SATURDAY, OCTOBER 9, 1880. THE NEXT CONGRESS, Probabilities as to its Complexion. Next Merch, the Senate of the 47th Congress will be convened in extra session, no matter whether Garfield or Hancock be elected Preai- dent. Twenty-five newly-elected Senators will take their seats, of whom ten, from the states of Delaware, Florida, Indiana, Maryland, Mis- Siselppl, Missouri, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia aud West Virginia will be democrats. Gonera! Mehone, of Virginia, is included in this list, as he is now leading the democratic fight in that state. There is no question but that the aemo- crats will carry the Indiana legislature, as the state is districted in their favor. Of the new Senators ten will be republicans, from the states of Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Nebraska, New York, Ohto. Rhode Island, Vermont and Wisconsin. This leaves the states of California, Connecticut, Nevada, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania a3 doubtful. With the retirement of 25 Senators ia March it will leave 29 democrats and 22 republicans. Theten incoming democrats and ten republicans will in- crease the parties to 59 and 32 respectively. Therefore, should the repubilcans carry all five of the doubtful states it would be Impossible for them to get control of the Senate. The quad- rangular fight in Tennessee may result in giv- ing the legislature of that state to the republi- cans, though all the indications are against such an outcome. There are numerous — candidates for the legisla- ture, but democrats will generally be elected, as most of the independent candidateS are of that political party. Itis possib:e, too, for the democrats 10 get @ Majority of the New York legislature. ‘The senate, consisting of mem- bers, holds over. Of these 25 are republicans and 7 are democrats. The lower house, to b> elected this fall, consists of 128 members. To get a majority on joint bailot the democrats must elect 74, which, together with the 7 tors, Would give them S! on joint ball are working hard to get these 74 members the assembly, but the districting ot the state 13 altogether in favor of the republicans, Im Callfornia the chances are consid- cred favorable to the republicans, but the democrats and workingmen have made a cembination with the view of getting the U. S$, Senator, and they may succeed In Nevada since the wealthy Mr. Fair has en tercd the senatorial race with his barrel the re sult Is admitted to be tn doubt. In New Jer: the two parties have a pretty even race for legislature, while in Connecticat the outlook 12 decidedly favorable to the republicans. In Peau Sylvania Senator Wallace 1s making a deter- mined esTort to hold hisseat in the Senate, with the prospects somewhat against hin However, itis quite piain that the democrats will hold the Senate. In the House the representation from the south Will remain about asin the present Congress. ‘The democrats will gain one district In Ala- bama, one in Texas, two in North Carolina, and they will be likely to lose one in North Csrolina, two in Virginia and one in Teanessee, In the North the democrats will gain, perhaps, two districts in New York, two in Pennsylva- iia, one in Indiana and one in Minnesota, but they will probably lose one in Massachusetts and five in Ohio. Upon the whole, if the demo- crats succeed In ea Indiana the chances are in favor of their maintaining their present majority in the House. There are so many close districts, however, that the House majority will depend upon the drift the presidential election takes between now and November. The Census Investigation. GEN. WALKER'S REPORT ON THE SOUTH CAROLINA ENUMERATION. Secretary Schurz this afternoon made public the report of Superintendent Walker ot the census bureau on the alleged census frauds io South’ Carolina. After reviewing the state- ments made by the press, vane frauds, and the action of the census bureau in investigatin, the same, Gen. Walker says: ‘The extraordi- nary gains reported in certain of the counties in South Carolina and the state a3 a whole over the census of 1870 demanded, therefore, a care- ful investigation. It was notorious that South Carolina had not profited materially during the ten ) ears siuce 1810 by immigration either from jorge countries or from other states of the union, With a slight advantage from immigration tt Was hot possible that an old state could have gaincd in population in the interval sinc iSio to the degree which is shown by the compart. son of the two censuses. It follows as acon- clusion of the highest authority elther that the census of 1870 was grossly defective in regard to the whole of the state ‘or some constderabl parts thereof or else that the censu3 of 1880 was fraudulent. The census of 1570 might have been defective in a high degree witho it frandu- lent Intention