THE NEXT CONGRESS. GOUD PROSPECT OP A REPURLICAN MAJORITY. Bpecial Dispatch to The Tridune. & Wasnineton, D.C., Nov. 17.~In Maryland to-lay, in the contested case of McComas, Re- publican, against Walsh, Democrat, for Cone grens, the official count showed that McComas, Republican, Is clected by nine majority. This fact s conclusively demonstrated, nutwithstand- ing the Immense amount of ballot-box stutling on the part of the Demncrats, and the runnlog in of hundreds of voters from the District of Columbla and clsewhere. The Governor of Maryland can scarcely réfuse to give McCotmas, Republican, a certiticate. This will give the TRepublicans In the next Ilouss 145 mewmbers as to whose election there Is no rea- sonable doubt. The majority of the next House witl be 147 embers, and to sceure this majority the Republicans haveonly to gain, according to the figures clafmed by the Repub- licau Committec here, tvo additlonal members, Thero are at least five Congressmen In doubt, three of whom the Republtcans confldently ex- pect to elect, There are berlder, doubtless, two additional Republicans in South Carolina whom the Democrata have not conceded to the Repub- licans, Moreover, in the 144 which the Demo- crata now claim there Is at least one, Alexander Stephens, whose presence In the next House is scarcely probable, on account of {1-health, In any event, from present indications, the partles are 8o nearly divided that the control of the organization of the next House may depend on the sickness and deteution of two members. . A BARE POBSIDILITY. In view of suggestions that the House maoy pussibly refuse to go Into joint convention to count the Electoral votes, or may In some wny prevent the constitutional declaration of the clection of a Republican President until the sussion I8 clused, when the term of Gen, Grant would end, and no inaugu- ration could take place, the Republicans have a plan by which all diffizulties which tne Demo. crats would scck to make would disappear. If Gen. Grant sliould resign on the 8d of March, the President pro tem., of the Senate would be- come President, and continue to act us such till 8 Presldent was elected. WISCONSIN. THE BLECTORAL RUGAROOD. Special Dispatch to The Tribune. Maprson, Wis,, Nov. 17.—As the ofticlal re- turns come in from the several countles in this Btate showing the result of the recent election, the average Democratic bummer and leader to a certain extent is made lappy again, IHis hopes are excited by the betfef that they may possibly steal an Electoral vote from the Republican side. As has been stated in these disputches, one Miner, a candidate for election and sppointed Postmaster at a country village subscquent to his nomination, was deposed vt that accouunt by the Central Committee, and the Hon, D. L. Downs was sclected as his successor on the Electoral ticket. The change wos rapldly passed along the Republican line, and so thoroughly that not a single vote was cast for Miuer, but the solid party vote was POLLED POR DOWNS, In the return-blanks sent out from the offlce of the Democratic Secretary of State to all the towns of the State, the name of Miner was printed as & candidate for Elector. The result {s that a number of the town Inspectors, fu the haste and gencral earelessnces of making the returns, have filled up the Miner blank with the vote sctuslly cast for Downs, and the same wil be canvassed by the Connty Canvassersand returned tothe State Canvasser. As the sunlterlng returns have come In the Confederates,wlo, by the way, hiave beon very much duwn In the mouth of late, thought they could see where thefr much- needed Electoral vote was coming from, and conscquently they were in high glee. In all such cases It was clearly the duty of the County Canvyasscrs to SEND POR AMENDED RETCRNS and make the correction, but the word liad been telegraphed around to the Democratie counties, and theirBoards of Canvassers refused to du so, nithough In nearly every Instance demands were made upon them. There fs not the Jenst danger of a luss to the Republicans of this vate, even If enough returns should be made, false a3 they are, to count Downs out of the canvass, whicl'is hardly probable. A SPLEDY REMEDY can be had by a writ of iandaimus from the Su- preme Court to compel the State Canvassers to vorreet the vote as it was actually cast. Steps bave already been taken by Clialrman Keyes and Gov. Ludington to be Tully prepared for tlis emergency, if it shall arise, 80 this lust hope of the bulldvzing Democrats will go by the board and avall them nouthing. y ARKANSAS, THIRD CONGRRSSIONAL DISTRICT.

The possible action to-dayof the Cook County Canvassing Board created considerable discus- slon yesterday afternoon, It was stated that it all the incomplete veturns be expunged, the re- sult would be the election of the entiro Demo- cratfe county ticket, the defeat of Aldrich for Congrees, and the poseible turniog of the fables on n joint ballot - in ghe next Leglslature, _Gen.
