the States have elected members

The probabilities are that the lormer State will elect three Republicans, and the latter at least three Kepublicans to one Democrat. Assuming this to be the case, the next House consisting of 292 members, will stand Republicans 203, Democrats 88—a Republican majority of 115, and considerably more than two-thirds.

as to the status of

the Anderson, Lebanon &St. Louis Railroad. This question has been frequently asked during the last few months along the contemplated line. We have repeatedly inquired of several officers, and they invariably answer that as soon as a little difficulty as to the tax levy in Boone county is settled, the necessary capital can easily be procured for prosecuting the work. But that's the rub. How long will it be till this difficulty is settled The difficulty has resulted in a law suit in the courts of Boone county as to the legality of the means by which it is proposed to place the tax on the duplicate. At any rate if this is not a cor-

statement, a law suit is pending, on

the result of which rests the question whether the result of tho Boone county election to levy a tax can le made available. For several months already has this suit been on the docket. How much longer will it be there? May it not linger for a year, or two years? If so, the fate of the road is settled. It can not endure such a delay.

As regards technical qualities, the work of

American school of art have vet been laid. On the other hand, the very conditions which are so favorable to the production of humorous literature are inimical to the cultivation of high class art. l.'ntil America possesses a resident body of artists devoted to the higher branches of art, and the means of giving students the requisite instruction iu the technicalities of art, American draughtsmen and caricaturists are not likely to make any great improvement and so long as they have but an imperfect command of the artistic vehicle of instruction, their productions will be deficient in meaning as well as in skill.

Those l*a|or ?iir AYlieeln. The Connecticut River Railroad Company is about introducing for trial a set of paper car wheels under tho forward truck of one of its engines. These wheels have been known to car builders for some time, but the demand for them has been moderate on account of their cost, notwithstanding the universally admitted lact that they are safe and easy going. The wheels were patented by R. M. Allen, and are manufactured by the American I'aper Car Wheel Company, at Pittsford, Yt. They are manufactured by bringing a pressure of 300 tons upon sheets of common straw paper, which forces them into a compact mass, which is then turned perfectly round and the hub forced into a hole in the center, this requiring a pressare of 25 tons weight. The tire is of steel, and has inch bevel upon its inner edge, thus allowing the pa[er filling to be forced in, 2~0 tons pressure living required in the process. Two iron plates, one upon each side of the paper, are bolted together, which prevents tho possibility of the fillings coming out. The tire rests upon the paper only and partakes of its elasticity in conqr.etiee. Although these wheels are much more expensive than those in common use the patentee claims they are cheaper in tho end, as tliey wear longer, injure the track less, ami run with less noise than with wheels of any other pattern. They are already in use on some the Pullman palace cars, where their performance seems to justify Mr. Allen's claims.

The fertility of the newspaper mind has had a fair opportunity to develop itself during, the past week in head lines lor the horse malady. We have had the "E,)ihippic Disease," "Typhoid Laryngite," "Equine Plague," ''Epizootic Distemper," -'Malarial Incubus," "Jiippopatliic Embarrassment," "Quadrupeda Scourge." These are the most serious and thoughful grooves in which the relortorial mind has run but when it, has relaxed from ita dignified moods, it lias giveli currency to such humorous allusions as "Old Epizooi," "Exercise Promoter," "Bootmaker's Eriend," "Corn Doctor's Blessing," "Dyspepsia Cure," and "The Epidem."

Hepublican majority iu the Illinois Legislature, it says, "The. United States will lose one of the most illustrious men that has ever lent distinction to its councils—Lyman Trumbull."

Although Maryland went for Gree. lev by a small majority, the liepublicans of that State did nobly. In 1 SOS tho Democratic majority was 32.000 on Tuesday, Greeley carried it by about 3,000. One more pull, and Maryland will be a Kcpublican Staee. —Greeley's own State gives50,000 majority against him, though counted in by Seymour by 10,000 four years ago, and New Jersey, Democratic at the last two preceding l'residential elections, astonishes every oue by 10,000 majority for Grant. —The number of members in the lower House of Congress at present is 243, of whom 111 are liepublicans and 102 Democrats. Under the new apportionment the number of members will be I 2'J2, and though the Republican majority in the next Congri s. can not be precisely stated, it will certainly be jnuch larger than at present, and probably nearly a two thirds majority. —The

of the day following

the election thus commented on the result: "There is scarcely a parallel to the completeness of the rout and the triumph. Democrats have vied with Liberal liepublicans iu contributing to it,some of them by voting directly for Grant electors many more by neglecting to note at all. For the present the Liberal movement seems crushed."

A (YIIMUN for 1.175 Iteroiiiineiided. In his forthcoming census report Superintendent Walker will recommend the taking of a new census in 1875, in view of the proposed centennial celebration ul Philadelphia in 187G. The following paragraphs concerning the subject are taken from the report:

I do earnestly recommend that the attention ot Congress be especially invited to the propriety and expediency of an intermediate census to be taken in 1875, in preparation for the approaching political

and happier yet afifOIlt.

Another consideration which strongly

influences me in this recommendation is

the belief that a census in 1S75 would in all probability secure the taking of the

Federal census thereafter at intervals of

five years only. The interval of ten years fixed by the constitution has been found to be far too long for all the uses to which the statistics are put, except only for the re-distribution of Congressional representation.

So rapid are the internal changes of the country, ofteutimes setting calculations at naught, so fierce and vast the

A census of the United States taken under a system and with a management which would secure the publication of tho results by the first of June, 1S70, would be a noble monument to erect at the end of a century of nations life.
