The Gray-McChre Case.

I On the 9th inst, the Senate took up
the Gray-McChre case, and drew a com
mittee to investigate and decide on the
question in dispute. 1t was resolved
that seven Senators should constitute the
committee of investigation The Repub.
lican senators chose by ballot three mem
bers of the committee the Democratic
Senators did likewise. The seventh
member Of the committee was chosen by
| lot. The names of all the Senators, ex.
cepting the name Of the Speaker and the
sitting members, were placed in a box
/ from which thirteen names were drawn
six Republicans and seven Democrats
The committee of six alternately struck
a name from the list of thirteen till only
one remained-Senator Broadhead, a
Democrat-who was declared the seventh
and last member of the committee to try
the case. Senator'S White, Mumma and
Fitch, three Republicans, and Senators
Dill, Buckalew, Davis and Broadhead
four Democrats, constitute the committee
The Republicans are willing that the
the case shall stand on its merits, and the
Democrats are jubilant over the hope Of
getting Mcclure into the Senate. Just
what they will gain is not clear if the
Colonel does get a seat for if Mcclure
goes with them into political combina
tiocs for the advancement of their poll
tics he loses bis Republican friends and
their influence and those who supported
him as a Reform candidate If lie lands
among the Democrats his reform move
ments will be understood.
The Democrats in supporting Mcclure
do not care for reform; their great care
and prayer is that the Republican party
may be divided and so broken that they
may win in the approaching State and
National elections,
The Republicans can and must, when
ever way exists, right the wrong with
in its own organization. The party has
borne heavy affections. The Johnson,
Cowen and Doolittle movement, secured
by Democratic cooperation, was griev-
Gus burden. but the party righted itself
as soon as it was light enough to tell to
certainty where the respective parties
stood
