SENATORIAL.

SENATORIAL.
In the Democratic party we see the
names of some ten or a dozen persons
mentioned as a-pirants for Senatorial
honors the present wear and but one
name mentioned as a candidate for the
lower house of Congress. and in the
Republican party the difference in the
number of candidates for the two po-
sitIons i nearly as great. Why TINS
should te 50 we are at a loss 10 under
stand: unless it is found i'll the fact
that CongreSSmen are compelled 10
take their chances in an open fight be-
fore the people, while candidates for
the Senate only look to the limited
number of men who compose the Leg
stature to obtain a verdict in their
favor, where it is notorious that he
eminent fitness of candidates tor the
position Is about the last thing q
stdered. 1t was formerly the practice
inthe State of Illinois for the State
Conventions Of rhe respective parties
to desiznatetheir choice for Senator,
as well as for all other offices. BY
this course the contest between rival
asnirants terminated at the opening of
the campaign, and tine successful can
Gi,Iate could 90 into the canvass and
spend his time and money with The
full assurance that if his party sue
ceeGed he would receive his reward.
which, i'll our opinion was a decided
Improvement on the present method,
where each rival leader makes a fac
ripu> fight in the for the sole
purpose of advancing his OWN special
Interests and not those OF the party III
GENERAL. What we, therefore, propose
i. that the ten or a dozen gentlemen
whose names are prominently men
toned for the position OF United States
Senator, he required, by the party, TO
submit their names to the next state
Convention, and the one who shall re
ceive The Endorsement of the party IN
that body, shall be recognized as the
standard bearer in the campaign, to
be rewarded with the Senatorial office
IN a OF success. In this way, instead
OF rival cnIeftains wasting their
strength in the canvass, lighting each
other. the battle Will be fought out
before and at the meeting Of the State
Convention. and Senator and member
Of Congress thus lie put upon equal
conditions, 50 far as the campaign Is
concerned. /. is now expected that
candidate for member of Congress
shall make an active cdnvaSS OF the
entire State. while Senatorial a>pirants
confine their labors to attempts to carry
a few members OF the Legislature WHO
are supposed 10 he friendly to theii
Interests. IT should certainly be the
policy OF the party to require Senate
rial candidates to do as much for the
partv a. candidates orthe lower house.
and until tIlev are made elective by
lie nporle. this i the next best thing
that can be done. Let this matter be
considered in the State Central Com
,ujttee when it meets TO csll { Statt
Convention.

LOCAL MATTERS.

BENEFA FACToRs.-Men often become
benefactors through the persistent perform
ance OF services to mankind insignificant in
themselves and despised by the more lofty
aspirants for honor and fame. For instance,
there is an eccentric gentleman, named S.
). Hester, in Hartford, Conn, who regu-
larly stamps all letters held for postage in
that city, attaching to the envelope print
ed statement of the fact. We have thought
that there was good opening in Richmond
for benefactor of the same turn of mind.
The responses Mr.. Hester has received from
persons who have appreciated his disinter-
ested kindness, would fill volume, it is
said. A resident of Elizabeth, New Jersey,
writes to say that Marcus l.. Ward be-
came Governor of the State through the
action of this Hartford benefactor. A
Boston burglar acknowledged favor in
these words /: "Hester, you're gentle
man | ammo matter what but got
a letter you stamped just in time to dodge
the beaks and be off. Here's stamp, and
II | ever happen in Hartford in profession
al way shan't crack your bin if | knows
myself" If there is candidate for i'm
mortal fame at considerable pecunary
cost, let him apply for the position of
gratuitous letter stamper in the Richmond
postoffice.

The venerable William A. Menzies
died at the residence of his son, the Hon.
John w. Menzies, in Pendleton county,
Kentucky, on Friday last. MIR. Menzies
was very old man, probably eighty-eight
years Of age; yet, until within few weeks
before his death, he retained all his intel
lectual powers, with the vigor and fresh
ness and vivacity Of youth. He was ma
tive Of Virginia, but moved to Kentucky at
an early day, and settled in Bourbon coun-
tty. He lived subsequently for many years
in Boone county.

1t is well-established fact that people

whose occupations deprive them of sun
light.
The 'meanest MANI in Central Illi-
nois is q farmer living near Decatur. He
discharges his laborers Saturday night, and
charges them for lodging and board over

Literary men, who have made patient
researches in the matter, are pretty well
united in the opinion that the first book
printed on this continent was by Cornbeyer,
in Mexico, in the year l54l.
In consequence of the arrest of several
artists in hair for robbing the graveyards in
Lyons of their capillary attractions, it is

There was dismay in Chicago police

There are 600, 900 scholars in attend

The imported imitation leaves which
ornament the fashionable bonnets of the
day, are manufactured by the chemical use
of certain deadly poisons, to accomplish
which, young girls and children are month
lY employed. These necessitous and DOOM
ed creatures are almost sure to loose their
sight, if long occupied in the fearful busi-
ness, and not unfrequently die suddenly
from the poisonous contact.
1t is very gratifying to learn that the
magnificent generosity which was displayed
for the relief of the suffers by the Chicago
fire has been altogether sufficient for its
object. There is an overplus of 800, 900
in the hands OF the Relief and Aid Society,
which it is proposed to turn over to the
city treasury to be used in building an en-
dearing monument of charity, such as
free hospital or other beneficent institution.
There is now plenty of work to do, with
ready pay, and that is far better for people
than to receive gratuitous aid.

'NHE EUREKA CORN PLANTER.
THIS NEW CORN pLANrEI

THIS NEW CORN PLANTER,
Just perfected by II. NJ Smith Il Co, accom-
plshes what has always been a desideratum in
Corn Planters, namely: absolute certainty as 10
the quantity of seed planted, and as to the dis
tance between the hills.
All planters, depending upon brush 20 keep
Dack the corn, are liable to variation as any
press OF the seed causes the brush to Yield and
increases the quantity dropped.
THE EUREKA HAS NO BRUSH.
