IUI, FIKTIKTH CONOKK88. The Complexion soul Probable Attitude of tho House. (Froin tiie Baltimore Bun.) Tho 5th ol' Decembor, tho -lato on which the Fiftieth Congress will begin its labors, is already near at bund. Withiu the short space of thrco weeks tho members of the National Legislature will have assembled ci Washington and havo taken steps of preparation lor tue work of a long session. Holli houses ot thu Fiftieth Congress will be of thc same political complexion as in thc Forty ninth, but with a diminished majority for the party dominant in each. That is to say, the Senate will continue Repub lican by a majority of 2, as against a majority of ? during the Potty-ninth Congress, while the House will bu Dem ocratic by a majority of ld in the Forty ninth Congress. 'Hm fact that the coming session precedes immediately a Presidential election louds extraordinary interest to its work, discourages tho ex pectation that much useful legislation will be accomplished. Thc Senate and House, uniese past experience is mis leading, will be ut eross purposes, each trying to kill important measures origi nated by tho other from which party capital eau be made, or vj ing willi each other in thc passage ol' extravagant bills o? a demagogical character. The groat mensuro of the session will be an Act to reduce tuxes, The attitude to be assumed toward this necessary and iuevitable meabiuo hy thc parties respon sible for the control respectively of thc House and the Semite is a question upon which un carly decision will have to be made. The Republican Senate will, wu may assume, continue to favor tho reten tion of tho existing turill' taxes. If there is to be a reduction of taxation the Seu ate will favor tin ubolition of the inter nal tuxes on beor, whiskey and tobacco, l'util such a mensure of tux roduotion can be scoured it will continu? to call patriotically for big appropriations fur pensions, subsidies, n i's and big guns, proposing to obvi?t-- tho accumulation of a dangerous surplus in tho treasury by distrti ding the expenditure of mum moth sums over a series of years. The Senate knows its mind, ard will act in tho interest of tho protectionists in any event, whether by ob (meting and mu tilating a tariff roform bill c oming from the House, or by originating a fallacious tux reduction bill of its own. The House, un fort nindi ly, is less de cided. The Democratic majority is divided upon the issue of tax reform. There is a small and obstinate faction of tho Democratic members, under Mr. Randall's load? rship, who favor the llc publioan policy of protection. In con junetiou with the Republicans they are stiflicieutly numerous, it appears, if true to Mr. Randall, to defeat any plan of tax reduction the majority of the Demo cratic representation may propose Thoy aro uot suflicieutly numerous or devoted to Mr. Randall, il is said, to defeat Mr. Carlisle's re-election to the Speakership, but in the absence of corresponding de fections from the Republicans of the House, they hold the balance td power as rcgnrds all fiscal questions. The Democrat ie plan for tho reduction of taxes will most probnbly be as follows* To abolish altogether the internal tux ou tobacco; to remove, il pructieubie, tile tax on huit brandies; to put the raw materials id manufacturers ou the free list, and, finally, to reduce ti e tux on imported artioh R, consumed in a largo measure by the poor. Mr. Randalls plan is simpler: To1 abolish tho internal taxes on beer and whiskey ns well ns tob?ceo, and, if this elToOtS too huge a reduction of tho Gov? ornmont's income, to restore it by in creasing tho tariff taxes on articles, such ns tin plate, that ure trxed now below the average rate. 31 r. Randall's scheme is so clearly impracticable and unwise that tariff reformers cherish tho hope thal their more reasonable measure will, in the end win enough Randallito und He publican votes tu insure its passage. Once passed by the House, a bill BO popular with the masses will hardly, it is thought, be wholly rejected in tho Senate within a few months of a Presi dential election. Apoit from tariff reform the measures most likely lo try tue virtue of Congress men during the coming session are ex travagant pension bills. The excesses at St. Louis of (?rand Army pension bunt ers have largely strengthened the feel ings against such bills, and President Cleveland may bc trusted to veto bills passed for buncombe. The Cauadiuu fisheries question will, no doubt, obtain u large shine of attention, in case the commission sitting at Washington is able to negotiute a suitable treaty, Tho President will probably be roughly handled by Senator Frye, for not usiug his powers to prohibit commercial inter course with our Northern neighbor, but the progre ss of e vents bas minimized tho fisheries issue, and everybody ia now aware that it is not worth going to war about. The failure of the river and harbor bill nt tho last session of tho Toity* ninth Congress imposes on tho Fiftieth the necessity ol providing liber ally for thc needs o? tho coming fiscal year. A Fated Ship. Tho superstition of sailors is pro verbial. A cablegram from Gibraltar to tho 1'icuyuno brings information which most strongly confirms the force of this superstition of tho sea and how its fore bodings of evil were realized. Last duly there was lying nt tho wharf at tho head of Spain street, in this city, tho Austrian burk Lussiguano, Sbo brought a cargo of Italian marble. Mr. Vinoenzo Ruja wns tho stcvedoro who engaged to discharge her freight, and on July 12, willie he was engaged aloft in rigging some hoisting gear, ho tall to the deck, a distance of forty feet, and was killed. Finally, when the vessel was WI loaded, sho took ou board a cargo of eotton seed oil for Genoa, whereat waa to bc couverted into pure olive oil. When the ship was ready to sail t ho erew desorted in a body, declaring that having brought over a cargo of tomb stones which hail already caused tho (loath of a man, tho voasel had como under evil influences, w hich would cause ber destruction. A now crew was en gaged and tho bark sailed from this port ou August 12. Now, tho telegraph brings the nows that sho was burnt at see, her crow having been rescued by tho burk Gasparo and brought into Gibraltar on Ootober 2. Whether tho evil omens which tho ignorant sailors had profoHHcd to recognize had any sig nificance or not, tho vessel at any rate met tho destruction to which sho had beon doomed, to tho satisfaction of tho superstitious at least.--Now Orleans Picayune.

Thc ooustaut agitation of the subject has produced that much efleetai least.'' The domestic problem is a perplexing < :.e. oud there havo boon diversattompts i t a solution in New York.

In 118 of those conflicts the loss on tho Federal aide was upward 500 men, and in at least ten battles moro than 10,000 were re ported leaton each pido. Tho combined losses of tho Federal and Confed?rate forces in killed, wounded and missing in the following engagements were: Shiloh, 124,000; Antietam, 88.000; Stone Uiver, 87,000; Chancellorsville, 28,000; Gettys burg, 54,000; Ohiokamanga, 83,000: Mc Clellan's peninsular campaign, 50,000; thant's peninsular campaign, 180,000, and Sherman's oainpaigu, 125,000.
