Nv |iltC'Go IFtOHVH very frankly
develops tir Republicans campaign
against the Senate, illus: "Ihcrc are
now torty-thrcc Democrats in the Sen.
aye, counting Davis, OF Illinois, and
ilirly-thrcc Republicans. Twenty
lvc vacancies occur in 1881, of,which
eleven seats arc now filled bv Rcpubli-
cans and fourteen by Democrats. or
the eleven outgoing Republicans one
vacancy Qhat of Bruce. Of Mississin-
pD, Is almost certain TO be filed by
The election Ola Democrat: Jefferson
Davis is the tavoritc candidate for that
seal. OF the fourteen outwoinm Demo-
Gratis, six arc from Northern States,
viz: Mcdonald, OF Indiana; Eaton. OF
CONNECTICUT; tandolpll, of New .Jcr-
scy, Herman, Of New York; Thur
man, of Ohio; Wallace, of Pcmsvl-
vania. On tic present division, and
with the present tendency, five of
these vacancies should be filled bv
Republicans. On this basis there
would be gain in 1881 Of four Re-
pubiicans in the Senate, which would
make the division in that body thirty
seven Republicans and thirty-ninc
Democrats. TWcnty-siX vacancies
Will occur in lSS3-clGvcn Republicans
and hitccn Democratic. or the eleven
Ncpublicans who go out in 1888, XVI
ioSg' $ seat from Louisiana will proba-
| Diy be sacrificed to the Democrats. or
| me 1lllccn Democrats, three are from
Northern States, viz: Grover, Of
Oregon; and if all of these three va
caiicics can be filled by Republicans,
the latter will then have thirty-nine
Senators and the Democrats only
tlnfty-Scvcn, Notwithstanding the loss
of Republican in Louisiana; if only
Two Republicans shoulu be elected to
III the places vacated by Democrats,
the Senate in 1883 would be q tic, and
inc casting vote would be with the
Vlcc-l,rcsidcnt. 1t will be seen, how
ever, that it will not be possible, ex-
ccpt through some great and .uncx-
pcctcd revolution in the politics of the
South, for the Republicans to gain the
Senate before 1888, and then only bv
clccting every Senator whom they can
reasonably hope to elect. Hence the
National Importance Of making an
equal fight for the Scnatorship and the
GUvernorship in Ohio this Year, and
heading off Ewing in tho ono as well
| as the other"
TO gain the Senate in 1888, there
fore, the Republicans mist not lose a
single trick. We fancy they will hard
~ succeed in this cndcavor. There is
too slitii n margin, and this is world
or wonderful uncertainty. Perhaps,
by 1883, there will lie no Senate at al
worth STUMBLING over: at the pres
cnt rate OF progress, that is not such Il
strange thing to anticipate.

TIE CENSUS TAKEN.-Thc Supcrin-
tcndcnt of the Census Bureau has
issued circular in relation to the
Office of cnumerator under the Census
law, in which the duties of that office
arc defined, and other informationp in
regard to tho discharge of these duties
given. The duties in tho main are
identical with those Of assistant mar
shal under the last thrcc ccnsuscs, but
the provisions Of the law regarding
tho time and the size of tho enulnera-
ton districts make tho Office differ
widely from the former. Under the
old law subdivisions were limited to
10000 inhabitants while by the pres
cnt law they arc limited to 1000, and
will be generally confined to q single
town, where the number may be oven
less. BY the old law, from juno 1 to
November l was allowed for the
enumeration, while under the present
statute it is required to be made in
June, and in cities Of moro than TO-
600 Inhabitants III two weeks from the
first Monday in June. The aggregate
amount OF compensation to oil cnllm-
cratoi cannot exceed 800, as but ono
months time is allowed, and tho pay
not to exceed 81 per diem,
