i Republican Gains in Congressmen.
An Eastern dispatch says there
/ja much rejoicing: in Washington
' Over the Repablican : victory amony
the thoysaads of Government émployes aud their political friends.
Vhe Republican Congressional Com* mittee now tiyure up the gains made
/ jn the -Republican membership in
the next Howse of Representacives
about as ‘tullows: Onio 6,’ Indiana
2, Peiusylvauia 1, Louisiana 1,
'Pennessee 2; Counecticut 1, Lilinois
2, Iowa 2, Kentucky 1, Masseuri 2,
“New Jersey 1, Virginia 1,” Wisconwin}, ‘luis makes a-gatn-of 23 mem
bers,. Tu otfset this, however,* the
Democrats are feported to have
gained ‘two Cotigressmen in New
York, Lia ‘Ponusylvania, 1 in Ualifornia, wiicu deducted trom the 23.
believed to be gained by the Republicans, make a total Repudiicaa
gain of 18, ‘Chis gain, if veritied by
the oificial .igures, wi.l secure to the
Republicans the control of the or. Ganizatioa of the next House by “a
clear majority of 18 over’ Democrats
and -Greenbackers combined, and .
give them 7 more than a majority
of the entiré membership of 293.
The New York Lribuie’s calculation on Congress gives the -Republicans 163; Democrats 125. Repybli‘gan supremacy, is sure. Several
districts are classed doubtful. The
“loss of California (?) and Nevada,
makes a Democratic Senate prob"able.
ee
‘Figuring on Cross.
Some of our Democratic: friends 3
were figuring on fhe Assembly re-~
turns yesterday and occording to
their showing Cross had received 11
more votes than Patterson. On the
other hand, some of the well posted
and mathematically inclined Repub‘dicans made an estimate that brought
Patterson ont 34 votes! ahead of his
opponent, The odds are considerably in favor of Patterson, we are
sure, but it will require the official
count to settle the question definite—
ly. Inthe meantime it will be in
order for the friends of both sides to
put up their coin on the result, as
there is enough uncertainty to make
betting interesting. a
Noble Words. .
The following noble words from
our President-elect, James A. Garfield, seem as fitting upon this occasion as upon that for which they
were first uttered: ‘‘After the storms
of battle were heard the sweet, calm
words of peace spoken by the conquering nation,and saying tothe conquered foe that lay prostrate at its
feet, ‘This is our only revenge, that
you join us in lifting into the serene
firmament of the Constitution, to
shine like stars forever and ever, the
geand principl ethat all men, white
-‘or black,«shall be free ‘and stand
@ ual before the law.”
. “The Whole Hog.”
Yesterday morning Prof. C,H.
_Crowell, principal of the scheol, at
‘Rough and Ready (and .a stalwart
R:publican by the way), sent
tS. H. Dikeman of that place, who
-i alsoa staunch supporter of the
ation, a dressed pig accompanied
by the following written message:
8S. H. Drkeman.—Dear Sir. —
Please accept this pig. I send it :to
youin honor of our late political
victory, knowing that on the Repablican side you always go ‘‘the
whole hog.” Yours very respect—
tully, C. H. Ceowsut.

