CARPENTER's PROSPECTS. Senti-
mel declares that Senator Carpenters
prospects were never brighter for an
election; that conferences have been be-
tween the twenty-five seceders and the
ffty-nine Republicans who adhered to
the caucus nomination, and it thinks they
will arrive at some common ground Of
agreement. Five Of the absentees are
already willing to return and support
Senator Carpenter; but three more are
required. Can these votes be secured :?
That is the question. After it was I'M
derstood that the dissenters would con
fer, the Sentinel says:
The Carpenter men appointed COM
mittee of five. composed of Senators
Barron and Potter, and Assmblymen
Burdick, Callahan and Van Setback to
confer with the boilers in the agricultu-
raj rooms. A like committee, consisting
of Senators Barden and Schuette, and
Assemblymen Newell, Comstock and
Mitchell was appointed to meet the for
mer. A long discussion followed, car
ried on entirely in a friendly spirit.
The Sentinel thinks that the effects of
this healing plaster will not be visible
until Thursday or Friday.-INa Wiscon-
san, yesterday.

TENNESSEE Elected Andrew johnson
to the United States Senate last Tues
day, on the fifty-ffth Ballot. Wednes-
days New York Herald in an editorial
upon the election of Andrew Johnson to
the United States Senate, says: 'In
1866 he was charged with public offenses
alone, and though we do not think he
was entirely right in his course, it is
now generally conceded that his imagi-
nary misdemeanors were, in fact, official
merits. Andrew Johnson has fortunate
ly lived to see his vindicat1on and to
have it confirmed by his election to the
Senate. Because the American people
know him so well, because he was i'm
peached, and bounded as traitor, and
chained and handcuffed by Congress,
the contest in the Tennessee Legislature
possesses a national interest and is
really national victory. He is the
best man that Tennessee could have
chosen. In the Senate he viii be of fan
greater use to the country than he was
in the Presidency, for independence,
which is inseparable from his character,
will have better opportunity in the duties
of a legislator than it could have in those
of the executive. The Senate needs
men who have courage to speak the
truth, and, besides this, Mr.. Johnston
has probably profted by time and ex-
perience. Universal interest VIII be felt
by the country in his course in the Sen
ate and we earnestly trust that the faults
of his character and the errors OF his re-
cord viii be obliterated and be forgotten
III the splendid career which his election
to the Senate has opened.

CAUcUsEs of Mr.. Carpenters support
ers and anti Carpenter men were held
in separate rooms in the Capitol Tues
day night. A committee Of Mr.. Carpen-
ter's friends appeared at the door of his
opponents room and invited them to a
joint conference. This was accepted,
and the boilers marched into the room
and took seats. Attempted conciliatory
speeches were made, but the anti-C Car
penter men finally withdrew again. A
committee of Carpenters friends went
to their opponents and requested that a
committee Of five be appointed to con-
fer with a like committee from their
side. This was finally agreed to, but
the anti-Carpenter caucus instructed
their Committee that the only terms
that would heal the rupture was the
with drawal of Carpenter. This, they
say, must precede all efforts at COM
promise. It is stated that the commit
tee of Carpenters friends attempted to
obtain other terms, but the boilers were
memorable. The Conference Commit
tee adjourned without results. It is
stated that the anti-Carpenter men have
made propositions to their opponents to
name their man, outside of Mr.. Carpen-
ter, and they would go for HIM. This
has not as yet been accepted, but it is
said it will be.

SCAR1ArINA AN EPIDEMIC. CONSIDER
ing that Scarlet fever and Scarlatina
have made their appearance in the
county and city, and have become almost
Epidemic in localities, as well as fatal,
we publish the following as bearing on
the subject:
The views of DR.. Alfred Carpenter,
published some three years since in the
Lancet, upon the subject of scarlet fever
ascribing to that disease an epidemic
character, are strongly endorsed in a
recent issue Of the Medical and Surgical
Reporter. The editor maintains that
not only is the disease infectious in the
full sence of the term, but also that the
malignity of the infection is something
frightfl Articles OF clothing worn by
patients retain dangerous character for
over year, as do walls, furniture, and
in fact everything that has been in the
vicinity of the disease and in it's spread.
The secretions of the body, epidemic
scales, and excreta are active carriers OF
the pestilence.
Thorough ventilation and disenfec-
ton are the best means for destroying
the poison. Clothing, bedding, ETC.,
should be submitted to dry heat OF
22Oo Fab. for several hours, and then
soaked in mixture Of 1 pound hypon-
sulphite of soda, 2 ounces sulphuric acl i
and s gallons of water. Rooms should
be purified by burning sulphur, and the
patient thoroughly cleansed before hav-
ing intercourse with other people.
