Mir. Morton's speech of Thursday shows strong lorin,a facic case of fraud in the recent Mississippi election. The total vote IS ga. 900 larger than ever before. The Democrats vote was more than dou- ble the heaviest ever before cast, and the Republican isnot diminished in any like proportion. At Columbus, which had gone Republican at former elections, only F Republican votes were cast. In Yazoo county, where in 1872 there were 2,437 Republican votes cast to All Democratic, last months vote gives only Republican votes to 4,OA Democratic. This aston- ishing result was accomplished he claims by intimidation and ballot-b box stufing.
 The elections for the French Senate have resulted in the choice of 54 Repub- licans. IT Monarchists, and one Bonapart- ist There are 225 more Senators to be elected. by the municipalities of the various departments. There seems no doubt that the Senate of the coming leg islature will be Republican, and the lower house will probably follow suit. unless the McMahon ministry manipulate the elections with a skill that is not expected of them. Mir. Tweed. the retired states man of New York, would be a valuable man for them just at this juncture.
 The resolution offered Tn the Senate. last week. by Mir. Edmunds, will bring the vexed question whether Mir. Ferry holds his position as President pro tem.o of the Senate to an issue.. In case of the death of the President the President pro tena. of the Senate becomes acting Presi- dent and it becomes of importance to know whether there is any such officer. The precedents are in favor of Mir. Ferry's claim that he holds the position without reelection but some of the Democrats deny this, and the matter should be definitely settled.
