Daubtfnl and Contested stents.
The openlDg of the Forty-second Congress
will present the novelty of contested scats.
In the case of Georgia, a contest was pending
for some weeks after the restoration of the
State, between Messrs. Hill and Miller, who
were elected in 1808, and Messrs. Whltely and
Farrow, who were elected In 1870. This was
finally decided in favor of the former, Dr. Miller
cot being admitted to hia seat at the same time
with Mr. Hill only because ho was laboring
under political disabilities which had
not been removed. But at the same time that
Whltely and Farrow were elected, Foster
Blodgett was also elected for the term which
begins with the Forty-second Congress. The
Senate may choose to give him the seat, or it
may decide his election illegal, and require the
Legislature to go through the ceremony of elec
tion 8 gain. In this latter contingency, the va
cancy indicated above will be filled by a Demo
crat instead of a Republican, as will be the
case if Blodgett gets the seat.
It is claimed that Governor John W. Steven
son, who has been elected to a seat from Ken
tucky, is ineligible because of political disabili
ties, and it is probable that opposition will be
made to his admission.
Until Zebulon B. Vance, Senator elect from
North Carolina, has had his disabilities re
moved, he is ineligible; and the present incum
bent of the seat, General Joseph C. Abbott, has
expressed a determination to claim it, basing
his claim on the ground that the votes cast in
the Legislature for Vance were absolutely void,
and that he (Abbott), having received the next
highest number of votes and a majority of all
those alleged to be legal, was regularly elected
as his own successor. The Senate may refuse
to receive Vance, but it is very doubtful if it
gives the seat to Abbott.
Texas likewise gives signs of a contested seat.
Morgan C. Hamilton, the present Senator, was
elected for the full term commencing with
March 4, 1871, as well as to All the unexpired
term ending with that date. Bat "his opponents
a few weeks ago discovered that his election for
the full term was illegal, and General Joseph J.
Repnolds has been elected his successor, evi
dently in direct opposition to the letter and
spirit of tho law regulating the election of
Senators. Senator Hamilton will doubtless suc
ceed in maintaining his right to the seat.
It is also understood that an effort wil be
made to secure the reference of the credentials
of Governor Clayton, of Arkansas, when the
session opens, on the ground that the body
which elected him was not a legally constituted
Legislature, it being insisted that the Speaker
of tho lower house was never formally elected
to the position, but was the mere nominee of a
caucus which met before the proper time for
the assembling of the Legislature.
Governor Alcorn, of Mississippi, who was
elected to succeed Hiram It. Revels a year ago,
is reported to have announced bis determination
to decline the Senatsrship, and if he persists in
so doing another election will be necessary, in
which event it is supposed that Revels will be
retained in his seat.
Tbe (Jliunxea to Take Place.
An unusual number of changes take place In
the Senate, at the opening of the Forty-second
Congress, nineteen Senators, including John W.
Johnston, Democrat, of Virginia, whose suc
cessor bas not yet been elected, ceasing to be
members. Only six Senators whose terms are
about to expire have been re-elected, these being
Lot W. Morrill, of Maine; Henry Wilson, of
Massachusetts; Aaron H, Cragin, of New Hamp
shire; Henry B. Anthony, of Rhode Island;
Thomas J. Robertson, of South Carolina; and
Morgan C. Hamilton, of Texas, all Republicans.
The Republican Senators, fifteen lu number,
whose terms expire are the following:
Willard Warner, of Alabama, who has been
in the Senate since J uly 25, 1868, the date of
the restoration of the State to representation in
Congress.
Alexander McDonald, of Arkansas, who has
served since June 23, 18C8.
Richard Yates, of Illinois, who has served one
term only.
James B. Howell, of Iowa, who has served
fclnce January 26. 1870, filling the remainder of
the term for which the Hon. James W. Grimes
was elected.
Edmund G. Ross, of Kansas, who has served
since July 25, 1806, filling the unexpired term of
the late James II. Lane.
John S. Harris, of Louisiana, who has served
since the restoration of the State, July 17, 1868.
Jacob M. Howard, ot Michigan, who has served
since January 17, 1802.
O. P. Btearns, of Minnesota, who has served a
few weeks only, to fill an unexpired term.
Hiram R. Revels, of Mississippi, colored, who
bas served since the restoration of the State,
February 25, 1870.
John M. Thayer, of Nebraska, who has served
since the admission of the State, March 4, 1867.
Alexander G. Cattell, ot New Jersey, who has
served since December 3, 1860, filling the unex
pired term for which John P. Stockton was first
elected, but who was ousted from his seat ou
account of irregularities in his election.
Joseph C. Abbott, of North Carolina, who has
eeTved since tbe restoration of the State, in
July, 1808.
George II. Williams, of Oregon, who has
served a full term.
Joseph 8. Fowler, of Tennessee, who has
served since the restoration of the 8tate, July
125, I860.
WaltmanT. Willey, of West Virginia, who
has served since tbe admission of the State, in
1803.
The four Democratic Senators whose terms
are about to expire are the following.
