A Washington correspondent says mat
one Of Gen. Grants staff ofiices received a
letter from Boston SATURDAY. morning. IN
which the writer said he was surprised tohnd
that his friends were mentioning his name
for an important Office, which, he added, he
did not want, though he would accept il, if
such course seemed advisable. He WAS
answered THAT he need not give himself any
uneasiness; for Gen, Grant would not com
pel any man to take office under him. The
letter was understood to be intended as an
adroit feeler, and created some amusement.

The new senator from Wisconsin, to sue.
coed Mr.. Doolittle, is Matt H. Carpenter,
who is thus noticed by the Chicago Post
Mr. Carpenter is one Of the few instances
Of public men who have risen at once from
professional to high official life without the
intermediate course Of legislative, judicial
aud state service, which usually marks the
course of politicians. Though enjoying
national reputation and though often con.
cerned in political affairs as public speak.
er, Mr.. Carpenter has never held office
enough even 10 entitle his name to the
cheap handle Of "Hon.' which will now,
with so much propriety, be attached to it.
Mr.. Carpenter like Douglas, Stevens, and
many other distinguished men, owes his ma
tiyty to the little state Of Vermont, having
been born in Washington county, in that
stale, in the year 1924. He was educated
at West Point and studied law in the Office
of the Hon. Paul Dillingham;, since governor
Of Vermont, and was admitted to the bar
Proceeding to Boston, he pursued his legal
studies still further in the Office Of Rufus
ChoRte, and was admitted to the bar of the
supreme court of Massachusetts. In ls4s
he removed 20 Wisconsin and located "a,
Beloit, Rock county, where he remained ten
years. Removing to Milwaukee in 1858,
Mr.. Carpenter entered rapidly upon lucra
tive practice, which may DO said to hav
eliminated in his selection to argu
before the supreme court of the Unite
States the momentous question OF tn
consttutonality of the most importar
series Of acts ever passed by congress, 70
owed by his selection, by the legislature {
his own state, to represent it for six veal
in the senate Of the United States. Polit
oally, Mr.. Carpenter was democrat up I
the frng Of the first gun upon Sumter
since which time he has been an uncomprC
missing war democrats and republican. Som
Of his speeches in behalf Of loyalty durin
the early part of the war were among th
most eloquent appeals ever made in bella
of patriotism in any land. His election
the best Office within the gift Of the state,
despite OF able competition, is a signifca
tribute of admiration for his superior ia
ents and his past fidelity in time Of trial.
