FIFTY - FIRST CONGRESS.

A PROBABLE KEPUBUCAX MAJORITY IN BOTH HOUSES. The' Republicans Have Most Likey Secured Control of the National Government—Where the Republicans Gained— Compiled from Latest Returns. [Chicago special.] Returns from the Congressional contests :show that the Republicans have secured full control of the National Government, increasing their majority in the Senate, and establishing a majority in the lower house. The Legislatuie of Delaware is Republic in by 2 01 joint ballot, which will result in the election of a Republican United States Senator to succeed Saulsbury and in the retirement of Secretary Bayard to private life, for a time at least. If the Republicans of West Virginia have secured the Legislature of that State, as claimed, a Republican successor of Kenna ‘will be chosen. * In the lower house of the present Congress the strength of the parties is: Democrats, 168; Republicans, 153; Independents, 4. The returns so far received indicate, granting doubtful districts to the Democrats, that the lower house of the Fifty-first Congress will stand: Republicans, 166; Democrats, 159; a Republican majority of 7. It seems likely that this Republican majority will be increased rather than diminished. Several Congressional districts are very close and it may require an official count to determine who is elected in them. Irregularities in ballots cast for Carlisle in the Sixth Kentucky District are alleged, and it is said that an attempt will be made to have such irregular ballots cast out, but the number of them is not, it is thought, large enough to elect his opponent if they are declared illegal. In several other districts, where the election is close, contests are likely to be made by the defeated members. The net gains of the Republicans are: California, 1; Connecticut, 1; lowa, 2; Louisiana, 1; Maryland, 1; Michigan, 2; Minnesota, 3; Missouri, 2; Nebraska, 1; Ne\v Hampshire, 1; Ohio, 1; Pennsylvania, 1; Tennessee, 1; West Virginia, 1. The net Republican losses are: Indiana, 3; Kentucky, 2; New York, 1; North Carolina, 2; Virginia, 3. Complexion of the House. ALABAMA. 1. R. H. Clark D. 5. James E. Cobb D. 2. H. A. Herbert* D. 6.

To wash easily: Soak your clothes ii cold water, soap each p ece well, put plentj on wristbands and other places that an much soiled (I always rub out rough dirt with a slight washing, or rather have ii done), then when all your clothes for firs; boiling are ready, put in the boiler witl cold water and heat it gradually, boil about twenty minutes or half an hour, then tak« out; wash out in clean water, and rinse. AVe have eight in our family, and a verj large washing, but it never takes more thai three hours, and I defy any one to shov nicer looking clothes. The clothes las longer because they are not rubbed or boilec so much. Remember to put each boilipgoi clothes in cold water, and heat after being put in. A tablespoonful of spirits of turpentine in each boiling will whiten thi clothes. f ——— I am no herald to inquire of men’s pedigrees; it sufficeth <ne if I know their virtues. — Sir P. Sidney.
