NEW SENATOR'S.

Several States, have recently cleo
ted United States Senators to fill va
cancies that occur on the 4th of
March next. Massachusetts has re-
elected Henry Wilson, the "Natick
Cobbler." Governor Clayton goes
from Arkansas in place of Mcdonald.
Windham is elected in Minnesota, and
Ferry in Michigan. John A. Logan
takes the place of drunken Dick Yates
in Illinois. Mr.. Trelinghuysen has
managed to get back into the Senate
from New Jersey, which will explain
the reason why he declined the Eng
lish Mission. Morrill, is reelected in
Maine and Salisbury in Delaware
Frank Blair takes brakes place in
Missouri. Only the last two are Dem
ocrats, one of whom is Democratic
gain. Some of these Senator'S are i'm
prOvcments Oh their predecessors, and
in some cases the States have done
worse than before. Clayton, though a
Republican, is much more liberal than
Mcdonald and was elected because of
his opposition to any longer disfran-
chising Southern men. John A Lo-
gan, though little more sober than
Yates, is Radical of a yindictive type,
as most renegade Democrats are. He
is said, however, to be free-trader,
and ready to join the Revenue reform
movement. This we Goub., as he is
one of Grants chief fuglemen in the
House, and was his choice for the Sen
ate. He has considerable political eX-
perience, having been in Congress for
the last fifteen years.
The election of General T. p. Blair,
Jr., will be exceedingly gratifying to
the Democracy throughout the coun-
try. 1t is cit that Drake, the author of
the proscriptive Constitution of Mis-
souri,, should be beaten by the man
whose boldncss and determination have
done so much towards rendering its
obnoxious features nugatory. Blair
was raised in a school of politics in
which his father, Colonel Benton and
others were leaders in the good old
Jackson times. Though reared Jack
son Democrat he strayed off into free
soilism with Mr.. Van Buren, but has
finally found his way back to his old
faith at the age of fifty. He has been
in the Legislature of Missouri, in the
House of Representatives of the United
States and Major General in the Fed
eral army. He is decided opponent
of Grant and goes into the Senate with
a firm belief that Grant is aiming at
dictatorial powers. He will prove q
troublesome customer for the Radicals
to handle.

The Motley-Fish correspondence
will be before the Senate in a day or
so, probably to-day. The letters are
said to be both sharp and spicy, and
will be highly relished by those who
enjoy such dainty morsels, and who
have no regard for the dignity of the
Senate or the Government officials.
The Senate chamber is hardly the
place for the Radical wranglers to
wash their dirty linen. The reading
of the correspondence will injure
both Grant and Motley. Fish was
only acting as the tool of Grant in
the furtherance Of his petty spite to-
wards Sumner by hitting his friend
Motley. Grant evidently has an
other job on the tapis. He wants

FROM SOUTH AFRICA.

We notice among the soiourners
at Salt Lake our old friend J. H.
Riley, long the Washington CORES
pondent of the San Francisco Alta,
and other California papers. Mr..
Riley is about to make a visit to
California, having just returned
from a trip to the diamond mines Of
South Africa. Riley is a rambler
over the earth, having visited nearly
every portion of it. The Salt Lake
Tribune says Of the Diamond region:
HE describes the country as tenn
ing with wealth, awaiting the inves-
tigatins pick andshovel ofthem miner.
Precious stones Of all varieties and
gold are found in the broad district
North of Cape town. There is al
ready 4 mining community Of about
twenty Thousand souls. amoug whom
are perhaps one hundred Americans,
mostly old C~Iliforniaus who are ac-
cumulating fortunes with great rap
idity. Mr.. Riley exhibited to Us a
splendid lot Of diamonds, opals,
emoralds, etc. which lie gathered in
South Africa. He has been appoint
Ell Consul General of the New State

sources and prospects Of the African

BEWARE OF Z

The citizens of Eureka have taken
measures TO insure the safety CT that
town against fire, by the appoint
ment of Fire Wardens. authorized
to inspect all stove pipes and take
other measures to prevent a cOnfiag-
ration. This action is timely. and
one which should be followed by the
residents of every town or village in
the State. The Fire Eiend seems to
be in the ascendency this year, all
over the country. 1t is ayear which
will be memorable for c0nfiagra-
tions. 1t would be well for the
people of CarsoR-every one of them
to make an inspection of his in
dividual dwelling and see that every
pipe, chimney, II tiue is in the
proper condition. At this season of
the year more than any other. this
precautien IS necessary. Carson
has been singalarly fortunate thus
far. but We should not rest satisfied
with simply a good fire department.,
but every man and woman should
be constantly on guardto avoid such
a disaster in the future.

THE NORTHERN PACIFIC RAILROAD.

The Northern Pacific Railroad
moved very slowly for a long time
after its charter was granted, but it
seems nowto be under full Roadway,
and making up for past delays. We
are SO far removed from the line of
the road that but comparatively little
information reaches us here as to the
extent of the great work, and of
the rapidity with which it is being
executed. Interests and information
alike move on parallel lines of lati-
tude. When they depart from them
they expend their forces slowly.
Hence We hear little of the Northern
Pacific, and still less of the South
ern, though both are being rapidly
extended across the continent.
The track is now about completed
across the State of Minnesota, 80
miles, the grade being wholly finish
ed, and the track-layers approaching
the Red River at the rate Of three
miles Il day. Regulartrains arerun-
ming over the completed sections.
Contracts have been let for the con
struction of the Dakota division
extending 200 miles westward from
the crossing of Red River to the
crossing Of the Missouri. which will
be completed by the LIST of July
next. Contracts have been let for
the construction of Il branch from
St. Cloud, - miles north of St.
Paul. to Pembina. on the British
border, which viii be completed in
about fifteen months. This branch
will drain the richest portions of the
Red River Valley. The completion
of these contracts will give the
Northern Pacific Company, at the
close of next year, 900 miles of road
in the fertile and prosperous State
of Minnesota; it Will carry the trunk
line of the great thoroughfare nearly
one-third of its distance across the
continent, and will bring to the
Northern Pacific Road the large and
profitable traffic of Montana, and the
Government transportation of the
upper Missouri. Settlers are said to
be rapidly occupying the lands along
the route. On the 1st of January
next nearly two millions of ere of
the finest lands in Minnesota will be
placed in market by the Company.

A dispatch from Winnemucca says:

\ party just in from Canyon City,
Oregon, report having seen a white
boy, apparently about fifteen years of
age, with the Indians in the mountains
north of Black Rock. The Indians are
supposed to be Banneeks. The boy
refused to go with the party, or even
converse with them. The party are
of the opinion that the captive is the
child taken by the Indians in 1861 at
Humboldt Canyon, near where the
House stands.
