Florida advices say that the Repub licans will contest both seats in Con gress on the ground of gross fraud by the Dmocrats. The Congressional vote in California is as follows: Total Republican Tote 79,766, total. Democratic for tame 79, 184; Republican majority 612. Little Rock, Ark. Nor. 30. Offi cial returns of this State are as follows: Hancock, 60,481; Garfield, 41,661; Weaver, 4,161; Hancock's majority over all, 14,659. The official vote of Maine has been decided as follows: Garfield elector, 74,039; Hanco:k, 65,171; Weaver electors, 4,480; Dow electors, 92; scattering, 127. Garfield's majority over all is 4,169. At a special election Jjeld Tuesday, November 30th, in the Nineteenth Ohio congressional district, Judge E. J). Taylor was chosen to fill the racau cy occasioned by the resignation of General Garfield. The returns of the election in the twenty-six counties in Washington Territory are all in except Stevens. Tho total is 16,017, and Brents major ity is 1,721, which will probably be in creased to 1,821. Brents, (Rep.) 8,874; Burke, (Dem.) 7,143. Official returns from all the states aliow that the total number of votes polled in the Presidential election is 9,192,595. Garfield received 4,439, 415; Hancock, 4,436,014; Weaver, 305,729; Dow, 9,644; scattering, 1,793. Garfield has a plurality of only 3,401. On Nov. 29th, Messrs. Nicholas, Stagle and Clark, sent out as a Gov eminent Commission to view the portion of the Northern Pacific Rail road, have submitted a report to the Secretary of the Interior accepting seventy-five miles of new track. The new section of read accepted is situated in the Territory of Montana. The great line is pushing West as fast as it can. Jackson Ferguson, Supervisor of the census of Nevada, has just completed returns for that State. Official figures are not yet published. He informs the Reno "Gazette" that the total pop ulation of Nevada is within lOTT'or S00 of 60,000, showing a general gain .over the last census. -Contrary to ex pectation, Storey ccranty has gained, having at present a population between 16,000 and 17,000, an increase of about 4,500. Enumerator Ivan FetrofF has finish ed the census of Alaska. There are about 33,000 people in that Territory of the United States, of which 18,000 art Indians, 1,300 Aleuts, 1,500 Cre oles, or mixed Russian and Aleut blood, 128 w,hit9 males and 4 white females. This census embraces the people on all the Aleutian islands, but does not embrace 2,200 Espuimaux t between Behring Strait and Point Narrow, the latter to be reported by Capt Smith. Nor does it include the population of Sitka, and Southeastern Alaska, which was to be taken by a deputy who has not yet reported. Alaska has about 30,000 human be ings, of whom possibly 300 are white. There are unmistakable indications that the Democratic parly of the South is disrupting. The Chicago "Times" (Ind Dem.) summarizing a Washington special says 'that Texas Representatives arriving at Washing ton join in recommending a new de parture in the South in consigning the Democratic party to its grave. That State is enjoying great prosperity and its people ask only of the federal Government that no aggressive policy be pursued towards them. At a .council of leading men it Galveston since the election the sentiment found free expression that hereafter the electoral vote ftf the South should be given to the party which most consults Southern interests. Daylight is break ing over Dixie at last, and don't you forget it Says the New York "Tribune:" We extend our sympathies to Benjamin F. Butler, John W. Forney, Architect MulUtt, Lyman Trumbell and "Boss" Shepherd, In the midst of the hulla baloo over "who did it," they have been almost forgotten. Their Demo cratic friends paid thorn, when they went over, the delicate compliment conveyed in the remark that "rats leave a sinking ship," but the event does not seem to justify this tribute to their instinct or their intelligence. We would not for a moment think of com paring these noble patriots with rata, but it does occur to us that they ber a strong resemblance to a man who has put all bis paoHay into a "sure 'thing" and found out afterward that be has "bought into an Meeafaent." TMM HEW NATIONAL APraftTIOXMEXT. All speculation as to the number of members of the next House of Repre senUtives under the new census is pre mature. There are two theories about the popular body of Congress one that it shall be a small body compara tive v, so that deliberation in legisla tion is feasible, and the other that it shall be large so as to get as near the people as practicable. The latter according to the represen tative theory is the true one. The Sen. ate affords all the conservatism needed in our system of government, particu larly when it is reinforced by the exec utive veto. Again, the smaller the body the more easily it is controlled by great interests and combinations, as well as by individual of great influence and O'ter.- Then, again, under the present prac tice and which must prevail under any rati possible of adoption, the work of legislation is done in committee, and the necessity of extended debate in the House is not important. The theory, Too, that everr member examines, each measure is one of the pleasant pictures of our system, but is a thing almost unknown, for the simple reason that if it was the fact, the public business would never be attended to. If the House was double in members what it now is (293) the people would be bet ter represented, and minorities have a voice, where they are now denied ii It is just as easy to get along with 586 members when all the details are work ed out in committee as with 293, and in the event that the olicy of Congress is obnoxious to the people, or a very considerable body of them, it is much easier to change its complexion than where the districts are. large and the members few, for in that cafe manipu lation and pressure are more readily brough to bear. In another respect -the question is uncertain. The present number even if adopted will curt nil the represcnta tion, not only of States, but of sections and it is against human nature to part with power. Then, again, it is tery inconvenient to deliberately cut cer tain men from public life, and this must be done when a State has her representation reduced. It will n surprise us to see the .number of members of