urged that should he now go back to the people he would undoubtedly be reelected by as large a majority as before and the result would be rather to add to his power and popularity ill the Territory.

 The case of Smyth against Robertson, Sixth Louisiana District, will be dis missed by the committee at it's session, to-day. This, with the contested cases of Lanier against King, Third Louisiana, and Matterson against Oates, Third Alabama, were dismissed upon the Crder voted by the committee not ts go in,o case in which the contestant does not claim to have received an actual m ior- ity of votes put into the ballot boxes, the claim only being made that intimidation prevented a free election, which would have resulted in the election contested. The contestants, however, in each of the above cases will file a memorial asserting that the seating members should be un- seated because of improper and Illegal practice at elections. The same course will be pursued as 10 several other con tests which will be in turn dismissed by the Committee on Elections.
 New owners of the Repubhcan.
 CHICAGO, February 15.-A Washington special says, the following Board were elected under the new ownership of the Republican: Hollett Kilbourn, Geo. C. Gorham, Frank Hatton, F. B. Conger, Wm. 4. Patton, Robert G. Dun and Geo. Bliss. The new names in the directory are, Frank Hatton, of Iowa; First Asst. Postmaster General, Wm. A. Patton, of New York, representing some New York capitalists; Robert G. Dun, and George Bliss, of New York, a large capitalist, active lawyer and lifetime personal friend of President Arthur; the man who is supposed to know more secrets of the administration than any member of the Cabinet, and who has been ap- pointed by the President as special counsel to take charge of the star route cases. It remains to be seen whetherIl this paper will pursue the same course | toward the star route prosecutions that 1t has from the beginning. It would be l curious to see a newspaper of which l Geo. Bliss Is trustee, and has control of ! the stock of which he is supposed to \ have acquired, attacking the star route | prosecution of which he is himself | chief. There are those who say it never ! has been the intention of the admins | tration to press the star route suits. ] Evidently General MacVeagh is one of | those who hold this view Possibly the course of the Republican will solve this problem.
