true, even in this city, while in the lower
counties, it has been almost impossible. If
in addition, the recommendation Of Govern
or Salisbury to tax bonds and mortgages be
adopted by the Legislature, the trouble will
be greatly increased, and nothing will relieve
it but fixing the legal rate at seven per cent,
or repeating the usury laws altogether

WENDELL PHILLIPS, in last weeks Anti

Where is the Constitutional Amendment
Has Congress forgotten it, or is there an in
tent to bank the peoples wish ? This delay
is alarming. By the time, one House at
least, might have disposed Of the question
With proper speed it might have been
still further advanccd-might have been al
ready on its way to the State Legislatures.
We see this dilatoriness with great anxiety.
Other measures may, without any great harm
be postponed. But every hours delay here
Is dangerous. The nation is floating further
and further from that keen sense Of the mean
ingof the war which alone gives us any good
hope of reapng from that dread ordeal all it
really produced for us, The friends of i'm

said I'll thank the Convention of which you
are the representative for the confidence they

bestowed upon them; and by their future con-
duct prove themselves deserving of all they now

THE PHILADELPHIA BULLETIN says of the
friends to American Labor, and Protective
System, that " like the Irishman's owl, they
fare doing a dale Of thinking, though
"they may make less noise than Free Trade
Leagues and Manchester agents; while
"among intelligent business men, such as
those composing the Boston Board of
Trade, the conviction never was so strong
"that increased duties are necessary to fos-
"ter the depressed industry of the country,
ito restore the balance of trade, and to has
ten the resumption of specie payments
We believe this to be true-that the con
victions Of the people were never so general
and so positive in opposition to free trade.

The WASHINGTON CORRESPONDENT of tho
Baltimore american writes, Monday even
ing, thus: -
There is a general desire in Congress to
take immediate action on the amendment to
the Constitution regulating the suffrage.
There can be no question as to its passage
by both houses of Congress, after which it
will be submitted to the States. A promi-
nent Senator said tonight: 81 have no
doubt that sufficient number of the States
will ratify IT. The Legislatures will be glad
to strike it out of future canvusses, auo 1
think we shall have the whole subject dis
posed of this year"

TIE Postal TELEGRAPH SYSTEM, proposed
in Congress by Mr.. Washburne, is almost
universally approved by the newspapers,
who speak, in this instance, not alone for
their own interests, but of the business pub.
lie and the people. If the Governments
control of the mail system is productive OF
good results, its control of telegraph sys-
TEN is not less important. Both are for the
purpose of securing easy, cheap, and quick
communication among the people, and in
these days, there is no possible reason why
the quickest method should not be both
easier and cheaper.
