In the States Of Texas, Kentucky,
Tennessee, North Carolina, and Ala
bama, congressional elections were held
last week, and, although full and COM
plete returns have not been received we
believe that the actual result will verify
the correctness Of the figures as given
above. Surprising no changes occur
ring in the remaining four States, where
elections are to be held, the next House
of Representatives will stand as follows:
D EN-. Rep. KIN. Vac $.

Louisiana ,as they stood
in last Congress IS
Total I25 81 I6 2
The House Of Representatives con-
sists Of 23l members lis members
consisting Of a majority. As the case
now stands, allowing no change in the
four States where elections are to be
held) the democrats will have a major
ity Of sirtsen in the next House. This
minority we think will be increased to
eighteen, as the two vacancies in the
Pennsylvania and Indiana delegations
will, in all probability, be filled by dem
ocrats.
HONOR TO WHOM HONOR is DUE.
We clip the following from the Ro-
chester Democrat, published in Olmsted
county, IN this Territory. It is a just
tribute to one Of the most talented, hon
est, honorable and high minded men in
this Territory man who has been
pursued bv the Black Republican and
Know-Nothing party, with a most bitter
hatred:
Ex-GovERNoR GoRMAs The ma
levolence with which the Black Repub-
lican press Of the Territory pursues
this gentleman, is only equalled by the
malicious falshoods which they circulate
upon the Democratic party generally. 49,
BY the all decency, all intelligence,
morality party, it seems to be esteemed
most heinous crime to be Democrat,
and Immediately upon the advent into
politics Of man holding adverse views
to their own fanatical notions. gener-
al howl is set up. against him" Tray
Blanche, and Sweetheart, the little dogs
and all" baying their canine denounci-
atoms il q style which, if not sluttish is
most indecent and nngentlemanly.
We have seldom, in all our political
experience, read SO many violent, and
to say the best oft, offensive articles,
about any man occupying the position Of
Ex-Gov. German, as we have perused
about that gentleman 10 the Republican
papers Of this Territory, during the past
six weeks. These articles, TOO, are
characterized, not by argument Of fair
dealing, but by low, coarse, vulgarity
and abuse, which would bring the
stinge of shame to the cheeks Of a Lon
don fish woman--a species Of charlatan-
icy as despicable as it Is uncalied for. ~
What, we would ask, is Ex-G Governor
Gorman's crime He is Democrat
The knowledge Of this fact is sufficien,
OR the e. bowling deryishes Of Black
Repnblicanism who vent their. spleen
only for the reason that their intolerant
Ivindictiveness must have vent, aud not
from any honest desire for the public
good.
The ISLANDERS and calumnies heaped
upon Ek-Goy German. will only react
in his favor. He may have his faults
