The SENATORIAL auEsTIoNAT SPRINGFIELD.
Special Despatch to The Chicago Tribune,
sPRNaF1ELD, Ill. Nov. 16.-There is no longer
any doubt felt by politicians here OF all parties
that E. B. Washburne is candidate for the
United States senatorship. His return to this
country just at this time, together with the re-
turn Of J. Russell Jones, and his visit to Dixon
and other places in the northern part Of the
State, have very significant bearing. His
movements have excited apprehensions in.
the minds of oglesby and his
friends, and considerable caucussing
has been going On here last night
, and to-day between them, og1esby having been
summoned here for conference. It is certain
that 0glesby doubts the sincerity Of the Admin
!11a!tratlonists and is therefore, prepared to be-
become SO with perfect understanding that in
he contest he is to haze the influence Of the
President and his followers. One Of WASH
burne's oldest friends assured your correspon-
dent to-day that Washburne would make the
ngtt ng1t ana unless oglesby managed his fight
satiafaction of serving out his time as Governor.

1t cannot be said earth is mans ONLY
abiding place. 1t cannot be that life is a
bubble cast upon the ocean Of eternity, to
float moment upon its surface, and then
sink into darkness and nothingness for
ever. Else, why is it that the high and
glorious aspiration which leap like angels
from the temple Of our hearts are forever
wandering abroad unsatisfied? Why is it
that the rainbow and the cloud come over
MS with beauty that is not Of earth. and
then pass off and leave lis to muse Oh its
faded lovliuess? Why is it that the st Il,
which hold festival around the throne are
set above the grasp OF our limited faculties,
and forever mock lis with their unap-
proaehable glory? And why is it that
forms Of human beauty are presented 10
the view and then taken away from Us,
leaving the thousand streams To flow back
in an Alpine current upon our hearts.

The Government either looked on IN

In Washington, on the I'D Instant, the
House Appropriations Committee devoted
the larger part Of their session TO the sab,
jcct OF restocking the rivers with salmon,
shad and other species Of 1ood-ish, once
abundant, and the introduction Of valuable
foreign species. They gave a hearing TO u
committee Of gentlemen interested in fish
growing, who base their application mainly
on the fact that the rivers of greatest i'm
portance pass between or through different
States. The magnitude Of the business Of
providing for stocking waters with fish is
much larger than is generally supposed, and
the advocates Of government interference
argue that the proposed encouragement OF

and extend industry, and tax no one to any
appreciable extent.
