The day before and the day after
the Congressional elections we
gave it a. our opinion that, when
everything had settled down, the
Republicans would prove to have,
at the outside, only one hundred
Sud twenty-five members of the
next House Of Representatives,.
From the following, which we take
from the New York Sun, of Nov.
goth, 1t will be seen that the Re.
publican membership will be, at
the most, one hundred and twenty.
seven. We estimated the Labor
and Greenback mem bership at from
ten to sixteen. We find that there,
again, we hit the matter between
wind and water" The Sun says:
According to the latest returns,
the Democrats Will have Isl, the
Republicans 1877, and the Green
hackers 10 in the new House. It is
only fair to assume that the vacan-
cy In this State will be filled by a
Republican, as the district was car
ried by Republican at the late
election. This would raise the Re-
publican column to 128. It Is use.
less to speculate about California,
because OF the uncertain action of
the third party there, which may
capture two districts. Dividing the
delegation as at present, the result
would be: Democrats, 1853; Repub.
licans, $50, and Nationals, 10. In
this estimate the Greenbacker from
Indiana and the two from Maine
are placed under that head, though
assigned to the Democratic column
by their partizan papers. On po-
litical questions separate from the
currency. the Greenbackers may be
expected to vote according to their
past partialities, and six Of the ten
will doubtless side with the Demo.
Gratis. leaving the Greenback
factor out OF view, the Democrats
would have, according to this estl-
mate, . plurality Of % over the Re-
publicaus, and a majority of l3
over the Republicans aud Green
hackers combined, or exactly the
same number they had at the open
ing of the present Congress, before
the contested seats were considered.
There are two or three districts yet
hanging by the eyelids, but of |
course the Democrats, after getting
possession Of the House, will follow
in the footsteps Of Republican pre-
cedent, and decide them in their
own favor. Altogether, when
things settle down, and the lines
are drawn tightly, the Democratic
majority in the House will proba-
bly, fail between fifteen and twenty.

The Seed.COttOn Traffic.
COlfax Chronicle.

Among the many evils that have
served to create trouble in Grant par
ish uone have been more prolific than
dealing in seed cotton. TO the uniniti-
ated it seems odd that it could make
much difference in q community
whether cotton is bartered for in tho
seed, as lint, or after-i is baled and,
az a matter of right, it cannot be dis
puted that the farmer is entitled t"
DISPOSE OF his cotton in any shape
that he chooses 80 to do, and it IS
neither the duty nor province of any
one to prevent him. Winnie this is
all true, it is just as true that no man
has the right to dispose of what law
fully belongs to another. And it is
on this point that the matter hinges
1t is customary for our merchants to
let out hundreds of dollars worth OF
dry goods and groceries, tor supplies
and take privilege claim on tho
growing crop. 1t is also customary
in the fall of tho year for little shops
to he put up 10 convenint Places ana
10 these shops a sack Of secl-cottou
passes current as 80 much money.
No questions are asked as to the titlo
to the cotton, and it is all dumped
into one common pile. 10 this way
it sometimes happens that an entire
crop is spirited out of sight, and tho
merchant has to whistle for his pay.
|Auother bad feature Of this thing Is
that tho sack of cotton not unfre-
quently is stolen property.
At its last meeting our Police Jury
were petitioned to take some meas
ures to put stop to traffic in seed
cotton, and q license of $3.50 was pro-
posed. But it was held by some that
. this would serve but to throw mo.
D noply into few hands, while others
: held that they had no right to dictate
: in what manner man shall dispose
of his cotton.
That If q man steals cotton he is a
. thief, is plain enough, aud that ma''
y who knowingly purchases stolen cot
y ton is 90 better, is plain PROPOSE
u ton to our mind; but tho trouble Is
~ cotton can not be identified like
70 horse or other property, and whe'
IL once it is off place, that is the las
y of it. No man can swear to his ow
cotton.
u a Here is nut for our next Lesisla
" tute to crack.
