STRONG REPUBLICAN CONGRESSIONAL Dis
zR1crs I'm the second district of this state. Mr..
Butinton is reelected by vote of 1859 and
majority of 5000. In No. Timothy Davis has
plurality of 6S76. The ninth district has given
a larger aggregate vote than any other district IN
the state, it being 1862 or 1874 more than that
of the Berkshire district. which stands next. Had
the Fremonters been united upon the same can
didate, in the Worcester district, his majority
would have exceeded Mr.. Bufiinton's, for the uni
ted vote of Thayer $3.50 and Dewitt (4359) is

ing any republican member, or indeed any with
out regard to party, must be that given to E. B.
Washburne, in one of the northern Illinois dis
tricts. It ranges from IL 900 to 10000, and is
something not only for the man but the whole
North to be proud Of.
These figures suggest how uneven the congress
sional districts have grown since the census and
apportionment OF 1850. There will be important
changes under the new census and apportion-
ment Jour years hence. Massachusetts will GER
taipy lose one il not two members of Congress;
Maine would seem from her vote this fall to be
likely to hold her own but the new states of the
West. and particularly Illinois and Iowa will gain
in great proportion, nearly il not quite doubling
their present congressional strength. The loss of
congressional and political power by the South
will then be fatal to its hopes of longer predomi
napee, unless it can carry out its schemes for new
slave states me antime.

The LYoNNAlsE DIsAsTER. Capt. Durham
of the barque Adrlatic, by collision with
which the steamer Lyonnaise was wrecked,
says that he saw the steamer for twenty min
utes before the collision, that she was on a
course that would have carried her by the
stern of the barque, but the steamer suddenly
changed her course so as to render a collision
inevitable. He attempted to avoid by lacking,
but it was too late. After the collision he
hailed the steamer, but received no answer,
and supposed that she had received but little
damage, and had kept on her course. Capt.
Durham disagrees with the mate of the Lyon
nase about the weather, saying that it was
starlight with only slight haze the mate Of
the Lyonnaise reports 1t foggy and very dark.
Capt. Durham has been blamed for not pub.
fishing the facts before, but he states that he
communicated them at once to the custom
house and reading room at Gloucester, and
TO his owners.

THE AMERICAN PARTY-Ihe know moth
ings are dead, at least for the present Their
own folly, Erastns Brooks, and the fitness of
things have laid them in their grave, Let us
look back moment at theiI history.
Thirteen years ago, when the folly of the
democratic politicians in appealing to the Irish
as class and clan, in hattering their worst
qualities and giving them a share Of the gov
ernment spoil, had created good deal of jeal
ously against toreigneTs, certain anti foreign
organizations were formed i'll several of the
cities, and during the interval between the
presidential contest oil 1910 and 1914, these
organizations carried certain elections in sew
eral of the cities. The presidential contest of
1874 apparently swept them away, ihough
the skeleton organizations subsisted. In 1858,
alter the distribution Of Gen. Pierce's patron
age, there were il the country the broken ell
ements of political party adrilt for want of
name, platform, and purpose. these ell
ements were the remains OF the defunct wing

seekers, disappointed by their exclusion from
the general division of the spoils. These ele-
ments, tossing about, in search of an ann and
a CENTER finally aggregated around the old
nucleus OF nativisn, which was the only or
ganizatlon then in the field besides the demo-
crazy. Through vatious causes disgust at
democratic corruption, the lawlessness of GER
tain Irish and other agencies--this organza-
ton, now numerous party, carried various
town and state elections. Elate with hope
they promised themselves, in 1866, to elect
the president in 1856.
But IN the meanwhile a new organization

dice or small antpathy of race or creed,

ings, the republican party bore away from
them the best and the stoutest Of their rank
and file. While the unconscious natives
were thus losing their bone and sinew, they
committed the deadly fault of entrusting the
direction of their party affairs to old broken

is very simple. In a few years the accidents

be remembered as an organization which was

REMINIscENT.-A correspondent, abiding
TO the inquiry made in g report in this morn
ing's paper, Where is Bunillville :" says
that when the Merchants Exchange, in Dew

men employed in finishing 1t were paid off in
bills of the Burrillvile Bank, which failed in
forty. eight hours afterwards. The bills, there
fore useless; aud the feeling among those
who had received them was such as to in

them to fire the Exchange, which was burned
down, There was no want of knowledge
then, says our correspondent, as to where

The above is incorrect in several PARTICULARS
When the Exchange Coffee House on Devon
shire Street. in Boston, was built, some fifty
years since, it was done chiefly by loans obtained
at the Farmers Exchange Bank at Chepachet,
a village in Gloucester, the town adjoining Bur-
rllvie. The proprietor procured loans at that
bank from time to time, to the amount of two or
three times its whole capital, giving his notes for
the same, which never were paid. Of course, the
bank failed, but we presume there but

who were engaged in the building They we're
scattered very generally throughout New Eng
land and New York, and there were few men
who had moLey on hand at the time OF the fail
ure.who had not some of those bills. News did
not travel with the same rapidly then that it
does now, and many frauds were committed, even
for months afterwards, by passing off those bills
in retired and remote places where people were
not informed of the failure.
