ACCORDING to the latest returns, the
Democratic will have Isl, the Republicans
l127, and the Greenbackers 10 in the new
House. 1t is only fair to assume that the
vacancy In New York wi be filled by a
Republican, as the district was carried BY
a Republican majority at the late election.
This would raise the Republican column
to 1913. 1t is useless to speculate about
California, because Of the uncertain ac-
tion of the third party there. which may
capture two districts. Dividing the dele
CATION as at present, the result would be :
Democrats, 1873; Republicans, 1870; 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 col
umn by their partisan papers. On politi-
cal questions separate from the currency,
the Greenbackers ma ybe expected to vote
according to their past partialities, and
six of the ten will doubtless side with the
Democrats. Leaving the Greenback fac
tor out Of view, the Democrats would
have, according to this estimate, plu-
rality of % over the Republicans, and
majority of l3 over the Republicans and
the Greenbackers combined, or exactly
the same number they had at the opening
of the present Congress, before the con-
tested seats were considered. There are
two or three districts yet hanging by the
eyelids, bat Of course the Democrats, af-
ter getting possession of the House, will
follow in the footsteps of Republican pre-
cedent, and decide them in their own ia
vor. Altogether, when things settle down
and the lines are drawn tightly, the
Democratic majority in the House will
probably fall between fifteen and twenty.

ONE MoUCAUD, aged fifty-six, and his
wife Caroline, aged thirty-seven, have
been imprisoned at Louhans, France,
upon charge of murder. Moucaud had
three wives and thirteen or fourteen
children, five being by the present wife.
He is accused of having murdered the
two first wives and most of the children
including one born before his arrest. His
wife accuses him with having strangled
the infant the night after its baptism, anc
he charges her with having poisoned the
two previously born. Only two children
remain of the three marriages, and evi

A Washington despatch is as follows !:
at is understood that the Potter COM
mittee will not meet here until after the
reassembling Of Congress. The Demo-
cratic members of the committee are now
considering whether witnesses should be
summoned in connection with the cipher
dispatches recently published, and it is
very probable that all the persons con-
nected with their publication win be
called to appear before the committee
with the original dispatches. 1t is be-
lieved that the Democrats will decide
upon this course, and cause to be issued
subpoena duces tecum, before Congress
reassembles, SO as to prevent the Repub-
licans from gaining possession of the
dispatches through committee of the

Sheriff to bring him into court. His wife

mond, counsel for the prisoner, asked for
a new trial; first, on the ground that the
Court had made an erroneous ruling as to
matters of law; that the deposition OF
Hickerson was improperly admitted; that
the Court refused to instruct the jury that
the witness who made one false statement
is to be distrusted in all. Counsel stated
that the point as to the non-reading of the
indictment could not properly be argued
upon a motion of this kind. Judge Gran
ger, for the State, briefly stated that the
counsel for the people thought no error
had been committed, unless it was a mere
oversight, which worked no harm to the
defendant. The Court took the motion
under advisement, and rsmanded the pris-
