rBY TELEGRAPH To THE rRIBUSE
WASHINGTON, July 18.-From advices received
at the headquarters Of the National Republican
Congressional Committee in this city, it is learned
that the prospects seem favorable for the success
of one independent candidate for Congress in each
of the following States Virginia, North Carolina,
Mississippi and Texas. Hopes are also entertained
that the Republicans will carry three OF four dis
tricts in Louisiana, two in Tennessee two IN North
Carolina, one in Virginia, and one In Maryland.
Independent contests will probably begin next
moath, with prospects of success in Florida, Ala
bama aud Arkansas.
The campaign is starting up pretty vigorously in
Name where Messrs. Blaine Hale, Frye and Reed
will soon be heard from. The reports Of these
ments WILL it is expected, awaken the business
world to the fact that the country is the Of
election of vast Importance to the commercial in
terests. The Greenbackers in Maine, according to
the committees information, are more noisy than
numerous, since the adoption by Congress of Rep
resentatlve Forts resolution prohibiting the
further retirement of greenbacks. There is small
rOom for Greenback party proper, and the Re-
publicans who were at first inclined to go off with
that movement say the Republican party is now
good enough Greenback party for them.
The gerrymandering in Ohio renders the reduc-
ton of the Republican delegation from that State
in October nearly certain. In Indiana, the
Nationals and Greenbackers will disturb both
parties about equally and the result there in 0ctO-
Der will not be taken as test of party strength in
tina country generally.
In the West the nominations have not all been
made and consequently the campaign cannot be
said to have fairly begun. The currency question,
however, viii undoubtedly be the prevailing issue
Of the canvass, and the call the committee from
all parts of the country is for documents upon
financial subjects chiefly.
Gentlemen who have Just arrived from South Car
DINA say that the work of recognizing the Repub-
liean party in that State is being carried forward
quietly and very successfully. The enrolment
system has been adopted, aud local leaders have
already secured full lists Of the Republican voters
in each of the counties. ExCOngressman Elliott IS
the recognized leader of the party in the State. IL
is believed that the Republicans will experience no
difficulty in returning three out of the five Con-
gressmen; they also have an even chance for
fourth member. i. ~ Brayt0n, the Internal Rev
enue Collector of the State WILL IN all probability
lead in the Congressional race in the Columbia Dis
trict, and EX-COngTessman GOss. of Union County,
will be candidate in the Spartansburg District
Messrs. Cain, Smals and Rainey will be candidates
for reelection. The recent warfare upon the Re
publican municipal members-elect at Summerville
was instituted TO prevent the Republicans from
making an effort to win in the approaching Con-
gressOnal canvass, but it Is not likely 20 succeed
unless the murders and intimldatlOns Of 1875 are
again TesOrted TO.
