SENATOR MCKENNA.

Hon. Robert McKenna, Senator from the
twenty-third district, composed of the
counties Of Shelby, Fsyette and Upton,
was born in Glasgow, Scotland, in the year
1925, and is consequently 40 years of age.
He has never before been in puJlic life, bis
present office being the first official position
held by him. Previous to the late war he
was engaged in the mercantile and manu-
featuring business, but since that time has
resided upon his farm in Shelby
county, where he now lives, en-
gagged in agricultural pursuits.
He has recently obtained letters patent of
the United States for four different i'm
provements on the cotton gin, which i'm
provements are bis own invention. He has
the improvements attached to gin used
by himself, and they are highly spoken of
by all who have seen them, and will no
doubt be a valuable acquisition to that
branch of mechanism. In the late canvass
Mr. McKenna was nominated by the Re-
publican party, and made his race as Re-
publican, supporting the entire Republican
ticket. His postofice is Whites Station,
Shelby county.

Stats Of Illinois, where he learned the

1850 he crossed the plains to California,
where he was engaged in mining in the
counties of Placer ard Nevada, until June,
1866, when he sailed sgain for the
Atlantic States. Upon arriving here
LIZ bought the farm on which he has eyer,

never before been in public life, and in the
recent canvass be was brought out By the
people without regard to party and was sup
ported by all alike, only losing two out Of
two hundred and fifty votes in his own
home district. He holds that extremes of
all kinds are dangerous and Is decidedly
Conservative in bis views, and insists that
it is the present and the future, notthe past,
that we now have TO deal with. In the late

nnlfIN SEFFRAGE.

The mooicd question of woman's right
to suffrage, found an anwer the other day
by Judge Jameson of Chicago. Mrs.
V. Waite, of that city, brought an action
against the judges of election who refused
her vote last November Mrs. Waite's
counsel made the points, that suffrage is
a natural right, under the constitution Of
the United States, the constitution of Hi
nois, the declaration of independence, the
X1Vth and XVIII amendments and the
decalogue. Judge Jameson denied the first
proposition, holding that the right to vote
was not natural but an acquired one, by
consent Of those who lave the power to
give or withhold. On the second point he
declares that to quote tie authorities al
luded TO as favorable to the women is to
! give currency to the foolish heresy that a
law, general in its terms, but admitted to
express only particular intention of the
lawmaker, can by construction be made TO
enact, what il is admittedhe did not in
tend Even admitting that there is con-
sttutional provision giving her the right
to vote there is no statute enabling her to
cast her ballot, since constitutional
provisions do not enforce themselves.
But the Judge gallantly comesI forward
to soothe the persistent Ms. W. by adj
ding; upon the policy of so amending
our laws as to permit women to vote, l
shall only observe that, on principle, !
see no ground for refusing to DO so when.
ever n general demand for the suffrage is
made by women themselves. They form
a distinct class Of persons, having recu-
liar rights and interests, Of which they
might he the best guardians, if they W uld
assume the labor and responsibility Of
that office. Be this us it may, one thing
.ecms 20 me clear, that fwomen are to en-
ter the capitol with view to seat them
selves by the side of the consc-ipt fathers
as legislators and administrators, they
ought to wait until they can effect their
entrance there, legally and directly, by the
door"
This decision, to say the least, is more
liberal than has heretofore been accorded
the women by previous judges and will do
more to advance their cause, than all the
lectures and speeches that have been de.
livered for them by their advocates.

EXECUTIVE PATRONAGE.

The New York Tribune has recently
been reviving the sayings of the fathers
in relation to the necessity Of with
holding patronage from high officials, lest
they use 1t to corrupt those
under them and thus establish
themselves in permanent power. 1t cites
Mr.. Jetierson's circular on this subject
enjoining federal offlce-holders from
taking an active part in party politics, es-
| pecinlly in the selection of party candi-
dates, should they them selves be ambitious
of II denomination. These have always
been regarded Ny right-,hinhiug men as
sound in principle and policy, and not
until the avowal of that unprncipled and
barbarian motto--"to the victors belong
the spells were they in practice de-
parted from. Daniel Webster in his great
speech, delivered in the United States
senate in 1885, asserted the same doctrine
And generally, our greatest statesmen
have reiterated and endorsed it. If such
denunciatioD Of the concentration Of pat
ronage was right in the years gone by,
what epithets Of scathing Indignation
should the present corruption and misuse
of power in executive offices evoke? At
Washington the executive power has been
multiplied a hundred fold since Webster's
declaration that he who controls a man
living, controls his will, and wished for
that reason to stay the further contagion
of the plague which had broken out, with
such disastrous effect in the white house.
But the powers of the president as to the
whole people of the union, are limited in
deed, as compared with the carpet-bag
governors of several Of the reconstructed
southern states. The authority and pat
ronage with which radical ingenuity has
hedged about the gubernatorial office, have
led to the most disastrous consequences in
South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Texas
and Louisiana. The power bestowed
for party ends has been used to burden
the people, and at the same time to de.
prive them Of the ability Of successful re-
sistance. 1t furnishes temptations and
leads to complications. 1t gathers around
the executive Office the venal and the
sycophantc, who have become at once
he lure to corruption and its foil Suci |
power is unsafe, no matter who wields it.
1t is in consonance with neither republ-
ian principles nor traditions, and should

and that he would pay any price rather
