THE U. S. SENATORSHIP.
The election of a Senator to bug
ceed Hon. John Sherman takes place
next Tuesday, under the following
lair, passed by Congress in 1868 :
That the Legislature of each State
which shall be chosen next preceding
the expiration of the time for which
any Senator was elected to represent
said State in Congress, shall, on the
second Tuesday after the meeting
and organization thereof, proceed to
elect a Senator in Congress in the
place of such Senator so going out of
office, in the following manner : cn
Do one shall openly, by a viva voce
vote of each member present, name
one person for Senator in Congress
from said State, and the name of the
person so Toted for who shall have a
majority oi the whole number of votes
cast in each House shall be entered on
. the journal of each House by the clerk
or secretary thereof; but if either
House shall fall to give such majority
to any person on said day, that fact
snail be entered on the lournaL
"At twelve o'clock meridian of the
day following that on which proceed
ings are required to take place as
aioresaid, tee members of the two
Houses shall convene in joint aseem
bly and the journal of each Honsa
shall then be read, and if the same
person shall have received a majority
of all the votes in each House, such
person shall be declared duly elected
Senator to represent said State in the
Congress of the United States ; but if
the same person shall not have receiv
ed a majority of all the votes in each
House, or if either House shall have
failed to take proceedings as required
by this act, the joint assembly shall
then proceed to choose, by aiva
voce vote of each member present, a
person xor tne purpose aforesaid, and
the person having a majority of all the
votes of the said joint assembly, a ma
jority of all the members of each House
being present and voting, shall be de
clared duly elected; and in case no
person shall receive such majority, on
the first daj, the joint aWmlyrf" j 11
meet at twelve o'clock meridian; of
each succeeding day during the ses
sion of the legislature, and take at
least one vote until a Senator shall be
elected." - ' -
By a careful examination of the
above, we have come to the conclu
sion that it is not necessary or the
Republicans to go into caucus to Be
lect a candidate. They sreasters
of the situation, and can elect a
sound Republican to that office. They
can go into an election and carry out
the exact wishes of their constrtal2ODfi
on the first ballot, which w
will do.Should

For this reason we can see' no good
to come of a caucus, and especially do
ma dpnreraiia a secret caucus, which

S. COX'S "SUNSET."

Columbus Journal republislies from
tho Ohio Stafetman, ot May 19, 1853,
the brilliant piece of descriptive wri
ting which w on for Mr. Cox tbe im
mortal name of "bunset :
A GREAT OLD SUNSET.
What a storraful sunset was that of
last night ! How glorious the storm,
and Low splendid the setting of the
sun: We do not remember ever to
have seen the like on our round globe.
The ( ce-ne opened in the West, with a
wh .le horizon lull ot a golden inter
penetrating lustre which colored the
foliage and brightened every object
into its own rich dyes. The colors
grew deeper and richer, until the
L'oidt-n lu ter was tianstused in o a
storm cloud, full of finest lightning,
which leaped in dazzling sigzags all
around and over ibe city. The wind
arose with fury, the slender shrubs
and giant trets made obeisance to its
majesty. Some even snapped before
its fcrce. The strawberry beds and
grata plats turned up their w hites"
to see Zephyrus march by. As the
raiu came, and the pools formed, and
the gutters hurried away, thunder
roared grandly, and the fire bells
caught the excitement and rung with
heaity chorus. The South and East
received the copious showers, and the
West all at once brightened up, in a
polished belt of azure, worthy of a
Sicilian sky.
Presently a e-Ioud appeared in the
azure belt, in tne form ot a castellated
city. It became more vivid, revealing
strange forms of peerless fanes and al
abaster temples, and glories rare and
grand in this mundane sphere. It re
uiiii Is us of Wordsworth's splendid
verse in his Excursion :
"Tba appearance Infctantnneonsly disclosed
Wan or a lu'gbly clly. boldly say
A wilderness il buildings, kinking far
And self withdrawn Inio a wondrous dcpUi,
Far s ilking into splendor without end I
But the city vanished only to give
place to another isle, where tbe most
beautiful forms of foliage appeared,
imaging a Paradise in the distant and
purified air.
The sun, wearied of the elemental
commotion, sank behind the green
plains of the West. The "great eye
iu heaven" however, went not down,
without a dark brow hanging over its
departing light. The rich flush of
unearthly light had passed and the
raiu had. ceased; when the solemn
church bells pealed, the laughter ot
children out and joyous after the
storm is heard with the carol of birds,
while the toraed and purple weapon
of the skies still darted ill.imination
around the Starling College, trying to
rival lis angles ana leap in;o lis uarn
windows.
uanaies are lighted, ibe piano
strikes up. We feel it is good to hsve
home: good to be on the earth
where such revelations of beauty and
power may be made. And as we can
not refrain from reminding cur read
era ot everything wonderful in our
city, we have begun and ended onr
feeble etching ot a suBset which comes
rarely that its glory should be com
muted to immortal type.

for the current year, are as follows :
Estimated receipts from all sources,
including balances, 5,20G,3G0 27.
Estimated disbursements for all
purposes, 1)4,776,035 73.
Leaving an estimated balance in
the Treasury, Nov. 15 bk 1872, of
1430.330 54
The public funded debt of the State
Nov. 15th, 1870, after deducting the
amount invented in Ohio stock?, was
$9,730,144 36.
During tho psst year tbe debt has
been reduced t726,515,
Leaving the total debt yet tone
provided for, 89,000,729 36 Of this

It will be noticed with gratification
that 'the annual increase of taxation,
to which the people have long been
accustomed, bas been cnecaed. and
that the taxes, both State and local,
have been somewhat reduced.
The increase of local indebtedness
sun continues iue returns maae to

but enoutth is shown to warrant the I
opinion that during the past year the
indebtedness of the towns and cities
of the State has increased not less
than one'raillion of dollars, and their
aggregate indebtedness now equals
tbe indebtedness of tbe State, I re
spectfully repeat, as the remedy for
this evil, the recommendation bere-
