The United State Senate.
Ne,v Orleans Ptcaylsne.


Only one Senator remains 10 be chosen
to complete the Senate of the United
States as it will stand after March f. The
Democrats number 81, and the Republi-
cans SO. When the Pennsylvania va
cancy is filed, which will probably be
by Republican, there will be tie
Mes srs. Davis, of Illinois, and Malone,
of Virginia, may be also classed as De-
mccrats. Ii Republican gets the seat
from Pennsylvania, these two men hold
the balance of power. On party issues
either of them could, in case the other
went with the Democrats, throw the de-
cision in the hands of the Vice President,
who is the President of the Senate. If
a Democrat should be sent to represent
Pennsylvania, the party would have
thirty-eight votes, and both Davis and
Malone would have to vote with the
Republicans to make tie. William p.
Kellogg is the last of the Southern Re-
publican Senators, and his term expires
in 1883.
The present condition OF the two
houses illustrates clearly the wisdom of
the combination of the two systems of
representation and its efficacy in check
Ing the TOO raplQ cnange OF leglSlatl0n ana
policy While the Democracy have lost
control of the House within the past four
years, the popular wave which elected
Tilden has not yet lost its influence in the
Senate. There are sixteen solid Demo-
cratic States that are not likely to change
soon, which cast 80 votes in the upper
house, or within Z of majority. With
the aid of California, Oregon and Neva-
da, these States can certainly defeat any
legislation. While New York has been
heretofore counted Democratic State
in the Presidential contests, the party
has not controlled the Legislature of late
years sufficiently to send single Sena-
tor to Washington. There are two seats
to be filed in 1883 that will probably re-
suit in the retirement of Democrats, but
one seat from Louisiana to become va
cant then will certainly be filled by a
Democrat,

Good Times for Brokers.

When the great panic of '73 laid every
thing fat in Wall street, it was thought
that the backbone of speculation was
permanently broken. But that was a
great mistake. There is probably twice
as much stock speculation now as there
was ten years ago. The membership in
the Stock Exchange, says correspond
ent, is much larger than it was then, aud
the value of seats has gone up three-fold.
AS matter of fact there are no fseats'
in the Exchange, but a membership is
called scat, and everybody knows that
the possession Of a ''seat" means
simply the right to enter the Ex-
change at any time and become one of
the prancing, bowling mob of buyers
and sellers. Ten years ago the price Of
this privilege was about $4,000. After
the panic it fell to So 000 During the
last two years it has advanced to $40, 900,
then to $15, 900, and finally to $4,000.
1t was stated the other day that seat
had been sold for $25, ,00O AS the whole
membership is about 1900, it follows
that the seats alone are worth $26, 900,
600, taking $40, 900 as an average. When
a broker fails, his seat is part of his
assets, and his creditors can sell it as
they would any other property Stock
brokers do not patronize the life insur-
ance companies. The reason of this is
that they have an insurance system of
their own. 1t is a condition of membership
that when member dies the others shall
pay an assessment making up an
aggregate of $4,000. This goes to his
heirs. The payment is always prompt,
and under no circumstances is there an
attempt to evade it, as is very often the
case with life insurance companies. So,
when brother dies, whether re had
made any money or not, his family gets
$40, 1000 any way. Membership in the
Exchange is personal property. 1t be-
longs only to the member himself. The
firm in which he is partner has no
claim to it. There are many well
known brokers who do not belong to
the Exchange, but who transact all their
business of buying and selling through
partners who are members