” vom TRE TINKER.
The Tale,of an Early Day Incident
that Act#aly Occurred 1” the
‘Mountains.
:
“Do I remember when Tem the
‘Tinker fust struck + Wal], I
should remark I did,” :
The above was the response of an
old-timer to the query of the TRANscript reporter who tackled him
yesterday for the purpose of getting
together some of the. early-day legends about the camp.
“Yes, I remember Tom ‘the Tink~
he popped on our visious was a cau~
tion,” continued the venerable pio-—
neer. ‘‘There was about a hundred
or more of usduwn in the bar-room
of the hotel where I stopped, and .
. we was waiting impatiently for grub.
You see thar was sliding doors be‘tween the bar-room and the dininghall. They was a'ways kept locked
till the hash was on the tables fora
meal, and then. when they “was
throwed open we used to rush in
like a pack of coyotes. When business was’ good there was’ always
about twenty-five more boarders
than pla es, and those who got in
last had to eat at secoud table.
Wall, on the day in quéstion we all
stood thar jammed up as clus to the
doors as we could git. We were
packed-in thar like sardines, waiting
for the doofh.i9.apen so we. could
rush in and fill our hungry stomachs. Stiddeiily a red-shirted—cuss,
six feet high and fiery “eyed; withx
kit of miner’s tools strapped on his
back and a big bowie in -his hand,
sprang in the front way flourishing
his weepot and “yelling, “‘Let me
at the ! Let nre get at the
--—-+-— jest one minnit!” He
was headed straight for them dining room doors, and: it was amusin’
to see the hungry boarders scramble
out of the ferocious stranger’s way,
crying to their fellow miners, , ‘Look
out for the emigrant, yeu fellows
thar at the tother end of the room.’
‘Weal naterally thought he was on
the’war path, and it didn’t take wa
a York iminnit to cleara path for
him. Oneor two-of us tried to
grab him ai he rushed past, but he
threw us offeasily. The minnit he
reached the sliding “doors he quit
yelling, the furious. look lefthis face,
and sheathing his knife he remarked
to us with a smile and alow bow,
‘Thank you, gentlemen. I feared
that I might be compelled to wait
for the second table.’ It was Tom
the Tinker, as we afterwards learned, dod-rot him. — At first-we talked
of lynching him for the trick he
played on us, but by and by we got
cooled down and had a hearty laugh
over the affair, Tom the Tinker (he
ig now one of the most prominent
citizens of the Coast and might feel
ashamed to see his name printed in.
this story) always had the respect!
of the boys after that day that he
introduced himself so forcibly to
us.” : :

A Scotchman's Answer.
Mr. Spurgeon recently told the following anecdote as he gave ~ut the
anthem. To appreciate the story, it
must be remembered that Scotch
Presbyterians, with few exceptions,
‘sing only thé Psalms of David :
A high churchman and a Scotch
Presbyterian minister had been a’
the same church. ‘The.former asked
the latter if he did not like the ‘‘Introits,”
He replied, ‘I don’t know what
an introit, is.”
The difficulty heretofore” éxiatiiig
between the City Trustees and: Mr.
Lones regarding the former opening
a street from Commercial to Pine
through the property of the latter
has finally been amicably adjusted.
The contending parties agreed at a
special meeting of the ‘Trustees held
Thursday evening that each should
select one arbitrator to: set a price
on the property, and if they could
not agree those two should chonse a
third one, Mr. Lones gave bands in
the sum of $1,000 to abide the decisign, whatever it might be. The
‘Trustees appointed Geo, “F. Jacobs
as their representative, and Mr. Lo-~
nes selected J. H. Hamiltsn. These
two met yesterday morning. The
former was of the:opinion that. $300 .
was a sufiicient price for the, thirty
feet of land, while the latter’s figures
were $400, They could not agree
upon the matter between themselves,
and called in N. P. Brown, who co—
incided with Mr, Jacobs by apprais—
ing the property at $300, which sum
was forthwith paid over to Mr. Lones by the city, the transfer was
made and the suit in’ the Superior
Court dismissed. :

He replied, ‘‘No, I did not enjoy.
it at all,” ‘
man, “‘kecause it was used in the early church ; in fact, it was originally
sung by David.”
‘‘Ah,” said the Scotchman, ‘‘then
that explains the Scripcure. I can
understand now, if David sung it-at
that time, why Saul threw his javelin
at him.”
This was followed by a loud peal
of laughter, when Mr. Spurgeon
said, ‘‘Now let us sing the anthem.”

M.—-his mornming’s papers make the

This change from last night's. report
is due less to any turn in report of

tabulated statements. These differ
considerably. There’ are evidences
of loose work stifticient to discredit
all estimates. Undoubtedly the estimate of two thousgnd last night
