The Morristown Gazette.
FROM THE NEW YORK SUN.

Exultant ever the success in Ohio,
some of the Republicans are claim
ing their ability to elect the next
President. and to sweep out of
power the present Democratic ma
jority OF the Senate in 1881.
At present the Senate stands for
ty-twoDemocrats.thirty-three Repub-
licaus, and one Independent, David
Davis. Thus the Democrats have
nine majority over the Republicans,
or eight majority over all. OF the
seventy six Senators there are
twenty-five whose term will expire
ON March 8, 1881. The eleven States
or California, Maine, Massachusetts,
Michigan, Minnesota. Nebraska,
Nevada. Ohio lin place OF Thurman).
Rhode Island, Vermont, and Wis
consin will certainly return Repub-
Iican Senators. The nine States of
Delaware, Florida, Maryland, Mis-
sissippi lin place of Bruce, Missouri,
Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, and
West Virginia will certainly return
Democratic Senators.
Twenty-Five new Senators are
thus accounted for. with a gain of
one on each side, leaving the rela-
tive situation of the two parties I'M
changed. The remaining five seats
are now filed by Messrs. Eaton of
Connecticut, Mcdonald of Indiana,
Herman of New York, Randolph, !
Of New Jersy, and Wallace Of |
Pennsylvania. The Republicans have
the present Legislatures of Connec-
ticut, New York, New Jersey, and
Pennsylvania. The Democrats have
that of Indiana. In the elections to
be held in these States, the proba-
bility is that each party will hold its
0wn. In that case, the new Senate
would stand thirty-eight Democrats, !
thirty-seven Republicans, and one
Independent. Should the Repub
licans carry Indiana, the two parties
would change places, and the Re-
publicans would have thirty-eight {
votes. and the Democrats thirty
seven votes, with one Independent,
who. by voting with the Democrats, I
would give the new Vice President }
the casting voice, and transform his )
negative functions into controlling
power in the legislation of that /
body. a
1t is thus seen that, conceding G
every seat claimed by the Repub- I
leans. even including that for In /
diana, they would still be without q
ga actual majority in the Senate in .
1881. In either of the contingent '
sizes presented, Judge Davis could
tie the Senate. Then the result a
would depend entirely upon the u
political complexion of the next {
Vice President.

PeltOn's Confessions.

There may be worse witnesses than Colonel
William T. Pelton, but we never saw one.
He was on the stand yesterday for eight hours
and half, and when he was dismissed there
was little or nothing left of him. He was
not only dreadfally embarrassed hesitating and
contradictory on the cross-examination, but
even his direct testimony was painful exhi-
bition from the very start. At one time in
the afternoon, Mr.. Reed, in demonstrating
against an interruption, took occasion to re-
mark that the witness was ''middling willing
to answer, and he did not wish the spell to be
broken but this is to be understood only as
one of those bright and good-humored sallies
with which the genial gentleman from Maine
sometimes enlivens the proceedings The
witness seemed all through the day like one
who has much to conceal; and although his
testimony so far as it affected Mr. Tildsn was
certainly plain enough, the impression which
he produced upon the spectators was extreme
ly unfortunate. We do not mean this as
criticism upon his evidence, but as description
of the effect of his outward demeanor. which he
probably could not help. Nearly all that he
said in reply 10 the questions of his own side
was slowly dragged out of him, and most of
what he said to Messrs. Hiscock and Reed
was so long in coming we despaired of it be-
fore it appeared. He evaded he prevarieat-
Gu ne blaulmeTeu; ne explained; he IN
volved himself hopelessly in messes and
muddles; he was sometimes five or ten min
utes in answering yes or no; he managed to
attract the finger Of suspicion by turns to his
uncle and to the Democratic National Com
mittee. On the whole, he probably did his
side as much harm as any man is likely to do
in n single day.
So far as he spoke at all of the genuine
ness Of the dispatches and the accuracy of
the translations, Colonel Pelton fully CON
frmed the Tribune. Like Mr.. Smith Weed
he had lost his keys, lost his memory, and
lost his interest in the transactions Of 1876
so far that he had taken no pains to verify
the kilograms imputed to him. He would
say nothing, therefore, about the text Of any
dispatch except ~ do not remember" or 81
can't say" But he freely admitted that the
sense of the translations in all cases agreed
with such memory as remained to him. He
acknowledged the signature '.Denmark." ac
knowledged receiving oil the Henry Have

est extent. the series of cipher communica
tions in which he received and accepted the

The Close Time for Trout.
. the Editor Of Tie Keanebee Journal !:


JAMAICA PLAINS, Feb. 9th, 1879.
In your daily of Feb. 4th, l find reply
from w. NJ. Bracket of Boston, to Mr. w.
NJ. Skilings' able and intelligent article on
the close time for brook trout published in
your paper few days ago. 1 find from care
full perusal that it contains the same old
worn-out and hackneyed points made by all
who are in opposition to extending the fall
fishing.
Mr. Bracket quotes from Mr. Skillings'
letter, wherein he says, that ''the universal
sentiment among them (the Maine people) /,
seems to be prolongation of the fall fish
ing" In this statement, Mr.. Skillings is cor
rect as far as my observation and experience
go, and | have talked with hundreds of
Maine people on the subject, and have several
letters in my possession now from citizens of
Maine, who have asked me to reply to
Blanchard's letter in the Maine Farmer, which
| have done.
Mr.. Bracket SAYS sit is suicidal to allow
trout to be taken on their spawning grounds,
where they are huddled together like sheep in a
fold" No sane man can deny this But who
is going TO take them there? In nine years
experience at Rangeey Lakes, I have never
seen trout slaughtered in any such wholesale
manner. But on the contrary, during the
month of June. | have seen thousands of
trout wanted destroyed because the parties
were trying to take large fish. which is not
an easy thing in the spring. know one par
who took 1870 pounds of trout one day last
May, two-thirds Of which were thrown away,
because the parties were trying to get some
large fish to carry home. Another party who
were there the last of MAY or first of June.
who did the most of their fishing with gang
hooks, and were some Of the loudest ranters
about cutting off the fall fishing, and similar
nonsense, took fire hundred pounds Of trout,
great part of which spoiled on their hands,
besides all they wounded and lost with their
Internal tackle. many of which doubtless died.
Single individuals in May and June last year
took anywhere tom 20 to 60 pounds cf fish 9
day, in their misguided efforts to get large
trout. i met one gentleman at a camp at the
kangeiey Lakes two years ago in June who
had Just come in from fishing, with string Of
trout from half pound TO two pounds in
weight, the lot probably would go over forty
pounds. l remarked that he had fine string
OF trout. yes" he replied, 'but would
give them all for one eight or ten pornder. .
