Missouri ELEcrIoN.-We have kept our paper
open until the latest hour possible, but are able to
give full reurrs from but two precincts. In most
of the wards the judges had not finished counting.
As yet all things are conjecture. The vote in the
city has been heavy, and, so far as we learn, equally
full in the county. The democrats viii! much con-
fidence claim the election by a few hundred maJo-
rity, and so far as we have returns we are inclined
to believe in this result. We shall be able to>mor-
row TO give the entire vote.
ILLtsols.-We hear from BeIleville that there
wss a furious excitement at the election Yesterday.
The contest was between Reynolds and Morrison,
for The Senate, and much personal feeling was ex.
cited. We understood that Morrison was ahead of
Reynolds in that precinct. At Pap's Honse, two
niles from the river, Morrison was in The afternoon
about five to one ahead of Reynolds.
