DUNN in the Eighth would all have had to
make way for Republicans.
Coming now to the great State OF New
York. with its twenty Democrats and four
teen Republicans in Congress, we find that
the percentage OF change in the Fourteenth
district would have carried likewise the
First, boating COVERT; the Fifth, beating
GRAHAM; the Sixteenth. beating RYAN;
the Nineteenth. beating HAINEs; the Twen-
tieth. beating TRACEY and the Twenty-first.
beating ScHERMERHoRN. The delegation
would have stood twenty-one Republicans
| TO thirteen Democrats.
In North Carolina. where there are eight
Democrats and one Republican. the Demo-
Gratis would have lost the First, Second,
Fourth, Eighth. and Ninth. and probably
the Third and Seventh districts.
North Dakota is represented by Re-
| publican.
In Ohio the Democrats have eleven dis
tricts out Of the twenty-one. They would
certainly have lost the Third, Ninth,
| Twelfth. Fourteenth. Sixteenth. Eighteenth.
and Twenty-irst. including OUTHwArTE's,
HARTER's, and Ton JoHNsoN's. The dele
| cation would then have stood seventeen Re-
| publcans to four Democrats.
Oregon has now two Republicans.
In Pennsylvania. where there are now ten
| Democrats and nineteen Republicans. the
result would have been six Democrats and
twenty-three Republicans, the latter party
gaining the Twelfth. Fourteenth, Twenty
fourth. and Twenty-sixth.
Rhode Islands two Democrats would both
have disappeared.
South Cardinals delegation OF six Demo-
Gratis aud one Republican would not have
been affected.
South Dakotas two are now Republicans.
Tennessees eight Democrats and two Re
publicars would have become six Demo-
Gratis and four Republicans. SNoDGRAss of
Sparta and ESLoE of Jackson would have
gone down. McMTLLIN. the great income
tnxer. would have barely pulled through.
Texas's solid delegation OF thirteen Demo
Gratis might not have been affected. The
probability. however. is TINT the Democrats
would have lost the Fourth aud Tenth. We
reckon the State as still solid.
NcrmOnts two Representatives are Re-
publicans.
Virginia is solid now; ten Democrats.
The Democrats in that State would have
lost the Fifth district and the Tenth.
Washlugtons two are Republicans.
West Virginia is represented in the Fifty
third Congress by tho Hon. WILLIAM
LIGHTWEIGHT WILSON and three other
Democrats. Under the deadly percentage
Of loss established by tho QrIGG- BEowS
contest. every Democrat OF the four. WILL
son included. would have been defeated.
Wisconsin has now six Democrats to four
Republicans. The Democrats would have
saved two Of their members under the con-
dtions OF this estimate.
Finally. Wyoming's one Democrat would
have been replaced by a Republican.
Hero then are the summary and the les
son simultaneously presented:

Republicans in present Congress ................J2g

But II tho same tidal wave OF protest
against Democratic cowardice. treachery,
and iucapacty at Washington. as swept
across tho Fourteenth New York district
day before yesterday. had affected every
district in the country which is now repre-
sonted by Democrat. the result would |
have been that which is here set forth:
Democrats in the new Congress ................l3o
Republicans and Popusts 230
Necessary for majority
Democrats short Of majority 50
Such is the lesson; and remember II you |
please that the percentage OF loss which |
We have here taken us yardstick with |
which to measure tho revulsion OF public |
sentiment throughout the country, as &C. !

organization, the steadfastness OF its DEM

faith. and. under any honest and sano
leadership in national affairs. the absolute
certainty OF its Democratic majority. suffi-
clent and with thousands to spare!
Admiral Benham Did just Right.
The action taken by Admiral BESHAM. In
forbidding the war ships commanded by
the rebel Admiral DA CANA TO modest
American merchant vessels. is entirely
justified by international law. 1t should
have been taken long ago. and 1t will prob
ably be followed by similar action on
the part of the naval representatives
OF other foreign powers. The practical
result will he to raise the blockade, which
the brazilian rebels have illegally estab-
liShed, aud the ultimate effect Of this may
be the collapse OF the rebel cause. IN such
