The New SENATE. ever the
new Senate now convened Id extra ses-
sion at Washington, the visitor does not
feel that that august body has suffered
in intellectual quality by the elections
which have recently taken place. Many
of the new Senators are decidedly supe-
rior to the men they succeeded. For
instance, Judge Christiancy, who fol-
lowed Mr.. Chandler as the Republican
Senator from Michigan, made his maid
en- speech this week upon the admission
OF Pinchback to a seat IN the Senate
that places him at once in the front rank
of the strong men and able debaters of
the Senate. It was such a speech in
conception, statement, and breadth OF
view. as Chandler could not have made,
and it is no disparagement OF the late
Senator's many excellent qualities, to say
so.-Mil. advertiser.

The Louisville Courier Journal pro-
fesses to be an independent paper with
decided leanings to the Democratic
party, but it gives that party some ex-
tremely hard knocks at times. Here is
the most recent speciment:
1t is now in order for the leaders of the in
try has not jumped cut of the frying-pan into
the fire. We are told that new broom sweeps
clean. But this Democratic broom is not a
new broom. 1t is an old broom, and has itself
done some ugly in Its time.
This is very unpleasant reminder to
the Courier-J ournals party. 1t is al
ready trembling under the load of it's
new responsibility. It has made SO
many promises that it knows it can not
fulfill especially with the material which
it has put in office, that the few wise
ones in it's councils are less happy than
when they were out of power. A large
number of the late rebel leaders are it's
leaders, and with one or two exceptions
they are likely to prove very "blind. %
The pacifcatlon of the south and con-
servative moderate course in all things
would undoubtedly give the party a
strong leverage for increasing in power,
but there is no present prospect of it's
taking such course, hence the very plain
advice of the Courier-J ournal.

Frrz HUGH LEE AND THE PRESIDENT S
DAUGHTER Hugh Lee, the ex-
rebel General is IN Washington, and a
story runs of former visit of his that
has pleasant SAVIOR of cavalier pluck and
romance. He happened to meet on the
Mount Vernon boat one day an old
friend, who with an eye to practical
joke, took special pains to introduce the
ssBlack Horse" hero to one of her COM
panions, who was none other than Nellie
Grant. sMr. Lee and Miss Grant got
on famously, and when they reached the
wharf she extended her hand for a cor
dial goodbye, hoping they would meet
again. Handsome and courteous, the
Virginian arose andbowed low over the
pretty outstretched hand; with mis-
chevious smile he spoke to his new friend !:
81 am sorry to think our future meetings
will depend upon chance only. But [
beg you to bear Gen. Fitz Hugh Lees
compliments to your father. and tell him
that if he'll only furnish rations and give
permission I'll take a squadron of the
Black Horse Cavalry and bring him
Capt. Jack with Gen. Canby's coat on
in thirty days. Miss Nellie was struck
dumb for moment; then the funny
aspect of the situation occurred to her,
and she laughed heartily. "You are the
most impudent man [ ever saw" she
cried to him as he walked down the
gangWay.

Mr.. LAMONT, Director of the Observa-
tory at Munich, says that many cases
are known where magnetic disturbances
coincide with earthquaker, and states
that. on April IS, he by chance saw the
needle of the declination instrument rsr
ceive sudden jerk, the oscillations con-
tlnuing for some time After some days
he received news that violent oscillations
of the needle had been observed in
Parma, and subsequent computations
showed that the movement had begun
at the same moment in Parma and in
Munich; while, later still, reports were
received of a violent earthquake occur
ing simultaneously In Greece.

LEGISLATIVE BUNGLING.

