NOTICE OF CONTEST.

Major B. II. Lanier, the defeated Re-
publican candidate for Congress in this
has given Gen. King, his sue
cessful opponent, notice of intention to
contest the latter's election. The no.
tice" might we'll be styled, so volumi-
nous is it, Lanier's Ruthless Assault |
upon Type, and as to merits, it might
appropriately 60 under the title, La
nier's Reckless Attack on Truth.
The author bestrides the whole dis
trict with but little apparent effort,
though he is said to be small man,
and in his bill of charges includes each
and every one of the fifteen parishes
composing the district. False registra-
ton, false returns, and fraud, violence
and intimidation, the old, old accusa-
ton of hungry Radical office-seekers,
cover in general way the contestants
grounds of contest. Specifications are
furnished for each particular parish
under some one, or all of these general
charges.
We were not at all unprepared for
the appearance of this notice. There
was no earthly chance for Lanier's
election when he first thought enough
of himself-as but few did, even of his
party-to become candidate for Con.
gress. 1t was foolish undertaking,
such as did not excite either pity on
account of its foolhardiness, or derlsion
on account of absurdity. The contest
might be clsssed even lower in nonen-
tiles, but for the fact that the candidacy
of Lasier was only the mask hiding
the contest. He ran only to make a
contest-in the event the Republicans
carried the next House, as they did
The notice of contest might just as well
have been written, therefore, before the
election as since. The gift of prophecy
was not at all necessary, and in this
style of composition, and conspicuously
so with our author, facts are not
wanted.
The contest, we presume, will go on,
and pretty much after the old fashion.
Gen. King will be seated prin1ce fa1cie,
the contestant will push his little claim,
and probably with other contestants
from this State, will ask for an investi-
eating committee TO take testimony
which will be taken, &C., &C., and
about June, 1884, reports will be sub
mitted, and Gen. King will be con
firmed in his seat. Lanier may. O,
may not get what he must have rur
for, to-wit: two or three thousand dol
lars pay as contestant. Failing il
this, some questionable glory and tn,
devious bye-paths Of peripateti
ofiice-hunter will still remain,-happy
thought!

seen that the Republicans gain four
senators, and that the senate, after the
4th of March, will be composed of
thirty-nine Democrats and thirty-seven
1t is not absolutely GER
tain, however, that the Democrats
will have majority. There are grave
doubts about:the political course of Will
liam Malone, of Virginia. Lately he
has given expression in opinions that
lead the Republicans to hope that he
will act with them. In that case the
senate would be equally divided, and
the Republicans would have the adj
vantage because the vice president
elect, who is a Republican, has the
casting vote in all cases of tie. The
Republicans have one other chance of
getting control of the senate. Owing
to the discussions between the two
wings of the Democratic party of Ten
nessee, the election of Republican
senator in thatState is possible. Post
master General Maynard is the Re.
publican candidate, and has it is said,
fair prospect of success. If he is
elected, and Gen. Malone deserts his
party, the Republicans will have 9
majority of two. 1t is impossible tc
| say, however. how the senate will be
divided until after the senatorial cleo
tion in Tennessee, and until Gen. Ma
hone indicates what his political course
will be.-N. o. Times.

POLITICAL COMPLEXION OF THE
SENATE.

The political complexion of the 47th
congress is q matter of deep interest.
1t is we'll known that the house will
be Republican. 1t is uncertain, how
ever, which party will control the sem
ate. That body is now composed of
forty three Democrats and thirty three
Republicans. The terms of fourteen
Democrats and eleven Republicans
expire on the 4th of March. There
are, therefore, fifty-one holding over
senator's. OF these Twenty-Five are
Democrats and twenty-five Bepubli-
cans. The following States have al
ready elected, or will elect within a
very few days, senators to take the
pleaces of the outgoing members. The
names of present incumbents are given
and, also, the names of their successors
as they have been elected. The Re-
publicans are in Roman and the Dem
ocratS in italics:
