THE NEXT CONGRESS-.

From the present indicationsit seems
likely that the next Congress will be
controlled by Independent Greenback
men. In many Of the Western and
Southern States the candidates of the
Independent party for Congress will
contest the race, and successfully, too,
in some instances the Republicans haul>
ing off the track in favor of the Green>
back nominees, and in others the Dem
Ocracy adopting a similar course. ILL.,
inois will certainly send three Indepen-
dent representatives-Alex, Campbell,
General William b Anderson and And
rev j. Hunter. Two OF them are mem
bers OF the present Congress-, and will
be reelected. In Ohio one or two In
dependents will be elected. while nearly
all OF the Democratic candidates likely
to be elected are so far committed to
the grecnback policy that they will act
soley with view OF furthering that re-
form. In Indiana the prospect is bright,
and several districts will be secured.
It is highly probable that one or two
greenback Congressman will be elected
from Kansas. Tennessee, Missouri, Mich
igan and West Virginia. Pennsylvania
and New York will swell the list OF
Greenback representatives in fact, the
news from all quarters indicates that
the bankers and bondholders have had
their day in the national halls OF legis-
latioD, and must now step down and
out. Their cup of intamy is full to the
brim.

Donnelly had accomplished his purpose, he
would he astoni.hed q the result.
We did not purpose to change the PEN
alty for murder but to make clear tho
process by which that penalty would be
inflicted. The law says the Jury shall
decide whether the prisoner shall be
hung or imprisoned for life, but there is
no mode provided by which . jury can
be impannelled, in the cass of y plea Of
guilty, to settle the sole question of the
grade of the penalty; neither is there
any law which Empowers the judge to
sentence him for lite where he pleads
guilty. The jury alone can sentence
him. To make clear the purpose of the
law is not to change the penalty.

Ignatius Donnelly, of Minnesota, has been

Governor of Minnesota, represented his dis
trict ably in Congress, two terms we believe,
and is the most popular orator in the North

He fearlessly attacked the errors of the re-

early as 1869, and has been the especial object
Of hatred Of the ring politicians ever since.

just like our Democratic brethren they

truth is that Judge Stacy was nominated
by the greenbackers and subsequently
endorsed by the Democrats. The SEN

workingmen have been throwing their

evenly divided between both parties.
One-half vote one way and the other halt

Simply because they are led by the nose.