the House increas. ed at least so far as to retain the pres ent representation of all the States. This would give a larger increase to the growing States but even. that is to.be preferred to. the curtailment of any.' The one is unavoidable, the other can be presented. ABAKeNXEXT OF TBE KCAMZtTIP.V. The 8th of January is the anniver. sary of the battle of New Orleans. From time immemorial the Democrats have delighted to celebrate the victory achieved by Gen. Andrew Jackson on that memorable occasion, and by com mon consent "Old Hickory" has been acknowledged and revered as the pa tron saint of the Democratic party of the Union. The daj has annually been appropriated to renew undying devo tion, fealty and attachment to the prin ciples of the organization. If we can trust what we read, the day here tofore chosen to build up, tl be selected where a commencement will be made to pronounce death sentence upon it, and it seems to be reserved to Illinois Democrats to inaugurate the movement The following rather omin ous telegram sent by the associated presb, will explain itself: The Democrats will meet at Spring field on Jan. 8, to decide whether to keep up the party organization in Illi nois. ' Manr members favor abandon ing it and others are leaving the party who have voted with it from its mci piency. . m BakU Dakota, the territory that will next ask admissionlo theUnion, embraces an area oftwo "hundred thousand square miles, or nearly enough to make five states as large as Ohio. Five railroads extend their line westward well into the territory and immigration is rapid ly improving its rich soil. The climate and soil are like those of Minnesota. Dakota now contains 150,000 inhabi tants, rather more than the number now necessary to its admission, and it is rapidly increasing. It is proposed, however, to divide the territory and make a state of the southern portion, leaving the northern under a territorial government Judging from the mar vellous development of the Northwest within the past decade, it may be safe ly predicted that the time is not far re- mete when the waste lands of Dakota will be covered with rich grain fields whose yield will add millions to the wealth of the nation. The raajaritiee in the North for Gar field aggregate 520,000, and for Han cock 1,800, These figures may be studied with profit by some politician in the nascent state, that we know of; and partieatoly by a certain elase of editors. They are full of aaggestioa. TTAX TATE-ISTC ISSt. The New York "Tribune" figures up the-total vote of all the States at the Presidential election as 9,192,599. The same authority puts the total vote at the Presidential election of 1876 at 8, 408,819. In 1876 this total was dis tributed as follows: Republicans , 4,033;295 Democrat ," 4,284,265 Greenback 81,737 Prohibition.... 9,522 Total .'8,408,819 In 1880, thus: Republicans 4,439,415 Democrats.'. 4,436,014 Greenback 305,729 Prohibition 9,644 Scattering 1,793 Total 9,192,595 The total increase is 783,776, or nine and one-third per cent The Republi can increase is 406,120, or about ten and three-fifths per cent The Demo cratic increase is 161,749, .or a little over three and one-half per cent. The Greenback increase is 223,982, or 274 per cent! It is proper to remark Ssn the increase of the Greenback' vote, that the party it represents was not fairly organized in 1876; that it reach ed its maximum strength at the Con gressional elections in 1878; and that since 1878 it has been a declining pow er in the land, notwithstanding the great apparent increase of the vote this year over that of 1876. At the next Presidential election it will in all preW ability have fallen below its standing four years ago. The seemingly small plurality of Garfield over Hancock in the popular rote, is due to the fact that in five or six of the Southern States the Republicans were bulldozed and not allowed to vote; or voting, their ballots were thrown out to the extent of two score thousand at least. But for these frauds and violations of law Garfield's popular majority over Hancock would have been close upon 200,000. This total vole of all the States, as suming the opulation of the country, exclusive of the Territories and the District of Columbia, which do not vota for President, represents about one voter to every fiye and one-third of total population. Deduiting the Chi nese, that is just about the proportion of voters to total population in the city of San Francisco at the late election.. S. F. Chronicle. The electoral CoMexe. The presidential electors met in tho capital of every state on Wednesday, December 1st, and cast their votes for President and Vice President of the United States. Nineteen states (in cluding Indiana with her entire 15 ballots) cast their votes for Garfield and Arthur, and nineteen states (ex cept one vote in California) cast theirs for Hancock and English. The eleven Hancock electors of Georgia, failing to comply with the statutes of the United States to meet the first Wednesday in December, the vote of Georgia is prob ably lost to Hancock. Reliable statistics exhibit the fact that the railway bailding movement in the United States has, under the im pulse of revived prosperity, attained an increase of 6,000 miles per annum in the total extent of the system, the ag gregatafbeing about 84,000 miles in the Republic. If the ratio shall hold good for the ensuing ten years, and there shall be no more destructive fi nancial panics, during that time, the census of 1890 will see a total railway mileage of 144,000 miles in the United States. The people of Minnesota have fit. tingly reproved Ignatius Donnelly for his impudent attempt to oust Mr. Washburne from his seat in Congress. Donelly said that a majority of over 4,000 was bogus. Now the people of the district have re-elected Mr. Wash burne by over 12,000 majority. What does Donnelly think of his contest, which he claimed the people supported! s Gen. Walker, the superintendent of the census bureau, states that he will have his work completed and be ready to report to Congress by the middle of January. The returns from the Southern states were challenged at first, but biter examination Gen. Walker pronounces them correct. This Con gress will probably make the new ap portionment Total coinage at the United States mints during October, gold, $3,978,835, silver. J2.279.000.
