LrxA, August 1a 1s74.
Since my last despatch OF the 9Th inst, Congress
has been very busily employed In the uninterest-
ing labor-t0 foreign readers-of examining the
credentials Of the newly elected Senators and
Deputies, ana, 80 far, It must be said, that the
government holds the advantage. Nevertheless,
the Chamber OF Representatives elected yester-
day, BY marked majority, the opposition candi-
date for the department OF Ayacucho son Of
Colonel Herencia Zevallos who, 1t will be remem.
bered, was shot on attempting to escape
from hts guards early in 1s73 while ON
an enforced voyage to the Upper Amazon.
This incidental victory does not appear to have
disheartened the supporters OF the administra%
tion. So for tho conflict has been conducted in
the most amicable manner, and were it not for q
suspicious cloud that is now apparent on the gen-
erai political horizon OF Peru If that term is allow
able, the prospect would be satisfactory to an ex-
treme. The bellicose people OF Arequipa, the
fountain head Of all disturbances in the Repub-
lie, again are ON the rampage. s,s
