Below we present list of the dates
OF the elections next to be held in the
several States. Various incorrect
statements respecting them have
been printed In some OF the papers,
and none OF the political almanaes

Especial efforts have been made TO
secure accuracy in the following.
Most uncertainty prevails respecting
the election OF the members OF the
next Congress. By the new Appor-
tionment bill it was provided that
Representatives should hereafter be
chosen on the same dsy throughout
the Union, that dag being the Tues
day next after the first Monday in
November, 1876, and in every second
year theresftes. But the F0rty-thifd
Congress 50 modified this law that it
does not apply, unless supplemented
by action;Of the Legislature of the
State, to any State that has not yet
changed its day Of election, and whose
! Constitution must be amended in or.
der to effect . change in the day Of
