The Next Be^aw:.?The UfiUed
States SenatQ which meets March 6th
1875, will be quite a different body frqip
that adjourning March 4th, 1875. In
the present Senate there are 19 Democats,
4 Liberal Republicans and 50 Radicals
a Radical two thirds overall, the new
Senate will have 26 Democrats, 8 Republicans
of a very moderate stripe,
elected by Democrat support and moreor
less pledged to the Democratic doctrine
of Federal non-interference; and 36
Radicals. In (he next Senate, in this
there will be one vacant chair, that for
which Grant has been persecuting Louisana
;so long in the interests of his
brotheu-in-law Casey. In the new Senate,
Democratic Senators appear in the
place of Republicans from Conneticut,
Florida, Indiana, Missouri; New York,
Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Texas, and
West Virginia. Chandler, of Michigan ;
Stewart, of Nevada; Browulow, of Ten
ucgscr; | r idiiaguu, vt x vauo , v??.M..T
of West Virginia; and Carpeiter, of
Wisconsin?nll bosora friends of Grant
and deadly enemies of the peace of the
whole country and the happiness of the
South, are among the more prominent
Republicans who appear, no more.
Nemesis has appeared uuto each of them,
et abiit,evatrit erupit, six several warnings
to their chief.
The campaign in TjftwHampshire has
about a fortnight to run. It has been
dull thu9 far, but the organs are beginning
now to use large type and appear
to the.business and bosom of the votert
The Republican organ at Concord says
it "cau reply to the question, 'Watchman,
what of the night ?' by tho assurance
that all promises well." Which
is uncommonly well said. It says farther
that "the lukewarm and indifferent"
are "enlistiug again under the
glorious Republican banner," because
they are "fully conscious of the great
necessity there, is for staying and turning
baclc the turgid stream of reaction
which threatens to engulf the country
and to obliterate ail the fruits of the
mighty struggle aeainst the hosts of
succession."* Nothing could be more
gratifying than the inteligence, "The
turgid stream or reaction" ought to be
I turned back before it "engulfs the connI
try," and every sincere and thoughtful
fiatriot will be glad to hear that it is gong
to be done.
Before he left for Washington, Senator
Johnson said to the "commissioner" of
the St. Louis Republican, concerning
his deposit with Jay Cook & Co.: "I
had seventy-one thousand dollar.*' the
accumulations of ray lifetime, in Henry
D. Cook's bank in Washington, and the
receiver has thus far been able to pay
depositers fifty cents on the dollar. My
main object in going to Washington at
this time is to stir those fellows up and
see if the victims of Jay Cook <fc Co.
cannot get a little more than half of
what belongs to them. I shall try to
make it lively for that concern in 'one

before long than is uow known.
While Massachusetts casts one hundred
votes to every one. hundred
and sixly-two males over twenty
oue years old, Louisiana casts one hundred
to every one hundred end twenty
one. This, too, in spite of wholesale
'intimidation.,' As the election officers
were ail Republican, we can guess which
party benefits by the repeating that
these figures indicate. It is not near so
easy to identify a black repeater as a
white one.

Mr. Morton sticks closer than a brother
to Mr. PInohback,and is notyetwlthr
out hope of securing him a seat in the
Senate. The feet that the Civil Bights
bill is likely to be antagonized by the
Pinchback resolution adds to the com
plicationsoftheaituation. Can Itbe pos^
sible,. howeVcr, that Mr.. Pinchback
would allow a matter of mere personal
Interests to stand in the wav of
the passage of a bill which he believes
necessary to save the country from
revolution and his race from re-enslavement?

"No St. Leuis man ever certainly
promises his wife a new'dress. He ?ays:
If I get that money, and find something
that pleases me, and I can remember
the number of vards, I may bring a
dress home, bnt don't depend on it.*
[Detroit Free Press."] It is scarcely necessary
to stigmatize the foregoing as a
gorv false hood. What a St. Louis man
really says Is: "Here, my dear, take
this Chicago mortgage and, if you can
sell it for ten cents on the dollar, then
garb your self in gaudy garniture with-,

THE SUIST. I
Dally and Weekly for 187G. '
The approach of the Presidential elec- .
tion gives unusual importance to the 3
events and developments of 1875. We 1
shall endeavor to describe thorn fully, .
faithfully and fearlessly.
THE WEEKLY SUN has now at- i
tained a circulation of over seventy .
thousand copies. Ite readers arc found 3
in every 8tate and Territory, and its 3
quality is well known to the public. 3
We shall not only endeavor to keep it 3
fully up to the old standard, but to improve
and add to its variety and power. <
ftTHE WEEKLY SUN will continue
to be a thorough newspaper. All the 3
news of the day will be found in it, con- .
d?nsed when unimportant, at full length j
when of moihent, and always, we trust,
treated in a clear, interesting and in- 3
structive .manner.
It is our aim to make the WEEKLY I
SUN the best family newspaper in the
world. It will bo full of entertaining '
oiiH nMnronriate readiucr of every sort, -
but will print nothing to offend the most
scrupulous and delicate taste. It will '
always contain the most interesting at<>- .
rles,and romances of the; day, carefully '
select and legibly printed.
The Agricultural Dejpartroent is a '
prominent future in. the WEEKLY
SUN, and Its articles will always be (
found fresh and useflil to the farmer,
Thft number of men. independent in i
politics Is increasing.andthe Weekly Sun '
is their paper especially. It belongs tone
party, and obeys no dictation, conten- 3
ding for principle;-and for the election of I
the best men. It exposes the corrup- tion
that disgraces the country and >
threatens the overthrow of republican 3
institutions. It has uo fear of knaves, 4
and seeks no favors from their supporters.
The markets of every kiud and the
fashions are regulaHy reported.
The price ofthe WEEKLY SUN is one ]
dollar ayear for a sheet of eight pages,' ?
and flfty-six columns. As this barely ]
pays the expenses of paper and printing, ]
we are not able to make any discount or ?
allow any premium to-friends who may e
make special effprts to extend his circu- )
lation. Under the law, which requires {
payment of. podtage In advance, one dol- <
Jar a year, with twenty cert to the cost j
prepaid postage added, is the rate of sub- )
scription. It is.not necessary to get up {
a filub in order.to have the WEEKLY[,
SUN at this ratei Any oue who send <
one dollar and twenty cents will get the ,
paper, postpaid for a year. \
We have no traveling agents.
