We have not got sufficient data to
figure up the result Of the elections
on Congressman, but have sufficient
to warrant us in saying that the re-
publicans have lost from 20 to 25
Congressman in the elections Of the
9Th INST. This loss occurs in the
main IN the Southern States. Through
out the Northern Statos there have
been gains upon both sides,and while
these gains have been in the latter
States little favorable to democra-
", they still nearly Offset The next
Congress will, therefore, have a
strong and healthy working republi
can majority, though considerably
reduced from that Of tho last. Thi.
result will be no detriment TO tho fu
| ture interests OF the party, and is ,
sure indication Of . grand victory il
the next Presidential year.

CAN A WIFE SuR uER HusBAND.-a
At the district court yesterday in the
case of Mary Allen vs Henry r.
Allen, in which che sued him on q
debt for money loaned him, the
plaintiff alleged in her petition that
defendant, her husband, borrowed Of
her one thousand dollars and then
deserted her. The husband demur-
red on the ground that wife could
not sue her husband for debt. The
court overruled tho demurrer, thus
deciding that wife deserted by her
husband can sue him at law for q
debt due her from him. Judgment
for plaintiff for S7O0. Hereafter let
deserting husbands pay up before
they depart. The defendant in this
case was some months ago the driver
Of the Brady street Omnibus. He
married respectable widow lady,

Arkansas.

Returns from this State, up 10 this,
writing, would indicate that tho de-
mocracy Of Arkansas have elected
all, or nearly Al, their candidates for
Congress. This has been brought
about by dissensions among republi.
cans in that State, We learned some
time since from . distinguished citl-,
zen of Arkansas that the most better
feeling existed between portion Of
the republican delegation in Con-
gress and Governor Powell Clayton,
which feeling was likely to endanger
the reelection Of the presen : lepub-
lican Congressman. Gov. Clayton is
man who never forgetsa friend nor
forgives an enemy, and if Arkansas
has gone democratic, it is chargeable
to the slashing, bold disposition for
revenge on the part Of Gov. Clayton
brought into exercise in this canvass.
Though we have not received def
mite news, the result may show that
Gen. John Edwards, formerly Of
Charlton, Iowa, and now Of Fort
Smith, Arkansas, il elected as an In
dependent candidate, having been
supported by the democracy and dis
aatis4iod ropubffCGns. -------- :

that party ofengineers staesed ffom

vey the proposed route Of the OF
tumwa q st. Paul Railroad. which
passes throngh this CITY The party
IN charge Of the chief engineer. 4.
w. Bailey, arrived III this city on
Wednesday evening thnscompleti ting
hesurvey.a The survey saterg this
county ON the south line; of Homer,
township, about one-and- = half miles
from lie southwest corner. From
thCnce IL pursues On almost ucrthsrly
direction, crossing Bear Cresk ON the
farm of Mrs. Boon. 1t approaches
the city on the western side,
crossing Main street near thc Cor.
poration line, and the river shout
halfway between tho mill and the
residence Of Mrs. Snow, thence to
the Illinois Central depot. BY this
route An easy grade into the valley
ID attained and heavy cuts avoided.
We took some pains TO ascertain from
Mr. Bailey the feasibility Of the new
route, and was more than satisfied
with his answers. He speaks in the
most favorable terms Of the sntirs
route, and 10 sconRdent that railroad
can be built mp It ct minimum cost.
He says there are but few deep cuts
on the line, and that these are short.
He found excellent crossings Of all
the streams. and nowhere long bot
toms to till or pile. II short, he pro
nonnces it . frst-class line, and what
is again encouraging, Mr.. Bailey re-
ports the people along the line fully
awake to the Importance Of the road,
and ready, even anxious 70 do what
is in their power to aid it. This dis
position was o. true Of the farmer as
Of the people Of the towns. Nowhere
did . farmer interpose an obstacle or
IN objection, but al with one accord
evinced the liveliest interest and con-
idence in the project. The present
survey after leaving Wapello county
enters MGhaska on or near its eastern
border, where are extensive coal fields
with veins from nine to twelve feet
in thickness, but now comparatively
unproductive on account Of having
no outlet by rail or water. These
coal mines will afford o large busi.
ness for the road, when built, sum.
cient as the company deem to Justify
them in diverging from the origin
ally proposed route via Sigourney.
The survey CROSSES the northwest
corner Of Keokuk county, passing
through . very rich country to
Marengo, and thence on the original
route proposed through Blairstown
and Vinton. fS7'sss's II ssds M,
