The next Congress.

Representatives in the next Congress yet to be
chosen in Rhode Island, Connecticut Maryland Virginia,
North Carolina, Alabama, Mississippi, louisiana Ken
lucky, Tennessee, and Indiana Eighteen States have
already held their elections The number of representa-
tves elected u.s. we believe 1875 OF these 62 Demo
Gratis and 76 Federalists of the members al
ready elected, Federal majority of H. There is good
to believe that the two districts in New Hamp
shire, which have failed to elect at the first trial, will at
the next effort return Democratic MEMBERS the Demo
cratic candidates lead their competitors by several hun
dred votes in both those districts In this CASE the Fed
cra majority Of the members already elected will be
duced to twelve In Name there are four vacancies
and in Ohio, the death of General Hamer in Mexico
makes one vacancy There has been one vacancy from
New Hampshire during the whole OF the last Congress
OF the members yet to be elected the Democrats had
in the last Congress sixty members, and the Fedests
twenty -nne being Democratic majority of thirty zone
Surprising the two districts of New Hampshire to cleo,
Democrats, and deducng from this Democratic majority
of thirty one the above Federal majority of twelve there
will remain, if further changes occur, Democratic
majority in the next House of nineteen. But in North
Carolina, where the delegation stands six Democrats
three Fedealiss the Federal legislature has altered
the districts and so heaped up the Democratic votes into
few districts that they expect TO gain three members
This will still leave Democratic majority in the House
of thirteen We trust, however, that this loss in North
Carolina if accrue, may be partially compensated by
Democratic gain in Connecticut where the present dele
CATION are all Fedeass and all candidates for re-eec-
ton.
Upon the whole, it appears highly probable that the
political complexion of the next Congress must be deci-
ded by the election which is to take place in Virgil
MA better battle-ground could not be chosen. The
Democracy of the whole country looks now, hereto
FORE with unabated confidence and hope to the time hon
ored energy and patriotism of the Old Dominion. The
moral effect of a Democratic triumph in Virginia, will be
felt with irresistible influence throughout the Union.

A BAND OF ROBBERS. In the course OF a

witness, who had turned States evidence,
aycrred tho existence of band Of robbers,

headquarters are at Pittsburg, in this State.
AT Lawrenceburg, Indiana, he stated they had
another resort, as also one at Eaton. They
call themselves the Royal Band" or " Bos-
ton Sons" The Eaton Democrat says:-
This gang had laid their plans for burning
the houses, and other property of our citizens
and of robbing; even numbering some business
men in our town. We state what was given
in evidence, and which has not been denied
By any evidence whatever The testimony
left several persons implicated in these trans
actions. Some of them have left the place !;
those who remain have it in their power to
show, by their conduct and actions, that these
charges are without foundation, or that entire
reformation has done its work"
The above story reminds us oftho account
given by Green, the reformed gambler, oGsuch
bands, in his " Secret Band of Brothers,
