Mr. Miller, of Missouri, and Mr. Childs, of New
York, absent since the beginning of the session : Mr.
Trumbull's seat vacant. A number of times withiu
the last four weeks the number recorded above as
having voted for Mr. Banks could have elected him ;
and if to these are added the republican know-nothings
who vote for Mr. Pennington, it would give to
the side of the House supporting Mr. Banks a clear
majority of the whole number, even with an unusual
attendance.
This listhas been prepared with great care, and
is believed to be accurate. If any gentleman is er
roneously classed it will give us pleasure to make
