 The general interest perhaps is felt in the contest in Pennsylvania. It not saying too much to assert that if the election this could be decided by the votes of of the United States Mr. Quay would be sure of return. Senators do not pay much attention to bygones when a becomes member of that body. The members then all for one and one for all NI quay the both sides of the chamber genial of partisan, who makes party fights on the floor and friendly arrangements Tn the cloak rooms so that while the party foe of half the chamber he has pretty nearly eighty friends on both sides.
 Senators may have uncompmentary estimates of the morality of Mr. Quay but senator has made ven utter them i'll the senate, Ven Hypothetical case Any opponent of MT. Quay who might be chosen would surely be accommodating and reciprocal as
 MT Quay, if he had been accused of improper shaking of plum trees
 The renewal of the menace the election of Addicks in Delaware is considered by senators much more seriously than other contest It perfectly plain that Addcks is not wanted by those members who wink at elec
