WASHINGTON, Nov 4-Returns from the cleo
ton enable mathematician to figure a
Republican majority in the lower house
of the Fiftieth Congress. In fact, it
now looks like it is very probable that
the Republicans have overcome the forty-three
Democratic majority in the House. and that they
will have control of the next one. Dispatches
received from Missouri West Virginia and por-
tions of the South have brought about a rever-
sion of the conclusion entertained during the day
that the House would be Democratic. Chairman

an congressional committee, say they believe
the Democrats have lost entire control, but that
if it should develop that they have a majority
it will be small to insure handso-ff of tariff
reform agitation for another three years, and
the result promises such boom for protective
tariff that free trade will be buried out of sight
ere another national campaign opens.
Democrats are so happy over Speaker Carlisles

general defeat He is regarded as their great

SENATOR HARRISON'S POPULARITY.
The news from Indiana, that General Ben Har-
rison is coming back to the Senate, created al
most sensation in political ci,cles The i'm
mense odds he had to overcome in consequence
of the infamous Democratic gerrymander had
caused men of all parties here to look upon his
case as almost hopeless. and the first dispatches,
announcing his probable reelection, were
received with incredulity by almost
every one, and the final announcement that he
had overcome the immense odds against him
was received by burst of enthusiastic exulta-
tion by the Republicans of the capital that made
the blood OF every Hoosier in town leap for JOY
From every quarter the suggestion was at once
made that this magnificent victory put Senator
Harrison in the very fore front as possible
presidential nominee for 1853. During the past
two years Senator Harrison's popularity with
the Republicans of ether sections than his own
has grown with wonderful rapidty, and the re-
suit of last Tuesday makes him a formidable
competitor for the next Republican nomination.

pubicans here are unanimous for him.
The fact that he entered into the contest with
such desperate odds against him. whether sue

other sections that in him they would have a
leader whose courage would never fail them, and
whose hrmness would almost insure them vic

account of the tally sheets not being properly
signed and attested This precinct gave Re

decision will therefore be to elect Byers by
majority. This action, though necessary in a
legal sense, is generally condemned by the bet

Interesting Memoirs.

Baron Haussmann, who, as Project
OF the Seine, ruled Paris during the
eighteen years of Napoleon II's reign
in the most autocratic fashion, is about
to publish his autobiography with a
view of explaining many things con-
nected with his career which he deems
require an explanation. The Baron re-
lates that the married life of Napoleon
and Eugene was far from being a hap
py. one, and that he was frequently
present when there were dreadful quar-
rels between them. Asked what part
he took under the circumstances, he re-
piled: "Oh. ! carefully avoided mixing
myself up in any way in the.matter and
generally succeeded in creating diver
sion by relating some new Scandal"
Owing to the great intimacy of Baron
Haussmann with both the late Emperor
and Empress, his memoirs are looked
forward to with unusual inte:est.-Ds-
