two Democrats are succeeded by Democrats
OF the six Democratic Senators whose sue
cessors are still to be elected, only two are In
doubt. OF the Republican Senators six are
certain to be succeeded by Democrats, while
several others are In doubt. Leaving, there
fore, the doubtful cases to stand rs they now
are, the Senate In 1870 cannot have less than
ten Democratic majority
In the House the Democrats have II ma
jority. OF the doubtful members, those hold
ing their seats by maiorities less than 1000 "a
are Republicans and 10 Democrats. There
would seem, therefore. to be rs little doubt
bhat the next House Of Representatives will
be Democratic as that the next Senate
will be.
We may safely look forward, therefore, to
1879 rs the year when the Republicans will
lose their cDnsrol over Cong ress a control
they have misused for seventeen years.

That monstrous nuisance OF New York
City, Bergh, the dog protector protested
some time ago against the killing or poison
ing OF dogs supposed to be mad. There WAS,
he insisted, no harm in mad dogs; hydro
phobia could not be transmitted by their
bite, was not catching, but q disease solely of
the imagination.
A physician who believed In hydrophoba
and advocated DOG killing opposed Bergh
and challenged him to a. trial and investga-
ton of the question. He the hydrophobisO
agreed to put up $1,000 as a stake. Bergh
was then to allow himself to be inoculated
with the virus Of a mad dog. If he devel-
oped hydrophobia, the bet was Cancelled; II
he escaped without injury, he won the $4,000
To this proposition, seemingly perfectly
fair, just and proper, Bergh returned an en-
phatic and angry negative; the offer was i'm
pertinent, he said. insulting and absurd.
It was thought that the matter had ended
here; but proposition appeared In the
Herald the other day, on the part Of an en-
gineer, Offering to take Bergh's place in the
hydrophobia experiment on the same terms
offered that philanthropist. The engineer
announced that, like Bergh. he believed that
nyuTOpnoDld COuiu uob be northumberland ny
dogs bite. and that it was the result alto
gether OF the imagination; that no person
OF strong mind and interpretations. could
be frightened into it; in fine, he was willing
to try the experiment and allow himself to be
bitten by mad dog.
The Northumberland this offer and found
1t genuine The man making it was in com
paratively good crcumstances-an honest
infidel to hydrophobia, and willing to risk his
life In support Of his belief. 1t accordingly
called on the hydrophobist to accept the offer,
unless his original bet was simply intended
to worry Bergh.
The hydrophoblst accepted the offer at
once and agreed to put up the money; he
made one condition, however-Bergh was to
publicly proclaim the person trying this ex-
pertinent as his substitute. AS that nuisance
has been worrying all New York with his mad
dog theory for years, the hydrophobist wants
to make this a test case; if the inoculated
poison develops hydrophobia then Bergh is
to publicly acknowledge the corn and re-
uo,,nce his heretical views on the subject OF
hydrophotia, and vice versa. On this petty
difference the question hangs. 1t Is more
than probable that Bergh will be soon COM
nelIed to yield and thus allow the experiment
AZ snon. therefore, as this difference can
ha eattIad the experiment will be publicly
fried in New York. AS warm weather is ap-

On the twenty third Of this month the
Spanish residents of New York city will cele-
brate the anniversary Of the death Of Ger
vantes, the distinguished author Of Don
Quixote. The anniversary chosen to be cele-
brated Is. to say the least, quesr one. 1t is
no unusual thing for a people to celebrate the
anniversary OF the birth of a hero great
national poet or even great novelist. but to
rejoice over the anssiyersary Of his death GER
tainly looks like an expression Of popular de
light at his taking Off,
The other day, when Lord Leltrfm's fune-
raj cortege moved through the streets of
Dublin, the people OF that city congregated
around IL and sent up shouts and yells Of JOY
they were 80 delighted that his lordship was
gone. With this single exception, we know
OF no instance where mans death has ever
been turned into great national festival
Lest II be thought however. that the
Spaniards celebrate Cervantes' death because
they rejoice over his departure from this
world. 1t may be we'll 70 explain that the an
niversary Of this unhappy event Is celebrated
because 1t alone of all the important events
In Cervantes' life Is known. The date Of his
birth is unknown and undiscoverable. The
Castilians are compelled. In consequence, If
they desire to honor Cervantes' memory at
all, to celebrate the anniversary of his death.

the government, and as appears from the evdeueS
the snm has never been satisfactorily accounted
for.
The business rs at present instituted conducted
and continued, is simply license to IN agent and

name OF the United States of America. Evidepce
has been numerous of the accumulation Of for
tunes by persons in that service, upon salaries
that would barely provide for the necesssries Of

and year by year less in resort to arms the only
logical recourse OF bsrbsrous people, and when
1t Is known that cupidity, mefiiciency and the
most barefsced dishonesty have been the sources
OF sudden fortunes and Indian wars it may well
be asked who is to be asked who is to be blamed
and whence the remedy.
The board conclude by saying: "such are the
results OF dishonest practices in the management
OF Indian affairs, and the necessity to uncover
and secure the punishment Of such persons, must
therefore be considered one OF the FIRST duties Of

THE PATENT OFFICE.
The New York Custom House Officers

WASHINGTON, January 7. The destruction of
the greater number of models in the patent Office
fire has started movement among inventors Tor
radical change in the patent law.
1t Is claimed the present cost of patents is ex-
cesslve and greatly detrimental to Invention and
national progress.
1t Is proposed to abolish models and exam ina
tons, granting patents to all who apply, as in
England leaving the right to Inventions To be con-
tested in court
Inc in'eutor is to pay the patent office for
drawings for printed specifications, and the pa
tent, oil which the average cost is about five dol
lars.
1t is claimed that this reduction would not only
greatly induce invention, but will cause the intro
duclon IN even greater ratio, as national progress
is dependent upon the numser of useful inven-
tons introduced.

ington despatch says the President has concluded,
