House of Representatives in the Forty-eighth
Congress by a majority of II, the figures be-
ing, Republicans, 127 Democrats, 1913. They
have solid delegations from Alabama Arkan-
sas, Florida, Georgia, and Texas, and have
secured Representatives in Iowa and Michi-
gan, which have unbroken Republican del
egations in the Forty seventh Congress. BY
the new apportionment of congressman Cali
fornia's representation was increased from 4
to G, and the Democrats have elected 5, a loss
of to the Republicans and gain of 3 for
the Democrats. In Illinois the Democrats
gain members. The Democrats have more
than reversed the figures in Indiana, for
which the Republicans now have 8 out of IS
members, the Democrats have elected 0 out
of 10 in the next House. The Republican re-
verse in Michigan is complete. Instead of a
solid delegation of Republicans, the state
elects Democrats to 3 Republicans. In New
Jersey the ratio is just maintained each side
losing two and gaining two. The immortal
Robson is one of the slaughtered. A loss OF

This society met at Jamaica "Wednesday,
Nov Sth, the President, DIR. S. N. Bemis in
the chair. DIR. j. H. Stedman read an able
and instructive address on Aphasia. After a
brief statement of the various arrangements
of the powers Of speech, he gave a full and
comprehensive analysis of the causes that
produce aphasia, the duration, course and
termination. DR.. Gray gave the history OF
case of aphasia which from the first to the last
attack covered the space of 10 years-a Pc
culiar and remarkable case throughout, Drs.
Gregg and Terrell related cases of aphasia IL
Illustrating the difference in individual cases
A general discussion on aphasia followed, par
ticipated in by Drs. Joel Holton, Bemis, Sted-
man, Gregg, Hicks, Terrill and Ray. Dr.
Ray gave the medical history Of the case oil
Mrs. Charles Howe, who had been sick about
a year. The post norton showed that death
resulted from softening Of the brain. Dr.
Gregg reported a case of typhoid fever with
protuse perspiration, accompanied by rasn
that extended over the whole body, followed
by pneumonia. DR.. Joel Holton gave an &C.
count of large number of cases of diphtherla,
the successful treatment employed, and claim

quarter OF one per cent shall be laid upon the
reserve of lifa insurance companies, based
upon the business done in this state that the
present tax upon saving, banks shall be- left
as now, or raised to three quarters of one
per cent on large Deposits that the tax upon
express aud telegraph companies shall be left
so "a to raise about the same sum as now, in

We confess ourselves entirely unable to
sympathize with those people, Republicans
or Democrats, who glory in Buffers triumph
in Massachusetts,. The result in that state is
the one thing not easy to understand in the
whole result of Tuesdays elections. Why
worthy and unobjectionable man like Bishop
should have been beaten by 1900 votes,
while all the rest of his ticket was elected by
$4,000 majority, is problem which we have
not yet solved. There was no excuse for such
an overthrow. The old Bay State is well gov
erned, and there has been no corruption in her
state government. Butler will unquestionably
be shrewd enough to give the state an excel
lent administration, but his triumph is none
the less the triumph of the worst element in
our politics, and we may be sure that before
two years are gone by good many Republi-
cans who gave him their votes "just to see
what the old man would do" will wish they
had done otherwise

Charges and counter charges were made in a
manner not calculated to increase respect for
our highest judicial tribunal, and the charac-
ter Of tho vote will show how evenly the joint
assembly was divided without entering into
the merits of the question, il is unfortunate
that the court should be subjected to such an
arragnment aud enforces very strongly the
necessity Of some provision for more per-
manent judiciary. The contest was entirely
over tho chief justice, and, that matter being
settled, the other positions were filled by the
present ncumbents without opposition. The
speeches of Col. Walker and Mr.. Chids

The annual revenue of the Post Office De-
pArtment has doubled since 1871. For the
fiscal year ending June 3d. 1871, it was 500
O31 045; for the last fiscal year it was SAL
87G,41O For the three preceding years the
average annual increase of revenue was about
three millions of dollars the gain of last
year over that preceding was over five mil
lions, and the depart ment bases its estimates
on the maintenance of that rate of increase,
the receipts for the fiscal year ending in 1884
being placed at $jO,G7O, 45G. The revenue
of the department already exceeds that of the
mail service of any country in the world,
being ten millions of dollars more than that
of the United Kingdom. While receipts are
increasing at the rate of II per cent per an
mum, the exp enditures increase at the rate of
less than per cent. 1t is evident that with
careful and honest management the depart
ment will in few years become the source of
q very respectable revenue,

The bill for the Brattleboro IL Bennington
railroad charter still hangs fire in the Senate.
1t is needless to say that the people on the

great anxiety for its passage, and we may add
that they rely implicitly on the merits of the
measure to carry it through. 1t is bill sole
ly for the benefit of the people on the line of
the proposed road, and it does not purpose or
aim at the harm of any one Should it not
pass the Senate some very pointed questions
about the reason why will be asked by Brat
tleboro, Wilmington and other Windham
county people.

1t counts for but little in the general result,
but to the Republicans of this section it is
source of satisfaction that New Hampshire
was carried by the Republicans. 1t was the
worst possible policy to push Hale's candida
ture to the extent and in the way in which it
was done before the convention met, but the
opposition to him which developed after his
nomination was purely factional and personal,
and there was no good reason why he should
not be elected. His margin is small, but he is
elected by the people in spite of the fact that
his own county of Cheshire threw not less
than 1900 Republican votes against him.

Another Account OF the Election Of
Judges---An Exciting Scene.

A correspondent writing on Thursday morn
ing says For chief justice, Senator Hogan
OF Franklin nominated Homer E. Royce in a
few appropriate remarks. The nomination
was ably seconded, and for a moment it seem.
cd as if there would be no opposition but
before the president could put tho question
Senator Walker of Rutland arose and stated
some facts in relation to the tax law and the
effect of its violation by the chief justice of
the state, and expressed his indignation that
the Vermont Central railroad company should
appear here and for weeks constitute a pow
erful lobby in the interest Of Chief Justice
Royce, when a case involving s., O0O, 900 is
now pending before the supreme court, in
which that company was party. This
aroused the friends of Judge Royce, aud No
bic Of St. Adams very exctedly replied 10
Senator Walker, until becoming personal, he
was called to order by Senator Ide, when he
continued his remarks with much less ardor,
apparently thrown of his balance by the in
terruption. He was followed by Judge
Thompson, Burke Of Albany, Col Hooker.
Speaker Martin, and others, in defense Of
Judge Royce. Childs of Bennington said he
should vote against Judge Royce on account
OF his not making his inventory, and should
vote for Judge Redfed. After the fri, n1s of
Judge Royce had finished, Senator Walker
briefly replied TO them, aud exposed some of
the alleged false issues which they had raised
Senator Childs Of Rutland aud few others
seconded the name of Judge Red6tld, though
he was not put in nomination, having express
ed a wish through his friends that his name
should not be used to defeat Judge Royce.
The ballot resulted AS follows: Royce, 1874
Redheld, lOG scattering, ~. Tho other
judges were elected by viva voce vote. And
so closed one of the sharprst contests that has
ever taken place over the election Of judges.
It was a hard-fought battle, and its result will
be good. Judges will learn that the people
are becoming more Independent and more de-
tcrmiued to hod all their servants to strict
account
