DEATH OF JOHN L. STEPHENS.

Mr.. JoHS L. STEPHENS died at New York on Tuesday
night last in the 47th year of his age The New Yorl
Express says Of him:
Mr. Stephens the son Of Benjamin Stephens ESQ.,
Of most respectable merchants who survives "a
mourn his loss He born in this city, graduated
at Columbia College, and shortly afterwards admit
ted to the BAR and practced for years His health
being delicate, travel medically recommended to him.
and he abroad and visited oriental lands and
turning wrote work upon Arabia Persea and the Holy
Land which at stamped him writer of no ordi-
nary ability. Rarely has book attained more sudden
and at the time lasting reputation for its
author than this The subject new and being treat
ed in pSrspicuous and agreeable style, recommended
itself at 70 the reading world both sides of the
Atlantic We are happy to learn that the publication Of
this book Of travels produced to Mr. Stephens very
handsome return. So interesting was the material out
Of which this book composed that it's author made
it the theme of series of popular lectures in this city
soon after his return from the East
Mr.. Stephens next publication was a small book Of
travels through England but ii did attain the popu
ary we believe which has followed his other contrbu-
items to our literature
But is by his elaborate and eloquent work on Central
America, that Mr. Stephens win have laid his secures
claim upon postery as Of the most instructive and
entertaining writer's Of his age The valuable informa
ton, which, by great and persevering research he
beautifully gathered during his travels in that almos
terra neognitd he gave to the public with copiousness
Of illustration, both Of pen and pencil rarely equalled in
modern literature. ac
Since the publication Of the Travels in Central Anne
RIGA the pen Of Mr. Stephens has been idle He has
been for years past residing in this city, and in hi
capacity Of director Of the Panama Railroad has taker
deep and active interest in the prosecution Of an enter
prise that may be said to have originated from his owl
research and observation In fact TO his efforts for thu
promotion Of that great enterprise Mr. Stephens may b,
said to have fallen victim For several months past hi
has been suffering from the effects Of Chagrcs fever con
traete5 turing his last visit TO Panama.

HARRISBURG, Der. 15.-The returns from the Yves
generally show Democratic gains leaving no doubt
whatever that the Democrats have carried the State
the general ticket by from 10000 to 1000.
PHILADELPHIA Der. 15.-The returns as they come in
continue to indicate the election Of the Democratic State
ticket by very large majority The Democratic MAORI
ty upon the Congressional ticket will not run SO high
The twelfth district (Nr Fuer's is still in doubt and
the full official returns alone settle the matter The
vote in most of the counties is very light
suSBuRY, OcT l4.-The majority in Northumberland
county for the Democratic State ticket Woodward and
Hopkins) is 900. Christian M. Straub Dem, for
Congress- has a majority Of 600 Samuel Bergstresser
Whig is elected to the Assembly over Pomer Dem, by
$50 majority. The balapce Of the Democratic county
ticket is elected.
wILKEsBARnE, Der 1.-THE majority in Luzerne coun-
y for Woodward Dem for the Supreme Court, is about
300, and for Hopkins Dem for Canal Commissioner,
1000 The whole Democratic county ticket is elected,
excepting Dunning one Of the candidates for Assembly
and Brundage for District Attorney both Of which
uncertain and cannot be ascerained until the return
judges meet
We see no reason to doubt that the Wings will
carry the State in November.
The Philadelphia Inquirer has the following re-
marks on this election:
"The first great contest in Pennsylvania has taken
place, and the returns official and unofficial viii pour in
to render certain that the Opposition have carried their
candidates the Supreme Court and for Canal Commits
soner and by considerable majorities This antci-
paed by most of the observing politicians and thus
proclaimed before the election took place that the results
in October and November would in all probability be
widely different and that Gen. ScoTT would poll twenty
thousand votes than any Of the Wing candidates on
our State ticket We adhere TO that opinion There
thousands Of the citizens Of Pennsylvania who viii vote
for Gen. SooTT who did not support either Of the Wing
candidates Tuesday last There other thousands
who did not vote at all This is the case. Any one
who will turn the history Of the past will discover that
1t is impossible to get full vote out at State or local
election II has been so heretofore, and it will be SO
again At the Gubernatorial election in 1848 the whole
vote poed for Governor was while at the Prcsi-
Dental election in the year the total vote poed
1863 1872 the Wing increase being 1921 votes So again
when Cen Harrison was candidate Indeed it would
be absurd to suppose that any Wing candidate in the field
at the present time could with the strength and popu
ariy Of the Conqueror Of Mexico. He is known every
where throughout the length and breadth Of the land
His name and his fame identified with the national
history When therefore, the contest shall be positive
and between WINFIELD Scorr and FRANKLIN
PIERCE the whole American people win take an interest
in the struggle and the result win prove that sense Of
gratitude is powerful sentiment in the American heart

THE BALTIMORE ELECTION.

Our Baltimore correspondent writes as follows in
explanation of the which led to the unusually
large majority obtained in that city by the Demo
cratic candidate for Mayor on Wednesday last.
What he says of the local issue upon which the
election turned is confirmed by the Baltimore
papers:
Our Municipal election is over, and Mr. HoLLNs, the
Democratic candidate is elected Mayor by somewhat
larger majority than anticipated 1t became evil
dent before the day of election, that Mr. FRANCE must
be defeated, the election turned upon local issue,
touching the school question which operated against him.
Though the Wing candidate sound upon this ques
ton as any man in the city yet many Wings had their
doubts, and being tenacious upon the subject above all
others, not only refused to for him. but voted
against him. Let not the Wings be in the slightest dis
couraged. The unprecedented Democratic majority is
entirely attributable to the current of public sentiment
regarding the school question When Gen. ScoTT
before the people there will be mighty change The
Wings in good spirits and determined push on to
victory in November next"
