On the 4th of March, 1879, the Uni­ ted State* Senate will stand politically 4t Democrats, 33 Republicans and' 1 (David Davis of Illinois) Independent. It looks as though th* control of the Senate by the Democrats was to be of short duration. The Senate commit­ tee on Privileges and Elections have reported iu favor of Gorbln in the Cor- bUn-Butler contest over the South Car­ olina fenatorshlp, the seat now being held by Butler, which. If the Senate agrees to the report, award the seat to Corbiti. , This would make the Senate ob the 4th of March stand 41 Democrats and 34 Republicans, besides Senator Davis. A prominent Demo­ cratic United States Senator, In con­ versation with a Washington corres­ pondent of the New York Times the other day, upon this subject said: "On the 4th of March next, the Sen­ ate will stand 41 Democrats,Repub­ licans, and David Davis, of Illinois, In­ dependent. "If,'* said the Senator Mtlie&e figures are analysed, It will he found how the majority In the Senate In 1881 may turn on this disputed seat. Suppose Butler's seat is given to Cor- bin; that would make the Senate stand after March 4.41 Democrats, 34 Repub­ licans, aud 1 Independent.' The Dem­ ocrats would then have six majority.-- The terms of Senators Bruce, of Mis­ sissippi; Randolph, of New Jersey; Eaton, of Connecticut; Wallace, of Pennsylvania; Kernan, of Now York, and Thurman, of Ohio, will expire March 4,1881. One of these is a Re­ publican aud Ave are Democrats. The States which will elect Senators to ried by the Republicans at the last election, and are likely to remain Re­ publican In 1880, when the Legislatures are to be chosen which will All the va­ cancies that will occur in the Senate in 1881. The Democrats are snre of only one seat out of the six, and that Is the seat of Senator Bruce. The Republi­ cans, if they hold the five States named tvhich they ar<s likely to do, will return dye Republicans to succeed the Ave Detnocrts, whose terms will expire with the next Congress. Then the Senate would stand 33 Democrats, 37 Republicans, and 1 Independent. If Corbiu gets Butler's seat, it would make the Senate a tie, even if David Davis should cast his lot with the Dem­ ocrats, and in the event of the elec­ tion of a Republican Vice President to sueceed Mr. Wheeler, that party would aga&n assume control of the Scuate in WW." 18 THKUR NO HKXKDI'f EDITOR PLAIKDKAL**:--Your read­ ers will recollect that on the 11th of January last, a Texas ranger by the name of Tom Qanuon, made Ills ap­ pearance in the village of Nunda. aud, after Indulging to excess In the use of snapp*, proposed to show the astonish­ ed villagers, by the free u*e and flour­ ish of fire arms, how they settled old grudges aud petty grievances down In the enlightened land from whence he came. After menacing a number of individuals he came In contact with a cltiten whom he fearfully threatened with an aath to dispatch, and used tlte means by placing and snapping a six shooter four times in the immediate vicinity of the ettizen® back. The Po­ lice seeing this outrageous, dangerous performance, attempted to arrest the ranger, who turned and threatened the life of the officer if he made further advance by taking deliberate aim at hts head. At this juncture a second Police made his appearance with ten or a doxen citlxens aud succeeded in capturing the monster, who was then and there relieved of his deadly impli- ment, the bracelets put on, and taken before a magistrate and committed and sent to W oodstock to await the aitting of the Qrand Jury, who of course found a true bill against this would be murderer, turned him over to the District Attorney, whose duty we supposed it was to prosecute the peo­ ple's case. But it seems this geutle- man doue no such tiling, but on the contrary the would-be assassin is now at liberty to commit the same act again whenever he may feel so inclin­ ed, at which the people of Nunda are justly ImUguant. Certain It Is that tlile gentleman did not call to his as­ sistance one of a score of witnesses to those furious attroclous acts related above. Now, Sir, does not this look much like a plain case of malpractice on which the Grand Jury might delib­ erate at their next sitting* Surely there Is a screw loose in the machinery of state just at the point our District Attorney lias been selected to guard.-- To peril life by turning loose among humanity a desperado of the above an- tecedant* without even a show of a trial is that which shocks the nerves of the community in this locality.

