UNETED STATES SENATOR.

We mistook day in our announcement
last week that the election of United Statesl
Senator would take place on Thursday. ltI
occurred on Wednesday. The other portion
of our assurance was correct. 1t did require
the action of the Republican members to set
tie the difficulty growing out Of the trouble
which Democratic aspirations had placed M
the way of speedy and harmonious cleo
ton. The prompt action Of the Republicans
in nominating Mr. Allison, gentleman of
honor and probity, drove the Democracy into
unison, aud led to that unaniulity which
secured for Mr. Cofcc-pot Wallace a major
ity of nine on joint ballot. And yet Ar.
| Wallace was not the choice of the Democracy;
| but the Democracy were compelled to take
him, because its anti-monopoy instincts could
not break down the power which the mann
moth corporations brought to bear to secure
| his election 1t is even said, so far does ru-
NOR go, that Simon Cameron had quite
hand in bringing about the result, because,
as he was compelled to have Democratic
colleague, he preferred Wallace, as being
more docile, to Buckalew, Black or either OF
the other Democrats named for the position
I We are not By any means sure that the
rumor is not correct, for from all accounts
there is thatin ring fellowship which oft-times
make strange bed fellows wondrous loving
| indeed
There is no mistaling one thing in this
5 connection, and that is the position ON the
Senatorial question of the distinguished per
former on the Democratic Organ, over the
way. He was not in favor Of VIM \. Wal
lace for Senator, aud did not hesitate tc
make the Organ" breathe tune of caution
: to Senators and Representatives from here
abouts, that j. would not be just the thing
for thcpi to sing one tune while 1t played
another. But, bless your soul, the members
from heroabouts paid no more attention t(
: the tune the Organ was playing than thoug!
L it was played for other leadings than theirs
: It played anti-Wallace most veheuently
Il while they sang Wallace right Justify ever,
time, OR skulked home, on long leave o
Z absence, to avoid all danger from entangllnI
alliances. And this is about all the respec
: ever shown to him who furnishes the brain
y aud the music to keep up the poetry OF lit
and motion in the party.
And isn't this too bad in yiew Of all TIA
L the organist has endured for the party. Sc

n We sympathiza with our distinguishe
RI ncighbor, and would comfort him with Il
r assurance Of our hope that a better and +;
\ more successful day may yet dawn upc

he once said Republics as ungrateful!'
