Three New Senators.

Both parties are now enjoying an oppor-
tunity to illustrate their ideas of civil sor-
vice reform i'm the election of three new
Senators in Congress.
The Connecticut Democrats have just
elected WILLIAM II. BARNUM. The advo-
cate Of high protective tariff the free
trade doctrines OF the party could not have
led to his selection. For many years he
has pretended TO hold seat in the House,
but has been chiefly conspicuous for being
absent pretty much all the time. Indeed,
we do not remember anything of BARNUM's
career in Congress except his pocketing
the back pay. How. then, did he become
Senator? The answer Is not difficult.
Mr.. BARNUM is rich. He said he carried
the Legislature two years ago by his
money, and he insisted that he was
wronged out OF the Senatoisbip then by
the election of Mr.. EATON. He asserted
that in the campaign this spring he spent
more money than any other man, and that
the large Democratic majority in the Leg
stature was owing to his expenditures;
and therefore he had the best possible
title to be made Senator. SO he got the
place. Money did it.
The Republicans have treated the cleo
ton Of BARsuM ms proof that Democratic
professions i'm favor of - reform in the civil
service are hollow and false. Very well;
they Will soon have a chance to show their
faith by their works. Ina couple of weeks
a Senator is to be chosen in New IIamp-
shire. The Republicans have decided
majority III the Legislature. The lead
ing candidate seems to BE- Mr.. T.. ii. Roll
LISs, who recently displayed his marvel
lous memory before the committee for In
vestigating BLAISE's bond troubles. Roll
Inns was in Congress when some of the
Pacific Railroad jobs were passed. He is a
sly, sharp politician, whose greasy fingers
have for years past had the handling OF
the wires and the funds in New Hampshire
campaigns. He now demands the Senator
ship as his reward and very likely he will
get IL. Yet II would disgrace New Hamp-
shire to confer such All honor upon n man
who does not possess n single statesmanlike
quality, and is distinguished only rs a lob
byist.
The Republicans of Rhode Island are also
soon TO elect a Senator in place of Henry
b. ANTHONY, who is drawing toward the
end of his third term. The recent and still
pending Investigations in the House have
demonstrated that the Office Of Congress
sional Printer has long been an Office Of
tmevery. Mr.. CLAPP, the head Of the bu-
reau, is casting about to save himself from
impeachment and indictment. All legisla-
ton in regard TO his Office has sprung from
a joint committee, whereof ANTHONY has
been Chairman and almost sole manager.
ANTHONY is secretive, suave, and supple
a sort of compound of JoE BAGsToCK. OILY
CANNON, and URIAn HEEP-sly while
handling jobs, urbane in department
among equals. and cringing to the dis
pensers of patronage. We shall watch
with interest 10 see il the civil service re-
form OF the Rhode Island Republicans is
the sort that wants Mr.. ANTHONY six years
longer in the Senate.

Whatever CASEY, PACKARD & Co. may say
about Major sEgLYE who Is giving his testimony
tefore the special committee appointed to look
into their donGs 10 Louisiana for the past few
years, it would he folly for them to pretend that
he is not most intimately acquainted with them
ana their trans actions that he Is not able to
afford the committee very essential asssi auce
IN arriving at the truth which they ere searching
after. In ls1i, we lad frequent occasion to refer
tn this same Major sEELYE. lie was one OF the
most conspicuous leaders IN the rascally politi-
cal cam paRn OF that year. and his outrageous
usurpation OF arbitrary powers against the peo-
pie Of Louisiana WAS only excelled by that Of
his then superior oficer, Gen. L 5. GRANT,
against the same people. Major sEELYEs first
appearance at New Orleans was In the character
OF "a special detective of the Post Onice Depart
ment, and he seems TO have shown commend
able zeal In that capacity. More zeal than dis
erection, In fact, for he succeeded In catching
Postmaster LOWELL of New Orleans-then and
now one OF the most conspicuous leaders of tho
Republican party In Louisiana-in the very act ~
stealing from the United States Government. For
this impertinence Major sEELyE was promptly
dismissed from the Government service. while
LOWELL was permitted to settle his defalcation
Of many thousand dollars for trihing sum, and
continued to maintain high place among the
leaders Of his party. Major SEELYE found that
he had TO change mis- tactics. To retain the favor
OF the existing Administration 1t was necessary
TO league with thieves, Instead of pursuing
them; and Fastening to profit by his dearly ac-
qured experience, he was soon at work In north
ern Louisiana, with squadron Of cavalry at his
back, perpetrating the most barbarous acts
upon people who were suspected OF being OPP
posed to GRANTS pure and enlightened admin
stration the object being to create a reign OF
terror which would prevent Conservative voters
nom going to the polls. ii Major SEErYE will
only tell the committee all he knows about
Grantlsm IN Louisiana, he will prove AN inyalu'
able witness.

A gentleman Of Pennsylvania, of the
Liberal Republican persuasion, writes to us pro-
posing the following ticket:
For Ftsstisnt sAxuEL J. TLpES. Of New York.
For Ice-ffesideid ALLEN @. THURMAN. VI OHIO.
Either Mr.. fILpES or Mr.. THURMAN would
make a very good President, but we don't de-
sire to see their names together on the same
ticket as our correspondent advises. An inds-
pensable requisite Of the situation is that the
ticket of the Opposition party should be such as
to satisfy the old war feeling, SO that the men
who, from 1861 " 1866, fought to maintain the
unity OF the country, should feel no anxiety
about committing the Government to the can
didates proposed. To this end, II Mr. TILDES Is
nominated for President, there can he no more
suitable candidate for vice President than Gen,
JoHS NJ. PALMER OF Illinois and II MIR. THUR
NAN should be nominated, the best candidate
for vice-Presdent would DO Gen. BARTLETT OF
Nassach usetts.
