The New Senate.

The full Senate consists of sev- enty-six members. The present Senate contains forty six republi- cans and twenty nine democrats, giving the former a majority of seventeen. One of the Louisiana seats has been unoccupied for four years.
 The terms of twenty six Sena- tors regularly expire in March next. Seventeen of these are republicans, and nine arc demo- crats. In addition to supplying their places, there was the chron- ic vacancy in Louisiana to be fill ed, and Senators were to be elect ed for short terms in the room of Morrill, of Maine, who went into the treasury department, and An drew Johnson, of Tennessee, and Caperton, of West Virginia, both of whom had died.
 These elections have been held with the following exceptions and qualifications: The legisla- ture of Kansas is still ballotlng, and is sure to elect a republican ; the rival legislatures in South Carolina have each chosen a Sen ator; the rival legislatures of Louisiana will probably elect two each, one for the long term and the other to fill the vacancy. In these elections the democrats re- tained every seat which they hold in the present Senate, while, ire spective of the contested cases in South Carolina and Louisiana, they have gained five, and of course the republicans have lost accordingly; as for example: Ere linghusen of New Jel sey gives place to McPherson; Logan, ol Illinois, is supplanted by Davis; Alcorn, of Miss,sslppi, yields te Lamar; Clayton, of Arkansas, re. tires for Garland; and Hamilton of Texas goes out for Coke.
 There have been only seven re. elections of old members namely Saulsbury, of Delaware, Johnson of Virginia, Ransom, of North Carolina, and Davis, of West Vir ginia, all democrats, and Anthony of Rhode Island, Ferry, of Michi gan, and Windham, of Minneso ta, all Republicans.
 As thirty Senators have now been chosen for long terms anc short terms, with only seven re elections, twenty-three new mer will now take seats in the Senate This is probably without prece dent in the history of that House
 Without including the thre, controverted seats in Louisians and South Carolina, the Republi cans will have thirty nine mem

COTTON AGAIN!
 THE CHEATHAM TRIuM PHI ANT!

This cotton has been planted the past season in all portions of the state, and the truth verified that it is The Best Cotton ever Planted in Texas.
 That it is the most prolific, best sta- pie, most rapid in growth, and in every way far superior to any cotton known. It has proved in Texas, as it has already done in all other cot ton States, that it will do all ever claimed for it, and that the past season in Texas it did make at the rate of from
 Two to four bales per Acre on up lands: and 1 will furnish numbers of good certificates testify ing to the above, to all who will send me their name and address, also circulars with full information. And now again offer these seed for sale, and refer to the cotton itself as to its merit, and guarantee the seed to be fresh and genuine. And as l propose this season to have no trav- cling agents, but to deal directly with the farmer, allowing them to make the commission heretofore given to agents, we are enabled to put the seed down to the following prices:
 5,000 seed, $1.00; one peck $3.00; one half bushel, 5000; one bushel, 5000; five bushel $40.00; ten bush el, $75.00.
 And l warn people against buying seed from any agent, for will have no agents, except to canvass for orders. No one will be allowed to handle the seed but myself, and the only place you can get the Cheat han Cotton Seed, warranted pure and genuine, and direct from the proprietor, will be from my office in Houston; and if you buy from agents peddling them, you have to risk them being Cheatham seed. We do this to protect both ourselves and the farmer from being imposed npon | by numerous agents who will doubtless flood the country propos- ing to sell the Cheatham Cotton Seed, and claiming to be authorized ageDls of ours.
 CLUB RATES AND TERMS. | Any one getting up a club to take five bushel of seed, and sending me $40.O0 cash, I will send him 1s bushel extra; or for club to take ten bushel with $75 cash, I will send the gctter up one bushel extra. Our terms as before will be cash. and ill order to save c. 0. D. express charges, require the cash to accom- pany all orders.
 Money can be sent by post office money order, registered letter or by express, and the seed will be shin, ped by freight or express as direct ed, except the one dollar packages which will send by mail. l To Grange Masters or Secretaries who desire to get up clubs in thei, Oranges, will make special ar. engagements if they will apply te me. Also to parties desiring tt canvas for orders.
 Parties ordering for q club mus send the name and address of eacl party, and the amount of seed the, take, so l can ship direct to eaci one; or if they prefer it, l will shir all the seed together to some reliable merchant, which will make tn, freight lighter.

FORTY YEARS sEFoRE THE PUBII1 DR. c. MCLANES
 cELEBRATED LIVE R PILLS,
Hepatitis or Liver Complaint, DYSPEPSIA AND SICK HEADACHE.
TOR rHH CUBE ol

Symptoms of a Diseased Liver. InAIN in the right side, under the edge of the ribs, increases on pres sure; sometimes the pain is in the left side; the patient is rarely able to lie on the left side; sometimes the pain is felt under the shoulder-blade, and it frequently extends to the top of the shoulder, and is sometimes mis- taken for a rheumatism in the arm. The stomach is affected with loss e appetite and sickness; the bowels in general are costive, sometimes alter native with lax; the head is troubled with pain, accompanied with a dull, heavy sensation in the back part. There sgenera.lv considerable loss ofmemory, accompanied with a pain full scnsat;oo of having left undone something which ought to have been done. A slight, dry cough is some times an attendant. The patient complains ofweariness and debility; he is easily startled, his feet are cold or burning, and he complains of prickly sensation of the skin; his spirits are low; and although lie is satisfied that exercise would be bene- ficial to him, yet he can scarcely summon up fortitude enough to try it. In fact, he distrusts every rem edy. Several of the above symp- toms attend the disease, but cases have occurred where few of them ex isted, yet examination of the body, after death, has shown the LIVER to have been extensively deranged.
 AGUE AND FEVER.
 DR. C. McLANE's LIVER PILLS, IN CASES OF AGUE AND FEVER, when taken with Quinine, are productive of the most happy results. No better cathartic can be used, preparatory to, or after taking Quinine. We would advise all who are affl licted with this disease to give them A FAIR TRIAL.
 For all Bilious Arrangements, and as simple purgative, they are un- equaled.
 BEWARE OF LIMITATIONS.
 The genuine DR. C. McLANE's LIVER PILLS are never sugar coated.
 Every box has a red wax seal on  the lid, with the impression DR. McLANE's LIVER PILLS.
 The genuine MeLANE's LIVER PILLS bear the signatures of C. McLANE and FLEMING BROS. on the wrappers.
 B1r Insist on your druggist or storekeeper giving you the genuine DR. C. McLANE's LIVER PILLS, pre- pared by Fleming Bros, Pittsburgh, Pa.
 Sold by all respectable druggists and country storekeepers generally.
 To those wishing to give DR. C. MeLANzs LIVER PILLS trial, we will mail post paid to any part of the United States, one box of Pills for twenty-five cepts

 Mir. Hayes counsel plead the statue of limitations against the rectification of the Florida frauds. The electoral tribunal should remember, during the I.enten days, the example of our Lord, when tempted by the Devil.
 When the Supreme Court refuses to follow its own precedents, it can hardly be worth while to quote Edmunds and Hoar against Ed munds and Hoar.
 If George F. Hoar votes that the Louisiana returning board was lawful board, he will per jurc himself, as he has heretofore decided that it was illgally con- stituted.
 Kellogg's telegram to Packard that "all hell cannot prevail against our cause" is probably correct, as there are no indlca tions of Kellogg, Packard and hell having dissolved partnership.
 It is eighty seven years since the constitution was ratified by the original thirteen states, and now, by vote of eight to seven, it dies. Eighty seven-eight tc seven-these are significant fig urcs,
