HOW THE SENATE WILL STAND.


While the party in power will no
longer WELD It's compact and tr1um-
plant majority of twO-thirds in the
Senate, it will unquestiopably hold,
until 1876, large majority in that
body. Giving to the Democrats every
State which has pronounced in
their favor in the recent cleo
tons, there are still not enough of
these States choosing Senator's the COM
ing winter to change the majority in the
Senate. In that body, as it stands at
presen', the Republicans have fifty
votes, the Democrats twenty, and the
Liberal Republicans three, while there
is one vacancy in the representation
from Louisiana. The Republican ma
jority is, therefore, at present, twenty
seven, in a Senate consisting of seven
ty-three members. The Republican
States that have gone Democratic, and
have elected or will elect during
the coming winter, Senators of that
faith, are Connecticut, Indiana, Mis-
souri,, New York, Pennsylvania, Ten
nessee, Texas, Virginia and West Vir-
ginia. To these must be added Louisi-
ana, and possibly Michigan. Adding
these ten votes to the present Demo
cratic and Liberal Republican ones,
we have a total opposition vote in the
Forty-fourth Congress of 80, after de-
Quoting one Liberal Republican vote
in Nebraska, which will elect
an orthodox Republican to the
Senate in place of Upton.
The Republican strength in the next
Senate will probably be A, possibly
one less, which will give them a major
ity of u, in place of thier present one
of27. This majority, although not great
is sufficient for all practical party pur.
poses; and it cannot be disturbed be-
fore the 4th of March, 1877, when an
other third of the Senate viii 60 out,
and their successors will be virtually
elected at the time of the Presidential
canvass of November, 1876.

THOSE Republicans who fancy that
now, since their party is ruined, they
can run race of greater corruption
and plumber than ever in the next ses-
sion of Congress, had better abandon
their project. 1.-THE party has nothing
left to lose, there are among its leaders
men who have hitherto sacrificed more
of their own self-respect than they will
ever do again. Jobbery will not be in
favor hereafter, and rascals who under
take to practice it will meet with a
speedy trial and prompt punishment

THE LATE HON. JOHN w. HEAD.
Hon. John w. Head, who was elect
ed, only a week ago, to represent the
Fourth District in the next Congress,
died in Gallatin, yesterday, about 8 A.
NJ, of pneumonia, after brief illness.
While filing the last appointment Of
the canvass, at Adams Station, on the
st. Louis and Southeastern Railroad
Saturday, the 3lst nit, he complained
of having taken cold and became Sc.
riously Ill soon after his return home
He sank steadily from that time until
the end came.
Irrespective of the fact that Tennes-
see thus loses one of the sblest- OF her
delegation in the Forty-fOurth Con-
gross, there is something peculiarly
melancholy In death under such cir
cumstances, just as the goalof a lauda-
bic ambition had been reached.
- Col Head hadn oppositionin his can
vass, during which he secured a strong
hold upon the confidence of his consti-
tuents. He was about ffty-fve years
of age and had done the State excel
lent service. After making an honor
able record as a Senator in the General
Assembly of 1878, he was elected
Attorney General and Reporter for the
State. This position he held until the
breaking out of the war, when he cast
his fortunes with the Confederacy and
attained the rank of Colonel. On ac'
count of his capacity and requirements
as lawyer, he was appointed a mem
Der of the Court of Arbitration
by which the labors of the Supreme
Court last year were SO materially light
ened. He also served as one of the
special Judges selected to pass upOr
the case involving the validity Of tn,
'snew ISSUE notes Of the Bank of Ten
nessee.
At a meeting of the Nashville bal
yesterday resolutions were adopted and
eulogies delivered setting forth, il
fitting terms, the claims of the deceased
to a place in the grateful remem
brance of his fellow-citizens, /;
full report of which appears in this
issue. The funeral is announced t
take place from the late residence o.
the deceased, in Gallatin, at IL A. M
to-day.
This blow, we are deeply panied t.
learn, may prove fatal to the bereaveC
widow. A note received by last even
ing's mail stated that she was the1
lying at the point of death.

FEArHER BEDS AND LIGHTNING


A general impression prevails that feath-
er-beds are nonconductOrs of electricity.
Our old friend, DR.. VIM. B. Wood, bears
testimony to the fact that they are certainly
a protection. Many years ago, and when
he resided in North Carolina, his dwelling
though apparently protected by lightning
rods, was struck by lightning and the
house was literally torn to atoms. The
charge of electricity passed down a chin
ney not protected by a rod, and passed into
the rooms and tore bedsteads to pieces on
which members of the family were reclin-
ing on feather-heds, and not an inmate OF
the room in which the charge passed was
hurt or even shocked. Those not ON beds
and remote from the part of the house that
was stricken were severely shocked. So il
seems our scientists are right in asserting
the nonconducting and safe properties OF
feather-beds in an electrical storm.

.,ss The decision Of the United States
Supreme Court in the insurance case
from Wisconsin, noted by the telegraph
this morning, is remarkable in two re-
spects. First, the decision of the court
practically gives great advantage to
foreign corporations doing business in
State, placing home corporations at a
disadvantage. Secondly, the dissent of
the new Chief Justice, supported by
Associate Justice David Davis, will be
commented upon as significant of the
views entertained by Chase's successor
upon other questions involving the au-
tonomy of the States. In this case he
insists that the State has a right to
place upon the same legal footing all
doing business within its borders,
whether they be residents or nOn-resi-
dents.

Appearances indicate that there will be
more contested election cases in the House
of the Forty-fOurth congress than has ever
been tried in any preceding Congress.
There seems to be a determination in all
close districts TO contest, and many South
ern Republican candidates will coubt-
less make an effort to secure
seats on the ground that Republican
voters were intimidated and driven from
the polls. Col. Thomas B. Florence, edi-
tor of the Sunday Gazette of this city, who
was defeated as the Democratic candidate
for Congress in the First Pennsylvania
District, intimates in his paper to-day that
he will contest the seat ON the ground that
his opponent secured his election by, bribery.
His opponent received a majority of about
1900 in district which formerly gave so
Republican majority.

Ayers I
H:::airVigor,
For restoring to Gray. Hair its
natural Vitality and Color.

gloss aud freshness of gOutb.s Thin
hair is thickened, falling hair checked,
and badness often though not always,
cured BY its use. Nothing can restore
the hair where the follicles. are de-
stroyed, or the glands atrophied and
decayed; but such as remain can be
saved by this application, and stimu-
lated into activity, so that a new
growth. of hair is produced. Instead
of. fouling the hair with a pasty sedi-
ment, it will keep it clean and vigorous.
Its occasional use will prevent the hair
from turning gray or falling of, and
consequently prevent badness. The
restoration of vitality it gives to the
scalp arrests and prevents the forma-
ton of dandruff, which is often SO un-
cleanly and offensive. Free from those
deleterious substances which make
some preparations dangerous and iniu-
rious to the hair, the Vigor can only
benefit but not harm it. If wanted
merely for a HAIR DRESSING,
nothing else can be found so desirable.
Containing neithersoil nor dye, it does
not soil white cambric, and yet lasts
long on the hair, giving it rich, glossy
lustre, and a grateful perfume.
