AZ OF the so Senators and Is OF the 100 Representa-
tives, having 120 votes on a toint ballot OF l50.
The dividing line this year will be railroad and

anti-mon0pOlists will have 10 or IL majority.
THE PROSPECTS OF VICTORY.
IL Is extremely difficult to make any calculation
OF the strength which the grangers will develop.
All parties are agreed that the vote will be heavy
for an off year, somewhere in the vicinity OF
100, 000 The republicans admit a loss OF strength,
but claim the State by $1,000 or $4,000. The
grangers are not noisily confident but believe
that they Ill carry the State by small majority
They expect to detach q large number OF repub-
lican votes, and TO have more democratic votes
cast for their nominees than were given to Greeley
last year. Over and above this they anticipate
liberal per centage OF scratchers and stayaways on
the Carpenter side. On the whole, your corre-
spondent is inclined to favor Carpenters chances
OF being elected by small majority, but only be-
cause OF the comparative newness OF the granger
movement. Should the granqers develope any
unexpected strength in the river counties Car
penter will be beaten.

upon the seventh day also. So long
as it continues to manifest its inabil-
ity to restore specie payments and
suffers an irredeemable currency,
which is to be expanded or contracted
at its own will, to generate specula-
tive schemes without end instead of
serving simply the business necessities
of the country, it will remain direct

catastrophes in the money market as

is the uncertainty of values, which a
vicious currency fathers and fosters,
that must be put down as the founda-
ton cause of all the present trouble.
The present Administration having
sufficiently proved itself incapable of
graphing with the problem Of the
restoration of specie payments, it is
time the people looked about seriously
to take measures and find agents that
will provide for this great necessity of
