rHR NEW CONGRE -.

hand, mpels Us to take burned glance al us com
position. Here are some OF the facts which strike
"a at glance over the list Of its MEMBER;
In the Senate. there viii BE- several Members
new 10 Congress, and not generally known outside
of their several States. They are Messrs Anthony
Off. l.. Grimes of Iowa, salisbury Of Del, Powell
Of Ky.. Ten Eyck of n. j. Hemphill Of Texas
Vacancies exist in the delegations FROM California
Judge Hams appointment Is merely temporary
TIL the Legislature meets), Minnesota, Oregon ana
Texas. some of which viii probably also be filled
with new men. Mr. Grimes has been Governor oil
Iowa. a. Mr.. Powell has Of of Kentucky, sud each
ia reputed an efficient eanvasser The othes' are
not widely known as public speakers.
OF the sixty.two Senator'S, fifteen have been
Governors of their respective States, w.:
Benz. Fitzpatrick, Ala James W. onme-' io~-
Lsfsy.,te s. Foser Coaa- Hannibal HaHltn' Me.
John J. Crit:eudeu, ky. hfnsley = ninsns'n, ''"@
Lszsrus W. Powell, KY Ao>u ", Df0~n, 81
William X. Seward, " T. Ihon1@s Drag ~ "
William Biger Pa Joseph Lane oiesoI
I,rn., II Hammond s. c. Henry B. Anthony, X
Andrew johnson, Tenn
Beside these. Mcssrs. Chandler Of Mich, JEFF.
Davis of Miss., and 1--WE think) Alfred lverson OF
Ga. have respectively been candidates for Governor,
but were not successful Mn. Bright OF Ind was
Lieut.. Governor Of that State.
The Democratic party, so called, viii have
clear majority of - in the Senate, which the filing
of existing vacancies will probably increase TO a.
The vacancies being filed the Republicans will
have Is Senator'S which is largely in excess OF their
number in any former Senate.
The new House consists (beside delegates from
Territories) Of 237 Members, whereof ll5-not
ouite balf-were Members of the last House. The
Admission of Kansas-wlich We trust cannot be
long delay ed-will add another to the new Mem
hers. OF those elassed "a new Members, several
were Members Of former Congresses though not OF
the last. Thaddeus Stevens Of Penna. and Thomas
Corwin Of Ohio are eminent examples Of this class
Emerson Etheredge of Tenn. William Millward of
Pa. George Briggs of n. Y, Thomas ID. Eliot Of
Mars, James ii. Campbell of Pa, and John A.
McClernand of H., belong to this hst.
The 90 father of the House"-that is, the Member
who IN, been longest consecutvely elected-is, we
believe. Williamson X. w. Cobb Of Ala, though
Mr.. Corrin OF Ohio in the House somo ycors
earlier than he. Mr.. Corwin, if we mistake not,
has not been Member Of that branch since lS40,
though he has meantime served several years 10 the
Senate. Messrs. Giddngs of Ohio and Stephens of
Ga. who had severally served twenty years or
,bereabout went out with the last Congress.
There will be less confusion Of names in the next
Congress than IN many OF It's recent predecessors;
the eminent and honorable family of Smith having
but single representative-GOv William ' Extra
Billy'O of Virginia OF Brouns, there are bat
two-Senator Albert G. from Mississippi, and q
new Member John ~ from Kentucky. The
Darises have pretty fair OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
Jefferson, from Mississippi; Reuben, from ditto;
Henry Winter, from Maryland and John G., from
Indiana. Of CiGrks, there are Senator Daniel,
from New-Hampshire; John b., from Missouri;
and Horace f., from New-YOrk. The three
Hashbuns-from Maine, Illinois, and Wisconsin
respectiyely-all brothers, Republicans and natives
of Maine-are already well known. SO of the two
Coehranss from this State. OF Stepars there are
james A., of Maryland, and William, of Pennsyl-
vania. Of AHdersons, William c. of Kentucky,
and Thomas l.. of Missouri. There are two Wades
both from Ohio, and both Republcans-Beni f.
in the Senate, and Edward in the House. There
are two HLsons-Senator Henry Of Massachusetts,,
and James of Indiana in the House. There are
Two Robinsons--James G.. from Illinois, and Chris
TOPPER from Rhode Island-both new men, and Of
opposite politics, so that they likely to puzzle
simple persons, who can't comprehend why Mr..
=" Robinson" or MIR. Clark" or " Mr. Davis"
should be voting or speaking just as they suppose
he should not and would not wish TO vote. OF
stereHses Thaddeus of Pennsy lyania, and Isaac /.
Delegate, from Washington Territory, are all that
now occur to Us. We note but one Hotoard-
William, Of Ohio; but when justice is done, we
presume there viii be another-WilliaIa A. of
Michigan.
BY the way; This brings us TO speak of the
contested seats, which are unusually numerous. as
