The election of 1877 over, to congress will
all eyes turn to witness the course of political
events in America. Questions of vital inter-
est are pressing for settlement, and the dis
cussion bids fair to be prolonged and absorb
ing. The subjects of Finance, Pacitication,
! Internal improvements, Ciyil-Servic Reform,
and Mexican Border Troubles, &c, are among
those which must largely occupy the public
mind The proper development of the re-
sources ofthe West and South, by means of
an improved condition ofriver and railroad
transportation facilities-the utilization ofun-
employed labor in needed public wdrks--the
encouragement of immigration to the fertile
| lands OF the Great West. are matters of ma
| tional as well as of local concern. Scarcely
less important Is the support of all measures,
by whomsoever originated, aided or indorsed,
giving to the Southern states Il full and free
control of their own aflnirs-thc only policy
| leading to permanent peace. The state leg
islaturcs, especially to elect United States
| senators. will also be invested with Interest,
| MS upon them and the elections of 1873 will
devolve the decision as to whether the rens
of political power shall continue to be held
by the Republican party, the tenure of that
| power now hanging by but a slendcy thread.
| Upon these and kindred subjects the Re-
! publican which gives an earnest advocacy to
, the principles of the constitutional Democra-
cy, will always be found battling in the ranks
