o. ..

The United States Senatorship has been
somewhat discussed of late by the Republican
press Of the State, the discussion being inaugu-
rated by a suggestion from the Dayton Journ-
al, that the election of a Successor to Mr. Pugh
should not be made at the coming session but
be deferred till an adjourned meeting in 1861.
The proposition is a novel one, and as might
have been anticipated. meets with no favor
not a single Republican paper, so far as We
have observed, having approved of the sugges-
ton, but on the contrary, all that have expires
sed themselves have united in an earnest pro-
test against it. The Senatorship was the
prominent question in the recent canvass-the
question upon which hinged two-thirds of the
appeals to Republican voters-and it is one
that should, and doubtless will, receive the at
tention its Importance merits and demands, as
soon after the organization as propriety will
holding of an extra session, unless it be for
the purpose of dividing the State into Con-
gressional districts under the new census-and
un less it be for that purpose. We hope none
win be held. The election of a Senator
should not be postponed, and We have no idea
it Will be-the interests of the cause demand
that instead of being held in allegiance as a
prolific source of discord and strife, it should
be disposed of without unnecessary delay.
The State Journal, and several other of our
exchanges, have expressed the opinion that
Justice, propriety and the sentiment Of a large
majority of the Republicans of the State indi-
cate Gov. CHASE as the man who should be
chosen to ell that responsible post. In this
view we individually concur, but We make the
announcement with no purpose or expectation
of influencing a vote, or prejudicing the claims
of other aspiranis, among whom are gentlemen
of eminent ability and who have done COM
| mendable service in the cause. Members in
their votes should reflect the sentiments of their
constituents, if they know what they are-if
they do not, they should eDdeavor the ascertain
| them-and then, act as duty aud the public
good seem to require.

The HOG Trade.

Thu talk on "Change" is that $3,50a 81 nett
is likely to be the range paid in the country
for Hogs. Add to this, insurance, interest ac-
cruing on holding, &C., and the cost soon runs
up to a loosing point. Contracts would not
be made by packers here at over $3.50 nett,
unless for very early delivery, possibly and
as packers hold of. the farmers are becoming
anxious to contract.
From the great Porkopolis we have the fol-
lowing items. The Cincinnati Commercial
says:
1T is apparent that the "great bus ness of
our city, we will be enterd upon with cheerful,
yet cautious feelings, much improved by the
experience of the eccentric year just closing
There were sales of l25 head of hogs, averag-
ing 325 gross,-at $4,75, and three hundred
head delivered this week, averaging 200 lbs
nett, at $3.50. The offerings are liberal 1878
for future delivery.
Wednesdays Cincinnati Gazette, says.
Pork packing will commence in a few days /;
but the operations for two or three weeks to
come Will be light. There have been sales for
early delivery at $500 to $6-and the rate to
day, fer next week, was about S. ,75; but buy
ers dc not take hold with any degree of eager
ness. There is a general want of confidence in
the trade at current figures, and nobody, ex-
cept parties who had old contracts to fill, is
disposed to purchase in advance. The impress
sion is that the arrivals during the first part of
the season will be light, and that the heaviest
end of the business will be transacted after the
holidays. We shall from present indications,
have less Of a speculative, and more of a legiti-
mate business than last year.
The stock of barrel Pork reported in the in
spection yards at New Orleans amount to I2,-
123 IBIS, against 1927 bbls all kinds on the
LIST October.
At Chicago, extensive preparations are max
ing for packing. and Cincinnati, and Louisville
will have to look to their laurels, or the metro
polls of the Lakes will soon equal them in its
Hog packing as it now exceeds all others in
beef packing. An article in Wednesdays
Press and Tribune on the subject says:
The neef packers are now busy, and they
have already killed 25, 1000 head of Cattle, with
about half the season to operate in yet. 1t is
expected that, before the close, from $4,000 to
10000 head will be packed.

Gov Chase

Thu Columbus Gazette, in a long and abe
article, announces its preference for Gov. Chase
for the next Presidency. We take an extract
as follows:
an BIS four years administration as Cover
nor of Ohio, Mr.. Chase has exhibited in an
eminent degree those qualities of head and
heart which are essential to a proper discharge
of the duties of Chief Magistrate of the Union.
No man has ever complained that he has not
promptly and efficiently net all the response
bilities of his trust. His administrative capa-
city has been demonstrated as of the very first
order. His integrity of purpose has never
been doubted by his strongest political oppo-
nent. His annual messages are model State
papers, and give the most ample and compre-
hensive view of the financial, social and politi-
cal condition of our people. He has made his
residence at the Capital, and has in all respects
and in the most acceptable manner met the
responsibilities that attach to the position of
Governor of the State of Ohio. He has a.
dorned and digniied the post. He has made
it what it ought TO be-the head of the gov
ernment of a great and prosperous State. In
his place he has had numerous opportunities to
manifest his hostility to other sections if any
such feeling existed in his mind. But we chal-
lenge the ~strictest and closest scrutiny into his
acts in this respect. We affirm that the rights
of others have been in all respects carefully
maintained. In no act has he failed to regard
the claims upon him which are imposed by the
laws Of the land. That comfy and mutual
courtesy and good will which ought to exist
between the States of a common Union have
been studiously regarded and, at all times he
promptly responded to all the demands up
him as the Executive of Ohio. Is il prob
able that he would be less minded OF his high
trust, and the obligations of his position as
President of the United States? Do men who
are just and able, and patriotic as Governors,
change their character when transformed to n
broader and more responsible sphere of action?
We have not so read and learned human ma
ture. We affirm that the people of the Union
want, and viii demand for the position o Pres-
dent, some one who has demonstrated to the
world those high qualities of talent, integ rity,
and patriotism, which such a place so
imperiously requires"

Six Priests Drowned.

