though it must be acknowledged that the
discipline in that party is better than
that of their opponents.

Pioneer Press, 10: The full roster of
the senate, emitting one senator from
Oregon, shows forty three republicans,
thirty-four democrats, seven silverites
ard four populists. To fill the Oregon
vacancy the governor of that state has
appointed w. H.. Corbett, a republican.
If he should be admitted, or, failing in
this, if the legislature should be recon
vened and elect, as it surely would if it
elected anybody, a republican, this
would give the republicans forty-four
votes. With this vacancy untitled, forty
five votes is a majority of the senate.
When filled forty-s,x votes will be a
majority. So that at the most, during
the present session, the republicans will
be two short of a majority. But on a
moderate sound money measure, if they
were able to unite, they would probably
command the votes of senator Catfrey of
Louisiana aud Senator Gray of Della
ware, at least, which would give them the
majority required.

a great deal depends upon care and intelligence;
