Che Boston Post writes hat of the
Twenty-four Senators comprising
one third of the Senatel whose terms
expire March 4 next, three are De-
nocrTts-Bayard of Delaware,
Hamilton Of Maryland and Stockton
Of New Jersey; three are Liberal
Republicans-Fenton of New York,
Schurz Of Missouri and Upton OF
Nebraska : and the rest are Republic
cans, as foliows-Boreman Of West
Virginia, Brownlow of Tennessee,
Buckingham of Connecticut, Carpen-
ter of Wisconsin, Chandler Of Miehi-
gan, Edmunds OF Vermont, Flanagan
of Texas, Gilbert of Florida, Hagar
of California, Hamlin OF Maine,
Lewis of Virginia, Pease Of Missis-
sippi, Pratt OF Indiana, Ramsey of
Minnesota, Scott of Pennsylvania,
Sprague of Rhode Island, Stewart of
Nevada, and Washburn of Massa-
chusrtts. or the Democrats, Bayard
will succeed himself, Stockton proba-
bly, ditto, and Ex-Governor Pinckney
Whyte will succeed Hamilton. In
place of Fenton and Sehurz there
will be Democrats in the next
Senate, while the probability Is that
I'm place of the other Liberal Repub-
lican, Upton, a regular Republican,
will be elected. The remainder OF
the list may, according to present
indications, be summed up thus
A Democrat will succeed each Bore
man and Brownlow Mr.. Eaton will
succeed buckingham Carpenter and
Chandler will be their own success
sors, unless their active labors to
accomplish that end shall prove
unavailIng; Edmunds has already
been reelected Flanagan will give
place to Democrat, likewise Gill
bert; Hagar will be succeeded by
Gov, Booth, the reformer and OPP
ponent of monopolies ; Hamlin will
give place to another Republican ;
Lewis will be succeeded by General
withers,an able and eloquent Demo-
crat Pease r%etires, giving a seat to
Bruce, a robust eoiored man, who,
though a better looking man, is said
10 be not equal in ability to Revels,
the only colored man who, up to this
time, ever by right of election has
occupied a seat in the United States
Senate; Pratt will be succeeded by &
Democrat; Ramsey desires to be his
own successor, but the chances are
thought to be against him ; q Demo-
crat will succeed Scott; another Re
publican will take the place Of
Sprasue, and a Republican million
aire, who will be the richest man in
the Senate, will succeed Stewart.
AS TO n successor for Washburn,
reports from Massachusetts are con-
fiicting. and the result of the election
is yet in doubt, so far rs the partic-
ular individual who shall be chosen
Is concerned, but the main point
regarding the political utilization of
the next Senator is generally con-
coded, even by Republicans, in favor
of the Democrats. A prominent Re
publican politician of Massachusetts,
stated to your correspondent within
4 week, that his information from
home, and from friends throughout
the State, indicated that Messrs.
Dawes and Hoar would each go into
she Legislature with pretty strong
backing, and that the supporters OF
either would positively refuse to vote
for the other; that at best there is
only IA faint prospect of success for
the Republicans, and that nobody
will be surprised if a Democat Tor a
member of the Opposition party, as
Democrats are now called by Repub-
llcans) shall be elected to the United
States Senate from Massachusetts
this winter.
