The Presidency OF THE SENATE has
assumed great importance Of late, in view oil
contingencies which may arise 10 prevent
the contamination of the election OF Presl,
dent and Vice-President of the United
States. Washington despatch to the Tn
6ttne, says:
There has been good deal of discussion
in Republican circles as to who is the best
man to put in the place. The present in
cumbent, Mr.. Ferry, of Michigan, holds
until the 4th Of March if no action is taken,
but as his term expires then, it is probable
that he will resign either before or imme-
diately after the counting of the elestoral
votes in February, so as to leave the Senate
free to fill the place with some one selected
with special view to the important respon-
sibilities that may devolve upon him. Mr..
Anthony is suggested on account of his
former acceptable service, Mr.. Morton be-
cause Of his force of character, Mr.. Conkling
by reason of his talents and large constitu-
ency, Mr. Sherman for his long eminence in
the party and his excellent record on finan-
cial questions, Mr.. HamlIn because he was
once Vice-Prssident. Mr. Allison, Mr.. Nor
rili, Mr.. Elmunds, and Mr.. Booth are also
mentioned. The choice will, if Mr. Blaine
is thought not to be eligible, probably DO be-
tween Mr.. Sherman, Mr.. Conkling, and Mr..
Anthony. and would be most likely to fall
upon Mr.. Sherman, were it not that Ohio
has already obtained such dnpOportionate
share Of important public positions.

DIsooNTINrFD.-In the action brought BY
Francis d. Moulton against Henry Ward
Beecher, motion was made by the defend
ant TO change the place OF trial from the
city Of Brooklyn TO some interior county OF
the State. upon the grounds l. That an
impartial jury could not be obtained either
in Brooklyn or in New York city: .. That
if tried in either city the case would occupy
so long time as to block up other suits /;
3. That the case could be tried in the coun-
try in one third of the time, and at one third
of the expense which would be required in
the cities. Upon these grounds, Judge West
brook has granted the motion, giving leave
TO both parties to suggest any county %hich
might seem to them preferable. Mr.. Moul-
ton, however, early ON Monday morning,
procured and served an order giving him
leave to discontinue his suit upon payment
Of all costs. This he has legal right to
do but it should be distinctly understood
that this step is taken without any consent
Of the defendant or his counsel. With re-
gard to the expense of trial in the country,
it was stated on the argument of the mo-
ton, without contradiction. that owing to
the low rates Of fees charged by lawyers out
side of the large cities each party would save,
in counsel fees alone, three times as much
as the total expense Of witnesses fees, and
travelling expenses of parties, witnesses and
counsel. This estimate errs only in being
far too moderate Christian Union.

Sam'l J. Tilden has been elected President
and he will be inaugurated.-
The people have cast their ballots, and
propose to have them counted as they were
cast the of6ce-holdeU propose, If necessary,
to count in a President who will not reform
them out of office and into jail. That is the
whole story.
1t is apparently to be reserved for this
party 1.-THE Republican, to inAics upon this
country the browning disgrace of attempting
to count in President. No party ever be-
fore did anything so shameful.
The Republican thieves were seen to be
desperate during the campaign just closed,
but it was never supposed that they were so
desperate as to attempt to carry an election
By force and fraud, which they could not
carry by honest ballots.
We doubt if any law-abiding citizen was
in tie l,ast prepared for the spectacle that
now presents itself of a party beaten at the
polls using the long arm of the Federal Gov
eminent TO turn the electoral votes OF States
which undoubtedly voted for Tilden against
| Tilden, and marching troops into States
whore there Is no possible pretext for their
pessnce, in order that fraud may be safely
conSumated. They the
peo;lel will not submit 10 count manlpu-
| lated bv Returning Boards and oyerShadow-
ed by Federal bayonets.

The Burlington Sentinel, and are samples Of
the way in which it strives to infame the
passions Of it. more Ignorant readers, and
in which it insults the order-loying and
laH-abiiiug ci'z,4s not CT its political
faith, who lvrn tie majority of the COM
munty in which i: is published. The Sen
linsl, be it remembered, Is talking of close
election, which all fair men of both parties
concede can only be settled by the official
counts cl the votes Of certain States-which
counts have not yet been made.
