Profit and Loss.


THE eliminating battle Of the Rebellion has
been fought and won, and we can now cali
our rolls discover the extent OF our losSeS'
and take an account of our booty.
To heein, we hsve gained the Presidency.
Andrew Johnson will retire into oblivion on
the 4th Of March next, and with him will go
Horatio Seymour and Frank Blair, to be heard
of no more for some time to come. With the
Presidency we gain also hearty accord be-
tween the executive aud legislative branches
OF the Government. Congress will no longer
be at swords point with the Chief Magistrate,
the veto business will cease to exist, and i'm
peachment will enter into history aud remain
there. With the changes in the Cabinet
which will follow President Grants sinauguration
will come likewise a gaud sweep of all their
subordiuates, both at Washington and through
out the country, the whole machinery OF tho
Government being brought into sympathy
with the will and wishes of the majority.
In the national Senate there will be but
little change numerically, but 1t will be, on
the whole, of a very satisfactory character.
In the next session Of the Fortieth Congress,
every State of the Uuion will be fully repre-
sented, except Mississippi, Texas, aud Viz
einia, which are not yet reconstructed. The
total number of Senators is 6S, OF whom 55
are Republicans and 13 Democrats. To the
latter category might for all practicable pur-
poses, be added the names OF Fowler, Ross,
and Van Wrinkle, changing the figures to 81
and 16. The terms of % Senators will expire
on the 4th of March, 16 OF them being Repnb-
ucans and Democrats. In their places will
oome Is Republicans and Democrats, giving
the former total in the new Senate OF 81,
and the latter IL only. We may possibly
have lost the Legislature of Arkansas, in
which event Senator Mcdonald may be sue
ceeded by Democrat, aud the division stand
Sc to IL. Only six of the new Senator'S have
been elected thus far-Casserly, Democrat,
from California, to succeed Conpess, Republi-
can; Thurman, Democrat, from Ohio,
to succeed Wade, REPUBLICAN,; Hamilton,
Democrat, from Maryland, to succeed Whyte,
of the same faith; Gilbert, Republican, from
Florida, to succeed Welch, also Republican,
Edmunds, Republican, of Vermont, who has
been reelected; aud Brownlow, Republican,
of Tennessee, to succeed Patterson, the
Democratic son-iu-law of Andrew john
son. TO these two Republican losses
will be added the new Senator from
New jersey in the place of Frelinghuysen,
who will prob bly, be the Hon. John ?. Stock
ton, once elected, but in such an irregular
fashion that his seat was given to Senator
Cattell. This loss of three Republicans il
more than compensated for by the election OF
Parson Brownlow, and gain of four others
from the following Staes:-From Penusyl-
vania, to succeed Buekalew; from Con-
necticut to succeed Dixon; from 10
diana, to succeed Hendricks; and from
Wisconsin, to succeed Dooitte. Hen
derson of Missouri, and Van Wrinkle Of
West Virginia, also retire, giving place to two
sound men of the true faith. The other Rs-
publican Senators whose terms expire are
Morrill, of Maine, Sumner of Massachusetts,,
Chandler of Michigan, Ramsey of Minnesota
Stewart of Nevada, Morgan of New York,
Sprague of Rhode Island, aua Upton of Ne
braska. All Of these will probably bs re-
elected, except Morgan; but the latter will not
have Horatio Seymour for successor.
All the members of thu new House of Re pre-
sentatives have been elected, except the single
member from Florida, the four from New
Hampshire, and the three from Connecticut.
The election In the latter State will take pl 400
ON the second Tuesday in March, in Conneoti-
out en- the first Monday in April, and in
Florida some time in January. The New
Hampshire and Florida delegations will be
Republican, as will also be half of that from
Connecticut. IucludiDg these probable results,
the lower houses of the Fortieth and Forty.
