THIRTY FOURTH CoNeEEss.-rhe present
u. S. Senate, whose constitutional exis.
month comprises, when full, sixty two
members.
The number Of Senators thus far elected
is fifty five. This leaves seven vacancies to
be filled. OF these, four, Indiana, Pennsyl-
vania, California, and Missouri, will not be
filed by the next meeting Of Congress, the
Legislatures OF these States having failed to
elect; the vacancy in Alabama will be filed
by Nebraska man, and the two in New
Hampshire by Republican anti Nebraska
men. The Senate will then stand,c VI
Nebraskaites 3S
Ant-N ebraskaites 20
This is gain of five anti-Nebraska votes
upon the formation of the last Senate
Thete are twenty-one Senators TO be elected
for 1857. Of these, it is reasonable to hope
that seven, at least, will be gains. In the
four vacancies that were not filled this win.

braska, which will reduce the Nebraska rep.
resentation in the Senate Of 1858 to very
small majority.
The House Of Representatives when full
consist of 234 members. Elections for the
next Congress have been held in Maine, New
Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts,, New
York, New Jersey, Pennsy lvania. Delaware,
South Carolina, Colo, Indiana, illinois, iowa,
Missouri, Arkansas. Michigan; Floridai Wis:
consin and California. AS far as chosen the
House stands Nebraskaites. 33, anti-Nebras-
kaites l2l. So that the anti. N ebraska party
is already sure of majority OF eight mem.
bers, if all the remaining States should
choose Nebraska Representatives. But Of
the thirteen States yet to elect, but eleven
are certain for Nebraska, and it is not at all
extravagant to hope for an anti. Nebraska
majority of ten in the next House. This is
a gain of twenty-three over the previous
House-the Nebraska bill having passed the
House by majority If ID votes.

City Clerk is not a whisky Old Liner. Well
we should like to know then what right he
has to be treating for votes! We have it
upon very good authority that our young
friend directly after receiving the approval Of
the little Old Line clique meeting. held about
too weeks ago, commenced electioneering
vigorously. He got hold OF German at the
A polio Hall saloon, and at once invited him to
take a glass Of lager beer. Soon after they,
took another on our aspiring young friends
account, and probably more. Finally said
Well.

The Ola Line Ticket.

We said, and were very honest in making
the remark, that every man on the tickle,
nominated by the Old Line meeting last Sat-
urday night, was Of foreign birth, except one.
The Enquirer is exceedingly indignant at
this, for two reas ons-in the first place, be-
cause there were two American born persons
on the ticket, 1--WE acknowledge we were
misinformed as to Mr.. Spalding) and second
ly, because the others have lived long time
in this country. Then there are really two
American born candidates for Office in Ev-
ansville on the Old Line ticket! Now we
distinctly said that we thought no less Of
these men because they were not born in
this country-but we do think less of that
party, which, holding meeting in opposition
to society because it draws lines of distInc.
ton between American and foreign born
citizens, take it upon themselves to draw
these lines just as closely as it was in their
power 10 do. We say that if Know Nothings
are showing an undue Partially to Americans
these Old Liners are exhibiting just as strong
a favoriteism for foreign born citizens
They are as culpable in their conduct as the
Know Nothings can possibly be in theirs
They are just rs proscriptive, without having
even the virtue Of q patriotic feeling on
their aide. Our sentiments are well known.
We have never made distinction between
American citizens on account of nativity
We have endeavored privately as a citizen
and publicly as an editor, to be just to all
men. and we neither know nor care for the
place of mans birth on attempting to be
just. But we are opposed, in a community
composed principally Of Americans, to quietly
witnessing party SO stoop to the foreign in
fuence as to make up a long ticket and only
put tiro Americans on it. The more intelh
gent Of foreigners must themselves feel con
tempt for the petty juggling party spirit
which would thes deny and insult it's own
countrymen. The very best way of all othsrl
to give the Know Nothing party increase o
members, power and influence, seems to hav,
been adopted by the Old Liners OF Evans
vile. We shall see how it will all end.

following particulars:
The scene in the vicinity Of the pit was
most rending. Long rows of collins were
strewed along the ground and the carpen-
ter's hammer was busily engaged in clesiIg
them up for interment. The cries of the
families Of the unfortunate men who lost
their lives, filled the air a nd struck the most
profound grief to the heart Of every behoidcr.
The hands in the pit were busly employed
hunting the dead. ana as each basket would
arrive at the top of the shaft containing
mutt lated body. the acquaintances who re.
cognised it wOud give vent to their grief in
loud amentaton. More horrible mutilatioa
of the human body we never saw. Some of
the corpses were drawn up without rag Of
clothing, and the skin literally flayed off,
One body was taken out with the legs burn
ed off close to the body, which had occurred
from the deceased having been blown into
pile of burning timber.
The cause of the explosion, as we learn
from Major Woodbridge, The President OF the
Midlothian Company, was an accident which
no skill could have averted, and no caution
prevented. The company had worked shaft
and from rising of the water in it, had been
forced TO discontinue operations there. The
shaft being abandoned, the foul air accuma.
lated there, and needed only the application
of FIRE TO explode. Tie workmen in another
pit belonging TO- the same company had
worked back to the old pit without being
