THE SENATE.-The N. Y. Herald Of
to-day says: "By the death of Senator
Morton and the certainty that the Gov
ernor of Indiana will appoint Demo-
cratic successor the slender Republican
majority of six in the Senate is reduced
to four, and to three as often as Judge
Davis votes on the Democratic side. If
Patterson, of South Carolina, should be
expelled, the Republicans will have only
majority of Two on critical occasions,
and of only one after Patterson's Demo-
cratic successor is seated. With Sharon,
of Nevada, absent, as he feels al liberty
to be a great part of the time, the Re-
publican majority would be annihilated
as soon as Patterson is replaced by a
Democrat, and the Senate would be
brought to tie on political questions.
But tie would net destroy Republican
control, since the Vice President, who is
Republican, has casting vote when
ever the Senate is equally divided. But
it must be remembered that there are
three vacant seats, and that the filling of
these may reduce the Republicans TO an
absolute minority, when the casting vote
of the Vice President cannot help them.
Louisiana is not represented in the Sem
ate at all, and South Carolina has but
one Senator. These three seats belong,
of right, to the Democrats, and if the
Democratic claimants are admitted the
Republican majority in the Senate is
hopelessly gone for the whole of Mr..
Hayes term.
Hthe republican Senators are unscrup-
ulous enough they may perhaps main~
tain their ascendancy during the Forty
fifth CongFsss by admitting kellogg
from LouisiaEa and keeping the other
untitled seats Rnt. But this would be
hazardous experiment. Judge Davis
wonld certainly vote against them in any
attempt TO perpetrate manifest iniuS-
uee, and perhaps also two or three re-
prbliean Senators who strongly approve
OF President Hayes Southern policy, If
the President was right in recognizing
the democratic State governments in
Louisiana and South Carolina the dem
ocratie Senators from those States ought
TO be admitted. 1t is only necessary that
TWO republican Senators-say Mr.. Chris
Nancy and Stanley Matthews--should
vote with Judge Davis and the demo-

was like unto the first; one OF the very
best literary entertainments ever given
IN this city. One could almost fancy he
was in the presence of some of the great
poets, prose writer's and statesmen Of
that day; their description by Mr.. Fields
and their personal appearance and con-
versation, and his recitations of their
writings seemed so accurate. The au-
dience was not so large as it should have
been, but it was very respectable in
numbers and composed of such rs are
most likely TO appreciate purely liter
ary lecture, delivered in faultless styIe
and In accurate, studied and appropriate
language. HIS meeting with Carlisle,
Dickens, George Mcdonald, George Ell
ilott, Reade and Rogers, and the descrip-
tlon OF the old poet of Garrlck, the dis
tlnguished actor, and some of the great
poets and writers that preceded him, as
dellneated by Mr.. Fields was listened to
with almost breathless attention, and
the audience left greatly delighted, but
would have been glad if Mr.. Fields could
have extended his one hour to two
ho'lrs, if they could have been as well
entertained for that time. At the con-
cluslon Of the lecture DR.. Murphey stat
ed that Mr.. Fie'ds would probably deliy-
