Theodore Cnyler, Esq., who received the Demo cratic nomination, haa declined it, and tho Democrats are still without a candidate of iheir own. John V. Creeley, Esq., who nai nomi nated by a portion of the Republican Conven tion, persists in remaining in the field, despite the decision of the 8tate Central and City Executive Committees. The Democrats will doubtless cast their votes for him generally, hoping thus, with the aid of the Republicans who are dlsfatiHfied with Mr. O'Neill, to defeat the latter. The result is problematical.

The colored vote in tbis district will be suf ficiently large, piobably 1000 in number, to en sure a fair Republican majority. In 180S, Dr. Reading received the certificate, but was subse quently unseated by the House, on the ground of fraudulent votes in his behalf. Pennsylvania DrltciUlone la Ibe Past. Below we give tbe political 6tauding of the Congressional delegation of Pennsylvania after each biennial election, since the organization of the Republican party: K-p: 13 . 21 ..18 ..12 ..16 ..18 ..18 Dem: 12 4 7 12 8 6 6 8Mb Cocgrcss, elected 36th " " 37th " " 381 11 " " 89th " 40th " 41St ' " In 1S66.. 1S5S.. 1800.. 1802. . 1S64.. 1SG0.. 1808.. Hew the Next Delegation will Stand Concerning the standing of the delegation to be elected on Tuesday next, it la, of course, im possible to speak with certainty. At present, the Republicans have 13 members, while the Democrats have but 6. The latter have calcu lated on retaining all their present seats, and wresting as many more from the Republicans, which would make the delegation a tie. The six districts which they anticipate gaining, with the majorities la 1808 and 1809, are the following: Moj in Maj. in Maj In Maj. in Diti. lWib. let 'jtut. 1S(X 6th... 411) ...61lU.,16th.. 144 R....188D. loth... .225R .832IL 17lh.. 1004 K....458R 13th 811R.... 64D.'21st 825R....298D. But If there is anything like a full Republican vote polled, all these districts except tbe Six teenth and Twenty-first are assured for the Republicans, and tbe chances of success in the two doubtfu1 districts are very fair. In the Sixteenth district, composed of Adams, Bedford, Franklin, Fulton, and Somerset coun ties, Hon. John Cessna has been nominated by tbe Republicans, while tbe Democrats have pluctd in the field Benjamin F. Myers, Esq., one of the proprietors of tbe Harriaburg PatriolAQi an avowed free-trader. This circumstance has made the district almost certain for the Repub licans. It will be teen, however, that the small Republican majority of 144. in 1S68 was ex changed for a Democratic majority of 188 on Ittrlrer, Item. 1541 1067 1379 1322 13fi7 , Itep. ,.1199 ..1878 . . l.M6 ..103.8 . 284'J ,. 304ft Henry, K-p. ..2181 ..3717 ..4495 ..1321 ..1848 ..1016 .. t81 the vote for Governor In 1869, and that the grojud Is fairly debatable, i'ln the Twenty-first district, composed of Fay ette, Indiana, and Westmoreland counties, there was a Democratic majority of 293 on tho vote for Governor in 1869, while In 1868, Covode (Rep.) claimed 325 majority, and Foster (Dem.) M majority. The Democrat) have again trusted to Fopter's popularity with the repeaters, but the Republicans have placed In nomination the Hon. Andrew Stewart, the veteran protectionist, w'io has already been eight timos elected to Congrcs. at various dates from 1820 to 1811. 1 1 the gross frauds which have so frequently Iron perpetrated in this district by the Democ racy can be prevented, there cin be no question of the result. There is still another doubtful district '.he Twelfth, composed of Luzerne and Susquehanna couotltf at present represented by ex-Chief Justice Woodward. In 1806, tie Democrtt had a majority of 2006; in 1863, this was cut do vn to 1789; and last year, tho Republicans carried the , district by 16 majority on the vote for Governor. The difeatlefactlon of the miners with Demo cratic free-trade principles led them to bolt the tU kct in 1809, and may lead them to do so cex , Tucfdny, and there is some hore that the R i publican candldata for Congress will gain the scat. The so-called Reform Republica movement iu the Alltghany districts Twenty-second a id Twenty-third looks rather formidable from a distance, but the Republican majorities in 18Srj were so large that they do not seem to be en dangered by the new movement. There is likc w'ue but little danger to be apprehended from the Independent Republican candidate ag-t'efct Gilflllan in the Twentieth district. Taking it aUogether, the next delrgition w'.il probably stand the present doe eighte2n to six with the possibility of a Republican 18 of one. or at mor-t two members. THE STATU 1-EUII,ATCRE. Importance nf the neat I.efrlMlatnre-The Krw Apportionment -The (Strength of Panic In the two Ilonare. The Legislature to be chosen In this State on Tuesday next is of unusual importance, in con sequence of the circumstance that it will be charged with the task of reapportioning the State into Congressional Districts under the census of 1870, as well as of reapportioning the Stute Senatorial and Representative Districts. This is done once in seven years, and conse quently it Is only once in seventy years th it the double task of a Congressional and Legislative reapportionment falls to the same Legislature. Another important duty will bo its action upon the report of the Commissioners to ie vise the Civil Code of the State. In the Legislature elected last year, the party lines were divided as follows: Jot Ht Fennte Jr..,.. llci.ublicaii 19 60 74 Democrats ....15 40 63 Republican majority. .. 8 20 23 The last Legislature which was entrusted w ith tbe reapportionment of the Legit-hvivd dis tricts that elected in 1803 stood as folio v: Jotllt Bo'H-.

There is a prospect that the Repub licans may gain one member in the Fourteenth district, which has for six years been repre sented by a Democrat, and another in the Twenty-first district, which has been lately re presented by one Republican and one Democrat. This would give the Republicans 20 and the Democrats 13 members In the new Senate. But, if the Democrats should carry both these de batable districts, tbe new Senate would stand 17 Republicans to 16 Democrats a bare ma jority. Tbe only Philadelphia district In which au election is to be held this year is the Third, in which the vote for Governor last year stood as follows: lf'i J. ';.

The colored vote iu the district will reach about 1050, which will go far towards securing the diitrlct for the Republicans. The Ilouno of Kepreaentatlvea undergoes an entire change every year. It is impossible to predict the result, and to give an approximation to the probable standing of the new House. In 1869, the Republicans carried 13 of the Philadelphia districts and the Demo crats 5. This year only 11 districts are certain for tbe Republicans, with a possibility of carry ing 13 altogether. Outside the city, there ie no reasonable prospect of a Republican gain of more than four members, while there ie a prcspect of Democratic gains in ten districts. The Republicans will doubtless have a fair majority in the next House, hut it will not ex ceed that in tbe last. Tbo Philadelphia Representative Dlatrlein.
