democrats, while IL IL more than likely
1hat a number OF republi san Senators re-
firing VIII be replaced by democrats. To

but must replace at least nine out of the
sixteen retiring republicans oy democrats
1t II doubtful whether 'hJy will be able TO
do this, but certain IL IL that the parties

With my returning senses the truth came
to me: That which murdered the three

this being caught in manner which

AS for the fact that neither doctor nor

to say that they were not deeply scien.

used in the place, and that 1t had not
been mentioned that the blue chamber

Southern War Secrets Revealed.
[From the Baltimore Sun


A. I'll. II. Stuart anu j. N. Opie, Of Au-
gusta county, Virginia, are rival candi-
dates for the Legislature of that State,
and made speeches at q political meet
ing held in Staunton. Among some per-
sonal "reminiscences related by Mr..
Stuart in his speech was one connected
with the peace negotiations of the late
Confederacy. He read note from the
Hon. Judah II. Benjamin, dated
March %, 1854, asking him to come to
Richmond for an interview with
President Davis. He went, and was
informed by President Davis that
the Confederate Congress had voted
secret service fund 6f 100000 in gold
to be used in creating a peace senti-
ment at the North. After looking over
the whole country the President had se-
lected Mr.. Stuart as the man for the
mission. He was to sail for Nassau and
thence for Halifax, and there, from the
border Of Canada, operate on prominent
men. The fund OF 50, ,00O, 900 was to be at
his absolute disposal, and he was not to
be required to furnish vouchers for its
disbursement. Mr.. Stuart declined the
tender, and g. G. Clay, OF Alabama, and
| two other gentlemen were appointed
The Greeley correspondence and the .rt
whom il may concern" OF Presiden
Lincolp followed this mission.

THURSDAY. JANUARY 1s

y THE open question concerning the
Presidency of the Senate, the Vice Presi-
dent being dead, has been settled by re-
tanning Mr.. Ferry as President pro tem.,
but with the recognition OF the.principle
as precedent that the office is never
theless held at the pleasure OF the Senate.
The propositions enunciated by the Com
mittee on Privileges and Elections are,
first, that the term OF President pre-
tem., duly elected, does not expire till
his successor is chosen; second, thai
the death of the Vice President does moi
vacate the Office Of President pro tenn,
third, that the Senate can change its
President pro TEN. at pleasure; and
fourth, that Mr.. Ferry, by virtue Of his
previous election, is now President pro
tenn. of the Senate. Upon the basis o.
these propositions the question may be
considered as settled.

First Partisan Struggle

SouSIcSS uaS pecu Ia oeSSAou, uomA-
nally, now for six weeks, and the first real
parts IN round in the political prize ring
has just taken place. The Democrats,
under the lead of Randall. came up to
the scratch-ine smiling, and put in their
first side-winder by the amnesty bill.
They were squarely met by the Republi-
cans, under the adroit fencing of Blaine,
who got in smasher square on the
smeller and fairly sent Randall to grass
Mr.. Randall could scarcely have an
ticlpated. that his little amnesty bill,
which was indeed nearly identical with
bills heretofore passed by Republican
Congress, should have opened such a
deluging crevasse as actually followed
under Blaine's amendment. In parlia.

fectly master of the situation. 1t was
intended that the movement should be SO
made as too cut off debate. But, by his
motion to reconsider, Blaine was ena-
bIed to open the whole field OF dis
cussion without let or hindrance; and he
Immediately improved the occasion by a

was something awful.
The work of making reply to this fell
to S. s. Cox, the "funny man" OF the
House. But fun failed. The subject had
been placed entirely out Of the range oi
jokes. Cox got of two or three rather
weak and pointiess puns; burt they were
| nothing but Chinese crackers amid the
| roar of artillery. Cox's' effort was but

political friends felt that he had pushed
his point toe far, and that it would
react in favor of JEFF. Davis, to the ex

The Indian war is practically at an end.
After following the savages into the noun
tains without fighting decisive battle, the
soldiers are forced to return. Already they
are preparing to go into winter quarters.
The tactics Of the present leaders do not
seem to have done them much credit. AS
an exchange says, "Sitting Bull is the only
general who has won a reputation during the
war" lie has shown himself a strategist
Of the first class. Without losing to any
great extent himself he has killed hundreds
OF our brave soldiers and kept out of the
reach Of his pursuers by mastery retreat
to the mountain Businesses. Indeed, if Sit
ting Bull should see fit to continue operations
VIC may have war on our hands rivaling in
expense and loss of life the Modoc war
which it so troubled the government
to put down. 1t is matter o.
congratulation that the Blackfeet, Grows
and other tribes refused to take par
against the whites. 1t is to be hoped tina
the government will continue its war polio,
against the Sioux, at least, for they seem t.
be untamable, and can only be subdued b.
determination. The loss of their supplies
however, will do much to dishearten tn
Sioux during their stay among the hills, an
it may be possible that another spring wi
find the war ended and the Indians quietl
settled on their reservations.
