The Senatorial Ffght-The Battle Ra agine
 Hot-Au Parties Sure of Their Candi-
 date.
 ALBANY, Jan. 11.-Another candidate for United States Senator has appeared in the person of General Henry Edwin Tremaine. He is supported by members of the G. A. R., night, it is said he has already made consid- erable progress. It is now understood that General Grant will be in this city next week until after the Senatorial election. Governor Cornell says that no arrangements have been made for the reception of the General as it is not known when he will be here Messrs Platt, Crowley and Morton are all actively at work. Messengers are continually dispatched for their friends to meet them in their room. This is about all that ap- pears to the public. What they accomplish by this no one seems to know. To disin- terested outsider the whole thing presents the appearance of huge fair, and if it kept up whole week (which mnst elapse before the vote takes place) everybody except the hotel keepers will be thoroughly disgusted with it. It is amusing, too, to note the sayings of the ciquers of each candidate Each of them is sure his candidate Is ahead and long string of reasons are advanced to support the asser- tion. The Senate is still classified as follows: For the machine candidate 12; anti-machine, II. Two are counted doubtful The Assem- ply is all at sea. it being impossible to class ify the members. There was rumor to-day that MT. Morton would throw his influence in behalf of Crowley, but it was promptly and emphatically denied by Morton. Ex- Governor Robinson will probably be nomi- mated by the Democrats for Senator.

PENNSYLVANIA,

The Senatorial Fight i'm Full Blast.
 HARRISBURG, Jan. 11-Of the Senatorial candidates there are now here Oliver, Grow, Cessna, White and Hewitt. Grow is as confident as ever of his election and says it will not admit of doubt. Messrs Wolfe, Mapes and Emery, who have had charge of Grows canvass, have been lding a myster1- ous conference to-day, the result of which is not yet apparent. The fact that the Allegha- ny delegation is now solid is great point in his favor and his friends are making the most of it. They now claim 6S votes on the first ballot on Thursday night at the caucus, and sufficient to elect on the second ballot, to be followed by subsequent unanimous ratifica- tion. President pro tenn. Newell is working up the chances of A. Loudon Snowden It is claimed that Snowden has following of fifteen out of the Philadelphia delegation, and that if he stands any chance the deIega- ton will be solid for him. Legislators are arriving on every train and the contest is again assuming lively phase. Lieutenant Governor Stone says he will issue his warrant in time for successor to Senator E. B. Cox to be elected at the spring election. It was at first proposed to declare Senator Cox's seat vacant by resolution, but that was covered by the constitution, which says a refusal to take the oath of office vacates the seat.

l The Panama Canat-benouneed as a swindie By Minister Noyes-The App proprtatfon for Agricultural Purposes.
 WAsHfNefoN, JaR. ii.-A prominent American gentleman writing to friend in this city on the subject of the Panama canal syndicate says syndicate man bluntly told our minister to his face that the members of President Hayes Cabinet were in favor of their scheme, and that they had converted public opinion in the United States, cor in other words that he (our minister) did not know and could not speak for public opinion in our country. Nevertheless Mr. Moves announced the scheme as gross swindle which would be certain to bring disgrace upon the banks. The House Committee on Agriculture is consider ing the agricultural appropriation bill The appropriation for the present year was $344, 300. The estimates for the next fiscal year are $334, 720. Commissioner LeDuc wants $300,000 for his experiments in the manufac ture of sugar, and SIC, 900 additional for ex- periments in tea culture. MT. Covert, chair man of the committee, has proposed a bill cutting down the appropriation to lower figure than the appropriation for the present fiscal year.
 The first public reception of President Hayes of this. season took place tonight Notwithstanding a heavy snow storm prevailed the Executive Mansion was filled Many Senators and members were present. The mansion was brilliantly illuminated and decorated with flags and flowers. The Ma rine band was in attendance and discoursed sweet music

l ly winter influx of white labor from the North
 to aid in the sugar and rice harvest. This
 is the peace to the black and white man that the whites in the South, and the black man struggle to which he is utterly unequal. If the North must assume the task of e1evating
 the black man to equal power regardless of
 fitness, let it begin by giving him in Philadel-
 phia, Pennsylvania New York and other Republican States, the same industrial equaI- ty and political promotion that the less ed
 ucated blacks of the South now enjoy with the cordial sympathy of the southern whites.
 I see the same colorsd leader (ex-Senator Revels) who was excluded from the forum of the Academy of Music, when Republican United States senator, solely because of his race, now at the head of colored college that is sustained entirely by the Democratic State government of Mississippi and he holds his high commission from the same authority, while Republican Pennsylvania has no such temple of learning for the black man. AL though forbidden to speak in the Philadelphia academy, he can speak to intelligent and ap- preciative white audiences in the State that is plotted by the Kemper and the Yazoo tra- gedies. In all the reign of passion that has followed the war of races in the South, I can find no imitation of the exclusion of a Curtis from public hall by the Republican Mayor of Philadelphia These are unpleas- ant contrasts to present, but between the &C., cusers of the North and the accused of the South there must one day be truth, and I shall not hinder it's early coming.

He said that the Land League teachings had created such rowdyism throughout Ireland that every swashbuckler in the country thought himself entitled to violate the law The widespread prevalence of outrage and intimidation had proved the Land League system was like the foul octopus stretching out it's bronchia through the land and closing in its slimy suckers on the life, the energy and honesty of the people. The Mar quis of Harrington admitted the necessity of a just land bill, but he insisted on the abso- lute necessity to maintain law and order.

Fort Patchef- stroom was at the time closely besieged by the Boers, but held out bravely. Besides the garrison of the fort the ladies and children of the residents of the place were within the walls. There are provisions sufficient to last for month, and before that time the siege will be raised by the forces now oh their way to the Cape. The Boers made an attack on the fort, using as their artillery an old gun that had been discarded from ship. The comfited

It says: ''The contract between the two was made in this city, the legal papers 1 having been drawn by Austin Goodwin. The play had not been written, but Anna Dickin-
 son agreed to write it, and Fannie entered in- to an ironclad oath to perform it, paying the 1 authoress $1 ,O00 down and $35O a week roy
 atty, not even reserving to herself a loophole to get out of in case the play failed The correspondence between the two ladies is very gushing, each expressing the warmest admiration for the other. The trouble is at- tributed to a failure to realize.''
