ABOUT POLITICS AND PoLITIChNs.

--Twenty-four seats in the next Con-
gress will be contested-nine now occu.
pied by Democrats and fifteen by Re.
publicans.
The Richmond Whig regrets to see
1t, but warns Southern Democrats that
the time has not yet come for the South
to have a man on the National ticket.
Cabinet changes are continually
rumored by Washington correspondents.
Changes in the Cabinet. like motions for
adjournment, are always in order; but,
unlike such motions, they are always
very debatable.
Full returns Of the New York eIec-
ton give Bigelow, Democrat, for Secre-
tary of State, majority of 15 4SO-which,
as compared with Tilden's vote last
year, shows falling off from the Demo-
cratic majority of 24,sS7 votes. Outside
the city and county of New York, Sew

The. Wisconsin election is a puzzler
to the politicians. The Republican can

majority Of .s43. But the Democratic
Lieutenant Governor was elected by
L571 majority; and all the other Demo-
cratic nominees on the State ticket were
elected by majorities ranging from 800 to
1900. Out Of the 100 members of the
the Republicans have elected
81 members; the Democrats have AZ

district there is a tie vote. Now the
question is, Which party carried the
State?

ADanserous Counterfeit.

A. gentleman connected with city
bank called at the Herald office yester-
day with a counterfeit 500 bill on the
Central National Bank OF the city Of
New York, which had been sent on here
from Ohio, where it was taken on de-
posft by a bank. The counterfeit is SO
much like genuine bill that only ex-
perts could notice any difference. The
shading OF some of the letters is little
duh and the engraving on the lower
right hand corner it is seen is poor when
closely scrutinIzed. On the whole it Is
a dangerous counterfeit, however, and
it lie quite likely that many similar ones
are afioat in the West, as counterleiters
generally commence to circulate there g
counterfeits on Eastern banks.

DEATH OF THEVICE PREsIDENE

DEATH OF THE VICE PRESIDENT
Our readers will be painfully shocked
by the unlocked for announcement oi
the death of the Vice President of the
United States, as contained in our tele.
graphic columns. The sad event oc.
CURED at quarter past seven O'Clock
this morning. in Washington City.
The Vice Presidents illness had beer
to some degree alarming from the first
attack; but the indications of recovery
had been for the past few days SO en-
eouraging as to lead the public to sup
pose his convalescence quite certain.
But it seems that a new attack of the
disease in a severer form has suddenly
supervened, and has brought the Illus
trious statesman to the end OF his earth
ly career. .....,
Henry Wilson, though born In the
humber walks Of life, and in his earlier
years quite dependent upon his daily
labor for support, had nevertheless 80
improved the opportunities derived from
his New England Common School eduea-
tion as to take rank among the most dis
tinguished public men of the nation. His
career in the public councils of his ma
tive State Of Massachusetts, in Congress,
as a U. s. Senator, and finally achieving
the position but second to the highest in
the gift of the country, the Vice Presi-
dency of the United States, is one more
illustrious example of the ability OF tai
ent and industry to make name of re-
nown for the humblest citizen under the
benefcent privileges accorded by the
genius Of cur institutions.
In every position to which the voice
Of his constituents called him, the Illus
trious deceased was true to every duty
and faithful to every interest. In both
his public and private life his character
was free from the shadow of reproach or
the slightest stain Of dishonor. All his
purposes were pure and patriotic. But
his end has come. The record OF his life
is forever closed. The memory of the
exalted virtues ana amiable character
of the illustrious deceased will be cher
ished by his admirlng countrymen.
