THE SENATORIAL SUCCESSION.


In our issue of last week we said we
would like to see Ex-Governor Isbam G..
Harris elected to the United States
Senate. We did not mean by that article
to disparage the claims Of any one, nor
did we presume to speak for the county, or
for any one else but ourselves. Yet We
have no doubt that many citizens in Obion,
as well as ali over the State, concur with
us.
We know, however, that some of our
citizens of Obion favor the claims of Col.
John II. Savage, and prefer him to any one
yet mentioned as aspiring to Senatorial
honors.
Lynchburg Sentinel.
The indications are that there will be
lively times in the Legislature when it
comes to select BrownlOw's successor, there
being an aspirant for about every three
members of that body; aud if our cOntem-
poraries could each have their
way there would be hardly a man of any
political prominence left in the State, as
all would be sent to Washington. There
can be but one selected, however, and it
matters but little to the people Of this sec
ton who the man is or from what part of
the State he halls, so he is man fit for the
position.

special to the Chicaeo Times.

There are uneTing indications that the
projectors of the various canal projects, and
other internal improvement schemes, con-
template a combined attack on The treasury
during the coming session Of Congress.
Possibly, TO make assurance doubly sure,
they may unite with railway, Pacific Mail,
and eotton-tax Hobbies. A prominent Re-
publican official remarked, the other day,
that Congress would drain the treasury this
season, and that every appropriation asked,
for no matter what purpose, would be
made. This prediction may or may not be
verified, but it is a fact that the members
of the third house are in unusually good
spirits, and do not hesitate to say that there
are ''bushels of money" in prospective.

The Scissors Editor.

Some people estimate the ability
of a newspaper and the talent of its
editor by the quantity of original
matter. 1t is comparatively an easy
task for trothy writer to pour out
daily column of words-words upon
any and all subjects. His ideas may
flow in one week, washy, everlasting
flood, and the command of his lang
uage may enable him to string them
together like lunches of onions, and
yet his paper may be meagre and
poor concern. Indeed the mere
writing part of editing a paper is but
a small portion Of the work. The
care, the time spent in selecting, is
far more important, and the tact of
good editor is better shown by his
selections than anything else /; and
that, we know, is half the battle.
But, as we have said, an editor oug ght
to be estimated, and his )abors under
stood and appreciated by the gener-
al conduct of his paper-its tone, its
uniform, consistent course, its aims,
its management, its dignity, and it's
propriety. To preserve these as
they should be preserved is enough
to occupy fully the time and attention
of any man. If to this be added the
general supervision of the newspa-
per establishment, which most edi-
tors have to encounter, the wonder
is how they find time to write at all.

A most startling chapter In crime
is brought to light on the Pacific
Coast. A Mr.. Dracott, through the
Vaccinations of his wife and her
paramour, was adjudged insane and
confined in the asylum. The guilty
parties were then married, the wife
getting control and possession of the
property of her wrongfully incarcer-
ated husband, amounting to about
$s5, 900, MIR. Dracott spent twelve
years of life in the asylum before he
gained his freedom. Meanwhile his
wife and parameur came to Iowa and
settled ON valuable farm near Iowa
City. The Press says: che was tall,
dignifed, elderly man, member of
the Presbyterian church, an Odd
Fellow, and bore himself with that
urbsne department which sustains
the dignity of age" He was finally
suspected from the fact of his receiv.
ing large sums Of money in a round.
about way, and, the fact coming to
his knowledge, he mysteriously dis
appeared. He was arrested, some
days since, in Oregon. The guilty
wife was also found in Nebraska City,
and has been locked up to await
Judicial investigation.
