TIE TRIUMPH TUESDAY.

! pGdtS ninety one or TWO ueluDeIS Ill Tue
House of the Forty second Congress, be-
ing an increase of nearly thirty over the
present House. With the estimates OF
gains expected but not yet received in the
returns from Alabama, Arkansas and
Texas, it is thought that this number will
reach one hundred Even if there should
not he more than ninety members, they
will destroy the obnoxious practice of
the present House by which the Republi
cans, by a two thirds vote, have been able
to suspend the rules and pass measures
by the same vote without allowing de-
bate. Much vicious legislation has been
thus enacted by the election of party rule
