not felt as to the return of Gen. Scbenck in the Third and Judg3 Shellabarger in the Sev enth, though the chances are in their favor. On the whole, the next delegation is expected to stand about as the present. The State ticket will be elected by a larger majority than that of last year. Indiana chooses Congress ait ind a Sec retary of State, Auditor, Treasurer, Attor ney-General, Superintendent of Public In struction, and Judges of the Superior Court for four districts.

The present delegation in Congress "comprises seven and four Democrats. The vote on both State and Congressional ticket is expected to prove very close. On the Congressional, the Republicans feel uncertain about one of their districts, (where Julian was defeated in tbe Dominating convention) and they hope to gain one of the Democratic. Iowa on State and Congressional tickets will go high and dry for the Republicans The heavy Republican majorities of the last two years leave no doubt about the result now. Nebraska chooses a full State ticket and a Consrreeeman.

and there is little reason to fear that she will not do both on a Republi can basis. West Virginia will go the same way, although the campaign there has been hardly developed as yet The acquisition of the Papal Territory, apart from its political value, is no small gain in a material stcce to the Kingdom of Italy. The fire Pap al States cf Borne and Comarea, Velle- tri, Viterbo, Civita Vecchia and Frosinone, comprise an area of 4,552. square about the same extent of country as the State of Connecticut, and have a population of 750,000, The part of Civita Vecchia lying half way be. tween Genoa and Naples is the great commer cial center of Central Italy.

Its harbor is only Inferior to Genoa and Naples as a refuge from the violent squalls of the Mediterranean, and it has regular steam communication with all the principal ports of the Mediterranean. The import and export trade of the Papal Territory, amount to nearly $30,090,000 a year, and under a more liberal system than characterised the late government, may be largely increased. The annual revenue is about 15.000,000. All branches of industry pursued in this region may be expected to receive a fresh impetus under the new regime. The last thing in the way of discouraging Chinese emigration comes from Oregon.

A bill has been introduced in the legislature of that State, forbidding any mile inhabitant of the State to wear a cue or shave any part of the scalp, unless he takes a license for the privilege of so doing at an expense of ten dollars a month. We presume an exception is mads for cases of brain fever but there is an aspect to this bill which should at once secure for it the earnest attention of the advocates of woman's rights. If it is possible to order by law how a man shall wear the hair of his head, we have the same right cf regulation in the case of women and so ace anti-jute-and-chignon party may come into power in some localities, wjth results horridly demoralizing to the world of female fashion. C-biruary. rnz HUGH LCDLOW.

A letter from Geneva, in Switzerland, brings tidings of the death at that city of Fitz Ilugh Ludlow, a gentleman well known to the American public for many years as a brilliant magazine writer. Mr. Ludlow was the son of the Rev. H. G.

Ludlow, a Congregationalist clergyman, who died at Oswego six or seven years ago. The first essays of young Ludlow were published about 1855, in New York newspapers. He contributed voluminously to the Evening Post, and In a more fitful way to other journals. The first lit erary venture to which his name was attached was the Hasheesh Eater," published about 1857. He had been addicted to the use of opium in different forms for many years, but had suc ceeded in throwing off the tyrant, and was inte rested in showing other victims how to escape its sway.

A series of stories appeared soon after wards in Harper Magazine, of which, though all were extravagant, the best are very pleasant reading. Those best are in a humorous vein. The stories were afterwards collected under the title of Little Brother the best of the series Soon after the publication of these, Mr. Ludlow took a journey across the Plains in company with Mr. liierstadt, the artist.

The fruits of this ex pedition, so far as he was concerned, appeared in a series of entertaining papers in the Atlantic Monthly, subsequently published in book form under the title of across tbe Continent." Upon his return to siew York he wrote in a desultory way, and mostly anonymously, for many journals and periodicals. Mr. had been abroad but a few months. He was a witness, in the McFarland trial last spring, and was a subject of some of the peculiar badgering in which tbe counsel in that case delighted to indulge. Mr.

