The Electisns Il the TIL.
We gave few imperfect election returns
yesterday; received the evening previous near
the hour of going to press, and compiled ha i
iy. A thorough overhaulin: Of our exchanges
by the last mail, leaves the matter as far Is
beard from in the different States, about as fol-
lows:
Seymour soft and liquor Democrat. is elect
ed Governor of New York by plurality OF
from four to six thousand. Clark, Wing, stands
next highest Ulmann, Know-Notaing and
Silver Grey. next; and Greene c. Bronson,
Hard Democrat, lowest of all. The chances are
that the Wing State Ticket, with the exception
ofCiark for Governor, 10 elected, although this
is doubtful. The Wings and anti-Nebraskas
have carried all the Congressman as far As
heard from. Nothing definite is yet known in
regard to the Assembly. In New York City,
the Know-Nothings have lost the Mayor, which
they strongly counted on carrying. Fernando
Wood, Democrat, is elected. In this New York
election, City and State, Know-Nothingism has
received a staggering blow--a severe rebnke
for its presumptuousness in attempting to be-
come a separate party Of the country. So long
as it was content to select and support the best
men from both the old party nominations, it
got along bravely, but the moment it attempt
plainly seen and predicted at the time Ulmann
was nominated. The Wings and "Reformes'
have carried the Councils in the city.
In New Jersey, the Wings and anti-Nebraska
men have elected four out of the five members
Of Congress, aud have a good chance for the
fifth. The same party has the Legislature.
In Michigan, the Republican party have
swept every thing before them Douglas and his
friend, poor old General Cass, have scarcely a
plank left to stand upon. The Republican
State Ticket is elected hroughout-Bingham
beating Barry for Governor, a result entirely
unlookcd for by any party. Howard, Wal
bridge and WaIdroa are elected to Congress in
the first, second and third districts, with hopes
for Wisner, Republican, in the fourth. 1t is
thought, however, that the chances are in ia
vor Of Peck, Nebraska Democrat, in this dis
tric.. The Legislature is Republican almost
unanimously.
In Illinois, i. is certainly ascertained, that
Washburne, Woodwork, Knox, Norton and
Trumbull, three Wings and two anti-Nebraska
Democrats are elected. There is also no doubt
Of the election of Marshall, Nebraska Democrat,
in the 9th Egypt district. In the other three
districts the contest is close. In the Quincy
district, the Douglasites claim that Richardson
is reelected, while their opponents are equal
ly sanguine of the success of Williams, Wing
The same state ofafairs exists in the Springfield
district-one party claiming the election of
Harris, Nebraska. and the other showing fig
ures to prove the triumph of Yates, Wing. In the
other remaining district,it is equally uncertain
whether Allen, Nebraska, or Archer, Wing has
succeeded. II case the Douglas party elect
al three Of their candidates in these districts,
there will be Nebraska gain of one in Hi
nois. But the popular vote in the State upon
members Of Congress, will be largely against
DouGlas-not possibly less than eight or ten
thousand. Miller, the Anti-Nebraska caudi-
date for State Treasurer, the only State officer
to be elected this year, is elected. The Legis-
lature will be largely anti-Nebraska, and will
send to the [. s. Senate q man of that stripe in
place ofGen. Shields.
In Wisconsin, Wells, Democrat, is reelected
In the frst district. He voted in Congress
against the Nebraska bill, but was, at the late
election, the regular nominee of the Democrat
ic party. That vote saved him before the peo-
pie. In the second district, Washburnes ma
jori;y over Cur ucighbor Of the Hudson Land
Office, DR.. Hoyt will be from two to three
thousand. In the third district, Billinghurst,
republican, leaves his opponent. Macy, be-
hind 10 the tune of from four to six thousa nd
Charley Eiiiinghurst can walk into Congress
under the Ohio standard ofrespectability. The
Legislature is Overwhelmingly Republican, and
"Garstow and the balance are bound to have
. though time Of it the coming session.
So We sum up for to-day-good enough, GER
tainly, as Gar as it goes. The mail by the La
dy Franklin will further enlighten u.s.