The Nantes journals record a melancholy at
fair "A party of seven priests, and a young
man, pupil of an ecclesiastical college, being
on a holiday visit to some friends at Nantes,
hired three days ago a boat to amuse them
selves by fishing in the neighborhood of St.
Nizaire, and after they had been so engaged
some time, a sudden gust Of wind threw the
boat on one side. Without reflection, all the
party collected on the other side, and this
caused the boat to upset. The seven eccle-
s~iasties and their companion, together with
two men and a boy who were with them were
precipitated into the water. Some Of them
chung TO tie boat for some time, but eventual
ly of the eleven persons all were drowned ex-
cept one of the priests and the boy, who swan
ashore. Four Of the clcrgymen were profes-
sors of the ecclesiastical college at Anglers,
the other three Of Les CcUets ut Nantes"

The Rochester Express says:
Ever since the denoaen1est of the mad and
focIbsrdy attempt of Old Brown at Harper's
Ferry. there have been rumors that Gerrit
smith was in a most distressing and pitiable
state Of mind.
u ID said that he has been constantly wiring

Brewp, and accusing himself with having been
instrumental in bringing his friends into their
present sore troubles.
While making a brief visit to the neighbor-
hood OF Mr.. Smiths residence, q few days

aTe that his reason would give woy under the

under q fear Of impending poverty. Peter

Eorsign NaWss

The late news from Europe is regarded as
the most important that has been received since
the reception of the letterof the Emperor Napole
on to Baron Huber, the Austrian Aambassador
which foreshadowed the italian war. There
is some excitement about war between France
and England, and the people of both nations
regard it as inevitable. There is war between
Spain and Morocco, and France is said to be
the ally of Spain. 1t is rumored that France
declines joining England in the expedition
against China. The intelligence is thus brief
ly summed up by the Washington correspond
ent of the Cincinnati Gazette
1st. The Zurich treaty lately concluded be-
tween France and Austria, gives no security
to the italian people is distasteful to them,
and inspires the other great powers with dis
trust.
I'd. A General European Congress must be
assembled, but whether its members can solve
the fate of Italy or not, is doubtful.
Sd. Owing to the unbending attitude of the
Pope with respect to temporal reform, and bis
hostile position towards the liberals of the
Romaga, it was thought that Garibaldi would
soon head a revolution, which would sweep
AWAY his temperatures.
4th. England viii not as surmised, be repre-
scented in the Congress, as she dislikes the Zu-
rich treaty to be made a basis of action.
5th. Napoleon will hold back his expedition
to China with the hope of c~oercing Lord Pal
merston to send an envoy to the Congress, and
to make that envoy support in good measure
his italian policy.
s. Lord Palmerston has plainly told Napo-
leon that he considers his course in Italy
fraught with danger to himself.
7. A new complication has arisen out of the
impending war between Spain and Morocco,
in which France indicates a purpose to take
part. Lord Palmerston declares England will
not suffer Spain to occupy both of the straits,
and will oppose it with force. France sides
with Spain, and a rupture between France and
England was regarded on all sides as immi-
nent.
8. An exciting agitation has sprung up in
France, on the question of the Pope's tempo
raj power, the Ultra Montanist and Orleanist
clergy taking a decided stand in support of the
Holy Fathers claim, while the Emperor with
many of the people are silently and quietly
ranging themselves in opposition. The late
pastoral of the archbishop of Orleans, an ar
ueuI supporter Vi Tue OIledilS iduhIIy, Hdu pto-
duced a very decided sensation.
9. Prussia was determined to cultivate a
more intimate alliance with Russia, and thus
enable herself to prosecute the humiliation Of
Austria in the Germatnic Confederation. For
this purpose, the prince Regent has set out
from Berlin to meet the Gar at Breslau, both
monarchs being attended by their Secretaries
of State for Foreign Affairs. The reform feel
ings evoked in Rome, at the moment of the
departure of the Sandman Minister, had not
at all subsidized, and were it not for military
discipline and obedience of the French troops,
it was thought that the soldiers of Napole on
even would join the inhabitants in again driv-
ing the Pope into exile, as a temporal ruler.

newmy challenge to him to meet me in a dis
cussion of the relative merits of Republican
ism and Democracy-either on the rostrum, or
through the columns of his paper; though I
should prefer the latter mode. He being the
recognized Jupiter Tonans of Democracy, and
I the Ajax of Republicanism, why should we
not crafty our fIiends and admirers by an en-
counter? Come, brave ChanticIeer, spunk up,
down from your odoriferous perch, and let us
at it. Birds of your feather are too apt to
waste their wind in idle crowing-do. l beseech
you, have done with such nonsense, and let us
do a little fighting by way of variety; l feel
exceedingly like enjoying a bout just now.

platform Of principles, together with my plan
for the abolition of slavery in the United States;
