The Status of the Next House
of Representatives.
A correspondent of the Pbiladelphia
North A mericon. writing from \Vash.
ington, under date of April 8. says:
I am enabled to give, in advance
the official statement that the next
House of Representatives will be
Democratic beyond all question, and
- to have with certainty three of the
officers certain to be elected In view
of the fact that there are a thousand
and -one., ruwors and misstatements
being -msde -every hour in the day
about this lmportant matter, it may
not be. uninteresting to give in full
the facts a%nd fgures, as obtained. fro!m
unquestioned authority, to show that
the Democracy have the very best
of reasons for claiming the organiza
tion, and that the alleged dissensions
are without foundation..
The House, when 'complete, is con
posed of 293 voting meinbeis. The
Territorial Delegates are not included.
They have no vote, and do not go into
party caucus. .

All .the.above States are in full and
undisputed; that is to say, there is no
contest for any seat. It will be seen
that there are 130 Republicans and
123 Democrats, making a total of 253.

It will be thus seen that, there are
-nine seats disputed in the above seven
States. -Those on the roll, though,
iheluddseven Republicans and twenty
*four Democrats. .: Add these to the
nmber given. in -the first table, and
the figures will stand 137 Republicans
to 147 Democrats, making a fdtal of
28Vindisputed and uncontested seats
oirt of 293., By this showing, the
.emorats have ten majority, leaving
out all the, nine contested cases. That
is to say, even if Clerk Adams does
not place upon the roll the names of.
either party, -leaving the House to be
the judge of the -cases after its organi
zation.
THE NINE.. CONTEBST$.
The districts in Louisiana in dis
pute are the Third, Acklin (Dem.)
vs. Darrell (Rep.), and the Fourth
District, Elan (Demn.) and Smith
-(Rep.). The Fifth District will be
iepresented by Leonard (Rep.), while
the Sixth will be represented by :Rob
ertson (Dem.); the First by Ellis
(Dem.),.and the Second by Gibson.
-(Demu.) The two ~disputed districts
11l not go on the roll. The others
are already on the roll.
The Colorado dispute is between
Petterson (Dem.). and Belford (Rep.).
The iatter'was elected in' October and
-the former in November. The dis
pute is in which month should the
.election have been held. Neither of
-these contestants will go .on the roll.
The Florida dispute is in the Sec
ond District, and-is between Finney
(Demn.) and Bisbee (Rep.). The
Democrat from the First District is
on., the roll and undisputed. It is
probable that Finney's name will be
-placed on the roll, although it is not
yet done.
The Missouri case is between Met
endfe, Republican, and -Frost, Demo
e rat. The .majority was. o.ne, and
fraud was charged, and the case is in
-the Couirts in Missouri. Neither of
the contestants will go on the roll.
A one-miaj6dt contest is also the
-dispute in California. It is in the
Fourth District, and is between Wig.
giuton, Democrat, and Pacheco, Re
publican. It is reported here, but
not offiially, that the latter has won
the case. As yet neither name is on
the roll, and it is yet uncertain what
will be done in the ease.
In South Carolina there are three
names o~n the roll-one Republican
and two Democrats. The First and
* Fifth IDistricts are disputed. In the
First it is between Rainey, Repub'
*can, and Richardson, Democrat, and
in the. Fifth District it is between
Smialls, Repubican, and Tillman,
i)emocrat. If either of these con
testants go on the roll there is good
reasoni to state that the Demaocra'.s
will be the lucky ones.
The contest in Virginia is in the
Fourth District, and lies between Jor
es;sen, Renublican. and Hinlin, Deum
-oerat. This is the Petersburg Dis
tricit. where Gen. Grant ordered the
troops to go. Neither of these names,
it is understood; will go on the roll.
- -Out of these nine cases it is not
inprobable that three Democrats will
go on the roll and two Republicans,
leaving four off; and with this suppo
sition carried out the roll will be call
ed by Clerk Adams with 151 Demo
erats and 139 Republicans, a majority'
* for the Democrats of 12. It can be
-accepted as a positive fact that it will
be no less than L~.

