Thus far the Republicans have gained l

have fair prospect Of gaining in Wiscon-

the Republicans do not lose some members
in New York. On the whole, it is quite pos
sible that the Republicans will not have a
clear working majority in the next Congress
but doubtless on some measures Lincoln 8
administration will receive support from Bell
Everett members, and on others from indie
pendent Democrats Of the North.

said, was doing all in his power for the Re

GOLD! GOID!

Mr.. BDIroR Ono of the Members of the
House, in exploring the mountainous regions
around Montpelier, has discovered, upon a
quartz boulder, piece Of gold which he inn
AGNES to be worth at least fifty dollars He
refuses to exhibit the same until after ad-
journment, for fear Of disturbing the quiet
deliberations of that body, because, says he,
if members cannot be kept for more than ten
days from running away, and violating the
rules Of the House, they would all soon be
missing if there was the least chance for find
ing gold. After adjournment he promises to
exhibit for the inspection of the curious.
but until that time prefers to remain
