The recent Republican triumph In

The Augusta correspondent Of The
Eastern Argus writes as follows Of the
Oxford Senators:
Hon Euoeh Foster. Jr.. Of Oxford
County. is quite an orator 10 bis way.
He has rather al angular appearance.
and his voice has rather harsh sound.
but he never speaks without hs has
something TO say. and bis remarks have
4 tinge OF sound common sense. which
makes them attractive aud effective.
Hon John r. Ssssey OF Oxford county.
Is probably the most eloquent orator In
the Senate. lie has had considerable
legislative experience. knows The lbs
and outs OF The business. and keeps
keen walchfulness over all important
transactions. and endeavors 10 act under.
standingly upon all matters. lie possess
es somewhat sonorous voice. fluent
speech and forcible manner OF delivery.
lie does not make long speeches, but
makes himself clearly understood. lie
and Mr.. Foster lead the Conservative
element 10 the Senate. aud have O way
OF inquiriug into the why's and wheretores
Of things. which not unfrequently puts
very different aspect upon measures
which upon the face were fair and beau
liful rs u day In June.
