Congress, Al. Administration loss in seven-
teen States, 1872,
There are eighty-three members yet to be
elected. OF these, the South are to choose
seventy-four, and the North nine. This, of
course, renders certain an opposition majority
in the next House of Representatives.
In Texas the Indians still continue uncheck.
ed in their course of murder and pillage.--
The Government troops are unceasng in
their efforts to put an end to this dreadful
state of things, but without much success.
Five companies Of Rangers were mustered
into the service of the State of Texas Oh the
Sd Of November. The Governor has deter
mined to accept their services until he can
hear from General Smith, and send two of
the companies to the vicinity of Fort Worth,
and the other three TO the vicinity of Fred

There has been a National Know Nothing
Convention at Cincinnati The Herald. in
speaking of it, says General Sam. Q stol
Of Texas, will probably be selected as the fu-
ture standard bearer Of the Order. General
Houston is undoubtedly the foremost man
among their all. lie certainly possesses ele-
ments that peculiarly fit him for the post to
which he will in all probability be assigned
In his religious principles he is very decided
ly antagonistic to the hierarchy 30 which is
directed the vigorous opposition Of the order.
On the score of nativity he can certainly have
no superior, as he has been naturalized by
the aborigines themscves-he is equally ex
pert in the erection of Wigwams as in the

Millard Fillmore and John NJ Clayton are
also mentioned as being candidates for the

An Electioncering story.

During the exciting campaign betwe en-
Taylor and Cass, when party spirit was run
ming brimming high, a fellow, by the name
Of llasklns, took II very active part in in
iluencng the democracy of the village of
We, which is somewhere in the south
ern portion of the county of Tuscarawas, in
the state of Ohio, to vote, one and all, for
old Gen Cass.
There was something peculiar about II
Ungainly in form nose, that was "somen
once, but which had been broken (how
cannot say right on the bridge, which had
laid 1t flat at that spot: pair of red, ferrety
eyes aud "A voice--'twas no voice at all.
Through some affection of the throat, he had
lost the power fhs voice but not SO much,
but that he could speak, IN very loud wheez-
ing kind Of Il whisper-ks AIR. Creakle, Of
Salem House, in David Coppertield. OF
course he couldn't stump it-but, then, he
could ride around, an |, in that way, gain
some votes. The great question with all,
was, SLOW the deuce did he gain his popu-
Iarty" No one could tell. III. thought
he was SOME, anyhow-as he had been the
post master for nine years--and now, at the
time Of writing he keeps grocery.
H., one day-it was the Presidential cleo
tion day-mounted horse, and put off IN the
country" to scare up some more votes for
his side. When he had rod Z some few mirs
he was quite astoanded NJ seeing "a stur ~ Ola
farmer at work in his barn, thrashing rye
with a fail. Wei might II. be surprised
for old farmer Grimes was known to be one
of the most rabid Of Democrats, and had
never missed putting in his vote on election
day.
H. Jumped of his horse, and, rushing into
the barn, accosied G. in that indescribable
whisper, with--''lIcllo! old fclow---why
aint you in at the polls"
G----eyed IL. for u moment, and then
said almly-"Why you see, had to thrash
and couldn't leave it for any thing
even for to vote for Andy Jackson"

ed if you don't vote. If your thrashing must
be done, why, before I'll lose your vote, IN
take the Gail I'LL you come back. Every vote
counts now, you see Your vote may mako

"Wcl I'm agreed to that" said g.; and
mounting ll.'s horse, rode away towards The
town, leaving II. thrashing away like good
fellow.

Come Homo.
BY MARY X. CLARK.

Brother dear, why dost thou tarry
From thy home so long away;
Know'st thou not fond hearts are watch
ing.
Praying for thee every day2
When two years ayo you left us,
Withered leaves were falling fast
Thickly were the raindrops pouring,
Iloarsely wild the autumn blast.
Fathers face looked pale and solemn,
Mother coald not say goodby;
And my tears were falling faster
Than the raindrops from the sky,
Just two years; how many changes
Can in that short time be wrought
f-at we could learn to bear them
y hleekly, as a christian ought.
Brother. in our household circle
There is now one vacant chair;
Fathers gone, and O, how lonely
Seems our home when he's not there {.
When he lay upon his death bed,
OF he blessed his absent son;
Prayed that he in Heaven might meet
you,
When your earthly race was run.
Brother, dear, then hasten homeward,
Mothers heart is lonely now
Care and sorrow fast are tracing
Burrows on her placid brow.
Come {; and from us do not longer
In that distant country roam
We are very lone without thee
Brother, dear, come home, come home.

