COMING ELECTIONS.

The next election from which we shall
have returns, took place in the State of
kentucky on Monday, ana continued three
days. The election is one specially called
by the Governor, and consequently is for
members Of Congress only. Thirteen are
to be elected. They now stand IL Wings
to 2 Loco-focos. We shall hardly do any
better than this, and possibly not SO well,
owing TO the division ofthe Wings in sew
eral of the districts.
The next election is in Indiana next Mon
day, Seven members to be chosen, who
now stand three Democratic Wings TO four
Locofocos. We shall probably sweep the
board, and at least make up for all losses
in Kentucky.
The electisnin Tennessee takes place on
the 9th ofnext month. Thirteen members
Of Congress to be chosen. They now stand
7 to in favor of the Administration. We
shall certainly gain one, and possibly three.
The election in North Carolina is on the
18th Of May, and that in Maryland on the
18th. Illinois holds no special election, and
tine one in Alabama has not yet been ap.
pointed by the Legislature. In Mississippi
we do not learn that any steps will be Ia
ken to provide for the Extra ScssionsBos

agitating subject should ever be observed, 1t Is at
the present juncture, when all the interests oil the
country are PROSTATE in the dust; and when the
farmer, the merchant and the manufacturer are

ton OF Congress as their only source of relief
from the ruin which pursues them.

In consequence of the insincerity and
Hardness displayed by the Imperial Com

of the Bogue forts. In two hours the fort
was in possession ofthe English, with loss
of only three killed and 90 wounded; that
of the Chinese is estimated at from 500 to
700. This attack was followed by others,
and on the goth of January, circular was
by the British Plenipotentiary to
her Malesiy's objects in China, announcing
that preliminary arrangements between the
Imperial Commissioner and himself had
been made to the following effect.

LETTER FROM Hon. WIZ. SLADE.

/ observe in your paper the Oath,
which has just reached me, 4 communlca-
ton from Jesse Stedman, urging the SEN
ding OF petitions TO Congress, at the Extra
Session, PRAYING for the resembling of the
infamous 2lst rule" of the. House of Rep
rescnta,ives.
If petitions are TO be forwarded they
should not pray for the resembling OF the
rule, as it is not now in existence. The
rules of the last Congress, expired with that
congress. None of them will have any
force or effect until revived by the ac-
ton of the next House of Representatives.
The petitions should therefore ask that no
such rule be again adopted.
take this occasion to say that l do not
deem it of any Importance that petitions
such as have suggested, should be pre-
sented at the Extra Session Ii is desirable
that that session should be as short as posi-
ble-that it should be confined to the leg
islaIion rendered indispensably necessary
by the financial condition Of the country.
That will spread itself sufficiently to cover
all the time that the Representatives will
be willing to spend, or their constituents
will be willing TO have them spend in an
Extra Session. presume that no Repre-
sentative will think of presenting, at that
session, any such petitions as were in con-
temptation when the 2lst rule Of the late
House was ad~p'el and that in adopting
the late rules, sthe Extra Session, the 2lst
rule will. by common consent, be dropped.
l do not say that there will be no attempt
to adopt it. at the next regular session in
December; but its friends, ! am sure, will
not think of pressing it at the Extra Session
knowing as they must, that IFS discussion
will occupy time which the urgent neces-
sites of the country demand should be
otherwise appropriated; and feeling assu-
red that no necessity for ii will exist,at thai
session to keep out abolition Petitions
At the Extra Session in September 1887
these petitions were withholden from
presentation by common consent; and so,
/ presume. they will be at the Extra Ses-
sion which is approaching.
No man can hold "the 2lst rule to be
more infamous" than do; but l do not
think that any thing will be gained by SEN
ding petitions against its re'adoption at the
Extra Session. Let IFS opponents reserve
their strength for the regular session in
December, when, If ever, an attempt may
be made 10 revive it.
| Your obedient servant.
