Our telegraphic oolumns, elsewhere in this issue, announce the election of Hon. DANIEL D. PBATT, of Logansport, as United States Senator, to succeed THOMAS A. EENCEICKS. Tbe election was h6ld a'. 12 M, on yesterday, in joint convention of the two branches of the Legislature. Mr. PRATT received cighiy-thrtt votes and Mr. HENDBICKS tixiy vote?. We are glad to record this happy termination of tbe difficulties which have existed in the Republican party in respect to the ciii.ito .f the person who should be our next Senator. The representst vei of tbe Republican party have nearly unaniiccu?'y voted for Mr. PBATT, aedtbus settled the famliy trouble, that has exiited for ibe past fortnight, among themselvi.», and without resort to any aid from the Democracy. Personally we w.-re in hopes tbat tbe party would unite on our fellow-townsman Co'. R. W.
THOMPSON and elect hino, aid we have a'ivoctiled bis claims on the pany for the position. It was cot po.-sible, however, for Republicans to a^rec up on any one cf tbe tnanv gentlemen who h'ave been prominently mentioned io connection with tbo office, and, as is often tbe ca«e, they Luve all been put a»ile and a gentleman not seeking tbe position chosen. It i.- a matter of congratulation for tbe p*rtv tb-t our Republican Legitlators yave adapted this iurse. Tbe choice of ny proniii.ent RopuMican by the aid of
Democratic vnt»:» would have b°en sn uoft'rtunale affair for tbe party, and a result which, upon reflection, would not have been doei'able.
The election of Air PBATT is an honor to tbo State. He is a gentleman of high scholastic a t-iinment.«. c.n unoomprcml ng Repu biican and a lawyer of reco^ nized ability, for many year? pa«t, in our Stall? He is not a politician by trade.— He has been practicing bis profession, in Indiana, for quarter of ajpntury, with out attracting any political notoriety, but quietly impressing the people with a high admiration for his sterling honesty, prof?!«ior*il ability and purity of life In the unostentatious pursuit of his profe?sion ha bss acquired a respectable fortune, lie is now in the full vigor of middle age —a tuan of fl»e personal presence and grent intellectual force. He is a vrortby peer of MOBTOS. The only appearan he bus tecently made in the arena ofpoli tics, was his race l»5t fal!( for Congress in the Eighth District in which he defeated
Hon. NATHAN A. Rots by majority of 2,2S7 votes. He is consequently iho mem ber of Congress elect from the Logans port District, and would have tak«n his
TERRE-HAUTE, INDIANA, JANUARY 27, 1869.
seat in the ensuing Oongrea after theitb of March next. His election to the Senate will necessitate the choice of a Republican suocessorlo the lower bouse ef Congress from his district. The selection of Mr. PBATT, United States Senator, we predict will commend Itself to the Republican party constantly as he l» better known, and it will be forbid to be one wbicb, while it wa? not expected, not be regretted, in the future, by party.
