a Washington correspondent fur
nishes the following IA relation to the,
expiring terms Of United States San
atorz
Tne present Congress-eIiding on the
9Th of March next-terminates the Sem
atorial career of the following gentle
men, unless they shall be reelected
meant1mes Daniel Clark OF New
Hampshire Lafayette S. Foster, of Com
necticuf; Ira Harris, of New York; Luke
Y. Poland. Of Vermont Edgar Cowan,
-of Pennsytv Lyman TrumbGIlI, of
illinois, Benjamin Gratz Brown, Of
Missouri; Garrett Davis, OF Kentucky;
James w, Nesmith, OF Oregon; Samuel
Q. Pomeroyt or kansasSS Henry s. Lane,
Of 1ndiana5 Timothy o. Howe, of Wis
cousin; John "A. ]. Creswell, of Mary
land; and James A. McDpugall, OF Cal
nornie. The only elections that have
yet taken place for the term COM
mencing In 1867 are: Mr.. Sherman
of Ohio, and Mr.. Cole, of CALIFORNIA;.
Mr. Clark expects TO be reelected. Mr..
Foster hopes TO be- but Is In doubt: BE
has not been conservative enough for
the conservatives nor radical enough
for the radicals; and, unfortunately,
such men are not apt to succeed IN
times like these, when party spirit runs
J, so high. The successsorship of Harris
will create quite a lively contest IN the
| Empire State. Governor Fenton5 Hem
~ J. Raymond, Horace Greely and
half dozen others are candidates. Mr..
Il C0Wan, Of PennsylTan . certain TO
Il be thrown overheard. Mr.. Trumbull
Il will have an exciting contest to go
Through. General Logan, Governor
i 0glesbay, Mr.. Washburne, General
Palmer and several others, not one OF
4 whom is in any respect the equal OF
/ rrumbull, as a lawyer or statesman,
4 will be his opponents in his own party,
1 to say nothing OF the chances of aeon
Il sentative triumph in Illinois, and the
l choice of a democratic aspirant, OF
| whom there are several OF the fepub-
lfcAn competitors Of Mr. Ifumbnll,
Iogan's prospects are the best. His
army record Is the best, perhaps, ofany
4 eitizen general Of the late war, and he
Il relies on this TO carry him through.
4 Tfumbull could not have helped 20
whip the rebels at Atlanta as Logan
did, nor could Logan have made the
Il powerful siyeto1 speeches that Trum-
bull did.
Gratz Brown. of Missouri, would
like to be reelected, but his chances
are slim. He came here under heavy
pressure of great expectation, which he
has not fulfilled, and Frank Blair Is af-
Il ter MN on LQe KEEN Jump anu - Il 50
4 confident of success that he would not
Il give ten cents for an accidental insur-
4 anee policy on his being sworn into
Browns seat on the 4h of March.
Carrot Davis, in any other State but
Kentucky, would be Laid away as dead
timber, but he Is not too old yet to raise
his eloquent voice in damning niggers,
and 50 long as he can do that he is a
man after Kentucky's own heart
There are those, however, who can
damn the negroes more loudly than he
and the most vehement damner viii
get the SenatorshjP next winter.
i Mr.. PomerQY, of Kansas, viii prob
ably retire at the close of his present
tenn, having several compositions better
lqualfied for the position than he.
| Mr.. Lane, of Indiana, is not a candi-
1 date for Ie-election, / believe. If the
Republicans are successful next fall
Governor Morton Will be elected. II
the democrats carry the State the fight
will be, between MeDongalI, whom
Morton beat for Governor two years
ago, and Dan VOORHEES,, with the chan
/ ces In favor of the latter.
Mr.. GresWel viii probably be re-
elected, provided the Maryland test
\ oath Is kept in force. If It is repealed,
however, he viii have some trouble in
getting his political friends into the
Legislature.
