THE HOUSE IN 1851.

AS the political complexion of the
present House of Representatives. is
fixed beyond dispute, and the Demo-
Gratis have assured control until the
4th of March, 1881, speculation is
now turning upon the prospects
of the parties in the House whose
term commences in 1881 and ends
in 1883.
A Washington correspondent OF a
Republican paper furnishes some
statistics which do not make the out
look for the Republicans appear very
favorable.
Of the 293 Representatives in Con-
gress, 1877 come from the old free
States, and 106 from the old slave
States. In the present Congress,
CHASING all the members as Repub-
fieans and Democrats, the former
have 126 from the Northern and 5
from the Southern States, while the
Democrats hare 81 from the North
ern and 101 from the Southern States.
Now it takes a47 to constitute bare
majority. 1.-THE Republicans could
carry all the districts in the North
there would be no trouble, but the
correspondent has been over the cleo
ton statistics for the past ten years
by districts, and finds that of the
one hundred and eighty-seven North
ern districts, forty eight ere Demo
cratic at all times and under all cir
cumstances. This would leave the
Republicans one hundred and thirty
nine in the States where they now
have but one hundred and twenty
ak To get that increase of thir-
teen members they would be com
PEELED to devote all their energies to
the North, but that would leave them
still eight members to secure in the
South, where they now have five.
These five are as TREY are likely to
get in the present condition OF poll
tics in that section. There will
very likely be good many indepen-
dents elected to the House from the
South, but they will act with the
Democrats in Congress on most po-
litical questions. and in the organi-
zasion. Register.

SOME WELL TIMED ADVICE
FOR DEMOCRATS.
DEC. Is, 1879.

DEC. Is, 1879.
Mr.. EDITOR Il see that Michael
Kelley, Chairman of our Democratic
State Committee, has called a meet
ing of said Committee, at Parkers-
burg, on the 9Th inst. Would it
not be well for our County Commit
tee to have meetings also, and re-
organize themselves, and then try
to organize the party for the coming
campaign? OF one thing | am very
sure, and that is we must get to
work or we will have cause to regret
our inaction.
Let every member Of the Execu
tive Committee, and every other sub
scriber to your paper consider him
self committee to get subscribers
for-not your-but our county pa
per-and see that it is well circulated
in the districts of the county. i am
glad to see you announce your inten
ton to increase its value and useful
ness. Will not all our Dem ocrats now
join and help you in the work.
Let US hear no oppositio n, for each
argument is aiding the enemy-and
that is his policy to divide US
but with past experiences before
us can we not be true to our inter
est and support our own men and
measures. This we must do if we
expect to succeed.
The plea that we can get cheaper
papers ought not to be made any ex
cuse for not patronizing and sustain
ing our own county paper. Such
papers as the World and others of
it's kind that throw out special in
ducements to get introduced are sell
dom to be relied on for service. Wit
ness now it's abuse of Tilden. i do
not propose to urge any preference
at this time for any office but only
say we never can succeed by warning
among ourselves. Without attempt
ing to vindicate Tilden, we must at
any rate admit that his cause was
our cause, and in no case could he
err so much or so gerously as
those that robbed the American peo-
pie of their franchise, and counted
in as Chief Magistrate q man not
elected to the office. This war among
onr ranks must stop. We must have
a good, thorough organization, and
stand firmly for Constitutional liberty
and the rights of all the people-and
not simply of one political party.
This can only be done by organizing
and instructing the masses through
the press and not by the politicians.
We have seen so many cases Of late
of politicians trimming their canvass
to try to suit the gale-and almost
every time the result was failure.
What l have heretofore said let me
in conclusion repeat, let us organize
thoroughly, and without delay, and
work for victory with full ranks, and
and profit by the lessons of the past,
or we may as we'll disband and give
up the struggle

The exodus fund in st. Louis has,
OF course, been dishonesty dealt
with. A newspaper in that city,
which is edited by colored mep, says
that the relief board has wasted the
money sent to help colored emigrants,
that the board voted hundreds of
dollars to themselves while the col
ored people were naked and starving.
There is nothing strange about this /;
it is the custom with all enterprises
Of this sort,
