Senatorial Statistics.

The Madison Journal, publishes several
columns of interesting political statistics
'in respect to the senatorial elections which
have been held in this state, since the ex-
lstance of state government. The politi-
cal party phases of each year are given,
and the whole makes paper which
ought to be preserved for future reference.
The following have been the United
States Senators elected from this state
The state was admitted into the Union in
May, 1848. The Legislature of that year
elected two United States Senators, giz:-
HENRY DODGE, and ISAAC P. WALKER.
Dodge was nominated on the sixth ballot
and Walker on the fourth; both democrats
The senators were so classified that, Dodge
held for three years and Walker one year.
In 1849, the Free Soil party had be-
come quite formidable. and the contest for
the Senatorship was considerably mixed.
Isaac P. Walker then supposed to have
Free Soil proclivities was elected United
Senator. The prevailing sentiment of the
Democratic party at that time, was decid-
eddy anti-slavery. Before the adjourn
ment of the Legislature which elected
Walker, he was asked by resolution to re-
sign, for having given vote in the Senate
which sayored of pro-slavery tendencies.
In 1851, the term of Henry Dodge hav-
ing expired he was reelected by near
ly unanimous vote, being classified Dem
ocrat.
En1855, The Republican and Democratic
parties, were nearly equally balanced in
the Legislature. After the holding Of
several caucuses without decisive result
Charles Durkee was at length nominated
and elected as an anti-slavery Republican
In 1857, there was spirited contest fol-

The Democratic problem whether ne
gro is man or monkey? seems now to
depend, for its solution upon that other
problem, to which class johnson office
holder may be said to belong. For it APP
pears that Mr. Johnsons Postmaster Gen
eral has blundered into good step of ap-
pointing negro as postmaster in Vir-
ginia for no other reason than because he
was competent. Passing over the ques-
ion whether Dir. johnson can afford to
tolerate SO obvious an irregularity in the
grounds for the selection of office holders,
we have to note that it now devolves upon
the Virginia ethnologists to demonstrate
this black Things capacity for undertak
ing the duties of a responsible human
being.-N. Y Tribune.

THURSDAY, JANUARY %, 1869.
The Senatorial Contest.

The contest for the United States Sena
torship, was characterized by greater earn
estness and spirit, than any ever before
in Wisconsin But happily there are nc
animosities left, which have grown GU
of this rivalry. AS we said weeks before
the determination of this question, there
would nothing occur in connection with the
senatorial issue, calculated to disturb the
harmony of Republicans; 50 has the pre-
dictions bee n verified. Though the can
vass enlisted strong feelings, it was con
Quoted with cour tesy and gentlemanly
bearing. There may have been in
dividual exceptions to this, among the
more ardent friends of the candidates
but gthey were temporary ebulitions OF
feeling, which doubtless ere this have
subsidized.
Mr.. Washburn the chief competitor of
Mr. Carpenter for the office, has lost none
of the respect or confidence of the people
because of his failure to secure the Sena-
torshlp He enjoys wide reputation for
patriotism and integrity, and will contin-
ue to exercise as heretofore, an influential
position in the House of Representatives,
to which he was elected by an over
whelming majority of the elecors of his
district in November last. It was an OBJ
lection in the minds of some, that Mr.
Washburn was already member of Con
gress, and that his usefulness could not be
materially enhanced, by transferring him
to the Senate.
Mr.. Rublee, who received q handsome
vote, can hardly be said to have been a
candidate, by any act or personal effort on
his part. The vote he received was en-
tirely spontaneous it was through no So
hcitation of his, or of friends acting I'M
der his advisement. The good services
he has rendered the republican cause, in
past years will not be forgotten. Messrs
Waldo and Salomon who each received a
respectable vote, were not early known
as candidates. They are faithful and true
men, and competent to discharge the
highest positions of trust.

SINGULAR Casa correspondent of
the Chicago Tribune reports the following
singular case in Burlington, Racine Coun-
ty. The case is that of young girl NAM
ed Minnie Rasche, about fourteen years
of age. She told her parents that. she
was going to sleep, and that they mustnot
bury her as she would not be dead. She
then apparently died, but since that time,
for nineteen days, she has lain in trance
in her coffin. No signs Of life can be
discovered about her, only that there is
no signs of decay, only a sinking of the
cheeks, as there might be in any case
from so long an abtin nee from food. The
case is attracting great attention.

ANOTHER great material enterprise
follows fast after the Pacific Railroad
toward completion. The road was
finished on Monday; the Suez canal
will be finished in 1870. Its engin,
eer, nj. LEssEPs, proposes a grand
celebration of the event, and a part
of his programme is an excursion
around the world by party of rep
resentatives of all nations, to the
number of one hundred. They will
meet next Spring in Paris; thence go
to Egypt and open the canal; thence
to China aad Japan. across the Pacific
Ocean to San Francisco, and thence
across the continent to New York.
The excurtionists will prove by prac-
teal experiment how the railroad and
canal will have simpliied and short
ened the process of putting a girdle
round about the earth.

