FRANCHISED OF THE SOUTH,
AND WHAT THEY
ARE DOING.

bers of the Thrty-sixth Congress, we have
the following:
Benjamin Fitzpatrick, Senator from
Alabama gentleman of quiet tastes,
who, if living, has not been heard from
since the war, and is not likely to come I'D
again for office. [Hc is dead.l
''Hon. Clement G. Clay, Jr., United
! States Senator from Alabama, has entirely
withdrawn from politics. He leads a very
retired life, and his health at last adyices
vas very feeble. He Is not likely TO he an
| aspirant for public honors, whether at home
| or broad.
"Hon. Robert w. johnson, Unitcd States
Senator from Arkansas, has withdrawn
from public life, and since the war has
been engaged in the practice of law nc
| Washington City.
"Hon. David l.. Yulee, United States
senator from Florida, took no prominent
part IN the Confederate service, and has
been devoted since to railroad matters He
! is president of rather sickly railroad, w.
| ing between Fernandina and Cedar Keys,
called the Florida Railroad.
! "Hon. Stephen l.. Mallory, Senator from
Florida. After his liberation from i'm
prisonmen at Fort Lafayette, Mr.. Mallory
entered upon the practice Of the law al
! Pensacola, Florida. He has not figured
prominently in politics since. He is gen.
tleman OF temperate and conservative
views, and anxious for a restoration and
harmony between the two sections.
Hon. Alfred lverson, United States
Senator from Georgia, is now greatly ad-
. vanced III years. He is out of political
life. Hon. Robert Toombs, the other
Senator from Georgia, has been more
active as very pronounced Bourbon, not
willing to swallow Greeley, and though
much admired by Georgians for his eio-
quence and genius, yet not very infuen-
tial, by reason Of his extreme VIEWS
Georgia's favorite son to-day, seems to be
Gen. John Is. Gordon, and since the death
Of her wisest statesman, tho Hon. Howell
! Cobb, lac has been the most decidedly rep
resentative man Of this great and energetic
, commonwealth.
I ''Of the Louisiana Senators, Mr.. John
. SlidCil is dead and Hon. Judah p. Ben
! iamin, standing in the front rank Of the
English bar and reapinS a large profess
I sonal income, may be regarded as hence
| forth and forever a British subject and
quite out Of the line Of political speculations
! in America.
! Mr.. jefferson Davis is President of the
Carolina Life Insurance Company, Of
/ Memphis, and to this he gives the energies
! which he orcc 80 ardently devoted to e
! public career. 1t yields him salary pre-
badly for the wants of himself and family.
| That Mr.. Davis regards his political career
as terminated and has no desire to re-enter
upon such struggles is notorious and con-
spicuOuS fact.
"The Hon. Albert G.. Brown, Senator
from Mississippi is in private life. He Is a
gentleman or liberal conservative opinions,
accepts the situation,' but if he has any
political aspirations is not apt to have them
gratifed, inasmuch as his State is domino
ted by large negro majority.
"The Hon. TrAsten Polk, United States
Senator from Missouri, has been in private
life since the war. The great changes i'm
Missouri from emigration and other causes
have brought another class of men forward,
aud Mr., Polk 10 far too ambitious gentle
man to seek or desire official preferment.
/" OF the two South Carolina Senators
Gov. Hammond is dead. The others, Gen.
James Chestnut, justly occupies high po-
sition i'll the regard and confidence of his
felowcitizens, and a gentleman of rare
| good sense and high ability, but he is not
likely to come to the front.
"Hon. A. 0. L. Nicholson, OF Tennes-
see, United States Senator, has figured
prominently since the war. He is now
Chief Justice Of the supreme Bench of
Tennessee, and is not likely to quit the
bench for the political arena.
"Lewis T. Wigfall, of Texas, United
| States Senator, at tho last account was
practicing law at Baltimore, and out OF
politics completely.
r, NJ. Il. Hunter alone survives. This
gentleman has been engaged in agricultural
and literary pursuits since the war, and
has not mingled in political discussions,
except during the recent campaign, when
his speeches at Tammany Hall and al
Richmond have challenged the admira-
| ton Of all, including his adversaries, by
their moderation, thOughtfulncss and pro-
found statCsmaDSbip.
