The election of Members of Congress

Hampshire Patriot contains returns from
1874 towns, which give the Republican tick
ct IL .066-Federal ticket, 12,451. Ninety
one towns remain to be heard from, which
last March gave large republican major
ity.
The following paragraph is copied from
the New-Hampshire Gazette of the tenth

PORTSMOUTH,, November 10.
We had prepared our list Of votes giver
in at the election, but finding from variou.
correct sources that the returns, as pub.
lished. are very incorrect, we have postpo
nedits publication till our next. We are
not yet convinced that the federal ticket
has prevailed, tho they boast SO loudly OF
their triumph-It seems probable. from,
what we have heard, that the number OF
votes given for DR.. Goddard is taken for
the number on the federal ticket-Many
republican votes being given for DR.. God
dara, his number is not Just criterion. and
federaists may find themselves mistaken
IN making their calculations from it.
