The New sena tors Of vtrgInia.

The Legislature of Virginia yesterday
elected two Senators to represent that State
in the United States Senate. The choice
fell upon John F. Lewis. Esq, Of Rock
ingham county, and Judge John W. John
ston, Of Washington county. Mr.. Lewis
is native of Lewiston, small town in
Rockingham county, and a lawyer by pro-
fession. In politics. when party lines
were strictly drawn, he was an uncem-
promising whig, although residing in the
very midst of what was then known as the
tenth legion of Virginia democracy.
He was member of the Constitutional
Convention of 1861. but voted against
and refused to sign the ordnance of seces
sion. Throughout the war he continued
persistent advocate of the Union, and
was selected by Governor Pierpoint az his
secretary upon the removal of the seat of
government from Alexandra TO Richmond.
Upon the dscapitation of Governor Pier
point by order of General Scho6eld, Mr..
Lewis returned to his home in Rocking
ham, where he resumed the practice Of
bis profession. The convention which
nominated Governor Walker, placed the
name Of Colonel Lewis upon the ticket as
a candidate for Lieutenant Governor. and
at the election in July The latter officer
ran two thousand ahead Of bis ticket
Col. Lewis is about fifty years of age, Of
slender build, but six feet ia height, and
of very sedate and reflective turn.
Judge John W. Johnston. who has been
selected as the colleague of Colonel Lewis,
is native of Washington county. Va,
lawyer by profession, and nephew of
General Joseph Z. Johnston. who 6gur-
ed prominently in the Southern army dur
ing the recent war. He was always a de-
voted friend of the Union, and so remain :
ed during the war. A few months since
he was appointed judge Of the Circuit
Court of Washington county. and this. SO
far as our information goes. is the ,6rst
and only position of public trust he has
ever flled.-Baltigsore Sga.
I'VE correct the above by saying that it
was not Col. J. +. Lewis. the present
Senator elect, but his brother Charles
Lewis who was secretary to Governor
Pierpoint. The Col is made of mo such
stuff.

Satisfa ctiOn Of the President at the
Election of Senators from Virginia

satisfact Of the President at the
Election of Senators from Virginia.
The President to day. in conversation
with member of his Cabinet, expressed
great satisfaction at the action of the
Virgins Legislature in selecting men
for the United State Senate who can take
the iron-clad oath. Having ratified the
fourteenth and fifteenth amendments, and
complied in other respects with the
reconstruction acts, be did not see any
obstacle to her admission to representation
in Congress, and he h'ped there would be
none. The President seems to entertain
a high opinion of Governor Walker. Of
Virginia. He intimates that SO far Gov
ernor Walket has adhered to all the pied
yes he had made the President, and tho
latter regards liim as strictly honest
man. Whatever opposition may be made
by the defeated Wells party to the ad-
mission Of Virginia, it is evident she will
have the support of the President,
who is honestly anxious for the represen-
tation of all the States in Congress at the
earliest time possible. It is believed that
the report of General Candy relative to
the manner in which the election was con-
Quoted, to which allusion was made 10
th csc dispatches few days ago, will have
an important influence upon the Radicals
in Congress. Ben. Butler, who is relied
upon as the leader of the opponents
of admission, said, when here some time
ago, that except there was some proof of
fraud having been practicsd or intimi-
dalton used, he saw no reason for setting
the election aside or refusing to admit the
