The New York Times, with characteristic
enterprise, has been collecting reliable infor-
matt on in respect to the crops Of the entire
country. 1t published, one day last week,
reports from honty-nine States and one Ter
ritory, sent, in some cases, from six, eight,
or ten points in single States. These reports
omit no crop or product of commercial i'm
portance and no section of country whose fer
tility entities it to notice. The information
has in many cases been furnished By the Off
GERS of local agricultural societies, or is based
on their observations. The sum total of these
reports is extraordinarily favorable. The
first week in May has not for years
seen the crops of the country in
so advanced condition and making
such gratifying promises of abund-
ant yield. An exceptionally open Winter,
followed by an early Spring, has se< forward
planting and sowing by from three to five
weeks kindly rains have been sent. and de-
structive storms withheld in most sections,
and the young blades and buds are now
chiefly past the danger of late frosts. OF
insect pests, whose ravages have been so
fatal to the farmers prosperity in years
past, few are reported to be active this sea-
son. At no seed time for twenty years have
the farmers felt so hopeful of great harvests.
This is information of the highest impor-
tancc, and should form material factor in
the revival OF business throughout the
country.

As there is little likelihood that any new
or improved method of settling a disputed
National election will be enacted, the COM
position of the next Congress becomes of
double importance. Ii there is no election
by the people the House will elect the Presi-
dent. IL there IL & disputed election, it will
probably be settled by another electoral
commission, constituted by the controlling
party iu Congress. 1t is, unfortunately, cer-
tain that the Democrats will soon control
the Senate. The terms Of 2j Senators, II
Republicans and Democrats, expire on the
4th of next March. Twelve of these seats
are sure to be filed by Democrats from
Alabama, Arkansas, California, Florida,
Georgia, Kentucky, louisiana, Maryland,
Missouri, North Carolina, Ohio and South
Carolina; FIVE are sure for the Republicans
from Colorado, Iowa. Kansas, New Hamp-
shire and Vermont. This will give the
Democrats 40 of the &c members, and ma
jority the size Of which will depend on which
party carries the Legislatures in the other
eight States of Connecticut, Illinois, Indiana,
Nevada, New York, Oregon, Pennsylvania
and Wisconsin. The Republicans stand
the best chance in most of these
States and the probabilities arc that the
Democratic majority will not exceed Il and
not be less than 6.
About the control of the next House there
is more doubt. A change Of eight members
would reverse the Democratic majority and
replace the Republicans in power. In
thirteen Republican districts, and in fifteen
! cts represented by Democrats, the ma
- the last election fell below FIVE
red. of these fifteen, eight had less
than one hundred majority for the Demoera-
cy, and three of these are held by the present
House unseating the Republicans who were
honestly elected. These eight districts
are as follows, viz: Fourth California,
Eighteenth Illinois, Sixth Indiana, First
New Hampshire, Second Ohio, Fourth
OuiO, inilecntn anu Isl sl1utetHtu Ttuu-}l
vania. There is hope that the Republi-
cans may carry all Of these districts,
and if they can hold their own, in the dis
tricts now represented by Republicans, one
branch of Congress may yet be saved from
the spoils of Democracy.
The Republicans may lose the next House
and still keep their majority of the States.
The Democrats now hold seventeen States,
the Republicans have nineteen States, and
California and Florida are equally divided.
The Democrats are certain to lose Colorado
and probably also Connecticut. They will
probably gain two States-Florida and South
Carolina. New Jersey, where they now
have majority, is doubtful. They must
carry New Jersey, Oregon and Ohio in order
to secure nineteen States, which, with one
or two States evenly divided, would enable
them to elect the President, if the election
should go to the House. But it is conceded
that Ohio can only be carried by the Demo
Gratis By redistrieting, and the project to re-
district was voted down last week in the
Ohio Legislature and is likely to fail.
