New HAVEN, Oct. 3.-The Lesisla-
ture of this state will convene in this civ
on Thursday next. The federal papers
say that the republican majority in the
next House of Representatives will be a.
bout the same as i'll the late convention.
We repeat the opinion expressed last
week, that the republican majority will be
at least so. We shall defer giving any
conIeciures as To the persons elected
members of Congress, until committee
from the Legislature shall lave counted
the votes and declared their names.
II appears that the liberation nomina
ton for council has succeeded bv a few
hundred majority over the federal ticket.
We hope this narrow escape will be of
service 10 republicaus-wkoa are a maio-
