WILMINGTON, X. C, TfESDAI MOBMX., JAX. 30, lSH. THE HEW SENATORS l ltOM IL LINOIS AX I) Ci EOKGI . The JorENAL lias congratulated the country on the defeat of Lo gan. The following sketch of his successor may be found of inter- ' '"est. -? : Judge Davis was born in Cecil county, Md. March 9, 1815; was il educated at Kenyon Collegc,Ohio; 9tudied law. with Judge Bishop in Lenox, Mass., and in the law . , school at New Haven,' Conn. In 183G, he settled at Blooniington, 11L, where he continues to reside, tie waa elected to tho lower house of the Illinois Legislature 1814 '45; to tlie constitutional conven tion which framed a new constitu ,. tion for the State in 1847; was elected judge of the eighth judi cial circuit of Illinois in 1 848, was . re-elected in 1855, and- again in ' 1861. "While serving, this last term he was appointed by Presi dent Lincoln, who was a warm personal friend, an associate jus tice of the Supremo Court of the United States. , He was nomina- ted by the labor reform party in 1872 as a candidate for the Presi dency. J)uring the same canvasi -v Judge Davis was prominently mentioned for the Democratic nomination, but, that honor hav ing been bestowed on Mr. Gree ley, Judge " Davis declined ' the nomination of the labor reformers.' v Before the meeting of the Si Louis -convention his name was again I mentioned in connection with tho Democratic nominati6n, . but when tho convention mot it ' waiascertainod ; that the. con test was between GoveftiorB Tilden and Hendricks, and hence there was no opportunity to put Judge fc Davis forward. "When appointed to the Supremo , Court bench Judge Davis was amoderate Re publican, but for several years it is understood his political sympa thies have been with the Demo cratic element of the country. ' The new Senator from Georgia the comet-like Ben Hill is one of the best known of Southern public men. , Mr. Hill was born in Jasper county, Ga., September 14, 1823,'. graduated at the Uni edty of Georgia in 1844, and at- j tained great eminence in his pro I V ' fes8ioni in 1847he was elected to the Legislature, and ijjjl855 was' defeated for Congress as the can didate of the Know-nothng party; in 1857 ho was was run without success , by the same party for Governor. 'Ifl 18G0" ho' was" an elector at largo on the Bell and " Everett ticket, and made a great reputation as an orator and skil' ful political debater. He was a member of tho .Georgia secession convention in 18G2, where he was an earnest Union man untU the ordinance of secession was passed, after which he signed, the brdi-, nance and cast his fortunes with his people! Ho was elected to the provisional Confederate Con ' gress, and afterwards to the Con federate Senate, where he served to the close of tho war. . Ho was arrested in 18G5 . anil confined in Fort Lafayctto for several months. Mr. Hill was one of tho first Southern politicians to advocate the new political departure which culminated in. tho nomination of Mr. Greeley for tho Presidency in , 1872, and on this lino of policy competed for a.seat in th United States Senate in 1873, but was de feated by Gen. Gordon, w ho voted for Mr. Greeley, but opposed the "new departure" platform on which he was run. Mr Hill was an independent t candidate for Cimfrro against the Democrat ie uniuineo !n 1S74; and was tleeUJ ly a very largo majority; iu 1870 he was tlao elected lv an over whelmicj majority to the Forty fifth. Congress. Mr, nilTs election to the rfenate is a great personal triumph, and it is known he was opposed by nearly every leading politician, including ex-Governor Brown and Hon. Robert Toombs. We hope Mr. Hill will give the Democratic party a hearty sup port His great lack is steadiness. A CAKE OF INJUSTICE. An English author writes to the London Times to present what he deems aease of very unfair trc&t mrnt by an American publisher. If the facts are as he alleges, it must be confessed that his com plaint is not altogether unjusti fied, to say the least. The Eng liuhman thus states his case: Thirty years ago he; published a book. An American, without giv ing the author any intimation of his plan, republished it here, and the only thing received from him by 'the' author was two illustrated copies of the work. Of that, how ever, tho author xlocs not com- plain. But he proposes to issue a revised edition of the work next autumn, and has written to the American publisher to. make ar rangements to bring it out simul taneously in both countries. So successful has tho book boon hero that it has reached the thirtieth edition, and one would naturally suppose that, having made a fat tlmjgout of tho book without paying a cent to tho author, the publisher would be reasonably accommodating. But he declines to move in the matter at all "in asmuch as the proposed altera- Vtions would, fccyond a doubt, in "terfcre with his "plates," ' Bays tho author, who is thus complete ly cut out of the American market for tho revised edition of his pop ular work by this publisher. The author has neither the wish nor intention to retaliate, he says, by trying to hurt the American's trade, which showsbt)tter spirit on his part than' thet publisher ougnt to expect .What., the pub lisher can. say for .himself wo do not ' know, but there seoms no doubt as to the ' course in honor and justice hoi should pursue. A MEMORABLE WEEK. , Senator Conkling's great Bpeech was delivered ex tempore, j.-It will soon be published in pamphlet form. It is one of the great po litical events of the day. : ' i The "Sun" of Saturday says: "It was a Niagara of eloquence. that wag heard, in tho House on yesterday, and that has now paBsod into the deep, quiet .cur rent of history. Lamar, Ben Hill, Watteroon; David Dudley; pield, and many others were among the speech makera It has been : a memorable week for the "great constitutional orators" in both Houses of Congress, and" ! it1 is a happy reflection for the debaters that the great debate will be re ferred to in that far away time of the bcreajjter'whon thcro is again a 'political exigency. 'sirnilar1 or analogous to that which now ex ists!' There was more opposition in tho Electoral' Bill, from the Democratic side, in the House, thaw there, had been in the Sen ate, as the reports show., Alto gether, it was One of the most im portant and exciting fiesions of the House '"that closed ' after" the passage' of tho bill at half-past five yesterday afternoon. ' r GRANT .SIGNS THE IULL1 , At ten o'clock yesterday the Electoral Bill was presented to, and immediately signed by; Presi dent Grant He signified at the same time his intention to send a special message ' to the Senate, announcing ' his approval of . the BUL ( ',, Wetako this to mean that he has decided to, let the sceptre depart quietly from Judah. : It is to be regretted that he did not ar rive at this conclusion earlier. His namo would have gone down to posterity, with less' odium at tached to it, and the country would ha vo beon in a far more prosperous condition. ItniBV eave vonr lif tnr it mrn your cold and oough.
