THE
..NEXT HOUSE OF REPRE
• SENTATIVES.
Froin present indications,- at the next
session,the House will h4ve-a Democrat
ic majority of at least ten, and when - ;the
seats aro all -filled this 'majority =will be
increased to fifteen. If the . clerk, Ati.
Adains, were` to place upon his rolls , the
names of all Republicans whose election
is dialled, the House' would stand 149
Democrats to 144 Republicans( thni giT-
ing.the Democrats a majority, of five. 7--
The Republicans claim that the :lolls
should thug be made up hut 'thelaw
,
they passed sortie, "years agO'giv es . a large
•
discretion to:the clerk, ins pases . of
test. There is every - reason,,to .believe
that the'House when it meetVin`June,
Will be - made up Of 288 milinbers, of
whom- 149 will be Democrats .and,l39
Republicans, viith :
_five' absentees. 'lt is
barely possible that the- number ke
publiCatis may be'. one lese;;through the
failim of the courts 'to •di r cide in one of
the Missouri cases. It will 'be, Peon that
. , ,
this gives the Democrats a- inajority of
tern or eleven, :instead of five;ais'claimed
by ;the Republicans.
The five disputed districti which will
not . he're presented on the .assembling of
the House "
.are two in 'Louisiana, two in
Florida, from which there ..are a doable
set of returns, and, one - in-CuJorado;: .In
the latter case there is a legal question
involved concerning ther ; right of Mr.
Belford, who has the ,Governor's
.certifi
cate; to take his seat on 'account of the
manner in which he was. Voted for last
autumn . . In the FloriclaCase GoVernor
Stearns gave two certificates to Republi
can members who were notoriously: de-
feated The returns were aftetward re
canvassed by the new Retprning Board
under the authority of, an -act of. the
Legislature. and Governor-Drew-certified
that two Democrats weie elected. Clerk
Adams will riot
_Undertake -to decide be
tween these two delegations, but' will
. _
leave the names of both o the roll. In
Louisiana, Kellogg, certified to.the elec
tion of four Republicans and two Demo
crats, but ;the Democrats claim to have
certificates for four Democrats, leaving
two districts in dispute. When the
House conies to act on the admission of
these five disputed delegations it will
undoubtedly vote to admit, two Demo
crats from Florida and two from Louis
iana, thus carrying the number of Demo
crats in the House up to 153. While
the case of Belford will probably be re
ferred to the Judiciary Committee, Pa
checo of California—reported elected by
one vote, - mill be unseated at a very early
period in the season, so that the Demo
crats will have a -working majority of at,
least fifteen in the House.
It seems that there are. aboUt two-thirds
or a dozen lawyers and judges of more
or less distinction who are willing to step
into , the cast off shoes of ex-Justice
Davis. A Washington telegram states
that, some of ,them have,filedapplicationa
with-Mr. Hayes Dyer their , own signa
tures. This creates but 'little surprise in
these degenerate days, but we can hardly'
associate ilny.'such act with the character
