A leading contemporary observes that "of
sixty members of Conprens elected in October,
only ten were Democrats.'' Sixty-three Con
gresemen wero chosen In October, to wit:
Ponnajlvanla, 24; Ohio, 19; Indiana, 11; Iowa,
6; and West Virginia, 3 of which number fifty
one are radical, as follows: Pennsylvania, 18
Ohio, 16) Indiana, 11; and West Virginia, 3. In
Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Indiana, it is quite
possible that the radicals will further gain two
or three seats in all by the successful contest of
fraudulent elections. Archibald, of the Twelfth
Dlstriot, Pennsylvania; Delano of the Thir
teenth, Ohio; General (Jrover, of the Fourth,
Indiana, protest against their unfair defeat, and
will appeal to a lair congress, mere Is, there
fore, chance tnat the number of sterling Kepre
aentaiives from tne States named will be in
creased to 52 or 53.

The twelve Slates which voted on Tuesday
elected ninety-one members of Congress, of
which nuriiDer sixty-six are, no aouui, mtucm.
Thus, In the nineteen Slates which have voted,
since the 1st ot September, only two of which
have gone Democratic, we count the complexion
of the next Congress in nineteen States, with the
present status ot the remaining:

and Border States arc as follows:

Kentucky 2 7 lihode Island ..2
Total 15
The pnsent Democratic strength in Congress
is 44, not including Mr. Knynioiirl (whose suc
cessor brs been elected by a Democrntic vote).
Estimating from ihe States which have voted,
and the present delegations of the remaining
States, the Copperhead strength will be the
same. At mos:, it will not hive gained beyond
44, while the ladical majority will be abjut 10J.
A radical gain of four Senators munt also be
taken into account. Two of them have lately
been chosen, namely, the Hon. A. G. Cnttell, of
New Jersey, and the Hon. H. W. Oorbett, oi
Oregon. The new Legi-htture of Pennsylvania
has to elect a radical Senator in the plnce ot the
Hon. Edear Cowan, Democrat, and that of New
Jersey to n ake the same amends by supplying
the vacancy caused by the death oi the Hon.
William Wright. To these must bo added tne
Hon. Cornelius Cole, of California, in place of
Senator James A. McDouall. Should Colorado
be admitted, two more rai.ca' Senators will be
gained. We have lost a Senator in Maryland;
so this leaves our pain but four.
To recapitulate, the Senate stands at present
38 radicals and 26 Democrats. It will here
after have 42 radicals ariinr, 22 Democrats,
even should the Murylaud LceMature elect
Governor Swaun to succeed Suuator Creswell.
Ptie present House stands 140 radicals azainst
44 Democrats. . As reconstructed, tho House
will have 140 radicals to 44 Democrats. At
most, the proportion of Democrats and itepub
licans will be about the same. As will be seen,
the gain of the late elections is substantially in
the Senate.
Here, then, is the reply of the loyal and still
advancing North to the challenge of the Presi
dent syllables as plain as the' handwriting on
the wall that 126 radical Congressmen-elect "out
of a whole representation of 1(J2. We recapitu
late as follows, showing a fatai policy is weighed
in the balance and lound wanting. Mr. Seward
predicted that the State of New York would
register itselt against the radicals by 40,000
majority, or he was no prophet. Mr. Seward is
no prophet; for the State has gone radical by
from 5000 to i000 majority. Mr. Johnson com
mitted his political foes to ruin; the North re
sponds with radical majorities in nineteen Slates.
Not an inch ofj ground has been yielded by the
loyal vote; and in view of whatever good work
may remain to be done, the North is resolved
to maintain its standing army of loyal majorities.
What of the Future!
From the World.
Instead of crying over spilled milk, it is
better to make a lair estimate ot tbe result of
the late elections. It Is of no consequence
to separate New York from other States,
or the elections on Tuesday from those
held earlier in the season. These elections have
all turned on national questions. Their whole
significance consists in thtir bearing on national
politics. It is only iu their broa 1 national con
sequences, that is to say, in their joint effect,
that they have any public interest. When a
great battle has been tous-lit, with a decisive
result, the details of the fighting along separate
parts of the line cease to be of any value, exceot
to the annalist. How the result will affect
future operations, is the only question which
ban a living interest.
Though it was a great pitch "d battle fought
strenuously on both sides, tins year's contest
has been, in the estimation of the Republicans
merely preliminary to the Presidential contest!
Their pretenHe that It is important to keep the
