A special dispatch from Wash
ington says: “Thu Republicans
will be unable to secure a majority
vote upon any question in the .Sen
ate during the two years beginning
March 4, 1883, without the assist
ance of a Ueadjuster or some other
Senator outside of their party ranks,
and it is probable that two addi
tional votes will be needed. The
Senate is composed of seventy-six
members, who are now classified
politically as follows: Thirty-seven
Itepublieans, thirty-seven Demo
crats, one Ueadjuster and one In
dependent, who is tlie presiding of

the remaining vacancies will be
tilled arc sn constituted lliat of the
18 scats, 7 will surely be tilled by
Republicans and !) will surely be
filled by Democrat:, so that with
out taking into account either Col
orado or Nebraska, the Senate after
March 4. 1883, will ho composed of
30 Republicans, 30 Democrats and
two Readjustee. It is very prob
able, however, if not absolutely be
yond question, that Colorado will
elect a Republican. In the new
Nebraska Legislature the Republi
cans cn be outvoted by a combi
nation of Democrats and Anti-Mo
nopolists. If this combination
should elect an Independent and
Colorado a Republican there would
be 37 Republicans, 3(> Democrats,
two Rcadiusters undone Independ
ent. Under the mo9t favorable
circumstances, then, there will he
no more than 38 Republicans, which
is one less than a majority, while it
is possible that tliu number will not
exceed 30. It is expected that the
number will be used to secure a
majority vote.
It is probable that a special ses
sion of the Collate will lie called to
begin on March 4,1883, for the
purpose of choosing a presiding
olllcer. Mr. David Davis will pre
side until that tunc, mid tliu Re
publicans will undertake, it is
thought, to elect Senator Anthony
to succeed him. The senate com
mittees are now in the bands of the
Republicans, but the offices are held
by Democrats. Tins was the ap
pointment decided upon lie Sena
tor Davis. If Colorado should elect
a Republican, the Republicans and
tlie Readjustees would be able to
organize tho Senate ami elect its
olilcers. When a ticket for tlie
olliecs was prepared last year Sena
tor Maliono’s interest was repre
sented by Mr. Riddlcbcrger as can
didate for Sergeant-nt-Arins. This
gentleman will be a Senator on
Much 4, 1883. Wliiiu tlie coun
try will not expect to -see next
spring another severe strugglo like
that oi the special session of 1881,
tlie possibility of nnotlier contest
over tlie ofllccs will add interest to
tlie first session oftlic Senate, when
ever that session shall lie held.

The Decline in Cotton.
Savannah News. *
Since the opening of the busi
ness year, September 1st last, oot-
ton has declined over two cents a
pound, and all indications are that
it will fall to a still lower point.
Various reasons are attributed for
this. Though receipts are at pres
ent by no means excessive, and are
in fact rather light than otherwise,
still the One weather for tho matur
ing of the crop and the remarkably
fine picking season which has been
enjoyed in the South tend to create
the impression that tlie crop this
year will be a very large one—7,-
000,000 bales being a common fig
ure. This, added to an apprehen
sion of a possible financial strin
gency in the money centres ot the
country, causes buyers to move
slowly, and as the demand is light
prices naturally go down.
It is somewhat remarkable that
there should be such general an
ticipation of an unusually large
crop this season when it is remem
bered that last year the Southern
planter as a rule, devoted less acre
age to the cultivation of the great
staple and paid more attention to
the production of home supplies.
At the outset ot the business year
the impression prevailed that the
abandonment of the old ail cotton
policy would result in a reduction
of the crop to a point which would
at least enable the prices of last
year to be maintained. It Beetns
now, howover, that the day of small
cotton crops has passed. The South
is developing so rapidly, and lands
in tho cotton belt arc being opened
up annually to such an extent, that
no matter if every planter in this
entire section should cut down his
individual production, the grand
total will always be steadily great
er and greater each year.
The fact cannot be too strongly
impressed upon the planters of the
South. Had provisious not been
made for tlie home and farm this
year, and had the old polioy of de
pending upon receipts from the
sales ot cotton with which to pur
chase the necessaries of life in the
West, been continued, it ie easy to
sco in what straits our farmers
would have been to-day. Thero is
no telling to what proportion the
crop would have attained, and if,
with less attention than usual paid
to it, wo see prices approaching to
eight cents a pound, there is no
knowing how low they would have
fallen had the Soulh been taxed to
its utmost to turn out tho staple.
Certain it is that our farmers
would have met witii heavy losses
on their crops, nnd besides would
have been forced to go overwhelm
ingly in debt to supply their fami
lies with the bare necessaries of
life, Now, although the great sta
ple has deelincd on them, they cau
view the decline with complacency
from consciousness that, come what
will, the home and farm are pro
vided for, and there is no danger
of suffering from the curses of debt
and starvation.
Our planters should lenrn a last
ing and useful lesson from the
present condition of affairs. They
should recognize the fact that un
der ordinary circumstances there
will lie no more small crop years
in this jjountry, and they should
plant cotton with the expectation
of receiving, comparatively speak
ing, little for it. It they act on
this principle, the farm and home
