ALBANY. Jan. Is, 1879.
The calm which succeeds the storm is the condition
OF Albany to-day. There Is really nothing doing nor
anything talked about The Senatorial question
being virtualy settled the winners are not in
ciined to boast and the losers are too
dumb with amazemcnt to say anything. Very large
sums Of money have passed out OF the hands OF
many Morgan men who were so confident OF success
that they put up heavy stakes at dangerous odds up
to the last moment. l heard OF one man, perhaps
the most prominent OF Morgan's adherents In New
York, who rose on Sunday morning 5000 poorer
than he was the previous might. such disasters.
together with the loss Of once and patronage. are
not to be borne calmly. Christian philosophy does not
provide against such caiamties. The MorganItes rely
now for pap on Roscoe Conkling. The crtmb Of
comfort they take to themselves is that he has ten
times more influence in the Senate than Fenton can
ever acquire. who Ia not appreciated by Wade, Sum-
ner, Chandler and other eminent radical Senators.

Certain It Is that out OF the dfty-hve members

Friday night fifteen deserted hin when the crisis
came. Morgan's alliance with Seward and Weed
and mis- intimate connection with the whiskey rings
were. perhaps, the real causes OF his defeat. How