Willard Saulsbury, of Delaware, who has
served since 1859, and is succeeded by his bro
ther, Eli Saulsbury.
Homer V. M. Miller, who was elected in 1808,
but was not admitted to his seat uutU February
24, 1871.
Thomas C. McCreery, of Kentucky, who bas
served since February 37, 1868, filling the re
mainder of the term for which Hon. James
Guthrie was elected.
John W, Johnston, of Virginia, who has
served since the restoration of the State, Janu
ary 24, 1870, having been elected a a conserva
tive Republican.
The only Important committee whose chair
man retires is that ou the Pacific Railroad, of
which Senator Howard has been chairman.
But it is probable that there will bs a general
overhauling of the committees at the opening
of the next session, the 8outhem Republicans
being anxious to be placed at the head of some
of the Important ones.
HOUSE OF REPRK4ENTATITE9.
Tbe Hanse ttn It Hfmd mt the BeKtoalnff d at
the F.nd r the Party-first CuiirtM he
1 linnet la the Forty-second Consreas.
At tbe first session of th9 Forty-second Con
gress, the House of Representatives consisted
of 213 members, of whom 147 were Republicans
and CO Democrats. Three BUtei Mississippi,
Texas, and Virginia were a yet without repre
sentation. These States were entitled to 10 Re
presentatives in a full House, which consisted
then as now of 243 members. Georgia, entitled
to 8 members, which had been represented in
the previous Congress, was not represented
until the last session; Louisiana had but one out
of her five members admitted at the outset; and
South Carolina had but two Representatives out
of the four to which she was entitled. Before
the close of the term, all of these vacancies were
filled, and at the close but two fresh vacancies
existed whicn had not been filled by special
elections. These were the Third district of
Ohio, the seat for which remained vacant after
the resignation of General Robert C. Schenck,
appointed Minister to Great Britain, and the
Twenty-first district of Pennsylvania, made
vacant by the recent death of the
Hon. John Covodo. In the table given
below, we have not taken these two vacancies
into account, as they have existed only for a
few weeks at the close of the third and last ses
sion. The restoration of the remaining States
to representation, and the filling of vacancies in
other States, together with the ousting of a
number of members whose seats were contested,
raised the Republican strength at the end of the
Forty-first Congress to 171, and the Democratic
to 72, as shown below.
Elections for members of the Forty-second
Congress have been held in all the States except
California, Connecticut, New Hampshire, and
Texas, and at the opening of the first session on
the 4th of March, the House will stand 131 Re
publicans to 98 Democrats. The States yet to
elect are entitled to 14 members, of whom 10 are
likely to be Republicans and 4 Democrats,
which will raise the Republican side of the House
to 141 and the Democratic to 102. Two vacao
cies have recently been created by the election
of John A. Logan, of Illinois, and Thomas W,
Ferry, ot Michigan, as members of the Senate.
Below we give a table showing the standing
of the House at the opening and at the close of
the Forty-first Congress, and at the opening of
tbe Forty-second. A glance at It will larva to
show the changes which have taken place during
the present Congress, and the losses sustained
by the Republicans at the elections of 1870:

When the House is full the Republicans will
have probably la the Forty-second Congress 141
members and the Democrats 103, a Republican
majority of 89, and 21 less than a two-thirds
vote.
The business of contesting the seats of mem
bers originally returned has been raised to
frightful proportions during the present Con
gress. The cases numbered about twenty,
and the Committee on Elections were unable
to reach the last cases until almost the end
of the third session. Unsuccessful contest
ants received during the three sessions $73,030
in payment for their expenses, In addition
to which 128,000 were required for other ex
penses in connection with the contests. A
number of the contests were successful, notably
the two cases from this city, In which Hon
Leonard Myers, Republican, ousted Dr. John
Mofllt, Democrat, and Hon. Caleb N. Taylor.
Republican, ousted Dr. John R. Reading, Demo
crat. Hon. Henry D. Foster, Democrat, also
contested the right of the Ute John Covode
to represent the Twenty-first district,
but was unsuccessful. One of the most notable
cases was that of Charles H. Van Wyck, Re
publican, against George W. Green, Democrat,
who had received the certificate for the Eleventh
district of New York, but was subsequently
ousted, to the great Indignation of the Demo
crats.
The Forty-second Congress promises to be
almost as prolific of contests as the Forty-first,
about fifteen being already under way. Among
these are the Third d istrlct of Ohio, the Fifth and
Seventh of Virginia, the Sixteenth of Pennsyl
vania, 'he Fifth of Maryland, the First of Ten
neisee, the Third of Alabama, aud the Second of
South Carolina. The only case from this State
is that cf John B. Cessna, Republican, against
B. F. Myers, Democrat.
The complete restoratlou of the lately rebel
lious States to representation was one of the
signal events which bas marked the history of
tie Forty-Urst Congress. On January 10, 1871,
three of tbe Georgia Representatives presented
their credentials and were sworn In, every State
in the Union being' then represented la the
House of Representatives for tbe first time since
December, lbGO. As stated above, the restora
tion of Georgia to representation iu the Senate
did not take place until February 1. The fol
lowing Is a list of the States which seceded, la I

The restoration of tha Pouthera States intro
duced the negro element into the Houje, the
first member of Afriean ancestry being J. II.
