To be elected. IL Tennessee should have gone sgainst
him, and California Tor him his majority will be Z. The
returns from Tennessee justify a doubt as to the result, in
that State, though we are inclined to believe that Locoic-
coisin has uiumphed there.
The New York correspondent Of tho National Intclli-
genccr, under date of 9Th inst, says;
.Thc election returns Of this State arc still very impcr-
iect, and, although the result il clearly demonstrated, We
cannot yet arrive at the loot ngs. The Rspublicsn plu-
rslty steadily increases, and will doubtless be somewhere
between forty aud fifty thousand. This local success Ia q
great antdots for the national deiear aud many OF the
Republican organizations In this city arr about Ia hold
meetings to pcrpetuate themselves and take counsel for
future action. Indeed, one OF these associations met last
evening aud adopted resolutions declaring il preference
for the same candidates Tor the contest In 1880. aud pledg
lug itself To an un~avcring support OF the Phiiadclph's
platform. IL vas also resolved, in view OF the experience
Just acquired, hat "a stringent registry Law Is essential. foi
he security vi tho elective franchise, and that the .next
Legislature should be pettioned to enact one. In this
connection I may observe that the total vote Vt this city
was nearly eighty thousand. which Is about 5000 more
than was ever cast beforel
at is thought that the Democrats may have as many
as fifteen out of the 50 congressman, although the Repub.
lican priuts refuse to concedc them more than IL. Three
OF the districts are still in doubt.
"ln the city vi BROOKLYN the Democrats have made
almost as clean a sweep as here. They elected their can.

FLORIDA.
A few scattering returns from Florida are favorable To
buchanan. The Democratic vote, thus far, shows All in.
crease over the October election. when the Democrats car
red the State by over 800 for Governor, aud 200 Tor Con
gressmen.

cancy in that body will ui course be occasioncd by his
