member Of the Committee on judiciary
and on Rules. Senator Bennett aud
judge Camden are said to be tho most
industrious and effective members Of
the Senate. They are always at work;
never absent from their desks whom the

shirk duty or dodge vote. Politi.
clans here are Of opinion that the Sen.
ator from Lewis is 1.-THE coming man !"
and this end Of the State would readily
