Tnc Nes, Mouse OF Representative.


The New York Herald, Of the 10th
instant, concludes from the recent
elections In the west that tho demo-
cratic chances are ut least even for 80
curing majority In the next federal
house OF representatives, which degree
of success would foretoken reyolu-
ton IN the politics Of the country. II
proceeds thus to show the effect OF
such change;
In the next place, u clear democratic
majority In the next house would have
an important effect on federal leglsla-
don. II would prevent the passage OF
any bill IN which the republicans
might have u party interest. No mat
ter what President Grant might rec
ommend, or the republican senate
might pass, the democrats would hold
u complete check by their control of
the house.
The moral effect Of democratic as
tendency in one branch of congress
would be greater than the mere adj
vantage Of blocking republican leglsla-
ton. 1t would cause the country to
look forward to democratic control OF
every department Of the government,
and would enlist the whole body OF
time servers and political camp follow
ers on the democratic side. 1t would
enrol In the democratic ranks the
greedy multitudes with whom political
gratitude is "a sense of fav0rs eX-
pectedn-a class numerous enough to
turn the political scale. Besides this
great advantage the possession OF the
house by the democrats would enable
them TO manufacture an astonishing
amount of capital for the presidential
election. There would be u bewilder-
ing number of investigating commit
tees appointed to ferret out republican
abuses and there Is no reason to doubt
that they could find what they searched
for
Everything in the past administra-
ton of the republican party would be
turned inside out, and II the president
or the executive departments should
refuse any information which the de-
mocratic house might demand the re-
fusal would be construed as evidence
ofskulking guilt. An ancient mechan-
ician said that he could move the
world if he had a fulcrum on which he
might rest his lever. The democrats
would gain such a fulcrum by electing
majority to the next house, and
should they succeed to this extent
the next presidency will be visibly in
their grasp,
For us here in New York the most
immediate point of interest is the eff
feet of the recent democratic victories
on the contest in this State. 1t cannot
be doubted that their influence will be
great. They will depress and dlscour-
age the republicans and inspire hope,
confidence and exertion on the part OF
the democrats. They brighten the
chances of Mr.. Tilden, and If he were
not weighted down with the bad tao
ties, weak nominations and unpopular
leadership of Tammany hall he would
now have fair chance of success
against General Dix. Even is spite OF
these distractions and drawbacks his
prospects are improved by the result Of
the October election.

THE first national convention OF
students held in the south since the
war met at Charlottesville, Virginia, on
the 18th instant. 1t was the annual
convention of the Delta Kappa Epsilon
fraternity which gathered with the
chapter of the university of Virginia,
Bayard Taylor presided over the public,
exercises, delivering captivating ana
eleyating address. As 1t Is the schol-
ars of the land that mould the thought
of The country, this assemblage was
notable and significant, and not less
so because to the bands which held the
convention together as scholars, to
whom, as such, state lines are no bar
riers. there was added mystic tie.
IL was beautiful circumstance, as
Mr.. TAYLOR felicitously said, that such
a convention should be held 'in the
