use their influence to stay all further
proceedings against him, and that the
Democratic papers throughout the State
favor his course in voting for Butler.
In the exuberance of his Joy he expresses
special pride in his speech assailing the
President, and intimates that he has re-
ceived over 400 letters from Republic
ans (?) in the North commenting his
course.
In view of Renegade Patterson's hap
piness and the general outburst of JOY
in the Democratic camp, it may be well
to inquire into the reasons for it. What
have they accomplished? Patterson
has saved himself from the Peniten-
tiary, and his Joy over it is confession
of his perfidy to his party. He has
kept his seat in the Senate to which he
was elected by bribery, for which he
was indicted with sufficient evidence on
that score to have sent him to the Peni-
tentiary. To keep himself in the SEN
ate and out of the Penitentiary he gave
the casting vote 10 fill vacant seat in
the Senate with man who was not
elected to it, and that man principally
notorious as the hero of the Hamburg
massacre, and kept out the man who
was legally elected. Knowing that
Senator David Davis, Notwithstanding
his strong Democratic bias, would not
vote for Butler upon the law of the
case and the facts before him, he left
his party and voted for Butler, whereas,
had he not been afraid of the Peniten-
tiary, he would have voted for Corbin
who was elected. BY his perfidy,
therefore, the Democrats have gained
two accessions to their power in the
| Senate-a man who sold his vote and
| himself to escape the States Prison,
and q man who was not elected to his
seat. In other words, man who was
| never elected is given his seat by PEN
itentiary candidate, and over this COM
pounding of afelony and double rascality
| Renegade Patterson and his fellow
Democrats are rejoicing. The former
| finds additional cause for joy in the re-
ceipt of 400 letters from Republicans
in the North commenting his course.
The word of man who will sell his
vote and his very manhood to escape
the Penitentiary is not implicitly to be
trusted. He may have received 400
letters, forty letters, or four letters, or
| no leJleTS. 1neTG are undoubtedly Oluer
carpet-baggers who have absconded
from the South and had no opportuni-
ty to secure immunity from the Peni-
tentiary by selling their votes, their only
immunity depending upon keeping as
far away from the South as possible,
who sympathize with him. There are
undoubtedly bulldozers in the North as
well as the South, who believe in the
dirty kind of politics illustrated by Pat
terson's course, who sympathize with
him. There never yet was a dirty bird
who did not have other dirty birds to
sympathize with him. But if ever man
in this country was regarded with utter
contempt and loathing by all respecta-
BILE men, whether Republicans or Dem
ocrats, that man is Renegade Patter.

In the executive session of the Senate, on the

terized his ciyil-service reform as a mere pre-
tense intended to deceive the public. He said
the Presidents action was in violation of the
Tenure-of-Ofiiee act. Thurman (Ohio) sus-
tained Conkling, and denounced as renegades
the Democrats who accept Office from a Presi-
dent whose election they opposed and whose
title every Democrat believes to be fraudu-
lent. He commented severely upon the re-
moyal Of the Toledo Postmaster, which he
said was done In pursuance of a contract to
elect Matthews to the Senate. The latter de-
MED Thurnan's charge and defended the Pres
dent, arguing that his motives could not be

.lOquy between COnkling and Matthews, Voor.

A Political Almanac of the Senate.

Now that the struggle for the polit-
ical control of the Senate is concluded
for the present, it is time to make up
the official returns and see how the SEN
ate stands. The Republicans have
gained Kellogg, the Democrats Butler,
and Eustis is still knocking at the door.
Counting Conover and Patterson, the
Republicans have thirty-nine Senators,
and the Democrats, including Davis, of
Illinois, thirty-six. But one of the Re-
publicans, Sharon, is habitually absent
without pair, so that the Republican
side is practically reduced to thirty
eight. 1t is probable, also, that Eustis
will soon be admitted, increasing the
Democratic side to thirty-seven. Or,
