The Democratic Check I'm Congress.

In the present House of Representatives
the Democrats have a Trustworthy majority
of at lenst 70 votes. The majority they
held during one long session, in which
they claimed that they had won the conf .
dence Of the people, and since the recent
election they are continually boasting of
their popular majority" But judging by
the complexion Of the next Congress,
the degree of popular confidence in the
Democratic party is not such az TO justify
much boasting. Their great mnj jority is
cut down till it cannot exceed round
dozen, and may be less Indeed, so close
was the vote in some of the districts now
conceded to them that il was for some time
doubtful ifthere was Democratic majority
in the House at oil. Their first losses were
in the October elections when they lost 4 in
Indiana and 8 in Ohio. These were fol.
lowed in November by the loss of in Cali.
fornia, in Florida, in Illinois, in Iowa,
l in Kansas, 4 in Massachusetts, z in
Michigan, A In Missouri, in New Jersey,
] in Oregon, in Pennsylvania, and in
Tennessee
These results would be accepted by any
party not infatuated with pride and obsti.
racy as q singing rebuke. The country
could not readily tell party in more con
vincing fashion that they had not met its ex-
pectations than by reducing majority such
as the Democrats have in the current Con-
gress, to the pitiful margin which II will
have in the next one. Nothing could bear
more directly on the judgement of the peo-
pie regarding the conduct of the majori ty
last session than this remarkable cha nge in
its proportions. New York Times.

A New Orleans correspondent
writes: OF the fifty-seven parishes in
the State forty have been officially
heard from. They show Republican
majority of from seven to eight
thousand. There will be contests in
regard to at least twelve and perhaps
twenty parishes, but they will not
come up until the districts in which
there is no contests have been dis
posed Of This is in accordance with
the State election laws. The count of
the uncontested parishes will be fin
ished in about three days, and then
the disputed ones will be considered.
1t is thought that they can be gone
through with in seven days, and that
by the first of December an official
announcement of the vote for Presi-
dent ond Vice President can be made.

Cincinnati, November 24.-The
Commercial editorially says: Before
committing themselves utterly to the
doctrine that the Congress of the
Uuited States has power to regulate,
supervise and dictate the election of
President, the Democratic leaders
should take look ut the whole situa.
tion. General Ewing proposes in case
the electoral vote of Louisiana is re-
turned for Hayes, to send out an in
vestigating committee and take testi-
that vote in Congress. Then suppose
the Senate sends out a committee to
Kentucky to look into the informa-
ton of the so called Presidential
election in that State. Louisiana has
the same rights in the Union that
Kentucky enjoys. Her State govern
ment is as legal as that of Kentucky.
Her methods of determining how her
electoral vote is to be cast are no more
to be called into question than those of
Kentucky. One State is as sovereign
as another. If one House of Congress
has right to 60 behind the record of
the vote of one State another House of
Congress has right to go behind the
vote of the record of another State.
The House might find that Louisiana
is infested by dishonest men, who are
suspected of dealing unfairly with the
people. The Senate may find that
though the local affairs of Kentucky
are exceptionally we'll managed, the
solemn regulations made by the Con-
stitution for electing President are
utterly disregarded in that State. If
Louisiana can be pitched out why not
Kentucky or any other State? Let
us not depart from the plain path
marked out by the Constitution"

when the State has decided that right by its
competent authorities, will lead to conclu-
sions in which the people of this country
will not acquiesce."
There is plainly a wide difference Of
opinion between Mr.. Potter and the
SIN In regard to the power and
authority which the two Houses of
Congress can exercise In counting the
vote for President and Vice President.
According to the latter, Congress can
not go behind the certified vote of any
State, but, according to the former the
House of Representatives can do as 1t
pleases In the matter. We are certain
there Is no such power, as Potter
claims there is, vested in either branch
of Congress; ifthere were it would be a
dangerous thing for the country.
After all the writing we have had on
the subject neither Republicans nor
Democrats are agreed among them
selves as to the power possessed by

The Presidents Families.

Washington was married but bad no
children. Adams was married and had
one son, whom he lived to see Presi-
dent. Jefferson was a widower; his
wife died twenty years before hi, elec-
tion. They had six children, all
daughters, of whom only two survived
infancy. Madison was married, but
had no children. His wife was the
most elegant woman that ever adorned
the Presidential mansion. She sur
vived him, and was for many years the
pride OF Washington society, having
lived to stem to Henry Clay's farewell
speech 10 the Senate. Monroe was
married, and 10 was John Quincy Ad.
ans. Jackson was widowsr, and so
were Van Buren, and Harrison. TYLER
was widower when be entered Office,
but soon after married the Aeiress,
Miss Gardiner. He was the only
President that married during his term
OF office. Polk was q married man,
and his wife survived him number of
years. General Taylor was . widower
Pierce Was married man, but Bu-
chanan was bachelor. The social
condition of such men as Lincoln,
johnson and Grant needs no reference
except to add that Grant is the 6rst
President who had daughter married
while he was in Office.
