We have had an opportunity to Gull a
few expressions of opinion by the Dem
ocratic press of Alabama, Tennessee, Ar
kansas and Mississippi upon the Potter
Investigation business. They all with
one accord condemn it without stint, and
characterize its folly by such comments
as the following: "Shallow-pated min
MES, allowing wool to be pulled over
their eyes; have grievously Numbered;
lack grit; stirring up bad blood ; that the
majority of the Southern people do not
care three cents for the Potter resolu-
tons, knowing that the Northern people
wanted Hayes for president, and will not
take any stock in unseating him."

THE NEXT Z. s. SENATE.

There Is considerable speculation as to
the political complexion of the next U.
S. Senate. Since the rebel exodus in
1861 the Republicans have had complete
control of tho Senate, with, at times, q
majority of moro than five to one. The
Senate contains rs members. The terms
of "a expire with this Congress, in
March '79. of the remaining So, who
hold over, 20 are counted Democrats,
and % Republicans, leaving the Demo-
Gratis with majority of six. OF the "a
who 20 out, 16 are Republicans and
eight are Democrats. Two Republicans
only are quite certain to be succeeded by
Democrats. Those are Spencer, of Ala
bams, and Dorsey of Arkansas. Of the
eight Democrats who 60 out at least six
are sure to be succeeded by Democrats.
This will give the Democrats 81 in the
next Senate, and should they gain more
than we make allowance for they will
have Q majority. The following are the
members who 60 out:
Democrats-Barnum, of Connecticut,
Davis OF Maryland, McCreery Of Ken
lucky, Voorhees, of Indiana, Armstrong
of Missouri, Merrimon of North Caro-
lima, Gordon of Georgia, Eustig OF Loui-
siana-8.
Republicans-Spencer of Alabama,
Dorsey of Arkansas, Conover of Flori'
da, Conkling of New York, Cameron OF
Pennsylvania, ,Chaffee of Colorado, Pat
terson OF South. Carolins, Mathews of
Ohio, Sargent of California, Ingalls, of
Kansas, Hove of Wisconsin, Morrill, of
Vermont, vsdleigh of New Hampshire,
Oglesby of illinois, MITCHELL of Oregon
lie.
There is q necessity of lively work in
the fall elections Of 1873 among Repub-
llcans TO hold their own in the u. s.
Senate. The estimate We make of the
Democratic vote in that body is un-
doubtsdly - low - it can be made, and
We arc almos' of the conviction that it
may be increased to 40. 1t certainly
will if there is . flaw in the management
Of the party in some of the doubtful
states.

Cost of the Army and it's officers.

The people who pay the taxes and have
to foot the bills for carrying on the govern
ment have generally very imperfect idea
cause 1t is artfully constructed to keep them
in ignorance. Recent discussion and in.
vestigatlons have forced out great deal of
information. which hitherto has been sepa-
rated and hidden away in a manner that
only experts could detect. A few of the
most salient facts cannot fail to satisfy
every candid mind that the present army
is a costly burden, which ought not to be
longer borne.
According to the recent report of the
Paymaster- General, the sum required topay
the enlisted men OF the present army of
twenty-five thousand men is Sc, 068, 3S4I7
while the amount required to pay the COM
missioned officers, including allowances, is
81 1852, 63l.07. There are 2,l6S commits
stoned officers, therefore it costs a million
more in round numbers to pay them than
1t does to pay the entire army, which is
elevenfold larger numerically. The cause
of this extraordinary difference is to be
found in the excessive charges for the stat
and other favored officers, who are station
ed in the chief cities, and draw large
allowances for quarters. fuel, forage, anC
other items. The returns show that these
extracts footed up last year half a million
in Washington alone for 1l2 officers, In
Guiding Gen, Sherman.
The expenditures made by the Quarter
masters department in the last fiscal yea
aggregated $l1,S79, 7S7.58. The head o

forgery, then the testimony of Anderson

impertant,in conjunction particularly with
the undoubted fact that both were appoint

relied upon letter which is forgery, and
Mr.. Sherman distinctly intimates that those
who have exploited this letter knew it was
a forgery. The democrats 10 the house

diction to exclude Tilden ballots, and that
such dishonest and unlawful protests were
induced or encouraged by the Hayes visit.
