The Congressional Elections-Their Eff
feet on the Campaign of 1872.


Tie House of Representatives comprises
24l members In the present House the
Republicans have 162 and the Democrats 20
members, giving the former a majority of
80. TO overcome this majority is heavy
task, but the Democracy are trying to &c.
complish il in the election of members for
abe next House.
Elections for the next Congress have now
been held in Vermont Maine, North Caro-
lima, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Iowa, and
Nebraska These eight States choose 76
members, or a little less than onetnird of
the whole. The FIVE last named States voted
on Tuesday Of the present week. The com.
Ilctc returns arc not yet received but It IL
probable that tle ne, gain Of members for
the Democracy is 8. That party claims
to have gained in the recent election of
North Carolina, though the Republicans
conccde them only 3, and they also dispute
come of the reported Democratic gains in
Pennsylvonia. Upon the whole, it may be
safcly assumed that the net aggregate Of
Democratic gains thus far stands at g.
Judging from the elections which have
already occurred, the Democrats will do well
an those yet 10 come if they can make net
gain of 10 members out of the 1G5 remaining
TO be chosen. This will increase their num-
Der in the House by 49, giving them l02, and
The Republicans 139 members. or a clear
majority of 81 In view of the unpopularity
of GRANTS Admin straton, and of the
changing drift of the political tide in the
South, as shown by the election in North
Carolina, and of the Republican quarrels in
half dozen districts in the North the Demo
Gratis may, with rare good luck, further in
crease the sum total of their gains TO 80, thus
obtaining 100 members, and leaving 1872 20
the Republicans with ma ority To the latter
OF 80. This, however, is extremely improb-
able and we do not think the Republican
majority in the next House can in any con.
tingency be reduced lower than go and it
5s more likely to exceed 40.
These calculations, which we believe Will
turn out to be substantially correct, have an
important bearing upon the next Presidential
election, because in not n single Instance
during the last fifty Years has it happened
that the party which elected a clear majority
OF the House in the middle of prcs dent al
term has failed TO cl Dose the President tw,
