How Senators are Chosen.

The method OF selecting United States
Senators, prescribed in the act OF Con
gress of July 18th, 1866, is in brief as
follows:
That each house shall, by riud uoce
vote of each member present. name u
person for Senator on the second Tues
day after the meeting and organization
thereof On the day following the
houses shall meet in joint assembly, and.
if the same person shall have received q
majority Of all the votes cast In each
house, he shall be declared duly elected
Senator Of the United States; but, ifnot.
then the joint assembly shall proceed to
choose, by a viva voce vote, u person for
that purpose, aud the person who shall
receive majority of all the votes Of the
joint assembly, majority Of the mem
bers Of each house being present., shall
be declared duly elected. Ifsuch Senator
il not elected OH the first day, the joint
assembly shall meet and take at least
one vote per day during the session Of
the Legislature. Similar provisions are
made in cases Of vacancies occurring.
The Governor has no other part in the
proceeding than the certifying the cleo
ton to the President Of the United
States"

Growth Of Monopoly.

The greatest piece of railroad consOli
dation yet accomplished is now about to
take place, under decision of Chaucel-
lor Zabriskie, of New Jersy, vacating all
injunction restraining the directors of
the New Jersey and Camden & Amboy
Railroads., and Delaware and Raritan
Canal, from leasing their roads and
canal for 500 years to the Pennsylvan Ia
Central. A late act Of the New Jersey
Legislature empowered them to do so
by vote Of the majority Of the stock.
holders, the dissenting minority to be
paid the full value OF their stock. The
minority, however, refused to be paid
of, and filed bill praying for a perpet-
ual injunction. This the Chancellor
has denied in an elaborate decision. in
which he atfirms the power Of the
Legislature to authorize the lease ,ot the
directors to make it, aud of the Penn
sylvania Central to take 1t, and RENTS
the discontinued stockholders to the
acceptance Of payment for their shares,
and discards Is Of no force in the eyes OF
the court the objections to the transac
ton on grounds Of public policy-such
o. the size and strength Of the monopo-
~ it will create. The judgment is,
perhaps, one Of the most important ever
pronounce from the American bench:
and the New jersey courts are above
suspicion even in cases of this magni
tude. The Pennsylvania Central, al
ready q gigantic corporation, nov owns
al unbroken line OF communication.
with numerous tributaries, from ocean
to ocean, has the revenues ola European
kingdom of the third order. employs al
army Of officials, aud will hereafter be
practically om,i potent in the legislatures
of three States, and perhaps more. The
only limit to its p. iitical power may,
indeed, be said to be the unwillingness
Of its managers to take trouble. The
matter is serious, but it is not novel. 1t
is made more serious by the fact to
which we have often drawn attention,
that these great corporations have In
their service the ablest men in the
country, while the State governments,
which are to resist their pretsnsions and
supervise their use Of their privileges.
are served by the feeblest and least
efficient members Of American society.
The position Of the companies is render
ed all the more impregnable, too, by
the practice which has grown up in
many or most Of the States, of keeping
the ablest lawyers off the bench by low
salaries, short terms, and personal abuse
when they render unpalatable decisions.
The lega! mind and the Legislative mind
being of y low order, it Is wonder that
the Scott mind ranges untranmelied
through the whole Of American crea.
ton Nation.

Contrary to general expectation, the
Republican majority in Iowa at the late
election turns the forties. The total
footing of a recent table of majorities by
counties given in the State Ltegister, Is
4l,2e3. 1t is hardly worth while men>
tioning the odd hundreds. Forty-one
thousand Republican majority is quiet
enough, even for Iowa, in the quite
year. In 1872. politics will be much
more lively, and we certainly hope, no
city will burn down on election day.
Then look out for majority which will

In Chicago, as at such time favora-
BILE to the union and concert so greatly
desirable, it was determined to have but
one ticket for county and city officers.
The offices were divided between the
parties by previous agreement, In the
ratio Of about two republicans to one
democrat, and each party central COM
mittee proceeded to fill its allotment
with candidates subject to the approval
Of the other committee. A ticket was
thus made up which is upon all sides
agreed to consist of good and efficient
men, and only such. Joseph Medill, Of
the Tribune, stands at the head as can
didate for Mayor. The Chicago papers
call it The Union Fire-Proof Ticket.
