The House of Representatives consists
OF 234 members-l18 members eonstitu-
ting majority. 1t will be seen from the
above table that the Democrats have a
clear majority OF twenty-five over the
combined vote of the Black Republicans
and Know.Nothings. This majority will
be increased TO twenty-five at an early
period Of the session by the admission of
the three Democratic members from the
new State of Minnesota. 1t may be ad-
ded as most significant fact that six Of
the seven Territories of the United States
will be represented in the next Congress
by Democratic delegates.

REroRM IL MONETARY Matters. = The
Washington correspondent of the Balti-
more Sun has the following in regard to
q reform in monetary matters. The nears
Ter We comesto metallic currency, the
less danger there is Of fluctuations in
commercial reyulsions. The financial
distress is not as great as it was in 1887,
when the country was flooded with small
notes. and there can be no doubt that q
further restriction would be still more
benefcial: s1 '1s-
1 learn that asmoyement is about to be
commenced by democratic organization
IN regard to a reform OF the currency and
proper regulations of the local banks. The
democratic clubs in New York will take
up the subject prior to the approaching
election and make it one of their issues.
The plan to be proposed for the modi-
ication oftthe banking system is the adop-
ton by the States of the Independent trea-
suries, after the example sof the govern
ment ; and the prohibition of the issue
by the local banks ofnotes under the de-
nomination of ten dollars. The two mea-
sures combined would greatly widen the
basis of the metallic currency and tend to
check imprudent expansions ofthe banks.
If the State of New York would adopt
these improvements, the example would
soon be followed by other States.
The general government might afford
some aid to the measure by imposing
an excise upon all bank notes ola denom-
ination under ten dollars. The State Lee
gislatures may also do much to obtain a
Sound currency by requiring, as in New
York. a deposit by the banks of good
stocks to secure the redemption Of their
issues. After all, the country would not
be free from the. hazard of mischevious
fluctuations in the amount of currency,
nor could the thirst for excessive specula-
tons be extinguished. But our revulsions
under such system, would be less fire.

stating the qualify of land he is entitled

be obtained by paying the REQUISITE
amount without the buyer knowing the

is probable from the paragraph taken
from the Salem Gazette that these war.

Northern individuals at ST. per acre, al.
