THURSDAY MORNING SEPT. IS, 1884.
Senate of The United States. The SEN

Scnat, Of The United States. The Sen
nte of Maryland consists Of fifteen mem
bers, elected for term Of five years, by
college of electors, 40 in number. The
college which has just been chosen in
that state, is decidedly National Repub-
lican in politics, (28 to l2) which will
secure to us Of course the whole Of the
State Senate for the ensuing five years.
With the strong preponderance we have
hitherto maintained in the House Of Del
egates and with even ma ajority in that
body opposed to us, we may be certain
Of electing colleague Of congenial sem
timents to Mr.. Chambers in the winter of
'32, when the choice will be effected
Gen. Smiths Jackson term in the Sen
ate will expire in March, 1893.
In Indiana, it is admitted that Mr.
Clay's friends have decided majorities in
both branches Of the Legislature, and
that the successor Of Gen. Noble will of
course be Clay man.
In Kentucky, the changes in the State
Legislature have been such as 10 nntho-
rize us TO count on from twelve to fifteen
majority for Clay senator in joint bal
lot. Mr. Crittenden, we presume, will
be the candidate selected, though strong
intimations are given in the western pa
pers and in private correspondence, that
Mr. Clay himself may be ultimately a
greed on.
in Louisiana, a Senntor is 20 be cho-
sen in the place Of Mr. Livingston, mp
pointed Secretary Of State. From the
character Of the Legislature Of this state,
and from the recent unequivocal demon
strations in our favor, it is not too SAN
guine 10 anticipate that the successor 10
Mr. L. will be Of the true National Re-
publican stamp, and as friendly to Mr.
Clay and the American System ms the
state has hitherto proved itself
Deducting then from the National Re-
publican strength in the Senate Mr. Bar

we were committed would wait upon the

We arrived at Lawrcnceville late at
night. Friday was spent in vain at
tempt to convene the court. On Satur-
day morning DR.. Butler had very ,io-
lent and dangerous attack Of bilious col
lex, and although by prompt and v'gor-
Gus medical assistance, he was relieved
in few hours; he was by no means able
10 attend court. The Cherokee also vas
unable TO attend.
The court convened and we were pre-
sented before them think at about | !
O'Clock A. NJ. will not attempt to de-
scribe the proceedings. They appeared
to me as singular as the attitude in which
we were presented, in the hands of a
constable, already committee d TO Jail, and
at the same time III lhe hands Of Col.
Nelson to be presented before the court
to which he was required To render the
reasons Of our capture and detention. -
In the result we were ordered to give
security for our appearance at the next
term of the Superior Cout, or be dne'o

our appearance except the Cherokee,

ONO CANAL.-On Tuesday the water
was admitted into the canal from the
Walnut creek feeder, eight miles north
Of Circleville; and on Wednesday morn
ing the whole line between these points
were copiously supplied. We learn from
Mr.. Kelly, the acting commissioner, that
all the jobs between this place and tho
Licking Summit, are in such state Of
torwardncss rs to afford reasonable
promise that boats may pass from Cleavc-
land here in four or five weeks; and it il
confidently anticipated that, in the course
Of the coming autumn, navigation may be
extended sou,hward to ChilIicothc. From
ChiI!icothe to the Ohio river the jobs are
in advanced stages Of progress, afiordins
the cheering prospect that one more sea-
sou will witness the successful consum-
nation of this splendid enterprise, which
will afford the means of an internal wat
or communication between the majestic
Mississippi in the south, and the great
st. Lawrence Of the north, from New
Orleans to Quebec! And this stupcn-
dous work will have been accomplished
by the single energies oftw individual
States--a nattering commentary upon
our free institutions, and the irresistible
enterprise Of our citizens.

WILLIAM ConpErr.--A correspondent
Of the New York Standard, writes from
London--"Cobbeu was tried before
the Kings Bench about a week ago
for scditious publication. The trial
excited good deal Of interest, ns being
directed against the press, and by lib
cral ministry. Cobbeu had cited all the
ministers as Witnesses; and in his speech
lashed them very severely. The Attor-
ney General, Sir Thomas Denman, was
evidently afraid Of him, and handled him
lightly, calling him perfect master Of
the English language. He was virtual
ly acquitted, the Jury not being nble to
agree upon verdict. If Cobbeu was
an honest man, his influence in this coun-
try would he unboundcd, as il is, il is per-
hars greater than ii,A, Of any other indi-
yidual"

