1t will be seen by this table that the con-
troll Of the Senate will on the above men
toned date pass into the hands of the Demo-
Gratis. The Senate stands at present Repub.
licans 80, Democrats 36, Independents 1. 1t
will stand Republicans 33, Democrats AZ,
Independent l. Only seven of the twenty
five retiring Senators have been re-electeds
Messrs. Allison, Jones, Conkling, Cameron
and Morrill,, Republicans, and Gordon and
VOORHEES,, Democrats. Of the new Senators,
Messrs. Logan and Carpenter are the only
ones who have ever served in the Senate
before.
Should an extra session be called the DEM
ocrats will of course reorganize the Senate
and its committees. In that case it is said
Ben Hill will succeed Wadlelgh as chairman
OF the committee on privileges and elections !;
Gordon will succeed COnkling as the head OF
the committee on commerce; Thurman will
be chairman of the Judiciary; Randolph of
the Military; White of the Naval; johnson
of Manufactures; Davis, of West Virginia,
OF Agriculture; Salisbury of Postofices !;
Macdonald of Public Lands; Withers of
Pensions; Cockrell OF Claims; Garland of
Territories; Lamar of Education; Beck of
Civil Service. The Craftsmanship of the Fl
nance Committee is in doubt. Bayard is en-
titled to it, but his hardmoney views are dis
tasteful to some of his colleagues, and Wal
lace may get the place. In that case Bayard
would probably be Chairman of Foreign
Affairs. One thing is certain, the Democrats
will have their own sweet will.

The Democrats just now are bending their
energies to the herculean task of keeping
Gen. Bragg of Wisconsin quiet. Bragg, it
will be remembered, is the Democratic rep
resentative who told the Southerners the
other day that it they we're going to persist
in their demands for war claims the Demo-
cratic party would be better off without
them. Since then three Democratic news
papers in Washington have attacked him
fiercely and good many Northern Demo-
cratic representatives have expostulated with
him in private. All IN vain, however, for
Gen. Bragg is determined to follow up his
assault, aud Chalmers and Hooker have pre-
pared fierce speeches to be fred off at the
first opportunity. Some of the Democratic
newspapers, a very few, for the most of them,
like Northern Democratic Congressman, be-
long to the doughface order, support Gen.
Bragg in this controversy. The most con-
spicuous is the Washington Sunday Herald,
which INDUCES in this plain talk:
eve are unable to see why Gen. Bragg's
speech should have raised such furry 1t
may as well be believed first as last that the
Democratic party at the North cannot live if it
Is understood that Democratic success means
placing the national Treasury at the mercy of
tnat minority, but active and virulept minority,
at the South who consider Democratic success
the only means Of allowing their section to re-
cover the losses OF war and of years of recon-
struction. A careful resdiug Of Mr.. Brage's
speech fails to find sufficient provocation for
tne explosion OF wrath W hich has followed

The Shoe and Leather Reporter appears
to think we have plucked the flower safety
from the nettle danger. 1t says: There is
nothing so potent as the spur of necessity to
bring out the latent energies of the country,
and evoke its full productive power. The
wonderful progress that has been made with
in the past five years is attributable mainly
to the universal prevalence of the feeling that
every thing had fallen into a very bad con-
dition, and that vigorous measures must be
adopted to repair damages. Before the crash
came, scarcely anybody seemed to be aware
that we were plunging deeper and deeper in
to difficulties; that people who imagined they
were making money were merely treasuring
up unto themselves "wrath against the day OF
wrath," by adding scores to the debtor and
creditor account, which would prove very
troublesome by and by. But just as soon as
the great awakening came-when it was dis
covered that there was an amazing difference
betweet real property and paper outlines Of it
that inherent force of character which is the
sure guarantee that American pluck is equal
to encountering and overcoming every phase
of misfortune, began to assert itself in
thorough earnest. Then everybody who
could get anything to do, set to work TO help
retrieve the losses which long career Of ex-
travagance and .indiscretion had occasioned.

1t is said that over 400 hundred sailing ves-
sells have been lost since October LIST. Some
think that this may revive our shipbuilding
trade, others that this fact will not help us at
all, but only make the prospect worse. ss many
vessels were not insured ct all, and others only
partially, thus impoverishing owners and
builders. Some believe that if 400 more were
lost this winter or abandoned at sea, even that
would not help our shipyards. They say that
there are more vessels tn An business for them
that steamers make such quick voyages and
great dispatch can do the whole carrying trade
of this country.
A clock made entirely of bread has lately
been received in Milan, Italy, from Peru. 1t
was constructed by an Indian, who, having
no means of purchasing material, saved
portion of the soft part Of his daily bread Tor
the purpose. He solidifed 1t with certain
salt, which rendered it very hard and insoiupie
in water. The clock keeps good time and the
case, also of hardened bread, displays artistic
taste.

