Chicago, May 16. There seems to be a
liitch in the election of the United States
Senator by the Connecticut I-egislature
The House on its part elected Gen. Ferry on
the 16th, and the Senate was to have been
called the n-xt day, but the S-nate post
poned the election one week. Republicans
tfrqm Wa bington say Ferry will certainly bo
beaded off. He claims to have intelligence,
which the Johnson men in Washington are
very happy over, that three votes have been
secured in the Connecticut Senate, sufficient
to secure a dad-lnck of the Scoviil pattern.
The report of the vote in the House incor
rectly gave Foster 19 votes, it shouli have
been 7 thus giving Ferry a majority in that
bodv. . ' .'

" Wathington, May 17. In the Senate," the
bill to prohibit the carriage, sbipmeet or
"transportation of .nitro glycerine on passen
ger vessels or railroads, was passed. The
Senate also passed a bill to grant lands in
aid of the construction of a railroad from
the Central PaciBc Kailroud in California, to
Portland. Qrecno .' . . ..'
Washington, May 19. As the contract for
the colonization of Lower California seems
to be misunderstood, it may be of Interest to
from official data, that Jacob P- Leese, with
the endorsement of the local mirhnrition
made a contract with the Mejicin. Govern
ment for the colonization of parts of Lower
California. He was to receive land at a tar
iff of prices, and to advance certain sums of
money as a part ot the payment which it was
agreed should be pnid in San Francisco.
This was afterwards changed' so that t.he
sura should be paid- at New York, and was
paid to Romero. The Mexican government
therefore: baa soliT' BAIHA VAf.nnt Inn?.' Ktit
not the sovereignity of the country. ' i
r'Xtw l'ark, May 17. A special dispatch to
tub evening papers says the President's mes
sage to-day, enclosing Gen. Grant's letter,
asks tor the immediate passage of a bill to
increase the regular army. :The Lieut.Gen.
assigns as a reason for this request the fact
thai more troops are needed on the frontier
and at the South.. He also expressed the
opinion max me troops cannot be withdrawn
from the South with safety for some time to
come. '.' ' " ' v. .-. , . ,.
The Columbia river at this point rose very
rupiuiy on oaturaay nigut, and on Sunday
liad reached the height of two feet above
Wgh water mark of last year. The cellars
of several buildiugs nn Main street were
drowned out in the Umatilla House cellar
there, was. three feet of water. ' It rose at the
' rate of three Inches an hour up to 2 o'clock
p. m. yesterday, when It came to a stand.
From that time Hp to' the present writing 2
o'clock g. rr.. it.has receded about one foot.
All fears of- high water the present season
are now patse'd.- The present cold weather
will tend to check the melting of the snows
until , the present. fliJbd has had sufficient
time to run out.I ;..
