The terms of Tweuiy-tlx Senator* ex
pire with Grant’s administration, and of
these seventeen are Kepuliean* and nine
are Democ rats. Of the seventeen Hiatus
now rcoreaet.ted by Republicans, the New

elect Republican Beuatoi*. viz: lowa,
Kansas, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan,
Minnesota, Nebraska, New Hampshire’
Rhode Island, South Caioliua and Wiscon
sin, while the six other* are reasonably
certain to elect Democrat#, yrz : Ajkaasa*,
Illinois, Louisiana, Mississippi, Texas and
New Jersey. The nine (states in which
the terms of Democratic Benator* expire in
March next are equally certain to return
Democrats. By this calculation the Re
publicans would have Ibirlv-eigbt Senators
and the Democrat* thirty-six, so that a loss
or one by the Republicans would produce
a lie, and if the Democrat* should elect a
Senator in Wisconsin and South Carolina
they would have a majority. In any event

That’s what Iw as coming at i went
into the house and got my double-barreled

It asttmisiied me at fir st ; hut as soon as
the ducks rose a few hundred yards in tba

ducks began to drop, and, whether you he
dice il or not, 1 picked tip tw truly- nine

A mew lislcrpictullon to (lout*

The recent violent speech ol Hcnator
Bo Jtwell against the H iiilh amd Koulhern
men is now understod to have ha-1 a deep
er meaning than was at first attached to it.
Mr. Boutwell said: The North will do
well to take heed that It trust no man
who was brought up under the Influence
of slaveiy, controlled by the influence of
of s'avery, controlled by its spirits and
dominated by its power, which is not yot
extinct. Bscrctary Bristow is ills only
Kouthern man who ha* been sjrohen of for
President as the candidate of either party,
and thin expression of Mr. Boutwell I* now
understood to have been leveled at him,
and to be a distinct notica that the North
wid never consent to the elevation of a
Bout hern man to the Presidency. I this
defiant notice Mr. Boutwell has, it is al
leged. laid down the ultimatum of the Re
publican party ol the Noitb, and since he
made his qieecb mtny Northern member*
vl both Houses who have never Indulged
in the vielent public utterance* which
come frombiin have asserted without hesi
tation that in this respect he ccbooa the un
doubted opinion of the mase of the jieople
of the Nertb.
