uiuuuii ueuiK ueiore ine senate, presaniea

formed the Senate that he waa taken by sur

best to read the same, but his legal nbllltlos

Tho contestant was certaluly inodost, for
he only claimed a "seootid class" seat in the
Stato Senato. To make his case stronger, ha
claimed tho seats of all tho Senator; ami It
Is evldeut tbnt If he uusots all throo tho

ability.
Tbe contestant la a gentleman of remarka
bly venerable aptmMnca and shows an ear-nosttief-s
of purpose consistent with his high
constitutional Idea of his claims. Am to per

vantage ner anv of the now Hilling Senators
aud as the world judges so often by appc.ir

The resolution passed with only two dis
