A M E RICA.

NEW YortE, Nov. 5.

General Grant has carried Arkansas and South
Carolina. Owing to the large Democratic gains
in the Congressional elections the Republicans
have lost the two-thirds majority in the House of
Representatives, which they possessed during the
last session.

A special Congressional Committee has decided
that the reassembling of Congress, which was to
have taken place on the 10th inst., is now un

necessary.
