Ben Wade is said to be rather pleased with
Andy Johnscn's election as senstor, because he
thinks that the country is drifting into smother
civil strife, in which event he considers that
johnson viii certainly be found Ton the Union
side, being representative of the Union tie
ment in Tennessee.
Whatever may be the fate Of Pinchbsck in his
present contest for seat ID the Senate, there
is no doubt that he is the most elected man in
the country. He has two sets OF credentials for
the United States Sens,e, and one for the House
of Representative.
The Washington correspondent Of the Ptts-
burg Commercial ssy= at Is circulated about
the Senate that Andy johnson, who was in the
habit of preserving ali his letters from Senators,
especially those appealing for patronage, will
bring Lis letter books 70 Wa hlngton when he
re-enters upon his Senatorial term, and will di-
yersify his speeches. occasion may require,

Those who have thought that in some of the
Western States divorce has become too easy will
doubtless be struck with the novel proposition
which has been introduced in the Wisconsin
Legislature. Some member, gosded on,perhaps,
by some woman who has been smarting under
neglect, has offered bill which provides that
any husband attending the cau.can three
nights in succession should thereby become ex-
posed TO the pains and penalties Of divorce. Tie
passage Of this bill would make Wisconsin tile
Meoca toward which all ill-mated couples would
tend and, might perhaps solve the problem OF
the best means TO promote immigration.

A Hundred Sail in Attendance.
RAMBLER THE WINNER IN THE FIRST
CLASS.

Portsmouth, July "a. The ocean yacht race,
despite the threatening weather of yesterday, took
place to-day under most suspicious circumstances,
the day being perfect, with westerly wind veer-
ing to northwest, and sufficen ly strong to make
good sailing for smaller crafts; although the first
race between LIST class yachts would have been
more closely contested had they enjoyed sitter
breeze. The ocean in the ncighborhood of the
Islands was white with sails, and the sight was
one which elected the admiration of all fortunate
enough to witness it.
The start took place at l2.ll. The race was
over course Of 80 miles for LIST class boats, and
ID miles for I'd class. Prizes were classified IS
follows LIST class for sloops and schooners meas
uring 40 feet and upwards; for schooners, first
and second prize; for sloops, first and second
prize Secord class for centre boards and keel
sloops and schooners measuring % feet and less
than 40 feet; for centre board sloops first and
second prize; for schooners, first and second
prize. These prizes consisted of plate of varying
value. A flying start was made. The following
is the starting time and actual sailing time, re-
spectively, of all 1st class boats whose time of re-
turning was taken:
