ALABAMA POLITICS.
The United states Senatorial Question.


WASHINGTON, Oct. Z, 1869.
A strong effort Is being made BY the radicals OF
Alabama, profting by the example OF their Ten
nessee and Virginia brethren, 10 heal up the tri-
angular duel at present existing between Senators
Spencer and Warner and Governor Smith, ana thus
the State to their interests far control
ling the new legislative bodies and securing repub
lican successor to Senator Warner, whose term
expires In 1871.
The constitution OF Alabama provides that the
Legislature In existence the year previous to the
Senatorial vacancy snal select United States SEN
ator TO succeed the outgoing incumbent This Is in
accordance with the general law on the subject
and would empower the new Legislature TO be
chosen in August next, to exercise that RESPONSE
bllity; but fearing the increase OF democratic
majorities, as demonstrated at recent elections.
tue slate MAKERS through their present Leglsa-
ture. whose sessions commence next month, propose
to obyae the chances OF defeat, either by repeating
that portion OF the constitution, II 1t can be legally
repealed without submission to the people, or substi-
tutlng an amendment whereby an assembling OF the
new Legislature snail be deferred till January, 1871,
or two months later than the regular al xed date OF
meeting. The senatorial part OF the Legislature is
securely republican,; for onehaf OF the present body
are selected next month TO hold over an
other two years, and as the process or
drawing such names from the oai0t-box Is entrusted
TO radical lngers II Is very easy to conjecture that
those republican senators representing districts
which have since given large democratic maorities
Will somehow be designated as the lucky "hold
oyers.n But In the Assembly the case is different.
There there are l33 representatives that were the
democrats 10 prove successful at the next August
elections and were the Legislature to convene at its
legitimate date OF meeting, tue republicans would

Mr.. VIM. L. BRADLEY,
DEAR SIR have an old clay soil meadow,
of about three acres; and three years ago be-
gin experimenting on it with your phosphate,
by top dressing, with about one-hat barrel OF
the phosphate to the acre. Before the phosphate
was applied, the meadow produced regularly
about IL ton Of hay to the acre. l applied about
the same amount of phosphate each season, SOW
ing it early in the spring. The yield of hay has
steadily increased each year, both in quantity
and quality since l began the treatment with
phosphate, and this summer | cut fully two tons
of hay to the acre. of far better quality than that
grown on the same land in its former impover-
erished condition. l think that this land is now
what would be called rich meadow; whereas
three years since it would hardly pay for now
ing. think hay grown on land manured with
phosphate is worth at least three dollars per ton
more than that grown on ordinary land, without
phoSphate-and l certainly would make that
difference in purchasing to feed my own stock.
| raised fine crop of potatoes on the phosphate
this season, and believe it an excellent manure
for that, and indeed all other crops.
Very truly, &C.,

kinds) Where l used your phosphate, there
was much heavier growth, ana fully three times
