Generals case resembles that Of one OF your ancient
Governors who said he came in by uuanim Gus
vote ard went out by unanimous vote.
The Council, as before stated, consists OF seven
Republic ADS ard one American; the Senate of three
Democrats, three americans and thirty-tour Repub
licaLs. Under the old majority ru only two Coun-
cloIs and thirteen Senators would have been chosen,
and none Of the State officers. The vacancies
would bsve been filed by the House and the Seni-
tors elect, in joint ballot and the Senate would then
have been unanimously Republican. 1t is better as
it is. The only Senators who receive majority of
votes are Messrs. Upham and ingalls, of Essex,
Earle Field, Bailey and Allen of Worcester, Walk
er of Hampden, knight and Boyden Of Hampshire,
Greene of Franklin, Cornell aud Bliss of Bristol,
and Swift of Barnstabe. Ten of the Senators elect
were members last year.

Tie smallest dist :ict is what is called the Cape
District, where only I,2l2 votes were cast the
largest is the Second Middlesex District, where the

likely to be, practically, grievance of any great
