The CALIFORNIA SENATORS.-The Washing
ton correspondent of The Sonth, who writes of
California politics as 81 an expert i'm them, is,
we are happy in being able to say. in error in
writing down the California Senators as likely
to be opponents of the National Administration
next winter in fact, if not in name. Not long
since we entertained the same impression with
reference to the probable course of Senator
Broderick; but are now able to say that his
immediate friends deny the allegation with
great emphasis. As for Senator OWNS posi-
ton, we know of our own knowledge that The
.SOnth's correspondent is under a mistake We
question much whether the Administration will
have next winter a more earnest and active
supporter in Congress than VIM NJ. Gwin, of
California. All signs certainly point in that
way now. -
