The New York Elccfion-Tlle
Next House OF Representatives

Despite all the shouting of the Fus-
%ionists, it is by no means certain that
the next House of Representatives will
not have a Democratic majority. The
New York Express, an American organ,
in an article upon this subject, says:
Tn consequence of this higher law,
as things are going on we shall lose two
thirds of the Congressional District, and
the mex Congress will be Democratic"
We would advise the opposition not
to crow too much about the next Con-
gress before they are out of the woods.
From the above it would seem to indi
cate that our chances were good for Il
majority in the next House.

Dled-ln this city, at the residence of her brother, Dr. Brugman, on the morning of the 27th ult., of typhoid fever, after short illness Miss JULIA RICHARDSON, a native of North Carolina, in the sixteenth year of her age.
 Not long ago, she came among us an inter- esting stranger, in whom were blended the graces of tender youth and ripeniug woman- hood. Thus she stood, as it were between two worlds. On the one hand was the cherished past with loving memories of distant lands.- On the other appeared the opening future, glowing with promises of happy hopes. Little thought she, that these were but clouds and gllded by the setting sun.
 The friends to whom her sweet and gentle nature had endeared her, as they marked the bright morning of her life, dreamed not alas, It's evening was so near. But her pure spirit. in the abodes of the blessed, even now. has en. tered upon the glories of an endless day: the mortal form it left
 Lay it in the earth-
 And from her fair and unpolluted flesh May vlolets spring." IT.

Geo. w. Beazley, judge of our court, and that we believe he possesses in high degree, learning, dignity, courtesy and candor, attributes which should characterize the man who holds in his hands in measure, the life, liberty, and property of every citizen.
 We would, also, at this time and in this man. ner, express our appreciation of the conduct of our prosecuting attorney, s. w.

A SCRAP OF HIsToRY.-Ip that snir;. wb;ol prompts us to do justice to all men, we sit dowr to notice the versatile genius and vast fund o general information possessed by the editor o the Gazette.
 One week he gives us prophecies and warn. ings as mystical and terrible as those of the prophet Jeremah-in another, he emulates the dweller on Patmos, and has visions of a nolit- ical New Jerusalem.
 At one time he gives his readers newly as- ceriained fact in natural history, and last week he astounds the world by the result of his anti quaran researches in the history of our country. He says:
 "When the American Continent was first settled the divine right of Kings to govern was held. The people were monarchists; but sec Ing the oppression and the corruption of monar- chles, our lore fathers estabshtd an American party, which denied the divine right of Kings, and asserted the right of the people to govern themselves This party opposed by the old, rotten, and crorupt, tory party.'
 Somebody will have the goodness to inform MT. Bancroft, Prescott, Irving, or other great historian, of this. Doubtless if the discovery was announced to the antiquarian society," they would elect the discoverer an honorary mem Der thereof, and send him leather medal.
 We hope that we may be permitted to ask the great discoverer question: We had bought that the puritans were opposed to the - divine right of Kings" that the Dutch who settled New York were ofishoots of a republc and that it was hatred of tyranny and oppo- siton to kingcralt that drove our forefathers from the old world to the new. But. let that |ass. The question We wish to ask is ths:- Did Lafayette and DeGranmont Koskiusco and Pulaski, Steuben and the other patriotic foreigners who aided in achieving the inde- .pendence of the country, did they belong to yhs American party? We pause for reply.
 We diffidently venture to suggest that the learned editor is at fault in one of his historical points. He asserts that MT. Buchanan was a federalist, but omits to state that in 1813-14 MT. Buchanan then only twenty-two years of age made speech in favor of the war which the feceralists opposed, and was actually the first to enrol his name as volunteer, from the town of Lancaster.

TROUBLE IN THE BAPTIST CHURcH.-Tbe trial of Rev, R. Graves, of the Baptist church, and editor of the Baptist paper at Nashville, commenced there on the 18th inst. He was charged by Rev. Dr. Howell, also of the Bap- list church in tt at city, with publishing slan- derous articles concerning him, publishing knowingly what he knew to be untrue, etc. Mr. Graves demanded full investigation but objected to the method in which the examina- ton then attempted was carried on. The ma. jority insisted in carrying it on, and found Mir. Graves guilty of the first charge against him. MT. Graves and his friends are going to found a new church. The affair created an intense excitement
