The above list gives twenty-0ne vacan'
cieS for the Forty:seCond Congress. MIR.
Window, Of Minnesota, fills the seat Cby
Governors appointment of Mr. Norton
lately deceased. There are two Demo
Gratis in the lot, and one is F61IHtsr Tex.
Cusc the wrelched punE The seats o.
Messrs. Rcvels, Howell. SlcCreary and
Fowler are already filed Gov. AlcOrn
will occupy the first (he will be, lprc::
sumo, the first white person who served
in the rebel army admitted TO the Senate,
though there are five cx.COntcderate OH
GERS now serving in the House y Gov:
Stevenson is elected for the second and
Judge Cooper for the third. 1t is believed
bv some that Gov. Stevenson will not be
admitted on account Of his very disloyal
war record. Cooper is a Union man,
whose politics are Of the Andy johnson
stripe, and Mr.. Howelps seat is filled by
the election thereto Of the Chief Justice
Of Iowa.
TIE vAC.ANCIES-IIow THEY ARE LIKELY
TO De FILLED.
The Alabama Republicans in Congress
were confident Of re:clecting Gen. War
ner. They might fight stronger man
among themselves, and not 60 very lar.
Gov. Smith, a Republican. but mild and
mickey, would like the reversiOn. Rep
resentative Buckley is the most promis.
ing man in the delegation, with great pur-
ity of character and considerable ability,
he would he good Senator. A Rcpubli-
can NAV be set down from Alabama.
So also with Arkansas! AT present
writing Senator Mcdonald has the best
chance for the reverSiOn Of his own. seal.
Gov. Powell Clayton wants it. Agar ago
he was following Sentcr's footsteps; now
he "out-Herods Herod" in his Radicalism
"a good sign that Arkansas is sound on
Republicanfsm. Your correspondent hopes
TO see Mac" back, and believes he will
continue to grow rs he has done in use.
fuIncss; always faithful, he IS worthy OF
reelection.
Salisbury will certainly not come back
here even IL little Delaware's cOlOred Vot.

Richard Yates return Gen. Logan would
like to have that dish Of cream served up
for his DEDICATION, but for my own part
! hope thatPalmer or OgleSby may be sent.
The State might do itself great credit, us
well as send wise and competent Sena.
tor here, il Joseph Melile Of the Chicago
Tribune should be elected To Yates place.
4 Republican will he elected, 50 much is
certain. The same eau bc said OF Kansas.
whoever is Mr.. Ross successor. Coy.
Morrill, Of Maine Is expected to succeed
himself, though Gov. Chamberlain would
like the place. 1t is not probable that
any serious opposition will be made 10
Mr.. Wilson's reelection in Massachusetts,
nor Judge Towards Of Michigan either.
Mr.. Window will probably be elected in
Minnesota, and John NJ. Thayer expects
to return from Nebraska.
Nebraska is not deemed doubtful by
our political sOOthsaycrs, yet in States
whose growth is sunden and rapid, poll
tics nrc not always deterninable from the
last election returns. Mr.. Cattell is not q
candidate for reelection, and it is thought
certain that Democrat will take his
place. Gen. Abbott hopes the Republi.
Guns will carry North Carolina, but that
result is uncertain. Mr.. Williams is de.
ieated, and probably ex-senator Mes
NTH, Democrat, will take his place.
Robertson, Of South Carolina, may be re.
elected, but appearances indicate either
that n c0lOred man, like Carbon. Secrc-
taIy Of State, or perhaps Gov. Scott, II
reelected MS the Executive, will he his
successor. The Senator will he Radical
Republican, whoever it mAy be. Fowler,
Of Tennessee, is rclegated TO private life;
Johnston, Of Virginia. will be, by the
election Of Governor Walker, probably,
to the Senate in his place. Mr.. Wiley
expects to be returned. ~,
| have not mentioned Louisiana, be.
cause the result is doubtful there. SO my
calculation gives, out Of twcnty.One va.
cancics in the Senate-t0ur already filled
two Republicans and two Democrats.
Eleven out OF the remaining eighteen will
certainly be Republicans, making thirteen
certain; while three will be Democrats,
making surc,ot five ofthat ilk. That leaves
three in doubt: Abbott, N. C.; Cattell, n.
j., and Harris, La., with the probability
that two will be Democrats, making in all
seven, thirteen Republicans and one
doubtful.
The Senate will then stAnd-giving the
doubtful one To the opposition, not
counting the Georgia Senators Republi-
cans. 81; Democrats, IL. So it will re-
muin until the commencement OF the
FOrty.third Congress, when twenty.thrcc
Senators will vacatc their places.
