WasHixGToy, November 17.—Now that the logislatures of the various states are chosen and the political complexion of the new mem bers of the senate determined, there is much gossip a8 t) the make-up of that body, Twen« ty-five of the members are to be newly elected and are to hold their seats until 1801, Of these, six have already been chosen; Black burn in Kantocky, Basds in - Louistana, Alli- son in Towa, Wilson in Maryland, Merrill in Vermont and Payne in Ohio. Of the remain- ing nineceen to be selected, all will be chosen this winter, except a senator from Now Hamp- shire, 10 which state the legislatura does not meet until June, so that the state will have but one member in the senate next March, as i, of course, will be after the inau- guration of the new president. It is a peculiarity of the state couatitution of New Hampshiro that its legislature always meets in summor instead of winter. Of the nineteen new members to be chosen, ten are to be republicans and nine democrats, and when in their seats they will maka the sen: stand forty-ono republicans and thirty-f democrats, counting the Virginia readjusters The statos in which the new members are to be elected are Alabama, Ar- ifornia, Colorado, Connecticut, eorgia, [llinois, Indiana, Mis-ouri, da, New Hampshire, New York, North Carolina, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Caro: lina and Wisconsin, FIOM ALABAMA AND ARKANSAS, Considering the states in their alphabetical , the mdications are that Alabama and ve as republicans, Arkansas will be again revrasented by tho present accupants, Pugh and Walker.

Tabor would probably not be averse to coming back as a sort of vindication i the fuca of the unstinted abuse that he was sub ccted to on all haods whil» here.

From Pennsylvania it is probable that Cameron will be returned with little opposition, though it is not un- likely that the irrepressible Bayne may make a fight for the place. Bayne was an original Blaine man, Cameron probably was not, and Pennsylvania gave 80,000 majority for Blaine, It would probably be extremely annoying to Senator Butler, of Sith Carolina, to see tho seatof his close personal friend, Don Cameron, oceupied by Miller, who belabored him so mercilessly with the Hampton mas. sacro in o political speech in the Forty- seventh congress.

No nitrogen ls wheat steaw the proportion of potash is 0 40 per cent., while bean straw contains of potash as large a quantity as 2 50 per cent.; but while the bean straw is thus ricner in potash than that of wheat tha latter contains sevon times as much silica, which, though not really oconsid- ered valuable aa a fertilizer, as it always exinta plentifully, is in a condition to be more readily appropriated by plants when returned to the soil in the straw. Barley contalna a larger portion of potash than oats, but oata require a groater quantity of soda, and yet these | two min- erala are vory closely allied, Corn fodder contains 1.66 per cent. of potash, while peas contain 1.07. This indicates that corn fodder requires more potash than peas and less tnan boans, which contain moro than double the proportion in peas This is contrary to the gencral sopposl- tion that boans and pos food alike on the samo matter, as they are shown, in no. ticing the proportions of lime required by each, to be rather dissimilar, Bean straw, which excels In potash, is con- dered a limo crop also; but while the crop of baan straw per 100 pounds con- tains 135 per cont of lime, the per- contage of limo in poa straw is 1 86, thus demonstrating that the one prefer: potash and the other lime. This differ- ence between peas and bonns exists in tho soeds also, as the boans contain more potash than peas, though the lime exists in each in nearly the same quantity. Oats are supposed to be oxhausting to the soil, but while the straw is really richer in potash than that of wheat, tho grain of wheat excoeds the grain of oats largely in nearly all the mineral elements, while the grain of buckwheat is defisient in nearly everything that composes tho ash as compared with wheat. As straw thus possesses value according to the amount of mineral matter it ex- tracts from tho soil, it is plain that when- ever it is sold or removed from tho farm it carrios away a cortain proportion of the elements derived durlng the procoss of growth, and & farm can be im- poverished as easily by the removal of products that are considered valucless as by the removal of those that find a ready salo in tho market. It may correctly bo olaimod that there is nothing produced but which may be put to some purposa. Straw should be utilized for feeding, as it 18 considered excellent when fed in con- nection with graln; and when used fcr bedding it should be cut fine, to admi% of rapid de composition. The whole stocks, being composed largely of silica, do not become fit for plant food until after o great length of time, but when cut into peaces the moisture and hoat act quickly and soon disintigrate it. Al kinds of straw are therefore valuable, and if severable kinds of straw mixed together in the same com- post heap a better fertillizing material will be obtained than from any one kind separately. — A Kepublican View dene 11 Philadelphia Ledgor.

In thinking over that part of the subject it is best for all 5[ us to set aside all no tions derived one way or the other from the acerbities and bitterness of an elee- down, or tion canvass and get up, to the plain commen ronse of the case.

It was this that mado him scught for as mayor of Bufialo, when he was elected by theinde- pendents over the majority party of that city; it was thisthat caused him to bo selected for the governorship of Now York, to which oftice he was elocted by an independent revolt against objections. ble party methods; and it was this that gave him prominencs in the democratic Chicago convention s its most available womines forthe presidency. Down to this timo there is no reasonablodispute that his courso as & mayor of Buffalo was o sue cessful war agaiust the corrupt political rings with which that city was infested, and that it was groatly to the advantage of its people. Down to the fime when the exigenci.s of the presidential canvass caused o chango of base there was but litlodispute, except by politiclans of the Tammary typo, that his administra- tion of the cfiice of governor of his state had been largely to the public benefit, Before he held any oflice, be- ginning in boyhood, his reputation wiven by his employers, confirmed by his néighbors, by his partners in his profossion, by those who had business relations with him, was, that it was hiy carnest endeavor to eeck what wag right, and that he had aiways the courage to stand firmly by his rightful convictions, Now is there any valid reason to expect that a man so built up a8 1o his public duty has changed?