V, It Isn't often that a party of men be­ come enraged at finding their lintel bills nil paid for them, but the maddest legislators of the season were a party { from Kane and Mcllenry counties who stopped at a high priced hotel in Chi­ cago last week, took rooms, had dinner tea, aud other refreshments, and then played a game Of old sledge to see who should pay the bill. The bill was a big one, aud the contest long, clone, hila­ rious and exciting; at last it was end­ ed, and the triumphant victors march­ ed down to see the conditions fulfilled while the conquered party sneaked up to the office and mournfully drew their wallets and asked for their bill. How quickly was their dejection turned to rejoicing when the reply came, "No charge, gentlemen; always happy to ac­ commodate our legislators here." But the rage of the other party at finding themselves cheated of their prize iu the very moment of their victory, as may be imagined, drew out a good many hot weather epithets.--Sycamore Republican. ^ PIMPLES.

The grounds of this oppres­ sion are that the four largest plauets of the solar svstem will be together in that part of their orbits nearest the sun, and on a Hue from the sun, with each other. This has never occurred for two thousaud years; but there have been several times when two or three of them luve occupied this position, and on each occasion there have been terrible storm?, hurricanes, droughts, sickness of all kinds, plagues epi dem­ ies, and such like destructive agencies at Work to depopulate the earth--one of these (times was wiieu the same dis­ ease that now threatens Europe from Asia, known as the "black death," slew more than eighty million people be­ fore its career was ended. The same plague, nowcreating a panic iu Eu rope?, would seem to be a tore runner of the evil to come. For some reason or other for many years past, the year 1881 has been" regarded as a period which is to be characterized by many wonderful events--and this is without alluding to "Mother Shipton's proph­ ecy." which, as all knowt was a hoax that has excited thousands* "MIND YOUK OWN BUSINESS." Dailv aud hourly this hackneyed, homely expression comes home to the great tribe of busy bodies, and, if heed­ ed by them, what a world of contention anil discord would bo saved iu every community. "Mind your owu busi­ ness." What a simple thing to do. It costs nothing, and behold how great is the promised rewjirtl to the peacema­ ker. Their ways are ways of pieasaut- ness, and all their paths are peace in tills life, aud a richer reward in the life to come. "But" says one, "perhaps some of these individuals have'ht any legitimate business ot their own to mind." Well, then, in the name of Heaven, let them leave other people's business alone. Would that the numbers were great­ er who follow this advice in the very letter and spirit of the term. I have read somewhere that a liberal handful of active envy, hatred, malice and all uncharitablenesK does undoubtedly leaven every community. Envy. Ah! there's the rub. And a lack of that divine attribute, Charity. Oh! how hard, and evil aud cruel, this mighty uncliaritableness makes the human heart. 1 once heard a noted writer afilrm that as far as his experience ex­ tended, every neighborhood--no mat­ ter how conservativo or remote--was cursed with at least one dragon aud drugoness, who were ever displaying the cloven foot of that small, imper­ ceptible small talk which cuts like powdered glass ground in Tophana. Now, what possible reward can be gained by these busy-bodies who nev­ er mind their own busiuess, but are constently exercising ' their envious tongues about their neighbors' aflairs. To be sure they gain a sort of notori­ ety. They are notables in their way. Their hearts are filled with the sour milk of human unkiiidness. Envy dees it all. Yetf how hard they try to make the world believe they are so mush truer, wiser aud honester than their neighbors. Brit they cannot deceive the world. In nine cases out of ten the back ground of their lives is one of shame and sorrow, and so they seek to build,up a reputation through their neighbors' bad name. No, they can not deceive the world. ( There is a shabby, filthy, ragged, mean, sneaking sort of way they have which betrays them, aud as a general thing, with those whom they eondemn they but poorly compare, and whose Mshoe latchet they are uuworthy to unloose," when it comes to the matter, of hon­ esty of purpose and right 'motives. the clever wonder of Why be distressed with headache low spirits and nervousness when Ellert's Daylight Liver Pills are sold all Druggists. • '.\5 " 1 •..<*,j..-. -- - • * •• »-•. 