y..,r4yr, TLEcTroN.-The returns are ,,o,y .,ll in. except from two counties. The last Richmond papers present the details a,d I tba general result. The Compiler says:
 a,Tbe subloiaed list shows that the Wing nartv r have TT votes, and the Jackson but but 50, giving the Wings a clear majority ;a inc lower house of tieeatg-seyea! 1hls majority will be much enlarged from two ces---iirst, from iile disafiectionofnem ha,s of inc minority of the last Legislature, many of whom, reelected, some Oh party grounds and some without opposition, will Guiit the ranks of the Prerogative party be- fore the next winter; and secondly, from the changes in the sentiments of new mem- bers who, though willing to upheld the Pre- sident in his attack upon the Bank, will hardly support him in his warfare against the Constitution and his outrageous usur- pations of power. Unless some mea- sure of very speedy relief be passed through Congress, we much doubt if the Jackson party will form fourth of the next Legisla- ture.a
 The Richmond Whig, by giving the Ad- ] I8n]BTalou Pditt stii dlooO ll0" "Ne ''dotbffiti," exhibits Nbig majority of 24 If the House of Delegates. There IS al present an Administration majority of 6 1T the Senate. Present Whig majority, II joint ballot, IS.
 But the ball is in motion. In defiance of deep seated prejudices and overshadow- ing power, the people of Virginia are rapid iy withdrawing from the ranks of the Ad. ninistra'ion party; and both papers agree that the moral effect of this continued change must undoubtedly be, to act fayorably upof the Senae and House of Delegates elect during the summer, and increase the Wf5e otqjotftg i,s joint ballot, when the time comes foi putting ii to the test, by the cleo ton oF a United States Senator. When the
 Houses meet, the majority in favor of a go vernmentof laws is more likely to be thirty or forty thu eighteen.--BaH. Pat.

Truly, editorial consistency has become thisg of air. When the President deela- red that he would appoint no more Bank Directors, if his first nominations were re- jec:ed, every Jackson press in the country cried out that 1t would be compromising his own dignity and failing in his duty to the co ntry, if he did so-and much We heard of Spartan firmness and stern determina- lion. The President has backed out, , and made, or Is about to make new nomin- ations-the names are giyen-and now the same papers are lauding the General on the other tack. What is the proper name for such men?

ARKANSAS AND MIeHIGAN.-ln aaotnef column, we publish the remarks of Nr. llp'

The following keen remarks were made by Mr. Leigh in reply to fhe animadyersions of Nr. Forsyth, upon the enormous enor- mity the sins Of the citizens of Baltimore in breaking the sanetity of the Sabbath, by holding meeting in the city on that day:
 Mr. Leigh felt no desire to take part in this conversation, but he could not fofbear remarbing, as one of the prominent "signs of the tIfnes,n he introduction of religion into tbe political affairs of inc Union. The other day, he had heard gentleman in an- other place drawing a parallel between the present times ln this country and those of Charles ]. and Oliver Cromwell III Eng land. He could not but wish that the gen. tleman from Georgia had been present. That gentleman had alluded to the meeting which took place at Baltimore on the Sab bath. The Hon. Senator, with his genius, he was sure, could not fail to discover one point of resemblance Ill that parallel.
 He, Mr. L., did not mean to defend any irregularities ofthe Sabbath, or to yindicate the people of Baltimore for having assem- bled on the Sabbath. The President was very religious nan-so was the gentleman from Georgia! He had no doubt of it. not the least. And, as he Mir. L.) should not Interfere between the conscienees of those individuals and he53' God, so should the gentleman not interfere between the consciences of the people of Baltimore and their God. He, (Mr. L.) could not resist telling story. A clergyman, remarkable for his Piety, was speaking in the presence ot q stranger, who did not know him, i'll terms of charity, of some irregularity, folly or vice, which that stranger thought very enormous. He then asked the clergyman this question: "sir, have you any religion in your heart?" The clergyman replied, ''none to talk of"
 Mr. Forsyth said, that of the religion of the President he did not think it proper to speak. He knew little or nothing about the matter, and therefore should not interfere with It. But of his own, as the honorable Senator from Virginia had referred to it. he Lnight say something. He regretted to in- form the gentleman, that, with respect to his religion, as well as many other topics. concerning which he had heard him express nlmseli, he was greatly mistaken He I NIT. was very, very sorry, he was not religious man. Now, with regard to the gentleman's story: he really did not under stand its point, and could not make any re- ply to It; nor did he understand his allusion to the days of Charles 1 and of Cromwell. lie had certainly done nothing to imply. a suspicion that he had attempted to address hlmseH 10 the false feelings of certain class of the community. He had seen such things done here several times, at which he had felt much mortified; but, nevertheless, he he treated such efforts with the most pro- found contempt

