We are"now1inf ormed prSSely "asto 1 thecomplexicpf,IJixt,(Itouse. Ao cordiiig to tire certificates of election it will stand us follows : ; Democrats. . . . r.. . -. . . .-. 149 Republicans I. . (-4 r 4 129 Nationals 10 California has still to elect four rep resentatives. Tte present delegation from that Slate is equally divided, though the Democrats gained a member by unseating Tacheco, who was return ed as elected by one vote in a poll of 80,000. There is a vacancy in the twelfth district of New York also, caused by the death of Mr. Smith, the llepublicafi member-elect from a district hitherto Democratic. I will thus be seen that the Democrats will have a clear major ity of five over both parties on the or ganization of the House, even in the very improbable contingency of the Re publicans again carrying the New York district, and of their making a clean sweep of all four of the California dis tricts. On the general run of party questions it is likely that the Nationals will di vide themselves equally between the two parties. There will be a number of contests. In three or four of these the claims of Democratic contestants will be readily admitted, and when the House has dis posed of all these contested seats the Democratic majority will probably be about the same as it is in the present House nineteen. The States are divided equally as matters staad, eighteen Republicans and eighteen Democrats, California having yet to choose and De La Matyr holding the balance of power in Indiana. If Orth should lose his seat from Indi ana, that State will be Democratic ; as would Minnesota, with a tie in Wiscon sin, if the two Democratic contests should prevail in these States. If Cali fornia should be divided as it is now, and these important changes be made by contests, the Democrats would have twenty States, he Republicans sixteen atuttwo evenly divided. Mr; Blaine's Sectionalism. The intense sectionalism of Mr. Blaine crops out on all occasions. At the annual dinner of the New England society at New York the other day, he took issue with Mr. Evarts in a way that has been severely criticised by the papers. Mr. Evarts, speaking in behalf of the mer cantile and commercial interests of New York, said, referring to the navi gation laws, "if we wish to build ships, let us build them." Mr. Blaine, as a representative of the ship-building in terests of Maine, took issue with the Secretary of State, though the place and occasion were not suitable for centre- versv, and said, "I don't know that it is allowable to have controversies at table, vind vet I must differ from mv honor able friend, the Secretary of State.' After which he proceeded to piake an argument in favor of the present re strictive and obstructive navigation laws: "Th e rJerrrM referring to this con- troversy, says:. "We do not mention "his argument to refute it, but only to call attention to the fact that Mr. Blaine is to enter tho presidential lists as the champion of protection as well as the reviver of sectional animosities. With the-addition of a crusade against Catholics his political equipment, as the knight errant of obsolete ideas, is com plete." Never Came Second Out of Any Contest. Few more graceful things have ever been said of Gov. Vance than the following, which is from the Greens boro Patriot, and all of it, too, is said with entire truthfulness :MAmong all the intellects of the sons of Xorih Carolina there is not one brighter than his; among all the tongues of her sons there is none more eloquent ; among all the hearts there is none that beats for her more warmly or devotedly. "In the counsel he is trusty, on the frufn ne is peerless, and if sent to the Senate he" will stand upon that floor the equal of any and the superior of the majority. In, sending him North Caro lina will hotior herself more than she will honor him, for in him she will have a champion who never came second out of any contest, qnd one who, regardless of self, wiil ever be iri the front to guard . anq proiArctr iter iir uuie- The Reagan Railroad Bill. The- ophilus French, auditor of railroad ac- i counts, has been giving the Reagan railroad bill careful attention,, and will racommend its passage, with several amendments.

Ex-Gov. Bullock, -of, Georgia, an .a letter tp the New York Tribune, proves by reference to mills in Georgia,-Alabama, Tennessee-tiind other Southern -, States, that manufacturing establish ments in the South are much more pro-fitable-than those in the North, and con cludes that the,, business will continue to increabeuntil the center of the manu facturing industry 4L the country, will be found in the Southern section. "The cheap abundance of steam-making coal,w says Mr. Bullock, "almost in the very fields where the lint is produced, to gether with the superior climate and superabundance of that class of people who make the most efficient mill oper atives, renders the central South the most favored section for the successful operation of cotton mills." How Mr. Keogh Has Been Treat ed. We overlooked one paragraph of "Gath's" account of his visit to North Carolina. He interviewed Mr. T. B. Keogb, chairman of the alleged Repub lican State executive committee, who is represented as saying: The Democrats in our State have no sympathy with the rifle club business, and "dividing the time" of the South Carolina Democrats. I went there from a AVestern State, am well treated, and like, the people and the country. It has the hlost forbearing and Christian popu lation ot the South. Mr. Tilden. it is asserted, is well equipped with material to meet the government suit for all arrears of in come tax, and will show that about the very time this suit against him was in stituted, the secretary of the treasury in a similar case ruled that the decision of the government assessor was final. It will be shown that the prosecution was malicious. Uncle Sammy is not often caught napping. STATE xEV8. , The phonograph is in Winston. They have stray English sparrows in Winston.

