THE NEXT CONGRESS.

We give below statement of the polit-
cal complexion of the FortY-fourth aud
FOrty-fift Congresses, assuming that New
Hampshire will elect three Republicans, as
it doubtless will. This table shows ma
jority of one for the Republicans. But
there is actually majority of 81, for in
stead of being 147 Republicans and 146
Democrats, if fair returns had been made
the vote would be 166 Republicans to 133
Democrats. The Democrats claim one
member of Congress from Florida, and
three from Louisiana, which We have
conceded in the table. But some
of those Democrats, if elected at all, are
elected by fraud and violence, and should
not receive their certificates. Four dis
tricts in Louisiana and both in Florida are
Republican, and either have elected Re-
publicans OF would have done so if not pre-
vented by fraud and violence. The Gov
crnors cftbese States can correct the wrongs
committed by the bull-dozers of Louisiana
ard the bandits of Florida, and they should
do SO by giving the certificates to the men
who are fairly elected. The Democrats
claim two members from South Carolina,
but this claim is preposterous, and will be
disTegardcd. These members claim their
seats just as Chalmers does his, with
knowledge that the claim is q lie, but un-
Ike Chalmers, they have no convenient
reforming Democratic Governor to issue
the certificate in the face OF majcrities cast

Democrats contest, if they dare, before a
Republican House, so that the atrocities
committed in their districts will be shown
up before the American people. The table

Democratic Purity Of the Ballot.

To the Editor of the National Republfcdn:
SIR The internal regions resound with de-
risive laughter whenever the Democratic party
pirates about the purity of the ballot; and well
they may. Look at the falsehood of the pre-
tence as illustrated by its history: 1t defrauded
the great Henry Clay Of the Presidency by the
most open and shameless violation of the bal
lot; It carried the then seven electoral votes
of Louisiana for Polk by taking a steamboat
load of the scourings of New Orleans-frst
voting them In that city-to the Plaquemine
precinct, a few miles from New Orleans, and
again voting them for Polk. There were
only $50 legal votes in that precinct, and yet
Polk received 1,0O7 majority, which decided
the result In the State, as with that fraudulent
vote Folks majority was but $50. They car
ried the then thirty-six electoral votes of New
York by $50 majority, when 1t was well
known that 1t cast more than 10000 Illegal
votes in the city of New York. 1t had the
same kind of material then that it has now in
that city to use for the purpose. 1t had the
myriads of gamblers, gambling house keepers,
writers of obscene and Hcentious books and
papers, sham brokers, Tombs shysters, straw
bailmeD, professional perjurers, policy decoy
ducks and stool pigeons, receivers of stolen
goods, sharpers, importers, prize-fghters,
pimps, mock auctioueers, watch suffers,
pocket-booli droppers, brothel owners, panel
house men, bullies, cock-fghters and dog
stealers, TO use as ballot-box suffers and re-
peaters, and with such and by such means
they made Polk President. That is but one
specimen Of Democratic purity of the ballot.
1t has been repeated at every election in that
city since. As well the painted courtesan
boast the purity of vestal virgin.

National Republican., 1876-11-20

a FEW WEEKS after the advent of Cor
don to the United States Senate the then
Vice President, the late Mr.. Wilson, had
occasion to leave the chair for few hours,
and, to the surprise of Republicans, he in
vited the new Georgia Senator to preside
in his stead. Mr.. Wilson doubtless thought
that he was making wholesome move to-
wards bridging the ''bloody chasm, but
Republicans who knew of the question:
bic means employed by Gordon to obtain
his sest saw in that act an encouragement
of the diabolism which subsequently made
Lamar a possibility through the "shot-
gun" policy. Had Gordon been denied
his seat because of the murder and iutlmi-
dation which was employed in securing
the Legislature which elected him to the
Senate, treason would have been rebuked
and thousands of loyal lives in the South
would have been spared. In the same
spirit Mr.. Blaine aided materially in de-
feating the 'force bill, as Democrats like
to call it, thus rendering the ex-Confeder
ate House a possibility. But the manner
in which rebels and doughfaces attempted
to smirch Mr.. Blaine convinced that gen
tleman Of his error, and he is now wiser
man. AL in all, the experience with reb
els in the past twelve months has had
most salutary effect upon loyal statesmen,
who are at last fully convinced that no
good is likely to come out OF the Demo
cratic Nazareth. Likewise should loyal

The Cuban Strupple,

CFrom the Albany Evening Journal
Cuban adyices state that the Spaniards have
suffered another defeat uear Puerto Principe.
The fresh troops just arrived from Spain are
reported to have shared in the repulse. The
Spaniards, however, have a slight offset to
show in the capture of boat near Baracoa,
which had on board four insurgents with cor
respondence from Cuban refugees in New York
to the revolutionists on the island.
1t is now eight years since the insurrection
broke out. And the attempt to put it down
has been humiliating, disastrous, and most
expensive thing for Spain. The entire cost to
the mother country up to this time is more
than SOC, 100000. And of the 100000 SOL
diers it has employed in the bloody work fully
1876 900 have perisned either by the weapons
of the revoluticnists or by the hariships and
casualties OF war. Commander after COM
mander has been sent out to end the revolu-
ton, reinforcement after reinforcement has
gone forward, but the end is not vet. Upon
the overthrow of Don Carlos, Alphonso an