State. It circulates extensively. and as an

The Catalogue of this institution
for 1876-7 shows that there are 347
students in attendance, many of
them being from this State.
A Much Needed Law.
There should be a law passed re
quiring all executors and trustees
before taking charge of devised es
tates to give bond, just as adminis
trators do. The reason for giving
bond is greater in the case of exec
utors than in that of administrators,
because the former are appointed
by one man according to his own
judgment and opinion of the ap
pointee's fitness, whereas the latter
can seldom be appointed except by
the concurrent approval of several
persons. The former are frequent
ly appointed by a man on his death
bed, when his mind is not in a pro
per frame for looking closely after
worldly affairs ; the latter are ap
pointed by men in ful vigor of
mind, and with the consent of those
who are specially interested.
Many an orphan has been brought
from riches to poverty by the in
competency and dishonesty of ex
ecutors and trustees
Laurens.
We paid a short visit last week
to Laurens, and found that up
country village pursuing the even
tenor of its way, watching, waiting
and longing for the railroad that it
needs so much. There appeared
to be very little business doing.
Stores look dilapidated and only
half filled. The place will never
prosper-cannot-till it has some
railroad connection with the outer
wold. Thus the Capital of one of
the wealthiest and most intelligent
counties in the State languishes
and drags along a dull existence
merely from the lack of a little pub
lic spirit and enterprise.
The county offices are all filled
by good men.
The Town Council are putting a
neat picket fence around the Court
House at a cost of $175.
Shade trees have been planted
all over the public square.
One peculiarity about Laurens
is, that.during all the days of her
misfortune the price of ,real estate
has stood at high figures. While
store rent is low, houses and lots
command as good prices as in any
other town in the State.
We hope our neighbors will soon
get their railroad.
Editorial Review.
Chamberlain has gone with bag

Chief Justice Waits is holding
Court in Charleston.
The Chief Justice will be elected
to-day (Tuesday.) There seems to
be little doubt that Willard will be
the man.
A. M. Speights has retired from
the editorial charge of the Green

A petition is circulating asking
the removal of Fred Douglass (co].)
as Marshal of the District of Co

The Usury Bill
Has been postponed to the next
session of the Legislature. Sena
tor Gary has been its strongest and
most persistent advocate. Public
opinion seems to be about equally
divided on the subject. Our opin

that tends to interfere with the
right of citizens to regulate their
own business affairs. At the pro
per time we shall express our views
at large.

COLUMBIA, May 12, 1877.
GENTLEMEN OF THE SENATE AND

terday 1 transmitted to his Excellency
the President of the United States the
concurrent resolution adopted by the
General Assembly invoking Executive
clemency, and I hereby have the
honor to cotumunicate his reply.
WADE HAMPTON, Governor.
WASHINGTON, D.C., May 12,1877.
To GOV. WADE HAMPTON : I am
informed by the Attorney-General
that he has instructed the District
Attprney for South Carolina to pre
pare for trial only three indictments in
the Ellenton cases, and to notify the
parties in all other cases that they
need not prepare for trial. It is pos
sible that only one case will be tried.
The fa.t that the indictments were
found by the grand jury, composed of
both political parties, seems to justify
the assumption that the prosecutions
are not partisan. I agree with you
that a general amnesty should extend
to all political oifenses except those
which are of the gravest character.

THE CHEAPE~ST FAsHrON MAGAZINE.
Among the meritorious publications devoted
to the subject of Fashion, we would inlvite
the attention of our lady readers to one,
wvhichm we think possesses in a large degree
the cssentials of a perfect work-viz., corn
mon sense and taste. We refer to "EHR1cHS
FAsHION QUARTERLY," the "Spring" num
ber of which has just reached us.
It will be found instructive, useful, beauti
ful, valuable. The very low subscription
price at which it is issued will surprise our
lady readers when thbey examine its contents.
The leading idea of the work, the present m
tion of a reference book and illustrated cata
loguc of the contents of their great establish
tnent, is handsomely conveyed; and the fund
of information, instruction, and thought
thercto added will make it welcome in all
homes where taste and refinement dwell.
The beauty of its illustrations, the topics so
ably presented by its able lady contributors,
its practical comimon-sense suggcstions,above
all, the value of its price-list, make it the
best investment we have seen in its line. Nc
household should be without it.
To Fortune's favored ones it offers mani
fold attractions in its choice and rare styles
pertaining to the wardrobe and personal
adornment. To those in moderate circum
stances opportunity is given for a display of
the same refinemeut of taste, though it may
be in humbler objects. To all who seek to
learn, to cultivate the beautiful, aud to ado.rn
"home'" and the "loved ones" it will be
found a mine of infor mation. The "Spring'
number, a large volume of 116 pages, is well
worth the whole year's subscription price,
which is astoundingly moderate-namely,50(
cents. The publishers are Ehrich & Co., Nos.
287 and 289 Eighth Avenue, New York City,
widely known as enterprising and reliable
merchants.
THE Ass IN THE LION's SKIN.--No fable
of iEsop's is more familiar than that of the
ass who assumed the skin of the lion, and
thus attired he succeeded in frightening all
the becasts of the tiefl!, who fled from him it
dismay, At last he rushed upon a fox, and
not satisfied with having the appearance of a
lion, he tried to imitate the lion's roar. The
fox recognized the voice of the jackass,
though his body was concealed by the lion's
skin. "Ha, ha!" said the fox; "if vou h,ad
kept your month shut I never should have
recognized you." It is the same Wivth many
low-grade starch manufacturers, wben they
tell you that their worth!ess products arc as
good as Duryeas'. The verdict of the eutire
world in every land where they have entered
into competition is, "That Duryeas' Satin
Gloss Starch is not equaled by any in exist.
ence, and Duryas' Improved Corn Starch
has no rival." All respectable grocers keep
them.