It is reported from Madison that the
Attorney General and Railroad Commits
sioners have discovered a beautiful mud
die in the railroad legislation of the re-
cent session. An act was approved
March Cd dividing the railroads of the
state into two classes, A and b, and pro
viding that the regulations applicable to
class G. roads under the Potter law shall
apply to class 3 roads under the new
law. Then the Quimby bill, amending
the Potter law, was passed, establishing
rates for both a and B classes, which
are different from those under the Pot
ter law. The provision of the first nam
ed law that B roads shall charge the g
rates of the Potter law is. therefore, an
tagonized by the Quimby law. The B
rates of this latter law are less than
those of class @ of the Potter law; there
fore, while the Quimby bill raises the
rates for A roads it virtually decreases
the rates for B roads, which class in
cIudes all in the state except those own
ed by the Chicago, Milwaukee and ST.
Paul and the Chicago and Northwestern
Companies.
Now the question arises, what is to
be done? The Quimby law was the
last one passed, but does not in words
repeal conflicting clauses of other laws.
If in enforcing this law 1t is held, in ef-
feet. to repeal all in conflict with it, it IS
made to work a great hardship to y
roads If it is not SO held then a part
of it must be ignored. What the au-
thorities propose to do about this
bungle has not TRANSFERRED.
This middle shows the absurdity OF a
body of legislators endeavorlng to es-
tablish regulations for vast and COM
plicated system Of business about which
they have no practical and very little
theoretical knowledge; and endeavoring
to do it, too, in the hurry, confusion
and excitement of the end of the session.
How much wiser it would have been to
have repealed the existing law regulat-
ing rates, and instructed the Commits
sioners to study the matter thoroughly
from every point of view, and report the
result Of their observations to the next
legislature with such recommendations
as should seem to them wise and just.
With such data to begin with, another
legislature could act Understandings
provided it possessed any understand
ing.
The railroad legislation of the session
of 1874 has cost the State Treasury di
rectly not less than $25, 1000, to say moth
ing of indirect expenses; then there is
the detriment which it has been to the
State in the way of checking the inflow
of capital and the building of new roads.
Now comes this miserable middle to
complicate things for year to come.
For all this what has the State gained2
Simply recognition of the right of the
State, so far as it exists, to control the
railroad companies-a right that might
have been established at a much less
cost and much more effectually if the
matter had been undertaken with eau
ton and moderation.-W Wisconsin.

THE result of the New HAMPSHIRE

THE result of the New Hampshire
election isnot yet definitely settled. It
looks to-day as though the Republicans
had elected the Governor and majority
of the Legislature and as if the Demo
Gratis had got two of the three members
of Congress. Everything considered, it
is pretty much draw game this year in
the Old Granite State, between the two
parties. Two old rebel generals, Gordon
and Lamar, went up to stump the State
for the democracy, and that helped the
Republicans.

THE President did not sign the bill
for the equalization of soldiers bounties,
both because of the irregular manner in
which it was passed, and because he re-
garded the measure as very crudely
drawn, and involving an extravaganza and
uncalled for expenditure of money. The
members of the Cabinet were all opposed
to the bill as drawn. and Thoroughly APP
proved of the Presidents action. It is
believed if it had become law, specula-
tors and attorneys would have derived
much more benefit from it than the sol
diers

SINCE the defeat of the bill for the
equalization of bounties, certain Demo
cratic papers have been attempting to
make a little capital out of 1t for their
party. Their plan is to raise the cry of
''Poor soldier" and to charge the Pres
ident with treachery to his old COM
rades because he had determined to veto
the bill in case it should pass the Senate.
The truth is, aside from the merits of
the bill, the Democrats can have no
claim on the gratitude of the soldiers.
Every Democratic Senior voted against
it. None the less do we rejoice that the
President vetoed the bill, and that a
sufficient number of Republican Senators
voted against it to insure its defeat

The Buckeye Table Rake

The experience of the past two years has
demonstrated that c. Aultman s. Co. have, in
reaper as nearly perfect a self-rake as it is
possible for human genius to devise. The de-
fects noticeable in the earlier machines have
all been obviated, and it stands to-day unrival-
ed in simplicity, ease of control, rability and
eHect1veness-at once the pride of it's friends
reel bringing the grain straight on the plat
form, and its simple but ingenius rake gather
ing the gavels and delivering them straight,
even and compact. in splendid condition for the
binder; with the rake under the perfect control
of the driver, capable of being stopped and held
of time, 1t distances entirely its competi-
tors of the Reef or pigeon Wing rake.
While doing excellent work as rake, its
simplicity renders it easy to work. and the eff
feet is that the Buckeye stands to-day
