Oftho sixteen repnblicniiB who will rctiro twelvo will certainly bo succeeded by men ol tlio anino party. Messrs.

The present senalo stands forty four republicans, thirty-four demo crats and "IlondjUBtcr" Kiddle fiercer, but Senntor Vim Wyck comes back from Nobruskii as a people's re pro tentative, lie iiiado his fight buloro the wholo pooplo and won on tho Imhiio of oppo sitinn to corporations.

TIiiih .Messrs. Van Wyck and Kid illeborger would hold tho buhiiiro of power. In connection with this probable situation it is a fact worth iiieiitiouingthat both Van Wyck and Hlddleberger have given ovi donco of a kindly fooling for tlio administra tion. In tho event ol any conllict between tho executive and the senate the two voles from Nobrlisku and Virginia would deter mlno tho issue. Van Wyck and Itiddlo bergcr would have it in their power, by co operation with tlio democrats, to orgituir-o tlm s'Miulo; or should Van Wyck vote with tho republicans and Itiddleborger wit li tlio democrats on the question of organization, them would be a tie, and thoicis 110 vice president to throw tho deciding vote. A J'RISOS SESSATIOS. jThe Fliytclan in Cliarye MUert Up Willi VrooUed Trautacltoiii. Jackson (Mich.) dlspntch: Tho bonrd of stato prison Inspectors tills ovonlng sus pended Dr. W. If. rainier, the prison phy iclan, until 1111 investigation of tlio charges preferrod agninsthlin in connection with Ids ofUco. Tlio action of the board croated tho liveliest sensation, and although tho Inspectors refused to dlvulgo the naluro of tlio charges inndo against Palmer, they were easily obtained from a reliablo sourco mid added to tho oxcltemont. Among tlie things tho doctor is accused of is using his position to Hocuro tho roleaso of convicts. During tho last six months a number of convicts havo been pardoned out on tho ntatemont t lint they had incurable disoaso mill would soon die. Tlio number was so largo that it created comment, yot all may lie straight casus. There have been also several singular escapes from prison. Con victs ha 10 been found armod and provided with money, and ono case has boon un earthed where 11 convict has succeeded In flooding the rouiiiiunity with counterfoil coins made by himself, tho bogus roin hav lug ln'i 11 convoyed out of the prison by some means. A sot of (lies and a lot of metal were found accreted In his cell. Tliesescan dais havo attracted state attention, and Dr. l'almei's suspension to-day nn I utility causes his nauio to lie connected with thoiu in curient report. Last .Saturday Samuel Pnytou, a convict and grandson of Com niodoro Perry, was discharged on (lie ex piration of Ills sentence. 1'ayton had nerved as Palmer's clerk. He went before tho board and charged rainier witli receiv ing compensation for getting convicts into tlio hospital on tho score of sicklies, wheio tlioy dlo not havo to work, and were pro vided with luxuries as invalids. Waidou Hatch is censured by popular opinion for the laxity said to exist In tlio prison man ngouiont. lie is the same million who last spring had a professional opera company perforin light operas In tho prison for the amusement of tho convicts.

