J Here is net loss of 2, leaving - to hear
from, which last year stood Wing Ia 6 Loco
Foco If we stand the same now, we believe there
will be one Wing majority in Join, Ballot, but are
not sure Of it. Our best hope arises from the fact
that Montgomery County which we have put down
as elce1ing two il co-Focos, is stated in two In
diana papers received by us to have chosen t~'
Wings. That would put matters all right
p iS-Loco-Foco reports from Indianapolis
say the House is against US by 10 or more If so,
the Joint Ballot is against us.
vlRcIxlA.-A deep excitement pervades the
western portion of this State in regard to the rela-
tive representation of the two sides of the Biue
Ridge in the State Legislature. While the West
has more than half the Free Population and is
regularly gaining upon the East, it is allowed out
about so of the 1873 Members of the House of
Delegates, and Senators in proportions. Against
this it very naturally protests, and has just held
Convention Mt Lewisburg, Grccnbrier County. 10
devise measures calculated to obtain redress.
William Kinney, Esq, the new u. S. District At
torney, presided. Twenty Counties were repre-
scnled It's deliberations continued two days,
but the results have not yet reached us. We are
confident however, that such body will resort to or
recommend none but powerful ard legal measures,
and that it will not adopt the dangerous doctrine
that the institutions Of State may be legally
changed or subverted by even majority OF It's
People, otherwise than through Convention
called by the Legislature.
ALABANA.-We have returns of Members Of the
Legislature elect from over half the State, and so
far the Wings are rather ahead but there is no
doubt that the rest of the State will overbalance
them. The question of winding up the corrupt
and rotten State Bank and Branches is almost
every where paramount: the Wings earnestly in
favor of such course, with part of their oPpe
nen;s In one strong Wing County, the fact TINT
the Wing candidate was indebted s., 1000 to the
Bank caused his defeat.
Several unprincipled papers have spoken of the
Loco Focos of Alabama as the leading opponents
of their system of unsound, irrcdeemable State
Bank issues This is wholly contrary to the fact.
That party made the State Bank System, have
governed and directed it to this moment, and, as
matter of course, have ruined it. Ihe Wings now
with great unanimily insist on winding il up, and
part of their opponents concur. The latter lave
the power. We shall see what they will DO
OHlo.-The Senate on the 9th inst. passed an
Apportionment BILL by vote Of ~ 10 l6. 1t is
much fairer than either of those first reported,
giving the Wings of the 9 Districts and leav-
ing 8 more doubtful. 1t went into the House that
evening and was rejected on the first reading-by
&c 10 35 So all is at again.
ILLINon.-We have further and more favora-
bic returns from this State than those we have
published; but, as they do not warrant any hopes
that the Wings have carried the State, we do not
publish them ill more complete. The Wings
will have IL respectable minority in the Legisla-
ture.
ST. LOUIS ELEcTIoN.--In consequence of the
division in the Wing ranks, caused by the running
of Native American ticket, the Loco Focos have
succeeded in electing great portion of their
ticket Mills (N.) and Anderson e.. F. are
elected to the Senate; the Delegate ticket is d.
vided; and Milburn a.. F. elected Sheriff:
% Martin S. Waters, Constable in the Sixth
Wars, was arrested yesterday morning, aud held
to bail in the sum $3.50, or charge Of nhumanly
beating woman who was refractory on being con-
Quoted to the Tonbs. He struck her with rattan,
and on her resisting knocked her down-striking
her head against stone. She is now in the City
Prison considerably injured.
70 An inhuman wretch named Abraham Kelley
killed his wife few days since at Newport, Del,
by beating and kicking her. His brutality was re-
peaied once er twice-and she escaped from the
house but only TO die in the field, where she was
found next day. Both We're addicted to drunken
H Our readers will remember the atfray which
took place not long since in Boston, between w.

Boston Theatre. The trial of Mr.. Field for as

Nd, and discharged gun by falling upon some
logs on which it had been laid. Petty was shot

nisAts since, and was instantly killed No reason
