The political cyclone which swept over
Virginia on the I'd inst, expended its
force in North Carolina, where it resulted
in great danger to the Democratic house
hold. A Republican Legislature was
elected. several Congressman gained. and
the Republican candidates for the SUI
preme Court chosen. Desperate efforts
are being made to change the count so as
to change this result, but it is believed
they will be futile.
The healthy financial condition Of the
farmers of the Valley is demonstrated by
the numerous improvements being made.
New houses and new barns are being
erected, old ones repaired and renovated.

Tho Next Senate.


The Washington Star. of the 9th, has
the following speculation as to the politi-
cal compleXiGn OF the Senate in the 50th
Congress
1t begins to look as If the United states Sem
ate, after next March, will be evenly divided
of some doubt. On the Sd of next March the
terms of sixteen republicans and nine demo-
cratic Senators will expire The republicans

latnres OF Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts.

Z he present Senate stands Al Republicans 81
democrats and one readjuster (tsiddleberger)
But Senator Van Wyck comes back from Ne
brasl1a as a peoples representative. He made
his fight before the whole people and won on
an issue of opposition to corporations. During
his present term he has not hesitated on oeca-
sions to antagonize his party, and under the
conditions of his re election he may be more
independent Still. Leaving Van Wyck and
Riddleberger out of the count, the next Senate
will stand-proyided the democrats secure the
three doubtful states meptioned-37 Republic
cans, 81 democrats. THUS Messrs. Van Wycll
and Riddleberger would hold the balance of
power. In connection with this probable stu
alton It is a fact worth mentioning that both
Van Wyck and Riddleberger have given evil
dences of kindly feeling for the administra
ton. In the event of any conflict between the
Executive and the Senate, the two votes from
Nebraska and Virginia would determine the
issue. Van Wyck ard Riddleberger would
have it in their power. by cooperating with
the democrats. to organize the Senate or.
should Van Wyck, vote with the republicans
and Riddleberger with the democrats ON the
question of organization, there would be a tie,
and there is no Vice-President to throw the de-
Gliding vote.

Secretary Mcpherson, of the Republ-
can campaign committee, says that if the
republicans have majority on vote by
States in the House they will flibuster to
the end of both sessions before they will
allow the democrats to change the result
by a contested election case. The only
places where change of one vote would
affect anything, he says, are where the
votes are too decided to admit of a con
test.
This estimate gives Colorado and all the
doubtful districts to the democrats. Latest
advises make it almost certain that the
Representative from Colorado will be a
Republican.

The proposition made by the State S
creditors to settle is this
That the State shall give to the holders of her
consol and McCulloch bonds new DO nds for the
same amount of principal; that she shall give
to the holders of her overdue coupons bonds to
an amount equal to the face yafus of those
overdue coupons which coupons will then be
surrendered to her to be destroyed that the
revenue raised from the present rate of taxa
ton shall then be apportioned as follows;,
That the amount now apportioned by law
to the general expenses of Cover nment shall
be put to one side for that purpose. sst
That the amount now appoFtioned by law
to the public free schools shall be put to one
side for that purpose.
one side SUFFICIENT to pay interest upon all the
Riddleberger threes that are outstanding in
the hands of the public. including those yet to
be issued for peelefs, and all unfunded that
have not yet been surrendered.
That the balance shall be taken and an esti-
mate made fhow much interest per annum 1t
place of the consols, the McCullochs, and the
overdue coupons, and that those new bonds be
made to pay that rate of interest during the
time they are outstanding

In place OF McCullochS... ......... 7,400, 900
In place of overdue coupons (about).. 100000
These new bonds are to have no taX-receiva-
BILE coupons, and can run for forty years If de-
sired by the State, and are to be redeemable at
the pleasure of the State.
If the revenues of the State increas here
after the creditors are to have no benefit from
that increase, but the State alone is to receive
that.
AS the State issues the new bonds the credi-
tors will deposit their present bonds tina bear
tax-receivable coupons in some responsible
trust company-ike the Central Trust Com
pany OF New York. When a half years inter-
est on the new bonds becomes due the State
will pay that half years interest to that trust
company, which will then cut Off a half year of
coupons from the old bonds and surrender them
to the State.

indicated the near approach of cowled