South out of Congress, in any other view, is
ridiculous. Nobody is noodle enough to sup
pose that the forty or fifty excluded members
could be dancerous, in tlie presence of the two
hundred members from other States who could
outvote tbeni, four to one, on every question.
The talk about "security tor the future" has
been a mere electioneering pretense. The
North prows much more rapidly than the
Boulb. Tbe new States to come in are all
offshooU of Northern communities. The
Northern preponderance in Congress, already
so overwhelming, will become constantly
greater. In a country governed by Congress, a
majority of four to one, growing into a majority
of five to one. six to one, and in time ten or
twenty to one, there could be no chimera to
frighten fools more absurd than the pretense
thut the1 section possessing this growfug pre
ponderance needs any other security against the
passage of Cistastelul laws. It wai solely in view
of this preponderance that the SoiulTseceded.
Thvre was, at the time, acainst the Republi
cans, a majority of both houses of Comrress, and
a majority of the Supreme Court. They could
have thwarted Mr. Lincoln in every staie of bis
aduiinibtra'ion. But they saw tout this advan
tage was transient. When the North had become
powerful euough to elect a President against the
unanimous bouth, it had become powerlul
enough to control every branch of the Govern
ment. It was a mere question of disposition and of
time, me Bouth, tnereiore, deliberately (feci led
to relinquibh a temporary advantage aud bring
on the contest betoro tbe growing; disparity be
tween the two beetions should render success
utterly hopeless. The result proved that they
bad waited too long. The North was already
an overmatch for them. The war exhausted
uii.l orotttntted tbe South, but the North has
continued to grow. The same reasons which
precipitated the Boulb into rebellion in 186ft,
They were relatively lar ptnnger then than
they could ever hope to be arain. It is as if
two growing boys, ono feeble, the other robust,
should flpbt till the first one was "crippled and
Htunted, and then the greater and still growing
ono should dread tbe cripple and wish him put
In irons as a "security lor tue future."
It is evtdeit that the jNotth has nothing
further to learfrom tbe South, either in a poli
tical or a military sense. The recent elections
have been carried by the Republicans on false
pretenses. Tbe contest on their part has been
a deceitlul manoeuvre preliminary to the Presi
dential election. They have gained by it the
preat advantage of deciding, according to their
pleasure, whether the Southern electoral votes
shall be counted. They are undf r no necessity
ot making this decision tlil nfter tho election
ha taken place. If it shall then aprear that
the Republicans have such a preponderance
that ihe Southern votes will mnkeno difference,
they may perhaps affect to be liberal, and
count them. But If their exclusion shall
be needed to elect the Republican candidates,
they will be remorselessly excluded. The form
ot doing it will be copied from the precedent of
1805, when, a short time before the votes were
counted, Congress passed a joint resolution de
claring that the votes lrom certain enumerated
States phould not be opened by tbe President of
the Senate. If we had succeeded in electing
one-third of the House, this scheme could have
been frustrated by the vote. As it is, there is no
barrier againpt it. Certain it is that Southern

still be a minority, they would have no uure
power of sell-protection in Cont-ress than out
of it. Until the political complexion of the
-orth changes, adnu.-sion will dotnem no eood.
Why should they renounce t.r all time rights
i'cr which nothing subiitauti il is ottered in es
chanpe? The South will preserve order, obey
ihe laws, and leave the radicals to pass such
measures as they please. The spectacle ot a
quiet, loyal people ruled by a Government in
which they have no voice, will appeal to the
bitter bentiments of the North, and cause a
reaction against the radicals. When it is Be.n
thai there is no reason in the conduct of the
Southern people why they should be excluded,
tbe lesponsib.lity of keeping the Union dis
solved will come home to the rad cais, and
belore the Presidential election there will be a
great popular reaction, which will sweep them
out oi power. Only a very small change is
necessary to moduce this result. A change of
one vote iu a hundred would accompUsh'it in
New Yoik: a change of one vote in ntty would
accomplish it in Pennsylvania. The electoral
votes of these two States, added to those
of all the Southern States, together with
New Jersey aud Connecticut, would make,
a majority. A change of about seventeen

