THE NEXT Ul S. SENATOR.
We haVe hitherto refrained from express-
ing any opinion regarding the merits of the
questiu I above suggested. . While in other
quarters apparently studied efforts were he-
tng‘ madegbef'ore and/during the recent can. ,
vasE'tb'cieate‘the impression that of cou’rée
Senator: Foster;would-be. re-elected, we
preferred to ignoreall discussion of the sub-
ject for the time, and first secure by united
efiort a decision of the people that a true
Union manand not . a Icopperhead should
represent them~ in the Senate. That decis-
ion stung 'bsengnade; it is now time’ toi
conlider the question referred to.
It is evident that the choice must fall upon
either Senator Foster, Gov. Buckingham or
Gen.'xFerry. The gentleman first named
has-already represented Connecticut two full
terms in that body—an honor which has sel-
dom been bestowed by our State on any of
her sons. He has the reputation of a re-
spectable and worthy, though not especially
eminent Senator. He is a refined and cour-
teous" gentleman. : He has no remarkable
qualifications for the position, and no posi~
tive objections ofa persoual nature can be
urgedvagainstqhimu The great argument re-
lied on for hislre~election is an appeal to our
State pride :to continue him there, because he
is president pro tom of. the Senate, assuming
that .a-.re-eleotion to the Senate would be
equivalent-to making him Vice President of
theUnited‘ Sthtes during the present presiden-
tial lean; andtheiimpression has been crea-
ted thst thus, in the event of- the President’s
death, he ould succe‘tg that office for the
remaind ‘ the term. at us examine this
assumption for a moment,
The law, asat present existing, provides
that inpase I“ [the death of both President
and Vice, President, the president pro tem of
the Senate shall, exercise the duties of that
oflice‘I’un'til a special election of President can
be had to'jill timeacamy, and no longer. But
who . will _:.be likely to be president pro
tem of the Senate after the 4th of, March
next? We certainly would not. disparage
Mr. Fosterlsclaims to. that position. But
the usageséof- the Senate do not favor his
prospects: The republican party ‘first had a
majority‘ofthe Senate in 1861, when the se.
ceding senators withdrew. The late Senator.
Foot ofoermout, than whom no man in
that bo'dy’was' more honored and respected:
both as a statesman and a presiding officer,
was then .chosen president pro item. for two
years, and was continued in that position for
that term Only. He was succeeded in 1863,
while. yetin the‘ Senate, by 'Mr. Clark of
New Hamshire, who also held the oflice for
two years only, though he is still a distin-
guished member of that body'. 'Then Sena-
tor Foster was chosen, also for the same pe-
riod. The choice was made without refer-
ence to the . contingency 'which afterward
happened, and which raised the position to
its present importance. Is it probable that a
re-election to that position would follow as a
matter of course under present circumstan-
ces, whenunder ordinary circmmstances it
cann‘otbe expected ‘2
Mr. Foster and Gov. Buckingham are both
residents of 'Norwich. The latter gentleman
has for eight. years filled the oflice of Gov-
ernor, and during the last trying five years
especially, by his prudence, judgment and
faithful devotion to~the interests of the State
and the Union, he has won the affectionate
regard of his contemporaries in, a manner
which histOry will not fail to record. He
would honorably and creditably represent
the State in the Senate; and yet, coming as
he does from the same locality with Mr.
Foster, and being without pro-eminent quali-
fications for that position, there is at pres-
ent little probability of his election. He has
faithfully served the State in the position be
has held; and no man for many years, has so _ ‘
often and in so marked a manner received
assurances of the gratitude and respect of
the people.
In expressing our preference for Gen. 0R.
RIS S. FERRY for the Senatorship, we mean
no disparagement of either of the other dis-
tinguished gentlemen named. Gen. FERRY’s
character, experience in public affairs, faith-
fulness to his .convictions of right and jus-
tice, and his eminent abilities are such, and
are known and acknowledged to be such
that it is no discredit to any man in Connec.y
ticut to be regarded as second to him in the
needed qualifications of a Senator. Stand-
ing as he does in the front rank of his profes-
sion, distinguished for his ability in debate,
and in the consideration of great public
questions no less' than for his fidelity to the
interests of freedom- and of equal justice
no man more truly reflects the sentiments of
a majority of the people of his native State ;
and we challenge contradiction when we as-
sert that no man in Connecticut can repre-
sent her in the Senate at once so ably and so
faithfully. - . '
It is a long time since this portion of the
State has been hOnored with the choice of a
U. S. Senator. It is longer since any man
has more honored our State in that capacity
than would GEN. FERRY. '
Since the above was written, the N. Y.
Zrz'bune of Ito-day (Monday), has come to
hand, and we call attention to the following
extract from its Washington correspond-
ence :— -
“The Senate. will no doubt-continue its ses-
sion some lifle‘time after the House shall
have taken itsrecess for the purpose of act-
ing upon Presidential appointments, and the
transaction -‘of executive business. The
status of theirpresiding Officer has already
become _a matter of examination by some of
the best legal minds of that body, in view of
the exigencies of ‘our- position. It seems to
be a settled question that a successor to Mr.
Foster must be chosen prior to the expira-
tion of his term as senator (which is on the
4th of March next) even though he should
be returned for .sixyears more by his State
Legislature abOut to convene- Mr. Foster
is by general consent one of the most accom-
plished presiding officers in»tlie Senate—a
thorough‘parliamentarian . and courteous
gentleman; yet as his official connection
with the Senate ceases on the 4th‘of March,
and he dues ,not ,retain his seat until again
sworn in, hepanuot, it is maintained, fill the
Vice-Presidcnt’sphair, except upon another
- and subsequent election by the Senate-—
These facts have led thus early to a canvass
ing of the question of his successor. There
seems to be a considerable unanimity in ac-
cording the osition‘to the west, and Messrs.
Trumbull; man, and Pomeroy would in
turn command considerable support, were
it ‘not for the fact that they are circumstanced
precisely as is Mr. Foster in regard to them-
piration of their Senatorial terms. Mr. Sher-
man has'been returned for six years from the
4th of March next; but that does not reach
the point'raiéed,‘ and 'sOm‘e Senator will be
selected whose present term will not expire
until after the expiration of the Presidency
of Mr. Johnson.”

