PECULIAR crRcuMsrAHcHs AFFECTING THE
CHOICE OF sucoEssoB 10 MR.. CHANpLHn.
washington Jan. 6.--The probable composition Of
the Senate at the beginning of the List Congress has
been widely discussed during the past week. Tno
Senate at present consists OF thryninc Republicans
and thirty-seven Democrats of these the terms OF
twcnty-six viii expire March L. Messn. BECK,
Butler Chace, Morgan, walthal, Wilson, Colquits ana
Gibson have been reelected. Messrs. Palmer ana
Bowen viii be succeeded by James r. McMillen ana
E. 0. wclcctt respectively; Messr. Berry, Cullom,
Frye, X. Coke, Hoar, Henderson, and Pump
have been shcr renominated will have no serious
oppositicl John 8. Barbour, Democrat, has pcen
elected 10 succeed Riddleberger from Virginia. ana
Senator Saulsbury's from Delaware IS ex'
pectcd to be Republican. When the Senate ~
called to order March 1t will in all likeiihooo DO
composed of thirtyeght elected Republican Senator'S
thrty-sevcn elected Democratic Senators, and one
Republican Senator appointed by the Governor OF New
Hampshire to succeed Mr.. Chandler
Tho situation In Now Hampshire is unique, and has
previous occasions given rise to serious discussion
as to the power Of the Governor to appoint Senator
under the existing circumstances. The law OF con-
gress Of 1865 regulating the election VI senator's
stpuates that they shall DO chosen BY the Legislature
elected next preceding tho date Of the expiration OF
the term OF tho Senator whose successor Is to DO
elected. Tho Legislature is elected In November but
under the Constitution Of tho State docs not meet
until the following June, leaving period from March
until his year, June 10, during which the State can
be represented II at ALL only BY appointment Of the
Governor
On the question Of the admission Of the Ncw-Hsmp-
shire Senator therefore, the vote VII! doubtless be on
the lines Of political Republicans, 80; Demo
Gratis 81. This is exceedingly close vote, and tho
control Of the Senate would hav passed into the hands
of the Democrats had tho unexpected result In Della
ware been different for then the vote would have
stood Democrats, 80; Republicans, 81. Should the
Republicans In Delaware get INTO trouble over the
claims OF rival candidates and fail to elect successor
Senator salisbury, the Republicans will have con-
President Morton, and that control is liable to be lost
by tho accident Of death. This condition OF AFFAIRS,
however, uld las. only until June 10, when the
wIIan pshire Legislature will elect successor to
senator chandler and Republican supremacy be no
stored. This is probably the last time that such
contingency possibly arise for the New-Hampshfre
Constitutional Convention in session will. II Is
understood. change the time OF converting tho Lepg
lature from Juno TO January:
