Two important porsopaFes in the senate, however,
and Wilson. The former carly IN the session called
Mr. pomeroy to the chair and retired to
room there TO await the soUSn ui his political for
tunes. Mr. "lison, secure at least in his ,ountora
scat for smother term, whatever the Philadelphia
convention might decide, yet somewhat neryopsy

him ,uoeessfully through every poliuoal contest
whorsln no has been candidate. Both were 10 cpn-

On the part Of the latter, He simply shook Wilson :

Who is only two roats removed from Wilson, when
the decisive dispatch came, observing that the latter
bS mich, road its contents When he discovered that
Wilson, in tho language Of Mr.. Trumbull, who was
then speaking. had been promoted, he turned his
back SQUARE on the fortunate politician and sat in
disgrace aud gloomy reserve from that minute until
the senate took q recess, The csusc Of his ilycOu-
ceacd chsgrin can only be explained in the fact that
Wilson has olton charged him with being worse On
envy TO the Republican party than any who were
openly Hrraycd against IL, and the only scalps the
New York senator carried in his belt were those ot
his political friends Wilson was also the means Of

There il some speculation here tonight as to how
the defeat of Mr. CefaX will be received by the par
~ at large and whether Wilson will bring any new
strength 10 the Grant ticket. 1t is generally con-
cedcd that
iNDiiSt WILL ~ LOST,
And that Wilson will only add to the ticket in those
quarters whore no addition was necessary, 1t is also
suggested that the moral drawn from the change will
be that the convention only sghted that part Of the
sdministrati0r which had no patronage to dispense
in order to have small revenge FOR being COM
PEELED 10 swallow that other rart which dispenscs all
the Offices,
