/ Terms, by Mail, in Advance
Elections OF United States Senators.

From the N. Y. Evening Post-Radical.l
The terms of twenty four United
States Senators expire in March, 1873,
namely: Spencer, of Alabama; Rice,
Of Arkansas; Cole, Of California; Fer.
ry, of Connecticut; Osborn, Of Florida !;
Hill, OF Georgia; Trumbull, Of Illinois :;
Morton, of Indiana Harlan, Of Iowa |;
Pomeroy, of Kansas; Davis, Of Ken
lucky; Kellogg, of louisiana Wick
ers, of Maryland; Blair, of Missouri /;
Nye, OF Nevada; Patterson, Of New
Hampshire; Conkliug, of New York !;
Poole, OF North Carolina; Sherman, of
Ohio; Corbett, of Oregon; Cameron, Of
Pennsylvania; Sawyer, of South Caro-
lima; Morrill,, Of Vermont, and Howe
of Wisconsin. All Of them are Repub-
licans except Davis, Vickers and Blair.
There is now vacancy in Georgia.
Mr.. Foster Blodgett was elected but not
admitted, and the vacancy will be filled
by the Legislature, which elects Senator
Hills successor, unless Blodgett shall
be admitted next winter. A vacancy in
Alabama will probably be filled by the
appointment of the Governor, and the
Senator will, OF course, be Democrat.
There is vacancy in North Carolina,
caused by the refusal OF the Senate to
admit Vance.
In Alabama and Arkansas the Leg
islatures which choose Senators will not
be elected until next year. In both
States the Republicans are quarreling
so bitterly that two Democrats will
probably succeed Spencer and Rice.
The present Legislature in Alabama
has large Republican majority, but it
elected Goldthwaite, a Democrat, to
succeed Senator Warner last winter
through the influence of Senator
Spencer.
California will elect full House Of
Representatives and one-half the Senate
at the State election September 5. This
Legislature will choose Senator Cole s
successor. The present Legislature has
a large Democratic majority, and as
one-half the Senate will hold over, it
will be difficult for the Republicans to
elect majority. The Democrats, how
ever, are much divided, and the Re-
publicans have a popular State ticket,
which will no doubt help them.
Connecticut will doubtless elect a
Republican, but will probably not re-
elect Senator Ferry. The Legislature
will be chosen next spring. New
Hampshire also elects a Legislature
next spring, which will choose Senator
Pattersons successor. The State is
doubtful, but Mr.. Patterson is a good
Senator, and can possibly be elected ii
be is a candidate.
Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Kansas,
Louisiana, Missouri, Nevada, North
Carolina, Pennsylvania, South Carolina
and Vermont will elect in 1872 the
Legislatures which are to choose United
States Senators. 1t is doubtful whether
the Republicans OF Florida can re-elect
Senator Osborn, as the Democrats have
made heavy gains in that State. The
Democrats carried Georgia by more
than thirty thousand majority last year,
and the Legislature to be elected next
year will probably choose two Demo
Gratis. Senator Hill, however, is Con-
servative Republican and generally &C.
ceptable; he ma, possibly be returned.
Senator Trumbull has as yet no oppo,
sition in Illinois, whose Legislature
will, of course, be Republican. The
present Legislature of Indiana is Dem:
ocratic, and if it shall be understood
that Senator Morton is candidate for
reelection, the Democrats will proba'
bly, keep the Legislature next year and
elect Democratic Senator in his place.
Mr.. Hendricks is their most prominent
candidate. The quarrel among the Re,
publicans of Louisiana will undoubtedly
give that State to the Democrats. SEN
ator Blair will be reelected in Missouri
unless the proscriptionists shall be re-
jected by the administration. The
Democrats elected the Governor, Con-
gressmen and majority OF the Legs,
lature in Nevada last year, but Senator
Nye is an energetic worker where his
own interests are concerned, and may
succeed in obtaining a reelection.
North Carolina will probably eject a
Democrat in the place OF Mr.. Pool.
Oregon will undoubtedly send a Demo,
crat to succeed Senator Corbett. Penn
sylyania is doubtful. Senator Cameron
thinks he can be reelected, but the
Democrats say that they can defeat
him. 1t is said that Ex-Governor Cur
tin will also be candidate. South
Carolina and Vermont will choose Re
publcans, and probably Messrs. Saw
yer and Morrill, will be re elected.
Iowa will elect one.halfthe State Sen
ate and a full House Of Representa-
tiyes in October. The sessions OF the
Legislature are biennial, and Senator
will be elected next winter. The Re
publicans have large majority IN the
State, and cannot fail to elect the Sem
ator unless the quarrel about candidates
divides them. Senator Harlan wants to
be reelected, but Mr.. VIM. b. Alllson'
a reform Republican, seems to be more
popular man. ~
Kentucky has just elected Demo
cratic Legislature, which will choose a
senator next winter. Mr.. Garrett Da-
Wis will probably not be reelected.
Governor Leslie appears to be the ia
vorite candidate. Mr. j. Proctor Knott
who is also one ofthe Bourbon leaders,
has MANY friends. Mr.. James B. Beck,
a more liberal Democrat, is named, but
Kentucky Legislatures do not tolerate
liberal ideas, and he probably does not
expect to succeed.
Mar, land will elect new House OF
Representatives and one-half the Sem
