PROCEEDINGS OF CONGRESS-.

Congress met Monday and both
Houses have been every day occupied
with questions affecting the present
political crisis. House committees
have been appointed to visit South
Carolina, Florida and Louisiana, and
will at once enter upon their. duties.
In the Senate a resolution presented
by Mr.. Edmunds was adopted pro
viding for the investigation Ivy the
Committee of Privileges and Elections
of affairs in Louisiana, Mississippi,
Alabama, Georgia, Florida and South
Carolina. Inquiry will also he made
by the same committee into the ac-
ton Of Governor Grover of Oregon in
issuing II certificate of election to Il
defeated Tilden Elector. Six sub
committees will be appointed for the
Southern States just mentioned. The
Presidents annual message was re-
ceived the first day of the session,
and on Wednesday was followed by
II special message transmitting the
report of the Republican committee
which visited Louisiana at the Presi-
dents request and attended the ses-
sious of the Returning Board. A
House committee has been instructed
to inquire whether any violations of
law have been committed by the
President, and the more violent Dem
oerats threaten Impeachment, but it
is not probable that this measure will
be seriously attempted. The main
reason of complaint against the exec
utive is his use of troops in the dis
puted Southern States to maintain
the authority of the local govern
ments.

The y ational Complication.
Hayes Elected President.
Tilden's Election also Claimed.
Attempt to Steal His Missing Vote from
Oregon.

On w edheSaal the ffeslaentlai
Electors assembled in the various
States and east their Votes for Presi-
dent and Vice President of the United
States. A SUMMARY Of the total vote
shows 1876 for Hayes and Wheeler and
1874 for Tildpn and Hendricks, The
Republican ca,,iidates having RE-
ceived legal majority of the Elec-
toral College are duly chosen and will
be inangurate6 in March. Upon this
contamination the country is to be
congratulated. Under The admins
tration of President Hayes we will
have firm and equitable enforcement
of law and civil service rs ppie rs
an honest and patriotic Chief Magis-
trate can make it.
The Democrats, however, are not
disposed to relinquisli without a strug
gle contest SD nearly won and vital
to the very existence If their party
A conspiracy to capture the one clec-
t0ral vote requisite to the election of
Tilden has been developed in Oregon.
Mr.. Watts, one of the Republican cleo
tors chosen by fair and unindisputed
majority of the popular vote in that
State, was disqualified for the position
by reason of holding federal office,
that of Postmaster. Under the law of
Oregon IL vacancy in the Electoral
College is filed by vote of the quail
fed members, but in defiance of this
statute Grover, the Democratic Gov
ernor, issued a certificate of election
to one CrOnin, the candidate receiving
the highest number of votes ON the
Democratic electoral ticket. The two
Republican electors refused to recog-
nize this illegal action, and selecting
Watts to FIJI the vacancy in the college
he having resigned his post office
the three votes were cast for HAYES
and Wheeler. Tn the meantime, Gro
min assumed that the refusal OF the Re-
publican Electors to meet him va,
Gated their positions, and he selected
two So called Republicans to assist IN
enacting the farce of casting the cleo
toral vote. These disguised Deno-
Gratis voted for Hayes and Wheeler,
while Cream cast useless ballot for
lilden aud Hendricks.
The effect of this conspiracy will be
TO intensity the stiuggl. in Congress
over the counting of the electoral vote
and to render more imminent the dam
ger of the contest extending beyond
the Legislative halls but it is not to be-
for moment surprised that the law
less plot will achieve it's purpose and
secure the Presidency to defeated
candidate. As we before remarked,
Hayes and Wheeler have been elected
and will be iuaugurated as next Pres
ident and Vice President of the
United States.

THE NEXT CONGRESS,

A very significant fact, showing
that the Republican party is by no
means in that state of dissolution from
lack of public confidence so fundly
imagined by over sauguiLe followers
of the 1'ilden and reform banner, is
the overthrow of The large Democratic
majority in the popular branch of
Congress- aud the substitution there
for of a plurality of Republican Rep
resentatives. In The present House
there are 1877 Democrats to JOS Re-
publicans, Il Democratic excess of 81.
According tn close calculation made
b, the New York Commercial Adrer
tser and other leading newspapers,
when the next House assemblies there
will he l48 Republicans to IDS Demo
Gratis OH the roll. These figures are
based on the most reliable returns
from the recent elections and upon
the assumption that New Hampshire
will elect three Republicans at her
Congressional election next spring.
The present delegation from that
State is composed of two Democrats
aud one Republican, but both the for
uier owe their electiOiI tn Republican
dissensiuns which have since been
healed. There is fair Republican
majority in each of the three districts
into which the State is subdivided.
The Republican gains were made in
The following States: California l,
Illinois7, Indiana 4, Iowa ], Kansas
|. Louisiana 2, Massachusetts 4, Mich
igan |, Missouri a, New Jersey l, New
York l, Ohio 5, Oregon ], Pennsyl-
vania 10, Tennessee /, Wisconsin |,
Colorado |, and assuming New Hamp-
shine 2. gives total Republican gain
of 46. The Democrats gained in Ala.
bama 2, Kentucky /, Mississippi 2;
total 5. The net Republican gain,
therefore, is 43 Representatives, and
the net Democratic loss az, the new
member from Colorado not being
counted as loss. The seating of
several Republicans ho have mani
testify failed of election because of
gross frauds practieed in the interest
OF their opponents, will give "A good
working majority in the House to
cooperate with that If the Senate in
sustaining the benefcipnt admins
tration of President Hayes with whole
some laws in keeping with the insti-
tntions of the Republic aud the policy
of government established by the Re-
publican party.
The remarkable change in the char
acter of the representative branch of
Congress indicates much more clearly
the condition of the public mind aud
the will of the people than does Mr..
'Filden's boosted " popular majority"
predicated for the most part upon such
and unnatural revulsions
as were produced by unconcealed vi
olence and fraud in Mississippi, Ala
hama and other States where armed
and obstreperous minofities habirnal
" overawe and browbeat peaceful, /
law abiding majorities.
The cnuHtry has demonstrated it's |
to trust the law making |
branch of the government in the hands |
IF Democrats, and has thereby given
IN expression of continued and re-
lewed confidence in the Republican
larty which is especially encouraging

airs grnwing cut of sharply con-
ested Presidential election
