1t is currently rumored that Warmoth,
believing that he stands no chance indi.
vidually, intends to back bingham
Lawrence, Esq, the gentleman who
championed the Levee Company SO earn
estly the other day, for Congress in the
coming election. We should think the
distressed failure of Mr.. Lawrence to Sc
| cure seat to which he was elected in the
last campaign would dampen his ardor
| considerably. In the event of Mr.. Law
| rence's election, those who vote for him
have small guarantee that he will make
| any strenuous effort to get his seat, for he
weakened soon in the action last time.
1t is pretty we'll settled that the indi-
viduals who will be most prominent in
the next Senatorial contest before the
Kellogg Legislature are Norton, E. E.,
the Assignee Universal, and Packard S.
B., otherwise and more financially yclept
'tBoss." Both these Radical functional

ability that seat in the Senate upon which
poor Pinchback was allowed to feast his
eyes, but which he is persistently refused
the pleasure of warming.
Though We are by no means prepared
to concede the possession by either of the
requisite talent to entitle him to place in
the Senate, yet we recognize the fact that
there are many men now there who are
less able, and who represent, perhaps, a
smaller constituency than would either Of
the aLove-named aspirants.
1t is difficult to predict the result of
the contest. Packard is the more adroit
politician and the most popular with
the whites and negroes of his party. He
is pugnacious, persistent and fertile in
resources, while his exchequer is by no
means empty. Norton has one, and only
one, powerful auxiliary-money. That
one word sums up his every reliance, and
there is q magic in it which has enabled
him to work miracles before, and he
confidently expects to achieve wonders
again by the same means. Indeed, as
it may be taken for granted that
Kellogg, by means of his Returning
Board, will stock the next Legislature to
suit himself, money will no doubt win the
fight, though we confidently believe the
victory will be barren one. Pinchback,
with his credentials, will be the lion in
the way of the successful candidate, and
if he stands firm it will be quite impos-
sible for any other man to be seated in his
place so long as the monstrous wrong is
continued of maintaining Kellogg in the
position which he has usurped.
With Norton and Pinchback in Wash
ington, contesting for the same seat, and
both having credentials from Kellogg's
Legislature, what spectacle would be
presented to wondering nation. Norton,
whose record as universal assignee is SO
black as to cause establishment that the
man dare live in community which
he has systematically outraged and plum
dered, and whose life-blood, vampire like,
he has drained remorselessly; Norton, the
supporter, defender and savior of Durell,
to whom he is indebted for his ILL.,
gotten gains and Pinchback, whose
record made even Norton, the reckless
demagogue, falter in his support.
There could be no more biting sarcasm
upon Republican rule in the South, than
the fact that two such beings can and prob
ably will, present themselves for admission
to the most august body IN this great
country.
