The Times New Orleans special, of the
10th, says: In the Republican Leeisla-
ture, to-day, John Ray was elected for
the vacancy in the United States Senate.
IN place of Kellogg, resigned, and late
acting Governor Pinchback is for the
long term. In the fusion body, ex.Gen.
W. L. MoMillan was elected for the
short term; A. H. @. Warmoth for the
long term. Pinchback and Warmoth
are worthy and appropriate contestants:
there IS nothing to choose between the
two. The only good man in the whole
lot Is John Ray. Congressman Sypher
was q candidate before the Republican
body. but his color did not suit, as was
also the case with Norton and one or
t"o other aspirants for senatorial honors
and emoiuments. The Times editorially
says: Yesterday, complication in the
the election OF two United States Sens-
tors. Late acting Governor Pinohback
and late Governor Warmoth are the per.
sons selected by the Kellogg and McEn.
cry Legislatures respectively. The pub.
lc careers OF both are known, and are
very bad. Pinchback is colored man,
and represents his class; is keen, unsoru-
pulous and ambitions; one OF the leaders
OF the colored race who has done mnch
to exotic suspicion and apprehension
with reference to its political action.
Warmoth is much the worse of the two:
for he has more education, experiences
aed ACQUIRED influence, but no more
conscience or appreciation of decent
public opinion. It will be huniliatipe
spectacle to see either Of them admittei
to the Senate OF the United States.