Ludlow had many fine gifts, but not the steadiness of char acter necessary to make the best of them. His death, at so early an age as 83, puts a period to a life of which the actual results are very evident ly and sadly short the promises and possibil ities. Louis Napoleon Ixtervikwed at Wixhzlh3- bohk. A correspondent of the London Stand ard gives the following as the result of an inter view with the fallen Emperor If I am asked what was the predominant im pression left on me by tbe conversation which followed, reply unhesitatingly the strong feel ing of tbe Jbmperor with respect to England. Almost the first words that passed his lips were an expression of gratification at tbe numerous letters of condolence and sympathy be had received since his misfortunes from persons who were perfect strangers to him, and there was nothing on which he seemed to dwell with so much pleasure as on the advance which had Deen made during his reign in the cordial un derstanding between the two countries.

"When came to ParhVjheaid, there were still great remains of the old ill-feeling and he dwelt with marked gratification on tbe change that had since taken place. He was much interested, too, in the condition of English feeling at the present time, questioning me closely on the subject, and expressing his regret at the tone assumed by a portion of the London press. The monstrous statement of his having misappropriated some fifty millions of the army votes seemed particularly galling to him. As if." he said. eould possibly have done such a thing even if I had desired it." He Spoke most feelingly also the terrible catastrophe of the Captain, expressing the strongest sympathy, and dwelling upon some or the details or the accident in a manner which showed fully the interest he had taken in it.

Tho assistance given by England his wounded soldiers had evidently also made great impression upon him. Speaking of ranee and of the present condition of atfairs there, his tone which in dealing with -other matters had been earnest, but not uncheerful saddened visibly, and be signed heavily as be to where, and cf a not impossible future in store for Paris. There was uot the slightest appearance of resentment in the way in which he spoke of the changes that had recently taken place, but a terrible foreboding of what might come. I ventured to express a hope that all might yet go well, and that, before long, we might see him onee more at the Tuileries He sat for some moments silent then, with a sizh. turned azain to me and said, No one can tell no one can air, what may happen cow."

Collamer, Senator elect from Windsor county, presented his credentials and was duly sworn. Joint Resolution from the House that the two Houses meet in joint assembly Thursdav morn-! iog at 11 o'clock to hear the report of the com. mittee to canvass the votes for Governor, Lieu. tenant-Governor and Treasurer.

Dale, the Lieut-Governor elect, and the oath of cilice was duly administered. Upon assuming the chair, the Lieut: Gover nor addressed the Senate as follows Honorable Senators I could express with words which would be in harmony with this oc casion, to you, and through you to the people of our fctate, my gratitude for the confidence you and they are reposing in me and which will look in vain to my works for any fair compensa tion then with every hearty impulse of which man is capable, would do so although I am not unmindful of the fact that no substantial re turn can be made with idle words, but only by acts. In this case the most that can be done must be by a faithful endeavor, as a substitute for complete accomplishment. Perhaps I may be permitted to add, that the recipient of this position, who by reason of a want of skill is more appreciative, is all the more depressed with that deep sense of responsibility which inexperience and inaptnees to per form always bring to their possessor. 1 proceed with a keen sense of all that still I go in the pleasant way assigned me, cheered by the con sciousness that I shall always be is sight of those to whom much and a profound knowledge of parliamentary law, have been given, and which have never been wasted cr tarnished by indulgence in misplaced criticism, but have ever been a source of generous aid to tbe unlearned.

With a firm and steadfast reliance upon them, upon your charity, and upon that high source of courage, (so far as I may approach it,) fixed by correct motives, I will endeavor to do my part in the important work before us to which let us proceed without further delay, tbat we may make quick return of that industry, care, fidelity, and especially that economy, which a deserving people, in these peculiar times, may expect and will demand.

7. 1870 Tbe Coternor'4 The first Message of our respected chief Magistrate. Governor Stewart, is a clear, concise and sensible document. It opens with an appropriate allusion to tbe late Governor TYashburne. The customary financial exhibit follows, and is a very satisfactory one.J The State has paid its way as usual; has paid off within the year about $150,000 of its temporary and permanent debt, and has a balance of cash in the Treasury, sufficient to meet all current liabilities and $14,000 over.

