The New Connecticut Senator.

Hon. James Il. English, recently APP
pointed Senator in Congress, to sue
coed Hon. o. S. Ferry, deceased, was
born in the city of New Haven in the
the year 1872, and is consequently 90
years of age. AN exchange says:
In his youth he was apprenticed to
the carpenter trade, and worked with
such industry rs TO become master
builder before reaching his majority.
Some years after he engaged in the
lumber trade, and later still in other
mercantile pursuits, by which no real
lied a'large fortune. His entry into
politics was made in 1855, when lac was
elected u member to the Lower House
of the Legislature. The year succeed
ing he was sent to the Senate, where
he declined to- serye1lnore than sim
gle term. In 1860 lie became the DEM
ocratic candidate. for Lieutenant Gov
ernor, and being defeated for thas po-
sition he, the year following, was elect
ed to Congress from the Second district,
serving two terms. In Congress he
was known as u "war Democrat
He voted for the abolition of slavery
In the District Of Columbia, and stead.
lily supported every measure that look.
ed to the suppression OF the rebellion
and the restoration of the Union. In
1865 he was defeated by General Haw.
10y for Governor, but was SUGGEST ul In
1861, and again in 1868 against Mar
shall JEWELL by whom, however, he
was beaten in 1869. In April, 1870, he
was once more elected Governor, and
in 1871 Jewell once more defeated him.
Mr.. English was a candidate for Con-
gress in his old district at the spring
election of 1873, when Mr.. Kellogg
was returned by q small majority.
Since then he has taken a compare
lively inactive part Ia political affairs.
Mr.. English Is one of the wealthiest
and one OF the most liberal men In
Connecticut, and commands the en-.
tire respect ofall parties.

In our capacity MS public Journalists
and rs the exponent OF the thonght-
ful sentiment of our people we spoke
candidly and fairly of the work Of the
Convention as II was progressing, ~
becomes ls In the performance OF our
high trust we Expressed our peculiar
views and opposed ut times some OF
the measures OF the Convention, wish
Ing, II possible, to elect what we CON
sldered to he necessary changes, but
yet, foiled or successful, we have not
viciously and stubbornly failed 10 re-
cognize or appreciate the imperative
necessity of mutual concession and q
satisfactory reconciliation of diverse
views and opposing interests, which
must unavoidably arise in so expan-
slye territory as ours. When we
looked TO these things, and
after n calm, dispassionate review
of the work of the Convention,
felt ourselves wildly impressed with
the importance OF the success Of the
new instrument and the danger that
might be wrought by It's defeat, we en-
deavored to rise above local preju-
dices and local surroundings, and to
advocate the true Interests Of the @h0lc
STATE, and not OF Northern Texas
alone. We have now, as we had when
they We're being adopted, objections to
certain articles of the Constitution, but
believing that If these objections haye
Il tangible foundation, that they may
he remedied by the sound policy and
discretion Of after years and future ex-
perience, we have ceased grumblipg
ana now propose to weld our influence
In this State for the new Constitution.
The Telegraph would do well to shift
It's helm and fall into line where the
people, who appreciate its worth, must
feel that Il belongs. ",
