The composition of the next House of
Representatives will probably be Repub-
dcans, 122; Democrats, 1879, and Inde-
Dendents, 4. The representation of the
Northern States is about even, there be-
ing 100 Republicans to 1O1 Democrats.
The Southern States send twenty-five
Republicans and ninety-eight Demo.
Gratis. Three of the Independents will
probably act with the Republicans
and one with thes Democrats. TGus
classified, the next House will stand 125
Republicans to 200 Democrats, giving
the latter a clear majority of IS. As a
larger majority will not be desirable, it
IS nOo probable in contested cases that
Republicans will be counted out for
mere political purposes.

A STARTLING report about the money
collected by the HubbelI Committee is
that it has been ascertained that of the
vast sum collected by far the larger part
has never found its way out of the pock-
cts of those to whom it was given to be
used in the campaign, and that of larger
sums given to certain persons t. special
ly affect doubtful districts, no trace can
be found, the inference being almost
conclusive that it was pocketed. In some
instances this inference is supported by
circumstances which leave scarcely any
doubt on the subject.

ONE week from next Monday the Robe
son Congress will meet again to finish
its legal existence. Never was repre-
sentative body more signally repudiated
at the hands of the people. A majority
of it's members and nearly all of its
leaders have been swept out. Speaker
Keifer has been saved as by fire, while
Robson, Page, Hazelton and others of
bis jObbing managers have been buried
beneath the waves of popular indigna-
tiOn and contempt never to rise agair.
Keifer will serve in the next Congress
rs frightful example of imbecility and
q warning to the Democratic majority
against extravaganza and the schemes
Of the public plunderers Of every rank
who infest the capitol.

A SPIRITED Congressional race was
that of Frederick, Democrat, against
Wilson, Republican, in the Fifth Iowa
district, in which there is a good Repub-
Hean majority. Mr.. Frederick is an
iron manufacturer and a revenue re.
former, while Mr.. Wilson, his opponent,
is politician and prOtectiOnist. The
issue of tariff for revenue only was
constantly presented by Mr.. Frederick,
who made his fight mainly thereon. The
result is in doubt, one account giving
Frederick a majority of II and another
placing Wilson % in the lead.

THE TENNESSEE BOND CASE The
Supreme Court of Tennessee has de-
clared invalid and unconstitutional the
act of hpri!, 1881, to compromise the
bonded Indebtedness at par and three
per cent interest, the coupons receiva-
Bile for taxes. The decision rests upon
the sole ground that the Legislature
could not make valid q contract making
coupons receivable for taxes fer ninety
nine years. In all other respects the
act is regarded as constitutional. Judge
TurDey and two other Judges support
the majority decision. Chief Justice
Deadrick and Judge Ewing give a
minority opinion, holding that the
Funding act was not void. and that the
Court has no power to review or reverse
the action of the General Assembly.
1t is thought that the Legislature will
quickly take up the subject and dispose
Uf it in way creditable to the State
and satisfactory to the bondholders.

A. Withers. James D. Campbell, B. F.

forenoon and formally presented the

dress, as follows:-
ut 10 with mingled feelings Of graft
fication and regret that I have the hon
or, madam, of presenting to you this
memorial of ex- Confederate suldiers of
Cincinnati. It is gratifying that we
can truthfully and feelingly unite our
voices In commentator of the lament
ed dead with those of many thousands
of q common people. The occasion
which calls for such sentiments il pain
full in its recollections, and as fully de-
plored by the people Of the South as
those of any other section of the coun5
try. The unanimity with which these
resolutions were passed, and the express
sions conveyed therein, speak more
than any words of mine, and you can
rest assured, madam, that in them is
voiced the tribute of all the old soldiers
of the South to the sterling worth of the
late President"
Mrs. Garfield, by great effort, re
pressed her emotion, while the aged
mother Of the late President wepr free
