An Irishman at Detroit, after exhibiting
his enthusiasm over the Prince of Wales,
gave the coup de grace by swinging his hat
and shouting, "Be dad, and come back here
four years from now and we'll run you for
President"

The Next COngreSx.

The Chicago Journal says that, so far as
elected, the members of the House of Repre-
sentatives Of the next Congress stand: Re
publcans 103, Democrats AZ, Union 8. The
States that are yet to elect, being all Southern
States except California, Connecticut, New
Hampshire and Rhode Island, will PROBABLY
give Republicans, 81 Democrats, and 1s
Union. If so, the next House, which goes
into session when Lincoln becomes President,
will stand: Republicans ll2, Democrats l04,
Union 81. Though the House will be appar-
emily against Lincoln, we think there can be
no doubt that the Douglas and Union men
will, In all important measures, support the
Administration, especially as against the
Disunionists. In this case, Lincoln will have
decided majority in the House to uphold
his Administration.

Mr.. LincOlll's Views.

Some one has started the silly rumor that
the President elect is about to issue mani
festo of his views and future policy, for the
purpose of allaying the excitement at the
South. Those who are anxious on the subject
of his views and intentions should carefully
peruse the Lincoln and Douglas Debates of
1858. In that work will be found Mr.. Lincoln's
complete political creed. Those who expect
that he is going out of his way to make public
proclamation of his intentions, in advance of
his inaugural message, will be disappointed.
Mr.. Lincoln is no child, to be playing at
platform making. He is man who has
record, and who is not afraid nor ashamed to
stand upon it.

The failure is one OF the worst on record
Extensive irat is are known to have been
committed: running back through long

into Foundation. Creditors will realize
nothing whatever on their claims, the assets
consisting only of broke q platforms and bogus
principles, al! of which are worthless.

THE WAR IN CHINA.

The Canada, from Liverpool, 4.h, via

morning. .-. IS. .-r.-r .r
The Canada brings the following add
tional intelligence via QaAeustown
The Overland sIall has arrived with Hong
ong dates Of Sept 18th The Times giyes
details OF the cupture Of the Tuksy forts.
Their special corespond,nt says: 81 am
unable to confirm the Statement .bct !; -
the intention of Lord Elgin and Baron Gross
to proceed to Pekin as guests of tie Emperor
accomp -nied only by an escort of cavairy.n
Inc correspondent then expresses the hope
tnat the news is uutrue.
The conquest Of the forts is described .s
das.ng battle campaign of eight days.
tL- allies established themselves az o..
'"rG. They had still march of twelve
niles before they could arrive at the object
ni their attack. The Chinese were learning
ne ait of war, and contrary to nll Chinese
prc'"'lents u was found that their positions
-, oeen taken with considerable military
Kill ADD fortified with much care. A Tar
Dr camp had been fo1mel, and the best
Froops of China were placed behind the
works. II was thcugh. that if the arfns of
tnr tnlaese aad been equal to those of tho
a.ues, the -onsest might have fayorably
compared with several European battles.
The French and English acted together
with harmony and equal gallantsy in the
attack. The allies had got within half a
mlie OF the great fort which appears to be
the key Of the whole position, although
some difference Of opinion is said TO naye
occurred among generals on the point.

LEGISLATIVE OVERSIGHT Legislature
at its last session, repealed that portion OF
the Statutes of lows laid down in the new
Code under the head of Chapter 1862, and
thereby inadvertently swept from the Stat
ute Book every provision for the payment
of public oficers-County and S.ate-who
receive their sa)alies in fees. Witnesses,
Jurors, County officers and State functiona-
fies suffer alike. A case involving thisques-
ton has recently come before Jufge Dillon,
of Davenport, who has decided that officers
who receive their salaries in fees, are abs0.
lutely without authority to collect compen-
sation til! the Legislature meets, and passes
a curative act for their benefit.
IL has been suggested that the Beard of
Supervisors can remedy the defect by voting
compensation to the County officers in lieu
of fees, Ii this can be done, it would be
much better than having an extra session of
the Legislature, besides being far less ex-
pensive.
