THE 6AN DOMINGO ROW,

1t appears that majority of the Senate
(the casting vote being given by the Vice
Presideut) are determined not to know, or
at least not to let anybody else know, The
nature of the arguments which have led
to the concoction OF the San Domingo
dicker, lest the time for tatifying the treaty
shall expire, and European governments,
an innumerab1e host of whom are now
trying to buy San Domingo, will snap ap
the island in twinkliug, and it will forever
be lost from the galaxy OF American States.
These Senators, and Vice President, wise
virgins all, would keep their lamps trim
med and burning. lest the thick-lipped
bridegroom, Baez, may come along, catch
their oyelids dropping and their kerosene
gone, 60 in and shut the door, leaving these
Senatorial virgins disconsolate. Or,
perhaps, our Senators may,
more reverent1y, be compared to the
philosopher who WAS engaged at
dark and silent hour of the morning in re-
moving chickens from henroost not his
own. "Do you think this is quite right, "
asked his companion and faithful colabor-
e1. ''That, replied the philosopher, " is

time to consider, Hand down another

The telegraph reports that Oregon has
gone Democratic by about 400 majority on
a full vote, and after an animated canvass,
md that the Legislature is also Democrat
ic,-the Senate by two and the House by
four OF FIVE majority. At the August cleo
tidn, in 1868, the Democrats carried the
Senate by four, and the House by thirteen,
and elected their member of Congress by
1,209 majority. At the Presidential cleo
tiun in November of the same year, the
Republicans made desperate rally for
General Grant, but Seymour beat him by
1c4. The Democratic MINORITY in the Log
islature secures the defeat of Senator Will
iams for reelection, and will doubtless re-
suit in the election OF ex-senator Nesmith,
who is by no means bad MN; but is far
inferior To Mr.. Williams, who is one Of the
rerr best members of the Senate. The
Republicans of Oregon made D gallant
struggle to carry the State and savo their
Senator, of whom they are proud; but the
fatos were ngainst them. They came just
near enough success to nuke defeat bitter
and hard to bear.
