THE LVIlITH CONGRESS.
A REPUBLICAN MAJORITY OF THIRTY
FOUR IN THE HOUSE-CHANGES
IN THE SENATE

More complete returns from the Congress
elections tend to confirm the announcement
made by The Tribune yesterday morning. that
the Republicans had elected 30 members of the
House OF Representatives in the LV1IIth Con-
gress and the Democrats 1T6. giving the Re
pubIicans a majority of 81. Later returns and
the official count in some of the close districts
may change these figures slightly. as there are
about ten districts which are very close. Some
of these which now seem to be carried by the
Republicans may be given to the Democrats
by the official returns. and others which seem
10 be Democratic may be Republican In the
estimates given above six of these districts
have been given to the Democrats and four TO
the Republicans. If the Democrats should
carry all of these. the Republicans would stlll
have 2O6-a majority of 20

in the xIIth. having been defeated by w. T.

ing the New-York delegation stand twenty-one
Republicans TO sixteen Democrats.
In the IXth North Carolina District the latest
returns indicate that Spencer Blackburn may be
elected over T. F. Klutz Oem). but the OFF,
