GD-The Elections last week were mos,
decidedly Of the scattering" order.
In NV York, thr contest WAS so close
that only the Official vote can determine
who arc elected. Probably both par,ies
have ''savei their country" or in other
words, part Of each ticket is elected.
In New jersey and Maryland, the Dem
ocrats carry the Legislature.
Delaware has decided for Convention
to revise her Constitution.
Michigan has gone Dcmocratic-Wis-
consin (for the first tilne) Wing
In Illinois, it seems the Free Banking
Law is approved by \ large majority of the
popular vote.
Iu Mississippi, the Unionis:s arc tri-
umphant, but by smaller majority than
was anticipated.
In Louisiana, the Seccssionists made no
show. and the contest between the Wings
and Democrats results in no change.
