The Governor grew to |@cceeded. be very wealthy while a Representative in Washington, making others algo well off and himself correspondingly popular for the time being. But his Excellency has really no other qualification for leadership. He is quite ‘uneducated and untrained, except in # commercial way, and so it is reckoned, that while it is easy enough to look owligh and utter wise commonplaces and procure good clerical and professional services for a consideration, it is avery different thing tocreditably and respectably fill the chair of a Senator of the United States, The Governor cannot see why ho may not be a Senator as well as Gov- ernor, since Governor Morgan was sent to the Senate. I would not presume to “strike the difference,” if any where be, but I will advert to the slight ciroumstance that Senator Morgan has a tall brain and has enjoyed metropolitan inter- course and culture from boyhood. But no matter now about all that, My present point is, after prolonged and patient investigation, to bring the readers of the Herat toa fall and serene knowledge of the fact that the great struggle for United States Senator is narrowed down to the incumbent Harris and Governor Fenton. Horace Greeley was started by the Governor to check- mate or head off the Sonator. So long as Fenton paid for and kept his seat in Con; he saw that there was five or ten times the power in a Senator’s seat than per- tains to a common C., so he sought by the same means the he now holds, It has transpired that his Excellency contemplated the contingency of General Dix’s candidacy and consequent election to the guberna- torial chair; in which case the Governor sagaciously ce cluded that, aa the victim of the conservative coalition, which occurred in that part of Venesuela:— General Pulgar, who for some time past was waiting in Curacoa for a fit opportunity to make an attack on Maracaibo, provided two schooners with forty-five of his followers, and on the 28th ultimo proceeded to the castle hee Bee cid i. = most severely, as Monagas illery. The dissensions which disturbed the tranquillity of Tui arose at the electioneering; but according to the last ac- counts no blood was and order had been re- established.

Dix was not nominated and the Governor was re-elected, and with him, as I have already indicated in my despatch on this Senatorial question, a Lieut - ernor, of whom It is stoutly con! jed it would never do to make him Governor: a iston carefully made by Mr. Waldo Hutchins, Mr, fiton Harris and the friends of Mr. Conkling, in combination at the time the immaculate Alvord was summarily di from the Governor’s Lieutenancy.
