this respect Is his refusal 10 gush and

The Kind Of Senator They Send.

We hear with some interest that VIII
bur Fiske Sanders, esd, has been elected
senator of the United States by the
rump Republican Montana Legislature.
This election is the result of sharp
practice and breach of faith, which en-
abies the Republican lieutenant governor
to control the Senate which is equally
divided between the parties, and which
the Democratic half had the normal
power TO paralyze by refusing to answer
to the roll call. The presiding officer,
nevertheless, formed a quorum and put
the machine in motion, along with IA
Republican House, which was made by
excluding the Silver Bow Democrats.
Wilbur Fisk Sanders is the proper pro-
duct Of this congenial cohabitation.
Once upon time long ago, Mr.. San
ders practised law along with his uncle,
at Akron, Ohio, under the name and
style of Edgerton d Sanders. In 1861
mercantile firm of this city had occa-
sion to collect IA draft from a customer
IN that viciaage, and handed it to their
attorney here. He consulted the direc-
tory of Akron lawyers and selected Ed
gerton 4 Sanders, because Mr.. Ed
gerton was or had been a member of
Congress. The receipt of the claim was
acknowledged by Sanders, who reported
3 that be had brought suit, and that the
defendant had taken a stay of judgment.
AS nothing more could be got out of
Edgerton 4 Sanders, after a couple of
years the defendant himself was writ
ten to, who replied that he had long be.
fore paid the money to Sanders without
suit.
The claim was now sent to r, O.
Hammond, esq, Of Akron, who re-
ported that Edgerton had been an.
pointed chief justice of Idaho territory
BY discriminating president, and that
be and his nephew Sanders were going
TO start out in few weeks over the
three thousand miles of interyen-
Ing plain. Both were deeply in debt
and without property; Sanders, how
eyer, promised him, upon his
WORD and honor as man aud brother
that he would pay him the amount
which he had collected, before he left
But he started away within forty-eigbt
hours without beat Of drum; and got
such start of the sheriff, who followed
TO arrest him on warrant for forgery,
taken out In another case, that he es-
capped TO the land whence he now seeks
70 emerge as full-blown Republican
senator.
II may not, however, be safe for him
20 seek TO take his seat at Washington.
