Tbe present Iloase of BepreeeotatlTea baa a Demo cratic majority of 73. f This haa been wiped oat in the next HoteM and tbe majority already reversed will be made more strongly Iiepablicaa after the New Hampshire election.: "Tbe' gauis br which this change has been effected sre as fallows : Arkanaaay 1 ; Califor nia, 2; Florida, 1 ; Illinois, 6; India na. 4 ; Iowa, 1 ; Kansas, 1 ; aluaachut- etts, S ; Michigan, 1 ; llissoari, 4 7 New Jersey, 1 ; Nesr York, 1 ; Ohio, 3 ; Ore go, I ; rennaylvsaia; 11 ; Tennessee,. 1, These are offset by the failowijg loe! Alabama, 1 ; Kentucky, 1 ; Mississippi. 2; South Carolina, 2 leaving a clear Republican majority of 2. It will be seen that the changes above noted are pretty well scattered throughout the country. We have gained 1 in Arkxn- sas, which is balanced by the loss of 1 in Kentucky ; we have gained 4 in Mis souri. tTet by a los of 2 in South Car olina ; tbe gain oi 1 in Florida and 1 in Tenneasee mast be surrendered to tbe hkt-s of 2 in Mississippi. Our gains and loas are nearly equal in the South. Rat while tbe losses in South Carolina and Mississippi may be charged in part to intimidation, tbe gains in Missouri, Tennesaee and Florida are wrested from naturally hostile constituencies with no ppecial advantages. In the North all tbe changes- have been favor able to the Republicans. Massachusetts, Ohi.., which i a sort of new Marsachu ielis.renuylvanis, Illinois and Indiana furnish the chief gains, while the Pacific coast contributes three. In this connection it is interesting to note the changes which will take placo in tbe cenate. that body now contains 40 Republicans, 20 Democrats, and 4 Senators who were elected aa lndepen drnta. Of these, Mr. Hamilton, of Texas, usually acta with the Democrats, while Mr. Iiootb, of California who declared openly for the Republican ticket in his own State during the late canvass Mr. Christiancy, of Michigan. and Mr. Cameron, of Wisconsin, have, tor the most part, acted with the Re publicans. It is substantially accurate to say, therefore, that tbe Senate stands 'M Democrats to 43 Republicans, with one vacancy, in Louisiana. The elec tions of tbe current year have given the Democrats the power to elect a suc cessor to Mr. Clayton, from Arkansas, one to Mr. Alcwa, from. Mississippi Mr. iamar Haa been ciioeea ana one to Mr. Frelinghuysen, from New Jersey. On the other band, the Senators from the new State of Colorada will be Re publican, and on the fourth of March next the Senate may be classified as thirty-three Democrats to forty-to Republicans : if tbe vacancy in Jxtuis- iaua is filled by a Republican, tbe ma jority will be nine; if by a Democrat only seven. It is plain that Congress so evenly balanced as these figures indicate, will e powerless for sny partisan legislation, and this would probably be tbe case even if the majority in the Senate were ot opposed to the majority in tne House. It would be idle to try st tnts early date to forecasts beyond this simple statement the probable course of Coogreeajonal action, very much will de-ebd on lb occupant of the prcsr- ieutial chair. Should the Executive adopt a wiae policy in regard to any of me great questions of the hour tbe currency, toe revenue, the reform of the civil service, tbe South, sod should I.e push such a policy with any degree ol force and discretion, it is clear that Ii - might make considerable progress in it." iuiervaiihat he would occupy his olhe. 1 ne ntxt Congrees will be obliged to deal with the pledge of r sumption ac cording to the act of 1875. It is not poarioie that eithtr party can do so without aid from the other. Tbe infla tionist are not only strong enough to patalyxe any aiight Republican majority which may exist io the Honse. but tbey actually constitute the nisjority of the Democratic Rrpreaeatalivee io the Ireajnt, and, probab'y, ia the next louse. I o tbe aame way, there is only too mucn reason to fear that the Re publican inflationists ia the Senate are more than equal to the Republican ma jority in that body. Th question, therefore, muat be treated without re gard to party Haes. There is. a we believe, no done that the hard money men will have a decided 'majority ia the Senate, and they are likely to have a majority ia the House as well. With the guidance and impulse which they will receive froaa Pieaideat II aye and the Cabinet he ia likely to call around him, and with th great respooalbility lai pod oa tbeoi by the existing situ ation, we shall hope that tbey will do their whole duty to the coemtry. .Vrav )ri Tlaare. The old aoathera elesaeat is rampant once more at the Federal cavilavl. and iu lb rra la of war wwwld be alarm iog if they we not ridicalou. Some aoulh -era era are so certain of wr ia case the DesaocraU are aoi allowed to "bolt do' Tilden into the rteaideaual chair, that they opealy ooVr to bet that civil war will be iaaogwated la lb L'ailed State laawdo of tart d.ya.

