OUR SENATOR,

Editor Of the Democrat Il read with pleasure
YOUR editorial OF Friday morning on the sub
isot OF the choice OF an United States Sena-
tor, but can not agree with you in your con-
oluson that we have no members OF the Leg
islatnre Tor persons elsewhere in the govern
mental oircle) who favor the choice of q
Radical. The wish is only father to the thought,
my dear cir ; but in timese like these Of ours we
must look facts in the face. There is 10 doubt
whatever that the very idea OF eleeting Radical
Senator ls utterly sbhorent to the people who put
our government in power, not only by votes bat
by force OF srms but we srs cursed with class OF
politicians who have no earthly regard for the
wishes of the people one moment after they are
chosen by them tor places either of honor or
profit.
1 tell you now that so-called wise and sagaci-
Gus leaders hav been favoring the election OF a
Radical. or course neither you nor /, nor any Of
the mass OF SCUM from which we bubble forth
into print, can see anything but folly in such a
o'urss. and 1T can only be explained by illustrs-
ton:
When Was boy, my grandfather caught one
that was really worthless, and the following col
loq4y q!,ay,, snsaed: ned

Eyes, Massa, 1 did,
'Well, what on earth did you eteal 1t for2 It
could do you no good it is worthless to me
why steal it2 Why not have asked me for il If
you must have it2"
"Massa, must tell you the truth. / stole it
to keep my hand in" And thus it is with the
men who now advocate the election Of Radical.
With the oldest Of them politics has always been
. trade, and they never can regard it otherwise
No matter, then, how plain the road may be to
other men no matter how absurd or how de.
grading the idea Of q bargain, they must make
one II it IL only "to keep my hand in" And,
unfortunately for us, certain set Of younger
men n e are following in the footsteps Of their
'ilinstrious predecessors" colder colleagues

great body polite, and the witherine blow in.

yelops the fact that In December, 1865,
Madison Wells proposed to the Surveyor
Of the port Of New Orleans that there
was chance to make little money
and introduced to that officer two gen
tlemen, whose project for realizing
money was to import into the United
States at the port Of New Orleans q
large quantity Of silks and wines, which
through the connivance of the officer
approached. should pass without duty.
1t was proposed by these two friends
OF Wells that the Surveyor should put
$25. 900 into the venture, and, IL he did
not have the money. they had friend,
that is. Wells himself, who would ad-
vance that amount. The officer not
only declined, but informed Secretary
MeCulloeh OF the proposed fraud. Here
the matter was dropped. This officer
shortly after resigned, and when the
son of Madison Wells, Thos. III. Wells.
Naval Officer; Parker, Surveyor. and
Kellogg, Collector Of Customs, had the
wines brought in. the Department hav-
ing been advised, as above stated, seized
and condemned the entire lot. It is the
suit over the lewiston of the sums al
lowed for such seizure that developed
the facts above stated.
The Capital this morninglprinted the
following significant paragraph, double
loaded. 1--WE have private advioes to
the effect that the movement in favor
of Blackburn, of Kentucky, for Speaker,
has assumed large proportions. While
he is sustained by the tilibustering ele.
ment of the late House, he is securing
the solid South, which is sick of the
thimble-rigging bargain that made
Hayes President. This movement cans
mischief to the bargain. BUELL..

BosToN, April 4.-The New England Confer
enoe OF the Methodist Church opened to-day.
One hundred and eleven of 245 members were
present.
Resolutions on the Southern question were
presented by the Rev. w. T Mailien. D. D., OF
Boston, and upon being read were received with
great applause and by vote OF the conference
we're referred to special committee OF FIVE. to
be appointed By the chair.
The preamble to the resolutions reviews the
bighting effects OF slavery, and the two pal res.
Ulutions are i'm substance as follows.
Reso5ped, That we are alarmed and filed with
apprehension for the future, when we eontem-
plate the practical sale Of one OF the great polit
cal parties OF the republic by two politicians OF
that party who have held, and now hold, very in
innate relations TO the President, thus saerl-
6ong principle and party and righteousness for
the sake OF temporary success.
Resolued. That We protest most earnestly
against the action Of the new Administration in
making terms with the chief of the Kukux. the
instigator Of the Hamburg massacre, N. q. But
Ter, aud still more earnestly do we protest against
the official recognition by the Administration Of
that arch enemy of the republic, who long since
ought to have been hung for treason Wade
Hampton, OF South Carolina, and who now. by
threats and intimidation, under the very roof OF
the White House, as well ss on railroad platforms
and in other public places. defies the power OF
the government and bullies the President into
compliance with his traitorous and wicked usnrpa
tiDns.
