GENERAL.

The National Liberal League met at Gin
cinnati on the 18th, about 500 delegates be-
ing present, representing nearly every State
III the Union. A preliminary declaration and
platform was adopted. 1t is very long, and
resolves, among other things, that the gen.
eral motive of the National Liberal party is to
realize more fully than has ever vet been
done the main object of Government by the
people as expressed in the Declaration of
Independence and preamble Of the COnstitu
ton of the United States; that to secure
these purposes new party is necessary to
administer and reform the whole Ma
tiOnal and State Governments. The
principles enunciated are-eqral and exact
justice to all men, of whatever state or per-
suasion, religion or politics; peace, COM
Iilerce and honest friendship with all nations,
but entangling alliances with none; the sup
port of the State Governments in all their
rights rs the most competent administrators
of our domestic concerns and the surest bull
warks against anti-republican tendencies;
the preservation of the General Government
i'm its whole constitutional vigor; freedom of
religion, of the press, and of persons; pro-
lection of the habeas corpus and trial
by juries impartially selected Labor
reforms of various kinds are asked for
and legislation against tramps condemned.
Reforms in the currency, in the Use and oc-
cupation of lands, female emancipation, uni
versal compulsory secular education, the
election of all public officers directly by the
people, the repeal of all sabbath, sumptuary
and temperance laws are also demanded.

says: "There were a very few Union SOL

soldiers of North Carolina, will be, in fact, a
Confederate reunion, where Iwoud certain

cial reunions glorify their deeds of heroism,
and this reunion will hardly be an exception,
and it would be strange sight for Gen.
Sherman to cheer the victories of his enemies
and respond to the claim that, because the
soldiers of North Carolina were brave and
true to their State and section, their cause
was sacred as ours, which finally triumphed
and made our Union more glorious and more
respondent than before"

POLITICAL STATUS OF THE HOUSE.

Probable Strength of Each Party In tb.
House of Representatives.
from the Philadelphia Times Qnd. -Dem0.1
The election of four Republicans to
Congress from California is now conceded,
and the close condition of parties in the
House attracts very general attention. All
the members of the present Congress are
now chosen, with the exception of vacancy
in the Westchester District of New York, oc-
casiOned by the death of Alexander Smith,
Republican, who died on the day he was
elected, and a vacancy in Iowa, occasiOned
by the death of Rush Clark, Republican, who
died during the late extra session. Both
these vacancies will be filed at the fall cleo
tions-that in Iowa in October, and that in
New York in November. The New York
district is strongly Democratic, having given
Tilden 1854 votes to 9,574 for Hayes, and
having elected ClarkSon Potter to Congress
in 1876 by 4,9l9 majority; but Smith, Repub-
lican, was elected in 1878 by n plurality,
through large Greenback diversion. II Is
reasonably certain that Democrat will be
chosen, unless the internal dissensiOns of the
Democracy throw it away. A Republican
will doubtless be elected in Iowa TO succeed
Clark, as the district gave Clark S,19O ma
jority in 1876 and 2,194 in 1878. Assuming
that the two members TO he elected will be in
accord with the overwhelming political sem
timent Of the districts, the House will stand
as follows when it meets in December:
