[ In return I AVashinoto*, December 4.—Tho omens of Republican Senators met promptly at IS o’cIock, Senator Sherman in the chair, and proceeded at onco to consider the question of the election of a President pro tempore of the Senate, made nooeseary by the death of the Vice-President of the United States. Senator Edmunds stated that when in the summer of 1881 the Republicans of the na tion in their convention nominated Oeneral T OR an for Vice-President, he (Edmunds) ln’d thought it right toward General Logan and toward the party that ho should retire from tho presidency of the Senate, and that General Logan should be chosen in his place, and as they all remembered ho had communicated that o tl i u i 0 n and desire to Republican Senators in a formal way, but it was thought at that time best that a change bo not made, espe cially oa Gen - Lo " ftn did not wisb il t0 be made At tholnstpresidentalelection.Gen. Logan had, he believed, tho votce of all Republican* who had an opportunity to otc and came very near being the choice of the people for the office of Vice-President, which would have mado him ex-officio Presi- lentof the Senate, and under the law charged "> th tho duty ot . carrying on the government in case of any disability of the President of the United States until an election could be had. In this state of things, he thought it right the Republican Senators should re- "” w that expression of confidence in Gen. Tjocma by nominating him for President of the Sentoe, and he accordingly moved that Gen Logan be so nominated by acclama tion! Severs! Senators spoke briefly in favor of tbe nomination, and the question was taken and agreed to unanimously. The chairman announced tbe unanimons nomination of John A. Logan as the Re publican candidate for President pro tem Ltre of tbe Senate. Gen. Logan arose and *aid: Mr. Chairman: From the (epths of mjr heart Tuesday and its reference to the committee . , . . ,j. _ . - of tlio whole tbe expected controversy over paramount duty of a prodding officer.

The Spectator ndvocit. - such on organi zation, which it says would fr • the Con servative party from the preeetus of tho Parnellito demands and give the Idbcaols their proper influence iu the mamig- iuent of British affairs. The fact that tin-Spec tator is frequently inspired by Gladstone, and that in this instance itim.i.N us a con dition of the proposed allianeo that Lord Salisbury shall first lftoc!. the l’ar- nellitcs with a positive and direct refusal of conlilion, would indicate that tho primary aim of Gladstone nnd the Tory premier just now is to found in British polities un element which shall always be ablo to placo imperial allairs be yond tho dictation of Irish politicians. Both may calculate that such an alliance as is proposed between them will liave tho ultimnto effect of render ing impossible tho effectiveness of such a disturbing and tremendous or ganization os Parnell hois succeeded in cre ating nnd operating. Iu tho Cons rvutivo party. Lord Ran dolph Churchill leads tlie element which favors meeting Parnell's demands for a broad measure of local self-government for Ireland in return for tho sup port of the Nationalists on Tory meaures concerning local a ion in England, law reforms aud for eign policy. The lnorepowerfnl among tho Conservative politicians on the other hand, and the most inllaentiai element in tho Conservative party are strongly opposed to forming any coalition with ParnelL They prefer arranging with Gladstone for united opposition to tho league's demands. They evuundrocuto thnt no matter how the eleetion may result, Salisbury shall remain in office, open Parliament and challenge a vote of confidence. It is reporiesl that the Premier himself favors this latter lino of conduct. He has been warned liy his most valued supporters that any attempt on his part to nrr.mge a compart with Purnell will lead to the immediutj secession from his (Salisbury's) party of a largo body of Tories who will go to Gladstone’s opposition. From idl this it is easy to see the course of English opinim. to-night is to the effect thnt whatever political denis may he mado in ths immediate future, tlie new British Parliament will hardly last twelve mouths. Its dtaiolution is considered probable evon during tho present session. A majority of the interests of Great Britain are in tho hands of the Con servatives nnd a majority of Britb li busi nessmen distrust Gladstone,, because they regard his foreign policy a* too philan thropic and not sufficiently hard-headed. An umlonbted increase of activity in Eng lish tr.vlo followed the restoration of tho Tories to power. This a itivity increased with the Tory prospects and is now declining with them. At pres ent tho Conservatives havo becumo fearful of Gladstone’s return to power, and in i- mato that it will bo followed by politiciu chaos. This fear is beginning to paralyzo business, particularly on the Stock Ex change. At tho opening of tho campaign, when the Conservative rauue ~ looked so hopeful, British consols and all foreign securities fairly boomed, the poople hi gun to invest monoy on an immense scale, aud the specu lative activity was beyond anjr thing before tion for the appointment of a oommitte of | oM^hat I ^“^romVhoi wo^ls"K“.wloy‘tnrnYI u^n caught in the track of tho flumet with no bis heel nnd walked nway, saying to Lnn- means of escape The ranches of Hill AI rains aa he did so, “TU follow you home tty of ».

While Gladstone has, therefore, 70 ma jority over the Tories, they and the Horn.- Rolen tie Mm. Never before to English history wai the political situation jtiat like this. There are clearly four distinct and distinctive parties. Tbe Radical* and Liberals are nominally united, anil so ore tbe Tories and Hume Rulers. Tlie latter alliance is unnatural and unreliable, while the former, allhounb unreliable, ia natnral. The Radicals claim the credit of the Liberal aucceea among the new voters, and the Liberals claim it among the old. The Conservatives are to a hopeless minority without tha solid Par- nell tote, and would bo.hftlplea* with it against s Radical ainl Liberal vote com blued. On tbe other hand tho PumelliL. could always depend on a large Radical vote on any fair Parliamentary measure iu the interest of Ireland. F'rou thia it is plain that If the Toric.. should retain power they could never be certain ot their ability to paa* any measure, even with the Irish vote, and could never lie sure of commanding that. Such a gov- i-nnent would only be impotent and ridicu lous. If tho Liberal* should assume power, they could never count on tho whole Rad ical vote, sml consequently would be with out ability to command a majority for any o( their government measures. Tho Radicals might affiliate with the l’arnellitee. but if they should rto »o tbe Liberals and Conierv- recorded to English history. Since the Iu- rul vote has diminished the Tory pr- specie, the English market has become tev, ri»li and unsettled, and operators havo become distrustful. It is announced to night that if Parnell hi:.41 find himself unuble to attend the coming Chi- igo convention, he will send u deputa tion to represent hitu, consisting probably of Healy, Sexton and Thos.

London, December 8.—The lateet returns show that 313 Liberals, 243 Tories and 70 Puroelliti i lmvo been elected. The con stituencies yet ubpollcd number 4-7.

A careful estimate of the probable results in t!e> unpolled dis trict* by tlm FR'-'* Association allows that the House of Commons will almost certain ly bo composed of 331 Liberals, 275 Tories and 84 Parnellites.

The situation is one of unparalleled perplexity. It shows that the people of Great Britan are clearly divided into four parties, no two of which is analogous. It makes the prospective British government depend on party deals. It dctuoiurtratca that there ia at present no uiaiority in Great Britain for any defined policy. Neither tho Liberal nor Tory party con, it would appear, take the government without a compact to ally itself with the other on all KnglUh mcae- ure* against ono branch of iu own organi zation, the Liberal party to act with the Tories against the Radicals and the Con servative party to act wito the Liberals against the Irish. A week ago tlio Conservative* were so certain of retaining power thnt a cabinet council w as called to meet next Monday to arrange a government programme. To day the situation is so changed that the council has la-eu postponed for a week, to order to sec the final outcome of the elec tions, before taking any action looking toward either the retention or surrender of power. It ie plain Lord Sxltabnrv is now disincline 1 to remain in office without the necessary support to c irry on the government.