The claim is false when we examine where thee majorities come from, but if ii were true, would count for nothing. The Democrats have had two Tre-sidciiH, Polk and Dchanan, ' a ) m m aa. ana we . he&ju iiiilnuig tuen 01 uie power of "popular majorities." If the frauds and iniimiJatioi) which have been practiced . by the Democrats in this canvass, were removed, the "popu lar msjo.ity' would be for Hayes. Take New Yuri city aui Kings county, which a made' to give Tilden 711.0410 majority, when it h known that 40,000 is the roost that was pontile with a fair vote. Virginia gives 40.000, when it is really Republican; Georgia 7o,C00 when '0,000 is the largest Democratic majority possible; Alabama -10,000, when the State is Republican by 20,000 majority: Mississippi 30,000, when the majority is fully that much tLe-other way; Arkansas 40,000, when ii should not be over 10,000. The Republican majority in Louisiau is cut uown from' 30,000 to 5,000, ia South Carolina from 40,000 to 5,000; Kentucky give 75,000 majority, when there should be but 2o,- 000. Here we have ooo.OOO majorities ob tained by force as tbe Mexican band itti obtain majorities when they "pro nounce" in favor of some chieftain and 35.000 by the most glaring frauds ever perpetrated upou the baliot-box. Deduct these votes from iilden.and Hayes has a popular msjerity of nearly 200,000. We only write this to show how baseless is the claim that Tilden has a majority of the votes cast, aud to show the people how the voles are ob tained which it is claimed elect laden. not that, even il he had a popuiar ma jortly,.it would aulct the question at all. 1 ne Constitution settles the man ner in which Presidents are to be elect ed. and Governor Haves has a majority of ODe in the Electoral College, which makes him President of the United States after the 4;h of March next, and tho loyal people of the United States wno euxieu nun win see mat 11c is in augurated at the proper lime. There is not tbe least doubt about that Tho Next Cocirress All the members of the next Con gress have been elected except, the three from New Hampshire, and they will undoubtedly be Republican, as in the late election the Republicans carried every district, and will do 50 again in the spring. It is now pretty conclu sively Retried it.- - the members who will receive certificates ea:h party will have 145, leaving New Hampshire to determiue the fact whether tha next House shall be Democratic of Repub lican, and in accord with the adminis tration. Should the Republican suc ceed in securing the organization of tne House so that an honest comniktee on Elections could be bad, several Demo crats whoseseats have been obtained by fraud and force will probubly be ousted, and the rightfully elected Re publicans put in their places. Among these is that Democratic hypocritical ballot box purinerf;) John ( 1 .de, jr., of irginia, who wilt receive tbe cer tificate from that other exemplification of tbe beauty of the purity of elections. Governor Kemper of irgi.ua. He will have to give place to the Hon.

The net Republican gain in New Orleans is 2,402. - la regard to members of Congress and the Legislator, in Louisiana the New Orleans jjtepubtica of November 10th says : "The returns that came in yesterday are enough to make certain tho election of Messrs. Darrad, Smith and Leonard to Con gres. The other districts are still in doubt, with the chances io favor of the re election of both Gibson and Ellis. To the State Senate tho Republicans have elected Messrs. Stamps and Demas ia the Sixth District, Cage in the Eighth, Sutton in the Ninth, Anderson (probably) in tho Tenth. Bryant ia the Sixteenth, Wheeler in the Seventieth, Harper in the Twenty-First,, and Blunt in the Twenty-Second. The Democrats have carried the Second, Third, Eleventh, Nineteenth and Twen tieth. ThCorher districts are in doubt." The election of sixty-one Republican members of the House are assured fire more than a majority. In regard to the general result in the State the Republican says : "Packard and Hayes have carried this State by at least 10,- oou legal votes, and will have a majori ty of a few thousand if every pretend ed oaiiot-box set up by Democratic no taries and other unofficial persons in East Feliciana is counted, and terroris ed Quachita, Lincoln, Morehouse, and Union thrown in. There have been immense gains in the Fourth Congres sional District and in the great river parishes or Uarroll, lensas, Madison, Concordia and Iberville. When tbe returns are all' in and footed up it will be eeen that the whole Republican State ticket is so far ahead that even the Democrats will give it up." Inter' Uceun. fjemocratic flVontery. . There is a legitimate Republican ma jority of 40,000 in South Carolina, of o",uuu in JLouisiana and ot o,000 m Florida with a fair and honest election. Bynnurder, violence and every kind of intimidation,, and by preventing' Re publicans