ELEMENTS OF THE FoRTIErH CONGRESS.
Strong as the Radical party is in the present
Congress, it will be much more powerful in
the next, which meets on the 4th Of March.
In the Senate there will be but five Demo-
Gratis proper Messrs. Salisbury and Riddle,
OF Delaware; Mr.. Hendricks, of Indiana !;
Mr.. Guthrie, of Kentucky, and Mr.. Bucka-
lew, of Pennsylvania. The Democrats, on
national questions, will, however be rein
forced by seven Conservatives Messsrs.
johnson and Swami, OF Maryland Davis,
of Kentucky; Norton of Minnesota Patter-
SON., of Tennessee; Doolittle, of Wisconsin,
and Dixon, of Connecticut, making twelve
in all. The Radical strength will be for.y,
and adding Nebraska, forty-two, thus giving
them much more than a three-fourths major
ity. In the House, which, excluding the
Southern States, is composed of 1911 members
there will be % vacancies in consequence Of
no elections having as yet been held in sew
eral of the States 1t will stand on the 18th
of March, 129 Radicals to 81 Democrats,
giving the Republicans more than a three
fourths vote, and if the present representa-
ton in the States to elect is notchanged, the
Radical strength will inot be diminished. It
will thus be seen that the Radical party for
the next two years will have absolute control
of the Government.

s Virginia a State in the Union ?-Tne
Question Before Anew York Court.

New Y ORR, February 16.-In the Su-
preme Court in Chambers yesterday the case
Of George Olney, captain Of steamer Wash
ington Irving came UPON application for his
discharge on Q writ Of habeas corpus. The
petitioner had run away from Norfolk, Vir-
ginia with his vessel, while she was under at
tachment by the sheriff, and had eluded a
United States steamer sent in pursuit The
petitioners counsel contended that the req
uisition of Governor Peirpoint was invalid
on the. ground that there was no such State
as Virgininia in the Union recognized by the
Federal Government or Senate as such that
Governor Peirpoint had been appointed Gov
.erner by the. President, and he had no ght
to make such appointment i that the Cover
nor Of New York had no legal authority to
expatriate citizen. on a requisition of Gov
ernor Peirpoint, and that we had no treaty
with Virginia for that purpose. He signi-
fed his intention of traversing return to
the writ.
Judge Leonard remarked that, supposing
Judge Dean was right in his, theory, he would
still be puzzled by the doctrine Of de tacto
governments. He did not think there was
any validity in the objections raised If
Congress had the idea that Virginia was not
a State in the Union, he would not concur
until he was compelled to do So.
The case was then postponed until II
o'clock this morning. ea
This case is looked to with intense interest,
as bringing a vital question squarely before
the Supreme Court
