eyes, dark hair falling in curls about
his nrek, > rathe. large, straight
nose, firm chin. handsome mouth,
ala II particularly distinguished air.
In fgct, he looks llRe a cavalier, who

a stranger Hs a chief, He Is su9h a
kHightly nharcter az would haze won
the heart Of Froissart or Confines,
and whom the troahadours OF old
Provence would have delighted to
sing.
Wnlthall'a career as s soldier was
brilliant. Beginning a Lieutenant

! Maior-Generalcy' every trial of
rourage and capacity proving the
opportunity for new laufels. He was
several times wounded, in one bat
tie three times, and neVer left Che
saddle untii the conflict was ended.
Ais handsome person, gay courage
aud constantly thoughtful considers
ton Of the comfort ana welfare of
his men, made him a great favnrite,
for they knew that they would have
10 fight hard, bat would be we'll cared
for. The humbIest private could 60
freely to him with hi8 troubles,
whether Of the camp or domestic,
and be SURE of kindness, sympathy
and help: and there il not To-day a
soldier who served under hinI who
toes rot hold Ain in atIectionate ana
nreHu regard.
His influence is absolute, not
only in politics, but in local business
and social affairs. and his popularity
is a sort Of personal attachment quite
remarkable. His npighhors are
rAthcrimpatient of any comparison OF
him with uomtemporaneous public ia
rorites. and on bis part, while he has
a proper degree Of nationai pride as
N American citizens, yet he ia intrn-
~ely local in his feeling; in fact, No
man is more derot4dIy Southern,
tn} it would be 8 hard and thank
e~s task to undertake to convince
lin that his own people were not the
best people in the world aud his own
friends not better than anybody eise's
friends. He has that charm OF
Alanupr, that magnetic quality

flee. Senator WHithaIl's mind Is vir-
lie, active, clear and sympatheticai;
3iis speeches are "iW&ys wei! chosen
pertinent and practical, accurate and
tuminoUa in statement, close in rea-
+nniHg candid IN temper, always well
nd often h&npily phrased, and carry
IL air Of earnest conviction aud con
-nipnti0us fairness. As q working
mun bis record is excellent; he never
uIiSSes a committee meeting, and per-
,orms his allotted tasks as scruplous-
Y and faithfully as he was won't to
10 the work Of his law Office.
He is popular with his colleagues,
who are always glad to obiige him,
~ Il lawyer he was . close student
md Successful practitioner. The
.unly civil Office he ever held before he
uttered the Senate was that Of Dis
Fict Attorney he was equally strong
before bench or jury was punctiltoua
in the observance Of the old time nice
Dropricties of the profession and en-
Dyed the advantage Ola perfect pub
.ic confidence in his integrity a.
a man and as an advocate. As a
politician, the Senator is conserya-
tive, cautious and conciIiatory, rather
than bold, and IL the sort Of a man
hat could be better relied upon to
1unpgea a revolution than to LEAD
u1ie. He has great respect for law
and the established order Of things.
Ne first came into the Senate by APP
continent, to fill the vacancy made
ty the accession Of Lamar as Secre-
AIRY Of the Interior to the Supreme
! SQUIRT bench. The wisdom of the Gov
ernor's choice vas ratified by a unani,
nous electionby the Legislature, in
obedience to theWish Of the people,
expressed withoutanv dissent in any
possible manner, and it Is safe to say
thathe wilIstay until he goes out on
his OwH mOtion.-WashiAgtOn Cor.
