The election of 1877 over, to congress will
II eyes turn to witness the course of political
vents in America. Questions of vital inter-
st are pressing for settlement, and the dis

Internal improvements, Civil-Servlc Reform,
nd Mexican Border Troubles &C., are among
hose which must largely occupy the public

ources of the West and South, by means of
II improved condition of river and railroad
transportation tacilities-the utilization ofun-
mployed labor in needed public works-the
Encouragement of immigration to the fertile

ional rs well as of local concern. Scarcely
ess important is the support of all measures,
" whomsoever originated, aided or indorsed,
living to the Southern states full and free
ontrol OF their own ailairs-the only policy
eading TO permanent peace. The state leg
slatures, especially to elect United States
enators, will also be invested with interest,
upon them and the elections of 1878 will
evolve the decision as to whether the reins
