A Fair Proposition,

The Post its readers that the New
York Senators shall not vote upon the
organization of the Senate. This we had
heard of before. But the Post has other,
and most important and very exclusive,
information. it's this:
Senator Davis, of Illinois will act Just as he did
at the last session. Senators Slater, of Oregon, ana
Hill, of Georgia, are expected to be present; but il
mol, lead'ng Republicans assure Democrats that they
will be paired
SO it seems that if Slater cannot over
come distance and Hill, of Georgia, can
not leave his bed the Democrats will
modestly ask for loan of couple of
Republican. Senators to enable them to
keep'out three Republican Senators until
after organization. As to Senator Davis,
of Illinois, if he shall "act just as he did
at the last session." he will tell the
Democrats as he did then, that while
he had no disposition to aid in ere
ating vacancies, he thought that when
vacancies existed it was proper that
they should he filled by men in harmony
with the Administration. Should he
continue of this mind it would indeed
become very necessary to secure pairs for
Messrs. Slater and Hill if they should be
absent. The Democrats would in such u
case be reduced to thrty-fivc votes, while
the Republicans would have thirty-siX,
without counting the two from New
York and the one from Rhode Island,
whose immediate admission would there
by be assured
1t would be no more than fair under
such circumstances for Messrs. Lapham
and Miller to pair off with the two alb
sentees as soon rs they and the new
Rhode Island Senator shall be sworn in.

DIR. Bliss seems to labor under the i'm
preston that he was not correctly reported by II
representative Of The REPUBLICAN in the Monday
mornings issue. The Doctor says: "1 desire to
say that 1t expresses sentiments clothed IN lam
guage which, II my own, should consider to be
unbccomng myself and the profession of which
am u member" The remainder of the Doctors
communication seems TO be an attempt to tell how
hc feels, or something of that sort, but the son.
teuCes are too incOherent ana cranky to make in-
telligcnt reading. The complaint Of DR.. Bliss Is
not that the body of the interview Is incorrectly
reported but that 1t expresses sentiments clothed
In Language" which the Doctor regards as unbc-
coming in him. 1t wns because the Doctor in cx.
pressing those sentiments" used words shocking
TO polite that the reporter of THg REPUBLICAN,
took the liberty Of " clothing" the sentiments in
decent attire This was done out of kind con.
sderaton for the Doctor. If Dr. Bliss insists upon
report Of the exact language he applied, rcrLainl
dNtcrdiin, relative to Baxter and Wales, the thing
can be accomplished.
