The special correspondent of the
Cincinnati Gazette, under date of the
9Th inst, has the following in regard
to the new Senate and Senators:
There was an immense crowd oil
strangers about the Senate to-day, and
the floor outside the bar was filled with
members of the House. The new Sen-
ators were the center of attraction, and
nineteen were sworn in, and two were
absent, Messrs. Booth and Sharon.
Five took the modified oath. Mr..
burnside was applauded by the gale
ries when he appeared, but in the mat
ter of noisy greeting, Andy johnson
carried off the palm. The colvred
member is large, finely-formed man,
not very dark, with easy, graceful man.
ners, and bears a strong resemblance
to King Kalakana. The general ver-
dict is that the incoming Senators,
judged by their appearance, were moi
equal to those they were displacing.
The session only lasted one hour, and
then adjourned till Monday, on which
day the President gave notice he would
send a communication.
At the close of the session Mr.. John
son had reception forced upon him.
Many Republican Senators and men,
bers went over and shook hands
with him. 1t was a matter gen.
orally noticed, that Mr.. Ashley, of
Ohio, mover of the Impeachment, was
"A spectator on the floor. Two of the
managers on the part of the House,
Messrs. Boutwell, and Logan, were
present as Senators. None OF those
who voted to acquit him are now men,
bers of the body. .

THE so-called Republican paper, tt

THE so-calied Republican paper, the
Beltdire Independent, ,animadverts upon
the~course of Congressman Danford
for voting for the bill for the Protec-
tion of Voters in the South. This was
to have been Expected, as l.ongley
prides himself upon taking his cue
from the worse than Democratic jour
nals, the New York Tribune and Cincin-
natl Commercial. 1t is true that few
Republicans voted against the bill, but
their votes were either because of their
hatred to Butler, who was its champi-
on, or because oftheir general inclina-
ton to pander to the White League el-
ement ofthe South. We repeat that
we are not astonished that a paper that
advocated the election of Horace Gree
ley, and whose editor clamored for him
in the streets, while holding an Office al
the hands of the Republican party,
should criticise Mr.. Daniord for vote
in unison with the great body of the
Republicans in Congress, to suppress
outlawry, violence and disorder, and
protect Republicans in the South. We
print the bill on the outside of this pa
per, and submit that it will be sustain
ed in the main by true Republicans
everywhere.
