dinary significance to tne events of the
coming year. The discussion of the
press, the debates and act of Congress,
and the movements of the leaders in
every section of the Republic will have
a direct bearing on the Presidential
election of 1880. an event that must
be regarded with the most anxious in

whatever his political ideas or alle
giance. To these elements of interest
may be added thg picbability that the
Democrats will control both houses
of Congress, the increasing feebleness
of the fraundulent Administration,
and the spread and strenghthening
everywhere of a healthy abhorence of
fraud in any form. To presence with
