Phis is just the kind of thing that protectionists are at war with, i’hey would put down the cost of whisky and put up the cost of the necessaries of life. There are forty women acting a cashiers of banks in Dakota. Not one of them has ever speculated, been short in her accounts or manifested tne slightest hankering for the bracing atmosphere of Canada. All of which argues well for giving our girls a chance.

On Tuesday last the Indiana Legislature performed a duty expected of it by the people in the selection of Mr. Voorhees to succeed himself in the United Rta*e* Senate. i n refer rintr to it the Indianapolis Pen Inel s*vs: Without even the solicitation of his presence, Indiana has voted lion. Daniel W. Veorhees his pwn sjccsa-, sor In the United States Senate.— Few men have thus taken on this honor without offort. Evt-n to re surae the mantle of the high office ch* aspirant has been an exception who has not bad to, at least arrange his shoulders for the reception or if. But our man did not even need to come to the at iring room His pe<A Die have, as it wore, done the carmens up inti a package And forwarded it to him. Sinoe he has worn it already, however, with a gracefulness entirely satisfactory to Indiana, there was no doubt as to-its lilting him bocominglr. and since he Knew the State would send it without the in-convenier-Ge of his coming for it, it is I .il as well for both that he did not Incur the risk of being slain by congra illationsbeing on the ground when yesterday’s election occurred. Hit were a work of supererogation to say anything biographical, or by way of tribute to the character, of Senator Voorhees. His ability has

been too often demonstrated by signal achievements ;n debate in the National bal.s of legislation, on the stump and at the bar, to admit of discussi n. His is a broad-gauge mind; his impulses are noble and his friendships true. While differing from him in rare iLscanees upon points in polities, the Sentinel yet holds his Democracy, like his rasahood, in high esteem. Wc heartily congratulate Indiana and Senator Voorhees upon yesterday’s results In the Senate.

W• Voorhees, says: While he is the trfost courteous cf opponents in debate, the man who does not respond to that e. urtesy hid better louk out. He has a voice of thunder and the courage and im~ p tuofity of the tiger, and ne is very quick in debate and repar'ee In oiivate life and among his associates. D inoerats and Republicans alike, he is as gentle and as genial as a girl.— He has not amassed great wealth, because he is the most generous of men, and because he does co much law bu siuess whore ‘•Thank ye” is all 1 e gets.

Indianapolis S«ntlnel;W. P Knight, editorgofj the Pike. County Democrat, has been appointed Reading Clerk in the Senate. If Mr. Knight’s experience kus been like that of other men connected with country* newspapers, he is no doubt bv this time highly proficient in the urt of read ng difficult manuscript.— The country editor comes up through much trial and tribulation, but his experience is not easily forgotten or the lessons soon unlearned. Wo predict that Mr. Knight will have no difficulty in deciphering ‘he Senatorial chirography. The appearance of the above item created a profound sensation in this place, and the friends of Mr. Nowe.ls did not know whats to make cf It. We are Informed that Mr. N, was suffering from sore throat, and suppose, therefore, that the appoin;ment of Mr. Knight was only temporary.
