The Next House.

In the present House of Represents
tives the Republicans, if all vacancies Were
filled, have majority OF l02. To change
this majority in the next House the Oppo-
sition must make gain of fiity-two men,
bers.
At the election for members of Congress
held this summer and fall in North Caro-
lima. Vermont. Maine. West Virginia,
Ohio. Indiana. Iowa and Nebraska, frac-
ton oven one-fifth of the next House were
chosen. In these elections the Opposition
have gained certainly twelve, probably
thirteen, and possibly fifteen members.
Let Us take the lowest of these figures
twelve. If the Opposition can gain in the
November elections in the same proper
ton as they have gained in those already
held. they will have clear majority in
the next House. just as surely as five
times twelve are sixty.
Can the Opposition make these gains !?
Why not The tide sets steadily and with
unexpected strength in their favor. They
have only TO make good nominations.
bring out their reserved forces. conciliate
all the elements of hostility to Grants Adj
ministration, and the desired end will be
reached.
Ii will be impossible to overestimate the
amount of terror which will take posses
sion of the hearts Of Grant and his Cab
met, and his minions Of high and low de-
gree, If majority Of the next house is
against them. They have hardly been
able to stand the investigations Of their
friends I'm this Congress. They could not
survive the exposures Of their opponents
in the next. In this emergency no fair
and honorable concession, which is neces-
sary to secure the election of Congress-
man who is opposed to Grant, should be
regarded as too great o.be made. No mat
ter whether he Is n Democrat. or Liberal,
OF Granger, or whatever name he bears.
If he Is thoroughly and heartily against
be put i'm nomination.
Will the opponents of the Administra-
ton think Of these things?-N. Y. S,o.

They cannot afford to repeat or to persist
In their plumbers I'm the Southern States.
There must be no more Of the unwarn anted
intermeddling by which Kellogg was
made Governor OF Louisiana Congress
must give that State a fair election a soon
as IL assemblies, and the President and his
spuerserviceable Attorney-General must
leave the local affairs OF the South 10 local
management. The Administration must
relieve Itself, so far as IL kgally can, from
all responsibility for what Is done In the
South. II must shin the responsibility To
the shoulders Of the Southern people. Had
McEnery been inaugurated as Governor of
Louisiana i'm January, 1873, as he would
have been II the President had not inter
ferred, there would either have been no
troubles in that State or they would have
been chargeable to a Democratic State
Government. It's impossible TO govern a
State well against the wishes of the best
classes of its people. Ii was sheer rash
ness for the Republican party to undertake
such an experiment. IL would have been
better, in party view. to have left Louisi-
ana I'm Democratic hands than to have in
CURED responsibility for such a state Of
things as has existed under Kellogg. The
same principle is applicable TO the other
Southern States. They can be better gov
erned at home than they can be from
Washington, and If they are to be ill-gov-
erned the Republican party had better ac-
quit Itself Of all responsibility. If Con-
gress, when Ii meets, will do prompt JUS
tice TO Louisiana; ii the President will Sc
lect his Southern appointees from the best
classes OF the people; If he will take'a re-
spectacle Southern man who understands
and sympathizes with his section i'm the
Cabinet; if he will hereafter have
just as little to do as is legally possible in
local Southern affairs, the Republican
party can recover lost ground and elect
the next President. if II dominates a new
and good candidate.-Neio York Herald

"A Southern enterprise Of vast inn

fected with various railroads by which
Il eight from the contiguous States will be
brought 10 Savannah al low rates, and the
first vessel. the Arbitrator, has left Liver

OF Georgia and the adjacent States will
ere long receive a large portion of their
stocks from Europe direct, and planters
will enjoy greater facilities for shipping

The work of erecting workmen's
dwellings in London proceeds with celeri-
ty and success. One association, the Arti-
sans, Laborers', and General Buildings
Company. have constructed several thou
sand bildings, unitary and separate. A
large park, named after the Earl Of Shaftes-
bury, has been laid in connection with one
OF their efforts. They now have another
park of eighty acres laid out. The ground
has been taken for over one thousand
dwellings already. The streets will be
planted with trees, every dwelling will
have back and front garden land, and the
centre of the park will be laid out as pub
lie garden.

While Boston is sending missionaries
to preach the Gospel in China, says the
Congregotionatist, there comes Chinaman
to preach the religion of Confucius to
Boston. Wong Chin Foo Is the name of
this sanguine Oriental, who thus seeks to

The Presbytery of Northern Illinois
has reversed the decision of the Chicago
Presbytcry in the case of Professor Swing,
and finds that the charges against him were
proven. In view of the fact that Profess
sor Swing has declared himself to be an
independent minister, however, the Sy-
nod forbore 10 pronounce his suspension
from the gospel ministry, and disposed of
the case by requiring the Chicago Presby-
terry to erase his name from the rolls.
