gained. Already has Mr.. Hale's seat been
secured to him or another republican, and to
say that either of the other two will be sue

William l.. DAYTON; that makes twenty
three. Stuart Of Michigan, and Douglas Of
Illinois, have made two more Repn blican SEN
ators certain for another Congress there is
twenty-five. The two bogus senators from
the State of Indiana, having now been used
for the purposes of the administration, will
be ignominiously kicked out Of this or anoth-
er Congress, and the next election in Hoosier-
dom will make two additional republican SEN
ators, this swells the number to twenty-seV'
en-. Shields of Minnesota, already an avowed
Douglas man, makes twenty eight. Broder-
lex Of California, one of the ''renegades"
read out of the party, is twenty nine. And
the free State legislature which regent Cal

forced 10 elect for KanZas, will swell the
grand total to thirty-one.
That will do. A gain of eleven senators
within two years, ought to satisfy nyoody'

turn published an account of his observations.
The picture he limns is by no means attrac-
tive. All thinns in Washington are said by

tiary under the Sub Treasury Ia for taking
public money, or an Office and a declaration
in behalf of Lecompton. He, Of course, chose
the office, was shielded from he ust retribu-
ton of crime, and instead Of being sent to
prison, was not only set at large, but reward
ed by a lucrative official position and one of
honor. The greatest men at Washington, re-
marks this writer, ''some thirty members

| sanity prevails to an alarming extent in Cali
fornia, and the statistics show that it is stead

! yet others to the habits of the people, which
latter, we are inclined to think, are the near
est right.

an insurance company insures on a workshop,
they take the risk Of all the articles ordinari-
