M&mm ?v&tfti$mtx. Changing Political Complexion of the Uniteu States Senate. Accidental events as well as the pro? gress of public sentiment favor the Dein < ooxatic party. The death of Senator Morton diminishes the slender and wan? ing Republican majority in the Senate, and his Democratic successor will be an addition to the strength of the other side. Senator Patterson, of South Carolina, who is under indictment for felony, is likely to lose his seat by expulsion, and his successor will be a Democrat. Sen? ator Davis, of Illinois, who. attended the Senatorial caucus of neither party, will v probably act with the Democrats in ques? tions where they have right and justice ?; dearly on their side. Tf the Democratic ; claimants from Louisiana and South Car? olina are admitted to seats, the long Re? publican ascendancy in the Senate is gone, and the Democratic party will have a majority in both branches of Con? gress. It is certain enough that the Democrats will control the Senate during the." last two years of President Hayes' term, and there seems almost an. even chance that they may gain this advantage in the Forty-fifth Congress. This possi? ble change in the party composition of j the Senate is of so much interest that it , may be worth while to look into it. The following classified list' contains the names of all Senators entitled to seats on the day of Mr. Morton's death, with the single omission of Senator Davis, of Illi? nois, whose independent position does not permit him to be arrayed on either side: RepiitiUcan*.?Allison, Iowa; Anthbnv, R, I.; Blaine, Me.; Booth, Cal.; Bruce, Miss.; Burnside, R.

C.; Snulsbury, Del. ; Thufman, Ohio; Wallace, Pa.; Whyte, _ Md.; Withers, Va.?33. By the death of Senator Morton and the certainty that the Governor of In? diana will appoint a Democratic suc? cessor, this slender Republican majority of six is reduced to four;and-.to three as often as Judge Davis votes .on the Demo? cratic side. If Patterson, of South Car? olina, should be expelled, the Republi? cans will have only a majority of two on critical occasions And of only one after Patterson's Democratic successor is seat? ed. With Sharon, of Nevada, absent, as he feels at liberty to be a great part of the time, the Republican majority would be annihilated as soon as Patterson is re? placed by a Democrat, and the Senate would be brought to a tie on political ? Suestions. But a tie would not destroy j Republican control, since the Vice Pres- j ident, who is a Republican, has a casting ' vote, whenever the Senate is equally di? vided. But it must be remembered that there are three vacant seats, and that the filling of these may reduce the Republi- j cans to an absolute minority, when the I casting vote of the Vice President cannot jj help them. Louisiana is not represented in the Senate at all, and South Carolina has but one Senator. These three seats belong, of right, to the Democrats, and if the Democratic claimants are admitted . the Republican majority in the Senate is , hopelessly gone for the whole of Hayes' term. * If the Republican Senators are unscru* pulous enough they may perhaps main? tain their ascendancy during the Forty fifth Congress by admitting Kellogg from Louisiana and keeping the other unfilled seats vacant. But this would be a h&z - ardous experiment. Judge Davis would certainly vote against them in any at? tempt to perpetrate a manifest injustice, and perhaps also two or three Republi-. can benatore who strongly approve of President Hayes' Southern policy. If the President was right in recognizing the Democratic State governments in Louisiana and South Carolina, the Dem - o era tic Senators from those States ought to be admitted. It is only necessary that two Republican Senators?say Mr. Chris tiancy and Stanley. Matthews?should , vote with Judge Davis and the Demo-j crats in filling the contested seats to es? tablish a clear Democratic ascendancy in the Senate. The foregone certainty that the Democrats are to control the Senate during the last half of Mr. Hayes' term tends to discourage unscrupulous party zeal, and it is quite possible that the fill? ing of the vacant seats may reduce the Republicans to a minority in the present' Senate. When their very slender ma? jority can be maintained only by a reck? less partisanship which overrides justice, and may be lost in any event by the re? fusal of barely two Republican Senators to go- all lengths, the party is practically bankrupt in the Senate of the United States. If a merchant were reduced to such an extremity bis credit would be ruined. ? This narrow and vanishing Republican majority in the Senate is a great political fact which President Hayes cannot pru? dently ignore. The usefulness of his ad? ministration depends upon a reasonable support by Congress. He is in a very different position from that in which General Grant stood during the first six years of his administration, when he had strong Republican majorities in both houses. Beyond the mere routine of ex? ecutive duties President Hayes can do little for the advantage of the country without the permission of his political opponents. During the last half of his term certainly, and for the first half pos? sibly, he will have to depend on Demo? cratic votes to get his appointments con? firmed, and no public measures which he may recommend to Congress can possi? bly pass without Democratic approval. If, therefore, he desires to promote the public weal he must abandon every thought of being a party President. He must attempt nothing which is not clear? ly for the public advantage, and by adopting this simple rule he may win approval for a useful and perhaps even a brilliant administration. As he is pledged against seeking or accepting a second term he has no strong personal motive to sway him from a course dic? tated by high patriotism, and if he recog? nizes the opportunities put in his way by this unique situation he may leave our public affairs in a far better condition than that in which he found them. It is too evident that President Hayes' political party cannot help him. If he expects much of it he will lean upon a broken reed. For the last half of his term it will have no power in either branch of Congress, and even for the first half it is powerless in the House and fatally crippled in the Senate. This state, of things opens a grand opportunity J to . the President if he is sagacious J enough, has moral elevation enough, and political courage enough to improve it for the benefit of the country.- 31?'can do what none of his recent predecessors I have had any possibility of accomplish? ing. ' He can emancipate himself from all party ties, can rise superior to all nar? row partisan views, and gi7e us, for ?noe in this generation, an administration con-j ducted with an eye single to the public J good. A successful partisan administra? tion would be quite out of hi3 reach, even if he possessed the vigor of the late Sen? ator Morton combined with the political tact of Senator Blaine. There is an in? superable barrier to his success as a party chief in the great and growing Demo? cratic strength in Congress. There is but one successful course open to Presi? dent Hayes, and that lies in the direction of reforming the abuses which have grown up during three generations of party control of the government. A sub? lime and beneficent mission if the Presi? dent could be brought to see it! As a party President Mr. Hayes' hands are completely tied; but as a President of the people, seeking only their advantage and appealing only to their candor, hon? esty and intelligence for support, he has an opportunity to distinguish his admin? istration from those of our long line of party Presidents, who have been con? strained by' personal ambition or party necessities to do things which the judg? ment of impartial men could not sanc? tion*. President Hayes is morally and politically free, and since his own party is powerless to help him, and the Demo? cratic opposition snows no disposition to thwart him, he may leave a great mark on our public life if he rises to the full height of his opportunities.?New York Herald.