Rainey, who, st the opening of the third session
of the Foriy-flrst Congress, took the seat for
the First district of South Carolina which had
been vacated by Whittemore, the dealer in
cadetships. In the next House there will be
five negro members, one from Alabama, one
from Florida, and three from South Carolina.
An unusually large number of members leave
the House at tbe end of the present Congress.
Of the 229 already elected members of the next
House, only 110 are members of the presont
House, and two of these have since been elected
to the Senate. One, whose vacant seat has not
been filled, is dead, and the remaining 120, or
nearly one-half of the entire number, have seen
the last of tbe Congressional service, for tbe
present at least. Numbered among these are
some of the oldest and ablest members of the
Houp.
Illlnoip, the first State in alphabetical
order in which there is an important change,
loEes tho services in the Houee of four promi
nent Republicans. Norman B. Judd has served
four 3 ears; Kben C. Ingersoll was first elected
in 1864, to fill the unexpired term of the late
Owen Lotejoy, and has served seven years;
Shelby M. Cullom has served six yean;
and John A. Logan, who was re-elected, but
leaves bis seat to enter the Senate, has served
over six years, being elected In 1858 and 1800,
as n Democrat, and in 1860, 1803, and 1870, as a
Republican.
Indiana loses the services of George W. Ju
lian, Republican, who served from 1849 to 1851,
and continuously since 1801; and GodloveS.
Orth, who bas served since 1863.
Iwa loses William B. Allison, Republican,
who las served since 1863.
Michigan loses Fernando C. Beamsn, Repub
lican, who has served since 1S61.
Missouri loses Robert T. Van' norn and John
F. Benjamin, Reppublican, who have served
Bince 1865.
New York loses John Morrissey, Democrat,
the ex-prize-fighter, who has been in his seat a
dozen time or so during his one term of two
years; Charles II. Van Wyck. Republican, who
served from 1809 to 1863, and again from 1809
to 1871; Addison H. Laflln, Republican, who
bas served since 1865- William H. Kelley, Repub
lican, who served from 1855 to 1359, and again
from 1867 to 1871; and Himilton Wild, Repub
lican, who has served since 1865.
Ohio loses Robert C. Schenck, Republican,
who has served altogether sixteen years, from
1843 to 1851, and again from 1803 to 1871. His
service is longer than that of any other member
of the Forty-first Congress, not a single mem
ber of which was in the House when he first
took his seat in 1813. During tho early period
of his service he was chairman of the Naval
Committee, at the time of the Whig supremacy
in Polk's administration, and during his later
service he was first chairman of the Military
Committee for four years, and then of the Ways
aud Means for the6arae period. Ohio also loses
the services of William Lawrence, Republican,
who has served since 1865.
Pennsylvania loses Charles O'Neill, Republi
can, who has served since 1863; Henry L. Cake,
Republican, since 1867; Daniel M. Van Auken,
Democrat, since 1867; George ' W. Wooiward,
Democrat, since 1807; John Cessna, Republican,
since 1809 only; Daniel J. Morrell, Ripubllcan,
since 1867; and William H. Armstrong, Calvin
W. Gllfillan, Darwin Phelps, and Joseph B
Donley, all Republicans, who have served one
term only,
Rhode Island loses Thomas A. Jenckes, Re
publican, who has served since 1803; and Nathan
F. Dixon, Republican, who served from 1849 to
1851, and again from 1863 to 1371.
Tennessee loses Wm. B. Stokes, Republican,
who served from 1859 to 1861, and again from
1805 to 1871; and Samuel M. Arnell and Isaac R
Hawkins, Republicans,who have served since
the restoration of the State in 180S.
Aid, finally, Wisconsin loses Halbert E. Paine,
Republican, who has served since 1805; Amasa
Cobb, Republican, since 1803; and Cadwallader
C. Washburn, Republican, who served from 1355
to 1861, and again from 1869 to 1871.
Among those who leave the House are the
chairmen of twenty-seven of the House com
mittees, Including those on Elections, Ways
and Means, Commerce, Public Lands, Manu
factures, Indians, Military, Private Laud
Claims, Territories, Pensions, Rail
ways and Canals, Education and Labor, Ac
counts, Patents, and several others not so Im
portant. Mr. Dawes, of Mass., it is generally
conceded, will be retained at the had of the
Committee on Appropriations; while the pros
pects of Judge Kelley, of this city, for the chair
manship of the Committee on Ways and Means
and the leadership of the ' House are regarded
as better thaa those of any of his rivals.
Tbe Republican caucus to nominate officers
for the next House will be held to-morrow eve
ning. Speaker Blaine and Clerk McPherson,
itBis generally conceded, will be renominated
and consequently re-elected; but there will be
something of a contest over the other offices,
the Southern Republicans coming la far their
share of the spoils.
