How TIE House IS LIKELY TO STAND

nOM IHL nOSSE ID LlhEL1 III SIAND.-
The New York World Of yesterday says:
"The Congressional score In December
is very likely to be: Republicans, 145 !;
Democrats, 1874 and IA Independents. II
five OF these latter vote with the Republican
caucus and the remaining nine and the
straight Democratic congressman vote
together, the score on organization would
stand $50 Republicans and 143 Democrats.
But OF the five Independents only one
Hyatt Smiths certain or likely to vote with
the Republican caucus. In such case the score
would stand: Republicans, 146, and regu-
lar and independent Democrats and Green.
hackers, 147. If Republican successors
follow Miller aud Morton the score would
stand Republicans, 14S; all others, l45.
1t will therefore be seen that Ia Miller's aud
Morton's districts the real contest arises,
and with excellent nominations, with har-
mony aud with proper advantage taken OF
the Half. Breed and Stalwart differences, the
Democrats ought TO win those districts"

Well Said.

Ignoring the fact that all OF the directors
OF the penitentiary are Democrats, the Re-
adjuster BLAIR, In his speech last Monday
at Harrisonburg, claimed that his party had
made the penilentiary sei-suppOrting, or
nearly so. The increase ia the number OF
the public schools.for the year 1SS0JSL is
also, he says, a Readjuster measure -
though the ReSdjusters had nothing to do
with establishing the public schools that we
have ever heard OF. The Valley Virginidn
"sils down" on Mr.. BLAIR as follows:
"He [Blairl stated that there were now
fifteen furnaces 10 blast In Southwestern
Virginia, where before there were but
three, and claimed that it was the policy
and the politics OF the ReSdiusiers which
had encouraged cap talists TO Invest in
them. Without knowing anything OF the
facts, we venture the assertion that every
dollar Of foreign capital placed in these
furnscss Is the money OF Republicans, aud
that every man the money represents Is op.
posed not only TO the Riddleberger bill but
10 the Rea0juster faction"
This latter is no doubt a true statement.
We have never met with or heard of one Of
those men who have invested their money
In railroads in Virginia who is Readjuster.
We don't believe there is Readius,er In
the CLARKE syndicate that bought the At
iantic, Mississippi and Ohio road, nor in the
Danyiile railroad syndicate, which controls
fifteen hundred miles OF railroad 10 the in
terests OF Richmond, nor 10 the Chesapeake
and Ohio Company, which has so blessed all
OF both Virglniss, nor 10 the Richmond and
Allegheny Railroad Company, which is now
seeking to bind Ohio and Illinois to Virginia
and to open new railroad from the lakes to
the Atlantic. Such men all discountensnce
and frcwn down reputation in every form.
Rlcbmond's manufacturers sell twenty mill
lions OF dollars worth of their work every
year. How many OF them are Resdjustersy

The Agony Over.

The telegraph last night announced the
election OF Mr.. LAPHAN as senator from New
York. The afternoon dispatches had fore
Swallowed this result, and it will hardly sur
prise anybody. Compared TO Mr.. CONK.
LING intellectually and as an orator, he is as
a dwarf to giant. No public man in this
generation has lost more power and prestige
than has the Utica statesman III the short
space OF four months. 1t remains to be
seen whether he will ever again become a
great power in politics.
