in the next House of 55, if the States yet
to choose are represented as before. E
ve.n fhould tho Democrats carry the whol
12:2 mcaibers 'et to be elected, they would
nill be in a Ciinority of 43.
It requires 119 for a majoriiy of the
House.
It should be remembered that there
are several contested seats, which when
settled may increase the Republican
strength. Of the States yet to elect, the
Jepublicans have a chance for the mem
bers from Minnesota and California.
Tbe Postmaster at Warren, Ohio
writes at the request of Mr. Timothy
.Bradley, of Johnston, Obio, to ay that
the story of our correspondent announcing
that Jlrs. 13. was tbe happy mother of
children at a birth is a malicious hoax
and adda: "Mr. and Mrs. Bradley are
both respectable persons of respectable
latnuies nave ueen married anout six

iV: Y. Tribune.
- lTjSome weeks since a Washingto
cbrretpondent of the iVT Y. Herald as
fierted that the slave trade was in full op
eration at tbe South, aud that vessels
were constantly arriving with cargoes.
This was dcuied in various quarters, but
tbe same writer now reiterates his state
ment. He estimates that within the lat-t
eighteen months sixty or seventy cargoes,
numbering about 15,000 persons, have
been landed at points in the South, sud
rapidly sent iuto tho interior. This state
ment, or estimate, is very probably an
exageratioo; but that a well-orgauized
plan, or effort, is being mado to revive
the. slave trade connot bo doubted. The
conservative portion of the South are op
posed to it on account of its illegality, and
because it decreases the value of slave
property and will bring a host of evils in
its train. But conservatism in the South
is weak and ineffieenf, and has thus far
failed to show itd ability to cope with the
energetic and resolute class in the cotton
and sugar growing regions who seem de
termined to get their supply of labor di
rect from Africa.

made by Col. Forney, at Heading, on the

Erie Railroad Co.
We see it utattd in the city papers that
a crisis has at last been reached in the
financial affairs of the Erie Railroad, a
iudemept for S55.000 was recovered on
the 4th inst., aod by agreement an order
has been made to appoint s receiver, tho
result of which will be to take tbo road
ouc 01 me uauos 01 me cincers, and to e-
conomisc its earnings for the purpose of
getting rid of ome of its obligations.
The salary of Mr. Moran, the President
of the road, has been reduced to $8,000.
lt was at one time reduced to 55,000, but
asubs-quentvotcofthe Directors at once

Since the above paragraph was pre
pared for the press, we learn that tbe re
cciver has been actually appoiuted.
The Receiver appointed is, we are in
formed, Mr. Nathaniel Marsh, at present
becretary of tbe Company. His appoint
ment was mado by Judge Mitchell, at the
unanimous request of the Trustees of the
mortgage bonds, of a lurge number of
unsecured bondholders. Aa soon as Mr.
Marsh has executed his bond to the Court
he will pass iuto full possession of the
Road, and all managers will be displaced
except such as he retains.

I was yesterday an eye-witness to one
one ot the greatest teats or strength ou

cently made by somo Professor of dym
nasties before his audience, in his lecture
he said that the Belgian Giant, who wa
said to Le the strongest man in the world
could only lift, at a fair aud square lift
),is hands. 900 pounds. If this be
