Show TEE UNITED STATES SENATE. Tuo New York Sun estimates the new senate of March 4th, 1S77, at thirty-eight republicans aud tbirty-aix tbirty-aix democrats. But by that time two new senators from the state of Colorado Colo-rado will probably have been elected. If the democrats shall secure these the senate will b3 politically tied; if the repubjicans elect them that body will probably be substantially republican repub-lican during the first two years of the new administration. Under these circumstances the question of the political character of the senate is likely to provoke a very lively contest, con-test, and the expenditure of a considerable con-siderable sum of money. New Mexico Mex-ico may to be admitted as a Btate by the present congress, and it is said that her two senators have been promised by the ring politicians to both parlies. |
