the New senate.
Below we print a table showing the politi-
cal complexion OF the next Senate, which
meets In special session on the 18th of Octo-
Der proxkno. ID will be seen from this that
that body will be pretty evenly divided as
regards politics, and that, In any event, the
republican majority will be much smaller
than IL has been for years past. Although
Senator Davis, OF Illinois, is classed In the
table AZ an Independent republican, he is
claimed as a republican, pure and simple,
and has been placed upon the standing COM
mittees OF the Senate as such. The follow
ing shows the composition of the Senate
republicans being printed in Roman, demo-
Gratis In italics, and the independent republic
can In small capitals-also the expiration of
the term of each:

The table IL will be seen foots up-repu olf
cans, 39i democrats, IS; and Independent re-
publicans, 1. On the meeting of the Senate
In october there will be three vacancies-
one rom South Carolina caused by the re-
tirement Of Senator Robertson, and two from
LOUISIANA, one being the vacancy caused by
the retirement of Senator West and the other
being known as the Pinchback vacancy,
which has existed for four or five years past.
The applicants for the South Carolina va
cancy are David T. Corbin, republican, and
N. C. Butler, democrat. The applicants for
N-C wv boOAsAoud NdCduCitS are w llllam
Pitt Kellogg, republican, and J. B. Eustis
and James Lewis, democrats. In view of
The overthrow OF the republican government,
In party sense, In those states IL is safe to
predict that all these vacancies will be filled
by democrats. This would give the demo-
Gratis So members In the Senate. Should the
seat OF the republican Senator from Indiana
become vacant his place would be filed by
democrat, probably by Worries or Hen
bricks, when the Senate would stand count
Ing David Davis with the republicans-re-
Publlcans, 80; democrats, 81. A few casual
lies occurring among the republican Sena-
Tors fror1 Alabama, Arkansas, Florida
Mississippi, South Carolina, and several
other states would result In giving the Senate
70 me democrats by a fair majority. That
they VIII have such a majority in the Senate
alter March 3, 1879, is almost certain. There
Is al least one advantage in a pretty even
division CT either house OF Congress, and that
Is In the more punctual attendance OF MEM
bers and their closer attention TO public busi-
ness.
