The senate in 1885.

The Presidential contests so mOnOp0ilZes
the attention Of the country that the prob
able standing Of the next United States
Senate has not been discussed to any
great extent Of late. The terms Of four
teen Democrats and eleven Republicans
expire on the 9TH of March next. The
successors OF the retiring Democrats from
Ohio, Kentucky, Louisiana and Maryland
have already been elected, and ten still
remain to be chOseD-frOm Arkansas,
Alabama, California, Florida, Georgia,
Indiana. Mississippi, Missouri, North
Carolina. Oregon and South Carolina.
The Republican Senators whose terms
expire with the present Congress are
from Colorado, Connecticut, Illinois,
Iowa, Kansas, Nevada, New Hampshire,
New York, Pennsylvania, Vermont and
Wisconsin.
OF the Democratic States Oregon may
be counted as lost, and Indiana. perhaps,
is doubtful. OF the Republican States
Connecticut, Nevada and New York, and
perhaps Illinois, Iowa, New Hampshire
and Wisconsin may be put down as doubt
ful. To make tie in the next Senate the
| Democrats will have to carry all Inc
/ States in the Democratic list except
Oregon, and three of those in the ReDubli-
| can list. With Democratic Vice Presi-
/ dent this would give the Democrats con-
/ troll Of the Senate. With Republican
Vice President, however. the Democrats
/ will have to gain four Senators in order to

less they win signal victories in at least
/ four states now represented in that body
by Republicans, unless they carry the

aggressive campaign this can be done

pretty apt to go Democratic, and the

mPractica1,, Answered.

Editor Morning Nelcs: Allow me to say
a few words in rebuttal to the charge
made by sPracticaT" in his criticism of
the speech of Judge Adams at the CON-
meneement Of the Georgia Military
Academy, at the Theatre Friday night.
He claims that the honorable
Judge, in his tribute to the pro-
fession he ornaments and represents,
wrapped it in the mantle OF ldedtsm;
that he drew greatly upon his fine imagi-
nation to present to the audience he adj
dressed a type of the most perfect
legaI gentleman. These are not
exactly the words used by
"Practieal," but the meaning
is the same. The gentleman has forgot
ten the name and characters of the men Of
history-Curran, Chatham, Grattan,
Webster, Clay. Calhoun. Alexander H..
Stephens, ''Bob'' Toombs. and host Of
others-a host in which the individuals
mentioned are but as single stars in a
galaxy of glory; glory whose combined
light Is as distinct in the annals Of the
world as is the galaxy of the armament
distinct in its celestial situation.
As far as the choice Of professions is
concerned. it is to be sincerely hoped that
all of the Cadets will have the perspicacity
to abstain from a miScORStructlOn OF the
Judges speech. anu IStklLc tueNb the SSA-
ence of physic, war, astronomy, nayiga-
ton. mineralogy, geology, zoology, are
all useful fields to employ the mind and
heart for the elevation and benefit of hui
manity. Judge Adams did not mean TO
vaunt his profession before the eyes of his
audience and leave the inference that
there were no others to be termed semi
nently respectable to be deduced by
them.
We say this from cOBUictiOn, and from
no kn0teIedgs of the sentiments Of this
most gifted orator Of our city, aye, and
State. because we are personally unknown
to the Judge; nor are we lawyer. We
simply desire to see no misrepresentation
Of this speech, and to show that it was
within the bounds OF Truth.
As we said before, we do not know
Judge Adams personally, and would
hardly be able to point him out among
other gentlemen. We defend him as
stranger who is sufficiently well read to
know that some of the finest men-men-
tally and morally-that the world has
seen were lawyers. +.

The Future queen of spain.

