London with something like enthusiasm, and
went far to neutralizc the painful impression

abroad. Do the gentlemen of the Senate
Committee imagine that either they or Gen.

is interesting in considering this unbiased
opinion of one of the most cOnsidcrate and en-

that the Senate which rejects Dir. Dana voted
only little while ago TO confirm Billings, ana
that the Senators who are most responsible Tor
the action of the Committee are precisely those
who have been most conspicuous IN sustaining
the disgraceful system of allotting public
Offices which has exposed US to such contempt
in the eyes of the world. We leave
out of account the mere jobbcrs and
peddlcrs in appointments, men who 90 to Con-

practices of the Federal Administration, who
are the foremost representatives IN the Senate
of that dcmoraizinE system OF official rewards
and puniShmcnts that utter disregard OF pub

pursued the same sOrdid system long be-

These votes Show that The repNdlaIOnlsIs
have decided majority in Illinois, as now
represented, Missouri, Ohio, Tennessee.
and Virginia, and bare majority In
Kansas and Pennsylvania, while New-liamp-
shire and Wisconsin are equally divided But
the opponents of reputation have majority
in Connecticut, Iowa, Louisiana, and Michigan,
and these with the thirteen States voting, and
the two non-voting States which belong on
that side, make nineteen in all. Concedng to
the repudiationists the power to carry every
State in which they now have majority IN
Congress, and all the doubtful States, they can
carry even then only eighteen. In case the
Presidential election should be thrown into the
House, upon the issue which the Democrats
now seem determined to raise, these facts may
have especial interest.
