The heirs Of ex-senator SEpAaT1As, Of Ar
kansas, have petitionel the Senate to e1pungo
TINT portion Of the record OF tlnt body rela-
tive to the expulsion Of the said SEBASTIAN
in 1861 for dis1oyalty. In the interest Of
reconciliation, and with viow Of removing
the s&a from the eseutcheon Of that proud
fa,nily, the Senate had the petition refer
spd to committee for investigation. It
hos been discovered that tho Senator
served but two yenrs OF his term,
and. in the event OF favorable notion on tho
petition by the Senate, these truly loyl
heirs will bo entitled to draw from tic
United States Treasury the ss11n Of $25, ,oo0
t.einy the amount Of additional aalary which
The Senator would hAva been entitled to had
he served out his full term. As thoro were
ten or twelve other Senators expelled ut the
samo time and for the same reason, It il pro-
su1ned that this fact will hive its due weight
in deciding tho case.

And now there is prospect that England

And now there is q prospect that England
aud Russia may get by tho ears at no very
distant time. Tho British Lion is lasl,ing his
tail mid growing furiously at tho Russian
Polar Eear, which hns been growing nt him.
England having refused to be represented Mt
the adjourned meeting of the international
Conference for "tho Mitigation Of Suffering
in War;" to be bold IN St. Petersburg this
month, Le Nord, which il understood to be
the Russian Emperor's mouthpiacc, makes A
furious attack upon her. It criticises En-
glands motives, charecterizes her REASONS for
declining rs hypocritical, calls Lord Denny n
pEcKsx1rF, and irritates the Britisl Lion with
illusions to the bombardmcnt Of Copenhagen,
M event which Dritonu do not Like to tnlk
nbout. The Pail Hall Gazrtx and Saturday
Neritio are rcbuking tho insolcnce Of LeNord,
aud charge that this constant abuse Of Crest
Britain is encouraged BY the Russian
Government. The Saturday Reritso says:
"Eng1anfl is happily, notwithstanding the
Affected contempt Of hack political writer's,
not yet reduced to the necessity Of acting
under foreign dictation. Since ths days Of
NAroLEoy it may be doubted whether Gny
sovereign has until now advanced the preten-
sion of insisting ns right that NIL inda-
pendent state shall accept against its will tho
proposal OF conference or congress-" Per-
haps one Of the reul causes of the bitterness
Of feeling between tho two countries is the
fact that the English are providing the East
Turcornan tribes with rifles and teaching
them how to Use them. Tia two nations aro
evidently drawing 30 near on the Eastern
question that they begin to chafo against
zach other. It Is only q question of time
how soon the collision must come.

Tho general tone Of tho Republican papera
Of Ohio leavca little room to doubt thnt old
Rrs WADE will DO the GubernatoriRl caudi-

with "Petticoat ALLEN" Should this DO
the case, the Ohio campaign will be the livo-
lest one ever known in this country. It will
call in the best p-spcakers from every

ever, will centre in tho two leaders. Neither
ut them will mead my certificate 80 10 tho
soundnesa Of their political faith. When
BEs WApn takes the stump, W11L1Ax ALLEN
will have to "rise up" higher than he ever
rose before. They will strike fire every
time they meet. We doubt whether old Ben
WADE yot believes the War is over, and II IL
certain that " Foghorn" ALLEN does not yet
know there has been civil war, or that

The Chicago Journal and the Times, with
indecent zeal, oppose any deliverunce from
the present city charter aud its cumbersome
and iatolerable eyils. The ataple denuncia-
ton is, that il there be new charter AIr.
HksNo can be candidate for Mayor, mud
tlot, when elected, he will use tie powers Of
tho Alayoralty 70 rs to convort tia whole
Government into HEs1xo machine for the
bonelt Of HEsISa and hfa followers. But
these papera ignore the fact TINT under both
charters the eligibility OF candidates and tho
that, while HEsNa may be elected unlar tho
now charter, so KAat. KtNos may be elected
under the old ono. There is no office under
the new charter to which Mr. HEs1So may
aspire that he cannot equally contend for
under the old charter. Whoever may be
elected Mayor under the now charter must
have minority OF the popular vote, and that
minority cannot be influenced either way by
reason Of the election being hela under ono
charter or the other.
It Ii claimed, however, tint under tho nav
charter a bad man elected to the office Of
Mayor can surround himself with bad men oi
his own sulsotion, his own " creatures, " aud.
with these snborainates, can run the City
Government in Ills own interest, and
it il assumed that the new charter
furnishes special opportunities for this
purpose. To emphasize this assertion they
say that HEs1Ea will be Mayor, and cali upon
tho people to behold the horrible spectre. Let

Tho summing mp Of theae figures shows
that tho fifteen Democratic States, including
South Caro1inn, have debt Of eo1a,205, ,63a,
not including several years. accrued md un-
paid interest, whilo all tic other States have
a debt Of 310o, 600, 900, of which ::71, ,000, 600
are dno By Ohio, New York, Pennsylvania,
md Massachusetts.
Afr. WA1KER's plan is that Congress shall
by act Of legislation assume MI this debt,
issuing national bonds therefor, and pay the
interest thereon annually. In other words,
that over two-thirds Of the people, who owe
less thau ono-third OF the State debts, Rha1l
change position shall assnmo the payment
Of t77o-tllirtls Of the State debts now owed by
less thnn one.third Of tho people.
Gov. WALKEn, elected to Congress- and tho
probable Speaker Of the House of Represent
ntives, will lose no time in presenting lis
plan, whereby the indebtedness Of all the
fifteen Democratic states will be sponged
out, and ita payment made over to the Re-
publican S'ates. These Republican States now
pay three.fourths Of the national taxation,
and havo ]cen taxing themselves for ycnra to
pay of th,ir own State debts. The transfer
to them Of tho sa19, 100000 debts Of the
Southern States, In addition to the cost of
tho War, already paid, and three-fourthR Of
what rem ains to be paid, viii be accepted by
tho Southern Democracy as retribution for
the War itself.

= CHICAGO, April 1O.-The Times pub
fishes telegraphic crop reports from nu.
merous prominent points in Illinois
Wisconsin, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Mis-.
Souri, Michigan and Minnesota, from
which it appears that the fall wheat was
badly winter-killed in many places, and
hess spring wheat is being sown than
usual in consequence of the lateness OF
the season. The average of wheat seems
TO be very much less than last year,
though by averaging the different States
during the season it seems that the pro-
duction may not fall below that of last
year.
= Indiana and Wisconsin promise the
best for winter wheat, While Michigan.
Minnesota and Iowa do not report favor.
ably. The grasshoppers are feared in
Minnesota and the chinch bugs in Mis-
souri, and Kansas. There Is a disposition
In all the wheat growing localities to
rush in as much spring wheat as possi-
Bile, and with favorable weather the
prospects will undoubtedly brighten.