It has also $196,000 in a sinking fund, to meet, in part, the bonds falling due in 1871. A portion of these, it seems, are affected by the recent legal tender decision of tbe IT. S. Supreme Court, and will have to be paid in gold, making (if gold remains at its present premium) a pretty heavy addition to the obligations of the State. With the increased grand list of tbe State, however, the Governor hopes that no greater tax will be required than latt year.

The recommendations of Governor Stewart are few and weighty. lie suggests the im- portance of establishing a normal school or schools, which shall be such in reality, and not merely in name, lie recommends a modification of the existing grab-law" in relation to attachments for debt. The wrong and evil of the present law are very pointedly set forth, and it would seem as if the mere statement of them was sufficient to secure the desired ac tion. The Legislature has once endeavored to corrcot this evil, but did it so imperfectly that the next Legislature preferred the disease to the remedy, and restored the old law. We trust our legislators will try again and with better success this year.

The Governor recommends the passage of a contingent act for the re-districting the State, if, as in all human probability will be the case, the State loses a member of Congress under the next apportionment. The best lawyers, we believe, are agreed that there is no legal objection to such a measure and it would seem to be a simple act of economy. The Governor's final recommendation is for a modification of our existing system for the listing of property and assessment of taxes. Tbe evils of unequal valuation and of conse quent unequal and unjust taxation, to which hn calls attention, are crvinz ones. This legislature ought to provide some remedy for the lists of this Year, so far as real estate is concerned, must stand for a term of years.

With brie! congratulations on the growing prosperity of our commonwealth, a word the Shin Canal, and an invocation for the Divine blessing, the Governor closes a Messaero which has in a marked degree the CJ merits of brevity, clearness, and sound eense All the desolation which four years of war necessarily worked in Valley of Virginia has been exceeded by as many days of de structive storm. The Qood which has swept through the valley during the last week prob-' ably has no parallel for ruinous effect among the many similar catastrophes to which Vir- ginia has been subject. Beginning in the extreme southern part of the State, the storm traveled northward, seeminz to increase in intensity until the Maryland border was reached. From Richmond westward to Staunton and Lynchburg, on the route of the James river, the greatest amount of mischief has been done. The inundation of Richmond was complete.

The bridges crossing to Man Chester have been deetroyed. At Lynch burg railroad communication is broken off, the bridges and the embankments being thoroughly swept away. The welling of the Virginia streams rush- C3 ing into the Potomac increased the volume of its water so much as to submerge part of Washington and Georgetown. The crops of the summer, carefully garnered throughout the Virginia valley, have been utterly des troyed in this havoc of storm and flood. Human life has also suffered.

Fifty lives are known to have been lost at Harper's Ferry, eighteen at Scotsville, in Albemarle county, and many more at. Lynchburg and other joints. Probably not less than from seventy-five to one hundred persons have perished. The destruction of property is roughly estimated at five or six millions of dollars. The suffering that must ensue in this region, not yet fully recovered from the desolations of war, is dreadful to contemplate.

Subscription lists for the sufferers have already been opened in New York. Elections occur in six States this month in Pennsvlvania. Indiana. Ohio, Iowa and Nebraska on the 11th in West Virginia on the 27th. The size and nearly even ly balanced political condition of some of these States, and the efiect they will have upon the complexion of Congress, render the elections of much interest.

Members of Congress are to be elected in all the States, and full State tickets in Nebraska and West Virginia. State tickets, excepting Governor, are to be elected in Ohio, Indiana and Iowa. Pennsylvania does not choose a State ticket. Its present Congressional delegation stands sixteen Republicans to eight Demo crats. Authoritative assurance is given that the Republican strength, on the whole, will be undiminished, while a Republican gain of one or two is not improbable.

The election in Ohio is for Congressmen and a Secretary ot State, Supreme Judge, Controller, and member of the Board of Public Works. Last year Governor Hayes beat George H. Pendleton by 7518 majority. The present Congressional delegation stands' thirteen Republicans to six Democrats. The campaign thus far eannot be called a very animated one, and Democrats are sanguine of making gains in 1 of to a NATIONAL HANfc.
