The Forty-First Congress.
Though Gen. Grant is to be the President of
the United States after M;srch 4, 18G9, he will
not have such an overwhelming Radical majority
in the next House of Representatives as has cursed
the nation for the last four years. The l'ortieth
Congress, including the Southern carpet-baggers,
was thus politically divided :
Radicals - - - 1(12
Democrats -- 52
Radical majority 110
Two-thirds 142
Accord in ir to the latest returns at hand, the
political complexion of the next House of Rep
resentatives will be as ioliows:
Radicals 13S
Democrats 77
Radical majority ----- 01
Two-thirds Ill
In this calculation it is assumed that the Radi
cals will elect three Congressmen in Xew Hamp
shire next March, and two of the four to bo chosen
in Connecticut in April, though in the latter
State they may not secure but one, r.s was the
case at the Congressional election of 18G7.
Thus, it will bo seen that the Radicals will not
-have a two-thirds vote in the Forty-fust as they
have in the present. Con press. Xot only will
theDctixwats have an effective working minori

their mark en the floor. Their influence is sure

especially prominent are S. S. Cox, and James

Preoptions' about ; Gen. Grant.
We reproduce the following article (says the
Goldsb oro Messenger) Trom the pen of one of the
most eminent writers of Virginia and distin
guished journalists of the . country, thaf our
reaaers may learn ttie estimate placed upon the
unarauiur aim aouities ot U.K. Urant by a good
judge of character, and one who has had good
opportunities for studying the character of him
aDout whom he writes.
We know too little of the President elect to
say whether the opinions held by this author are
correct or not, but we will state that the article
was written early in April last, and we have seen
nothing in all this time to indicate that the
writer was very far out of the way when he
wrote.
We ask for this article a careful study on the
pan oi an our readers, and ask each one of them
to form his own conclusions after having read
and thought on it.
We shall be perfectly satisfied should Presi
dent urant lollow the course below marked out
for him. for we have sufficient confidence in his
personal integrity, abilities and firmness of pur
pose to trust him as a ruler, and whatever may
oe i ne upsuoc oi tne whole business, the placing
of hinr in power was no work of ours. We were
not permitted to have our own way, and now let
,:e.i!. . ... r' .
tiiu icspousiuiniy rest witn that party who, in
their hunt for a new lease of power, have caught
a very huge tartar and secured for themselves a
perpetual and efficient master. '

Indian Summer.
The name of Indian Summer, says a contem
porary, it is well known, is given in America to
the brief period, often in the latter h.-df
vember, of warm, sunny weather, usually prece
ded by some days of frosty atmosphere. The
origin of the name is a controverted question.
J he first United States history that met our
chiluhood said that the Indians, in their improvi
dence, were in the habit of procrastinating the
work of gathering their scanty food for winter
till the cold snap of early November brought
them to their thoughts, and that in the warm
weeks succeeding they did their hunting and
gathering, and hence "Indian Summer." " The
New England tradition is, that the Indians be
lieved this season to be caused by the southwest
wind which prevails at this period, and which
their good divinity, Conteutowit, who resided
in that quarter, sent them as ;i special blessin
It lias been sometimes said that the term Indian

. FOR EMPEROR ULYSSES GRANT.
Three delusions occupy the minds of that
small portion of the American people who are
aoie to tninK seriously about political affairs.
First, The moderate Republicans who are
unwilling to sacrifice liberty to party ascendancy,
dream that this country may be governed per
manently by the Federal Legislature, to which
the Executive and Judiciaryshall be not abso
lutely but relatively subordinate.
Second, That wing of the Democratic party
which is represented by the New York Wovlrl
2148 ' ""reams that, the Radicals being ousted, the Gov-
000 I ernuient may be restored to what it was before
j tne war and the Constitution re-established,
minus the institution of slavery, and the heresy'
n 1 i. ?A r- J '
3 muy csitL-m jr, oi secession.
Third, That wing of the Democratic party
which is represented by the La Crosse Democrat
and its adherents, whose numbers in the North
are becoming considerable and whos. unw.fWf

j ing followers at the South may be numbered bv

immsanus. urcani mat tne overthrow of the Bond
holders, the repudiation of the public debt, and
the uprising of the working people, will inau
gurate a new era of peace, prosperity and hap
piness under a perpetual Republic.
It is high time these delusions were' dispelled.
This country cannot be long well governed by
the Federal Legislature, for the reason that that
.Legislature, even if it were Democratic instead
of Radical, would, under a system of general
suffrage, (supposing negroes to be excluded,)
represent the mob aud its passions.
The constitution cannot be restored, minus
slavery and secession. Slavery secured an aris
tocratic representation, and secession was the
sole safeguard against consolidation. If a State
have not the right to secede peacefully, every
"e"1 ".- itciauus must in case ot dispute, be
established by force of arms, and arms failin"

what to expect from that.
This oligarchy, inflated by pride and mad

oligarchy of aristocrats, but of demagogues.
Ihey have neither the sense, the discretion nor
me Dreeaing necessary to the maintenance of
their high position. Already their heads are
giddy.
Fortunately ' for the country, they cannot re
main long on trial. They are compelled next

election. Still more fortunately they are forced
to present General Grant as their candidate.

This day, were he to side with Johnson, Radi
calism would go to the wall. He does not side
with Johnson, not because he hates the South or
loves negroes, but because Johnson represents
Constitutionalism, and his game is. outside and
above the Constitution. He is seeking dominion,
and he has almost grasped it. Whether the wis
dom which has led him so far be his own or
another's, the fact remains Grant is the power
in this country. Call it fortune, luck, what else
you will, it does not change the result.
He will use the Radical party as a stepping
stone to the Imperial purple, and then he will
strangle it. He is a man raised up of God for
that purpose. He is remorseless His heart is
flint. His will is adamant. His fondness for
horses, for dogs and cigars, his bad grammar, his
silence, all, do not the least unfit him for the
part he has to play.' 'When the Courier des
Etats Unis said, in quiet derision, "he talks lit

which all enjoyed. But those who will be at
pains to look back a little, will remember two
important facts in this "lucky fool's" history.

Many will dissent from this opinion, which
we have long held and shall continue to hold
until we see reason to change it. Manv will bo
offended, but that we cannot help. There is. in
our opinion, no earthly chance of the restoration
of a Republican form of government, and if we
are to cnoosc between a Senate of fanatics and a
lyrant like Grant, we declare unhesitatingly in
favor of the latter.
We would much prefer a limited Constitutional

monarcny to a despotism. Uut that is not pos-
an jjuiitiiu, ttuere me irancnisc is
restricted and where the Parliament represents
the landed interests and the vested rightsof the
titled gen try .monarchy is the naturarsequence.
But in the United States, property and intelli
gence do not and cannot, while universal saffrae
obtains, bear rule.
Empire is the natural sequence of Republics,
and Grant may make hiuutclf Emperor without
another war. That is the best we of the South
as well as the North can expect for some years
to come. In the convulsion which must occur
before the next decade, the South may reason
ably hope to be free--if that be a boon, as things
are since the downfall of African slavery. Fot
the present her interest is an Emperor instead of
a mob of masters miscalled a Senate. - .
