The Status of the Senate.

Baltimore Suns The status of
the United States Senate in the
Forty-seventh Congress which
meets on or after next 4th of
March, was practically determined
by the election of Hon. Howell Z.
jackson as Senator from Tennessee.
MIR. Jackson is q Democrat and a
member of the "debt paying" fac
ton of his party in that State.
There is only one more Senator
to be elected, from Pennsylvania,
where the contest between the Cam
eron faction and the Republican op-
position continues to be both warm
and uncertain. 1t is well understood
however, that Mr.. Wallace ssuccessor
will be Republican. Thus in the
next Senate there will be 81 Demo
Gratis and the same number OF Re-
publicans, with the addition Of
Judge Davis of Illinois. who, while
representing the third party, has
usually voted with the Democrats,
and Mr.. Malone of Virginia, "Read-
juster" Democrat, who is reported to
have declared it to be his principle
never to vote before going to the
polls. The Senate of the United
States has seldom, if ever, been
so equally divided on party is
sues, and never before has it had
to encounter the charming uncer
tainty of two odd members.
Philadelphia Press: The next
Senate will Embellishments, 81;
Republicans, 81, and Independents,
2-viz: Davis of Illinois and Ma
hone of Virginia. Though Judge
Davis usually votes with the Dem
ocrats on party questions. he does
not always; neither does he go into
Democratic caucus. The Demo
Gratis will require the votes of both
these Senators to give them the
control, whereas one will suffice
for the Republicans, making tie,
and giving Gen. Arthur the casting
vote. If Judge Davis maintains
his present position of IAN indepen-
dent member, with decided Demo
cratic leanings, as he doubtless
will, it is apparent that everything
depends on the course adopted by
Gen. Malone. Tie party that he
decides to cooperate with will
choose the officers of the Senate, APP
point a majority of the members of
each committee, and give color and
direction to the Senate legislation.

1t will be remembered that last
spring Tom Buford, quite q noted
character in Kentucky, coolly and
deliberately shot down Judge Eli
OFT, one of the judges of the Court
of Appeals Of that State, for rem
dering a decision in a civil suit adj
verse to Buford'a sister. 1t was a
cowardly and atrocious murder and
a thrill of Indignation ran through
the land when the crime was com
mitted. Buford was arrested, tried
and found guilty, but his lawyers
discovered a flaw in the proceed
ings and he was granted a new tri-
al. The latter has just taken place
and the jury, to their everlasting
shame be it said, allowed the muir
derer to GO free on the ground of
insanity. The whole trial was q
farce and the verdict was a disgrace
to Kentucky and will expose her
courts to the well-merited contempt
OF all honest men.

Mr.. Samuel Clack, of Marshall

now thought to be better. Mr..
William r. Ham is now thinking of
going to Prospect to live. Miss
Matte Rothrock, who is thoroughly
competent, will open a school at
Phelps Chapel next week.
DR.. D. c. Gordon was in the
neighborhood Thursday visiting
friends and relatives. His father,
Maj. John Gordon, who was one
of the first settlers of.Giles county
is hale and hearty and we hope he
may enjoy many happy days on
earth yet. Messrs. Tom 1McGrew
and L. j. Doss have taken the con-
tract to build the music room to
Brick Church Academy and will
commence work next week.
The citizens of Brick Church
have gotten up petition asking
for a daily mail from Pulaski to
this place. We hope every one will
sign ii as it will be great convsn-
fence to the Aeighborhood.
Our kissing Club has not been
organized yet, though the place for
meeting has been designated.
Nearly all of the negroes and a
great many of the whites have left

Arkansas and the whites to Texas
1t is difficult matter, therefore, to |

price for their labor. Wages will |
range from SIS TO $12. The land in
this par of Giles is rich and pro-
1uctive, yet not half of it is rented.
