Aspect Of the new Congress.


Elections in eight States have yet to be held,
some to fill the full delegation, and some to fill
vacancies. In the event of the political COM
plexion of the members about being elected
being precisely similar to that of those whose
terms have expired, the wings will have majo-
rity of only four, by no means good working
majority, where there so much political apos-
tacy and SO many political renegades. 1t is,
however, fair to suppose that the wings will
have larger majority, that they will gain some
thing in the elections about coming off and that
they will make better show on paper than they
now have but we have very little faith in the
orthodoxy of politicians in these degenerate
times, and, therefore, think that one party has
just about good chance as the other. The
more equally they are divided, the more fun we
shall have during the session, and the less
chance of anything of importance being done in
the way of business.
We have carefully corrected the new list Of
members of the Both Congress, and shall give it
tomorrow in perfect state as possible TO
make it.

will be an excess of coal, but on the contrary