JAUNDICE is produced by obstinate ague, by catching cold; by the stoppage of customary evacuations; by an obstruction of the bilerduct, or by a severe blow over the region of the liver. It is easily recog? nized by the yellowness of the whites of the eyes. After a few days' discomfort, the roots of the nails, the face, neck, trunk and limbs become morbidly discolored;The urine is deep saffron in color, the bowels constipated, the appetite irregular. Lan? guor, headache, and depression of spirits are more or less prominent. The disease, may -continue for weeks or months, or it may prove fatal as early as the fourth day. 8IMMON8' HEPATIC COMPOUND acts like magic in Headache and Jaundice, and in all bilious disorders.

The reputation it has attained, in consequence of the marvellous cures it, has produced daring the last half cen? tury, is a sufficient assurance to the public that it will continue to realize I the happiest results that can be desired. In almost every section of country there are persons, publicly known, who have been restored from alarming and even desperate diseases of the longs, by its use. All who have tried It ac? knowledge its superiority; and where its virtues are known, no one hesitates as to what medicine to employ to re? lieve the distress and suffering peculiar to pulmonary affections. Cherry Pec? toral always affords instant relief and performs rapid cares of the milder va? rieties of bronchial disorder, ?s well as the more formidable diseases of the lungs. As a safeguard to children, amid the distressing diseases which beset the Throat and Chest of Childhood, it is invaluable; for, by its timely ose, multitudes are rescued and restored to health. This medicine gains friends at every trial, as the cares it is constantly producing are too remarkable to be forgotten. No family should be with- - out it, and those who have once used it never will.