Upon the failure of General JoTellar, Gen
eral Campos was selected as his successor.
But the latter declined to accept unless an ad.
ditional force of 5000 men should be dis.
patched at once TO Cuba. This, with the
25,cGO previously ordered, would give him
10000 fresh troops. He also demanded more
artillery. In addition to this he insisted upon
icing clothed with full authority to deal with
all questions Of taxation and reform without
appeal. Spain hesitated, but finally yielded
or all material points, when 1t seems that
General Campos so far changed his mind as to
delay his start for some weeks, hoping that in
the meantime lie might get the Premiership at

The patriots have long directed their efforts
against Puerto Principe, and if the rumor of
is capture is confirmed and they succeed In
holding the town, it will give them great ad-
vantage, as 1t is the last stronghold of the
Spaniards in The interior of the eastern division
OF the island. And following as it does close
upon the capture of Las Tunas, by which the
insurgents gained Il, 600 Remington rifles and
large stores of cannon and ammunition, 1t
must have great weight in deciding the result
of the war. In this long and bitter struggle
the Cubans have conducted themselves with
remarkable endurance and heroism. For Tie
most part they have been cooped up in the
centre of the island, cut OFF from communica-
ton with the outside world and left to battle

IF sTRAws show the C curse of the wind
the following should indicate which way
the political wind has been blowing IN
Louisiana. Eight or ten days before the
election a Southern politician residing at
Monroe, La, came through Washington on
his way home from the Exhibition, and in
conversation with q friend in Alexandria
whom he understood to be q Democrat,
said that they were going to carry his State
this time sure. 'I'u tell you how it is, !"
said he; "fhe Republicans have registered
" majority in my parish of about 100, but
"Tm id if We shap't carry it. We have
got the nIggeIs badly scared, and mean TO
"keep them So" He went home, and on
the day after the election had occasion to
write to this friend, and in the postscript
he reported the result Of what had been
done in the following words: ''T'hs form
of an election ara8 gone through Nth
yesterday rery quietly. Tie negroes l0sre
&" UOted chiCfy ty our old citizens." Ex-
actly what that means we shall know better
when we get the returns from Monroe
parish; but it will probably turn out that
the frightened negroes were marched to
the polls by ''ouc CID citizens" I" and that the
Republican maj Gritty of 500 was ''quietly"
wiped out.

GENERAL BUTLER has allowed himself
to be interviewed by a Herald attache
upon the possibility Of trouble abou! the
count Of the Presidential vote. He does
not think the President of the Senate is
the sole constitutional counter Of the votes,
but that the presence of the two Houses"
in which ''they shall be counted" means
something more than that they shall re-
main as mere passive witnesses while the
President OF the Senate in person shall
count the votes. lie tbirks that the
method ed )pted by the fIsmers Of the Con-
stitulion during their lives, without ques-
tion Of improperly, of the appointment of
tellers by the two Houses for the purpose
ofmaking the examination Of the certifi-
Gates, should now be adhered TO as fully
established by custom. In the event Of a
final disagreement of the two Houses re-
gaTding the count, he thinks Gen. Grant
could properly issue proclamation before
the expiration Of his term of office,
conVening q called session OF the
Forty Fifth Congress on the fifth
Of March to consider the peculiar exigen-
cies Of the case and provide for new elec-
ton. He thinks that there will be no war,
but that commercial confidence will be
shaken, if not destroyed, by an interreguum
in the Executive Office, ifone should occur.
Ofcourse, in the present feverish suspense
regarding the final result, people will dream
and speculate and borrow troubles and
anxieties about what might happen in
France or Mexico; but with US in the Uni

ct all, all these matters Of election disputes
will be peacefully determined by the regu-
larly-constituted authorities, and graceful
submission to the result will be yielded by
all parties. A different course will demon
strate to the other nations of the earth that
we, too, after all our boastings, are unfit to
govern ourselves, and that our Great Re-
public of q century is failure. Its of the
first importance just now that every true
patriot should set guard upon his lips,
keep free from excitement and act with dis
Greet wisdom. Such examples may be of
great value to dissipated hot heads who are
nothing if not in their cups cursing and
staggering and spelling for fight 1t is not
too much to say that all, or nearly all, the
war talk that we hear just now is whisky
talk, inspired by alcoholic stimulants. The
only danger to be spprehended is from q
collision inspired by the same material,
and which may lead to steps which it will
be found difficult to retrace. If King Al

'tHoLD HIM hold him! or he will get

is the favorite cry Of the friends and bottle,
holders of the bully and the rioter when
they are determined to have little shludy.
No one wants to fight, no one wants fuss,
and no one sees any real necessity for
trouble except these keen-eyed, sensational,
neutral fellows, these hallooers after peace.
But they usually manage to keep up their
hue and cry until they cause a collision.
The present anxiety of the sensational
press of the country for peace and its in
sane efforts to preserve it by the publica-

of the indiscreet men OF all parties, which
will tend to infame the public mind, is of

none of this apprehension felt in CONNER

no faith in its policy, no belief in its Janus

will not reputiate the public debt and legal
