s1The disrraccful partisaps

s9-The disgraceful partisanship of
certain Senators, headed by Mr.. Sum
ner, had another display yesterday in
the opposition made TO the confirmation
of the distinguished ex-senator from
Pennsylvania as Minister to Austria
There is no question as to Mr.. Cowan's
cmiuent fitness for the post. A gentle
man OF commanding ability and rare
attachments, Of straightforward iutcsri.
~ and imposing presence, he would do
his country credit in any Court in
Christcndom. But because he has
been true to his principles, while Mr..
Summer has sacrificed his, Mr.. Cowsn
Is to be thrust one side. Such partisan

ssD-The Legislature is allowed by
the Constitution to sit as long as the
public interest may require, but not to
receive more than 500 each per ses-
sion which at $500 per day gives so
days which expire on Friday the 29nd.
We think it likely the session will be
closed at that time, OF within few days
thereafter.

on the LIST. day Of April next, 1t will
be holly contested, aud the result looked
for with much interest. At the last

ried the whole four membcrs by about
II, 900 majority. At the election for
Governor last year, which saa vigorous
ly contested on both sides, they sue.
ccedcd by only 54l majority in the
State. At the last Spring elections the
Radicals appeared to haze from 5000 to
1000 majority probably on a small vote.

ty. We are not without strong hopes
Of carrying the State this time, or at AN
