The Democratic victory of one Congressman in California, and the Republican gain of one Representative in Nebraska, will leave the House with 147 Republican members to 46 Democrats. With more than three-fourths of each House of Congress Republican, it will take many such Democratic victories to disable the Republican control of legislation, or to make a sufficient Northern Democratic contingent for Mr. Johnson's Southern Congress. And this event, reminding the people what the party is that has carried a Northern State, and showing them the gulf into which their supineness may plunge the country, will be likely to arouse an activity that will prevent any spread of this infection.—[Cin. Gaz.
The correspondent of the Boston Post, who is on intimate relations with the President, intimates that Johnson is preparing for a forcible resistance to the authority of Congress.
