The New senate.

In the next Senate, after the New
Hampshire Legislature shall have
elected successor to Mr.. Rollins IN
June, the Republicans will have a
majority of two, Malone and Kid
dleberger, the two Virginia repudl-
ators, will serve as assistant Repub-
licans. But this margin is too mar
row for any experiments ia leglsla-
ton. The recent votes on the
tariff demonstrate that the west
will insist on reduction and re-
forms. .gdL ,.ttan.
The war of factions has not
ceased, 1t is suspended temporarl-
ly because Congress has adjourned.
But there is no truce, and there IS
no probability of harmony being
restored. The half-breeds and stall
warts are waiting for a chance to
exhibit bitterness of hostility on
either side. The opportunity VIII
be found next winter, preceding the
national convention.
The Republicans in the Senate
have not been strengthened by the
recent accessions to that side. They,
have reelected four, viz: Anthony,
Hoar. FRYE and Plumb, of the elev-
en- seats that were vacated on the
4th of March. Bowen, who sue

Riddleberger has become known as
Mahone's lieutenant.
The Democrats reelected ten OF
their Senators whose term expired
on the 4th of March, viz: Morgan,
Garland, Salisbury, Beck, Lamar,
Mcpherson, Ransom, Butler, Harris,
and Coke. They are all trained
Legislators, and most of them are
able men. Gibson, who takes the
seat of kellogg from Louisiana, has
acquired an excellent standing in
the house for capacity and for char
acter. Kenna, who follows Davis
of West Virginia, possesses the ele-
ments for distinction, if they are
} wisely directed. CoIquitt, the sue
cessor of the late Ben Hill, is not in
the first rank, but he is a sound and
practical man, who will make few
} mistakes. Altogether, while the
Republicans have the advantage o.
!. numbers collectively, the Demo.
Gratis are much stronger intellectu'
ally than their opponents. Both
parties are deficient in a great lead
ership.

macshnn JeweTs PresentIment.

The Philadelphia Record says that
ON the day before his death, it is
said. the late Marshall Jewell aWoke
from a sound sleep, and at once asked
what was the matter at the nome OF
VIM. E. Dodge. A telegram had
lust been received by JeWeifs
family, announcing the death OF
Mr.. Dodge, but it was not Thought
best to let Mr.. Jewell know 1t, so ne
was told that all was we'll there.
He would not believe them. Some
thing had happened, he said; some
great affliction had Overtaken the
family. Insisting upon this, and
refusing to accept his famlly's
denial. he at length induced them
to telegraph 10 New York to see
what was the matter. But Mrs.
Jewell SO worded the telegram as to
instruct those who@received 1t to
answer that everything was all
right, When that answer came,
they told Mr.. Jewell, who refused to
believe it, and asked to see the
message itself. This request being
granted, and having the ocular
proof before his eyes, in the shape
Of an unmistakenable telegraph
message, he dubiously remarked
"Weli, it does seem to be so but il
is very strange; l know there il
something the matter, that some
thing serious has happened to Mr..
Dodge's house in New York" And
that impression he retained, until
soon afterward, he too, ended his
earthly life.

Free Trade IN Politics.
N v Sun.

.
1t is by no means improbable that
the next election of President may
turn upon the question of free trade
or protection. The Republicans
mean to have it so if they can AMI
there are plenty of Democrats who
wish to accommodate them. The
most dashing and aggressive Of
these is, perhaps the Hon. Henry
Watterson of Louisville, the Hot
spur of free trade politics, He
would rather be beaten on an UNI
qualified and extreme free trade
platform than carry the election.on
auy other. That lively Western
journal, the Kansas City Times,
likewise proclaims the same kind
of purpose. "This is the leading
question, paramount to all Others"
says the Times. u.E
There would be a good deal OF IN
terest in watching a Presldentlal
canvass turning exclusively or even
principally upon this one question
hut it would not be the interest
which attaches to an uncertain con-
test. From the very beginning, we
should all know that the decision
would be against our gallant ana
uncompromising free traders: put
nevertheless, their struggle would
possess the peculiar charm that al
WAYS belongs to the efforts of clever
and earnest men contending against
heavy odds and fighting a battle
that is sure to end in their defeat
IT would be very much like the can
vass of the old Liberty party in l8-
"A when they ran James q. Birney
of Michigan for President, and gave
him altogether $1,000 votes out OF
nearly two millions and three quar-
tiers that were cast for all the candl-
! dates. No doubt the free traders
would do good deal better than
this. but after the election they
would be left in such minority
that the most earnest among them
would not be in a hurry to Try the

Private Executions.

Now that the law abolishing pub
lie executions has passed, the Won
der is that it has not always been
the law to have these revolving
scenes in private. This bill is a
great step forward and one of the
best acts of the General Assembly.
To make spectacle of a hanging
before curious, gaping crowd is
barbarous and fosters a very de
praved and disgusting taste. Such
wholesome and progressive legisla-
ton is commendable and all good
citizens of the State will rejoice tG

JudJcious Advertising.

A man denouncing newspaper
advertising to a crowd of listeners:
LAS week" said he, 81 had an
umbrella stolen from the vestibule
of the-church. 1t was gift,
and, valuing it very highly, j spent
double its worth in advertising, but
| have not recovered it" How
did you word your advertisement,
asked a merchant "Here 1t is, !"
said the man, producing slip cut
from a newspaper. The merchant
took it, and read: "Lost from the
vestible of-chureh, last Sabbath
evening, a black silk umbrella.
The gentleman who took it will be
handsomely rewarded by leaving II
at. No. San Fernando street"
"Now," said the merchant. 81 am
a liberal advertiser, and always
found that it paid me well. A great
deal depends upon the manner in
which an advertisement is put. Let
us try for your umbrella again, and
if you do not acknowledge then
that advertising pays, / will pur-
chase you a new one" The mer-
chant then took q slip Of paper from
| his pocket and wrote: I'll the man
who was seen to take an umbrella
from the vestibule of-church,
last Sabbath evening does not wish
to get into trouble and have stain
cast upon the Christian character
which he values 80 highly, he will
return it to No., San Fernando
street. He is well known" This
duly appeared in the paper, and on
the following morning the man was
astonished when he opened the
front door of his residence. On the
porch lay at least a dozen umbrellas
of all shades and sizes that had
been thrown In from the sidewalk
while the front yard was literally
paved with umbrellas. Many o.
them had notes attached 10 then
saying that they had been taken by
mistake, and begging the loser e
