General seweIi,s Election.

Let us not rail against the formalities
at Trenton yesterday, by which General
Sewell receives the formal certificate of
his election as Senator. Let us not blame
the members of the Legislature. They
simply did what they were pledged to do
before they were elected. The choice of
General Sewell was not really made yes
tercay. 1t was made last November,
blindly and f~atuously by the voters of the
State. They were fully warned as to
what a Republican victory meant. They
have no right to complain of the realiza-
ton of the prophecies.
General Sewell will be a g~entlemanly
and digniied representative of the State
at Trenton. So far as department is con-
cerned, he will represent the State with
credit. He will do honor too to its social
reputation.
As for politics, he does not matter much.
