To view Of the elections already, and
the political drift manifested in Ohio and
other States, the politicians here are begin
ming 70 prophesy an anti-administration ma.
jOiiIy N the next house Of Representatives
That body IL composed OF 292 members. The
Democrats have now about 70 mem bsTs, and
have TO gain s. members in order 10 secure 2
majority. They have gained alresdy in
No Ia Carolina, in OHIO, IN West Virginia,
and 3, II not Z. in Indiana; total, Is. Gains are

CHATTANOOGA, October u, IS74.-In
the pat SIX months have been in most OF
the sou uIhern states, and 1 have noted care
fully the political bearings 10 the congress
siuuai districts, 10 that I am prepared to give
necessarily close estimates o. the result in
November. You may expect a clear gain OF
over twenty congressman for The Democracy
In the sUutn, aud a gain OF four senators at
the ensuing senatorial elections in six OF the
southern slaies, Including Virginia, where
the senatorial election has already been held
and GsI era Withen, Democrat, elected.
First, As to the
sENA rORIAL ELECTIONS,
which occGr This 1sl and winter in Florida,
Mississippi, 81 tennessee, Texas ana West Vir-
ginia.
From FLORIDA and Nj -sigsIppi Republicans
win be leturned, but nom TeX-s, tennessee
snC " est Vi Einla democrats viii be chosen
10 place OF Flanagan, Brown ow and Bore
man. This Will give the Democrats a Gear
gain OF four senators Including General
Nlthersl ia the SIX southern States. That
there viii be Democrat elected this winter
iu the place OF each Of the four Republican
senators there Is not the shadow OF a doubt.
IN place ole Wis, OF Virginia, a Democrat
mas Already Oeen elected.
CONG RESSIONAL ELECTIONS.
IN Virginia the Democrats will gain the
first and thru, and possibly the second die
rrct. In the gubern atorial election last 3 ear
they carried the second district on the gJy-
erDor's vote, aud they have a fair prospect of
carrying 10 tuis YEAR The first and third dis
tricts they viii certainly carry.
In HenDesSee The Democrats Will gain the
thu d, nth, seventh, eighth, ninth and tenth.
The second is doubtful. This will be a clear
gain OF SIX for them As all the districts named
are now rerres- nted by Republicans.
In South Carolina there = bat one doubtful
district, the fourth. The Rel Uhlicans have
every district there, and if the Democrats cen
gain any it VIII be the fourth
In North Carolina, al tie August election,
the Democrats gained two UlE.essuseu.
In A iauana the DemocTsIf- " d gstu three,
namely; the third distrlc-, ana $50 from the
state al large.
In Louisiana they win likely gaia tse irst,
ami may gain the second district. ln Is72,
when the Democrats were baQly demOfdlized,
the Republicans Of the first district had but
ma iOTity Of seventy-fJur on q tots vote OF
near twenty-five thousand. The Democrats
are morally certain 70 carry the district IN
November. The second district Is more doubt
ful.
IN Georgia the Democrats win certainly
gain the nrst and nth districts, the only dis
utcts now represented by Repu blicans. This
State Is wholly lost 10 the Republicans. At
the recent election fOE members Of the legls-
iature, not more than one Out OF twenty re
turned a Republican. Only three counues in
the whole state went Republican. The civil
rights bill has driven all, OF neatly ali, the
white Repub leans out OF The party and the
negroes, without white leaders, art about as
unnt TO form, sustain and support a ponucal
party as So many sheep. cannot nov recall
4 single white N n OF any prominence VINO
remains with the Republican party in 0TeOl gla.
In Arkansas the Democrats VIII gain one
member.
,ratIc party In the south viii go into the next 4
congress with clear gain OF four senators
lnd At least twenty congressman II the
party in the north should 40 proPoruouaiely

Orify 10 she next congress % a point IN the
leighborhood OF zero. But this II not at all
probable.
