THE List CONGRESS.

If there is anything in the law Of averages,
it was natural to expect that the new House
of Representatives elected yesterday, would
be Republican. The turn of the Republicans
had come, apparently. When the tidal wavo
of 1874 swept the House into the hands of
the Democrats, their majority-in the XLIVth
Congress-was SO. In the next Congress, the
XLVth, this majority fell all the way to l 0.
In the XLVIth Congress it remained at the
same figure. Then with the XLVIIth Con-
gress, elected in $780, the power went back
to the Republicans. who obtained a majority

PE1CIIC1L GHOSTS.

A case Is reported from Brownsville, Texas, the
sxp,anaton Of which implies that some ghosts
are not only OF practical turn Of mind but
also philanthropic. The ghost Of commerce, 80
TO speak, has lost credit on account OF his per-
sistent unpracticality. In revisiting the pale
Qlimpscs Of the moon, he appears to have no more
definite object than the terrifying Of people who
do not know him. who did not know him when
he was alive, and who have no ambition to
make his spectral acquaintance. As to the ghost
Of the spiritual seance, he notoriously confines
himself to the most exasperating platitudes. But
at Point Isabel there is lighthouse which has
been abolished, and recently the house OF the
hte ght keeper has suffered mysterious nocturnal
bombardments-with shingle nails, Of all things
in the word-alternated with oyster shells and
brickbats. All attempts to ascertain the source
Of this bombardment having failed completely
the supernatural has been fallen back upon, and
. very picturesque little story is brought for
ward to account for the mysterious occurrences.
It is the seafaring residents of the Point who
are responsible for tho theory which is as fol-
lows: The ancient mariners say that during tho
war the aforesaid light was put out by light
keeper who was in league with gang of wreck
ers, and that some vessel was thus misled and
wrecked, and the crew all drowned. Now It
is supposed to be the spirits OF the drowned
sailors that have boon manifcsting, through the
purely mundane medium Of shingle-nails, oyster
shells. and brickbats. their disapproval Of the
abolition of the beacon, whose former extinction
caused their untimely demise. There is It must
be admitted. certain straightforward intel
Eligibility about this hypothesis, which speaks
volumes for the estimation in which the Point
Isabel mariners hold the good sense of their
deceased comrades, No doubt it would have been
still moro to the purpose II the spool1s had
bombarded the premises Of the Lighthouse Board
which ordered the Point Isabel light to be dis
continued, but then, it will not do to expect too
much from the ghosts of simple sailormen, who
after all. if the theory is correct have found the
way to express their sentiments plainly enough.

n takes q Democratic official 10 play such .
dfrty trick as Surveyor Beattie was guilty OF
Yesterday. In assigning inspectors 10 duty for
the day he took pains to arrange matters In
such q way as TO leave Democrats at leisure,
while Republicans were kept busy throughout
the hours for voting. These Republicans were
thus DISTINGUISHED. II Is by such devices that
the virtuous Democratic party seeks to per-
petllate its power.

inent Republican lawyer, however, to accom-
plish this result Southern methods cannot be
employed in this city with success. 1t was
well that preparations had been made to meet
the threatened trouble in this case Other
wise, the franchise might have been denied to
a considerable number Of fully qualified citi-
zens.
It n to the credit Of Newly orkers that they
give hearty welcome and generous support
to such exhibitions as those of dogs and horses,
which have become established features at the
Madison Square Garden. This week is given

centre of fashionable resort. Those who 20

Is q strong nducement to going second time.
The horse is noble animal, and here he is
seen at his best. The judging is always in
teresting and the competition for prizes is
keen. As mere money making venture, there
il no doubt that the Horse Show would be a
success for more than six days.
No harm appears to have resulted from the
fact that the election districts were 80 laid out
that in some of them more than twice the legal
number Of voters were registered. So rapidly
was the voting done yesterday that in some in
stances rate Of depositing ballots as high as
134 Der hour was attained, and in the dis
trict where 1,017 citizens were registered 81
were enabled to vote. No one in
this city was DISTINGUISHED by being
left in the lines at o'clock. The
day in this neighborhood passed quietly
and without marked disturbances. No matter
how high political feeling may run IN advance,
the American people take the election itself
with praiseworthy good sense.

Secretary Bayard asked for Lord Sackyie's
recall not because Of his letter to Murchison,
but because of newspaper interview''-pre-
sumably the interview with the Washington
correspondent of THE TRIBUNE. Noteworthy
also is the bad temper shown by Lord Sack
vile in his dispatches and in his letter of

repudiated Mr.. Bayards statement Of the rea-

Good morning, President Harrison

DistrictAttorney Fellows has o remarkable
faculty Of displaying zeal at the wrong time
As soon as he learned on Monday that the Judges
of the Supreme Court were too busy to give
any time to the Court of Oyer and Termner he
suddenly woke up to the fact that he was ready
to try some Of the bribery cases. That is, he
said it was a fact, but we take the liberty Of
expressing doubt on that point We are pre-
pared, however to believe that whenever the
courts not in session or the judges are occu-
pied with other matters, Colonel Fellows may
be depended on to say that he is on the point
of calling one or another Of the bribery cases.
That is the kind of man he is That is the
way he illustrates what it is to lead simple
Christian life before his fellow-men. This is
the official which President Cleveland and Mayor
Hewitt did their little best to foist on this
community. How proud they must be of the
result Of their efforts

tons make no difference with them. They know
neither change nor diminution and seem likely

human form had made a prisoner Of him and
taken unwarrantable liberties with his shell

some lots 1t is eminently proper that he should