4 .. WASHINGTON CORRIMPOMOtCNCK. WASHISGTOM, D. C. Feb. Sib, 1878, A statement is going the rounds that Seuator Sharon has recently received from the U. S. Treasury a sum varying from $30,000 to 030,000 for railage and salary tas Senator, when, all told, he has not been in his seat as such', above 30 days. I have no means at hand of ver­ ifying the correctness of these figures, or ascertaining how mueh of this state­ ment is fact nor how much is exagger­ ation. But every observer at the Cap­ itol last session and the first part of the present on?, knows Sharon's seat was vacant while he was in auocesslul pursuit of mamon in the gold mines of Nevada. But I am persuaded that the whole history of American Congresses from first to last will be ransacked in vain for a more aggravated case of "afe> sen tee Ism" or for a more flagrant out­ rage than the payment of even the smaller sum would be on tax payers who were made to contribute it. Back pay steal is hardly a circumstance to it, and I am confident that it would re­ quire a degree of brazen assurance rare even among Congressmen to demand or consent to receive the money under the circumstances. If the national trait to instinctively oppose imposi­ tion Is not sufficiently developed to lead us alt to crying out with one ac­ cord against such a perversion of the spirit of the law as is implied In the statement quoted, it would ieem that self-interest aud protection would move us to demand such a legislation as will render such abuses hereafter Impossible ' Senator Windoin's plan broached in Congress some time ago for the pur­ pose of providing homes for the Freed- men where they can exercise the rights conferred by the amended Constitu­ tion without being subjected to the lawlessness and intimidation that is alleged to be habitually practiced against them in certain sections of the South, lias evidently secured the coun­ tenance of many of the leading colored men throughout the country. Senator Bruce and Representatives Ralney and Smalls are reported to have accord­ ed it their warm support, and the pastor of every colored chureh in Washington an<l others of tHe race who lead is implicitly followed, are said to be as earnestly in favor of It.-- Reports of similar significance reach lis from the more Important cities of tbe south. And the friends of law and order will wish the plan success Just to the extent that It is houestly intended and calculated to meet the real needs of the race. The raoveuicut seems to have awakened appreheusious among Southern politicians here who would be damaglngly effected through the smaller uumber of Congressmen and other officials which States would be entitled tu from which there should be any considerable exodus. But the gravest consequences of such a move­ ment would fall ou those sections which were deprived by it of their laborers There is hardly an industrial interest throughout the South, saying nothing of any ethers, that would not sutler by general desertiou of the eolorcd popu­ lation; and in t|ie faoe of such a men­ ace it would seem wise on ' the part of the Southeru statesmen to put them­ selves to \vork with a will and deter­ mination to remove any and every just cause of complaiut on the part of the colored laborer. Without negro labor­ ers it would seem that the ootton, rice and cane fields ol the South would be of little value. The feeling over the defeat of Sen­ ator Coukliug by the President and Mr. Sherman seems gradually subsid­ ing aud giving place to fresher sensa­ tions. While the lesson taught by the defeat seems to have been urgently needed in certain Senatorial circles where the dictation of subordinate Federal appointments were held to be tlie right of the Senator in whose jur isdictlou they were made, those most familiar with the real spirit under­ lying the controversy seem least disposed to boast of it *s a great vic­ tory for Civil Service Reform. Laying aside the Administration endorse­ ments of Collector Arthur after his supercedure by Merritt, and every other consideration pro or con, the na­ ture of the letters read hi executive session from the President and Cabi­ net officials tends to the belief that the celebrated Civil Service order was sometimes thought to be more honor­ ed In its breach than its observance.-- Those commending the son of *'8 to V* Bradley, aud the Presidents biogra­ pher, Howard, for appointments under Arthur were especially diverting to the Democrats and stalwarts, while they were a souroe of confusion to the Administration men. Probably Mr. Sherman thinks more harm em now result from keeping those letters hid. den than by their publication. Least­ wise It is reported that he is about to give tnem to the press. Certainly any credit he can devise froln the publica­ tion of his own, if they are like the one relating to the appoMtiitent erf Justice Bradley's son and which hai already been made pnbllc, most be of the negative kind. People will likely draw their own inferences as to what the "manifest reasons" were which in* duced tlie Secre tary to hope that tk* request would be favorably considered^ The Secretary is remembered here a* the person who a few months ago was so violently opposed to more than of the same family holding a Fed* oral office.
