THE SPENCER Reconsideration of Part
neTship.-The partnership heretofore exist
ing between Messrs. Pratt Il MetcalG of the
Spencer House, expired by limitation on the
It'll inst, and Colonel L. A. Pratt has now
become the sole proprietor of that excellent
and popular hotel.
The patrons of the Spencer will much re.
greet to part with Major G. N. Metcalf, who,
during a term of FIVE years as a landlord, has
made numerous friends in this city by his
uniform courtesy and close attention to the
comfort of his guests. We hope to see him
ere long once more in the position OF a Boni-
face in this vicinity.
Colonel Pratt has had varied experience
of many years as q landlord, in different
parts of the country, and comprehends his
business in all of its departments; aud we
feel sure that the Spencer will lose none of
its reputation in such competent hands. He
proposes to make various Improvements in
the Hotel, which will rebound to the in
creased convenience and comfort of the
sojourners at and habitues of the Spencer-in
every respect a first house.

"THE OHIo SENAToRsHP.-Mr. Chase hav-
ing entered upon the duties Of Secretary Of
the Treasury, the question now arises Who
will be his successor in the Senate A lively
fight for the position is anticipated. Mr..
Wade, coming from Northern Ohio, IL is be-
lieved here that the new Senator will be
taken from the southern part of the State;
and in that event Hon. John A. Gurley, of
Cincinnati, will most likely be the man.
Mr.. Gurley is a leading and most popular
Republican in Southern Ohio, and has twice
carried one Of the Cincinnati Districts in the
face of odds which it seemed impossible to
overcome. He has been a strict party man
in Congress, and has taken the lead in re-
forming the abuses which existed under Mr..
Bucbanan's Administration, as Chairman of
the Committee on Public Printing. He re-
duced the cost of the public printing forty
per cent, thus saving to the Government, in
the last session alone, $500 OO. BE also se-
cured the passage Of a bill establishing a
Government printing Office "a measure
which will abolish forever one Of the most
frgitful sources of corruption in the Gov
eminent.
81 understand that Senator Wade is warmly
urging Mr.. Gurley as successor of Mr.. Chase.
With his powerful aid he will prove a for
midable candidate, and should he be elected,
will, by his conservative course in the
Senate, greatly strengthen and popularize
the Republican Party
