Some Of our state papers are taking
a very heavy tilt at Senator Lamsr Cor
his vote to pension Grant and seat
Kellogg. They are disposed to be as
severe on him on these questions as
they were for his votes on the silver
bill, or his agency in procuring the
right sortof successor for Bruce. As
Governor Stone positively refuses to
call the legislature togetheg thai La.
mar may be instructed" out of his
seat, aud as it is evident that a man
has been found who agrees to take
Judge Georges place on the supreme
bench with the salary attaching), we
believe we have this opinion only to
exRregg on the subject: Mr.. Lamar
will be- his Os1 successor in the SEN
ate.
