INGALLS AND HIS FUTURE.

Senator Ingalls made his appearance in the Senate on ths 4th, looking none the worst for his ardupus campaign and weari some journey from Kansas. His appearance was as calm and dignified as ever,and his voice has lost none of its resdnance and measured cadence. The Senator says that the Republicans of Kansas supported him most loyally, and he fully appreciates their devotion. It was a square fight, but he was defeated last fall at the polls by the stay away Republicans. Nearly every Senator, Democrat as well as Republican, shook hands with him upon his appearance on the floor, and expressed their regrets with a sincerity and cordiality that was more earnest than the ordinary type. Mr. Ingalls will not be at a loss for employment. He has already received num* erous propositions to go into businessSeveral very flattering offers have come from prominent law firms In tbe West and in Naw York city. He has been offered the editorship of two n&spapers— one in New York city and one In Detroit. He has been offered a salary of *IO,OOO a year by the New York Sun to write a daily article over his signature on current topics, ahd he found upon his desk a very tempting proposition from a lecture manager of high, responsible character. This man offers him the sum of *15,000 for thirty lectures; another offers *5,000 for six lectures. It is very probable that the Senator will accept one of these propositions, but

at Atchlseu. and will probably accept the position ot solicitor of a Western rattroid.