Speaking of the business before Con- gress, the New York Daily Advertiser makes the following remark: " We cannot but thinlz 1t strange that the affairs of the Post office are suffered to remain unexpIo- red and undisposed of, until this late period of the session." It IS, at first thouoht. strange that Department, in which there has been admitted mis-management and as- sumption of illegal power, should have been permitted to go on, during nearly six months of the session, without full and proper iD- yestigation of its affairs The reader should be aware, however, as we now re- mind him. that if one branch of Congress could ind it expedient to send Committee to Philadelphia to look up the corresDon- dence which members of their own body have held with the gentlemen connected with the Bank, and yet have not found time or Inclination to examine the confessed de- llnqaeneies of one of the most important and delicate parts of the Gosernmental machine under its peculiar charge; if, we say proper scrutiny of the conduct of tha Post office has not been undertaken by ona of the Houses oi Congress, the other n,,,et De De exonefafed rem blame on that score.- The heavy debates on very momentous questions which have so constantly occu- ped the Senate, have not prevented tho proper Committee of that body from, Iool,

The annals of faction, dark as they are, cannot afford a parallel for Q course so unreasonable, so unjust, so ridiculous. -
 The following resolution had been pfeyi- ously adopted. It is really pity that these agents had not the power of the Spanish h. quisition, as they appear to possess all the feelings and disposition of its ministers.
 s.Resolped, That the President and diree- tors of the bank be requested to furnish the committee with copies of all correspondence between the President of the bank, or any of it's officers, with members of Congress, or of unanswered letters received from any ofthem, since the first day of July, 1892, touching the renewal of the Charter of the Bank, the removal or restoration of the pub- lie deposites, or touching the business transactions of such members with the bank
 Return Of the Boak Gona,ittee.-We are not in the least surprised, to hear that the honorable Committee of the House of Re- presentatives have returned to Washington to relate their misadventure. Indeed, we were prepared to expect them back, from the moment VIC heard the well defined ru- mors of the previous acquisitions of the Committee addressed to the President and Directors of the bank acquisitions winch, under existing circumstances, the Commit tee had no riight to expect to be compiled with.

 The President of the U. States, t is said by letters from Washington, will now issue scire taclas. Let him do it. Let the bank be brought before the legitimate tri. bunal of the country, before court and ju- ry, and she can readily obtain that justice which would never be accorded to her by packed Committee of mercenary part. zans. Let the President of the U. States appeal to the Courts, and we venture the prediction that Bank Stocks will rise like z balloon.-La. Jour.

In consequence of dispute between Messrs. Cage and Hummer, of Mississip- pi, in the House of Representatives, con- corning portions of their speeches which had been published without being spoken, the former challenged the latter on the 18th ut. The latter accepted the challenge, but with the proviso that the meeting should not take place until after the adjournment of Congress-and in Yieksburg. The second of Mr. Cage refused to accept this and Mr. Hummer refused to give any other answer. and so. we suppose, ends the matter-at least fer the present.

A new Revolution seems to be cohfaeh- cing in France. Dist. ,."ances have broken ont and ,,..-a blood has been shed, in vari- cities, particularly Paris and Lyons The troops appear to have been faithful to Louis Philippe, as the hired soldiery eom- monly are to the reigning monarch. The accounts are plainly made up to suit the Goyernment-and one paper which pre- sumed to take different course [the Tri- bune,) was suppressed at once. The dis turbance at Lyons commenced on Wednes- day, April 9th, at the trial of some reyolu- tionis:s, whom the populace attempted to rescue, and severe action ensued, lasting from in the morning to in the evening. 1t seems that the insurgents were principal ly worlSmen, or mechanics, and in number between seven and eight thousand. The contest did not end with the first day, but was continued until the evening of the 18th. The Rebels-of course they are rebels un- til they hurl down the tyrant driven from every point, took refuge in the churches among others, in the cathedral, in which all who were shut up perished, to the number of 200. It Is said that on the first day, so of the troops were killed and l20 wounded; of the Republicans, 600 killed and wound ed. The disturbances at Paris of the 12th and 18th were not so serious. In fact. we have no account of the number of lives lost. It seems, however, that about 100 persons were arrested on the I2th and 18th.
 A gentleman, passenger from Paris ir the Poland, speaks of the scenes in tha city during the instruction there as trul, awful. The soldiers put to death all Der sons, of whatever age or sex, whom the, found in houses from which they had beer fired upon. In one house, of low cbarac. ter, were forty-seven persons, the women being employed in making cartridges for the men. Every one was put to the sword.
 There have also been disturbances in Belgium, in which the Goyernnnent exhibit ed its weakness. t needs no prophet to predict that the monarchs of Europe will have as much business as they can attend to, for some years to come, in uphold;ne for each other their tumbling thrones. The ball of Revolution wiu roll on, and if Free dom does not follow, new dynasties will.