CONSIDERABLE hullabaloo has beer

CONSIDERABLY hullabaloO has been
made about GRANTS appointment of
a score or two Of army officers to act
as Indian agents In conjunction with
the Quakers. 1t was sure sign of
a coup detdt." GRANT was getting
ready to make himself Emperor by
means of the army" and all that. 1t
turns out, however, that these army
appointments were made mainly on
the score of economy. The officers
so appointed were without exception
those who had been thrown out of
their positions by the consolidation
of the army and were drawing their
pay for doing nothing. 1t was rather
a brilliant thought to put them to
work, and besides it was simply re-
deeming the Presidents pledge that
he would try to provide ciUil places
for worthy military officers who
should be thrown out of employment
by the consolidation bill.

know that he has such a fruitful
theme for his Juvenile pen as the

possible from journalistic expression
of public sentiment, we are content
to leave the youthful genius to pur-

A solid Fact.

Private dispatches were received
here on Saturday announcing that the
first cargo Of grain this season, ship
ped by barges to New Orleans and
thence by the bark John Geddes, had
arrived at Liverpool 10 first rate
order, having made the trip in TWEEN
ty.six days The shippers have a
very handsome margin, and will make
a good profit. Other cargoes are
already on the way. and there Is still
a large quantity OF wheat at New Or
leans 10 the elevator under contract
for shipment. .ars
May 14th, Dubuque wheat is landed
at Liverpool via ST. Louis and New
Orleans. Nov, this same wheat, if
sent By way of Chicago, would still
be tossing on the lakes, or else lying
In elevator, for navigation has barely
opened as yet. 1t would be at least
month later-say June 15th-befOre
the luekiest shipper could land and
realize on his first cargo. A month s
difference of time makes a difference
ia money to men who try to handle
large quantities Of grain, and Ia this
difference of time and interest on the
investment there is a small, but GER
tain, margin in favor of the river
route.
Again, the same grain, if shipped
at the same time to Chicago, would
have paid 544 cents for transporta-
tion to New York alone; or, if
shipped under the new contracts
which Chicago papers say have just
been made, would have p3id about 60
cents for freights to Liverpool From
Dubuque to Liverpool, via New Or
leans. the cargo of the John Geddes
paid less than 40 cents, and other con-
tracts have since been made forssmuch
less. With a margin of 20 cents
saved on freight, it is not strange that
shippers begin to comprehend that
the river route has some merits. All
the sneering in the world will not
push the facts out of sight.-M. Louis

The RATIFICATION Illustrated by DEM
OeFatfc Precedent.

We have heretofore referred to the
BR1aHT and FIToH case in the United
States Senate in order to the better
understand the legality of the pro-
ceedings Of the recent action of the
General Assembly OF this State IN
the ratification of the Fifteenth /
Amendment. In order that our
readers may judge for themselves as
to its application to the question
arising in the present case, we give
the facts in that memorable coEtro
versy. 1t is interesting to know how
Democratic precedents have pro-
vided for these intricate constitu
tional questions. A majority Of the
State Senate In 1857 were Republi
cans, who cast the vote of the Senate
for LANE and MORTON; while the
House, which was under Democratic
control, voted for BRIGHT and FITCH.
On joint ballot the Democrats would
have a majority; but the Senate re-
fused to go into joint session with
the House. Thereupon the Demo
cratic minority of the Senate marched
over to the House, and uniting with the
Democrats there, proceeded to elect
FITCH and BRIGHT Senators to Con-
gress, casting for them a majority of
the votes of both houses conformity.
Their seats were contested on the
ground that only a minority of the
Senators had voted in the joint SEES
sion, and, therefore, they were not
legally elected. 1t was not pretended
that a quorum Of the Senate, or even
majority of it, took part in the joint
session. Nevertheless, it was decided
by the Senate Of the United States
that FIrCH and BRIGHT were duly
elected, because a majority o all the
members elect had voted for them,
and snat in the election of United
States Senators, Congress was not
bound by the provisions of State Con-
situations made to govern ordinary
State legislation. Such was the deci-
sion of a Democratic Senate, Vice
President BRECKINRIDGE presiding.
In the case before US a majority of a
full house of each branch of the Indi-
ana Legislature voted for the ratifea-
ton of the Fifteenth Amendment,
and more than a quorum of all the
members claiming, or entitled to,
seats when the vote was taken, were
present in each house. and took part
