Washington dispatches show that the
Democratic managers are already making
sanouine calculations on securing a ma
joriry in the next House OF Representa-
lives. TO do this it would be necessary for
them 10 carry fifty-three or fify-four dis
tricts now represented by Republicans.
They claim a gain of sixteen in States ia
which elections have already been held !:
these figures are not likely to be decreased,
and a further gain of thirty-hYe or thirty
six would change the majority in the
House. This looks highly Improbable, but
the fact that the opposition seriously con-
slider it likely ought to rouse attention. A
Democratic maj ority in the House of Rep
resentatiyes would greatly surprise that
party; il would also astonish men who
seem TO consider that an important can
yass can take care of itself. And il would
considerably astonish the business men OF
the community before a year had passed.

From our Boston Correspondent.
q.

Boston. Oct. 10.
How beautiful are these bright October days
for they bring to Us such miracles of beauty
in the way Of delightful mornings and after
moons, refreshed BY the smiling sun and sweet
breezes, while the painted foliage, rejoiees in
garb OF so many lovely tints, and rustles about
in fine contrast with the green lawns below,
and the trees bend beneath their heavy burdens
even after every market is filed TO overlooking
with the rich fruits they have yielded. Even
the running Of the brooks seems to have a
pleasanter sound than usual, when we remem-
Der that very soon the sweet murmer will be
stopped, for already Jack Frost has begun his
march preparatory taking possession Of his
wintry domains. Then the trees will be strip
ped Of the fruit and foliage; the brooks will no
longer run singing through the woods; the
beautiful flowers will no longer fill the air with
sweet perfumes, but instead, the mountains
will lit on high their snowy heads. and winter,
the white-robed king will sit on his snowy
throne.
REV. W. Ii. II. MURRAY.
This popular pulpit orator who has been
pastor of the Park Street Church for six years,
has resigned his pastorate much to the surprise
Of his church and congregation. Six months
ago Mr.. Murray asked for an associate pastor
for the purpose as he then explained. Of increas-
ing the work Of the church and building large
tabernacle where pew rents would be cheaper,
and the rich and the poor alike could worship
together. The majority of the church are will
ing to further this object, but there is q small
minority who strongly oppose it, and for this
reason. because there is no more unanimity of
thought and feeling on the subject, he has re-
signed, and has asked that they might consider
if as final. Boston needs large church where
rents will be about one-third the price Of the
majority Of our places Of worship, and Mr..
Murray is the right man to Gil its pulpit, for
his longings and aspirations have always been
that he might preach to the poor Of Boston,
as well as the rich. He fully comprehends the
work to be done and Is able to graple with it
as few others can do, and Park Street Church
with all its wealth should aid in the under
taking. but il they do not, the young preacher
viii find no trouble in establishiug himself
elsewhere, but he will not leave Boston. He
feels that his Me-work is here, and here he win
probably remain, for he has sufficient ability,
reputation and popularity TO sustain himself,
without the aid Of Park Street Society. A
