Democratic leadership did not make much progress in Oregon in its loudly advertised campaign for control of the next house of representatives. Representative ToDgue doubled iiis majority of two years ago, and the other Republican candidate for congress in Oregon has a majority of majority of more than 8,000. The combined majorities Df the two members of the next house first to be elected this yea t are in excess of 14,000, an unusual triumph for Oregon Republicanism. The gentlemen who have convinced themselves by ingenious figuring that there will be an increase of two or three Democrats in the Indiana delegation to oongress had better try it again in the light of these figures from the coast.

A party of Northern Republican Congressmen whom Congressman Thompson of Alabama, took on a tour of observation through the “black belts' 1 of hie own and other southern 6tatee, have returned from their trip. According to Congressman Littlefili of Maine, they found the southern negroes contented and happy, and far from being the sad, oppressed and downtrodden being he has been pictured. They are making notable progress in wealth and education, agd it will probably not be many years before the great mass of them regain by education, the rights of suffrage now denied them on account of color; it being only the ignorant ones that the southern laws disfranchise'. 'This congTEBBional trip wbb the one 6uch great efforts were made to induce Congressman Crnmpacker to accompany, that he might see with his own eyes the actual condition of The southern negroes. He evidently was afraid it would spoil hie zeal for bis Qaixotic plan to reduce Southern representation if he saw the negroes as they are, and he oould not be induced to go.
