HowIT STANDS FOR 1890.

In the next Congress the Senate will
stand 80 Republicans and 43 Demo-
Gratis, counting Judge Davis, of Hi
nois, as a Democrat. The House of
Representatives will probably stand
1872 Republicans, l47 Democrats and
10 GreenbackerS. But the States
which have gone Republican in their
latest elections have POI electoral
votes, against 1856 electoral votes in
the States which were Democratic at
the last elections. The Democratic
States comprise the "solid south" In
diana and Oregon. All these, except
Oregon, are pretty sure to be Demo-
cratic in 1864 total of 1873 electoral
votes. The certain Republican States
are Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont,
Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Penn
sylvania, Illinois, Michigan, Wiscon-
sin, Minnesota, Iowa, Kansas, Ne
braska and Colorado-casting 1872
electoral votes. Doubttul-New York,
New Jersey, Connecticut, Ohio, Ore
gon, California and Nevada, with 81
votes. In the States last named is
the battle-ground. The party which so
conducts its business as to commend
itself to the people Of these States will
win. The Democrats need to secure
20 votes from the doubtful States,
while the Republicans need 50 votes
All these doubtful States went Re.

many parts Of the globe, though very
young, he was drafted into Napoleon
Bonaparte's army, while in France,

SENATOR PARKER.

The Sunday Revie,o recently gave a
very readable sketch of the members
of the State Senate. OF the member
from Lamoille it says:

forehead, light, drab-colored hair, and 4
reddish chin-whiskers, cropped into a
sharp angle somewhat out from the chin.

clouds. He is 50 years of age and wears
eyeglasses. Senator Parker is Il lawyer
and received an academical education at
johnson. lie was States Attorney of his
county two years, and served three terms
in the House of Representatives, besides

Gus railroad men from all over the State
the question being shall the great State OF
Vermont stop Gen. Burt's railroad across
its southwestern corner in the interest o.
Mr.. Robinson of the Troy & Boston. Mr.
Parker is one of those men who say but
little in the Senate, but whose influence
no doubt goes further and is felt more
than that of any other Senator. Tht

no change of policy towards the South

The SILVER QUESTION.

In reply to our calling attention to the
He,ald'S standing quotation Of silver at
"buying, o6; selling, Ioo," in refutation
Of its daily charge that the silver dollar
is only worth oI or 92 cents, our neigh
Dor says: "The quotations of silver re-
ferred to are for greenbacks, not gold.
The market value of the small coins is
equal to that of greenbacks because the
total amount coined is limited by law
to $50, 1000, 900, scarcely enough to sup
ply the country with small change. Silver
dimes, quarters, and halves pass current
at par in greenbacks for the same
reason that the paper fractional currenN
cy used to, and without any reference to
their intrinsic value" This does not
meet the case. True, the quotations are
for greenbacks; but 80 are the quotations
for gold, in the same report, for greens
backs. These quotations. too, are COM
prehen sive in their applications: they
are not confined to small change, but
cover all classes of our silver coinage.
The Herald and other opponents of
remonetzalion, charge thatit is proposed
to make legal tender dollar nOw worth
only o. cents, and at discount with pa>
per, when its own quotations show that
the silver dollar in question cannot be
bought for a fraction of a cent less than
par with paper. and that is at discount
with gold or less than three cents-and
demonetized at that! What rate it may
reasonably he expected to achieve, after
RECOMMENDATION, any intelligent man can
calculate. Dealer,

Fraudulency:
If Mr.. Hayes believes there was the
least or wrong or any fraud down South
of any description that justified him in
abandoning the men who stood by him
through thick and thin, he oughtto have
told US, and let us abandon his election,
and by so doing wash our hands Of the
whole matter. l believe it was the first
duty of Mr.. Hayes to find out whether
he was honestly and truly elected Presi-
dent of the United States, and finding
that to be so, 10 sustain every man on the
same ticket in his place by every man
and every dollar at his command. Ap
plause, l have no respect for a man
who will dishonor his mothers marriage

HayeS's duty to the Republican party,
which elected him, to sustain the men
who sustained him.

ETERNAL PUNISHMENT.
Extracts From Canon Fdrar'S Sermon al
WestminStef Abbey,

We print two extracts from Canon Far
rars sermon on eternal punishment,
which has produced so profound an inn
preston in the orthodox churches in Eng
land. After speaking oFthOse persons who
take loose conjectures for established GER
tainties, and care more for authority than
for reason and conscience" DR.. Farrar
announced as his belief that faith must
have q broader basis than the ambiguops.
ness Of opposing textsI that reason and
conscience and experience, no less than
the Scripture, are books OF God, and that
they, too, must have a direct voice In
these great decisions.
"He knew Of nothing 30 calculated to
make the whole soul revolt with loathing
from every doctrine OF religion as the
easy complacency with which some per.
sons cheerfully accept the belief that
they are living and moving In the midst
of millions doomed irreversibly to ever
lasting perdition. No language could be
stern enough to reprobate the manner
in which many elder brothers OF the
Prodi0al had turned Gods Gospel ofplen-
teous redemption into anathemas and all
but universal perdition. If we were not
unaffected when the destitute perish with
hunger or the dying agonize in pain was
there any human being worthy OF the
dignity Of human being who did not
revolt and siCken atthe notion ofa world
in flameP"
The texts on which the doctrine is
founded, said the preacher, are
"In the first place alien to the broad
uniiying principles of Scripture; in the
next place, they are founded on interpre-
tations demonstrably groundless; and, in
the third place, for every one 80 quoted
two can be adduCed on the other side."
He proceeded
"If this awful doctrine had to be deci-
ded by texts, then the original language
must be appealed to and interpreted in
its proper and historicsl significance.

about hell if we calmly and deliberately
