THE NEXT SENATE.

The Washington correspondent of the New
York Tribune says the changes in the United
States Senate are attracting attention and
creating speculation. The Democrats are
counting on securing IL Senators. There are
10 Democrats in the present Senate, of whom
Messrs. McCreery, Johnston. and Salisbury
retire. 1t is probable that not one of them
will be reelected. Mr.. McCreery, however,
may have a chance, should Gov. Stephenson
be rejected ON account of his participation in
the Rebellion, as is deemed possible. Nc
Creery has also announced himself as can
didate for the succession to his colleagues
Garrett Davis) seat, vacant on the 4th of
March, 1873. His Lee-Arlington resolution,
he believes, will secure an election, should
Gov. Stephenson not be allowed to take his
seat Four of the additional Democratic Sen
ators are elected from Alabama, North Caro-
lima, Oregon, and Tennessee, and the others
arc expected from West Virginia, missouri,
and Georgia. In no case can they obtain
more than one from the Latter State, as no
matter which of the contestants, whose claims
are now before the Senate Judiciary Commit
tee, may be admitted, the Senator holding
over until 1878 is sure to be Republican
In the one case it is Joshua Hill, and in the
other it IL Col. Farsom. If the first two con-
testants are admitted, Mr.. Miller's terms ev-
pires with this Congress. If the last two, Mr..
Whitley will only remain till the 4th of March,
when he viii take the seat In the House to
which he has just been elected. The Demo-
cratic Senator, if one be one be sent here,
must be elected by the new Legislature. 1t
is conceded by those who know the Demo-
cratic Senators elect, that they will strengthen
their party. Judge Golathwaite is considered
able; Kelley of Oregon is good debater and
manager; Vance of North Carolina is con-
ceded TO be able, while Cooper is intellectual,
i by Ill accounts-an Improvement on his pre-
decessors; Faulkner of West Virginia and
Blair of Missouri, should they be sent here by
their party, win add positive strength to the
opposition. The Senate then, as it will stand
~o4 the Al Of March next, will have ffty-eight
&Repnblicans and sixteen Democrats, while the
Nadmission of Colorado, which is probable,
viii add two to the Republican total. There

4 SINGULAR CASE.

case Of unusual interest has lust been de-
cided in the Supreme Court of Illinois. Dur
ing the first year Of the war, when General S.
B. Buckner, OF kentucGey, entered the Con-
federate service, In order to protect himself
against confscation he and Mrs. Bcckner con
veyed to the brother OF the latter, Henry
Kingsbury, the large estate In Illinois which
Mrs. Buckner had inherited from her father.
Mr. Kingsbury was an officer in the United
States army, and was killed at the battle Of
Sharpsburg. A month or two after his death
his widow gave birth to son, whose guardians
claimed that he was entitled TO the whole
property, there being no documentary proof
his sister. Mrs. Buckner, and the court so
adjudged. 1t appeared subsequently that Col
onel Kingsbury, before going to Sharpsburg,
made written disposition Of the whole prop
erty, which amounted to will, In which he
beQueathed one-third of the estate 10 his sister,
Mrs. Buckner. This will was admitted TO pro-
bate and duly recorded, and Mrs. Buckner In
stituted proceedings for the recovery Of her
property, alleging that tie deed which she and
General BucEner made o her brother was in
reality only deed OF trust, and that the be-
quest of the will was tulilment of it, though
IL only gave her one-third, while, In fact, she
was entitled to one-half, accounting for the
discrepancy by the mistaken belief OF her
brother, that be, Mrs. B. and their mother
were entitled to equal portions. The guar
dians of the child insisted that the will was not
valid one, and that the deed of conveyance
to Colonel Kingsbury was absolute, and not
trust deed. The Supreme. Court of Illinois
have quite recently decided that the deed to
Kingsoury was trust deed, and ordered the
restoration OF the estate to Mrs. Buckner.
The property was situated In Chicago, and be-
tore the fire was valued at upwards of a mil
lion Of dollars. We are sincerely glad that
General Buckner has recovered his property,
and hope that it was not included in the late
devastating fire.
