Kenua, of the third West Virginia district, who has, since his election, been chosen United States sena- ator aa successor of Mr. Henry O. Davis. The lat* ter vacancy, however, has been Ailed by tha elec tion of Mr. Snyder. The governor of Virginia has refused to call a special election to fill Mr. Paul’s •eat.

Mr. Dlalno, who In earlier years had been a schoolmaster, know the advcnUKe of keeping whisperiug children apart if good order was to bo maintained. Jt hid teen comparatively an easy task, with hla vigor and firmness, tc maintain good order in thehoasodur ing the forty-first and forty-reconi congresses The width of apace separating mem non did :aot make It easy ^for the root* less ones to carry on oonveisation in their neats. When the new apportionment added fifty more sects to tbe floor It became necessary to removo tho-massive chain and desksand substitute light oane chairs and slender desks for the old ones, to narrow the aisles leading to the different rows of seats, and xo occupy every available loch of space In order to .accommodate the increoeod member ship. 1! it wai a matter of crowding ten years ag^ what will It be in the next house, when the mem berthle ls thirty-three larger than In 1873. Tbe crowding, of courae, ban beju accomplished by the same prooesaef reducing tho also of the desk*,.but ting th’ m atlU tloaer togethor, adding a new row to the outerolrdoand squeeaLog in seata where before there we *e narrow, very narrow aisles for aoceas and exit.

Dwight a Richard Crowley, all familiar faces In previous con gress, now crowded out by the large democratic gain from New York state. But Fraux Ulscock re mains to ask the honor of a complimentary vote of his party for speaker instead of Kelfer or Kaaon, which may serve as an indorsement for their sena torial race. Instead of Senator Lapham. The New Jersey delegation gains tho experience of Walter Phelps, a former member; but the familiar form of the rotund Miles Ross, tho presenoe of the rubi cund Robeson, of the veterau John Hill and tho .perpetual A. A. Hardcnburgh will no longer bp seen among the Jerseyites. Except J. Hart Brewer, of Trenton, the entlro delegation from New Jersey has been changed. CHANGES IN FENNSTLYANIA. -Pennsylvania returns the father of the house, Mr. W. D. Kelley; General filgham, cx-Spcakcr 8. J. Randall and Andrew G. Curtin; but where is Russell Errctt, the whcelhorse of western Pennsyl vania republicans? The courtly McLaue, of Mary land, wllj bo the governor of his state, while the defeated .'fpvkllcau candidate, Mi. Hart B. Holton, unlike Governor-elect Rooinson, of Massachusetts. £ ill hold ou to h!« seat in the house. Virginia atitl is Tucker, John 8 Barbour, who, for recent services rendered his party as chairman of the democratic committee, expects to be Mahone’s successor, and George C. Cabell, a familiar face to all. Think of old Virginia with only thiee democrats in a delegation of ten. The rest are re adjustees. North Carolina retains but one of her old representatives, A. M. Scales, and South Caro lina stfll hn>d*on to D. W. Aiken. Georgians will rnlaB Genc-wl Phil Cook.vonsecuthrely a member for maay sessions, and forover tho attenuated form da Alexander U. Stephens, whose presence now, Ills Mid, would be worth fifteen to twenty votes for Mr Randall. Hammond and Blount remain, both o. whom have been prominent In previous oon- f/cases, Trom Alabama still comes the gallant ■Kflary A. Herbert and tho scholarly FArney.wlth ‘feur other members o! the old delegation. Hern- ‘don, from tho first district, is dead, and Pryor Is the new memberfrom the eighth district. Miaeis* Mppl no louger scuds the wounded Hooker, with his ChcsterfielilUn manners, but tho old mem bers Muldrow, Money and Htngloton, will answer to thelrnames again.