Let not our friends in other States,
suppose, because the Jackson party have
by every species Of corruption obtained
a majority af the members of Congress,
that it is an evidence that majority Of
the votes in the state are in favor Of Jack
sonism. Nothing can be further from the
fact. There is clear majority Of not
less than Jour thousand poies in favor of
Mr.. Clay in Kentucky, which by the
next election will be increased to six or
eight thousand. No state in the Union
is leaving Jackson faster than Kentucky.
At the last Presidential election, The ma :
jo'ity in favor ofJackson was eight thou
sand; the tables are row turned and the
majority is four thousand the other way.

if the bushes, part of the people Of that

From the n. Y. Eve. Jour. Of 1harsday, sth inst.
Mr.. Durant made a most successful
nrial excursion yesterday afternoon from
Castle Garden, being his fourth nronau-
tic enterprise. He left the Garden at a.
bout 20 minutes past five o'clock, in the
presence of some 3 900 spectators within
the walls, s. probably six tines that num-
bcr upon the Battery & adjacent wharves.
The balloon took n direction precisely
contrary from its course on the last prev-
Gus occasion, the wind blowing tolerably
fresh from the southwark. The exhib-
ton was managed in most respects like
the last; the same rabbit, VIC believe,
came down from the car by means Of II
parachute, and was rescued by boat in
the river, after falling gracefully some "
or 1900 feet. Having attained an mp
parent elevation, Judging from compari-
son with the previous ascension, Of about
1900 or 2 500 feet, the balloon proceed
ed steadily in n northcrly direction for
about 90 minutes. The rronaut was
then seen to discharge quantity Of bal
last into the river; this of course caused
his vehicle to rise still higher, when it
took more westerly course, crossed the
line ofthe river, and moved horizontally
and regularly in northwest course, un-
Ill it became lost to the naked eye amidst
the obscurities Of the atmosphere, after
being in sight about so minutes.
! We had written thus far, when we
were honored with call from Mr.. Du-
rant, who reached the city at about half
past 10 this morning, and communicates
the following particulars. AT the time Of
starting, viz. 5h. 23m. the thermometer
stood at 78, barometer 80, G5O-at 5h.
33m. thermometer 60, barometer 81 ,542,
giving an elevation Of 2976 feet. The
balloon arrived near Hackensack, n. J.
at 8 minutes past 6 O'Clock, and was par
italy lowered, so that Mr.. Durant could
converse with the people; he again as
ccnded, and at Oh. 26m. attained an clc-
walton Of 1854 fcet--the thermometer
indicating n temperature Of SO degrees,
and the barometer measuring 21,8I5.-
At III minutes past 6, the balloon de-
scended in All open field at the village Of
Paramis, t'ceniy tro miles from Castle
Garden. 1t was towed by the inhabit-
ants for considerable distance, and Mr..
Durant alighted in perfect safety at tn.
Hotel. Here he packed up his balloon
and apparatus, and reached Jersey City
between 2 and 3 this morning. His re.
turn 10 Castle Garden was announced by

MARYLAND ELECTION. The follow
ing paragraph is from the Baltimore
Patriot of Tuesday,
ELECTION. The result in this city, is
given below. 1t shows that the Clay
men did not turn out, and that tho Jack
son men did-that is about ALL In
Hartford we learn tho Clay ticket
carried, by 100 majority. In Rockville
{ Montgomery district, report states the
votes about equal; al;-hcretofors that dis
trict gave a majority Of GO to 100 for
Jackson.
The following is from the Baltimore
Chronicle of Wednesday, when further
returns had been received.
The ELECTION. The Jackson men
were in cxstacies yesterday morning, at
having elected Mr.. Heath; and some
were so excited in spirit as to anticipate
carrying the state; but they were soon
reduced to low pressure by the news
from Hartford. Many of our party in
the city did not vote, and some Of those
who voted were 50 unkind rs to show US
the "frog of their foot" No matter,
they will be with us OH the main pull
and we can afford to lose the Baltimore
elector. Jacksonism is dead in Mary
land, and as the Jackson clector for
Baltimore will be entirely useless in the
electoral college, he may deliver a
funeral discourse over the carcase of his
party.
The Baltimore American Of yesterday,
contains returns from a number of
counties in Maryland, by which it APP
pears, as far as ascertaincd, "a electors
friendly to MIR. Clay, and friendly to
General jackson, have succeeded.
