A DEMOCRATIC OENATE.-lne
New York World thinks it likely
that there will be a Democratic
or opposition majority in the Uni
ted States Congress after the 4th
March, 1875. The opposition are
sure of twenty-six Senators after
that date, and the World estimates
that elections in some sixteen
States, whose Legislatures are yet
to be chosen, will give some twelve
Senators -thirty-eight in all,
or a majority of the seventy-foul
members which compose the Sen.
ate:
In conclusion, the World says;
"Whatever the political complex.
ion of the Senate may be during
the last two years of President
Grants term, it is as certain as any.
thing in the future Of politics can
be that a Democratic Senate will
support a Democratic President
from the 9TH of March, 1877. OF
the fifteen Republican Senators
whose terms expire at that date,
six represent States which are al.
ready Democratic, and six more
States which are sure to be carried
by the Democrats in the forthcom-
ing elections. The revolution OF
the Senate, therefore, is an event OF
the near future.

About five thousand dollars are

fdently hope that the different Dis

amount collected to enable the

We deem it unnecessary to com

eral in their contributions to al
praiseworthy enterprises It's sue
cess seems to be assured, and the

share the credit of contributing tt
the best of our ability, in efectins
it's completion.
