TIE SENATE of the United States, though
overwhelmingly Republican, is scrupulously
and fastidiously democratic. At the begin
ming of the present session of Congress, on
motion of Mr.. Buckalew, the title of ''non-
orable," which has hitherto been prefixed to
the names of Senators on the records, was di-
rected to be omitted. The rules of procedure
adopted by the Senate the other day for the
guidance of that body in cases of impeach-
menE designated the Senate as the "High
Court of Impeachment" when sitting for the
exercise of judicial functions But some
members, it seems, thought that the rather
sonorous phrase savored of aristocracy, and
1t was accordingly omitted previous to the
adoption of the rules. At least this is. the
reason given for the rejection of the phrase
by some of the Washington correspondents.
But there is probably better reason If the
identity of the Senate were lost as the Senate,
and 1T became to all intents and purposes a
court, it would be involved in the technicali-
ties of regular judicial proceedings to such
ane extent as seriously to interfere with that
rapid progress in the trial of the President
which is acknowledged ON all hands to be
most desirable. AS the Senate it can more
properly be guided by the ordinary rules gov
erning its deliberations.

Attention, Ward One!

Your adjourned meeting for the election OF
Councilman occurs to-day. The experience
of yesterday shows that the full Democratic
vote will be polled In Ward Henry Fling
received on Monday 461 votes and yesterday
418. You may count then on Democratic
vote of nearly 3G7 to-day. You must give
James Kuowlton more votes than that or send
Democrat to the Council board. You have
a united strength of more than 400 votes.
Bring 1t to the polls. We have been contena-
ing with one another too long. 1t is time 10
stop this business. Those who are ready 10
go over to the other side shonid 80 III once
Those who choose 10 stay with us should vote
with us. Mr. Knowlton was nominated IN q
large caucus, after years faithful service,
without a single dissenting voice. There is
not single circumstance which any honest
Republican can bring up as an excuse for vot-
ing either directly or indirectly against him.
The polls will be opened at 10 o'clock. A
large police force will be in attendance and
every citizen may depend upon it that he will
be protected in his rights.
THE FIRST GUN FROM New HAMPSHIRE.
A special dispatch to the Argus announce
that Newcastle has elected Democratic town
officers, and adds that the town "has heretofore

So the first report from New Hampshire
shows net Republican gain of &c votes! Gov
ernor Hartman was elected last year by ma
jority of 3146 ofa total vote of 68,60S By the
rule of three, as 1871 is to 6S6O8 so is 26 to the
total Republican gain. We leave the Argus
to figure it up The Chronicle predicts thai
Newcastle will go for Hartman next Tuesday