from registering, or destroy ing their ballot? after they bad voted, the rebels have reduced our majority in two of them to 8,000 or less, and in Florida to about 1,500. But having failed to wipe oct by this wholesale sys tem of murder and terrorism the whole Republican majority in either of them, and thus secure the election of Tilden, they now have the sublime efTrontry aud dishonesty to charge the Republi cans of those States with an attempt to cheat him out of their elactorai vot Kjr m.nipuUlt.g lb. lalUTUS Or lOrOW- ing out enough to change the result against him. If people will bear in mind that in each ot these States I have named there ia an overwhelming Re publican majority, and especially if they will remember that in Mississippi, with a Republican" majority- of 40,000, they will be able to appreciate the cool, deliberate, villainous impudence of these charges against tbe Republicans in South Carolina, Louisiana and Florida. curiosities of the Telegraph. We can imagine, the astonishment of a butler who received a telegram from his master, a certain nobleman, asking him lo send at once "ten bob' as he was ."greatly in need ot it." Of course the message had .been wrongly trans mitted,' "ten bob" having originally been "tin box." This story, which happened not many years ago, was told me by a gentleman who was in the tele graph service at the time, and had to deal with the complaint which was made about the matter. The following also coses from the same source : At one of the gatherings held periodically at Bremear, some years ago, a certain earl telegraphed to Edinburgh tor a "cocked bat," to be sent to him at once In transmitting the message the article mentioned as wanting was converted into "cooked ham," which waa actually forwarded forthwith greatly to tbe sur prise and indignation of the nobleman. A telegram wa onee received aa fol lows : "Please send your pia to meet me at the station." Of coarse, it ahould have been "gig," the instrument havtag made what, in telegraphic phraseology, is called a false dot. Over and over again jaded railway officials have beea caused fruitless searches after a missing "black boy" through this want of pow er o the pirt of the telegraph to dis criminate between "y" and "x." The stories current on this point are Burner oua, but the beat I hare yet heard is the following : Some time ago a station master received a telegram from a lady, J ataung inai aae nau ten as nte eiauoa "two black boya," ia tbe waiung-roocn. she believed, and tied together with red tape; would he please lot-ward them at once ' The astosuwhed official caused search to be made; bat isstead of "boya," be toood two "boxea" the nsjtiog-rooea, as described, which were duly forwarded. From a similar can on the part of the eWtrie tebi, a Lady received from her son ie-ian- n te7ran which aatontahed her not n Uule. It staled that hi wile had neeaeated him with a "fine box." taWaairrv JmrmL DesaocraU are fcopefal of re threaga the irafee the election f rreaideat I th fratrnt federate IK.e.

Friday opened with one of those cool, chilly autumn mornings, which was followed later in the day by a heavy rain, continuing -so long that it w&s found impossible to hold the cereaio nies where they were originally inten ded to be at the west end of Ihv main building, where great preparations had been made, including a seating capaci ty for several thousand persons, in am- Jihitheater style, between the French bundtain and the grand stand, conse quently they were carried out in Judges . Hall, north of the main building. Most of the time,1 however, was consumed in speech making, being freely indulged in by Messrs. .AIorrellT Walsh, Goshen and Hawley, who, in substance, gavo a review of tne great undertaking aui tho benefits derived therefrom.. Afer the remarks of General Hawley and the singing of the hymn, "My Country, 'tis of Thee," nothing then remained to conclude the ceremouies but the. CtUXSD FIX ALE, which President Grant took the most prominent part therein. He made u speech also, but it was not of very great length. Stepping to the froa. of . the stand be said: "Lsdics and jrcntle- men I have now the honor to declare the exhibition closed," and at the sania time giving a signal to the operator im mediately in the rear of him, who no tified the engineer of the Coriis engine to "shut down," and precisely at -4 o'clock the great fly wheel ceased, and the miles ol ibatiiug and belt in were silent, when tho multitude wuded their way homeward, which clo--d oai the last 8,000,000 visitors, who lor the past 140 days had Hocked within the gates. None of the exhibit were re moved on l-ridav, and a lew remained' until the boildings w-e clewed u; in tho evening, taking a look at the cxhivils, when the buildings were : t-.ari ntlv deserted, and the great crowds had de seserted the aisles, aud by V p. ..l.iuiet , resigned supfemeupon the groti-uN.
