Concerning the next Congress the
situation now seems to be about as fol-
lows: 1t is tolerably certain the Re-
publicans have elected 1872 and the
Democrats 145, and 8 members are yet
to be chosen. This leaves 9 members
in dispute, as follows: The Sd Arkan-
sas, claimed by the Democrats, though
not with confidence the 4th California
in doubt, with chances apparently
equal; the 9th Illinois is claimed by
the Republicans I'd, 4th and 9th LOU
iSiana claimed by the Democrats, appa-
rently on very slender grounds, 5th
Maryland, claimed by the Democrats
by n very small majority, and the same
remark applies to the Sd and 7th Mis-

that the Republican candidates in the

Our HatIon's Financial Standing unasel
Republican Rule.

During the month OF September last,
four and half per cent bonds to the
amount of $4,000, 900, were sold at
par in gold, the best sale OF government
bonds on record in the history of any
nation. If this transaction had been
made OH the basis of Mr.. BuchanaIl's
loan, the cost to the Government would
have been S5.00,0O0, while all the
expenses are now about one twentieth
OF that sum. On the whole sum of four
and half per cent bonds negotiated,
the Democratic discount would have
been $50, 600 900. AS it is, the loan is
sold at par, and the expenses of all
kinds are limited to one half of one per
cent.
In 1867 the Government paid S143,-
1851, tor interest on the national
debt. Last year it was reduced to
500, ,243 .271. and this year it will be
nearly 5000, 100 less still. That is TO
say, tile burden of interest has been re-
duced one third i'll ten years.
Had the Democratic House perfected
necessary legislation, the Treasury
would now be selling bonds paying
only four per cent interest. In spite OF
the neglect of that body, the present
administration has the distinction OF
having disposed of the four and hall
per cent bonds on better terms than any
other nation ever negotiated its bonds
for SO large sum.
This Government never before paid
so low a rate of interest as now, and nc
other Government ever reduced the in.
terest burden SO rapidly as the presen,
administration is doing.

Henry G. Bowen, of Brooklyn, one of Mr..
Henry Ward Beecher's Plymouth Church
men, accusing the Reverend Beecher of all
kinds of high crimes and misdemeanors; and
it seems now to be thought that Beecher will
have to own up and take back seat if he is

he has no doubt fully practicrd but those who

Our market for securities, this week, has
been mighty roughly handled by Jay Gould.
This man, with his pluudering gaug headed by
creature called Reindeer Heath, (Who is an
active pal of Goud's) has succeeded in fore
ing down quite low some of our best secur-
ties; attacking of course Western Union,
against which he has special spite, because
he has failed 10 getting control Of the compa-
ny, which be simply wanted to manage, like
the Erie Road, which company this worthy
relieved of nearly twenty millions of dollars, of
which sum only small amount have they
been able to make him disgorge; so it goes if a
poor man steals enough food tor his starving

Of our banks are assisting the coffee ring, and
they are hoping to get out by MIR. Morrison's
new tariff bill, which imposes three cents gold
duty on coffee. The public here arc violently op-
posed to this bill, as it will do great injury to
some of our best merchants. 1t is high time
for Congress to stop tnkering with the tariff;
the more they bother with it, the worse the
country gets, and by all means let them stop
legislating to Cypress the poor by putting du
ties on the necessaries of life, to grind the poor
man and enrich our gigantic and wild coffee
spectators. We trust that Congress will bya
decisive vote send back this new bill of oppres-
sion to the committee from whom it emnated,
aud show them that this country has yet some
respect tor the rights of the poor as we'll as

any proposition upon which be desired the
Senator's vote that be was not opposed to him
upon any proposition except the tobacco ques-
ton, and upon that matter he had been dia'
metrically opposed for the past five years.
MIR. Hinton was surprised that the Senator
