The political elements arc hsrll,
quiet Yet. although nearly week has
elapsed SINCE the election. The iraj;ng
politicians, and those who have siakcd
their money upon the success Of the
several candidates, have been very
much afflicted with tho Geographic re.
ports that have been sent in from the
several districts. One morning Hunt
would be elected. and the tci,ers ON his
election would wear smiling connicn-
anccs. bu, in the afternoon the lightning
would bring different rcporis. and III.
Seymour stock would rise ia the market.
Thus. for nearly n week, these polite
ians have been on tenicr hooks ard
their poke, nerves made exceedingly
sensitive. The tide has been ebbing
and flowing, and hope and despair have
alternately been the portion Of those
whose money has been up. waiting the
result ol The election. Victory ha.
been watering. but nj last Washington

signal failure. Truc.it took many votes

Ut the country,--those who cared moi
whether cotton was stiff ut ! : cents per

such clap trap concerns The mass OF
the people did not believe in this "toa-

even if the Soulherners should "spo,

ought TO be extended one single inch
beyond lis present constitutional limits.
1t was this spirit that entered deep into
the election and in some good degree
controlled its results. "Bill Seward"
as they call him, can't SO easily be put
down in this State, as some have i'm.
asined. lie is a strong man and a
shrcwd politician.

wings triumphant. The truth j., there
was certain clique in til, city bent
on defeating the election of Washing

frustrated all their plans, and defeated
their purposes, which if they had been
carried out, would have encouraged the

The Fair of the American Institute
was better attended this fall than it MAS
last. More than $4,000 were recciv-
ed for admission fees. Many of the

familiar to those who are in the habit
