The telegraph brings Us the intelligence
OF the election Of the Hon. Eugene Cusscrly
Us the successor e? Mr.. Confess IN the Sen
ate after the 4th Of March, 1869. We are
gratifed that the somewhat protractcd de-
alterations Of tie Conservatives have re
suited in the choice Of one whom even the
New York Tribune is compelled TO recognize
as possessing considerable ability and ire
proachablo character. Mr.. Cosserly is q
man of middle age, native OF New York
He emigratcd to California Il few years ago,
where he has closely applied himself to the
law. His abilities and force Of character
have raised him to prominent position at
the bar, and these, with his steadfast ad-
hercnce to Conservative principles, Will
combine to make him influential and re-
spected in his now career,

PRESIDENTIAL MATTERS.

At present there is much discussion in
Washington concerning Presidential CAN
didates and their prospects. There are no
positive indications as to the final action of
either party, or the names Of the men who
will be nominated. For months before the
last nominations were made it was under
stood that there was q pressure for McClol-
Ian which could not be resisted. Grant has
at this time no such prestige in the Radical
party. Its Oldest leaders are opposed to
him. A secret bnt powerful organization,
semi military in It's character, is formed in
many States and of which Andrew John
son is the first choice. Three Andrew
johnson camps are already established in
this city-and there are more or less in all
the Middle and Western States. But, leav-
ing candidates out of the question, / think
the prediction that in the next Presidential
contest the Democratic party will triumph,
to be perfectly safe one.
In my judgment, admitting that all the
States will take part in the election, the
Democracy will carry the following States,
although statesman, no less eminent than
the Hon. Daniel ". Torhees, of Indiana,
claims much better result: California, 5;
Connecticut, 6; Delaware, B Illinois, 1G !;
Indiana, IL kentucky, II; Maryland, 7 !;
Missouri, IL: Nevada, s f; New Jersey,
New York, 50 Ohio, 81; Oregon, 3; Penn
syIyania, 26; Wisconsin, s Minnesota, ;
West Virginia, 4.-f61. For the Radicals:
Iowa, s; Kansas, B Maine, Z; Massachu-
sets. L. Michigan, 8; New Hampshire,
5; Rhode Island, 1, Vermont, 5.-52.
Now doubtful for the contest: Alabama,
8 Arkansas, 5; Florida, 3; Georgia, 8;
Louisiana, z Mississippi, z; North Caro-
lima, 8; South Carolina, 6; Tennessee, 10;
Texas, 4; Virginia, 10-7S. Whole number,
81. It would require 156 votes to elect,
leaving, according to this calculation, 25
votes to the Democracy to spare. Various
changes might be made in this combina-
ton, but similar result would be the in
evitable consequence.
VERY truly youFs,
CROMWELL.

RADICALISM.

4 few members of the Loyal Leagues -
with some of the views OF The NATION,
commonly known as Charles Sumner
Summers head must still be III n dreadful
condition when Such ideas can find ludg~
ment in it.
He told the "Grand Council . that the
two great mistakes OF Radicalism consisted
in the g failure to impeach the President
and to pass a political rights bill Terri
BILE failures, it must be confessed. la his
Judgment they have left the Radical party
in state of hopeless bankruptcy. That
this is the condition Of that party all will
agree but bankruptcy is trlde better
than total humiliation, which would have
its fate, had the attempt to impeach the
President proceeded. Poor Sumner also
"felt outraged that such men as Hunter
and Rives, and Letcher were allowed to
take part in the proceedings of the Virginia
Convention. His feelings ought to awaken
profound sympathy. UderWCod and Hun
nicutt are such worthy representatives of the
mother Of States that her final and
eternal destinies ought to be committed To
their hands. The Fortress at the gate of
hell never swung 1t open OIL its grating
from the school Of Radicalism with SO many
honors as have fallen to the share Of I'm
derwood and Hunnicutt. They are as lively
now as hornets nest, having ''lain down
with dogs and risen up with Heas," but in
the order of a good Providence they will
soon receive their Quietus.

some demonstrations aud cheers by the

AS the ship gracefully moved from the

comment The CUuRjcic Of this morning
says that Hancock is in high favor with re

to call him traitor and acopperhead, and
such other pleasant epithets as enrich the
vocabulary of Radicalism.

Stunning appearances incident to the ap

New Years are made special occasions of
relaxation, mirth and pleasure. Perhaps
there is no city in the Union where the
custom of making calls and receiving is
carried to the extent that it is here, or
where there is such a formal observance
of the etiquette of fashionable life. The
great reception will be by the President. =
Before the doors of the Executive Mansion
are thrown open to the public, the Foreign
Ministers, officers Of the army and navy
Cabinet Ministers, Judges of the Supreme
Court, and other high officials, call on the

There are good many hog pens, privies,

will be brought up soon, unless the nuisances

A ROMANTIC AFFAIR-A GIRL IN MALE
ATrIRE.-On the passage up, last night, of
the staeamer Keithsburg, she landed at
Muscatine, probably about or II o'clock,
and several persons came on board. After
the boat started for Rock Island, the clerk,
while collecting fare, found a young person,
in male attire, who had no money and took
the individual to the captain of the boat, who
at once, suspected the sex. The captain re-
moved the pretended young mans hat and
charged her with the false disguise, giving
her good reprimand and threatened to ex-
pose her before the crew if she did not own
up. She then acknowledged that she was a
girl. She had bundle with her, and said
she would put on her own clothes if he
would give her a state room. This was
done, and she retired for the night.
This morning the chambermaid got her
story, viz that she was about II years old !;
the daughter of Henry Funk, merchant, on
Second street, Muscatine; that he was de-
termined she should marry an old bachelor
there, and on her refusing he had beaten
her with a raw hide. She showed the cham
bermaid and the captain her shoulders and
arms, which were shociingly cut and bruis-
ed by the whip. The captain, on advice of
City Marshal Cropper, took her back to Mus
catine, on his down trip, this morning, to
place her in hands of the officers of tina,
city, that she may be protected from the
abuse of an inhuman father.
