The changes which will take place in the
Senate after March 1, 1883, will probably give
one or the other OF the two parties the con.
troll OF the body, which has been evenly di-
vided during the present Congress- Dem
ocrat, Mr.. ellison, will succeed Mr. Kellogg
from Louisiana on the other hand, Repub.
lican will succeed Mr.. Grover, Democrat,
from Oregon. Messrs. Wilson in Iowa and
Anthony in Rhode Island have been elected
to succeed Republicans in these states and
there is no doubt that Messrs. Hoar of this
state, Plumb Of Kansas, Ferry Of Michigan,
Window Of Minnesota aud Saunders of Ne
bTaska will be their own successors. II this
is not the case in each of the above states
whore the Legislatures elect next winter, it is
certain that Republicans will be elected
There is every reason to expect that Mr. Frye
will be his own successor in Maine, and that
Mr.. Teller will be succeeded by Republican
in Colorado. Thus far the changes leave the
political complexion of the next Senate the
same as now. In Kentucky Mr.. Beck has
been chosen his own successor. The same is
true Of Mr. Lamar OF Mississippi. Democrats
will succeed Democrats in Alabama, Arkansas,
Delaware, North Carolina, South Carolina
and Texas. If there should be fair election
in South Carolina, Mr. Butler would not be
returned. There is also 3 doubt if Mr.. Har-
ris of Tennessee will be his own successor, or
if tho Senator from that state will be a Dem
ocrat of his type. In the last Legislature the
Republicans had IS Of the 100 members, aud
with proper care could have elected Repub-
licsn. The present indications are such as
make the Republicans hopeful. Mr.. Davis of
West Virginia will doubtless be succeeded by
Democrat Mr. Riddleberger, Readjuster
or Administration, has been elected to sue
coed Mr.. johnson, Democrat, from Virginia.
He can be relied upon to vote with the Re-
publicans on many questions. The seats Of
Mr.. Mcpherson of New Jersey and Mr.. Davis
OF Illinois, Independents, should be filled
with Republicans. If the proper vigilance is
exercised they can be. The late Legislatures
of New Jersey have been Republican, except
the last, when there was tie II is believed
that unless Mr.. Mcpherson, who is rich and
strong with the railroad interests makes a
desperate effort and the Republicans make
some ine1cusablo blunder, the Republicans
can control the Legislature. The chances
are decidedly in favor Of fair Republican
majority. If the Republicans hold their own
in Maine and Colorado and elect in Illinois,
they will have four majority, counting Rid
dleberger. II Mr.. Mcpherson is succeeded
by Republican the majority will be increas-
ed TO six.

The hot weather of the past two weeks has
gone far to increase the prospect of the corn
crop, which in the large corn-producing
states is now fair. The good weather has Sc
cured to New England tho largest and finest
hay crop ever known. The indications at the
present time point to the largest yield of
wheat, oats and other small grains, hay and
root crops, ever recorded Missouri, Kansas,
Texas and Arkansas are blessed with I'M
precedented harvests In the latter state the
cotton crop is very fine, and her wheat yield
has been unusual Texas boasts that she
will have a surplus of breadstuffs TO feed
100, 600 immigrants. Kansas will have near
80, 600, 600 bushels of wheat and probably
100000 600 bushels of corn, with more oats,
rye, millet, sorghum and broom corn than
ever before in any one year since her settle
ment In Missouri, beside the heaviest crop
of wheat ever raised there is the finest pros
peot for corn, and the state will have apples
peaches and pears enough to supply the
whole West. The Minnesota wheat harvest
will begin in about week, and the crop hav-
ing had fine growth, yield of 10000, 900
very rapidly under the influence of good
weather. Crop reports from Dakota are very
favorable. From all parts of the country in
telligence comes that these assurances of I'M
precedentedly large crops have inspired the
people with hope, and have stimulated bust
ness enterprises all over the country. Mer-
chants at the point of distribution are max
ing arrangements for a full fall trade. The
grain movement in the Southwest has been
heavy during the past ten days. St. Louis
reports gain of 100000 and Chicago Of
2,4O9,O7s bushels, compared with cores
ponding period of last year. The export Of
wheat during the week which ended July %
was l, 1863, sG9 bushels against 500, S51 bush
els the corresponding week of last year. Al
these indications point to prosperous sea
son Of business, and there is general feel
ing of courage and confidence.
