It is not probable, how ever, that ail Kepublicans will vote for a ongressional candidate, the name not Is-iti iu the regular parly cltiinn.

It is a ni'jst nnf..rt;inate suite of affairs for tho Republican of the District, and if it is not remedied it may be for the Ite- uc.io-uis of the nation as well; for, in the prevent crisis it is as important to have a Kepubli.-an Congress as a Iiepuh- ican President, and the majority might hinge on one vote. The delightful juzslins with figures. such as was indulged in by some of the frolicsome conferees iu the recent confer ence when seven was required to make a majority out of nine and three was d- lared to be a majority out of twelve, wil. not elect a Republican Congressional candidate in a three-cornered tight, and the sooner the friend of both candidates dispe! this delusion the suer arrange- tneis can lie made to have one or the other withdraw.

The conference opened in a farce; will the election close iu the same manner? s Fnder the caption of "A Political Crime" the Johnstown Tribune savs : We hope that during the next twenty- four hours either Mr. Thropp or Mr. I licks may withdraw as a candidate, and thus in a measure allay, until alter elec tion, the disgust felt by the earm-st, boii et, unselfish rank and tile of tiie party for the people who brought about such a state of alTaiir.

The Tribune content itself this morning by simply stating the facta in the case, and by expressing the indigna tion of tho rank and file over the state of confusion and uncertainty which inordi nate ambition has brought to the district.
