THE FoRTY-FIRsT CONGRESS.
The first regular nomination for the Forty
first Congress was made by The Oregon dem
ocrats, March Goth, viz, Joseph S. Smith, of
Salem; and Oregon will elect the first repre-
sentative-doubtness to be, as now, a repub-
lican-in June. The reformed practice by
which hereafter each new Congress will meet
and organize at the beginning of its term, on
the 4th of March, promises the desired uni
formity in the election of members without
the further intervention of Congress in that
behalf Kentucky, Tennessee, Maryland and
California have appointed for November
their representative elections, which other
wise would not have occurred until the au-
tumn of 1869; and New Hampshire, Rhode
Island and Connecticut will doubtless follow
suit. Thus, of the 1913 seats recognized in the
House, 1876 will be filled simultaneously with
the choice of President, and occupants for
the remainder will have been already chosen
The Southern States, doubtless by that time
reconstructed, will swell the November total
to 17G; but even without them greater num-
Der of Representatives will be chosen than
ever before upon the day of a Presidential
election.
