The election of 1877 over, to congress Will
all eyes turn to witness the course of political
events in America. Questions OF vital inter-
est are pressing for settlement, and the dis
cussion bids fair to be prolonged and absorb
ing. The subjects of Finance, Publication,
internal improvements Civil-Seryie Reform,
and Mexican Border Troubles. &c. are among
those which must largely occupy the pubic
mind The proper development OF the re-
sources otthe West and South, by means OF
an improved condition of river and railroad
transportation facilities-the utilization ofun-
employed labor in needed public Works-the
encouragement OF iiaai grafton to the fertile
lands OF the Great West. are matters OF ma
tional, as well as of local concern. Scarcely
less important is the support of all measures,
by whomsoeyer originated, aided rindorsed,
giving to the Southern states full and free
control Of their own atlairs-the only policy
leading to permanent peace. The state leg
islatures, especially to elect United States
senators, will also be invested with interest,
as upon them and the elections of 1873 will
deyolve the decision as to whether the reins
OF political power shall continue to be held
by the Republican party, the tenure of that
power now hanging by but slender thread.
Upon these and Kindred subjects the Re-
publican, which gives an earnest advocacy to
the principles of the constitutional Democra-
cy, will always be found battling in the ranks
