1ERRSONv1L 01' ''RE NEW HOUSEC.
A correspondent writing from
Washington thi describes the now
Congress. It will be seen that he
pays a sort of loft handed compliment
to the Democratic sido. IIe says:
"Tho Houso is divided so evenly
politically that for the first time in a
great many years the co:ntro aisle
separatto; tho two parties exactly.
Usually, from tc(e inequality of the
pat ty forces, une sido has had to
inti udo to a greater or less extent
upon tho other's seats. But nw
the right is all Domocratic and the
lof t all tepublican. There are 302
se.ts altoguther, giving 151 to each
party As there are only 203 mem..
bors, all told, as the Democratic ma
jurity is so sma1ll, this oven parti
tion was easily cfactod. With all the
State and the eight Territorial dele
*ates accouimoda(:ted with pla es,
and with the Speaker in his clh ir,
there romaim but two unoccupiod
seats on the itoor of the House.
As the allotcm:lit of seats drew to
It close ti Houso gradually assumed
the appea.trance it is dcptined to
wat' as the Forty-sixth 0 mgress.
A.3 the seats filled up the chara.ter
of the body b(-'m to show itself.
From the gallery the view Vas Coin
plimentary to its general intclli
1 g(ence. The Democratic side pre
s,nts a better looking set of n01
thtn did the previous Congress,
while the 1Republicans sulifer some
whait by comlptlri.wol in this respect

In the Forty-four th Congress any

It takes one hundred officers, at

Tilden is not anxious about Ohio

It shocks the. Republicans to see
how greedy the Democrats are for

more to give up their fat berths.
Congressman Lutrell, of Califor,

Alex. Stephens says "the Forty

When a Republican becomes