AN Interesting libel suit has inst heen n

AN interesting libel suit has just been de
cided in the United States Court in New
York. A Washington despatch published in
the Times of New York some months ago set
forth "that one Colonel Keitt, of Newberry,
5. Co. had been arrested and Eeld to await
the action of the Grand Jury at that place on
charge of bigamy; that he was a near rela-
tive of Lawrence NJ. Keitt, who was some
what conspicuous in Congress before the
war, and that the expose would make a
stlr among the best people in that section"
The bigamist, in fact, was Thomas Keitt,
member OF the Legislature. The plaintiff
in the libel suit, Mr.. Ellison S. Keitt, was
resident of Newberry, was brother of the
late Lawrence NJ. Keitt, and was generally
known as "Colonel" Keltt. He was man
of pure character, and of course guitless of
the offence named. COnceiving himself to be
described in the publication and to have been
injuriously affected by it, he brought his ac-
tion tor $4,000. There was evidence in the
case to show that the colored man, "was re-
puted by local gossip in the county to be the
natural son of some member of the Keitt
family by slave mother" The facts about
the bigamy and the matter of identity
were not disputed, and the only questions
to be considered were the intent of the
publication and the actual injury sustained.
There was no evidence that the plaintiff had
suffered in social standing; in fact in his own
testimony he admitted that he had not.
Judge Shippen instructed the jury that while
newspaper was responsible for publishing
false statements even If done innocently,
they were responsible only to the extent of
the actual damage arising from such state
ments. unless express malice were proved.
The jury returned verdict for plaintiG for
six cents

OF the heroism, valor and sacrifices of war
shall be confined to those orators whose eulo-
glsms embrace only those soldiers who ad-
hered to the lost cause? Northern Democrats
cannot confess, by silence even. that they
crats cannot ote sue .sad
principles of constitutional government on
the part of the Northern Democracy, which
nas aided them in obtaining that greatest Of all
ooons, local self.government, and expect now
to be concliated with war claims and railway
subsidies, they had better be undeceived at
once. The Democracy lost a large mum Der of
Northern Congressional Districts at the last
election. 1t will not be difficult to lose enough
OF the rest the next time to dissiDate the pres-
ent majority, and leave the solid South con-
fronted by practically solid North. A little
undue exctability OF the part of Mr.. Ellis and
his colleagues will make this practical illustra-
ton of sectional politics exceedingly easy of
realization"

The Democrats have arrived at the conclu-
sion that by ignoring large part of the facts
and misrepresenting the remainder they can
make valuable campaign document out of
the Potter investigation. They propose to
say that in spite of the apparent contradic-
tions Of some of the witnesses THAT is in spite
of the testimony it has been established be-
yord question that the legal votes of Florida
and Louisiana were cast for Tilden, and that
corrupt intriguing on the part of Republicans
occurred while the Returning Board was de-
lberating, that electoral certificates were
forged aud that corrupt bargain was made
between Gov. Hayes and some of the South
ern Democrats. Of course the cipher tele-
grams are to be Ignored.

The terms of twenty-five United States
Senators expire on the fourth of March.
The successors of twenty-five of these have
been chosen. Kansas, Louisiana and New
Hampshire have yet to elect. Of the retiring
Senators seventeen are Republicans and eight
Democrats. They will be succeeded by
eleven Republicans and fourteen Democrats.
The Republicans lose Senators in the States
of Alabama, Arkansas, California, Florida,
Ohio, Oregon, and South Carolina, and gain
one in Connecticut. After the fourth of

says of the plan of issuing greenbacks In place

THE New York Erening Post thinks that
by common consent 1879 is regarded as q
year for business. "There is a revived sense
of the necessity of work. There is no longer
royal road to riches. Men feel that the
money which they are to get in the next
twelve months must be earned, and they are
turning their attention not to easy specula-
tion but to substantial business" 1t sees
signs of this in Congress and the New York
Legislature, and sit is long since so many
members have given SO prompt and so earnest
attention to matters of practical importance"

IT appears that great injustice has been
done to the Louisiana White League. The
