SENATE ItEOHGAMZATION' . <
There can jiow bo no doubt that the efforts
which ' wcro mndo last week to bring about
a i rcorgunlz itiou of the nonnto bavo failed
lhov fulled because each state which prof
seated i a candiduto for sergeant at-arms of
the I sen uo has boon provided with positions
in tlio house , thus making It impossible for
them to successfully claim pvtronago in the
senate i Senatot Quay had a candidate from
Pennsylvania in Leeds , but Euward McPherson -
Phorson of Pennsylvania , was elected clerk
of tlio house and with Jnmos II Young oxi
eeutlvo clerk of the senate Pennsylvania
can lay claim to uo moro patronage since
Major John A Carson of Philadelphia is
to bo clerk of tbo bouse committco on ways
and means
Major Holmes of Iowa , was elected ser
geant nt arms of the house and of course It
would now bo ridiculous for Colonel S vords
of Iowa to nsk for the position of sergeant
at arms of the senate
benatois Spoonor and Sawjor of Wis1
consiu had a eandidato from their state for
the position of sergeant-nt-nrms of the soni
ate in tlio person of cx-Uoprcscn-
tativo Guenthor , but the election of
Captain Wheat of that state to
bo poHmastci of the house i
settles Wisconsin's claims for anything moro i
and tnoy have resumed their efforts to get ;
Geonther a consulate Moreover It uiny uo i
stated that the administration of Sergeant
nfc-Arins Canadav is us satisfactory as could I
have been expected fromntiy man , 'lho real 1
ground of these who have clamored for the i
reorganization of the seuato is a desire for a i
redistribution of the patronage

contends that the constitution of the United j !
btates docs not confer the right of sulfrago
on anyone , that no ono is a citizen of the