WAsmNoTON, APRIL 2lst.-
DEAR GAME—Washingtonis beginning
to leaf-out. The trees are unfolding their
spring blossoms and the crowds of lobbyists
and visitors always thronging the Capitol are
beginning to leave also. We have had two
popular demonstrations and two sensations
for the week. The first, was rather 9. dodge
on the part of a few little more earnest John-
son‘m'en than those who helped to elect him
and didtheirutmost to excuse his inaugural
fault; ' A‘number of clerks got up the idea
of as soldiers’ and sailors’ endorsement of the
President, which was a good thing only the
“soldiers and {sailorsf’iwho took part in it
were tolo few t'or'do'jujsucc' to the claims of
these noble men, to whom the natiOn is for-
ever pledged.’ But the thing passed off to
:the entire acceptance of about everybody.
‘The President was most insufferably bored
by soine red-headed clerk who had written
a long speech and endeavored to commit it
to memory, with miserable success. But he
boggled through after about an hour, when
the President again refreshed us., The next
day the uegrOes took thematter of a parade in
handvand turned out to the number of nearly
20,000. “ Thick as blackberries," gives no
adequate idea of how copiously Ethiopia,
stretched forth her hand ’on this occasion,
which was, the anniversary of their Emanci-
pation in the District of Columbia.
Remembering as I do, when these poor
creatures usedto be marched through, this
city right by the Capitol and under the shad-
ow of its=flag,'chained together like oxen, to
the Richmond boat, the ceremonies and inci-
dents ioiihis‘great outpouring of negroe's,was
fraught with many serious reflections. How
the car- of. Omnipotencehas moved. forward
the past ten years! ' Does any'man, believe
now, that’it is to roll back? Such is not the
flat of the Almighty, if we may interpret His
unmistakable.providcnces. Weak and faint-
hearted man, may falter and fail and walk
backward, but the car of progress and J us-
tice rolls On and carries us with it whether
we will, or no. . . '
One marked feature 'of theentire perform-v
ance was the good order everywhere main-
tained. There was a cleanliness about the
garments, as well as a general gaudiness,‘
however tattered and low they 'might be,
that attracted attention. Their. Masonic,
Odd Fellow and Temperance Societies and
Sabbath and day schools were most credita-
bly arranged in line and added much to the
attractiveness of their display. They called
upon the President who again reiterated his
sacrifices in their interests and his continued
friendship for their class. They then march-
ed tO the Capitol and thence to the large
park in front of the residence‘of Secretary
Stanton where they were eloquently address-
ed by Senators Trumbull and Wilson, Gen.
Howard and a colored orator named Scott.
I observed Hon. J. (Ffl‘rumbullr of Stoning-
ton, on the platform with“ other celebrities
and it was hopedtfiat time: would be given
him to titilate thelAfric'an .rib,‘ with his irre-
sistible humor. [-3 ': ' .
The bannersspoke meet eloquentlyfof our
martyred President. In nearly all of them
—and there were spores if not hundreds-—
some word. or line, spoken or written by
him, was reproduced with wonderful tact
and ingenuity. Thousands crowded in
from the adjoining'districts of Maryland and
Virginia,rwhilc many came up' from Rich-
mond and from great distances to be present
and show their appreciation of the boon
of liberty.
it
Corpus act by the Senate with only four
copperheads with courage enough to oppose
it, is another augury of onward progress-
The Army Bill tags its slow length along in
the House. It has already been so loaded
with amendments that its author can scarce
recognize his child and its inevitable fate is
to be killed. B.

