The Merit Congress.

Thew ashington correspondent writes
The fact is that the republican mana
gers, instead of feeling confidence on
maintaining the supremacy of the par
ty in the Forty fourth Congress are
dreadfully alarmed, and are sending
out appeals to their henchmen every
where, besecching them to put their
heaviest work into the congressional
canvasses and to swap off state officers,
legislatures, and anything to secure the
return of republicans to Washington.
To lose the control of the next House
of Representative is equivalent, in the
republican mind, to the loss Of the pre-
sidential election, How are military
terrorism to be established in theSouth
and government supervision over tho
elections in the interest of third term
ism TO be kept up if the republicans
cannot run both branches Of Congress
A democratic House is "checkmate" tt
all the rascally schemes by which thu
republican party managers calculati
to boast Grant into the White Hous.

Of the machine best known as the eng

The Worlds latest special dispatches
indicate that the Democratic majority in
Ohio is nearly 1900. while the majority
for Indiana ranges up to 10000.
In Arkansas the straight Conservative
ticket has been elected, and the new con-

jority.
Even in Iowa and Nebraska there are
Democratic gains; but when the great

II is no ordinary revolution of public
opinion which in Ohio adds nine Con
gressmen to the Democratic list, giving
the Democracy representation Of fif-
teen in a delegation whose total is
twenty, and in Indiana reduces the
Republican Congressman from ten to
thirteen. But this is the revolution
which was recorded in Ohio and Indi.
ana on Tuesday. The Democrats Of
Indiana have Just three Representa-.
tives in the present Congress. In the
Forty-fourth Congress they will have
ten and possibly eleven. Each Of
these States has chosen Democratic
State officers by popular majorities

are now that the democractic majority

The contest in the Eighth Ninth and

the above.
From present reports it is impossible
to give the correct complexion OF the
Legislature, but the indications are that
the Independents will hold the balance
of power in both houses.

The latest dispatches from Ohio and
Indiana show that the Democratic victo-
ries in those States are even greaterthan
was at first reported. In Indiana the
Democr attic State ticket is elected by
about twenty thousand majority, the
Democrats hold the balance of power in
both houses Of the Legislature, and elect
nine out of thirteen Congressman. In
Ohio the Democratic State ticket elect
ed by 1900 majority, and the Democrat
elect fourteen or fifteen out Of twenty
Congressman.

The Commercials Inconsistenc,,

The woman suffragists have address,
ed letters to the Republican candidates
for Congress- in Pennsylvania. But the
Commercial, Of this city, is silent on the
subject. Our neighbor is stumped over
the fact that under the laws Of the Rad
ical Congress, negro women would be-
come voters, and equally entitled to hold
Office, were woman suffrage adopted in
the States. The Commercial begs the votes
Of negroes; but fears to urge its party to
vote for negroes. 1t must come to this,
however, or agree that the negro race is
not qualified to govern.
The Commercial advocates the election
of negroes to Office in the Southern
States; but dares not attempt to advo-
cate the election Of negroes TO Office in
Delaware. This, in the Commercial, is
not doing unto others as it would have
others do unts it. It favors negro leagues
in Delaware and Louisiana; but denoun-
ces white leagues in both States.

das fastening upon her prey. 1t was the bar
barity of the. LAGOON without its beauty
this strange, horrible murder. And now the
arms of derrick, erected themselves in the
air, approached one another, and closed about
the dead and hampered victim with the silent
force Of a hydraulic press and the ruthless pur-
pose of thumb-screw. A moment more,
and, while could see the bases Of these great
levers pressing more tightly toward each 9TH
er, from their interstices there trickled down
the stalk of the tree great streams of the Wis
cid honey like fluid, mingled horribly with the
blood and oozing viscera of the victim. At
sight Of this the savage hordcs around me,
yelled madly, bounded forward, crowded to
the tree, clasped it, and with cups, leaves
hands, and tongues, got each one enough of
the liquor to send him mad and frantic. Then
ensued grotesque and indcscribably hideous
orgie, from which, even while its convulsive
madness was turning readily into delirium
and insensibility, Henrick dragged me hur-
riedly away into the recesses of the forest,
hiding me from the dangerous brutes and the
brutes from me. May never see such a
sight againl
Seid ben Yalhainah says he will go aboard

carnivorous, in the Same sense that donea
aud drosera are insectivorous. The rctracted
leaves Of the great tree kept their upright po-
sition during ten days. then, when / came
again one morning, they were prone again,
the tendrils stretched, the palpi floating, and
nothing but white skull at the foot of the
tree to remind me of the sacrifice that had
taken place there. / climbed into neigh
boring tree and saw that all trace of the victim
had disappeared, and the cup was again sup
piled with the viscid fluid.
The understandable rapidity and energy of its
movements may be inferred from the fact that
l saw smaller one seize, capture, and dcs-
troy an active little lemur which, dropping by
accident upon it while watching and grinning
at me, in vain cndeavored to escape from the
fatal tolls. a
With Hcnrick's assistance, and the consent