Tho nows reaches us of nn outrage perpe trated on tho person of T. D. Cobbey, at Wyinore, IobI night, which throw the penco ful and law-abiding citizens of Wymorointo a state of conimo'ion and indignation against Mr. Cobbey's ansnilant. Soinotlmo between the hours of two and three o'clock this morning, Mr. Cobbey was aroused from his sleep by a knock at his door. He nroso and reaching tlio door, a volco from without informed him that ho had been sent from Dcatrico with a buiidlo which ho was reepjested to dollvcr to Mr. Cobbey. Suspecting nothing. Mr. Cobbey answered the summons by opening the door, but in stead of recoiving a bundlo, he henrd a "sisli," ns of rushing wntcr, and tho next moment was awaro that ho was the victim ol a foul conspiracy, and trickling flown the tho right sido of his head back of his ear, coursed tho vilo stuff with which tho assail ant had hoped ho would bo disfigured for life. It so happened that tho position in which Mr. Cobbey was standing at tho mo ment allowed tho top of his head instead of ids facetoroceivethecontents of thesyringo or whatever was used to throw it at h 111. As soon as possible niter tho onslaught the door was closed and Mrs. Cobby an swered her husband's call. Prompt action in tlie way of supplying oils to counteract thoacid rendered Mr. Cobbey comparatively freo from pnin and saved liim from a fear ful disfiguration. Tlio liquid used was a powerful acid ol somo kind perhaps a vltrol. Thoie was a great amount of It and wns sent with such torco that the wall on thu opposite sido of tho room was sputtered, wlillo the carpet the In; I length of tho room was dotted over. So powerful was tho acid that tlio paint and varnish on tlio door where tiie stuff struck it, iias all como off. ". Cobliey wns not able to pursue his -.rsailant and as ho had no chance to li t a view of him, there Is very little prospect of being alilo to apprehend the villain. No explanation can be given for tlie assault. Mr. Cobbey hnd not boon warned ami know of no enemies that would resort to such low-down work to wreak vengeance upon him. Tlio person that will do such a thing is tho meanest of tho mean. To assault a man in tlio dnrk is tlio basest kind ol treachery and tliero is scarcely a known punishment lit "for tlio crime, and it js to lie hoped a speedy bringing of tlio culprit to justice will bo accomplished. lleatrico Kxpress. tiii: output (;' the mist.

Honorary degrees were then con ferred upon alargo number ol distinguished persons. During the exercises President Cleveland roso and bowed acknowledgment at every reference to his name. After tlie exercises tlie company repaired to C.10 ban quet hall, where thu viands were amply dis cussed. An hour was passed in speech making.

If tlio fact is recalled that only twelve of my twonty-oue predecessors in odlco hiul the advantage of a collegiate or university education, proof is picsented of tho democratic sense ot our people, rather than an argument against the hii promo value of tho best and most liberal education in high positions. Tliero cer tainly can bo no sulllcient reason for any space or distance between the walks of the most classical education and tho way that leads to political place.

So Change in it Attitude Heeause of tlie At torney (lenerars Opinion. Washington dispatch: It is stated on authority that the opinion given by the at torney general, as to tho unavailability of called It jier cents ns a basis ol national bank circulation, will niako 110 change in tlie attitude of tlie treasury department, because this opinion only continued tlio rule heretofore followed. The bankB have shown considerable diligence 111 acting under this rule, and in consequence ot it they have withdrawn from depostnnd presented for redemption nearly ? 10,000,000 of :i per cent bonds since tlie 1 2th of August, the date (d tlio first SI 0,000, 000 call, and at the same rate hereafter it is exjiocted that withdrawals will keep pace very fairly with future calls. Against the 40,000,000 II per cents withdrawn tliero have been only about 58,000,000 of other bonds depos ited, so that tlio total bonds on deposit to secure national bank circulation have been reduced by about SJU, 000,000, which con tracts tho circiilition by about 528,000, 000. If those proportions nro preserved throughout the changes resulting from fu ture calls of .'1 per cent bonds, there may bo a further contraction of about S.'tS.OOO.OOO by the time all these bonds aro withdrawn.' It is said at tlio treasury that this contraction 111 tlio volume ol tho national haul; circulation will not bo felt 1 11 tlie channels of trade, been use national bank notes withdrawn from circulation will be leplacod by dish-nsi-incuts I'll' tlio treasury, and iu'nddilioii tin, l)..in;s that surrender bonds anil reduce their circula tion leceive money for 10 per c ut of tho bonds redoi-ined and f per cent of the cir culation surrendered, making 1-P.j jier cent upon tlio face of tho bonds. On August 12 the total amount of .'t per cent bonds hold liv tho hunks ns 11 basis for circulation was a'littlo miiro than 51011, 000,000, so that when these bonds aro all paid their jiay meiit will put iu circulation 511 500,000 niori) than the iimoiiut of currency then outstanding on these bonds. The redemp tion of national bank notes is a very slow process. 'Iho last report of tlio treasurer showed that ho was holding $00,000,000 lawful money for the redemption of out standing hunk circulation, and of courso the more rapid the surrender of circulation tlio larger will bo the amount required to lie held in tlio treasury until the people choose to soud the notes in and tako law ful money instead.
