The Chicago RepubIiea. ciphers out the
Would-be complexion of Congress in case
the Southern delegations we're admitted.
There are nov in the House Of Represen-
tives l4o Republicans and As Democrats.
II the % representatives of the eleven
recovered States were to gain admittance,
and all side with the Democrats, the lat
ter would then command 1o3 votes, being
thirtyseven less than the number cast BY
the Republicans. There are now in the
Senate IS Republican, 10 Democrats and
g EJohnsoniazs." In case the % South
srn applicants for seat were all admitted
there would be an accession Of 30 votes to
the Democratic johnson party, while
Hessrs. Underwood, Of Virgins, and
Fowler, Of Tennessee would certainly
range themselves with the Republicans,
This would make the complexion of the
Senate as follows: Administration men
se; anti-Administration, s5-that Is on
the superstition that Messrs Doolittle
Dixon and Lane should still continue to
vote with the President

the Government where the letter Is mailed. aud
each side TO keep what 1t GETS"
The charge heretofore has been twenty
four cents or one shilling sterling. A reduction
Of onc,half is quite an improvement. There
are in the United States not less than two
and half millions OF persons of British. Irish
birth. The number Of letters exchanged be-

Of these are lnbcrlng people, twenty -four
cents Of postage on half ounce letter WAS
quite tax. The present reduction will
cause double IS many letters to be written
by friends On both sides Of the water.
The benefit orthe reduction will not &C.
crue exclusively TO persons Of British na-
tiyity among us. The commercial inter
course between the mrrchants OF both coun-
tries is very great, aud constantly increasing.
Thousands Of business letters go ont BY