The BABY show

1t is but justice TO ourselves to announce
thai we are the fathers Of the entire baby
movement in the United States, and we can
not but feed a paternal regard for every baby
that assembled in Ohio at the Nator al Exhi-
biton. And now we crave our rights, in
the honor OF being the first to appreciate the
claims of babies, and the Importance OF stir
rng up rivalry in improving the race ofmen.
Our national hope lies rocking in the cradle
Liberty kicks and squalls in The nursery
Patriotism, in a bib bibuous, is tied into a
high chair. Progress creeps on all iours,
and crows like bantam. The bonds Of our
Union are diaper. The destines of a conti-
nent, neontinent of fluids, are wrapped up in
hcnnel. Wisdom in cuplds is cutting its Gus
pids, and the streams Of political salvation are
flowing from the sallyary glands. Give us
our credit, then, for starting the baby show,
and now let us be allowed to propose a show
of men at the National Capital. 1t would
certainly draw, for there has not been any
thing Of the kind there for years-at least
none Of any great nagnitude.-Sprngfeld

II oman Catholic Trouble mt Hartford, c on

ROman Catholic Trouble mt Hartford, Con
The Bishop of Hartford and his congrega-
ton are at enmty. On Saturday, Nov 18th,
serious contention took place at the cathe-
dral in that city, arising from the refusal Of
the Bishop to allow the remains of Father
Brady, the former pastor of the church, and
who at the timerof his death was under sus-
pension, to be buried in the churchyard. The
Bishop and his assistants used their almost
exertious to prevent the funeral ceremonies,
but the people persisted and ultimately car
ried their point,
Father Brady was held in high esteem by
the community in which he lived.

Special Messenger for Cram, Rogers & Co.,
placed in our hands full files of papers, with
dates from New York up to Nov. GOTH
They contain but three days later news from
Europe Little has transpired at the seat of
war since our previous dates.
The Isthmus is exceeding healthy the dry
season has fairly set in, and the roads are in
good order, many passengers crossing from
ocean to ocean in six and eight hours. The
railroad is progressing rapidly, and it is con-
fidently expected the cars will commence
running through in the early part of April.
The company's agents in Panama have re-
ceved instructions to coal their steamers
through, on account of notification lately re-
ceved from the Mexican Government that
strict blockade would be kept up at Acapul-
co.
tlSdi SANtbShSbb Pi SNbiiNu tih hOut Az
apulco in consequence Of news lately receiv-
cd that about five thousand of Santa Annals
troops were on their march. there, and were
then only fifty miles off.
General Alvarez and command were bus-
ly employed in erecting Notifications on the
surrounding Hills, and making every prepar-
alton to give them a warm reception, with
every confidence Of being able to keep posses
sion of the town. The opinion, however, of
the foreign residents is quite the reverse.
Russian dispatches state that the allies had
suffered two several defeats The French
had had their works stormed, and sixteen
guns spiked aud the English cavalry had
h>en attacked at Balaklava, and routed, with
loss of 500 horses. British and French
statements offer no explicit denial Of these re-
ports. They merely say that the Russian
story is " improbable and exagg rated. -
Complaints are made that the allied govern
mtnts do not publish reliable information and
very unlavorabIe inferences are drawn from
their silence.
From the contradictory statements suffi-
cent truth may be elected to come to the
conclusion that Sebastopol still held out on
the 9th that the bonabardment was contin-
ued vigorously by the allies, whilst the garr-
son still offered the most determined resist
ance.
In fact the allies do not find the taking Of
Sebastopol so easy Of accomplishment as they
had anticipated We are almost inclined to
the opinion that it never will be accomplish
ed.
Tho French Government has receded from
the position il had taken in regard to Mr..
Soule, and has withdrawn its prohbi ton
against that gentleman's passing through
France, and has invited him to take that
Youte on his way to Madrid.
The non taking of Sebastopol ! as, per-
haps, had something TO do with this retrae
ton.
The conduct of our Minister to France, MIR
Mason, in this matter is highly spoken of.

ticulays in regard to IT, election in the diff
