1t isyet too soon to forecast with en-
tire certainty the political complexion
of the Senate after the Sd of March,
but there is every probability that the
republicans will have majority only
by the aid of the Virginia readjusters,
Messrs. Malone and Riddleberger.
We have already expressed the opiu-

better to leave the organization of the
Senate to the democrats than to pur
chase the cooperation of the Virginia
Senators BY such concessions as they
