A VoIcE From THE SouTH.-General
Joseph Il. Johnston, the able and gal
liant soldier who has been elected to
Congress FROM the Richmond district,
has been interviewed and found to be,
like the other leador0 Of the war,
sound to the Union as it is and shall
remain. He said, among other things :
"The South is now as close part OF
the Union ae is New England. Yir.
ginia has the same interest in the gen
eral prosperity of the country as Mass
achusetts, and her Representatives and
tho Representatives Of the South will
be found TO be as active in support of
all measures tending to the general
good OF all sections OF the country as
the gentleman tom Maine or Yer.
mont"

Nor A GREEN BoDY.-Tho Cincin.
natl Enquirer, in alluding to the com.
position oi the next House, says. There
seems TO be an erroneous impression
that the iorty-sixth Congress will large
iy be made up OF new members, and
that the changes will be fully equal to
those which occurred when the Demo.
Gratis succeeded to the control OF the
lower House in the Forty fourth Con.
grcss. This, however, is not borne out
by the facts. Tho Republicans have
elected to the iorty-sixth Congress 60
members holding seats in the Forty.
fifth, and the Democrats 81. which
will make a total Of 1863 old members
IN the new Congress. In addition there
are ten or fifteen members elect who
have bad previous service in the House
OF Representatives. ante.dating the ex.
istenco of the present Congress. So
that, in point of fact, the Forty.sixth
Congress will by no manner Of means
be a green one.

CoMISa HOME TO Roosr.-The cdi.

chicken story in bis eye while elabo-
rating the recent election returns,
chimes in after this manner: "This in.
dignation expressed by Republican or.

States, reminds us Of Honest John
Covodc,' OF Pennsylvania, who once
told his co-partlsans in Philadelphia of
the infamous, swindling methods EN-.
ployed by the Democrats in his dis.

his horror of such proceedings, Hon.

exclaimed at the end of the story, But,

after, when Congressman from the
South got their seats by vote of the

there are chords in tho human heart no
difference how palpable the larceny of
the Presidency may seem to the out

brought in the hymbooks and reques

"Show pity, Lord, oh, pity show" with
such patbos that Hayes "wept like a

that it wept on either occasion. These

WHAT THEY AMOUNT TO An ex-
change says "Thc official returns of
the election in eleven Congressional
districts IN this State, outside of Phila-
delphia, show that union of the Dem.
ocratic and Greenback vote would have
defeated the following named eight sue
cessful Republican candidates, viz
Killnger, Mitchell, Fisher, Errett, ,Shal.
lenberger, White, Dick and 0smer,
and that a union OF the Republican and
Greenback vote would have defeated
the following named three successful
Democratic candidates, viz: Ryon,
Coffroth and Wise The foregoing
result is as apparent as the nose on a
mans face. The Democratic Green
hacker loaned himself to Cameron,
Quay and Co., to elect ElG HT, out Of
eleven Congressman, in this State, for
the exclusive use of the Radical party.
