Speaking Of popular majorities, it may
be worth while to mention that the whole
majority for Tilden, outside theiSouthern
States, was less by several thousand than
that given to Hayes by single State in
the North-Iowa.
Changes that have been reported during
the past week, in several Congressional
Districts, have left the political complex
ion of the next House again in doubt. 1t
looks now as if neither side can be sure OF
majority until the final returns are all in.
There is talk to the effect that the Re
publicans may elect Hon. Jas. G. Blaine
President of the Senate, and thus provide
for an able President in case the House, by
refusing to unite with the Senate in count
ing the votes, defeats an election and the
powers Of the Executive devolve upon the
President of the Senate.
Jerome B. Chaffee, of Denver, and Hen
ry NJ. Teller, Of Central City, are the two
United States Senators elect of Colorado.
They must be very good men, for Mr.. Sam.
Bowles endorses them both as ''old and
prominent citizens and Republicans, abler
than the average of the Senate, and, on
the whole, a little honester."
The Democratic newspapers of South
Carolina concede that Hayes has carried
the State and admit that the Republicans
have both branches of the Legislature-the
House by five majority, the Senate by con-
sidelably more than that. This saves an
other United States Senator, who had been
fully conceded to the Democrats
There is a contest over the election in the
third Congressional district of St. Louis.
The Republican candidate was elected by a
close vote-so close that a change in the re-
turn of the democratic vote of single fig
ure-from to 9-ehanged the majority.
Before the vote was returned, mandamus
was obtained, and on the goth inst. the
case was up for investigation, but laid ovel
a day.
Exactly how many reputable person:
were on the spot-Florida-says the n. Y.
1Emes-worling in Mr.. Tilden's interest,
we don't know. 1t is impossible to scar
the list of bummers and bankrupts who
are here from Washington and from tn,
North, working in Tilden's behalf, without
being thankful that crew so characterless
are not to have the run of the nations
Treasury.
The Commission appointed at the late
session of Congress, to inquire into the pol
icy of the restoration of the double stand
ard, and the reasons for the change which
has taken place in the relative value of sill
yer and gold, is now completely organized,
and has begun taking evidence in New
York City. Inthe composition of the COM
mittee, the Western silver men are largely
predominant. The Eastern States are re-
presented by one member out of six.
The word 5uH-dosing has been interpo-
lated into the language from the South,
and seems, so far as we can make out-po-
htical intimidation and bull-dogging. From
a southern application it begins to have a
northern one. Even here. in Ashtabula,
we are told that Democratic admonitions
have been thrown out that there may be
blood letting-in other words, bull-dosing;
and the Chicago Times broadly intimates
''that few rifle balls may settle the Pack
ard crowd, all other methods failing. +"
Bull-dosing, therefore, is likely to become
q more or less common term.