FOR THE HERALD. the
From the Seaboard to the the
Mountains. me]
While down upon the coast I went swe
out upon the salt to enjoy a matutinal not
meal that Neptune himself would have the
left the naiads and taken his trident fac,
many miles from his coral palace to the
enjoy. Leaving the quiet city before auc
the tapers of the stars were put out, by
and passing the sturdy sentinels, Sum- far
ter and Noultrie, now no longer aflame ton
with tongues of fire, we reached old prc
ocean in time to see the sun rise from ern
his boundless bed of waters to sprin
kle with a free, full hand his priceless
treasures over sea as well as land.
Placing a pilot aboard a barque that
rode upon the crested waves "like a
thing of life;" the bow of our trim
little craft was turned toward the fish- Li
ing banks, and in due time trout, por- gri
gies, black and other fish were "fry- rai
ing" in the pan. In all the gastro wi
noinical range fish are the only animals en
that should be eaten almost literally th<
alive. Their plump, juicy sides are coi
submitted at once from the sea to the Au
"scotching" and thence to the palate
from a hot plate. . tio
We enjoyed the breakfast, as a mat- of
ter of course, under the influence of of
an appetizing air, and the novelty of my
the scene; but a little "chopping *
around" of the sea, lulled us into pr<
"lassitude" by the "wail" of the wave, ize
when a gallant friend, somewhat jut
nautical, sought to enliven us with if 1
a buoyant story. He gave it as his pr<
opinion that perpetual motion can dir
alone be found on the ocean ; and de- Ur
monstrated with mathematical nicety -
that by utilizing the winds and waves th;
above in their undulation, oscillation an
and translation, and the action of the tb4
currents beneath, he could produce a sal
buoy that would ring its own bell and ari
blow its own whistle "forever and gr<
aye!" Whereupon "five miles" of fa
schooners, brigs, barques and ships thi
would never more wait a week in the all
Charleston channels and offing upon tb1
the fearful fog.
There is truth and millions, as se
well as poetry, iin it-the poetry of an
motion, of course. - But we'll say no onu
*more just now about the "principle," for
for somebody is interested in the do
"millions." Newspaper correspond- PC
ents, like other weak mortals, some- gr:
times err on the side of free speech. tic
When the wing of commerce is buoyed
"in all seas," we shall then tell how ste
'tis done. sta
It is not essential now to know, at of
what mighty eon or period, the fami. th<
lies of the great deep were assembled an
in the beds about Charleston. to under- Nc
go the process of forming a largess of th~
phosphatic wealth to enrich the State. mc
and save the city in her extremis. thi
Suffice it that all along the line of int
railroad from the coast to the moun- cit
tains the air was fragrant with the pa:
odor of the great fertilizers. We coi

mingled for future good. at
May we not hope that the deposits fin
of our coasts, which have been held in eni
reserve throughout the ages by Gm
iscience for this period of progressive ve:
developmen t, and now being sprinkled pr
over our midland belt and upon the po
brows of our mountains to transform wa
their particles into richer elements, tin

around to the sea," that higher struc- adi

When we left the city and its trib-. hir
utaries the yellow jasmine festooned gi
the islands, and the violet and
the lily had typified the resurrec- to
tion, whieb- again brought us "pan. pr
sics for thought." Here arnd there, [m
one hundred and fifty acres were flI
strewn with the strawberry, and hopes
were high for an early and abundant cer
yield ; but just at the critical mo- un
ment, when the pollen was about to wa
descend the pistils, a falling tem
perature killed the ovules and cut nu
short the early yield ; yet the fruit thi
that had fructif.ied soon ripened and malt
yielded the handsome price of five th(
dollars per quart. Averaging the to
plants at 10,000 to the acre, the area ai
of one hundred and fifty acres would I
make 1,500,000 plants, and estimating me
the yield of fruit at a pint to the plant, Iwh
and the price..at 5 cents per pint, the bei
sum of $75,000 must be realized.m
The loss of the early fruit by frost S1O
is not an injury to the plant, as the P'

sweeter and richer in flavor. The Hc
