TIE HOUSE OF REPRESENTA-
TIVES

The organization OF the House OF Rep
resentatives is the next important move
on tine political chess board.
1t is stated that the official register oil
the House will show ~ Republicans;
1876 Democrats; . GreeEbackers; ! indie
pendent.
There are five vacancies TO be filled at
the elections next week. The results,
however, are not expected to make any
change in the political complexion OF
the body, unless it be that Democrat
i chosen from the Eleventh district OF
New York, to the seat of LEVI p. Nor
TON.
Ia the latter event the Republicans
will lack one of a majority OF the whole
House. They can probably make up
the necessary deficiency, however, from
the GreenbaCkers. Their operations in
the Senate show that they DO not stand
on trifes when political bargain is 20
4 be struck.
/ The candidates for Speaker are quite
/ numerous, each section Of the Union
having one or more aspirauts. The
East has only one prominent name
mentioned, HIsCOCE, OF New York
while from the West, kAssoN, OF Iowa,
DuNSELL, OF Minnesota, and hEIFER, OF
Ohio, are seriously spoken OF. The
East has an advantage in having but one
candidate, but 1t labors under the bur-
den OF an Eastern President. The West
has the more Republican members, and
claims the Speakership on the ground
that the President and Speaker ought I,
come from different parts OF the cOun
try. Ii that section desires the honor
it is evident that some arrangement
must be made by whicn Western Re
pub!icans can unite upon either kss
son, DrNNEIL or kEIFER, the only prom
inent asplrants.
None OF the names suggested Tor tn
Speakership have more than L sectiona
reputation, II is regarded as decided,
a "sCrub race.

An exchange says that 4 number OF
Eastern business men, who have trav-
e,yd extensively in the West, aSctr-
tanned by thorough investigation that,
while the corn crop has been very poor,
the recent rains have brought ont pas
ture growth afresh and to such an ex-
tent rs to more than Offset the short
corn crop. An open winter is univer'
sdly looked for, and in the event of this
expectation being realized, next spring
will lind the agritulturists and cattle
raisers ahead, with new boom" on
hand, despite the present loss OF short
aye on crops; the corn and oats needed
ior food ior cattle, hogs. etc. will be
more than supplied in value by the
spring wheat planted on tie ground so
well prepared by the recent storms.

A FRESH START FOR THE w, T
& G.. RAILROAD.

The W, P. * C.. Railroad project ap-
pears to have taken on some fresh en-
thusiasm since the meeting at Parkers-
burg, the other day.
The people of that city, especially are
manifesting new zeal in carrying lot
ward the preliminary preparations lot
the road.
We see no reason, however, why
there should have been such 4 luli IN
active operations US has existed Tor
some time prior to the meeting, Inc
delay OF the engineer in locating the
route may have been largely responsible
for this, vet the right kind OF energy
and determination would not have per-
mitted this.
Now, it is hoped the all important
matter OF the right OF way will be push
ed forward with all possible dispatch.
We understand that Col. ROBERT WHITE,
OF this city, has been commissioned oy
the company for this work, and we hive
no doubt, ii given sufficient latitude "e
will 20 into it with his accustomed
energy and finish it with due dispatch.
IL is true that railroads are not butt
in day, but when we consider the vast
importance of this road and that It's sue
cess greatly depends on dispatch, both
by reason of that being one OF the condt'
tons upon which the money IS to be
furnished, and the TACT that rival line
is being pushed forward on the ONO
side OF the river, no mere trltilng or IN
necessary delays should have been toll
Grated, but every moment OF the sum-
mer season should have been assldu-
ously improved.
We 10 not make these comments III
fault finding spirit, but rather with
view of impressing upon all concerned
the importance of dispatch in order 10
make up the lost time OF the past sea-
son. We believe there is latent inter
est in this enterprise that VIII not a!to"
!, TO fail unless it be in counting too
confidently On the future. 1t is well
that what is to be done, be done quickly.
The necessary means is pledged. And
there have sprung up, since the project
first opened, increased inducements to
the building of the road. But all these
opportunities, nevertheless, are depend
ent on the degree OF speed with which
il IS now pushed TO a consummation.
