We have many fragmentary returns which
We refrain from publishing, knowing that our
readers in these times want, rather. an intel
iigible summary of the grand result.
Last year three or four tickets were voted
for, and the apparent Democratic losses in
Schuylkill, Bucks, Allegheny, &C., refer to the
main opposition ticket only. In none of them
has the result differed materially from the
anti-election estimate of the Democratic county
committees, on advice from whom (haviIg
their letters before US from each county in the
State) we made up an estimate leading US to
the conclusion th at the Democratic State ticket
could not fail to triumph by an aggregate ma
jority Of at least 5000. The returns so far re-
ceived satisfy US that we did not over estimate
the probable result in favor of our own side
PHILADELPHIA, Oct l5.-BedfOrd county,
Democratic majority 140-20O gain. Chester
county, Union majority 6OO-gain 400. In
Philadelphia the Democratic majority for CO.
nal Commissioner is 2,236-seven precincts 10
hear from. Cassiday, Dem } 445 majority
for District Attorney.
Noe This his refers to the Old City, ard in
his whole party ticket there -ED
PHILADELPHIA Oct. I5.-Reading gives a
Democratic majority Of 6,172-a gain of 1863.
| NOrE-This means that Berks has given the
majority indicated above.
PHILADELPHIA, Oct Is The Democratic
gain in this city is about 5000 In the first
district, Florence is elected by 2, 279 majority;
second district, Morris (Union) l73 majority
third district, Landy Dem. over Millward-
Democratic gain fourth district, Phillips
Dem elected by large msjority-a Demo
cratic gain.
Lancaster county gives {, 1000 Union majority.
Note We place no confidence in this round
estimate 1t is evidently a mistake. 1t is
possible barely that we nayhave been beat
IN there by 3,500.l
In the sixth district Hickman (dem.) is
elected. The returns are go incomplete and
confused that the aggregate Democratic gains
cannot be arrived at with certainty; hut
enough is known to render il certain that the
Democrats have swept off the majority of last
fall, and undoubtedly have a majority of
D 900 at least in the State.
PHILADELPHIA.-A private dispatch to US
from, usually q very reliable source, sets down
the Democratic majority in the city land coun-
ty, as consolidated) at 5000
CONGRESS AND THE LEGIsLATURE.-AtI ID.
N. to-day, We received a private dispatch
from person in whose judgment we confide
usually saying that the Democrats have elect
ed IL Of the % Pennsylvania members Of Con.
gress.
This must include Marshall over Morris in
the old city, where according to the Associated
Press's dispatch the race between them was
exceedingly close. Also Hickman, who will
hereafter somewhat moderate the
tone of his ultraism on the Kansas question.
In the city of Philadelphia we have elected
our Senator and Assembly ticket, of course
The National Democratic Committee have
received the following dispatch from the Penn
sylvania State Central Committee
PHILADELPHIA, October 15.-Pennsylvania
gree:s her sister States, North and South, with
shouts Of JOY for the Union and Constitution
The returns so far received warrant US in
believing that even If the north and north
western counties give the fusion ticket the
highest majOrities claimed for them in the es
Inmates on which the opposition managers de-
Iuded their cOn6ding followers (as in the last
Virginia gubernstorial election) to bet on
beating the Democrats by 10000 majority,
should prove correct, the Democratic State
ticket will still triumph in the State by from
eight to twelve thousand majority.
The Democrats have the Legislature by q
large majority, according to a private dis
patch to the editor Of the Starr
OHIO.
The returns received from the election held
