Gen. Ames, the military satrap of Missis-
sippi, recently elected himself. by force of
the bayonets under his command, one of the
United States Senators from that State.
That he is totally ineligible. on account of
his want Of citizenship. is plain enough,
but as he is q full pledged Radical. this tri-
fling objection to Ames will not be of much
account. Revels has been admitted to his
seat, and why should Ames not be2
Gen. Reynolds. the Military Governor of
Texas. was spoken of by the Radical press
as likely TO be elected one of the Senators
from that State. Whatever else may be
said of him. he possessesses some modesty
and none Of the brazen iHpudence Of Amss.
From a letter Of Gen. Reynolds declining to
permit the use Of his name as a candidate,
and from which we take tbs following SEN

that Ames is an inhabitant of Mississippi. .''in

1t was very true that the President had
concluded at first not TO receive that pointer.
and had sent him summarilv from his prem

advisers. who was.an experienced dog fancier.
had called on him AMI set fuIth the praises
of this Cleveland contribution in glowing

great nistake not to accapt him further
more that the express charge of ten dol;araS
was an error, all the cost of transportation
having been prepaid in full.
The Presidents cnuntenance was instant

scious buDder; he saw at glance that he
had acted hastily in not receiving the dog
and his first inquiry on recovering his self
possession was as to how he conld retrieve

President directed Dent to proceed thither

But the colored citizen. who is said to be
an excellent judge of dogs. was not easily
persuaded to this arrangement and at last
accounts he and Dent were discussing the
matter in very animated and excited style
of language. But Dent was evidently get

The corrupt practices Of several carpet
Tag members Of Congress are being unearthed
by the Military Committee Of the House and
exposed to public view. Until the advent
of these precious scamps into the councils of
the nation, the custom of selling, for con-
sideration, cadetships to the Military Acad-
emy at West Point was unknown, bat since
their evi-omened appearance on the public
stage the thing has been reduced to prac-
tical science. During the late rebellion the

termination Of the war he took up his resi-
dence in South Carolina, where be became
quite popular with the colored race. It is
related of him, thai he persuaded the inno-
cent and unsophisticated negroes to believe
that the emancipation proclamation not only
conferred freedom upon them, but. what
greatly astonished them, that it also abso-
lutely absolved them from their marriage
vows. AS he was minister of the gospel,
he averred that he could make all things
right again with the dirorced negroes, and
commenced marrying them over again at .he
moderate rate of one dollar for performing
the ceremony. The negro population in
this section Of the State being three fourths
of the whole, Whittemore made nice thing
out of this little clerical operation, which
was his first financial essay in the land of
Dixie. He was regarded rs great and good
man by his poor and ignorant dupes, the
negroes. who elected him to Congress by a
majority of over Seren thousand. His career
in that il,ustrious and immaculate body has
