Tuk Buffaio Commercial AdvertUer (Rep.) suggests that the Senate " ought to vindicate its dignity and honor by expelling" Senator Pattebson. It is questionalile in tho light of recent events whethur the job of white washing that body can be so easily accomplished. One Jonah would hardly suffico. Besides, individual members are a little timid, having some time or other read or hcard tho injimction, " let him that is without sin cast the firstgstone." Or putting it in another way, too many of the Senators have had a piece of the Credit Mobilier pig or some other well-fattened anima). The Commercial Advertiser need not look for any such action of the Senate. The TJansing liepublican of last week suggested that the coming Republican State convention, recognizing a Regent as a non-politieal officer, nomínate one Ropublican and one Democrat. It says : "We express our opinión individually in maintaining that the policy of making tlie election of Regenta to the State University a political matter is adverse to the best interests of the institution." And so say we, and we hopo that the proposition of the Ilepuhlican will be indorsed by both political conventions, and the precedent followed in future. The World Almanac for 1873 is an excellent number of that popular annual. lts statistical and election tables are more full and complete than thoso of an7 similar publication, making it a conyenient and nccessary handbook for the business man and politician. 20 cents will bny it.