New York, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, and

From the tigroid.
The result of the election on Tuesday affords
an impressive lesson to the South. The people
ot that section must no see that there is but
one way to put an end to their dillicuHies and
disabilities, and to restore them to their former
Btatus In the Union. It is evident that tbe Con
stitutional amendment wiH be adopted by the
Northern States, and that the people 0f the
North require this guarantee as a condition of
the full restoration of the Bouth In adoiittw
iu representatives to Congress. The isue u
clearly defined; there Is no dodging or netting
around It. The fate of tbe South is in the Thaidl

The sreat cbitacl in the South to rcstora'ion
Is iu the old political and secession leaders
Such men as Wade Hampton. Governor Orr and

Patton of Alabama; Humphreys, f j 2

Virginia, are the re.il enemies of the Soi-th

conditions laid down, and advise the people oV
their States lo act In the same way. Thev 'ire

they would be ready to accept any sacrifice
personally for (he wcllare of th South. 13 v
the Constitutional amendment the tails of thoe
old secession leaders 8ro cut off, and In their
asony ftom this operation they turn round to
the people and say, "Look, triends and fellow
citizens, we have lostour tails; pray sympathize
with us and reluse to hold communion with
those who have muttlated m." In this way
they excite sympathy in a class of people who
do not look to the general question and con
sequences. Uut this cannot last tone. There is
a lmge portion of the Southern people who have
intelligence euough to see the eviln these same
old secession politicians bave brought upon
them, and there Is a new generation growing up
who will utterly ignore them.
Now, our advice to the South Is to throw over
board these Jonahs who threaten to overwhelm
tbeir country in ruin. Let tbe mass of the peo
ple and the young men who want to restore
their beaut. ful and productive section of tne
republic meet tocether, call publ.c meetings,
and take immediate action to accept the Con
stitutional amendment. Let them no longer
be guided by tho men who led them into seces
sion. The North has spoken emphatically on
the subject of their restoration, tbe conditions
are laid down, and there is no escape from this
alternative. Their salvation is in their own
power. Let them lay on the shelf all the old
politicians whose tails are cut off by the Con
stitutional amendment, take tbe matter in their
own hands, and eet represented iu Coueress by
a new and unobjectionable set of men. This
will be the end ol their troubles; but if they do
not take the course we advise, greater evils may
come upon thciu.
Hespouslbillty.
From the Times.
One thing to be steadily k,ept in view by the
party which has been victorious in this election,
is their responsibility lor the good government
of the country. Tney do not stand in the posi
tion of an ordinary legislative majority. In
all that appeita'ns to national affairs, their will
is supreme. They can ovenidc the vetoes of the
Kxecutive in nearly every one of the Northern
SUt-s. They have equally Bhown tueir power
in Congress to give ciiect to great measures of
national concern despite the President's consti
tutional riaht to difcSCUt. TbPV eninif tn ilnr
and are likely to enjoy in the next Congress, a
power ol control o.i.-r all that belongs to the
government ot the country, to which there is
neither cneek nor limit, to say nothing of pre
cedent. It is scarcely possible to measure the
scope of ihe authority now vested iu the L'gis
iative branch of ihe Government. The tem
porary depositor supreme power in that branch
may be a necessity growing out of the Insur
rection; and, regarded in that light, the exercise
ot such power will not be held to be intolerable
by lojal men. But those w ho have the oreatet
dread of the dominance of sectionalism, let it
come irom what quaiter it tuny, most sincerely
pray that compromise ground may be speedily
lound, so that the functions of the Government
may be performed us they wete bc'orethe ln
suirectionary epoch, aud that each department
ol ine Administration may reposse.-s L consti
tutional lorce.
Until that result is obtained, there sinley re-ts
upon the Legislative majorities in the States
recently heard from, n heavy responsibility to
use their power with the utmost discretion. He
must be a very confident man who will affirm
that tbe anxieties and ditliculties which affect
our Goveixment, centre alone upon the ques
tion of admitting or refusing to admit certain
States upon their individual conformity to given
Congressional enactments. Outside of and be
yond all that bears directly upon restoration,
ate issues ol a far-reaching character, involving
the maintenance of the national influence, the
national credit, and the national dkruity abroad.
It can hardly be wise to put lorwJJp strong pre
tentions tp a potential authority in the concerns
oi other communities, until we show that we
have compassed a solution of the difficulties
which have so long beset ourselves.
