The Fortieth CONGRESS.

The loss to the Republicans of three
Representatives in the Lower House of
Congress from Connecticut, has suggested
the inquiry in the minds of many wheth-
er this can effect the power of the Re-
publicans to pass bills over the Presi-
dents veto. We take infinite satisfac
ton in stating that if the dominant party
should not secure single additional
member in the States yet to hold cleo
would be still reliable Republican ma
jority of two-thirds, with liberal mar
gin for stragglers and towards. When
the present Congress assembled on the
4th Of March, there were 126 Republic
cans and SO Copperheads elected and ems
titled to seats. The seat of Roscoe Con-
king, from the Utica District of New
York, had become vacant by his resigna-
ton, he having been elected L. S. Sem
ator since his reelection last fall as
Republican. The States which had not
at that time elected Representatives,
were: New Hampshire 3. Connecticut 4,
Rhode Island 2, Kentucky 8, Tennessee
8, California 3, Nebraska /, New York
(vacancy; l. The States of New Hamp-
shire, Connecticut and Rhode Island
have already held their elections, and
the relative strength of parties showed
AsSPuo'iSoAS Ao-, SoPpSihSo'S 90
The States yet to elect, if the Districts
should vote as they did two years ago,
would send delegates as follows: Ken
tucky-Republican 2, Copperheads !;
neutrality-suspicious. 4, Copperhcads
4; Observation-Disclosures 3. Nebraska
ought to elect q Republican, and Mr.
Conkling's District should do likewise.
These additions would make the figures
as follows: Republicans l43, Copper
heads so. Should the Cops elect al the
Representatives yet to be chosen, they
could only have 81 Members to 1872 for the
RepUblicans-leaving even then a good
working majority of two-thirds on the
right side. In the Senate, Andy John
son will have even less consolation for
up to the present time the parties are
represented thus; Republicans As,
Cops 8.
1t is humiliating that Connecticut-a
New England State-should have been
the first and only one in 1867 to endorse
the treason of Johnsonism; but, fortu-
nately. the Loyal men Of other States
had taken care to guaranty power in
Congress which could nulify Andrew
Johnson's vetoes, and even Andrew
johnson himself, and the Secesh major
ity in the old Nutmeg State are there
fore welcome to all the honor they can
squeeze out of their late political victory.

Two Horse-Thieves Shot by Citizens
of Fremont County.

Last Wednesday morning about 6 o.
clock, news arrived in town that the
thieves who had stolen Mr.. J. NJ. Nc
Millan's horses on Sunday morning
last, had been captured on the Nodaway
river, about forty-five miles east of this
place, and brought back to McKissick's
Grove, and that they would be hung at
10 O'Clock the same day. Every ridea-
bic horse was brought into rcquisition,
and no less than one hundred men from
this place started for the field of action,
which was some five miles due east of
town, in a small grove just Off the main
road running through the southern tier
of Iowa counties.
At ten o'clock between two and three
hundred persons were on the ground
with the prisoners, both young men,
and entire strangers to all. Their feet
were secured with ropes to prevent their
escape, and being allowed a choice be-
tween death by hanging or by shooting,
both of them chose the latter, and
twelve men were selected from the
crowd and armed with rcvolvers for the
work. Both of them entrcd protest
against that kind Of shooting, and re-
4uested that they might be shot with
rifles "a reasonable request, but their
prayers awaited them nothing. They
gave their names as William Nen and
James Crosby. Their pocket-books
each containing a small amount of mon
ey, were given by them to Mr.. Thomas
Farmer, to be forwarded to Mrs. Mary
Fielder, Lamar station, Nodaway coun-
ty, Missouri, u relative of one of the men.
Neff was called first, and the twelve
men at a distance of six or eight PAGES
from the unfortunate man. At his own
request he was blindfolded, and at the
command the twelve pistols were dis
charged, screech of agony followed,
and in about ten minutes he was dead
man. Crosby took his stand beside the
dead man. After again entering protest
against the kind of weapons to be used,
he desired the services of Roman
Catholic priest. As this was out of the
question, he again declared his inno-
ccnce, was blindfolded and shared the
fate OF his companion; he died without
astruggle.-Fremont, Io,ru) Times.

Was incorporated about II year ago,
IS making vigorous efforts to perfect
its arrangements for now line be-
tween Europe and America, by way
OF Bcrmuda and the Azores, having
It's Western terminus ut some point
on the coast of the United States,
and its Eastern at Lisbon. The pre-
sent cables have not enough custom
to keep their operators busy moro
than few hours day, but with the
reduction of rates which would follow
the completion of this new enterprise,
1t IS believed that there would be bu-
siness enough for all, and a great in

resignation, he would not have COM

A SIGN OF THE TrMEs.-A gentle
man from Maryland has lately ap-
peared in our midst, for the purpose
of buying real estate. A day or two
ago, he was accosted by negro man,
who, supposing him to be Northern
man, asked him if he intended buy
ing land in the neighborhood. Upon
being answered affirmatively, he was
advised by the negro not to do so, as
no good title could be made to land
bought in the County, because of the
fact that it was to be confscated and
apportioned among the colored peo-
pie. This is one o; the effects of
what we charge to be the influence
eXerted upon our colored population

reau officers and humble sneaks like

INSULTING THE DEAD.-The Army

tains, in q letter from Gettysburg,
the following notice Of the manner
in which the graves of the brave Con-
federate soldiers are treated by the
men who prate about the cruelties of
Andersonville:
"Along all these roads, the saddest
mememtoes of the gigantic struggle
are still visible in the scattered
graves in the adjacent fields. An
other year, however, will obliterate
all traces Of where so many rebel
leaders and followers lay buried. In
very few cases the graves are respect
ed, but as general thing the ground
is cultivated without regard to the
remains of the misguided men who
lie beneath it."

CuoLERA.-The New York World
says: Some foolish fellow, in the
evening papers, is predicting that
New York will be visited by the cho-
lera this summer. OF course it will.
We have had case or so already.
But there is not the slightest reason
for believing that it will become cpl
demic. The city was never so healthy,
as will be seen by referring to the
health report given elsewhere. There
are no epidemic diseases reported,
and deaths from arrangement Of the
bowels are unusuallylnfrequent. Pco-
pie who keep clean, eat moderately,
and pay their debts, need be in no
fear Of cholera. That last, "pay
their debts, isa saving clause. There
are but few people, however, in this
neck of the woods able to avail them
selves of it.
