THE SENATE.
Anticipated Changes from All the States.

Washington Special Dispatch to the New
York World
The forthcoming Senatorial elections
in the State Legislatures which have the
choice of Senators for the terms begin
ming March 4, 1873, are already causing
much interest tnd speculation. Morton
telegraphs TO his friends here that the
Republican majority Of the new Indiana
Legislature are pledged TO his re-elee-
ton. Cameron has "fixed things - with
equal certainty in Pennsylvania. II
the Republicans carry the Illinois
Legislature, Mr.. Trumbulrs politi-
cal career may be temporarily sus-
pended. 1t is known that Governor
Oglesby is a candidate for tie succession,
and that General Beveridge accepted
the second place on the Illinois Republi-
can state ticket with the understanding
that Oglesby was 10 go to the Senate
and leave the GovernOrship to him.
POmerOy Is making desperate struggle
i'm Kansas TO re-eiect himself There is
a strong opposition TO him in his own
party. Ben. Butler is pluming himself
for Wilson's seat, in case that veteran
demagogue succeeds in his Vice-Presi-
Dental aspirations. Senator Frank p.
Blair, Of Missouri, will undoubtedly be
reelected, but Sawyer, of South Caro-
lima, who has cast his fortunes with
the boilers faction in that State, will
not. The corruptionist Moses, who has
just been elected Governor Of South
Carolina, has promised the Senatorship
10 Elliott, the present representative Of
the Third district, negro of the Congo
type, and bad, mischievous fellow.
Nye is very anxious about his re-elec-
ton. He has several Republican COM
petitors. The Democrats expect to elect
Democratic Senators to succeed the pres
ent Republican Senators from Georgia,
North Carolina, New York, Alabama,
Arkansas and Florida. 1t is understood
that Warmoth will be elected from Lou
isiana If the Democrats and Liberals
elect the next Legislature, as they TIM
doubtediy viii. There will be a sub
stantial Liberal gain in the
Senate after next March.

Latest from Japan.

SAN FRANCISCO, October 25.-The
steamer Colorado has arrived with Hong
Kong dates to September 2lst and YOka-
hOma dates to September 25th. The
japanese Government had liberated the
coolies brought by the Peruvian vessel
Maria Luse under the plea of i'll treat
ment. The Mandarin had arrived and
they will be sent to China. In Yeddo
the mortality is excessive. The au-
thorities have notified all foreigners re-
siding outside of the foreign settlements
to return at once, and all japanese are
forbidden to leave their premises. This
course is condemned as impolitie and
illiberal by the friends of the govern-
ment. The railroad from YeddO to
Yokohoma is completed and was to be
formally opened 10y the Mikado on the
twelfth OF October. The Mikado would
also visit Yokohoma. An earthquake
was experienced at YOkOhOma on the
fifteenth ultimo. The Coreans have sent
more threatening letters to the japanese
man-Of-war Convers, demanding the
return Of all japanese from Carta pre-
paratory to further measures. Several
foreign war vessels have congregated at
Cfeefoo, anticipating trouble to the
japanese.

New YORK, October 25.-The weather
this morning was very damp and foggy.
The horse disease has now spread to
every stable in the city, and symptoms
Of contagion are now visible on almost
every horse on the streets. The stage
and car lines are continuing to lessen
their trips. At about eight o'clock last
evening there was not a Broadway
stage between the Battery and City
Hall. This morning that thoroughfare
seemed to be almost without vehicles.
Altogether, it is calculated that about
EIGHTEEN THOUSAND HORSES
are now affected. The animals attacked
before yesterday generally exhibited
worse features, and it becomes evident
that dating cases from Monday or Tues
day the crisis can yet hardly be said to
have arrived. The continued wOrkin &
Of affected horses is beginning to tell in
the rapid increase of dangerous cases.
Not many deaths have been reported as
yet, but is known that deaths are occur
ring. Three horses of the dry-dock
line cars died last night. Some three
hundred cars have stopped running.
Some additional stage lines will proba-
bly, have to give out to-day. 1t is the
opinion of veterinary surgeons that the
distemper may not prove fatal, but that
the horses will suffer for sometime from
weakness. The Sanitary Committee
have reported to the Board of Health
yesterday that the disease, though gen.
eral, is not
FATAL OF CONTAGIOUS.
The course of it seems to be, say, Fri
day, animal appears sick; Saturday,
worse; Sunday, malady has attained
its climax; Monday, horse improves; !;
on Tuesday is almost fit for work. The
effects on business has not yet been Sc
verely felt, but already the cost of dray-
ing and carriage in some instances has
risen to war prices. The epidemic has
spread to West Chester and staten Is
land as well as to New Jersey. An
other estimate gives the following as the
of cases in this CITY: Six
thousand dray horses, twelve thou
sand belonging to car and stage lines,
five hundred to Express companies, two
thousand to livery and sale stables, six
thousand sick in Brooklyn, six hundred
in Jersey City and six hundred else
MATCHMAKING a total of twenty-eight
thousand.
THE VALUABLE TRoTTING STOCK
also received their share Of the dis
ease. Dan Mace's horses are nearly all
The celebrated double-team,
Darkness and Plympton that trotted at
Park the other day with Ethan
Allen and George Wilkes, are being
treated. The valuable Ethan Allen colt,
worth twelve thousand dollars is also In
the doctors hands. A number Of other
well-knOwn trotters, such as Stonewall
Jackson, Kirkwood, Lady Wheeler,
Jules Jurgenson, Captain Jinks, are also
affected in a mild form
