THE ELECTIONS OF ISL.

During the last year, fourteen States c.
lected their Representatives in the 9th
Congress, numbering in all 144. OF thi.
number elected, 81 are friends to the Ad.
minis,ration of General Harrison, and 60
are supposed to be opposed to that Admin.
islration.
During the present year, and before tic
meeting of the next Congress, elections
for Representatives in that body will be
held in ~ of the States. These twelve
States are represented by 95 members, Of
whom, in the present Congress, As are
friendly to the new Administration, 4s op-
posed, and uncertain.
This result it is desirable to obtain, nav
il is of paramount importance that Con
gress should, by It's composition and action,
respond fully to the opinlonsand wishes of
the people, so freely aud decidedly express
ed in the late Presidential election. Else
we SHALL have obtained barren victory.
The following is a table Of the States which
are to elect Representatives, with the num-
Der TO which they are entitled, and the or
binary periods Of holding the elections:

DEATH OF JUDGE BARBOUR.

The whole City was shocked, Yesterday
morning, BY the information of the sudden
demise Of the Hon. Philip P. Barbour, of
Virginia, one Of the Associate Justices Of
The Supreme Court. He was in usual
health, ard even more than usually cheer
fol at the time of retiring to bed at 10
O'Clock on Wednesday night, and the next
morning was found in his bed lifeless
corpse
Judge Barbour entered Congress, in the
House Of Representatives, in the year 1914,
and soon sigaalizcd himself by considera-
bic ability in debate. He remained in Con-
gress for a number of years, during part
of which time he filled the honorable office
Of Speaker of the House. Since retiring
from Congress, his life has been devoted
with great assiduity TO the Judicial duties
which he had been called to Perform

THE UNITED STATES AND GREAT
nRTTAJN

We earnestly congratulate our readers
on the information, concerning the rela-
tions between the United States aud Great
Britain, which they will find exactly sta
ted in the report of yesterdays Senate
Proceedings. Considering the rumors that
have been in circulation, nothing could
be more interesting to the whole country
at the present moment than these dsclo-
sures in the Senate, Unless perhaps il be
the chart Of the principles of tho new
Administration which may be expected IN
the Inaugural Address of the President
Elect.
We learn from the statement Of Mr..
Buchanan that, in regard to the Boundary
Question, the Governments of Great Bri-
tain and the United States have agreed
upon the main points of Convention far
The final adjustment IF that question; aud
that, in the opinion of the Executive, there
IS every reason to look with eatire conf
dence 10 prompt and satisfactory lerDin
etlon Of the long negotiation upon tbs
question.
We learn, further, with great pleasure,
llal there y 40 IuunddtlOn Tor the lun3Of
that an angry correspondence has recently
taken place between Mr.. Fox and Alr.
Forsyth, or any correspondence, the char
acter of which would justify a call for lis
publicity.
The remarks Of Mr.. CLAY, whose WIS
dom and experience in our Foreign Rcla.
items stamp every thing he says on that
subec; with more than common impress,
are no less important than acceptable
Happy must it be accounted that upon this
very interesting and important matter the
leaders Of the party coming into power
and Of that which is about retiring enter
tain opinions upon it between which there
is hardly discernble shade Of difference.
The statement of the Chairman Of the
Senate's Committee on Foreign Relations,
the reader cannot fail to perceive, has all
the effect of coInterblast to the martial
appeal made the other day by the distin-
guished Chairman of the Committee on
Foreign Relations in the other House.
The effect mari; We do not say the IN
'entioa, as we are not in the counsels OF
the honorable Seuator from Pennsylvania
or Of the Administration whose confidence
