The NaiSSiS@iDpi Senators.


The Legislature of Mississippi has elected
three United States Senators-Mr. Revels
for the uneXpired term. ending March 4,
1871; General Adelbert Ames for the term
ending March 4, 1876, and Governor Acorn
for the term ending March 4, 1877. Of these
three the last is unqueStionably the best,
having in his recent political actions mani
tested some leanings toward Conservative
policy, and some just comprehension OF the
rights and the interests OF the state. we
hope and believe that Mississippi VIII hnd
an able and honest champion in Senator Al
corn.
The next in rank of merit is probably Mr..
ReYels. We have never had the pleasure OF
hearing from him before, and 1t Is therefore
impossible to form any opinion based on his
antecedents. All that we know of Mr.. Rev
els is that he is negro, and at present a
member of the State Senate. As Mississippi
is undergoing the operation of reconstruc-
ton on the Radical plan, the basis of which
lies in selecting the lowest ana most lgho-
rant class of society to represent and rule
over the highest and most intelligent, We
consider the choice of Senator Revels as
eminentIy appropriate, and his appearance
in the councils of the nation VIII doubtless
be warmly welcomed by the party to which
he belongs. If the eternal fitness of things
is consulted by the Senate sergeant-at-arms,
Senator Revels will be assigned a seat be-
tween Sumner, of Massachusetts, and Drake,
of Missouri.
OF the Senatorial trio, the palm of inferi
oriey must, by reclamation be awarded TO
General Adelbert Ames. This person may
be- and possibly is, the intellectual superior
of his colleagues, but during his reign as
military viceroy of Mississippi he has done
little else than reduce tyranny to a science.
His election to thesSenatorship is a sufficient
commentary upon the character OF the man.
As Senator Norton. of Minnesota, declared
in recent debate. ''this man was not even
a citizen of that State, but BY virtue of his
position as an agent of the United States he
was enabled to control and manipulate the
State elections and It's civil affairs" Gen.
eral Ames' ''manipulations" have made him
a United States Senator from Mississippi,
place which he has no more just right to
hold. than to occupy seat in the British
House of Lords. He is the mere offspring
of brute force, creature of the sword.

The election of Hiram e. Revels, a coli