Madrid Letter TO TIE american REGISTER.
The heir to the crown even assumes the
title of Prince of Asturias-thus we have
a sweet little girl, the Infanta Mercedes,
who is, up to the present, presumptiye
heiress, called the Princess Of Asturias.
The little lady is the very image
of her royal mother, Queen
Christina (Chrlsta, as, she likes
to sign herself, with true Austrian
GemuthIichkeit). She appears daily in
public, that is. she takes drive through
the streets of Madrid to the beautiful
Park of the Retro, the Spanish Bots de
BOulOgne, or on the Castellana, mag
nificent promenade. Whenever her out
rider appears, everybody stops to
get a glimpse OF the lovely, winsome
child, so pure and delicate in her
snowy robes. She is always dressed in
white, summer or winter; even the little
chair which is fixed upon the seat of her
carriage is covered with white satin up
holstery. Her equerry always rides along
side the door of her carriage, and her gov
erness, the Duchess of Medina de las Tor
res, occupies the seat at her left. Her
wet nurse was a Spanish woman from the
mountains of Asturias, but her nurse is
an English woman.

Cure of Asthma and Spinal weakness,


239 WEST TwENTY-sECoND STREET,
NEW YORK, May II, 1888.
Though it may be irregular for physi-
clan to give a certificate in favor of a pro-
prietary medicine, still, in the cause of
humanity, Venture to say a word in ia
vor of ALLGoCK's Porous PLAsTERs,
which / esteem the most remarkable ex-
ternal remedy Of this century.
l have known these Plasters to cure
Spinal Weakness where the patient had
been confined for months to his bed. A
blacksmith of my acquaintance was Sc
yerely injured in the back by thekick of
a horse; four AlIcock's Porous Plasters
quickly relieved HIM of excruciating ago
ny and cured him in a week. Another
patient, suffering with Neuralgia of the
Heart, was completely cured i'll four
hours.
In Asthma, l know of a case where they
were worn for three months and fully re-
stored to health. In another case where
a patient had Sporadic Cholera, nothing
relieved him until he put on three All
| cocks Porous Plasters; in twelve hours all
pains in his chest and stomach disappear
ed. | know that these Plasters, applied
on the pit of the stomach, are a sovereign
remedy for Dyspepsia and Constipation.
Finally, If persons once use AllcOck's
Porous Plasters they will never use any
other; they are so pleasant, quick and
painless-nature's balmy assistant.

There appears to be no immediate pros
pect Of the passage of a bill providing for
a count Of the electoral votes. Why Con-
gress does not take up this important
matter, and keep i; up until il is disposed
Of, il Is impossible to understand. A Pres
idential election is close at hand, and
while there is no reason to apprehend that
complications in the electoral count will
arise, there is a feeling Of apprehension
throughout the country because cOmpli-
cations are possible. For six years Con-
gress has been discussing methods for
avoiding dangers connected with the cleo
toral count, and the progress it has made
is hardly worth recording. Early in the
present session the Senate passed the Ed
munds bill. which provides that the State
tribunals shall settle electoral con-
tests, and that the certificate OF the State
tribunal. as 10 who the electors are shall
Dc conclusive evidence Of the lawfulness
OF the electors who hold il. II also pro
vides that the two houses, acting sepa-
rately. shall c0ncurrently count the votes.
Mr.. Eaton has offered an amendment to
this bill in the House, which provides that
all disputes relative TO the count must be
settled by the House and Senate in joint
convention. IL the House adopts this
amendment it is certain that the Senate
Will reject it, because it virtually
deprives the Senate Of any voice
in determining disputes. Mr.. Eaton
holds that the House ought to count the
! electoral vote. and his amendment aims
TO carry out his idea. The country doesn't
care so much about Mr.. Eaton's idea as
it does about getting this question, so fun
/ Of danger, settled. The outlook, how
ever. Is that Congress Will adjourn
without doing anything with regard
to It. The appropriation bills are
demanding consideration, and it looks
very much as if il would be impossible tc
hold Congress together after those bills
are out Of the way. If there should b
| trouble with the next electoral count, the
/ country viii know where to place the re
/ spOnsibility.