through the incompetenc: or heglgence of the enuimerators employet, But the census of 1850 could not have exaggerates tbe population of the state without absolu= fraud, inasmuch as the census law requires the hate of every person reported to b2 writte 1 at length on the senedules with a score of partic: lars @S regards age, sex, nativity, occupation, So that any illegitimate aadition whatevec to the schedule must be of the nature of a con- scious and purposed crime.” Gen. Walker after giving reasons why fn bis Judgment the census of 1570 was incorrect say: * ‘ There was, Moreover, lacking In 1870 throu ro- out the general region, one very important sub. ject of enumeration, ublic interest in tae result and general inteiligence likely to be shown by the canvass. The interest generally manifested throughout the United States in the ninth census was far below that which has been shown the present year; but nowhere did the interest In the work of the census fall so low as in the states referred to in which political activ- ity under the constitution of the United States had scarcely revived. No specific allegation of fraud in the enume- ‘ation of South Carolina has ever been made to this cflice. The entire reason for impeach the integrity of the recent census was formed in the reported gain of population between 187: and 1850, The result of the investigation places beyond possible question by any fair-minded man the entire fault upon the census of 1870. I know of no reason, therefore, why any further charge should be made against the enumeration re- cently brought to a conclusion by the commis- sfoned and sworn officer of the government in South Carolina. The presumption which ex. isted against that work has been completely overthrown, and a strong counter-presumption has been created by the verification upon the ground of the schedules of inhabitants in the case of 1S enumeration districts :uccessively taken for special investigation on account of their exceptionally questionable charac:er. —— ee Political Notes.

ANOTHER RAILROAD DISASTER. TURKEY AND THE POWERS. ————— INTERNATIONAL OARSMEN, POLITICAL NEWS IN NEW YORK. What is Evening’s New York Pa- pecials from Indiana— [Special Dispatch to Me Star.) NEw York, Oct. 9.—This afternoon's papers devote a large space to dispatches from Indiana and Obio, Wm. L. Scott, of Penna., the demo- cratic manager bere in the national committer, gathers from ex-Senator Barnum’s dispatches to-day that the democracy will carry both Ohio and Indiana by asmall majority. He says In- diana will be very close, and more doubtfut than Obio, because republicans have neglected the latter state to make a areas campaiga ia Indiana. Mr, Scott, according to Gen. Dodge's statements, privately advises his betting fri not to risk'any money On either state. tary Dorsey telegraphs very encouraging dis patches to the republicans regarding In ifana, und the accumulating advices about yesterday nblican parade in Indianapolis, are ali quite suring to the repubitcans Mr. Sam. Medill, editor Chieago Tribune, aphs from Chicago just now Chat at this nt the Indications of republican siecess nxt day 1u Indiana are quite favorable. At the the result will be ciose. Republicans, he says, can win, however, it sufficlent precaution is taken to prevent the democrats from getting in more than an average amount of bad work. ‘The foliowing special from Indianapolis was just received at the Graphic ottice: “The re- publicans are rejoicing over two good signs of the Canvass of the vote of the young men who go to the poles for the first time. It wives them an excess of 2,000. This was a surprise to the democrats, who have claimed it almost solldly for Hancock, but who have not looked {t up as carefully as they have Some other things. The second cause for congratulation 1s found ta the democratic canvass. Republicans have held back their figures religiously. I have seen the democratic figures, aud they only claim a plu- rality of 5,970—a heavy admitted falling off frcm the 13,000 majority of two years ago, and much below their recent claims. “A 103s of one- ha'f of 1 per cent. from their estimate on the total vote means certain defeat.” The democrats here have some mysterious figures regarding the capture of a body of Ger- Man votes in Hamilton county, Ohio, and speak jubiantly over the news concerning it. Another dispatch from Indianapolis, just received, says: “The fight grows in stubbornness and bitter- ness, and it can no longer be denied that both sides are looking forward to something more than a political contest. They are preparing for bloodshed, and the city, from eS ap yearances, cannot escape from riot. How serious the trouble may become it would not be safe to predict.” eg ine T TS POLITICS, Congressional District: Morse’s ate-clection Assured — Whe Delegation Practically changed.
