The Next House.

In the table in the last issue of
the journal we gave the complex
ion OF the next house of represent
atives in congress as near as the re-
turns could be arrived ct.
To enable our readers to keep the
tally for themselves we will give
the facts as to the present house.
The house is composed of 292 men,
bers. The list before us gives these
as l6S Democrats los Republicans;
IA Independents, aud vacancies.
The vacancies are filed by q Dem
ocrat and Republican-making the
house stand l69 Democrats to log
Republicans, with IA Independents.
Some Of the Independents have
acted with the Republicans, but to
make sure, we class them all with
the Democrats, making the vote
1873 to 100. Colorado has come in
as state, and this adds one to the
Republican vote, making it ITO and
the whole house 293-a majority
being LAT. We stand then with Ito
Republicans. We must now gain
81 to have q majority in the next
house. AS we figure it, we have
gained as fOlloWsj

Mistakes in Electors.

Our dispatches this morning
speak of number of unfortunate
errors that have occurred in Wis
consin and other States in making
up the Republican electoral ticket.
Some OF these electors are Federal
Oficeholders, and as such are dis
qualified from holding the electoral
Office. 1t seems to be taken for
granted that this ineligibility will
result in giving the place to q DEM
ocrat, bat such q result need not be
feared. Electors are voted for in a
BODY, and it would be difficult to
tell what Democratic elector should
be given any place made vacant by
a Republican, even if snch a rule
were applied. But this plainly is
not the method of correcting such
mistakes. PramG fdcie every cleo
tor is eligible, aud those receiving
majority will be given certificates.
If any such are disqualified, the
point will be raised by the regular
college of electors at their meeting
ia December, and the places of such
persons filled by the other members,
as authorized by act of Congress,
and as provided ia nearly, il not
quite, every State by local statutes.
There is, then. little to fear from
this source, and it amounts TO moth
ing probably save to show with
what little care the candidates were
selected for this important duty

The Outlook.

The following well considered
article, from the Lawrence Daily
Journal, is not precisely in accord
with the recent campaign speeches
and predictions, but is very near
the actual facts:
Whatever the event in regard to
the President, the Republican party
comes out of the recent great con-
test intact, powerful, thoroughly or
ganized, in possession of nearly all
the great States OF the Union. still
dominant in the Senate and proba-
bly, in the House of Representa-
tives, and with principles which
must continue to live and be the ba-
sis of free, popular governments az
long as they shall exist.
The closeness of parties ia favor
able to good government. No fla
grant or glazing wrong is likely Ell
Their to be perpetrated or attempted.
Moreover, those reformatory meas
ures which the best men of all par
ties concede to be just and necessa-
ry are vastly mere likely to be
adopted than they would be were
either party in an overwhelming
majority. If it shall turn ont Gas
we think it WILD that Gov. Hayes
is elected, we have in him the high
est type of public man-one who
has not sought Office, of perfectly
pure, private life. of humane and
generous sentim ents, broad-gauged,
high-toned. patriotic-a model man
for President. If Tilden shall prove
to be elected, we have a man of
great political sagacity, cautious and
conservative, who will study to
adapt himself and his ad.ninistra-
ton to the tone of enlightened pub
lie sentiment in both parties. His
letter on the Southern claims bust
ness foresbadows q breach with the
extremists of the South if they shall
persist in pressing their schemes.
In any event, the financial ques-
ton may be considered as settled
in accordance with the best practi-
cal judgment of the country. Spe-1
Gle payments will be resumed in
the paper currency of the country
will be issued under some form of
national authorization so as to be
VI uuiIOEut Nhluc al OV6r INC ~ u
ion and redeemable at pleasure in
Coin. The distinctive greenback
party VIII be heard of no mere.
Whatever there was of good in its
notions will finally be incorporated
into the legislation of the country
and it's errors and follies will pass
away.
The tariff will be revised in the
of free trade, not violent
ly so as to imperil vested interests,
bat gradually. carefully and surely.
Civil service reform will at last
get a good, fair, practical trial.
Hayes is deeply committed to it, and
Tiiden with a Republican Senate
will be compelled to accept it as his |
rule of action.
There is nothing, therefore in the |
general situation which need cause |
violent apprehension. The parties |
are very nearly divided. The pow
er of the government will be DIS |
tributed, and conservative consuels |
are likely to prevail.

The ExeatacIxy Pheaomeaon
Repeated fun North Carolina.

A gentleman writing from Caste
mia, under date of the 30th, gives an
account of q truly wonderful occur
renee. he states that a shower of
f1esh-genuine unmistakable flesh
fell in sight of Gastonia, In CASTOR
county, on the farm of James NJ. Han
ma. The circumstances, so far as can
be gathered from the gentleman allud-
ed TO, and from the statement of Mr..
G. w. Clark of this city, who visited
the spot and heard the statments OF
those witnessing the phennmenon, are
as follows: On Saturday afternoon,
about three o'clock, while Mr.. James
M. Hanna and some Of his little grand
children were picking cotton in field
near his house, they were astOnished
at the sight of small pieces of flesh
falling all around them. The shower
continued for some time, and when it
ceased it was discovered that the flesh
was scattered over an area of about q
half acre of ground. The pieces va
ried from q half ounce to an ounce. In
the words of our correspondent, " the
ground was not covered, but the flesh
lay like an ordinary light hail. " In ap-
pearance it Is described as resembling
beef, part of it being filled with small
s.news, but in no piece were bones
found. When it fell it had the APP
pearance and odor of fresh meat, but
the pieces sent us ter inspection are
almost entirely odOrless and rese mble
dried beef.
1t may be added that the weather
was perfectly calm at the TINA of the
shower, and that there has been no
storm, and no heavy wind in that sec
ton in several weeks.
The occurrence created much ex-
element in the neighborhood, and
our Informant says that many persons
visited the field and obtained portions
of it with q view of examination, but
thus far the results of the investiga-
ton have not been reported.
The specimen in our possession Is
about three-quarters of an inch in
with. We will gladly place it in the
hands of any one who wishes to inves-
tigate the matter, and attempt to ex-
plain this mystery of mysteries.-
