a correspondent, writing from the
east, thus speaks of The HERALD:
Your paper comes to me a Ia mode.
When | first beheld its new dress,
thought, "Why, dear old HERALD, /
hardly know your The bright, new
and smiling faces of the types were full
of intelligence and health and yigor. |
| often wondered how the old types
lived so long under such usage as we
typos would subject them. Long
years Of toll had deprived them some
what of their mental strength and of
late years they were weak-minded and
showed good deal of contrary nature
and no wonder, for their heads were
worn almost To their shoulders and they
had scarce strength TO remain ON their
feet. The dress of THE HERALD is of
the modern progressive style-neat and
attractive As printer who mourns
the transit of those historical leaden re-
mains into the typographical heH. Iwish
YOU hearty success. May you be al

The Senatorial Situation.

The Senatorial vacancy to be filed
is now the chief political event of the
near future and fraught with interest
both to the state and the nation. II
will doubtless absorb the attention of the
legislature, until settled, to the exclu-
sion of matters legislative. That a
multiplicity Of candidates viii be
brought forward we doubt not. 1t
would be a queer Senatorial campaign
ii this feature were left out 1t is not
known definitely at this time what can
didates are i'm the field, We are in
doubts as TO Mr.. Keye's candidacy.
Having been on trial, so to speak, be-
fore the present legislature and not
having the necessary following to elect
him to the Senate. it may be that he
will not again enter the field. If he
should, the reasons before urged in his
favor would be potent now, although
the conditions would be somewhat diff
ferent and incline some who espoused
his cause then, TO give the priority OF
favor to another in this emergency.
If Mr.. Hazelton should develop into 4
candidate through the demands of his
friends, he will undoubtedly have, as he
now has, the firm, united endorsement
of the Third district which he has repre-
scented so ably in Congress under the
adverse surroundings OF Democratic SUI
premacy. He has constantly increased
in favor since he began his public ca
reer, and in his large Legislative expert
ence has amply proven that he possesses
the qualifications for the highest legis-
latiye office. In the words of the late
Senator Carpenter in presenting friend
for admission to the Supreme Court,
che is not only qualified under the rule
but far beyond it," A man of indolni-
table energy, of fine personal traits Of
character, broad and catholic in thought,
of wide experience, and withal an able
debater and speaker, he would fifty fill
the chair of state that is now without
an occupant.
Besides, it is due this portion of the
state that the Senatorship be given it,
With its clean record rs a Republican
section, its increased population and
wealth, il has never been recognized in
this respect; although it has cordially
supported heretofore the candidates for
this position who have been presented
from other portions of the state.
1t would be a simple act of justice for
the Republicans of the Legislature TO re-
cognize this portion of the state in select
ing man for the Senate and Mr. Hazel
ton as fitting representative Of it.
If the choice should fall upon Nj.
Cameron, the state will secure an in
dustrous worker IN the Senate and Il
man of unimpeachable character. He
has served full term, and served ably.
But he is not the first choice of this
district, from what we can gather of the
feelings Of its Legislators and leading
citizens. nor of some other portions If
the state.

He had
ANOTHER REGULARITY
less known to the public but which
constituted one of the greatest ele-
ments in his success as i lawyer,
and that was his skill in cross
examination Of witnesses. Lord
Brougham's cross-examination of
the Italian witness in the house of
lords upon the trial of Queen
Caroline has always been regarded
as one Of the greatest enterprises in
the history of English state trials,
but am quite sure that | have
witnessed an instance of the same
kind upon the Gilman trial in this
district for the treasury robbery in
which, for two days, Senator Car
penter conducted the cross-examin-
alton Of an accomplice used as
witness by the government. The
wonderful fertility of Interrogation,
that was baffled by no evasion, and
the patience with which he listened
to tedious details and untitled them
by dextrous turns Of expression,
and quick and unexpected ques-
tons presented his wonderful skill
and resources in a way which
have never seen approached. In
two other instances | have known
him, by the mere force of probing
the conscience and throwing the
witnesses off their guard, to trace
the crimes Of forgery and perjury
to the witnesses themselves in SO
clear manner as to end the prose
cutions and save his clients. /
need not refer to his brilliant career
in the senate. That much is record
ed, and history will preserve it.
Although engaged as extensively
as any of his brother senator's in
the debates and discussions Of that
high assembly, no harshness was
mingled with his eloquence, nor
has he left the sting ofbitter invec-
tive to rankle in a single bosom.
His generous nature and liberal
hand made all who knew him
friends, and all who were intimate
with him loved him. But. as |
have already observed, do not
design to speak of his intellectual
qualities or to enlarge upon his
professional career. That duty will
be performed by others on an oc-
casion more suited to the subject
than the present. We have come
together to express our love. We
stand by his grave and drop the
tear of sensibility. The eloquent
lip is sealed in eternal silence the
dull, cold ear of death vibrates not
to our ahectionate solicitude. With
reverent care and with tears and
prayers we resign him to the Mer-
ciful Father of us all.
