There was q large republican meeting In
Hagerstown, Md, last evening. Addresses
were delivered by Hon. Louis II. Steiner, of
iederiek' ana bon =, A. q; Riddle, OF this
when we say the republicans In New York
are impressed that they can and will carry
the state for Hay Gin. Commercial. IA
careful canvas Of the chances for the next
House show that that body will be exceeding
close. IL the "solid SOUTH business don't
take away from the republicans their Twelve
members from that region the republicans
viii surely be in the majority, 1t would
be singular condition OF affairs TO
have Mr.. Tilden President and both
Houses In opposition; Such q thing is
''''Among the democrats whom hea. will
De surely returned TO Congress is John F.
Earnsworth, I'm place OF Hurlbut, of Illinois.
The latter is the brother OF the publisher of
the New York World, and, being a high met
tied man, he is running for revenge against
the regular republican, Lathrop. As a dem
Marshall's Illinois district, the next Con-
gress will contain not less than four, viz:
Martin l., Washington, Amos and Shaw.

served as attorney general for a time under
Andrew Johnson, has written q long opinion
against the justice or legality OF the order
pool selling ON election results, IL may as
well be remembered that pools were sold In
this city the night previous to the last
Chronicle. ... Louisiana has q republican
majority OF 20 O00 Mississippi has q repub-
lican majority of 25 900; Alabama has a re-
publican majority of IL, 900; South Carolina
has republican majority OF $4,000; Florida
has republican msjority OF 1000 or 5000;
but every one of these states will cast an
electoral vote for Ttlden.-Sena BoR,ceu.
Presidential betting, excepting private
bets In rare instances, is at q standstill, as
will be seen from the general tenor OF our
dispatches this morning. In the southern
result than in the north and west, the bets
are i've hundred dollars on Tilden to three
hundred dollars on Hayes. In most north
ern cities The chances are considered about
even, but the betting men are holding of for
more certain tndications.-M Y. Herald. 80.
The history OF the country shows that, from
the administration OF Jefferson dswn to the
present hour, the political party which car
ried majority OF the House OF Representa-
tlves AT the election held in the middle of q
Preeidential term, never failed to elect the
President two years afterward.-M Y Sua,
..''"A weak device OF the enemy" to which
they are now resortipg, is the attempt to
make IL appear that the gamble are stak-
lng their money on the success OF TIlden.
The disciples OF the green cloth naturally
gIavtfate to Tilden and "retorm" as "birds
OF feather" }" and it is very easy for them to
make up bogus bets and send over the coun-
try as an Indication Of how "money talks"
The thing is barefaced fraud and IL these
gentry were confronted with any considera-
ole amount TO be actually staked they would
al once take water -Reoal bLican
