ELECTION BY THE HOUSE

The recent reverses which the Locoit.cc party
have met with, cause the Richmond Enquirer to
begin to speculate upon probable results, in case
the election of the next President should be carried
into the House of Representatives 1t says the loss
of a majority of the delegation in Pennsylvania,
Ohio and Florida, (and it might safely add North
Carolina, and perhaps New York } and the tie in
the Georgia delegation neutralizng the vote of that
State, make it possible that while the Democrats
may retain majority of the members in the next
Congress, the Wings may have a majority bu
States, and thereby hold the election of President
in their hands.-lt therefore thinks it "worsc than
folly in the Democratic party to run more than one
candidate, and throw the election into Congress- :"
This is certainly well considered and the sugges-
ton is made, not without some reason, as to pro
liabilities MIR. CALHOUN will hardly consent to
have his claims postponed again, nor indeed can he
be asked to do so with any proprety, now that the
party have adopted his Free Trade principles.
But the Northern Democracy will require pro-
fessedly Tariff man at least-so that split among
them is inevitable. We hope, however, that the
Wings will be able to do the thing SO handsomely
at the polls, that there will be no necessity for
troubling the House with the election.

PROCEEDINGS AT SANTA FEE.

We find the annexed extraordinary article in the
New York Express, and although the statement
which 1t contains is very circumstantial there must
we think, be some material error in it, General
kEARNEY1s first proclamation and all his proceed
ngS at Santa Fe were doubtless prescribed to him
by the instructions Of his Government He is an
officer too discreet and experienced to have ventur
ed upon so remote and responsible an expedition
without full instructions for all probable contingent
cles but, much Of his transactions exceed
ed all constitutional authority doubt if the Ex-
ecutve could have gone the length of ordering a
Delegate to be elected to Congress from the pro-
vince OF New Mexico, without any previous action
or sanction whatever on the part of that body. We
must therefore regard the reported election of De
legate to Congress and members of Territorial
Legislature as fabulous, although, from the respec-
liability OF the journals which give countenance to
the statement we place it before our readers:

INTERNAL IMPROVEMENT CONVENTION
>ST ~ 81 T@Ns@

The Convention of Counties interested in the ex-
tension of the Louisa Rail Road, &c., which as
sembled here Friday last, was quite as well at
tended as we had any reason to expect, from the
shortness of the notice. Delegates were present
from Abemarle, Augusta, Bath, Hanover, Louisa,
Rockbridge, and the City of Richmond, and Green
bricr was represented by proxy. The proceedings,
which are given at large in this paper, 1--WE are gra
tilted to say, were conducted in great harmony and
we anticipate from them the happiest results.
We observe that our neighbors Of Rockingham,
who, from their talk at time, we fully expected
to be represented in the Convention, arc about to
change their tactics, and fight on their own hook.
"A meeting is called, in the last Register, to be
held at their November Court SO take proper steps
Gas they ssy,) to satisfy the State that thcy.w was
the road that they entitled the road and that
they are willing to do whatever becomes them to
secure the road.' Our neighbors seem to forget
that the object now sought to be attained in the ex
tension of the Louisa Rail Road is no longer the
merely local one of reaching the Valley at some
convenient point, but that it is to establish great
thoroughfare by ultimately carrying it to the Ohio
Their argument of ''shortness of route'' to the
palley, therefore, they will see is of no force and

position they claimed us in the former one J

distressing casualty Mr.. Tuman Deadman, OF
Davie county, had his house struck by lightning,
which instantly killed his wife, and set fire to his

two children of four and two years old in the house,
and negro woman; the fluid which killed Mrs
Deadman, struck, and severely hurt the negro.

would have operated simultaneously to reduce the
duties in proportion Upon that principle the sliding
scale was establish. England imported wheat
largely in 1889 when her crops were short and
the duties on grain fell But she drew her sup
plies then from the Baltic countries where the CROPS
were abundant At present she finds il most con-
venient to draw supplies from the United States
because the prices OF grain are high the Cont

have much effect upon the present expectation OF

With regard to the value of the foreign market
for produce, if the present year be taken as
the standard by which to Judge oft, the existence
OF scarcity more less extensive in the British
dominions and on the Continent of Europe must be
also taken into the account thing of annual oc-
curnnce. 1t is known, however, that such an
event is rather accidental than periodical
appears, however, that with all the increase of
expectations to England the aggregate increase in
the quantity Of wheat, -four and Indian corn brought
to tide water in New York within the last nine
months, the quantity brought for the same pc
Rod last year, exceeds the aggregate increase in the
expectation Of those articles to Liverpool for cores
ponding periods. The New York Express gives
tables showing the statistics on this point 'After
all the GLAMOUR" it adds, ''the whole purchases for
Liverpool, for period ftime including t,co fmines
in England, as we have been told, from the ,rholc
United States, do equal the increase Of receipts

I've foreign market is to be awaited Of whenever

shows conclusively enough that nothing but a par

Europe, can create any considerable demand for
the agricultural produce of the United States. AT

consumers of our produce in own land, which
would build up furnishing towns and villages filled
with thriving population dependent on the farmer
the policy, in short, which would encourage
manufacturing and mechanical industry and place
the population so employed side by side with the
farmer; that is the policy which must make us a
substantial, great. an Independent people. If TO-
reign nations fall into scarcity we can supply them
but let such occurrences be regarded in their true
light, as incidents, which may fall well enough in
with our general policy, but which should not be
allowed to change it.-Baltimore .4nerican

THE Observation-Disclosures OF THE WINGS

The reaction produced by the mistaken policy Of
the Administration, (remarks the Baltimore Ameri-
CAM is too decided to be left a matter of which
there can be any doubt, and too general to be as
scrbed to merely local causes The strongliolds of
the party are giving way in all directions. New
Hampshire fell; Maine faltered and now Penn
syvania has marched forth, without equivocation,
under Wing banncrs.-North Carolina, Kentucky,
Maryland, and Ohio, show that the Wings have
lost nothing on their own ground while making
such triumphant advances into the territory OF their
adversares. On the contrary, we grow astf6nger
in our own places of strength.
The truth is that Wing principles and Wing
measures are essential to the welfare and prosperity
Of the Country, and any wide departure from them
cannot be made without producing state of de-
preston and suffering among the people, which
must work a change in the administration of the
Government.