The message is regarded as able and comprehensive. Copies were both mail ed and expressed to you. Beyond the reading of this document there was nothing of interest in the proceedings of either house. - All the recommendations of the Gov ernor are in keeping with the spirit of the times and give him additional popu larity before the Legislature. turner denied party fellowship.

TOE DAYTON E OFBSBQPIES: J Death-of Hon. Julian Iartridge of Georgia, and Honors to H is Memo ry Beck . Bounces Sherman Representative Schleicher, of Texas, at Death's Door-Sugar, Sher man and the Chi ' nese Before the Committees. Washington, January 9. Senate. A large number of petitions were pre sented during the morning hour, among them many favoring the passage of the bill crantine arrears of pensions, and in answer to a question ot Mr. Howe as to when, that bill will be considered, Mr. Ingalls, chairman of the committee on pensU5n& stated that he proposed to call lt-up assoon as the bill to amend the patent lawsshould be disposed of. During tne morning nour, mi. abck called up the resolution submitted by him on the 7th, referring to the answer of the secretary of the treasury to the resolution of December 3d, relative to the amount :of silver com received in payment 'Off -customs dues, what disposi tion has been made of it, etc., referred to the committee on finance with in structions to investigate as to whether the laws relating to the payment of cus tom dues and interest on the public debt have been paid and are being com plied with. Beck criticised at some ength the answer of the secretary to the resolution of December 3d, and said specie resumption had been reach ed by the ruin of hundreds of thou sands of the best men of the country. All he (Mr. Beck) was seeking to do was to require the secretary of the treasury to use silver com as he does gold coin in the payment of interest, and forbid him from increasing the bonded debt of the country. The sec retary had not answered the resolution as a public officer should do. He well knew he had not paid a dollar of silver coin as interest on tne public debt. Mr, Beck socke ot feecretary bnerman as the autocrat of the treasury depart ment, and said it was true as said by Prince Bismarck, that "He who holds the money bags controls the politics of a country." Congress ought to see to it that the laws are executed in the in terest of the people. At the conclusion ot Air. lieck s re marks a resolution was. submitted by him referring the answer of the secre tary of the treasury to tne hnance com mittee ior investigation. Agrecu iu unanimously, and .the Senate resumed the consideration of the bill to amend i ! A 5 A- - k 1 A. . . the patent laws. House. When the iiouse met this morning, the desk ot tne late juiian Hartridee. of Georgia, was tastefully draped in black, and upon it was placed i handsome basket ot nowers. Cook, of Georgia, offered a resolution providing that the funeral services of the late Julian uartridge snouid De held in the hall of the House this af ternoon at 3 o'clock, and inviting the Senate to be present during the ceremo nies, The resolution was unanimous ly adopted, and the Houss took a recess until 2 :55 p. m. The galleries were crowded when the House assembled after the recess. At 3 o'clock the Senators entered, preceded by the Vice-President and Secretary of the Senate, and took seats in the body of the hall. The Supreme Court next entered (all the judges clad in their robes of office) and took seats in front of the Speaker's desk to the left. The President and cabinet were next usher ed in, taking seats to the right of the Sperker's desk. At 3:20 the committee on arrangements preceded slowly down the main ais'e, all present standing rev erently. The body of the late Julian Hartridge, of Georgia, enclosed in a handsome casket, adorned with wreaths and crosses of flowers, was then carried in and placed on the catafalque in front of the Speaker's desk. Rev. W. H. Har rison, chaplain of the House offered a prayer, invoking consolation for the family of the deceased, and praying that while men considered the death of the deceased, they should be impressed with the solemn truth that they were but mortal, and would themselves very soon pass away. After reading selections from the fifteenth chapter of the first Epistle of St. Paul to the Corinthians, Mr. Harri son proceeded to make a short but solemn eulogy of the character of the deceased. lie eloquently appealed to his hearers to tear in mind the certain ty of death ; to remember that though a man might fill the highest niche in the temple of fame, they must in the end come down and inhabit the narrow house of clay. Rev. Byron Sunderlin, chaplain of the Senate, delivered a prayer m a feel ing manner, and after the benediction by Rev. Mr. Harrison, the lid of the coffin was removed and the members approached and took a last glance at the features of their late colleague. The lid of the coffin was then screwed on and the remains were borne out of the hall followed by the President and his cabinet, the Supreme Court, the Senate and the Georgia delegation. The Speak er accompanied the funeral cortege to the depot, and on his return the House adjourned. To add to the solemnity of the day it was rumored just previous to the ad journment, that Gustav Schleicher, of Texas, was in a dying condition. committee proceedings. The discussion of the sugar question was continued to-day before the com mittee on ways and means. Mr. Hitch, of Xew York, imuorter of sucrar from Brazil and the Phillipian Islands, op posed the proposition to estaoiisn one rate of duty on sugar up to the sixteenth Dutch standard, arguing that it would have the effect of wnolly destroying the trade on the low grade sugars. By re fining these sugars a pure article could be procured equal to No. 16 Dutch stand ard, which could be sold cheaper than the refined sugars of any foreign plan ters in the world. It was a fallacy to depend on foreign planters to give us pure sugars when we can produce them ourselves. Messrs. Foley, Thompson & Perata, of Baltimore, severailv advoacted the plan of the importers, refiners, grocers and customers of that city, proposing specific duties on the various grades of sugars. The House committee on foreign af fairs, of which Mr Schleicher is a mem ber, postponed its session to-day on ac count, oi nis illness. becretarv Sherman was lpfor fh House appropriation committee this morning, urging that an appropriation of $50,000 be made for the purpose of defraying the expenses of transporting silver bullion from the Pacific coast to New York for the balance of the fiscal year. He also asked that an annual appropriation of $150,000 be made for this purpose. In his remarks, the secre tary said the railroad companies were charging exorbitant rates for the per formance of this service, and suggested that the committee recommend such legislation as will require the expendi ture to be made for freightage to be limited, thereby compelling those en gaged, in the transportation Of silver bullion to make reductions in the pres ent rates. ; , . The House committee on education and labor, to-day authorized Represen tative Willis, of Kentucky, to report to morrow the bill heretofore agreed upon by the committee, providing that not more than 15 Chinese shall be admitted tp this country on any one vessel, with the request that the House specially as sign the earliest-possible day for its consideration; , The committee changed the bill so as to provide that the date for i to goi into effect shall be the first of next July. v i .

