Senator Dubois has taken the oath
and his seat in the senate. The papers
in the Claggett contest have been refer
red to the Committee on Elections and
privileges, which will doubtless report
adversely TO Clagett in due time. Clag-
gett, however, will get years salary
and mileage both ways from the mere
fact of being a contestant for a seau in
the senate. What pity the legislature
didn't elect some more senatorial aspi-
rants and give them all a chance with
the other patriots at the popular pas
time of having whack at our beloved
Uncle S'muel's treasury. The govern
ment is rich and can afford it, and il
doesn't make any difference to these
gentry that all it's wealth must be faken
frem the people by taxation.
