TIE HOUSE IN 1881.


As the political complexion of the present
House of Representatives is fixed beyond
dispute, aud the Democrats have assured
control until the 4th of March, 1881, speeu-
lstion is now turning upon the prospects, of
the parties in the House whose term com
mences in 1881 aud ends in 1858.
A Washington correspondent of Repub-
lican paper furnishes some statistics which
do not make the outlook for the Republicans
appear very favorable.
OF the 293 Representatives in Congress,
1S7 come from the old free States, and log
from the old slave States. In the present
Congress, chasing all the members as Repub-
licans aud Democrats, tho former have 1875
from the Northern and S from the Southern
States. while the Democrats have 81 from
ths Northern and 101 from the Southern
States. Now it takes l4T to constitute a
bare majority. If the Republicans could
carry all the districts in the North there
would be no trouble, but the correspondent
has been over the election statistics for the
past ten years by districts, and finds that of
the one hundred and eighty>seven Northern
districts, forty. eight arc Democratic at all
times and under all circumstances. This
would leave the Republicans one hundred
and thirty nine in the States where they now
have but one hundred aud twenty six. To
get that increase of thirteen members they
would DO compelled to devote all their encr-
gies to tho North, but that would leave them
still eight members to secure in the South,
where they now have five. These five are as
many as they are likely to get in the presen at
condition of politics in that section. There
will very likely good many Indepen.
dents elected to the House from the South,
but they will act with the Democrats in Con-
