SENATOR HERMAN, OF NEW YORK.

SENATOR HERMAN, OF NEW YORK. F.
The New York Tribune, Independent says:
"Mr. X ernan will be in every way a reputa-
pie senator: he Il Is man Of unq1estioned
He is incorruptible and uuaSsailed. His reli-
gion was a serious disadvantage to him when
he was a candidate for governor in 1872. But
the most devoted Olcstant viii scarcely be
ready 10 deny that Mr.. Kernan's faith is bet
ter tnan no faith at all, and that has been the
sole religious tendency of too many of our
senator's. Mr.. Kernans election is Governor
Tiden's triumph. Thus far he mas carried all
the points with which he began his Albany
campaign. More than ever IL begins to look
70 his Democratic admirers as IL he were the
man of uestiny.'
SENATOR M'DONALD, OF INDIANA.
Mr. Joseph Z. M'DonalJ, lust elected Unit
specimen of what is called self-made
man" That is TO say, he commenced
life as a shoemaker, in Lafayette, In
diana. He then studied law and entered
politics, and was elected to gresS at the age
of twenty-eight. Since that Uime-he is now
in his tfty-,ourth year-he has held many
torney-general of the state from. 1851 to 1853.
He has been for some time chairman OF the
Democratic State central committee of lDdi-
ana. He is considered to be a man of ability,
aud his integrity has never been impeached.
He is the most determined and uncompro-
missing hard-money man in the State.
SENATOR WALLACE, PENNSYLVANIA.
Mr. Wallace, on Wednesday elected United
States senator by the democrats of the Penn
sylvania legislature, was, like Mr.. M'Dnnald,
chairman OF the state central committee of
his State In that capacity he displayed much
tact, and seems to have made himself very
popular with the party. He is recognized as
a man of ability, but is not the peer of Buck
aleW or Black and other distinguished Penn
sylvania Democrats, whose reputation is ma
tional. On the great questions of military in
reference in civil affairs, and others of a kin
dred character, he is, of course, entirely
sound; but it is TO be regretted that he is
tainted with the fallacy of protection"
SENATOR COCKRELL, OF MISSOURI.
The St.sLouis Times says that 1--WE have in
General CockreL a clear-sighted, progressive
and honest young statesman of eminent ablli-
ties, born, reared and educated upon our
western prairies, identified in sentiment, edu-
cation and feeling with the young and vigor-
Gus west, thoroughly understanding and ap-
preciating the wants and needs of its enter.
prising and expanding population, possessing
the confidence and affections of iLs people,
and going forward with it TO the complete full
fllment of all that the future has in store.
Such man, we repeat, the senatorial caucus
has given us in General COckrell. OF his per-
sOnal history it is needless TO say much, 1t is
already familiar to every Missourian, and in
deed to the country at large. His military ca
reer was one of exceptional distinction. En-
Jering the army with General Price, he soon
became famous as the leader OF The MISSOURI
brigade, snd upon many hard fought field
maintained the honor and herolSm OF his
state. At Pea Ridge, CorinJh, Nicksburg,
Fort Gibson, Dalton, Resaca, kenesaw Noun
tain and Franklin, his conspicuous vAlOr and
admirable leadership won for him the ap-
proVal of his commander and the unbounded
enthusiasm of his soldiers. The depth and
strength of their devotion is now shown in
the universal Iejoicings with which they hail
his election. When the war was over
General Cockrell came home, counselng
moderation and peace, and addressing him.
self to the task of healing the wounds in
fiicted by the war. He has been as conspicu

right man, as he was noted in war as a SOL
dier. Possessing the unlimited confidence
and respect of his own people, he has never

the regard of all who have been brought in
contact with him. \ lawyer of eminent
ability, clear forclble and argumtentatiye
man, he will make senator of whom Mis-
souri will have reason to be proud.

now at outs with the administration on the
Louisiana outrage.
SENATOR BAYARD, OF DELAWARE,
who has for six wears occupied most credita-
ed by the legislature Of Delaware. His
recent very able speech condemnatOry of
the Grant outrage IN Louisiana, still before
the country, tells what he is and what may be
expected OF him in the future. A man of
ability, a thorough Democrat, dignified, re-
served and thoughtful, the people of the Union
look to him confidently as TO one whom they
can trust.
SENATOR CHRISTIANCY, OF MICHIGAN.
The telegraph brings Us the intelligence of
the election Of fudge ChrIstianCY as The result
of the coalition Of the Democratic members
OF the legislature with the anti-Chandler Re
pubhcans. This Is certainly good DeWs from
an unexpected quarter. We don't know any
man in congress whom we would more will
ingly see retired than BlOOd-letting Chandler,
one OF the most fanatical and bitter OF the
enemies OF the south, a man vino combines
the most Objectionable habits with the most
discreditable ignorance, obtuseness and dog
matte stupidity Beast Butler gone and
