In the present Congress these
States have 81 Republican members
to II Democrats, showing q Demo
cratic gain of siA--three in this State,
one in Indiana and two in Pennsyl-
vania. We do not regret this gain.
In the present House of Representa-
tives the Republicans have l6S mem
bers and the Democrats So. The
Republicans thus outnumber the
Democrats by more than three TO
one. This majority is altogether too
large. 1t is dangerous 20 the party.
1t makes party leaders hasty, care
less, imperious, extreme. While
johnson has been President, we have
needed two thirds majority in Con
gress to enable us to carry on the
government in spite of his obstruc-
tions. But, with Grant in the White
House, a two thirds Republican ma
iority in both branches OF Congress-
would be likely to do both the coun-
try and the party more harm than
good. A strong opposition party in
Congress would be a blessing to us.
Barring, therefore, the personal re-
gret which we feel at seeing good and
true men beaten, we are not sorry to
have the Democratic strength in
Congress somewhat increased.

The following letter was received yester-
day from General Hancock:
HEADQUARTERS FIFTH MILITARY DISTRICT,
New Orleans, January o. ls69
Once of Secretary Civil Affairs,
Hon W. l.. Mcmillan, N. Vidal, Special Committee:
GENTLEMEN The major general com
manding directs me to acknowledge the
receipt of your letter of the l7th instant,
and to state in reply that the second ordi-
nance of the constitutional convention,
adopted on the 4th of January, 1868,
adopts a new mode for the collection of the
tax ard imposes penalties on defaulting
taxpayers.
You request the commanding general to
state what his action would be should the
civil courts of Louisiana interfere with
the collectors in the discharge of their
duties. In this connection the command
ing general deems it unnecessary to repeat
what he has already stated in reply to a
previous letter concerning his authority on
this subject.
1t would he highly inprope Tor him to
anticipate any illegal interference of the
courts in the matter. Whene, a case
arises for the interposition of the powers
vested in the commanding general by the
act of congress he will promptly exercise
them for the maintenance Of law and order.
Very respectfully,
Your obedient servant,
