How TEE SENATE n BEING DE-
AIORAIESER.

The Washington correspondent of the
Cincinnati Gazette, himself a Radical Of the
most orthodox stripe, has been waghIg a
vigorous war against some Of the corrupt
Radical Senators from the Northwest, and
has succeeded in killing ofHarIaHy 9fIowa,
a "big man" Of tie tribe. lie Is now
turning his attention to some others. In
his letter of Jan. %, he says:
"a certain class Of Senators are constantly
finding fault with writer's who do not hest
tate TO call public attention to all indica-
tions ofc0rTuption in Congress. Their com
paint is that the tendency of such expo
sures is 10 create the impression that all
Congressmeu are corrupt. Is il not just
possible that the Senate ITSELF 10y falling to
Ia the least notice OF the gravest charges
a.-7iDs,. its own members when they have
become su, ,iects Of universal conversation,
contributes nl, re than II other influences 10
create such ilupr, 'ssions? The cases Of both
the Kansas Senate rs just now afford a very
pointed illustration.
Senator Caldwell, III aoUgh openly char
ged in the Kansas press "liA having OBJ
tanned his seat uhr0Ugn tie purchase Of
seventeen votes f0r certain eN&v! sums OF
10 .leT, sits quietly n 10. No senator re
yards the matter rs Affecting tie honor OF
the body so Tar as 20 cali even Tor mention
on the 1lo0r. Eir. Caldwell himself does
not regard il Of sufficient consequences 10
demand notice from him. h's GeHdS, or
at least some of them, go far n ON ceiyl. Z
that the charges are vel tOun led, admit
them to be true in substance, kut excuse
them upon the ground that hans, IS poliJlcs
have become 50 corrupt that the lie. 5lsiagUre
is netting more than an OlNn .NaIke''
where the senatorship is sold 80 tie gliesJ
bidder. In this case they further cam
that certain men, wishing to defeat ali me
coy1upt rings, ia the interest Of the honGA
people Of the State, dubbed together and
bought the place for Dir. Caldwell.
"rhe other Senator, Mr.. PomerOy, has
often been charged with attempting to sell
lis vote on impeachment, and now eX-Sen--
ator Ross gives what he asserts is the true
history Of The transaction, which does not
differ in substance from what has long
been current here. Mr.. Ross makes other
aud equally grave charges Of the most Spe-
cific character, aud yet Mr.. Pomeroy does
not regard them of the least consequence,
nor does any Senator intimate that the
honor Of the Senate is in any degree CON-
promised. ,..,
STTntl Senators exhibit some little sensi-
tiveDess regarding the purity Of their body,
tbey must not wonderif the people continue
exceedingly suspicious"
1t should be borne in mind that Kansas is
a Radical State, the refuge of broken down
politicians from other Safes, and Of adveI-
turers from the New England States, and
then the reader will not be surprised that
kansas politics have become SO corrupt
that the Legislature is nothing more than
an open market" What a commentary on
Radical politics!
