Fail CONGRESSIONAL ELECTIONS.

In October and November l3 States are to
elect 1874 Congressman; lO3 of the places to bo
Hllcd are now filled by men elected by the Union
Party, the balance-3l-by Democrats. The
maiorities by which these were elected precludes
the possibility Of their places being filled by
Radicals. The Republicans, then, have to rely
upon securing as many as possible Of the places
| now filled by Union men. Fifteen of the Union
members were elected by majorities ranging from
800 down to 1900 twenty-four were elected
by majorites below 1000, mostly ranging from
800 down to g. There is but little doubt that
the places Of these % will be filled by men op-
posed to the Radicals, and the probabilities are
that most of the places filled by the 5 members
elected by majorities between l 900 and 1000
will be filed by antiRldicais. As compared
with the present Union Delegations in Congress,
the probabilities are that the Radicals will not
have so many in the next Congress from the
States in which elections are to be held this FALL
by 2s members. In the present Congress, Penn>
| sylvania has - UniOnists and Democrats.
Judging by the votes at the last election and
! present appearances, she wllin the next Cons
| gress have l6 anti-Radcals and Radicals.
| New York has 81 Unionists to 10 Democrats.
Judging as above, shewilb have Is anti Radi
Gals to l6 Radicals. OHIO has / Unionists to Q
| Democrats; she will probably have G anti-Rad-
| Gals, to l3 Radicals. Indiana has 8 Unonists
| to Democrats; she will probably have anti
Radicals to Radicals. Illinois has II Union
lists to Democrats she will probably have
| anti-Radicals to Radicals. Compared with the
present Union strength in Congress, the Radi-
Gals will also doubtless lose one member in Wis
consn, one in Iowa, one in Michigan, one in
New Jersey, and three in Missouri. 1t must be
borne in mind that full .thlrd of the present
| Union members of Congress, whose places are
to be filled this fall really anti-Radicals !;
rand that with the exception of Thad. Stevens
and Kelly of Pennsylvania, most of the Radical
members are those elected by the smallest ma
| jorites in 1864. IT, therefore, the Radicals fail
to carry the districts where small Union maiori,
ties were given in 1864, they undoubtedly
twill, and the Conservative Union members are
reelected, the next Congress will not be very
favorably constituted for the objects of the Rad
ical leaders, though there will still be an un-
doubted Union majority in Congress. Appear
ances now indicate that in the next Congress
there will be slight preponderance against the
Radicals in the delegations from the FIVE great
States-New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Illinois,
and Indiana. The United delegations from Ken
lucky, Tennessee, Wes; Virginia. New Jersey
and Delaware, will be strongly anti-Radical.
The New England delegations Radical, and dele
cations from the smaller northwest States will
| preponderate in favor of the Radicals. These
are now the indications of the political barome-
ter, which, however, will undergo many startling
changes between this time and the next election
| in this State.-S. r. Call.
