The latest construction of the civil SER
vice order is THAI PLACED on it by, the
President to Senator Dorsey, the carpet
bag Senator from Arkansas, whose term
ends on the 4th of next March. In this

Arkansas isa Democratic State, and the
Radicals are making every effort to GO.

able that he would have appointed all Of

THE NEXT CONGRESS.

A"o 1IoPuuiivans uTe making their mC5L
strenuous efforts to secure the next House
of Representatives, with view of con-
trolling the next rep'dency by throwing
the election into the House of Represen-
sati1ss, aud 40 ihis object has beeume 40
apparent speculations upon the result of
the congressional elections this fall are
becoming quite common, and are not
uninteresting. The leading journals of
the United States concede that the Dem.
ocrats will have majority in the next
House of Representatives, and the ma
jority is estimIied varioasly from twenty
to sixty. The present majority is twelve,
80 that if the Democrats retain what thew
have, and make the expected gain in
Ohie end Missouri, the majority will DO
at least thirty-four. But we are sure to
gain some in South Carolina, and per-
haps in New York, Pennsylvania, Illi-
nois and Wisconsin. It would, we think,
De pretty safe TO assume that with the
exposures of the presidential frauds, the
navy frauds and the general course pur,
sued by the Republicans. we can easily
secure majority of forty in the next
House of Representatives but for che
purpose OF electing a President, In case
of q lack of any candidate with major
ityso oil the votes cast, it will be neces.
sary to have majority of the States
Democratic, as each State casts one vote.
Specializing on this contingency tho New
York San classes the Democratic pros.
poets by States as follows:
Observation-Disclosures Arkansas, Con.
necticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia.
Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland. Missis.
sippi, Missouri, NeS Jersey, North Car.
olina, Ohio, Oregon, South Carolina,
Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, West Wiz.

I Reppblican-Colorado Illinoie, Indi.
ane, Iowa, Kansas, Maine, Massachusetts.
Michigan, 1innesota, Nebraska. Nevada,
New Hampshire, New York, Pennsylva.
MIA, Rhode Island, Vermont, Wisconsin
seventeen States.
Divided California.
This calculation allows che Repnbli-
cans to hold every State in which they
..s:' hsr s,;e=.j- 5=. g g 1.si,,:S.;va Gva-
gressmen, except South Carolina and
Ohio, and is therefore very safe calcu-
latcn for the Democrats to make. The
States of Now York, Pennsylvanis, iii.
nois, Wisconsin and Indiana are az likely
to be Democratic as Republican, and
there is very little prospect that the Ro.
puhlicahs will carry moro than half of
faem. Tho next Congress may be safely
connted Democratic In knih hsanHhAe
and with it the Democrats will certainly
elect end iuaugurate their President after
Mr. Hayes usurpation ersds.

Farmers, Weigh Your Own Produce.

Until recently it has been the custom of
farmers to rely wholly upon those to whom
they sold their stock or produce to do all
the weighing, and while his stuff has been
run over the scale in hurry, and at the
time he supposed it must be right, still on
going home and figuring over, he has won
dered why his hogs fell short 20 or 80
pounds on an average from what his
neighbor set them at, or thati his load OF
wheat should fall short when The rounded
the measure each time, or as he has ar.
gued with his neighbor on lightweight Of a
quarter of beef or jar of butter, he has
thought what convenient thing scale
would be. ard perhaps the high price at
which scales have been sold Is the only
reason why he has not had one before,
Seeing this great objection the Chicago
Scale Company did away with alllmiddle
men, (which 10 many cases cost more than
manufacturing the scale and nowtfurDish
scales to farmers who order Of them direct
at about one half former prices. AS the
large number of orders received enables
them to keep prices down, every one
needing a scale should avail himself Of
this opportunity to get the best scale
made, at the lowest price.
