The Next Congress.

Every Republican who loves his country
and believes in the principles of his party,
must feel deep interest in the political char
aeter Of the next House of Representatives.
Il viii be a rafting campaign, and until
lately it looked as though the Democrats
might win The election in Maine, however,
and other circumstances have inspired the
leaders with the belief that it is quite within
the possibilities of the case that the Republi-
can party will be able to hold its own in the
coming elections
Edward Mcpherson. clerk ofthe present
House, says Il might be said to be part
Of the clerks duty to watch the course Of
the nominating conventions in the Congress
sionsl districts in order TO keep general
drifl of things in the preliminary stages of
campaign for the election Of national repre-
sentstives.
The prospects Of Republican majority in
the next House are looking decidedly better
than they did two weeks ago. There was
then some uncertainty as TO how the people
were viewing certain matters in Congress.
The verdict thus Ear has been decidedly "a
vorable. The voice Of the people has been
that Of endorsement.
The strength Of the parties ia the H ouse
to day IS l72 Republicans, l5s Democrats
and Independent There are four contest
ed cases unsettled by the House, but reported
favorably for the Republican contestants. II
the committee is sustained, that would add
four more TO the Republican column. The
Republican majority is eighteen in the list
Of members with nndispnted titles to their
seats. The gerrymandering Of the States Of
Maryland, Kentucky and Ohio. giving thirty
districts against US. makes the contest more
difficult for the Republicans, bet that can
be overcome with determined and sagacious
work. More than half the nomi nations have
been made, and in the list is an unusually
large number Of denominations"

SENATOR BARBOUR, Of Virginia, uttering
a eulogy in the United States Senate on
the late Samuel j. Randall, Of Pennsyl-
yanis, made an admission that involves
his entirc party. Said Mr.. Barbour:
Mr. RzBdsii was not much inclined 20 abb
stract and sentimental siai.smanship. but
more disposed to regard political measures
from practical standpoint, and perhaps for
that rea sOn got out Of touch with a N .jyrity
Of the leaders Of bis parry. especially on one
OF the most important questions Of the day.
Mr. Randall was 2 firm protectionist.
He regarded free trade ~ an abstract
and sentimental" theory. From his
practical standpoint" protection was a
principle Of sound government. That
was the reason why he differed with his
party through his entire career in public
life But we had not expected TO hear 8
free trader ike Mr. Barbour admit and
proclaim it to the condemnation Of the
Democratic party.

offered by lawyer Chas. Taylor,
that the name of Hon. G. g. Az.

the reason that he was not les
