WASHINGTON, D. c.. Nov. IS. 1877.
Whist was shown in lows, in Penusylys-
mis-, In Ohio, and in other States at the late
electons-'he decentralization and breaking
up OF the Republican psrty-S shown now
in its last place Of power, the Senate. The
party died hard ycously. Some Of its
members, as Blaine, Hamlin. and others,
stay away or fly away in radical disgust ST
what the last year has developed. The re-
mA!rier say 10y and oitc and sting as the
inevitable hour Of doom approaches. At
this writing The Senators are listening 20
the Constitution Of South Carolina, iRjec-
ted into The debate on the BusIer case by
set Of the presiding officer Of The Senate
The same ruling would sdmi: the reading
Of CoopeI'S or Wm. Gilmore Simm's novel.
but stter this ftful fever of opposition
expect the Republicans 10 remember that
they are miSbehaving themselves and TO
submit to that which, however distssteful
- them, is manitestly the wish Of the ma
jorisy. Whether they do or not, the ad-
mission Of Butler at this time or in the nesr
future Is certain, aud with that admission
and BY reason Of the bitterness crested by
the indecent warfare made by Edmunds
upon Conorer and Patterson. the Senate
becomes Democratic.
The proper committee Yesterday reported
favorae]y upon The nomination of Gerl
John N. Harlan, Of kentucey. as Justice
OF the Supreme Court, It's possible. how
ever. that there will be CONTEST in the open
