rapidly as railroads could bring them.
az was surrounded by these men, who
we're ardent Republicans, and especially
by the friends of Hayes. Ono gentleman
particularly, Gov. Noyes of Ohio was I'M
derstood to represent and speak with the
authority of a warm personal friend, com
n,issioned with power to act in his behalf.
These men referred to tho general de-
struction of the country should Tilden be
elected, the intense anxiety ofthe Repub-
licaus of tho North and their full sympa-
thy with us.
81 cannot say how far my action may
have been influenced by the excitement
that prevailed, nor how far my partisan
zeal may have led inc into error; neither
can say how far my course was lntiu-
enced by tho promise made by Noyes,
that if Hayes became President I should
be rewarded"

/ Leaving out Senator Davis,'of Illinois,
it will be seen that there ara mine soma
torships over each of which q stout con-
test is in evitable. In Connecticut and In
disna the Democratic prospects are decid-
edly better than those Of theft opponents,-
and thsy are equally good in New York.
whilo in the event of continued Repub-
lican faction fights they will be as g5od tn
any of tho States naNsd: The election
of four D.em ocrats o,it Of the nihe is as
little ;.s need be expected This would
give the Democrats fosty-fou 1nenibers'
in the next Senate against thirty ono Re-
publicans.
All analysis Of the vote in the Con-
grcssional districts at the lnst election
shows that the suggestion that the
CHARGES in tho House were largely in ia
vor Of tho Democrats does not convey the
idea of the great superiority Of tho Dem
ocratic chances over those of their oppo-
nents. In fact might almost be said
that the Repitbli cans have absolutely no
chance whatever of carrying the House.
The Democrats have three times tho
number of absolutely safe districts which
the Republicans have, whils the number
Of districts which went Republican at
the past election but arc ''shaky," is
much larger than the corresponding
number on the other side. The following
table classifying the districts by the Re-
, publican or Democratic luaiorities which,
according to tho official canvass they
gave at the last election, will make this

After ten years Of stubborn resistance
to Spain, the insurgents in Cuba have
laid down their arms This voluntary
surrender Of the Cubans is of great inter
est to the United States As we'll as to
Spain and to the island itself. The con
dtions made are favorable to the popula-
ton Of Cuba. There is complete amnes-
ty for the insurgents and their abettors.
Freedom for fugitive slaves, and enamel
patton for all within five years. An i'm
provement in the local government is
promised, and Cuba is to have represen-
tatives in the Spanish Cortes, freely elect
ed by itself and is to be put on equality
with the home provinces Of Spain

Two designs have already been made
for the new dollar. Both are very pretty.
and the few coins that have been struck
in the mint for the benefit OF the congress
sional committees are exceedingly attrac-
tive in appearance. The diverse Of one
Of the designs. which with a few altera-
tons, will probably be accepted, has a
beautiful head Of Liberty, a firm and
expressive profile, with luNuriant hair,
crowned with the traditional cap and
coronet, with shafts Of wheat. Above
the head is the motto: "E Pluribus
Unum." Below is the date, ''lo7s." On
the reverse is an eagle with uplitted
wings, two stars, in Il semi circle the
words 'United States OF America" and
beneath them, "In God We Trust while
below the eagle is stamped cone Dollar"
The other design is similar, but less ar
tistic.
