Senator Window.
At recent meeting Of the Mime
sofa State Republican association Of
Washington it was resolved that "Sen-
ator Windows unblemished character
as a. christian gentleman, and as a
friend to every good cause, must com.
mend him to the citizens of the State
he has 50 ably represented, aod we
confidently trust that the wisdom of
ar Legislature will secure, by his re-
election, his services in the Senate for
years t. come."
Further ana stronger proof Of the
high estimation in which he is held in
Washington is found in fact of bis ap~
pointment to the craftsmanship of the
Senate Committee on appropriations.
1t is the most important position to
which any Senator or Representative
from Minnesota has ever been assigned.
It is gratifying to our State pride and
is Of sreat advantage to the material
interests OF the State to have men who.
after being we'll tried, command inau
enti.l positions and the hi CHEST esteem.
There is, probably little or no doubt
about Mr.. Windom's reelection. We
scarcely think that our Legislature
will do SO foolish thing as to entire.
ly disregard the public wish and the
general jud cement as to what is best
for tie Safe. Mr.. Window is, in no
sense, blind p'rtisan but is thorough
ly grounded in Republican principles
aud tauhfu! representative of the
most enlightened sentiment of the
party. These are trying and critical
times. Many men loose sight of priu-
c'p!c and are s~aycd by personal or
local prciudic.s. 1t would be. triAing
to experiment with new and untried
men at such a time.

Since Rev. Mr.. Hale stated that be
had talked with highly cultivated
American woman who did not know
the difference between q Senator and
Representative in Congress, instan-
ccs Of political ignorance are coming
to light. The Sunday Courier says
that graduate of FIRST. class Semina-
~ asked the editor Of that paper re.
Gently why they sent part of the Rep.
rcsentativcs to Washington and kept
the rest at the State House in Boston
OF still more recent date, We vouch for
these instances OF political wisdom {:
A gentleman of the head Of a large
institution, who resides out of the city,
was asked if be voted for Gov. Rice.
"No," he replied, 'but I should have
voted for him had I resided in the
city" Another gentlemen of reputed
intelligence said he voted against
Banks, but be forget the name Of the
man he did vote for. Such is fame
Mr.. Frothingham And We have q
reading and writing clause in force !!
We mentioned a few weeks since
the departure Of the Ebert brothers
from this place for Texas This week
we are able to announce their return,
and they are about as thoroughly dis
gus.ed with that country Az men ever
get with place where they have the
ague shakes. They remained there
but few days, but in their brief visit
they learned that Minnesota with its
healthy climate and hoppers- vas in
every respect ahesd Of Texas with its
