says: The concurrent testimony of
our correspondents, who have eX-
amined party prospects in the Con.
gressional districts of various
States, is that solid gains will be
made in the Republican delegation
to be elected this fall. In Ohio the
Republicans expect to gain six
Representatives; in Indiana at
least two; in Pennsylvania proba-
bly, two; and even in North Caro-
lima, which has at present but one
Republican Representative, there
is fair chance of carrying three
districts. Starting in Vermont with
a Republican gain of one district,
and with the prospect OF returning
twenty to thirty seats throughout
the North, the political complex
ion of the new House is hardly o
matter of doubt.
The same paper, reviewing the
Glancey-Gray (McGinnis) affair,
says there seems to be no doubt
that McGinnis is a coarse, brutal
ruflian, and SO manifestly unfit to
hold the District Attorneyship OIL
any other office of trust or decency
that it was the plain duty of Clan.
cey, an Independent Republican, to
declare his nworthiuess to the
party.

New YORK, Oct. 7th.-The Com,
merci0t Bulletin says: The posses
sion of the Panama Railroad Is a
sine qua non to the construction OF
the Panama canal, as it affords the
necessary working basis. 1t will,
however, cost the canal company
seventy millions of francs, which,
with the payment to Lieutenant
Wyse of ten millions of francs, will
absorb eightNmillions of the four
hundred millions of stock which,
according to Paris advices, it is
proposed to issue, leaving only
three hundred and twenty millions
towards the cost of the work, which
Lesseps's engineers estimated at
eight hundred and forty millions
of francs, and numerous other ex.
penditures amounting to fully
tn, ee hundred millions.

a soldier was beyond criticism and
that Grant would be very foolish