"That Dutchman" Keplles to Little Phil's Strictures Upon the Management of the Indian Bureau. Washington. Jan. 9. Schurz has re plied to Sheridan concerning the latter's charges against the Indian bureau. The secretary says : "ii uen. onenuan could be induced now to make a per sonal inspection of the business methods at present in iorce in tne interior ue partment,' he would not only find thee methods infinitely superior to those which prevailed in the Indian service when it was under 'military manage ment, but probably also equal if not su- Eerior to those in force in tlie business ranches of the military service now." The secretary refers to the fact that while most of the abuses which are pointeuoutin Sheridan's supplemental report, during the last three or four years previous to the incoming of the present administration, had been going on, the general had no word of censure lor them in his official reports, but that now when the criminal prosecutions of thieves are the order of the day. and when ring men and those who attempt fraud upon the government are in fe;y of the penitentiary and are trying by all means to get out of the clutches of the Interior Department, the general suddenly feels himself compelled to launch out into unmeasured denuncia tions and bring forward complaints against agents already dismissed and abuses already corrected. Concluding, Schurz remarks that he is not responsi ble for. the necessity of this correspon dence and regrets to have a controver sy with an officer of Sheridan's reputa tion, lie gives the reasons which com pel him to take up this controversy, pointing out that the arraignment of one department of the government by an officer under another department in an annual report is an unprecedented thing, but that he would not have ob jected to it were the arraignment only just and did it present a fair representa tion or the facts; but such not being the case, he had considered it his duty to call for the proof, so as to protect worthy and innocent men in the service against the imputations upon their characters by being classed with those that were guilty or incompetent.

MeCormkk, United States commissioiler-general to the Paris ex position, who arrived at New York Monday last, says the American machin ery on exhibition was eagerly sought alter and brought good prices. The on ly locomotive in the American exhibit went to Italy, while the large Whee lock engine was not only purchased to remain in France, but the makers sold the royalty for its manufacture in that country for a very huge sum. Exten sive orders were taken by a Philadelphia firm for cold pressed nuts and bolts, and these came from nearly every country in Europe. In almost every case the exhibitors o' machinery are highly pleased with their success in in troducing their goods and the orders which they have received. In" many other branches of American industry the exhibitors were well repaid for their trouble, and Commissioner Mc Cormick states that the Freuch officials assured him of their great satisfaction with the American exhibit, and their belief that it would have an extensive political and commercial effect in France. Of the 137 paintings sent over 12 only were sold. When asked as to his opinion of the Paris exposition as compared with our own Centennial, he replied that in the general arrangement of the buildings and grounds he con sidered the American1 Centennial much the superior. In the display of costly fabrics and rich artistic works, how ever, he believed the j Paris exposition to Le the greatest the world has j'et seen. While the American department was not as large as it would have been had Congress taken earlier action, yet it was a good exhibit, and attracted much attention. It was the largest and best American exhibit ever seen in Europe, and received more medals than the entire number of exhibitors at the exhibition of 1S67. Brief News Items.