Our Steamboat.
As will be seen by advertisement, Mr:
White has placed the Steamer “ Neversink’
'on the Norwalk route, until the _ completion
a satisfactory steamboat communication
with New York. The Neversink is‘ said to
be a very swift boat, and, we hear, made her
first trip up, on Saturday, in two hours and
forty-seven minutes. She makes daily trips,
“through without stopping,” and We have no
doubt will be well supported. '

ANOTHER SUDDEN DEATn.—-'Mr. James
W. Hyatt, a well known and respected citi-
zen of this place, died very suddenly, on Sat-
urday night last. He had been at work as
usual during the day, but after returning to
his boarding place, corner of Merwin street
and West Avenue complained of feeling un-
well, and crossed the street to see Dr. Lyrics.
On his return he went to his room, and died
in a few minutes thereafter. Heart disease
is supposed to have been the cause of his
death. -

MILITARY.—We learn that the proposition
to assemble the entire Connecticut National

from Maj-Gen Russell. The New Haven

been Ordered to assemble in that city on that
day. Thc May parade, required by law,
will be by company, instead of Regimental

Of Nitro Glycerine. Oil, a new invention for
blasting purposes, took place on the 16th
inst., in San Francisco, Ca]. The effect was
terrible, about a dozen persons were instant-

We have also another from Aspiuwall.
The steamer European, while unloading-her

board which killed over fifty persons and
very seriously injured about thirty others.
After the first explosion a British steamer
made fast to her and towed her out into the
bay, Where another explosion occurred which
totally destroyed the vessel. On enquiry
she was found to have had 70 cases of the
~nitrO-glycerine aboard as freight. This is

ELECTRICITY IN, A COTTON MILL—The
Lowel, Mass, Owner of March 23 says : “It
is a general truth that friction developes
electricity, and most workmen know that
a machine belt at high speed by its friction
with the air is highly electrified. It has been
a common experiment for a workman to
light gas burners by holding one hand to a
fast going belt and the other to the open
burner.
strated in the Appleton Mills of this city on
Wednesday. A strong smell of fire being
noticed, the. premises were carefully searched
and a small quantity of cotton lint, inside a
belt casing was found on fire. The lint lay
upon a beam which was within four inches
of a belt some fifteen inches wide and mov-
ing some two hundred and twenty revolu-
tions a minute. .
bolt, the head of which was toward the belt.
From the belt was passing a stream of elec-
tric-sparks, which had set the cotton'ling on
fire.- After attending to this case, Mr. 'Mot-
ley, the agent, opened the casing‘of a~similar
belt in another mill. Thebcam in'this case
was fourteen inches from the belt, but the
streamof electric sparks was at once seen
jumping across the beam, although it had
not set fire to anything. Perhaps some of
the cases of fire from‘supposed Fspontaneous
combustion’ are due to electricity from ma-
chinery. The subject is an interesting one
for investigation, and 'a profitable one.”

UNITED STATEs SENATOR-eh seems to be
conceded quite generally that the incoming
Legislature will re-elect the Hon. Lafayette
S. Foster, of Norwich, as United States Sen-
ator. Mr. Foster has occupied the' position
for. twelve years, andfalthough very conser-
vative) generally acceptably to the people of
the State. .It ispossible, however that there
maybe a change of men, notwithstanding
Mr. F. is at present president pro tom of the
Senate. Should such a' thing be contempla-
‘ted, Fairfield Co. will put in her claim for
the Western part - f the State in behalf of
General Orris S. Ferry, of 'Norwaik, whose
abilities as a legislator, and whose services
to his country during the war, entitle him
to the most prominent position Connecticut
can confer upon anyof her citizens; As a
debator, an orator, and talents peculiarly fit-
ted for the place, he stands unrivalled in the
State. Gen. Ferry was a Member of Con-
gress in the most trying times'of the late re-
bellion, when timid men run rampant for
compromise, and showed himself an inde-
pendent, honest, fearless patriot, both by his
speeches and votes, and Fairfield Co. hereby
gives notice that should it be thought best to
retain the present- incumbe'nt at this time,
she will consider herselfias having a still
stronger claim two years hence, when a sue:
cessor is elected to Senator Dixon. The
Western part of the State should not be
wholly overlooked, which she has seemed to

She gave her trunk to ithe eXpressman 'at

she saw itplaced on board the cars for New

en toithe-groyvth-of the charming little rural “city“,
ofWinnipank'. The stone‘ buildingof the “New'
Mills" is one of the finest and most complete facto-
ry edifices in the State. Nearly a dozen new dwell-
ings have been erected in the immediate vicinity of
the Mllls'for the occcupancy of employees, and now
we hear that two new stores are about being cou-
structed,—one near the Mill, by Mr. OEutt, on land
belonging to the estate of John Aiken, opposite the
brick School House, and the other by Mr. Wm. Lyrics
on a lot above the residence of Morgan Smith, Esq.
on the road to Wilton. It is also in contemplation
to do away with the “old brick School House,“ and
to erect a new and more spacious School edifice on
some other location. Next we shall bear. the Dan-'
bury Railroad will be running a “dummy”, between
Winnipank and the Bridge, starting ’ at the new
Mills, and running every/hour or so, or else, what is
still better, a Horse Railway, for .the public- accom-
