GALVESTON, July 27, 1871.
Below We have the pleasure TO hand you a state
ment Of the exports, SC, Of our city, from February

to which we beg leave call your attention, remark
Ing only, by way Of explanation for the limited
Of exports that the cotton crop Of the State
for 'l6-7 was almost entire failure, and that the
cultivation Of sugar, having but recently commenced,
not sufficient for the consumption of the State;
but this time cotton crop Is Of the most promis

tnue viii exceed 100000 bales. We estimate the
sugar crop 600 TO $500 hogshcads and many csfi
mate it as high as 55D). In fact the whole exports
Of our State rapidly increasing and business is
assuming a stable character.

The Approaching Eiectio"s-Aspect OF thu
Next Congress.


The politicians, large and small, Throughout,
the country, have been specializing for months
past upon the probable complexion of the mex,
House of Representatives of the United States
The Union has.labored very assiduously in this re.
spect, and has proven to its own satisfaction at all
events, that the House will be democratic beyond
the possibility Of doubt. The cry has been taken
up by the democratic editors, and the figures
which the Union based it's conclusions upon, to.
g'ther with the organs remarks, have been copied
into every democratic paper from Matamoras to
Maine.
These calculations looked very we'll on
paper, and if the matter rested with the Union
the democratic party would unquestionably
have very handsome majority in that branch Of
Congress-; but unfortunately for the Union and
ATS party, the people are the ultimate judges il.
such Case, and their decision may seriously
change the result of the calculations made. In
deed it has done so in three or four instances
Several States which the Union set down as GER
tain of electing democrats, have acted the other
way exactly; and have returned so md wings
Notwithstanding this slight error Of calculation,
and we are all liable to make mistakes, the
Union holds on to the result, and stoutly insists,
with perinacity truly characteristic that it was
right in the main, and although the wings have
succeeded in States which it put down as demo-
cratic, yet its party will have majority.
The wings on the other hand have all along
denied these calculations, and laughed at the or
ganic figures. They rely with confidence that
their party will be in the ascendant, and point
with derision to the mistakes that he committed.
While the leaders and editors of the two parties
are deciding the question in their own way. the
people are about to take the matter out of their
hands, and settle it beyond doubt or bubble.
The fall elections will commence Immediately
